. Linen carries with It an air Of re-
fnement and quality which places it
at once above. the mediocrity of other
washing fabrics. Until within a few
years it was considered very choice
and held at prices which debarred the
small purse. But this year we find ex-
cellent qualities of this same material
at prices within the reach Of all. A
very smart shirtwaist gown Of linen is
shown which has won many admirers.
The panel effect in waist and skirt is
very chic and becoming, while the
sleeves in three-quarter length and butt
toned over on the upper side are very
smart. The tucks give excellent lines
to the back and extra fulness to the
front. A tuck at each side Of the
front. panel ends below the hip. The
skirt is circular with the straight front
panel and proves unusually graceful,
Linen, rajah, pongee, silk or madras
may serve as material. For the ME.

Why Women Are Creatures of Limitations
BY POLLY PENN.

y Why, gentle reader, is woman the
faulty creature that she is, prone to
limitations. and furnishing the joke
monger with eternal material for his
gibes and jests7 .s:.a
The answer is easy. It is because
men like her better so. -.se
While women are laboring with tears
and groans to make men better, and
nightly addressing Providence in the
interest of some one man in particular,
men are very well satisfied with women
as they are.
You never hear of societies of faith.

1t is doubtful if any man and broth

club with the. avowed purpose of di-

and Turing them by brotherly wiles
into the right paths.

that the engaged man implores heaven

No, the truth is that man is moi

women are concerned. Either he thinks
she is already perfect, as he probably
does if he is newly engaged to her, o.
else her very limitations are the thing.

A man can never be too noble, tot

wants him to be. She agonizes ovel

MRS. GoEI.ET,s BoNBoNs

Mrs. Robert Goelet has genius for
making bonbons and some Of her own
invention are most delectable and she
serves them with afternoon tea. They
are Of an exceedingly simple nature
and may be easily made.
One Of her most successful recipes
is as follows:
Maple sugar cream which is sold at
all frst-class groceries is. the chief in
gredient, fresh cream and little but.
ter, and any kind Of nuts one may
fancy, are the remaining things needed
The maple cream, which is like
grated maple sugar, and the same bulk
Of butter, with half cup Of cream
are melted till hot. The nuts, almonds
walnuts, pecans or what one wills, are
then dipped into the hot concoction
several times and then laid out on 8
paper to dry and cool. They are very
delicious.

they raise hands and voices in protest
when she sets about getting rid of them
herself. Does not the average man
shudder violently at the mere sugges-
ton of what we call the ''modern -
woman? It pains him to think of a.
feminine creature so keen, so capable,
So strong and .resourceful that she can
earn her own living, fight her own bat
ties, and find her own content, regard
less of him. --...
If put to it, he will acknowledge that
1t is very excellent thing for a.
woman to know how to earn her own
living, because she SO often has to do
it. And he will not deny that he adj
mires the qualities of .resourcefulness
and pluck in the abstract; nor that it
is sometimes good thing she knows
how to make herself happy, since he
does not always feel like doing it.
But admirable as all these qualities
may be in the abstract, and vital as
he may, think them for the develop
ment of a well-rounded character, when
it comes right down to the concrete
example, namely, the woman he loves,
he has no use for them whatever.
The plain truth is that he desires not
| the perfect woman. He desires the
| woman most gratifying to himself.
Her weakness, her alteration, her de-
pendence on him, her limited vision
that the more exalts his broad vision,
in short, all those distinctively "fem-
mime" traits which tend to emphasize
his own strength and superiority and
her weakness and inferiority, are the
things that make woman most pleas
| ing to the average mani
We say not, gentle reader, that this
| is because of his selfshness or vanity,
It is as he is made. The perfection of
the womanly character matters infn-
itely less to him than his own comfort
and qualification.
In the abstract, woman may go ahead
and sprout all the fine, strong, capable
characteristics Providence has planted
in her nature.
But in the concrete he prefers hel
] with her limitations!
And as it is in the concrete that man
deals with woman, it is likely she will
toll on encountered with her faults
for many, many moons to come.

