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.

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.— New York Herald. • 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.

( A prominent insurance adjuster states that the total insurance loss will perhaps reach $6,000,000, one mil lion more than the estimates which I have been heretofore published.

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 laneous supplies were receivd Thurs day. One car load of supplies were also received from Chicago through Hearst’s Chicago American. The secretary of war has granted permission to dump brick and mortar debris into the St Johns river for bulkheading purposes. 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. CASTOR IA for Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bough) Bears the Signature of GOVERNOR ALLEN’S REPORT.

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.

The I.ady Celestine rose eageily from her golden throne. "At last, at last” sip cried, with throbbing heart. “'t matches my hair.” and the portcullis fell with a 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.— E.
