The Women’s Hotel Company of \cw York City has bought land near Madison avenue and East Twenty ninth street, and plans for a building larce enough to accommodate 500 wom en “are now being drawn. It. is said that subscriptions to the enterprise amounting to $300,000 have been se cured already- The object of the ho tel is to furnish comfortable quarters for business women similar m style to the various bachelor apartment houses that, are becoming so nu merous. A Spring Hat r So. One of the most striking hats shown is a large Leghorn converted al most into the -< coal scuttle bonnet of 50 years ago by the straps of green velvet that held the back close to the crown, which was encircled by a green velvet band. A large scarf of white chiffon, flower painted in colors is draped over and under the wide brim in the front, and a superb white os trich plume completes the picturesque effect. A white turban of the new and love ly fancy gauze and straw mixture is trimmed with a profusion of tiny pink roses, hardly larger than ’an English daisy. These are arranged in loops and dusters, with white tulle. The side is caught up over a bandeau on which is a bow of black velvet. Many downs in Onf. Different beits and sashes also help to make up a wardrobe at little ex pense. With a black gown it is pos sible to ring the changes for an in definite length of time by having broad belts or narrow belts, colored chiffon sashes or fancy ribbon sashes with fringed ends. A black silk gown was in former years considered neces sary to every woman’s comfort and peace of mind; fortunately the fash ion has returned again, and very much the same rule can be carried cut as in the white lining. A skirt with a fitted top and very flaring flounce or flounces will serve to wear with the figured black nets without lining, the embroid ered muslins or chiffons, while the waists can be worn under smart bo leros with false fronts, or even with a cloth waist and a .cloth overskirt. — Harper’s Bazar. Tlie Proper Gloves. Glace kid, buttoned gloves are the correct ones for church- with two or four buttons and of white or a light tan. If tan, a heavier kid is used, and one -or two buttons are sufficient —in fact, a regular heavy walking glove is the smartest. Many women always cling to a suede glove of the mouse quetaire style with two buttons only. These ;are of a lighter shade of color than the gown or of Mack. Of course, this does not refer to a red or a green or a blue gown—simply to the brown or gray. A white suede glove is absolute ly inappropriate, however. So much depends upon the lining of the muff sees to what gloves ean be worn from a practical point of view that it is as well to buy one with refer ence to the other. The present fash ion of the white lining or the fur lining for the very rich fur muffs makes it possible to wear white or light gloves, whereas the dark linings so scon soil the gloves that it is generally silly to follow slavishly the fashion of wear ing white glove*, especially if econ omy has to be consulted. As the church costume is emphatic ally a walking costume, heavy walking boots or boots of kid and patent leather are correct The fancy dress boot or shoe is not then sensible or in good taste. Concerning Girl*’ Feet. ‘‘Girls between the ages of 16 and 18 generally have big feet,” said a fashionable shoemaker, "and they are at such periods of their lives disposed to be at and flabby, but at 22 a re markable change take3 place. The foot then completely subsides, the flabbiness disappears the flesh of the foot becomes firmer, the muscles and tendons get stronger, and the bones become well set. Altogether r. great difference is noticeable. Yes. we have difficulty with girls of about 11 or thereabouts, for then they re fiuire a shoe large enough for a full grown woman. When they get older aod the fot becomes settled new boots m ade on the old last will he found t°o large, and it. is only when the lo ,: og ladies complain that their new s oes are too big that we know the °°t undergone the change just described. Then explanations have t° be given, but the shoe maker doesn’t mind that so much, for a wom an as she grows older likes to be old that her foot is getting smaller. ter 40 the feet of a woman go hack o the fat and flabby state, and herein grows the trouble of the shoemaker '' o has to state, in explanation, why e * as,; Pair of shoes do net fit; that e cause lies in the fact that her feet Th* bigger. No. I don't think a t cycling increases the size of a ir 3 foot. True, one or two of our customers have asked us to make cir new hots a shade larger, but this lfficulty is gotten over by making '•m ‘full.’ Wo have never alter#<i ‘ length.’*— Washington Star. Tlio Mother’s Health. ■*hc child’s dress should be plain . n not elaborate. This makes a sav op the price of the material, or the ot k in the laundry, and the ca**; of e child, who is often hampered and fretted with the ruffles and embroider. Ses, and made to feel various re straints in the endeavors to keep clean and nreserve from other ravages the dainty apparel. A child should never bo conscious of its clothes. Many mothers toil and deny themselves even to the point of injuring their health, that they may satisfy their am bition to clothe their children in beau tiful garments. They are led to do this ironi their social ambition and ficm their motherly love, which would lavish upon the child all that any i iiild could ha' r e. The great temp tations of mothers is to make riqlls and puppets of their children. Fortu nately to do this women do not have to work as hard as in other days, as children s drosses come ready-made a.nl a reasonable prices, so that the maternal needle is not driven to such feats o f embroidery and dressmaking as formerly. Nevertheless the pur chasing of the children’s wardrobe and the care and mending which are nec essary, are not among the least of the demands upon the mother’s time. A mother once said to me; T look at my little ones trotting off to school, and think that each child wears 50 button-holes that I have made!”'—* Dr. Grace Peckham Murray, in Har per’s Bazar. Hair Comb# of Pearl. Combs of pearl, rarely carved, stud ded with jewels and bound with gold, are what the dealers in costly orna ments are showing with the greatest pride. It is remarkable that the jew elers never realized the artistic utility of shining opalescent seashell lining as a hair decoration before, for hitherto fans .and opera glasses and buttons have monopolized all the pink, white and smoked pearl used in the femi nine toilet. Combs of the new departure are made of only the most richly colored pearl, and studded and crowned with stones that echo the opalescent tint3 of the shell. The advancing popular ity of pearl has not in the least in jured the vogue of tortoise shell, and has generally increased the popularity of the three, seven and fifteen-pronged comb as a hair ornament. At intervals some native returned from Paris spreads a rumor to the effect that combs and aigrettes have had their day, and a few followers arc found for this gospel. After brief adherence to this fashion the limpid glory of gems shines out again from well-combed tresses, and the aigrettes, crescents, etc., flash out <cheerfully. Among the pretty spring surprises in hair bric-a-brac are combs with tufts of tiny jeweled feathers quivering at their tops and combs surmounted with an exquisite white aigrette and a few' delicate diamond flowers. Avery recent pattern in combs for the back hair shows tiny golden roses, each with a bright White diamond heart, blossoming In an orderly row at the top of a bowed band of blonde shell. If the heads of very well-dressed women and the contents of the showcases of very prosperous jewelers are significant we are going to wear very tall and broad combs of modified Spanish shape in the near future. However splendid the glitter and workmanship of these may be, their commercial value is not always above the reach of a moderately supplied purse. Combs carved by Lalique and set with the whitest stones from Kimberley are so cleverly copied and set with handsomepastegemsthat no woman need indulge the sin of cov etousness, hut honestly and happily buy furniture for her head that is to all intents and purposes as fine as that Mrs. Astar or Mrs. Vanderbilt wears. —if All the soft crepe weaves are win ners. Point de Venise appliques are fa vored. Black and white is not necessarily mourning. Silk mitts will be a summer feature with elbow sleeves. A four-in-hand is effectively knotted under the ever modisli collar. Undersleeves bid fair to figure in every garment from a lingerie waist to a coat. Velvet ribbons will net be crowded out by the new and fetching silk weaves. Boleros when not forming a whole jacket are added to jackets and blouses of longer cut. Two or three lace collars (cut, up more or less) may be used on one pretty blouse. Bands of sprigged net run up in bon ilones with edging on either side, are one of the fashion modes of adorning foulard gowns. Amateur dressmakers should re member that foundation skirts must be cut with as much care and be as ample as the outer skirt. Among the, lace trimmings, Yenise, Cluny and Irish guipure take first rank. Black Chantilly is very swagger for garnishing white mouslins. For a long coat there’s no ne-wer or more effective sleeve than the smallish bishop, which is caught into a cuff that flares a bit over the hand. Separate top coats for spring are en tirely out of favor this season. All the prettiest and most stylish coats zrm part of the complete costume. Large, wide, low crowns and lavish hr m trimmings, mark the smartest r ilinerv creations. Imrge flat bows of tulle, or lisse c" lacc backed with s. tin often conceal these crowns.

