AN IMAGINARY ATTACK MADE

Invasion n Surprise 90 Men at Forts
and Public-ReDresentative

on Saturday evening the river forts
repulse5 and sank. theoretically. an
imaginary feet attacking Washington.
The invasion, which was arranged on
request OF Representative John A. T.
Huh. CT Iowa. chairman OF the House
Committee on Military Affairs. was to-
tally unexpected. and a surprise not only
to the men on duty at the forts. but to
the public
Its purpose was 10 test the equipments
Of the fort and 10 see how the men and
officers would act in case Of an unex-
pected attack by an enemy, a sudden call
10 arms, and quick manning OF the
guns
Representative Hull and a party OF
half a hundred men and women went
down 70 Fort Washington early in the
evening on the new mine-planteT. General
Mills, and witnessed the imaginary
battle. In the party were the members
OK the Military Committee, who were IN
town. the Iowa delegation in Congress,
Senator CUmmins. and Dr. Foster, OF
Illinois.
Col. Coffin and Lieut.. Ferreu were IN
command OF the defenses. The enemy's
feet consisted OF the Alonzo II. Cushing, a
tug, and the yacht Oneida, OF the Dis
trict Naval Reservee.
After the bloodless victory the party.
under the protection OF Col Cofin. made
the round OF the batteries and inspected
the guns, and afterward returned to the
colonels quarters, where they met Mrs.
Coffin and partook of the coloneTs hos
pitality.
At midnight they board "a the General
Mills and returned TO wa ishington.

Wells FOR THE SUMNER GIRL

This season marks a great step IN the
development OF wells. for as manufac-
turers make materials OF more fairy
dlmsiness the possibilities OF these envel-
Oping shrouds are greatly extended.
The motor. too. has done its part to-
ward ven invention. and when Paris in
troduced. two years ago, the wide. full
veil, measuring a yard IN width and
Three yards IN length. surely the amplest
dimensions were realized. says the Chi
cagO RecOrd-Herald.
With this veil at hand madame was
prepared for all emergencies. It covered
the most exaggerated OF hats. It protected
the coiffCre even IN the most furious Of
storms, yet 1t was becoming, easy 70 put
on, and usable as a scarf when the
weather made a veil unnecessary
But It seems that even this was not
enough, for now we find a chiffon hood
deliberately braided and trimmed with fine
Quillings. ard even decorated with buttons
and tassels. In future we may look for
nothing more elaborate. yet the genius for
the designers has accustomed US 70 seem
lngly impossible fights OF fancy.
The hood is Of pale pink chiffon,
finished at either end with pink
fringe heavy enough TO keep the
ends In place when the hood IS worn
Around the face there is brand OF braid
ing done in narrow soutache, and this
band is held in place by a line Of tiny
quilting sewed on either side. Where the
bral6ing and the trimmings stop on both
sides there are covered buttons holding
long silk tassels. This hood is delightful
for summer evenings. but IL Is still more
desirable on windy days in the automo-
bile, when big hat is worn. The hat
IS gray straw. trimmed with feather
shading from rose 10 palest pink
The wide chiffon veil, with cOlored bor-
der and embroidered dots. IS a develop
ment q one Of the huge French wells
just mentioned. The chiffon is OF light
blue. while the dots and the stripe around
the veil ara both in a darker shade.
Lace wells are still worn and are stiu
popular with many women for a very
light hat Sometimes they are arranged
loosely. so the border IS in plain view
and shown 70 the best advantage: but
for shopping Paris now commands that
they be worn close TO the face. so they
are caught and firmly pinned 70 the back.
10 give the face that extremely pale look
which is affected by some women.

THE OPTIMIST COLUMN.
Thoughts ON Gratitude.


Contributions By the Members q The Washington
Herald OptHiist Club
BY THE OPTIMsT.
In inaugurating the special summer fea-
ture OF The Washington Herald Optimist
Club, in fulhlIment OF the announcement
made on Wednesday last. and repeated in
the Sunday talk. I want TO say just one
word Of welcome and TO express my ap-
probation OF the hearty manner IN which
the club members having taken rold OF
this idea. An optimist is one who has
not yet lost his enthusiasms-in fact, he Is
the kind Of person who IS apt never TO lose
them NJ all. and when new idea that
is useful or helpful comes along you viii
find him marching abreast OF it-right IN
the front rank with the leaders.
Gratitude" has been chosen as the
topic for discussion next Sunday and
the contributions have been coming in
ever since the announcement was first
made on Wednesday. Those which were
received early last week viii have the
honor Of appearing to-day IN the first
daily column. with others 10 follow all
during the week. Those printed to-day
and tomorrow and the rest Of the week
will have an equal chance for winning
the prizes with those which do not appear
until sunday.
I want to head the selections to-day
with a quotation from Mrs. Browning
as follows:
7 praise Thee while my days 90 on:
! love Thee while nay days g ors
Through dark ard dc2rth. through hre ard frost
With empted arms and treasure lost.
thank Thee while my days g. on.
And having Ia Thy lhe-depth thrown

smiling-so l. TEy days 60
The following contributions on grati-
tude have been received from club
members and are selected Tor to-day,
with the hope that the daily Optinist
column will prove as helpful and as at
tractive 20 the members as have our
weekly offerings:
As gratitude is a necessary and a glO-
rious, so also IS il an obvious, a cheap,
and an easy virtue: so obvious that wher-
ever there is life there Is place for q; so
cheap that the covetoUs man may be
gratlhed without expense. and so easy
that the sluggard may be so without
labor.-Senecs. LAURA v. ALLEN.

Another thing the library reader has
often expressed a hope for Is that IN htnd-
ing magazines which have no annual IN
dex and which are not indexed IN the
annual periodical indexes. Indexes % the
several numbers OF a volume might be
grouped together at one place IN the vol
ume. This practice IS not now generally
followed Many a man las expressed the
wish that some one would undertake 70
form an index Of the important matters
q a group of leading newspapers Some
OF the best contributions 70 the general
fund OF information that have been nada
have been used IN the newspapers. and
yet there IS no index by which they can
be located. The London Times gets out
its monthly index almost before tie
month IS ended and SIS annual index FOL
lows closely on the heels 0f the New Year
Yet not a single American newspaper, 50
far as the Library OF Congress has fnfOr-
nation. has indexed its contents for 1877.
The preferences OF children 81 selecting
their reading matter IS always an inter
esting investigation. and what IS the most
called-f0r book IN one library Is not IN
much demand il another. Recently the
