The walking costumes worn by the
smartest women for morning and for

type, with coats varying in length
from hip to ankle length, with coat
sleeves of wrist length, the coats be-
ing either semi-fitting, three-quarter,
or close fitting, although compare
lively few of the latter are seen in
practical costumes. Plain goods of in
visible mixtures are the favorites, and
the only trimming is bands of the ma.

HER BREAD UPON THE WATERS,
Little Edna Did as Sunday School
Teacher Directed.

1t was summertime, and Mr. and
Mrs. Girvan had established them
selves as summer boarders on large
farm, so that their only child, Edna,
might have a long-cherished wish re-
allied
Little six-year-old Edna had heard
people talk of farms and farm life, and
she had teased her parents to take her
to the real country" where they have
cows, horses, chickens, and where the
men dig potatoes. They arrived there
Saturday, and the following day Edna
was placed in the village Sunday
school.
She said nothing about 1t on her
return home, and her parents had no
reason for thinking that their little
girl had learned practical lesson;
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs to feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and few moments
later her mother, glancing out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their
necks far out into the water to get the
feed. She meant to ask Edna why she
did it, but the incident passed out of
her mind.
A few days later Edna's father had
occasion to go to the city, and when
he returned he brought home hand
some locket and chain for his little
girl, it being intended as a surprise
from her father and mother; but Edna,
while plainly showing she was de.
lighted at receiving the gift, showed
no surprise whatever, but accepted it
in a cool, matter-of-fact manner.
Both her father and mother noticed
this with surprise, and were keenly
disappointed. Finally her mother said
to Edna: But isn't my little girl sur
prised to receive so beautiful gift
from papa and mamma?" mo-" little
Edna replied, "the golden text of the
Sunday school lesson on Sunday was:
Cast thy bread upon the waters, for
thou shalt find it after many days.
And when you sent me to feed the lit
tie chickens, every day 1 did 'casted'
the bread on the water, and so 1
's'pected' something; my teacher
'splained it that way"

Prize Collection of Flaos.

AS complete a collection of flags
and emblems as can be found any-
where in the world perhaps is con-
tanned in room on the fifteenth floor
OF the Waldorf-Astoria known as the
flag room. The collection was started
by Manager Boldt years ago and fire.
quent additions have been made so
that now it contains every flag in the
world, including the various special
flags anc banners of the different
countries and ensigns of all kinds
which the eye might see in a tour of
the globe. There are hundreds and
hundreds If flags in the room. all
catalogued as one would catalogue
the books in library. Manager Boldt
values the collection at $4,000. The
idea of course in having such a collec-
tion was to use the flags for decora-
tive purposes. Should any notable
guest arrive the hotel would be able
to run up his flag at moments no.
tice, no matter from what and he
might come, even to the SosSh Sea
isles.-N. Y. Sun.

An Accomplished DueIist.

There is something very fascinating
to one accustomed to the somewhat
even and prosaic tenor of the English
public life to gaze on man who has
seen such vicissitudes as the present
prime minister of France, M Georges
Clemenceau. He was but a boy dur
ing the Empire, when he was exiled;
he spent four years in America
which is the reason why he speaks
English SO perfectly Then think of
what he has gone through since; to
every man who challenged him he
sent an acceptance, and dozen, per-
haps score, of times he has taken his
life in his hands and looked into the
barrel of a revolver or at the sword of
an opponent who had for him all the
deadly hate of political animosity, and
especially in country like France,
where religion and classes, as well as
fierce personal ambition, divide men

Working for Him.

About four miles out of Selma Ala,

mule team and loaded wagon were
stuck fast in a mudhole in the road.
The mules were nodding in sleep, and
the driver lay on the grass by the
roadside with his hat over his face.
'Here-are you the man who runs
this OUTFIT" l asked as l dismounted
from my horse.
'I'ze de pusson, sah," he replied, as
he sat up.

At the largest wedding of the week,

were marked by extreme simplicity
of line and delicacy of embroidery,

In millinery the season so far shows
the predominance of fancy and made
feathers to the standard ostrich and
bird of paradise plumes, and the use
of masses of richest red and other
deep-toned roses.
The single rose, or perhaps two, at
the base of a single ostrich plume, is
still seen on a few hats, but it is

chiffon velvet on velvet silk hats are

deeper to paler shades of the same

use of bows with three loops and one