CjfS I PARK SUIT iN SUfOiE COURi Bill of Exceptions to Judge Candier’s Ruling Is Filed By Attorney of Georgia State Treasurer. At Atlanta, Ga., Thursday the bill ef exceptions in the mandamus suit of Governor Candler on behalf of the state and State Treasurer Park to en force the payment of the salaries of the state school teachers was signed ; by Judge Candler before whom the case was heard several days ago, and filed in the clerk’s office of the su preme court, and the case stands i ready now to be heard by that tri bunal. which will render the decision i of highest authority and will be final. It is the purpose of the parties to the suit to have the supreme court i push the hearing forward on the dock- ! et and in this secure an early disposi- 1 tion of the case, since more than $250,- 1 000 due the state teachers depends on i the decision. It is expected that at least 20 days will el&pse before the first possible place on the calendar can be found for the hearing. In this event the decision will be rendered by between June 1 and June 15. Much interest attaches to the result of the case. It has now been pending in the courts several w r eeks or since the presentation of the warrants for the school teachers’ salaries and the lailure to pay them on the part of State Treasurer Park. The bill of exceptions attacks the grounds on which Judge Candler based his decision which was to the effect that State Treasurer Park should hon or the warrants from that portion of the public property fund derived from the sale of the Northeastern railroad and also on the ground that a ministe rial officer cannot raise a constitution al question. Judge Candler in his decision did not take under consideration the ques tion of the former public property fund other than that derived from the sale of the Northeastern. Treasurer Park in the bid of exceptions asks that this question, as well as every other one in the suit, be decided by the court. The bill of exceptions goes into the case at length, and deals minutely with the reasons for the decision from the highest court. TEACHERS EXPRESS THANKS.

