IMPROVED CLOSETS

Every woman who goes TO a summer
resort hotel knows the despair into
which she is plunged when she sees the
line of hooks behind a curtain which
constitute the closet wherein she
is to keep all her dainty clothes.

which she has packed in her trunk and

In the end that hangs down she will

Platonic Friendships.

When a young man and woman,
fancy-free and unfettered, become
really good friends, it is very delight
full to both; but there is always the
very strong probability that friendship
may develop into love. If the love be
on both sides, and there be no obstacle
to marriage, then nothing could be
happier; but unfortunately, platonic
friendships have way of ending in
a one-sided love affair which is in
variably the cause of much pain and
sorrow to one, and sometimes to both,
of the erstwhile good comrades.
But" you may say, friendship,
pure and simple, between man and
woman, is so delightful a thing-isn't
it worth some risk"
Not the risk of an unrequited, hope
less love, and therefore platonic friend
ships should not be INDUCED In by
either man or woman till they are
well on the shady side of thirty. For
younger people the risks are so grave
that they will be wiser to content
themselves with the less exciting
friendship Of their own sex till the
time comes when the friend is found
who, it is hoped, will become the part
ner and companion for lie.

Story from India of Little

Remarkable Story from India of Little
Animals Fight with Cobra.
One sultry afternoon a gentleman
who was staying in India was lying in
a hammock swung on the veranda Of
his bungalow. He was Willing away

when all at once he saw little sharp
nosed, bright-eyed creature all covered
with smooth fur and looking some
thing like bandicoot rat and some
thing like squirrel come creeping
slyly along the door He threw it
bit Of banana, which at first startled
it, and 1t acted as though it was GO
ing to run, but pretty soon il seemed to
think better of it and turned back and
snapped up the morsel The gentle
man grew interested and gave 1t some
biscuit crumbs. which it ate, by de-
grees becoming more familiar and in
clined to make friends. Just then some
one approached and the creature ran
away.
Then the gentleman was taken very

was just beginning to recover he sent
his servant away and composed him.

about to doze Off into dreamland he
saw a horrible sight. Describing 1t,
he says:
Creeping into the room from the
veranda, coil after coil, was huge
hooded cobra, the deadliest snake in
all India. more than seven feet long
and as thick as a mans arm. For a
moment 1 was fairly dumb with hor-
ror and then, although I knew it was
no use, instinctively called for help,
but my voice was so weak that II
couldn't even have been heard in the
next room.
ION came the snake, rearing UP its
horrid spotted hood angrily and blow

means mischief. 1t had already got
to the foot Of the bed and was just
preparing to crawl up when l heard
a skirr Of tiny feet across the floor
and saw my squirrel-rat friend. little
Tommy. The brave little fellow never
hesitated for moment, but went right
at the cobra like a tiger and gave II
a bite that drew blood like the cut of

upon its victory depended the life of

enemy's blows. until at last the rat

snake in its foppings knocked some
glass of table and the attendants in
the house, hearing the crash, came
rushing in.

FASHION NOTES.

Broderie anglaise appears on the
new parasols.
French cravats Of white kid, en-
broidered in colors, are new.
Sunshades of heavy linen bid fair
to be popular with the summer girl.
Elastic belts covered with velvet are
about the closest fitting to be had.
Deep, circular collars and cuffs Of
knife plated lawn are modish and
launder well.
Some Of the embroidered evening

In the wake Of the elbow sleeve
come long silk gloves In elbow length,

The real old-fashioned little sailor
hat comes in white with a bunch of
flowers at the left front.
Certain exquisite little French
blouses are very simply made, with
only tiny tucks and lace edging.
A soft felt hat with bunch of pea
cock feathers stuck jauntily through
the band is smart for morning.
The polo" hat is a little box tur-
ban, merely a crown, with a plume or
flower cluster at the side.
A buff silk petticoat with lots of
little black lace ruffles put on with
wide black velvet bands is quaint.
A hat to finish the season can be
had now for that infinitesimal sum of
money known as a mere song.
The skirts of the latest models fit
snugly over the hips, devices for at
tanning this end being innumerable.
Half-long coats of heavy renaissance
and guipure laces are to be greatly In

Rolling on the carpet, playing with her
Snatching at the sunbeam as it comes

Witching little fingers, moving all the

White as water lilies, full of grace as
they.
Sharing Rover's corner, tugging at his
paw,
Grasping pussy's soft fur, fearless of her
claw.
Eyes with beauty borrowed from the sky
above,
Lips of dainty curving, like the bow of
love.
Gurgles of low laughter, motions full Of
grace,
Dimples where the angels kissed the
baby's face.
Splashings in the bathtub, the mornings

Happy Is the household, meath the spell

COsTLIEsT INTER- IN LAND.

Bishop Horstmann Wears One that Il
Studded with Valuable Jewels.
The most costly inter in the United
States, inter which represents $1O,-
600 worth Of Jewels and precious
stones, is worn BY Bishop Horstmann,
Of the Cleveland diocese Of the Roman
Catholic Church. The bishop by vir-
tue Of his office is custodian of the
inter, which is the property Of the
church.
The extreme costliness Of the jewel
ed headdress is equaled by its arts
tic excellence and interesting history.
The gems which adorn the crown
were the gift Of Mrs. w. ]. Gordon,
wife Of the late multimillionaire. Mr..
and Mrs. Gordon were close personal
friends Of the late Bishop Gilmour,
Bishop Horstmann's predecessor, and
during Mrs. Gordon's last illness she
directed that her jewel box be given
to the bishop and that its contents be
used for a inter. Later Mr.. Gordon
added the Jewels of his dead daughter
to the collection, and when he was
shown a water color Of the inter as
it would appear when finished he was
so delighted that he agreed to bear the
expense OF making 1t.
The emblem is so thickly incrusted
with the gems that its fabric, white
MORE antique, is barely visible. The
Jewels are diamonds and seed pearls,
amethysts, turquoises, topazes and
garnets. The cruciform design is out
lined with pearl necklace and large
diamond cross is placed in the ecu
ter.
The inter was first worn by Bishop
Gilmour in 1888 and is exposed to the
public view only three times during
the year-at Christmas, Easter and
Pentecost.
