Fine Km "broidery Mncli Used.
Experts in fine embroidery have
their hands full at present.
Hand embroidery figures conspicuous
ly on the new gowns, and the dress
makers are striving vainly to find
workers who can do the artistic tasks
required.
Fine lingerie, too, calls for an infi
nite amount of dainty haud embroid
ery, and even when the trimming is in
lace and insertion there is at least
an elaborately embroidered monogram
on the under garment.
In Paris the monqgram is not the
last note of fashion in lingerie making.
The French woman now prefers to
have a symbol in place of her mono
gram, and racks her brain for an ef
fective device that will in some way
suggest her personality.
Mother and Child.
The ideal mother, like the ideal
teacher, is an artist rather than a sci
entist; and although she bases her art
upon a knowledge of underlying sci
entific; principles, her skill is shown
in producing effects which are appar
ently natural and unstudied. She
keeps herself In the background, pro
viding opportunity for the observation
of desirable objects and activities, and
allowing the child to do his own ob
serving.
She leaves him free to follow his
own impulses, and if the impulse is
leading him astray, she manages to
suggest a thought which turns it in
anew direction. In conversation she
lets the child lead, answering his ques
tions and responding sympathetically
to his comments, thus awakening in
him the new thought which naturally
grows out of the old. She remembers
always that it is the child who must
do the growing—that when she has ex
pended the utmost care and thought
upon his environment, when she has
tried to discover and to provide the
surroundings which will best promote
his physical, mental and moral growth
then she must stand aside to wait and
watch while his life unfolds freely and
spontaneously from within. —Rosema-
ry Baum, in Harper’s Bazar.
Oneen Alexndni'i Companion.
Avery plain and unpretentious wom
an occupies today, in England, a place
which the first ladies of the land
might well desire. Miss Knollys has
for years been the companion and
trusted friend of the Princess of Wales,
and now has as much influence with
Queen Alexandra as any women in
England.
The princesses are devoted to the
Sentle little woman, and the king is
her good friend. It is said that King
Edward will make her a peeress, in
her own right, so that she may be eli
gible to one of the high places near the
Person of her majesty.
The question of places in the new
court is causing many heart burnings.
an< E although the new sovereign is too
tactful to make speedy and sweeping
c 'anges, there are removals and ru
mors of removals. Some of the old in
cumbents have been pensioned. Others

A New Occupation for Women.
A woman who has lived in Washing
mi for years and but lately removed
° New York City found herself
°bhged to earn money.
. ne day 3 woman who holds a po
?|tion in a banking house was bewail
mg her lot at lunch time.
„ 1 am often so busy,” she said,
" ien noon comes that I cannot leave
11 > desk to go to some restaurant, and
lni often obliged to wait for a bite
Until 2 or even 3 o’clock. If I could
v bave a lunch, say a sandwich, a
piece of cake and a glass of milk
brought in to me I know I should be
in better health.
‘T get so faint about 12 30 that it
often brings on r. headache and by
the time 1 .get out ! have lost a*l de
sire to eat.”
Now the woman put on her thinking
cap and remembered having heard
that a woman in Washington waa go
ing around among the government
clerks serving a dainty lunch every day
between 12 irad 1 o'clock to those who
did net care to go out or who could
not. leave their desks.
Fhe obtained permission from the
superintendent of one of the largest
buildings down town to canvass among
the women employed in the offices anil
find out if this really was a want, and
if so if it would pay her to cater to it.
Her canvass resulted in obtaining
almost 100 customers in that one
building. She furnishes a lunch con
sisting of two sandwiches, oneofmeat,
the other of lettuce, cheese or sardines,
a couple of liberal slices cf home made
cake and a glass of milk put up in a
small bottle, which is returned the
next day.
These little lunches are nicely done
up in white paper, served at. 12 every
day and cost 15 cents. She employs
two boys to deliver the lunches, which
she puts up in her own apartment.—

