RGAIN.p DAYS.

The days have come when the shops are showing such great bargains that the woman who has decided to buy noth- ing more until fa1l goes down town to buy box of hair pins and glances Into a window and is lost.
 Displayed in the windows are the figures of many stately wax ladies, gowned in exquisite attire, with the marked down prices upon them-and who could withstand these.
 Anyway, not the woman who gazes in from the street. She remembers, all at once, with mental protest against her own extravagances. that she needs an- other white duck or linen skirt, going in, buys 1t.
 While she is looking around she comes across some dear little waists" and she buys two of these
 She buys a lingerie affair which she gave $4.9S for in the early spring, now reduced to $1.25. Hers but to buy or die.
 Then she makes up her mind that she shall not purchase another thing until she is ready to go to the tailor for her winter suit, and that she will devote all her energies to saving for that event.
 As she walks along meditating she comes to window full of beautiful hats, and they were s20, now she could<per- haps get one for the small sum of s5. Women like, the opportunity did appeal to her greatly. She goes inside and buys one that she is convinced looks better than the hat she bought at Easter time and she really likes 1t better.
 Then there are the belts that are going at a ridiculous price, some two for twenty-five cents, when earlier in the year they cost a half dollar and the dainty little collars, all reduced.
 When she goes home she has added greatly to her wardrobe but she isn't going to buy another thing until fall, (next bargain)
 Good clothes always make one feel good. and particularly useful in summer

NEW STORIES OF TOGO.
The Admiral Is Beloved By His Men, But His Discipline Is Iron.

From the Worlds Work.
 Although beloved by his men, Togo is known as "The Demon," because of the iron discipline he enforces. Shortly after the war with China a naval ofii- cer asked one of his men if ''the de- mon Togo" was the same man who Kure
 Yes said the officer, "but why do you ask?'
 Because" replied the questioner. when I knew Togo years ago at Kure he seemed to be very genial but silent man."
 Togo conducts himself with great modesty. When he returned to Tokio after his triumphs at Port Arthur his grateful countrymen gave him mag niflcent welcome y13ut he declined a formal reception, saying: "The was is not yet over. When we are through with the Russians you may. honor me if live" When be left Japan he dis appeared. The next that was heard from him was his victorious engage ment with Roiestvensky.
 Yet the admiral is said to be very gentle man. He Is fond of music and sometimes plays the Japanese stringed instrument called the biwa. Once he invited a number of naval officers to his house. After he played one of the Satsuman airs he asked professional biwa player to divert the guests with a patriotic song, Entering Formosa," which tells the story of Kitashirakawa, a brave and lovabe prince, who died fighting for Japan in the Formosan war. The monologue, with it's musical accompaniment, moved Togo to tears. He was unable to listen to the end and requested the musician to cease.
 In public Togo is most retiring. He almost shrinks from the people. Brs the moment he is on ship he becomes the master. His very silence com mands. The sea Is his home. Shortly before he took command of the fleets he took a cold on land. He hastened to his ships despite the protests of his family and friends. q always get well at sea- he said.
 When he comes to his home in To- k.o, where he lives in simple house in the outskirts of the city, he ceases to be the grim sea captain and takes up the simplest mode of life. About his house is garden, and here he may be seen digging among his chrysanthe- mumus, which are his favorite flowers. He loves the sports of the sea and is A keen fisherman. Sometimes during his leisure he hunts in the mountains. He is a good shot. Unlike many sail ors. he has good land legs, and often tramps all day with gun and bag of game.

The little door of my bungalow opens to the eastern sun. Consequently my after noons are spent on the eastern side where the trees fringe the cornfelds and the whole place is like green twilight. I am writing just where on one side is forest of Arden and on the other the young corn field which looses itself in a hedge Of elder and tall grasses.
 l shall always be grateful to the people who own this place for not wanting to live here except at intervals because the trees have been allowed to grow and what was once a driveway that led right to the bungalow door is just now completely overhung with rhododendron in full bloom. This driveway Is a very wide and lovely aisle carpeted with brown leaves that have fallen through winter days l hate to think of the leaves falling one by one to the earth and mouldering so near the boughs that gave them birth. A gust of wind today scattered the little dry leaves in every direction and 1 found a few of them nestling for shelter near a group of zenias standing straight and prim like sentinels.
 In May the whole earth was soft, as
 
