Avoid Effusiveness-The Direct and
Heartfelt Much More Appreciated.

The question of how to reply to a
sa~lutation, how to offer a congratula-
ton, how to condole with a casual &C.
quaintance, or in fact just what to
say IN occasions that come in every
ones experience, is often asked me.
AS a rule the less formal a remark
the better. Just a few simple words
are quite sufficient, and count for far
more than the most ornate phrase, if
the latter sound in the least stilted.
Take, for example, the question that
has lately come as to what to say
to a debutante at her reception"
Should one of the guests make a long
speech, the chances are the youthful
and already exhausted girl would not
hear half, and would become still more
embarrassed than she already is, by
consequence Of her natural fear that
she nay commit a breach without
knowing 1t, is sensible comment of
Hortense Provost, In the St. Louis
Globe-D Democrat.
But the wise woman of the world
will say, very quietly and very cor
daily: II hope your whole life may
be as charming as this beginning"
or something similar, leaving the
pleasant and satisfactory impression

A Few Words on the Fashions
The Favorite Skirt Model and the Pop
ular Blouse of the Day.

The most beautiful of summer fab
RIGS are now to be seen. Silk muslins,
painted gauzes, embroidered muslins,
soie-de-ninon, and tussore silk all fig
ure among the seasons goods. In the
more ordinary materials there are
silky alpacas, ~cashmeres, serges, lin
ems and lawns. Tussore silk of a
brownish tint, trimmed with almond
or lily-of-the valley green forms a per-
feet combination of color.
Skirts made of t~hin-textured fabrics
invariably show greater fullness than
those made of thicker material. The
cores all round skirt is much favored.
Nearly all washable skirts are gath
cred into the band at the waist, and
simply trimmed either with two or
three tucks, Or with crossway bands of
frills.
The five-gored skirt appears to be a
favorite model, 1t is made full at the
hem and is gathered becomingly to
the figure at the waist.
Lace blouses are invariably made
up over gauze or chiffon, and with
silk slips, either plain or colored, just
as fancy dictates. The lace bolero is
another covetable garment. 1t looks
simply charming trimmed with revers,
collar and cuffs which turn back at
the elbows. These are made Of lace
to match the bolero. The whole of the

GAS USED UNDER LIME KlLNs.
Innovation by Connecticut Company
Is a Success.

The New England Lime company,
of Winstead, Conn, asserts that 1t is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery Of gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
a substitute for wood, said a member
of the company, it would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no understand the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces a more intense heat, and conse-
quently increases the capacity of the
kilns. The daily output at the COM
pany'sakilns is increased from 80 bar.
rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or a total
of 700 barrels daily.

Washington, D. G., August GOTH

Washington, D. c., August 20th.-A
determined effort will be made at the
next session of congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution of common garden seeds.
Congress now expends $242,0 900 a year
in giving away the commonest varie-
ties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
100000 0 packets SO that the packets
cost about half a cent each. But as
a large part Of the appropriation is
expended in clerk hire, packeting the
seed, etc., the actual value of the
seed in a packet is much less than
half a cent. These packets are put
up in packages of five packets, the
total cost Of the packages being about
two cents each, and they are purchas-
able anywhere at five cents. Each
member of congress gets Il, 900 such
packages, which he distributes to the
voters of his district.
The farmers Jay that these pack
ages contain so little seed as to be of
AZ NdluO ~ IuSui, Mulle IHS IUldl dp-
preparation, if expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed, or
in maintaining a national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be of i'm
mense value to the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste of public money. The seeds
men claim that as congress has al
ready expended $4,000, 900 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed, it
is time it should give away saws, axes
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest.
Those who believe that congress
should cut off this ~perquisite of it's
members now used for political pur-
poses, are writing their senators and
representatives, urging them to abol-
ish the free seed distribution, and the
National Grange, many state and local
oranges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso-
lutions condemning it. Mr.. William
Wolff Smith, of Washington, D. c., has
been selected to represent the oppo-
sition to the congressional free seed
distribution, and is personally answer-
ing all inquiries concerning the same.

BoYIsH MIND WAS WORKING.
Younsster on His First Sail Over the
Raging Main"

None of us " quite forget those
days-when Il years were few-of
dreaming about life on the raging
main, when the imagination reveled
in pirates and plumber from state
ly galleons and valorous deeds done
on storm-swept decks, says a writer
in the New York Times. Recollection
of this period is, at any rate, suffi-
GENTLY vivid, so that the remark Of
a small boy could contribute maze
rally to the "gayety of nations"
among the passengers on one of the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor to
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting no pirate craft.
The passengers, escaping gladly from
the city's heat, nibbled their sand
witches and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy, just from the
Inland town, where his life so far
had been spent, sat rapt, and wide
eyed. If one coulL but know fully
the mental content" from which
sprang his words at asst!
MAI" he cried, hoarsely, tell me
which one Of 'em is the skipper!"

GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES,


1t is not generally known-not ever
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
of just what tints are best to use is,
therefore, rather hazy.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those. colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun
will protect a house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, SO far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va.
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows Qike lemon), cold greens
Cike grass green, ETC. and the blues.
1t must be understood that no viz
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead OF canned paint is used,
but If one is careful to use the best
white lead-some well-known brand
of a reliable manufacturer-and gen.
uine linseed oil, the warm tints men
toned above will outwear the same
materials tinted with the cold colors.