Beautifying tlie Simple Fnranol.
The deft-handed woman who aspires
to pretty parasols, but does not care to
spend a fortune on them, will be a
busy and a happy creature this sea
son. Most of the summer styles in
sunshades lend themselves easily to
partial reproduction by the clever am
ateur. For instance, sunshades of
plain silk are trimmed with graduated
rows of black velvet around the edge.
The effect is charming, and the sun
shade thus trimmed is a third again as
expensive as the same sunshade, un
tiimmed. Any clever woman accus
tomed to “fixing" and fussing can trim
her sunshade of pink or blue, lilac or
white silk, to look exactly the same
as the Paris importation. Another
fancy is lines of narrow black velvet
running up from the outer edge toward
the centre of the parasol. Between
each pair of ribs are from five to seven
lines of velvet, the centre one reaching
half way toward the tip of the para
sol. the others being quite short. This
effect is very pretty and when closed
the sunshade looks like a handsome
striped silk. A simple black velvet
ribbon edge is effective on a parasol
of pale hued silk, and this is a “wrin-
the season and very easy to add
to one’s modest priced parasol.
Even the splendiferous lace and chif
fon creations can he further glorified
by the amateur, and yet not wear a
home-made air. Many of the most
costly parasols owe their nonchalant
elegance to the careless bunch of roses
or the big chou of ribbon at one side.
These can be added by the least skil
ful of parasol owners, as can also
ruchings of chiffons, applique motifs
of simple design and frills of lace. Neat
stitches, patience and care are the
principal requisites to the beautifying
of the simple parosal and the conse
quent mystification of the world—for,
of course, the chief joy of having an
artful sunshade lies in its power to
make the world gape admiringly at
one's magnificence, and to be bliss
fully aware that the admirers do not
know that one did not pay an exorbi
tant price for one’s beauty and fash
ion.—New' York Commercial Adver
tiser.
Tailor made gowns of silk are on?
of the season's demands.
Renaissance and mercerized grena
dines are among the new thin cotton
materials.
Shirred yokes are features of thin
frocks, and they w r ill be built over
colored foundations.
“Tantivy Croat” is the name of one
of the new neckties made of mercer
ized cheviot to wear with the outing
shirts.
As the season advances the odd
blouse is more in evidence. Thin
stuffs shirred in diamonds, marked off
with narrow black velvet ribbon, con
stitute yokes and undersleeves.
Black velvet belts and stocks are
worn with colored shirtwaists. A nov
elty is a narrow white pique belt,
stitched and made with silver eyelets
and a plain buckle, to fasten like a
leather strap.
Corselet belts prove so becoming
that they are almost universally worn
with any sort of bolero. They are al
most as much trouble to make as a
bodice, for they require to be boned
and fitted with great exactitude.
Linens and wash materials of all
kinds built on severe tailor line, will
be fashionable this summer. The plain
linens and piques, as well as figured,
will be made without trimming of any
sort, save the folds or bands of the
same material as the gown.
Pretty white gauze scarfs dotted
over with printed flowers in natural
colors add novelty to the department
devoted to neckwear. Scarfs of every
kind are in demand, and another pretty
variety is in thin white silk with chine
borders. Others are striped with cash
mere designs.
The most charming dotted swisses
are now shown in all the shops. They
come in pastel gray with white lozenge
shaped dots, in bonbon green with
white dots and serpentine stripes, in
maize yellow with black lacy stripes
that look like insertion, in violet,
black and white, and a variety of love
ly shades and tasteful designs.

SOLDIERS KEPT BEST OF ORDER
While Everything Is Quiet Troops Will
Be Retained to Perform Police
Duties and Withdrawal
Will Be Gradual.
The ending of the martial law re
gime at Jacksonville, Fla., Thursday
was not accompanied by any disorder
and the city remains quiet.
While the civil authorities have re
sumed their usual functions, troops
will be kept in the city for the pres
ent to perform police duties and the
withdrawal, when it begins, will be
gradual.
The number of people being fed by
the commissary aggregate 3,294.
A ship building concern that was
burned, which employs 100 men, has
already resumed operations, its ma
chinery having been in part saved. An
iron works company employing thir
ty-five men has also resumed.
The site of the burned Commercial
bank building, -at Laura and Bay
streets, seventy-five feet front on Bay,
together with a small lot with fifty
two feet front on Laura street, were l
sold Thursday for SSO,OOO, and it is
announced that a handsome building
probably with marble front, will be
erected immediately by the purchas- ]

hand, and many people are preparing
to rebuild. (
A prominent insurance adjuster
states that the total insurance loss
will perhaps reach $6,000,000, one mil

ments in nearly all cases are quick
and satisfactory.
Through the New York chamber of
commerce and Merchants’ Association
one car of water closets and fittings,
one car with wheelbarrows and thir
ty-seven dozen hose, one car of cots
and mattresses and one car of miscel

also received from Chicago through
Hearst’s Chicago American.
The secretary of war has granted
permission to dump brick and mortar