TO MOLD YOUNG HUSBANDS .

A great many bridegrooms are like
the excellent jelly that some good
housewives know SO well how to make !;
it is only when they begin to grow
cold that they become set. in their
ways, writes Tom Mason in Good
Housekeeping. It is always nice, there
fore, for the bride to remember this,
and while there is yet time, to mold
him into the proper form for future
keeping.
As a rule, young husbands are easily
domesticated. "A certain amount OF
frmness, vigilance and care to see that
they are properly fed is all that is
necessary.
The very ease with which they are
controlled is, however, an obstacle in
the way Of the bride. She becomes
over-confident; her caution leaves her
and then, before she realizes the dan
ger, her hitherto willing subject is be
ginning TO get too uneasy.
And yet we are not sure that if she
knew more, the bride would be as eff
fective as she really is; for, after all
it is in the incompetence of our bride.
that ourshope for the future lies.

HARVARD'S SPEED
MAY CHANGE BETTING

PUTNEY. England. August 20.-The Har.
ward crew gave the Englishmen another
rude shock yesterday afternoon by rowing
over the course from Putney to Mortlake In
10 minutes As seconds. The time is con-
sidered very fast. although the conditions
were very favorable with the tide running
strongly and the wind favoring the crew
most OF the way.
The course is so crooked, however. that
the wind hindered the crew part Of the
way. The time row was q q most remark
able one. when 1t Is remembered that Nor
gan has been rowing only since Saturday.
after q slight attack Of ptomaine poisoning.
and that Richardson has been in the boat
only the same length Of time. after being
out with tonsilitis for ten days.
The times at various points along the
course were as follows: The first mile
was taken In Am. 35s.: Hammersmith
bridge. about one and three-quarters miles
from the start, was reached In I'm. 5Ss.
Chiswick Church. bit short Of three miles.
in I'm. 1885,: Barnes Bridge about the
four-mile mark, in 16m. 49,, and the Ship
opposite the finish line. In ION. ASS. Had
the crew rowed hard all the way 1t could
easily have taken forty-flve seconds from
It's time. When the time was announced
all of the Engiishmen at the finish were
astounded.
1t Is thought here today that the bet
ting odds, which have hitherto favored
c. mbridge. will favor Harvard. Thousands
saw Harvard row and they applauded the
Americans very enthusiastically along the
line.
Cambridge rowed twice, hard both times
but did nothing out Of the ordinary.

WEIGHT RECORDS
ARE REJECTED

NEW YORK. August 29.-The weight
throwing records made recently by John
Flanagan and Dennis Horgan have been
rejected by the A. A. u. authorities after
an investigation. On Saturday last at Gel
tic Park Morgan sent q 28-pound chunk Of
iron a distance Of IS feet AZ inches. which
wiped out all former records. Attention
was directed to the performance. there be-
ing a report that the weight was light. and
it proved correct. for when the weight was
placed on a scales yesterday 1t was found
to be short by a third Of an ounce 1t
weighed 81 pounds Is ounces 1873 grains.
Therefore Horgan loses the record. On
Sunday at the same place Flanagan threw
the 56-pound weight, unlimited run and
follow. using the two hands, 43 feet inches.
but when the weight was tested 1t was q
shade over seven ounces short. 1t weighed
exactly IS pounds ounces 1877 grains.
James e. Sullivan. chairman OF the rec
ord committee, had the weights weighed,
and he said that In future offlcials at games
will have to be more careful. From now
on the weights will have to be weighed IN
a tested scales before the performance be-
gins and If this rule Is not adopted no heed
will be paid to the claims for records.
The discus used by Martin Sheridan last
Sunday when he made a throw of 134 feet
1 inches was tested and found to be cor
rect. This record will go on the books.
