shade, while the daintiest of pearl but
tons effect the fastening. White gloves
are lined with pale blue or lemon, pink
gloves have blue lining, and gray silk is
faced with lavender. White silk will
be stitched with black, and vice versa,
stitched in silk to match the Innings.
For street wear almond shades take the
lead in popularity.
Hand embroidery has invaded the
realm of silk gloves, as 1t has that Of
every other feminine accessory Of dress.
Most exquisite flower designs cover the
backs Of the hands on short gloves or
run the length of the arm on elbow and
shoulder gloves. Scallops Of button
holing or flowers finish the edges, while
one fantastic pair shows gauntlet fin
lsh of leather in soft pastel shade.
In combination with embroidery,
fllmy lace medallions are inset into long
silk gloves. Ruffles of Valenciennes also
adorn the wrists. A stunning pair of
black silk elbow length gloves, long
enough to give mousquetaire effect on
the arm, has double ruffie Of narrow,
black silk Valenciennes, alternating
with an inch-wide lace insertion from ell
bow to wrist
Filmy silk mitts refuse to be sighted.
Each year they bob up serenely, and
their persistency has finally won out.
The summer girl of 1905 will undoubt-
eddy have goodly supply to match her
evening frocks. Double rufles Of Valen-
ciennes finish the edge Of mitts, with
sometimes the addition Of lace inser-
lions.

SNAKES AS PLAYFELLOWS.
Big Reptiles Are Fondled and Chased
About by Children IN
Australia.

Children and snakes appear TO get
on we'll together In Australia. A writer
in Chambers Magazine, who lives In
sydney. says he has never heard In
the bush Of a snake biting child, nor
do the children show any fear OF
snakes. The bigger the snake the
greater the Joy in getting near to II,
and the stronger the desire to lay
with It. The snakes bright eyes and
sinuous motion probably charm. And
snakes, even the most vicious, respect
the confidence. At Koondrook. little
settlement In Victoria, woman heard
her child, IS months old, laughing as
II she was having great fun. The child
was supposed to be asleep In bed. The
mother went to the room, and found
the child sorambling over the bed after
something she could not see. That
happened several times. Once, how
ever. the mother went In suddenly. and
heard something drop of the bed.
Looking hurriedly under the bed, she
distinctly saw a large snake. that
turned upon her with evident intention
to fight.
When the husband came home he
pulled up the board Of the floor, but
there was no sign Of the snake. Next
day, however, snake and child were
discovered lying together on the floor.
the child asleep, and the snake appar-
emily 80. That night the husband tried
plan. He placed a candle on the
floor alongside the child and asked his
wife to play slow air on the harmon
ium. Movements Of the snake could
be heard, but the rustic was all he
youchsafed. Next night the child was
similarly posted, and the mother tried
the effect Of working her sewing ma
chine. The sound was TOO tempting.
The snake wriggled to the child with
alacrity, and was promptly dispatched
by the father II was a tigersnake
nearly five feet In length, and when
killed was foadled by the child as an
old acquaintance.

PERAMBULATOR FASHIONS.
Baby Carriage Is Subject to Decess Of
the Dame That Rules Wom-
ankind.

Babies, 1t would seem, are as much
ruled by Dame Fortune as their elders,
for not only does the style Of their cloth
ing reflect the whims Of that tickle lady,
but even the carriages in which they take
their daily airinSs.
A few years ago every baby Of posi-
ton must have its white perambula-
tor. Now the white baby carriage is rap
idly going out of favor, and rattan,
which formerly was much used in the
construction of smart "prams," is no
longer appreciated by aristocratic moth
ers.
The latest baby carriages are made
to closely initiate the broughams, motor
cars, etc, of grownup people, and skilled
workmen who are adopts in carriage
painting are required to exercise their
art for the benefit Of the society baby.
A sober taste prevails in colors, and
green, blue and brown are all in favor,
and many highborn infant has car
rage which is miniature edition Of its

Veal Curry.

