SOME OF THE FINE POINTS OP ~
HKggg
°l 'he dress goods or other more
ornamental material are arranged to stand out
over the tops of sleeves m epaulette fashion
Breakfast and matinee jackets cannot be loo
lavishly ornamented with iaces and ribbons,
Their fabrics are simple Summer silks, China
silks, primed or plain, pongees, daintc wash
fabrics, mull, dimity, cotton, crepes or organ
dies.
Mutinies hanging full and free from the
nc ck and shoulders are stylishly made ot
accordion-plaited for goods, with unplaited goods
sleeves and many ribbons and laces about
the tops,
The linen collars shown in the shop* for
women’s wear include many eccentric shapes,
but a certain conservatism in such matters is
wise.
Slocks are still worn, but ncck-ties of bias
silk, neatly hemmed, folded and tied, are most
admired.
Little rosettes of ribbon or of bias silk are
set close together down the left side-fronts of
waists that close there. They are as easily
removed and replaced for the* laundry as are
ribbons from night-gowns and corset-covers,
Bo few waists close squarely in front this
season that anything pretty and convenient
concealing the fastening is duly valued.
Illusion in phssd or full box plaitings is
largely used in place of chiffon for throat and
Tucked Liberty silk in white or pale hues
is a favorite top to waists of thicker goods
filling in the yoke.
Many of the gowns for Autumnal bridal
trosseaui are provided with long, much-ruffled
or lace trimmed Marie Antoinette capes of the
dress goods. The material must be soft and
flexible.
In the flowered organdies Nature Is usually
Copied in the form and tone of the blossoms,
white and tinted grounds bringing out the
designs in clear relief. Impressionist floral
designs are primed upon the gauzy organdies,
with artistic results. In a representative
specimen wild-rose blossoms and foliage are
suggested on a white ground which assumes
a greenish tinge from the foliage printing.—
From The Delineator.
FAFF!ION’S FANCIES.
The economical woman with a thought for
uture needs will include among her woollen
towns one at least that may be worn in early
Autumn. Such a gown may be made of
navy-blue canvas in a rather bright shade
with squares or stripes of white silk. Both
the squares and stripes vary, the former in
size and the latter in the width of their inter¬
vals. These gowns may be heightened by
any sort of trimming.
Cool travelling costumes are made of open
canvas weaves in illuminated or neutral color
mixtures resembling cheviots. Devoted to
the same purpose are cheviots and tweeds in
Summer weights.
Practical suits for mountain climling and
rough country walking are also made of these
Scotch goods in color mixtures which do not
readily show dust.
The flow of lace from the wrists is a fashion
so generally followed as to be almost uni
ve ™“
The newest . cuffs _ are of ...... novel outline and
flare over the har.d.
A gray fancy straw Amozon hat is trimmed
with a large bow ol twisted loops of gray
white taffeta ribbon. At each side a light
gray ostrich plume is laid over the brim und
at the buck are fixed pink roses.
Deep Houncings in forty-tive-inch widths
in point gaze, Chantilly and other laces aro
conspicuous among Summer garnitures. They
are hung over the skirts of silk dancing
gowns in flowing folds or in sun-plaits.
An exceedingly pretty point gaze flounce is
made with a deep plaiting at the bottom.
The newest importations of Chantilly lace
recall the elegant black thread laces of a
former vogue. They may be had in many
widths and are available for various decora¬
tive purposes.
A pretty toque is of black net plaited with
narrow black satin s^iw braid. Two pear
shaped pearl pins in a setting of Rhinestones
are thrust through the hat at the right side

