PRETTY IDEAS IN TRIMMING.
Narrow FrilIs of Mousseline and Lace
Are Much Used.

trimming idea exploited upon
some of the prettiest frocks in silk
mousseline and similar sheer stuffs
and expressing the tendency toward
frills and furbelows was a feature of
one of the silk coats and mousseline
skirt frocks which figure among the
cuts. Alternate narrow frills of valen-
ciennes lace and mousseline cover
the skirt to line above the knees and
the sleeves, which are left visible by
the sleeveless casaque, are also COM
posed of alternating frills of nous
seine and of lace.
Tiny frills of soft ribbon trim many
sheer frocks, the ribbon being used in
profusion, and countless narrow bands
of ribbon laid on fiat are also popu-
lar trimming for the summer frock
One sees, too, as in the case Of
the ruched silk casaque and NOUS
seine skirt model, wide full ruches of
sheer material edged with narrow rib
bon in satin or velvet, used as the bot
tom trimming for skirts of the sheer
fabric In this particular instance the
skirt was of mousseline and the mar
row edge was of silk, matching the
little bolero.

PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
Surveyor Tells of Experience He Does
Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to monster bear
and try to shove it out of the way and
then escape without so much as a
scratch is an experience of lifetime.
Harry l Engelbright found it so few
days ago in Diamond canyon, above
respondent of the Sacramento Bee.
The young man, son of Congressman
Engelbright, has just returned from
the upper country, where he has been
doing some surveying, and relates his
thrilling experience. 1t was coming
on dusk, at the close of the days work.
In the brush-lined trail he saw pro-
truding what he thought were the
hind quarters of some stray bovine,
He walked up and gave the brute a
shove. 1t came to its launches with
a snort that made his hair rise and
caused him to beat hasty retreat.
The big brute looked around and then
shuftied off into the woods. 1t was
either asleep or else so busy eating
ants from an old log that it failed to
hear the young surveyor. whose foot
steps were deadened by the thick car
pet of pine needles. Later it was
learned that the same bear, a monster
cinnamon, had killed dog earlier in
the day. The dog ventured too close
and with one blow of its paw the big
beast sent 1t hurtling yards away.

SILK Ties Generally Best with the EN-
broioered Collars.

There are many varieties of jaunty
little silk ties offered for wear with
the embroidered collars, but the
smartest thing to use with such col
lar is some form of lingerie tie or bow.
These, when fine enough to be desir-
able, are too expensive to become COM
mon, and the coarse limitations of
them are hopelessly ugly and tawdry.
Ii one cannot afford a really dainty
lingerie tie or bow or rabat it is far
better to hold to silk tie

widening toward the ends and beauti-,
fully embroidered at those ends, is one,
OF the popular arrangements for wear
with the linen collar. 1t is doubled
SO that one embroidered end falls just
below the other, and the folded middle

the two sides of the collar and holding

collar pins of the kind so much used
for collar and cuff sets are also used.

SWEEPING AND BUSTING.

A recent medical convention in Eng
land has not considered it beneath
professional dignity to give house
keepers and maids some general d.
rections when 1t comes to houseclean-
ing.
Unhygienic ways of sweeping and
busting are -unquestionably RESPONSE
BILE for many different illnesses, for
germs are in dust and dirt.
To prevent making great dust In
sweeping use moist sawdust on bare
floors. When the room is carpeted
moisten a newspaper and tear it into
small scraps and scatter upon the car
pet when you begin sweeping.
AS you sweep brush the papers along
by the broom; they will catch most OF
the dust and hold it fast, just as the
sawdust does on bare floors.
In busting room do not use a
feather buster, because this does not
remove the dust from the room, but
only brushes it into the air. Use soft.
dry cloths to dust with, and shake
them frequently out of the window, or
use slightly moistened cloths and rinse
them out in water when you have fin.

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. 5ascomb's In.
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road the young woman spoke OF him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know 1t, "
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived. but most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An

China Tea Parties,

One of the latest attractions of the
afternoon tea party is expressed in the
invitation sent out by the hostess.
Bring with you any piece of china
about the origin of which you feel du-
bious." The guests arrive bearing in
their arms some pet piece of pottery
that they have long ago imagined to
be of value, though without any def
mite reason for their belief, or some
interesting trifie that may or may not
be of great worth.
An expert in china is hidden to the
party and the possessor of each piece
is told exactly of what make the curio
is and of what value. Great disap-
pointment and, on the other hand,
exceeding joy are melted out by the
judgments uttered in each case.

When the war Of the rebellion BE-
gan, and the erstwhile secretary Of
war became the executive head of the
confederacy, the name Of Jefferson
Davis was chiseled of this tablet,
and to-day a glazing blank occupies
the space.
AS sectional prejudice has disap-
peared, this little expression of ami
mostly has been regretted by many
who approved and who might have
cheered the deed at the time of its
commission. More than once replac.
ing the name has been suggested.
A few days ago the president re.
ceived a letter on the subject from
Walter P. Phillips of Bridgeport,
Conn, and this document he referred
to the war department.
This is the first time the agitation
has been put into any definite and
official form, and it is believed steps
may soon be taken to restore the
tablet to something resembling It's
former self.

Cause Of Wrinkles,

A person may have hair nearly or
quite white, but IL the skin is fair and
smooth they will look prematurely
gray. You do not hear of people be-
ing prematurely wrinkled, although
many are, yet they are spoken of as
looking old. Many young people have
a disagreeable habit of scowling and
frowning, and as they grow older the
creases formed will become fixed. Pro-
found meditation, deep study, worry,
and anxiety all cause wrinkles in the
upper part Of the face. or course
we know a face without any lines
would be expressionless, but there is
little danger of any effort on our
part erasing too many The skin in
youth not only is firm but elastic.
Hence the momentary expressions.
even If frequently repeated, disap-
paer In later years the elasticity is
lost, and expressions oft repeated
form permanent folds in the skin

G ECRETARIES CORTELYOU and

for fine quarrel. Some time ago

accounts without swearing to their
accuracy and truth.

the treasury, who passes on all ques-

of money, and George B. Cortelyou, his
official superior, think otherwise. They
think the jurat is necessary because
they believe the law requires vertical
tion under oath.
Tracewell and Cortelyou have put
out new method of accounting for
money disbursed by the government,
in which they set aside the Garfield
regulation without mentioning 1t or
