Ptcturesqueness RACES among the
models Of summer millinery, the
late shapes being high and large Of
crown, with frills of net, tulle or
lace. Lace-edged ruffles and combi-
nations OF lace and straw are ia
vogue, but net pervades everything,
and one OF the newest lingerie hats
is of white net wound with bias
band Of white muslin, with large
muslin bow atop for trimming, The
DIrect0ire influence is bringing in
the poke bonnet shape and is also
responsible for the strings seen on
so many of these wide, dropping af-
fairs. Early in the season the all
black hat was conspicuous by its abb
sence, but for midsummer wear
smart importers are showing black
tulle hats trimmed around the high
crcEn with a black tulle ruche, CEN
tered with a twist Of narrow ribbon,
and a shower OF uncurled ostrich
feathers. The very latest of these
feathers have the under side dyed a
different color; as, green under
white, black under grey.
Huge hatpins are still in vogue,
though long, slender shafts are rath-
er more popular than round, fiat eff
fects, Some of these long pins are
very handsome, made of cut jade
ivory or fine jet, and there is par
ticular craze at the moment for am
Der, in which there are countless i'm
itation pins, plain, twisted, carved or
set with Rhinestones.
Silver grey is the proper color of
the moment for outdoor wear and is
charming in combination with anne

beautiful new plum purple that is
almost black save in the highest
lights, and with touches of burnt

THE JOY OF LUXOR.

There are a few places in the world
that one associates with happiness.
that one remembers always with a
smile, a little thrill at the heart that
Whispers There joy Is" OF these few
places Luxe Is one-Luxor, the home
of sunshine, the suave abode of light,
of warmth, of the sweet days of gold
and sheeny, golden sunsets; of silver
shimmering nights through which the
n of the boatmen of the Nile go
hoating to the courts and the tombs of
Thebes. The roses bloom in Luxor n
der the mighty palms. Always surely
beneath the palms are the roses. And
the lateen-sails come up the Nile, look
ing like white winged promises of fu-
ture golden days. And at dawn one
wakes with hope and hears the songs
OF the dawn; and at noon one dreams
or the happiness to come; and at sun
set n is swept away on the gold into
the heart of the golden world; and at
night n looks at the stars, and each
star Is a twinkling hope. Soft are the
airs of Luxor; there is no harshness
in the wind that stirs the leaves of
the palms. And the land Is stepped in
light. From Luxor one goes with re-
gret. One returns to II with joy on
dancing feet.-From Robert Hichens's
The Spell of Egypt" in The Century.

A young man, being asked how much
it cost to live in New York city. re-
piled; "A little more than your in

five children. the youngest a baby.

more before h day was out. A few
days later he called to see about get
ting work for the man. They were
again on the point of starving. With
the $25 the woman had bought a fine
new baby carriage. some coffee and
sugar, When the clergyman expostu-
lated she indignantly denied extrava-
gance. The children had broken the old
carriage, and it was necessary the baby
should have a daily airing. Az for the
coffee it was the first they had had in
weeks. They were accustomed to 1t and
needed it.-Appleton's Magazine for

PR|CNT7'S SLAYER
CALLS FOR WIFE
WHO SHUNS Him
Can't Believe She Will Desert
Him-Herron Practised with
Pistol, State Says.

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 1S.-Con-
tinually pleading that his wife be
brought to him, Archibald Heron, the
slayer of the Rev Samuel S. B.
Prickitt, lies in Jail awaiting trial. In
asking for his wife he mumbles con
stantly that he is confident that she
will not desert him in his trouble, and,
although the woman, has not been near
him as yet, he remains firm in his be-
lief that she will not abandon him.
1t is the belief that the slayer means
to set up the insanity plea, but when
the man is approached and questioned
as to what defense he intends to offer,
he only replies that nothing will be
done until he has seen his wife.
To his remark is usually appended,
They can't try me on this charge,
anyhow" in a tone that leads the war
den TO believe that Heron is utterly
unconscious as to just how near he
may be the electric chair. The State
has evidence to show Heron had prac-
tised with a revolver for five months,
and 1t is with this that they expect to
break down any insanity plea.