Veal is one of the meats especially
adapted for curries. Here is an admir-
able recipe, recommended at the New
England School of Cookery: A slice Of
veal half an inch thick, Weighing a
pound and half, is cooked quickly In
frying pan without any butter The
surface should be quickly scared. Take
out of the pan and cut in pieces about
an inch and half square. Make the
curry sauce as follows: Fry two sliced
onions in half a cupful of butter, take
out the onions and add to the butter
the meat, half tablespoonful of curry
powder, and boiling water to cover.
Cook slowly until the meat is tender.
Thicker when done with -four stirred
into cold water and season with salt,
cayenne and a squeeze Of lemon Juice.
Serve with a border Of boiled rice.

MEMORIES OF LAST NIGHT.

Across the gray OF last nights skies
The stars like white nancissus chung,
And, sweetheart, mirrorsd In your eyea
The halo of their glory hung,
While far and wide the moonlight huns,
And somewhere, in our world apart.
mocker's sudden music swung
Last night, sweetheart.
The song below, the stars above,
Seemed but to meet and melt into
a silver symphony of love,
That thrilled our listening senses
through;
And, close within my arms, you knew
The depth Of each unspoken thought,
While life for me held only YOU
Last night, sweetheart.
And, oh, can there be more than this
Beyond the mystery of the skies?
A heaven sweeter than your kiss?
An Eden dearer than your eyes?
l am not good, nor great nor wise.
And yet by some strange chance Fate
wrought
l found the way to paradise
Last night, sweetheart.

growing crowd as the old fellow got
down on his knees and tried his luck

He flshed with no better success than

PA JONES AS FISHERMAN.
One Of the Infallible Signs That the
Glad springtime Is Really
at Hand.

Madam" cried Pa Jones, In wrath
full voice, after making a tour OF the cell
lar, In which he ripped everything loose
except the gas meter, says the Philadel-
phia Telegraph, what have you done
with the spadeH Have you generously
given It to one Of your poor Smith rela-
tives, or did you send 1t down to the
church fair to be CHANGED of for the
benefit Of the Foreign Missionary So
ciety?"
What do you want with the spade!"
asked Ma, as she calmly gazed at the
agitated Henry.
why, want to use 1t to play 'Parsi-
tar on the piano, to be sure" replied
Pa, snappishly Il want 1t to serve the
strawberries and cream for dinner! !
want 1t to tighten the second hand on
my watch! What else would you use
It for, madam? What else is a spade
good for?"
Il thought perhaps you wanted to dig
with t." returned the unperturbed Ma,
''and yet might have known better,
considering how ambitious you are
when 1t comes to real work"
well, am going to dig with II, Mrs.
Jones, II you must know" growled the
impatient Pa Il am going to dig worms
with til Do you"
What in the world do you want with
wormsi" interposed Ma, In q tone OF
surprise.
There you 60 again, madam!" barked
the esteemed Henry. "You are certain
ly the limit for asking idiotic questions!
One might think you were conducting
q civil service examination! What
would want with,worms? Do you think
am going TO use them for microbe
demonstration? Do you think intend
to bleach them and sell them to the
hash houses for spaghetti? No, angel
wife, l am going fishing, and want
those worms for bait!"
well, for mercy's sake, Hen Jones'"
exclaimed Ma, what does an old parrot
like you know about fishing? don't be-
lieve you could tell the difference be-
tween a bunco sucker and Jonah-fed
whale! don't believe"
Mrs. Jones'" was the indignant re-
ply of Pa, Il want you to distinctly I'M
derstand that | know all about fishing!
| am not only direct descendant OF the
famous fishermen Of Galilee, but lzaak
Walton used to be distant relative on
my grandfather sside, and Grover Cleye-
land is my old pal. Where is that
spade7"
"It Is out In the shed, where you left
Il last summer when you we're using IL
for an ice pick" replied Ma. Take hold
of my hand and I will lead you to It, II
you are 80 helpless. Then come out in
the back yard and will dig the worms
for you"
Now, don't get flippant, Mrs. Jones"
said Pa, as he started for the shed, you
will be glad enough to eat the fish when
catch them!"
81 don't think you will get whole
lot" was Mas doubtful rejoinder, "un-
less you can catch them with line of
talk"
A few minutes later Pa Jones was
digging dirt to beat the steam scoops.
but things didn't seem to be coming his
way, for after half hours work he dis
appointedly dropped his shovel and
mopped his brow.