At the morning meeting of the re
lief association It was deemed neces
sary, owing to the conflicting reports
sent through the country by individ
uals, which t6iid to confuse the pub
lic mind, to create an authoritative
channel through which must be sent
all information relating to the situa
tion. A press representative was ap
pointed in the person of Edwin G.
Weed, bishop of the diocese of Florida,
and the Associated Press was chosen
as the channel of transmission of ap
peals and statements of the needs of
the people. So the public is informed
that all statements as to needs, all
requests and all proclamations, unless
signed by Bishop sent by his
direct authority, are not to be given
credence by the people and in no way
voice the organization that is charged
with the relief work of Jacksonville.
SEABOARD IS ENJOINED.
Sou...bound Railroad Cannot Be Le
gally Acquired, Says Judge Gage.
At Chester, 8. C., Thursday Judge
Gagq issued an order restraining the
Seaboard Air Line from acquiring the
South Bound railroad, and ordering
the authorities of the latter road to
show cause why a receiver should not
be appointed.
The South Bound was built about
eight years ago between Columbia and
Jacksonville. It was immediately
leased by the Florida, Central and Pe
ninsular. Later the Seaboard acquired
the property by lease. The F., C. and
P. was never incorporated in the state,
nor has the Seabord Air Line a domes
tic charter. Consequently damage
suits must be made out against the
South Bound.

still there was something lacking to
complete the perfection of her sur
roundings. Though the world be full
and the heart bo empt\ there c am;< t

Foetus had been writt 1 n to the Lady

as red as the cherries: to her chin, to
her neck, to her forehead and to her
hair—her magnificent hail truly the
crown of Lady Celesfim -s glory; and
still she sought what was not Yet
come to her.
Suitors were numerous-- Wo numer
ous; for the fair 1 ady C< destine could
not choose among so many, and at last
it was determined that upon a festal
day all the knights who had hopes
of gaining her heart, should come to
the castle and she would make her
choice, it was a gala occasion, and
betimes on the morning of the day
chosen the* knights congregated about
the closed gates' of the c astle. To the
fortunate one tb> portcullis wa to fall,
and he was to enter and become lord
of the castle and master of the Lady
Celestine’s heart. A seneschal was
posted on the outer wall to herald the
knight approaching to hi* 1 glory 01 his
doom. When ail '•■an n-ady. the first
knight rode forth
“The knight, of Stepney ' cried the
seneschal.
1 “What manner of stood rides he ?’’
called the iadv over the castle tele
phone, which hung above the golden
dias where she sat in the great audi
ence chamber.
“As black as the pitch of Pont urn,
fair lady,” responded the seneschal.
The portcullis did not fall, and an
other knight approached.
“The knight of Aberdeen, fair lady,”
announced the seneschal
“What manner of steed rides he?”
called the lady.
“As brown and as beautiful as the
eyes of a houri, fair lady ,” replied the
sensed! al.
Again the portcullis did not fall, ane]
another knight came forward.
"The knight of Windermere, fair
lady,” called the seneschal.
“What manner of steed rides he?”
asked the lady.
"Sorrel, fair lady; as glossy as your
<>e*n new russet, shoes replied the
seneschal.
The portcullis did rep fail, ne r did
it when others approached, until cne
came.
“The knight of Kiliemall. fai v lady,”
called he seneschal.
“What manner of steed rides he?”
asked the lady
“White, fair lady; as dazzling as
the sunlight on Himalayas’ snows,”
said the seneschal.
The I.ady Celestine rose eageily
from her golden throne.
"At last, at last” sip cried, with
throbbing heart. “'t matches my

crash.
Now, who can tell the color cf ber
bail?—Washington Star.
Mr. Evnrhi r a Ijiwyer.
It is a good thing to boa leading
lawyer, and profitable in many par
ticulars. Mr. Evarts' abilities as a
lawyer were several times of signal
value to his country as well as to him
self. His labors in the Johnson Im
peachment trial and in the Alabama
case are felt to have been great public
services. But ho helped fc ; s genera
tion in another way by affording it a
great deal of amusement. A good part
f his fame rests ou his iokes. and to
them is due, no doubt, very much of
the kindlv sentiment his generation—
and ours, too —had fo~ him. For
years he was the foremost Yale man,
and that, was another source of his
extended reputation. He worked very
hard, he earned a great deal of money,
he raised a large family he was ad
mired, honored, and esteemed. and he
made some imperishable jokes, it is
hard to spare such a man. Bat it
seems that Mr. Evarts felt that he
had done all the work and had all the
fun that were coming in this world,
and was anxious to be off and about
whatever concerns may follow those
of earth. The last story that is told
of him is of a minister who talked
long to hftn. as he ’ay abed, about the
Philippines. “Don’t, you ca”e about
the Philippines?” he asked him. “Nc, u
was the dry response, “''m not going
there, anyway.” Men smiled when
they snoke of Mr. Evarts living; they
will smile when they think of him new
that he is gone; bet tire smile is a
tribute, warmed and qualified just now
with regret that we have lost him.—