of liny spangled and plain black tips described

the right side is a pompon of black tioL—From

JACK’S "DOUBLE PLAY. 99
•--w A
HU Presence of Mtud Cart HI. Father a
Check For the Doctor.
A graduate of UnioH college tells
this story: There was in college
with him a young man who, being
accustomed to take frequent trips
to New York, on one of these ex
cursions was embarrassed by seeing
fatlrer approaching him. In a
moment he resolved to play the
P»rt of his own double. His father,
lnnlrina accosted * A , him •
"’“‘h Well, Jack, what are you
doing here!" * i
With great dignity the culprit
ro.Uia.1 “T E y 'I pardon, .,, sir, .
’
, but you have evidently mistaken the
person, I I
. t Why Jack, what do you mean? » »
i l Excuse me, sir, but I do not care
to be interrupted in this manner by
a stranger, ” and he turned abruptly
and walked quickly away. His
father stood confused for a moment
and then immediately setoff for the
Grand Central depot to catch the
! train for Schenectady and prove
that Jack was an impostor. But
Jack quickly guessed his object and,
reaching the depot, caught the
i same train, but for safety settled
himself in the baggage car. When
the nervous ride was over and the
1 train stopped at Schenectady, the
persecuted youth ran up to the col
' le 8 eat a H l> nater « gait awl, burst
in g into bis room, said to his room¬
| mate, “Get me in bed quick; the
0 id I)lnu w j]i p e here in a minute! i»
Jack was soon in bed, with a wet
cloth around his head, his face
powdered, a teacup with broken
saucer and a. spoon for medicine,
while his roommate was sitting at
his bedside with a Shakespeare in
his hand.
Soon the old gentleman came up
stairs and, with a noisy knock,
thundered out as soon as the door
was opened, “Where’s Jack? »»
41 Hushl Did you get my tele
gram ? » »
4 4 Telegram! r What telegram? 21
4 4 Why, about Jack’s sickness. He
has been very ill. >»
Just then Jack opened his eyes
and said faintly, “Is that you,
father ?” and then a moment later
added, "This young man has been
very kind to me, father, I I With a
look of bewilderment the ok' man
said, “Is there anything I can do
for you, my poor boy ?” and, taking
out his checkbook, he left some¬
thing to cover the expenses of sick¬
ness. He then retired to pick up
the thread of business dropped in
the city, feeling convinced that he
had met Jack's double.—New York

really crowded, for each individual
would have four times the space
taken by each person in New York

How “Mr. Oglethorpe” Wm Feasted,
While the colony refreshed them¬
selves there (Beaufort town) Mr.
Oglethorpe went up the river and
chose a situation for a town and en
tered into a treaty with Tomochi
chi, the mieco, or chief, of the only
nation of Indians living near it. He
roturned on the twenty-fourth day,
and they , lebrated the Sunday fol
lowing as a day of thanksgiving for
their safe arrival, and a Bermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr. Jones, the
Rev. Dr. Herbert, who came with
the colony, preaching that day at
Beaufort town. There was a great
resort of the gentlemen of that
neighborhood and their families
and a plentiful dinner provided for
the colony and all that came by Mr.
Oglethorpe, there being four fat
hogs, eight turkeys, besides fowls,
English beef and other provisions,
a hogshead of punch, a hogshead of
beer and a large quantity of wine,
and all was disposed in so regular a
manner that no person was drunk

Have Americans Any Social Standards?
Foreigners are always puzzled by
our lack of social standards. Our
country is so vast and complex that
they never see it whole. They are
always trying to find out who sets
the pace tor American life, and they
can discover no order of precedence,
no rank in occupation, no dominant
city. We have been gradually work¬
ing into this state ot affairs. We
were not democratic when the Dec¬
laration of Independence was signed
nor when Washington took the oath
as president.
Many people have the idea that
the size of a city determines its so
cial importance, and that New York
sets the standard of living for the
rest of the country.
The fact that New York has be¬
come the publishing center of the
country has helped its aggrandize¬
ment more than anything else. The
great publishing firms, whether of
books or magazines, and the great
newspaper establishments are lo¬
cated there. Society stories, both
the fictitious ones of literature and
the real ones of the reporters, have
their scenes laid along a narrow
area extending from Washington
square to the northern limit of Cen¬
tral park.—Miss Frances M. Abbott