SCOUTS QUEEREsT FIGURE.
Striking Appearance of the one-Eyed
Woman in the Grass-Green
Cloak.

From my point Of view the princi-
pal, and almost the only, charm that
Seoul has for the newcomer lies In the
novelty of the costumes that 1t pre-
sents, writes George KEENAN,, In Out
look. 1t is not Interesting architec-
turally, and 1t Is detestably and dis
gustingly unclean; but It's street
scenes, particularly in the unmodified
parts Of the old town. are unlike any
thing to be found elsewhere In the
east have already referred to the
strange impression made by a popula-
ton clothed wholly in white; TO the
grotesquely absurd headgear Of the
mourners, to the partly naked women
and to the effeminate, girlish appear
ance Of the boys; but in Seoul there is
another figure which is quite as strfk-
Ing as any Of these, and that Is the
one-eyed woman iR;the grass green
cloak.
Just as you are beginning to get ac-
customed to the woman in white, with
her handbreadth shoulder jacket, her
bunchy skirts and her semi-nude ap-
pearance, you run up against the wom-
IN In green, whose costume'is bizarre
enough to give you fresh shock Of
surprise. Her outer garment which
is all that can be seen, may be rough
ly described as a green silk water
proof, with white neck yoke and
sleeve cuffs. held together In front
by means Of four long ribbon tie
strings Two of these strings are
bright scarlet and two dull, reddish
purple, and they hang down In front
nearly to the ground.
A grass green waterproof, trimmed
with scarlet and purple ribbons, would
be striking enough, even II 1t were
worn in the American way; but 1t
IS not so worn. On the contrary, the
neck, yoke or collar is thrown over
the head, and the cloak Is drawn
around the face so as to conceal all
except one eye, while the sleeves,
which are mere shams without open
ings for the arms, hang down from the
wearer's ears. Anything more ex.
traordinary than this grass green bur-
moose, with its scarlet and purple
strings and It's dangling, white-mar-
gined ear sleeves, would be hard to
imagine; and when, In crowded
street or market place, you see a dozen
of these polychromatic apparitions
and an equal number of basket-headed
mourners gliding noiselessly to and
fro in a throng Of white-robed ghosts
who are tanning themselves or smok-
Ing long-stemmed pipes, you feel like
rubbing your eyes to make sure that
you are awake.
These women In green are the wives
Of men who belong to what may be
called the Korean middle class. and
their costume Is additionally said to
have had It's origin in ruse de guerre
practiced by the women Of Seoul when
the city was attacked by the enemy at
night in the absence Of all its male
defenders. The wives Of the latter, II
Is said, caught up weapons, threw their
husbands Jackets over their heads,
and manned Tor womaned) the walls;
and there they fought so bravely, OF
made such brave show Of fighting,
that the attacking force, taking them
for men, abandoned the assault and
withdrew.
In commemoration Of this achieve
ment the women and their descend.
ants were permitted to wear as badges
of honor the jackets that they had

The British WAY.

It has bean said that the English are

show this more than in the detsrmina-

thrown over their heads when they
rushed to the walls. This explanation
OF the green cloak sounds like q
story invented to fit an observed fact;
but the persistence Of color in this
particular garment, while all other
clothing remains white, and the trans
formation Of useful sleeves into con.
ventional shams which now hang down
from the ears, seem to indicate sur.
vival of some ancient and significant
custom.