VETERANS HONOR HAMPTON. They March to Aged General's Home and Present Laurel Wreath. The Confederate veterans of South Carolina assembled in reunion at Co lumbia Thursday morning. In the afternoon the veterans and Sons of Veterans adjourned and marched nearly a mile to General Hampton’s house. Here a number of speeches were made and then General Hampton was introduced.

Government Is Appalled at Amount of Indemnity Demanded. Dr. Morrison, wiring to The London Times from Pekin, May 10th, says: “The Chinese plenipotentiaries are drafting a reply to the ministers of the powers expressing astonishment at the amount of indemnity demanded and urging a reduction on, the ground of the empire’s financial difficulties, but undertaking, if the full amount is exacted, to pay in thirty annual in stallments of 15,000,000 taels from the likin, salt tax and native customs. CASTOR IA ! for Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bough) ; BOUNDARY LINE DSSPUTF. Georgia Secretary of State Will Hear Protests ar.d Exceptions. Secretary of State Phil Cook will hear the protest and exceptions in the matter of the disputed boundary line between the counties of Hall and Gwinnett on May 24th. The location of this line has occasioned some feel ing between the two counties and the decision of the secretary of state is looked forward to with a great deal of interest. As the matter rests at present the collection of taxes by the tax collec tors of each county has given rise to some confusion and the final location of the line will put a stop to the the entry for taxes in the books of both counties of the same tracts of land. Costly Blaze at Wilmington* Fire, which broke out from an un known cause in a warehouse of the North State Improvement Company, at Wilmington, N. C., Saturday morn ing caused an aggregate loss of about v 150,000. Catarrh has become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarr? as nothing more serious than a bad cold a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if rot at first, i: very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated bv the foul secretions, and tliepoison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because tliev do not reach the scat of the trouble. S. S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar rhal secretions, and tints cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases. Mr. T. A. ’Williams, a lending; dry-good* mer chant of Spariaulmrg, S. C., writes : •• For years I had a seveie case of , -,yx>-v nasal Catarrh, with all <ftrnuwr* T lt fci the disagreeable effects tT which belong to that B disease, and which M Saßh make life painful and *£2 unendurable.

A New Verwri'ln Rug. Those who art looking for novel effects for their summer cottages n . y find a helpful suggestion in the nys that one woman has been making. Tin y are woven from lampwick, something after the manner of old-fashioned braided rugs, such as one finds in fa* n> house, and when finished aio pained to harmonize with the room in which they are to be used. In all cases, how ever, black appears as a conspicuous part of the color scheme. This biinrs out the other colors by contrast and gives decided character to the rug. For veranda use these rugs are admirable, being substantial, picturesque and un ostentatious. When they are to to used out of doors it is a pretty con< < it to introduce the colors of the exterior of the house into them, retaining the black, however, as in those for indoor use. Lampwick, when bought by the quantity, is inexpensive, and as the work costs nothing and the paints little, one may have a unique feature for house furnishing at a small outlay*. —Philadelphia Press. Keeping tlie Home Healthful. The heat and moisturo of the sum mer months have a tendency to rust metals, mildew fabrics and cover all sorts of substances with mold. Fer mentation and putrefaction develop rapidly in vegetable and animal sub stances if they are not carefully watched. Lime and charcoal are two aids toward keeping the house swo t and dry, and the housekeeper should, n possibly provide herself with both of these materials. A barrel each' of lime and charcoal in the cellar will tend to keep that part of the house dry and sweet. A bowl of lime in a damp closet will dry and sweeten it. A dish of charcoal in a closet or refrigerator will do much toward making the-e places sweet. The power of charcoal to absorb odors is much greater directly after it. has been burned than when it has h ( n exposed to theairforalength of time. Charcoal may bo purified and used again and again by heating it to a red heat. The liine must, be kept, in a plac where there is no chance of its getting wet and not exposed to air. recipes Apple Fritters —Beat two eggs, yokes and whites separately, the latter until they are as stiff as for frosting. Add to the yolks a half pint of sweet milk, a pinch of salt and two cups of sifted flour in which has been mixed a tiu spoonful of baking powder. Stir in a pint of peeled and slived apples and the whites of the eggs. The batter should be thick enough to drop from a spoon, but not so thin as to run from it.

Corn Soup—One can of corn, a quart of milk, butter the size of a walnut, one tablespoonful of flour and a scant teaspoonful of salt.

Re turn to the fire; when it boils add the butter, the salt and the flour stirred perfectly smooth with a little cold milk. Let cook till slightly thickened, and serve hot. Three ears of green corn can be used instead of the canned corn. Carrot Balls —Boil carrots in lightly salted water until tender, peel, rub through a potato press. For each cup ful put in saucepan over the fire one half tablespoonful butter, one heaping tablespoonful flour, one-half cup of milk.
