The Dainty Summer Girl.

The spic and span girl this sum-
mer certainly will have large laundry
bills, for never before have SO many
accessories to the summer outfits been
launderable. Collars and cuffs or
starched vests are features Of all the
new coats, and these must be i'm
maculately fresh and crisp to he pref
ty. The front of every suit shows a
more or less fluffy jaBot, and these
need frequent laundering. Cream
coIored linen vests in lighter shade
than the suit color are a feature of
the new linen suits. Even gloves be-
long to the enlarged fist Of summer
launderables. for Isle gloves are
worn already. and washable chamois
gloves in tan, white and the natural
color are among the prettiest of the
seasons accessories. The new striped
collar has become too common for the

PARAsoL HANDLES VERY RICH.
Precious Metals, Fashioned Into Beau.
tiful Shapes, Employed.

The variety and beauty Of parasol
handles for girl who can afford to
buy without considering the cost par
ticularly seem never to have been SO
great as this season. Not only are
precious metals employed. but miner
ais. we'll nigh as priceless are worked
into most beautiful. II simple. shapes.
Ivory Is carved with, the delicacy and
grace OF fairy work, while woods, nat
ural and treated. are wrought into
things OF beauty. Best of all, the
styles between those suited to a girl
and an older woman are so strictly
defined that there is no danger of the
former being suspected of having bor-
rowed her mothers. Those for the
latter are ornate. while for girls they
are simple in their elegance.
Jade. that valuable Japanese stone.
is to be enormously fashionable this
summer, whenever 1t can be employed,
and 1t Is to be seen for parasols treat
ed in many different ways. One de-
sign is simply long. graceful. pear
shaped knob. its beauty due solely to
the shading and translucency of the
stone and the grace of form. An elab-
grafton of this. which might be car
ried by a girl of IS, has the handle
sprinkled with the tiniest of diamonds,
deeply inset, and there are gold tips to
finish the frame ribs, as well as a gold
clasp for the strap. These sets of rib
tips. either in gold, silver or ivory.
with clasps to correspond. are now
considered an inseparable part Of
parasOl mountings and are purchased
with the handles. The tips are quite
unornamented and. while not small,
cannot be called large.
Some long. slender crooks are cut
from jade. and less expensive, but
truly charming, are handles cut from
carnelian and various agates.
These show most exquisite shadings
and are particularly suited to cover
ings of silks In solid colors. the
shades. of course. matching the
handle.
Copper, beaten and worked In most
artistic forms. is a novelty of the sea-
son. The metal treated with acids
becomes mass Of dull yet gorgeous
green's and blues. and so-called pea
cock eyes" are sunk in for additional
ornament One handle shows this
gorgeous bird, the lines, for convent
ence' sake. being made longer and
more slender. The tail is enameled in
dull shades, and the bird is mounted
ON an unpublished stick Of oiled cedar.
In other handles the copper is mere
ly twisted, bent or chased. but the
dull shading always obtains. The de-
signs are not heavy In the hand. as the
forms are followed.

THE STORY.

tMY MASTER. we needs must fee
U4lest the king OF Syria catch thee
as a bird in a snare" exclaimed the
servant of Elisha one day as he rushed
into the presence of the prophet. The
young man was all out of breath with
his running, and in broken sentences
he went on to explain how he had
CHANGED to be passing through the
city's gate as two strangers had en-
tered and had overheard them ques.
tiOning those standing in the market
place as to whether Elisha the prophet
had come thither. saying that they
had important tiGings for him, and
when they had received an Affirmative
reply. they made as though they would
search thee cut in the city. and then
by another route they passed out of
the city and fastened ayay.
And why thinkest thou that they
were emissaries of the Syrians?'
asked the prophet, calmly.
Did not l follow them. and noting
that they were making for the outer
gate to the city. l fastened thither,
and from a place of concealment near
the gate I overheard them say as
they passed cut that Syria's army
would not be long in sweeping down
upon the city. But We have time to
fee ere they GOMEZ" exclaimed the
young man, his voice trembling in
fear.
Nay" rejoined the prophet. I'M
moved, the Lord sent US to DOthan
and here we shall remain till he bids
us go. Cannot God save us from even
the might army of Syria?'
"Yes," reluctantly admitted the
young man, his fears not by any
means dispelled; but how. If we :e-
main here while the army descercs
upon the city? The people Of tine place
will deliver thee into the hands of the
Syrians to save themselves, and thou
knowest how that the Syrian general
has sworn that he will have thy life
for the many times thou hast dei.v-
cred the king of Israel out of his
hands. 1t is for thee that he has been
searching the land, and if he come
thither how can thou hoi e to escape?"
God will provide way" was tie
response, and the prophet re-
sumed his reading out of the scroll he
held in his hand, and his servant
turned dejectedly away. He was too
loyal a follower Of the prophet to flee
from him. II he was to perish. he
would perish with him, but he felt GER
tain that to remain IN Dothan meant
to certainly fall into the hands of the
Syrians.

master away" thought the young man
to himself as the afternoon wore away;

But the prophet remained busy with

would do aught but remain where he
was. The young man watched him

girl came over. She said that she

MILK AN EXCELLENT COSMETIC.
Can Be Used in Many Ways 70 Very
Good Advantage.

Milk Is a cosmetic that women OF
to-day would do well to include in
their list Of complexion washes.
For example, when a woman is very
tired and her face has been exposed
to the sun and wind one of the best
lotions she can use Is q hot milk com
press. Fer this purpose the milk
hot-should be put into basin, and
then two soft pieces of muslin. large
enough to cover the face. should be
placed in the liquid. When these
cloths are saturated with milk that is
as hot as the hand can endure, the
woman should lie down and spread
the congresses over her face. These
should remain ON until the cloths have
cooled.
The muslin should not be wruns
any dryer than is necessary to prevent
a stream Of milk from running down,
and as rapidly as one cools another
warm compress must be applied.
This treatment should continue for
ten minutes. the final cloth being left
on as long as one has time to spare.
On getting up the face should be
wiped with a soft cloth, damp with;
water. and then thoroughly dried. Az
ter this treatment the skin will be
found soft and white. with none Of the:
dull or hard look that comes from ex-
posture.
The milk bath for the whole body.
despite the ridicule attached to 1t, is
beneficial and has the added merit of
being inexpensive.
When preparing these baths rich
quality Of fluid is desirable. because.
of the extra amount Of cream. But
SKINNED milk is effective. too. For
an ordinary tub anywhere from six
quarts to three gallons may be used.

full to the nerves. II this and milk
applications to the face are made
every other day, improvement In the
general locks cannot fail.
For those who can afford it, sweet
cream may be constantly applied. Only
a very small quantity should be used,
at time. for the instant it becomes
sour not only ia its virtue gone, but
there is danger Of injuring the skin,
A simple preservative when cream Is
employed as a cosmetic is b0racic

Il tell you love can't stand much

that ever peeped out of the soft lap
of creation. and In laughter II there 10
no sympathy there's frost. When q
Teller stops lovin' he sees more than
he did before and yet he is binder.
He sees more in other folks, but sees
that they amt like the one he loved.
And the reason that SO few people
marry first love is because that sort
of love takes hold as if it wanted to

will satisfy it. There's no use tryin'
to dodge it, boys; thief in the night

the Oldest thing in the world. but
it is SO new that nobody knows yet

they do you may know that they amt
