Waists for the Summer,

Every summer girl, if she is at all a
fashionable young person, has num-
Der OF lingerie waists in her wardrobe.
The latest accessory to wear with one
OF these filDy waists is quaint little
fichu of soft null or sheer lawn. These
fichus have special name of their own.
They are known as lingerie waist
fichus. They are certainly a dainty
feminine accessory, and most de
c:dedly fetching. In addition to this
they are quite practical, as they give
Just the needed touch OF warmth
which is sometimes required with
these very thin waists oman's

For some time during Walt Whit man $ later years, MT Horace Traubel kept a daily record of the poets con- glimpses of the old poets last days with occasional looks backward. The November Century will contain, un- der the title of "With Walt Whitman in Camden" a number of letters and extracts from this record, running from April l5 to July IA, 1888. Sever al interesting portraits of Whitman, one taken by Mrs Talcott Williams of Philadelphia, in Whitman's Camden home, will add to the value of this new and close view of one of the most striking individualities of the nine- teenth century.