ANIMAL DOCTORS.
How Members of the Brute Creation Cure
Themselves When 81ck.
^ ower animals, with few ex
° e Ptions, pxactice a very well devel
OP** 1 system of materia medica.
Most o£ the leasts can diagnose and
prescribe for their ills more success
£ull y than U1£ ,ny men holding phy
bicianB ’ degrees. These animal doc¬
tors are, of coarse, self taught, and
practice entirely without fees.
Dogs are the most remarkable
doctors among domestic animals.
This is probably accounted for by
the fact that of all animals the dog
is most left to care for itself. A dog
suffering from loss of appetite or a
like ill will refuse human remedies
and run, or if necessary drag itself
for miles to find a particular herb
that is a specific for its complaint.
Dogs may often be seen in subur¬
ban lields chewing at a species of
wiry grass known as dog’s grass,
or chieu dent. This, they know,
will cleanse the system and restore
appetite in a way that would bring
envy to the heart of patent medi¬
cine men. Similarly when other
ailments attack them their canine
natures crave oily or fatty sub¬
stances, and they will eat these
greedily, turning from the most
tempting morsels of any other sort
The common ant, when one of its
horns is torn off in battle or other¬
wise, seeks out a companion, who
bathes the wounded part with an
ointment, also homemade—which
heals it. The mongoose is noted
for its enmity to the deadly cobra
snake. When the mongoose is bit¬
ten by a cobra, it plunges into the
nearest thicket or jungle, bites off
and swallows an herb known only
to itself, and having thus taken an
antitode, goes back to renew the
combat.
The chimpanzee, following a like
course when wounded, stanches the
blood with its hand and quickly
seeks a certain sort of grass and
leaves. Mixing them, it makes a
poultice, which is clapped over the
wound, and, unless a vital spot is
touched, soon effects a cure. Should
the ape be too badly hurt to dress
its own wound, its mate will do it,
working as carefully and with prob¬
ably as good effect as any human
doctor. However long the invalid’s
convalescence, the mate prepares
fresh plasters as often as necessary,
and by instinct knows just when
the poultice on the hurt should be
replaced. It also serves its patieut
with proper cooling diet, suited to a
convalescent’s needs.
A far more clever feat of surgery
is performed by the ordinary red
squirrel. When the squirrel’s paw
is torn off in a trap or its leg bro¬
ken by a gunshot, the suffering ani¬
mal drags itself to the nearest safe
place, and, after bracing itself on
some broad branch, or in its own
nest, begins the work of amputa¬
tion. The broken or torn paw is
neatly bitten off. The sufferer seems
to think that for the time the work
is ended and that the skin will cov¬
er the end of the broken stump.
But instead the flesh shrinks back,
leaving the sensitive, jagged bone
protruding. Back goes the three
legged squirrel to his dissecting
room. The bone is carefully gnawed,
not only until it is even with the
flesh, but much farther down. The
bits of flesh and skin thus hang far
beyond the bone, and in time heal
over, covering it completely. It
took the human race some centuries
to learn that simple trick in surgery
which the very stupidest squirrel
understands from the time he is
born.—New York World.

SNOWFLAKES.
The olouda are gray in the wintry «ky, I
And the air with frost is chill.
The winds that have whistled in noisy glee
At twilight are strangely stiiL
No touch of rose lights the auiet west.
No sunset gleam on the far lull’s crest,
On the farmhouse quaint and brown.
Floating and whirling in dizzy maze.
Now to, now fro, in a misty haze
The snowflakes flutter down.
Their hoary heads the poplars bow*
The maples bend and quiver,
While drifts lie deep in the meadows wide
That border the silent river.
A magical spell of fairy grace,
A charm whose wonder we cannot trace
Holds the worn old earth in thrall.
Pure as the prayer of a mother’s love,
Fair us our dreams of the home above,
In the hush the snowflakes fall.

The shadows deepen o’er hill and vale
And rest on the farmhouse old.
Like specters pale in the fading light
The maples shiver with cold.
Still flutter the flakes to the earth below.
This strange old earth with its pain and
woe,
Its shadow of death on all.
But, soothing its sorrow and hushing its
pain.
The Christ sent message we read again
As the snowflakes softly fall.
—Millie E. Wray in Harper’s Bazar.
Ar* We a Nation?
In the opening pages of his arti¬
cle in The Atlantic on “The Making
of the Nation” Woodrow Wilson
asks this significant question: “We
have been told by a certain group
of our historians that a nation was
made when the federal constitution
was adopted; that the strong sen¬
tences of the law sufficed to trans¬
form us from a league of states into
a people single and inseparable.
Home tell us, however, that it was
not till the war of 1812 that we
grew fully conscious of a single
purpose and destiny and began to
form policies as if for a nation.
Others see the process complete only
when the civil war struok slavery
away and gave north and south a
common way of life that should
make common ideals and common
endeavors at last possible. Then,
when all have had their say, there
comes a great movement, like the
one which we call Populism, to re¬
mind us how the country still lies
apart in sections, seme at one stage
of development, some at another,
some with one hope and purpose for
America, some with another, and
we ask ourselves, Is the history of
our making as a nation indeed over,
or do we still wait upon the forces
that shall at last unite us? Are we
even now in fact a nation ?