 the velvety so1Iness of grass but a pe- ouliar quality of earth as if the earth and leaves had lain for months beneath the snows of winter. Then the warmth of June days dispelled some of the early spring sweetness and the leaves were raked away by two little sun-burned boys who wore clothes much too large for them and who were themselves entirely too small to throw the leaves over the sides of the OK cart. They had long harvesting forks and made brave attempts to get sufficient quantity of dry leaves to make bedding for their cattle. They returned regularly for days, raked with their har- vesting forks until they made piles of brown, crisp leaves and proceeded to fill an immense wagon with them, until l pro- tested. It has been so long since one lived here, that nature, l think, should remain unmolested.
 If l owned the pleace," said the dear old gentleman smoking his pipe in cor ner of the piazzo T should cut down some of those trees over there and culti- vate the land. The trees need thinning any way"
 "Those trees just back of the bunga- low?' asked in mild distress
 .'No one would ever miss them," he went on, land besides the ground ought to be cleared up like 1t is In the bottom lands"
 But" said imagine how incongruous a cornfleld would look so near that laurel. If there is to be anything there ought to be an old fashioned garden"
 'Then," he went on. Ignoring my last remark, "I should cut out some of the mountain laurel and the thick foliage over there beyond the little creek l can't even see the fence. This place is will derness."
 'The fences may be old" said land falling to decay and nature Is hiding their

FOR PEACE.

Club women of New York, whose avowed object is "to advocate peace among all nations" have founded a society which was incorporated yesterday under the name of ''The Womans Peace Circle of the City of New York" says the New York World Supreme Court Justice Blanchard signed the certificate of in corporation on the application of former Judge Thomas w Pittman.
 "It Is the intention to have the cer- tificate of the incorporation lightographed and a copy sent to all the rulers of the world" said MT. Pittman. The work of the members is to be confined within this state The principal office of the circle Is to be in Manhattan.
 "The order was founded on March 22 by Mrs. Helen Matilda Schramm and number of other clubwomen. Mrs. Ella Hastings has been elected president and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt honorary vice. president Mrs. Roosevelt sent letter of congratulations to the circle. I he gov ernors of all the state and the gov ernments of all the Souther American re- publics. who were notified of the action of the women. have approved 1t.
 The society announced that 1t will de- vote it's efforts and influence to the cause of peace by every means of ar bitration, because the settlement of all national and international disputes by war is absolutely contrary to the prin- cjples of civilization" and that "women, because of what they are called upon to sacrifice and endure in time of war, are peculiarly endowed to awaken in the hearts of the people the true enthusiasm and ardor necessary to make active and sympathetic the measures and purposes to be adopted against the terrible bar parity of war and in favor of the hu- manity and harmony of unsversay peace.

 an. Strange to say the middle aged lady was waited on first. How does it happen that every one in town seems in need of handkerchfs just at this partic- ular time, asked one lady of the floor walker as they looked at the women as they crowded into the handkerchief counter.
 They make things out of the handker- chiefs" said the man. "Kimonas, under bodies, collars, cuffs and all sorts of other things. Do you know we can't keep large enough supply to satisfy this summers demand.i You can make one turnover collar and two pairs of cuffs from one linen handkerchief. Plain ones or embroidered edges can be easily used for this purpose. Dainty underbodies can be easily made from couple of handker- chiefs. Three large handkerchiefs will make one of those dainty nightingales that ladies wear when combing their hair of for semi-invalid purposes.

 Several bright, warm days of the late spring passed before we could come to any decision upon the best spot for the veget- able garden. Fortunately there Is one other person whose opinion the dear old gentleman considers superior to his In matters of gardening, l need not say that I was asked to express my ideas on the subject.
 "The man has come to plant the gar den," he announced one day, tugging away at huge bag of seed.
 "But you are not going to plant the garden over there on the lowlands," said the one person whose opinions count for anything.
 "Lowlands," exclaimed the dear old gentleman, ''who said any thing about lowlands? And besides if you call that spot over there beyond the cornfield low lands-he broke off suddenly, what we want, my dear, are rich lands, and Kearns tells me that the soil is fine for garden ing and only needs a little ploughing. The spring rains are over and there isn't any danger of an overflow"

 Outside one of my windows where na- ture has been let alone for several years the whole place is o-'ergrown with wild kowers. It makes me very happy just 10 look at such a fresh garden so undis- turbed, until year after year 1t has al- most hidden the pathway to the door. But in my over-zealous care of my other garden I regard even a little field grass among the corn an alien.
