New York, June 15.—" There she goes!*’
whispered Maisie, excitedly, peering
through the vines. '‘Why, the best-dress

place. to be sure. I’ve been watching
her iiloa a hawk all week, since from the
bow in her hair to the how in her shoe
she is an infallible indicator of which
way the wind of fashion blows. Yester
day morning I saw her climb the steps
of that new big colonial bouse down the
drive. She was evidently a luncheon
guest, and in her lovely chestnut hair
was a big bow of black grenadine rib
bon, for she wore no hat, anew and, I
think, sweetly informal fashion of drop
ping in to pick one's midday chicken wing
and crush a strawberry with a friend. Of
course, she carried a parasol of white
silk, with two inset bands of black lace,
and a white wood stick having a pro
digiously curled ebony handle, whicii was
very chic. Indeed. Her gown, dear me!
Now. why didn’t I have one like it, in
stead of my cornflower blue nuns' veil

Incrustcd in embroidered black silk dots
and big, delicate black laci' flowers laid
on, and the goods was not cut out be

her sweet waist .and the overdress, which
last was cut in long points from the knees
down to allow a vaporousiy tight accord
ion-pleated flounce of the finest black silk
muslin to flower cmt about her feet. The
yoke of her body was made of fine pleat

black panne ran around her slender waist,

“I like it all except the parasol," com
mented the hostess, going back to her
easy cane chair in the shady, breezy
corner. ‘There is something newer than
that—a parasol made wholly of tucked
Swiss muslin, showing in set bands of
Valenciennes entre deux and beading,
with narrow ribbons run through the last!
It goes without saying that double frills
of gathered lace finish off the bottom, and
such a cover can be dropped in nil its
transparent loveliness over the naked ribs
of a paarsol and used thus, or stretched
upon a plain pin, blue or yellow silk sun

latest whisper from Paris, and some wo
men I know' are showing off their genius
for tine needlework by making these sun
shade covers of white silk muslin, and
some are using the most delicate hand
kerchief batiste and are embroidering
their crests and initials thereon."
Sweet Simplicity.
"There are times," quoth Maisie, going
hack to her chair and supreme idleness,
"when I am almost persuaded by papa’s
fatuous argument that the more simply
and least expensively a woman is dressed
the sweeter she seems. I met two girl
friends of mine on the beach this morn

of each sleeve a cuff of the same fell over
her hand, and a belt and collar of stitch

thing off.
“Her friend was in pique, white, spotted
with marine blue, plain skirt, a close
fitting sailor w r aist, laid in tucks over the
bust and having a big collar of stiff white
linen, turning back from a vest and collar
of solid blue linen to match the dots in her
gown. Her belt and Cuffs were blue, and
under her collar waved the soft silk ends*
of a blue silk tie. She carried a service
able blue linen sunshade, having a band
of white about the edges, ancl her white
stitched linen hat had a cloud of blue
straw bows ai one side. They took me*
home to their hotel and showed me their
things, and made my mouth water with
their fine bargains and my cheeks burn
with shame over my own extravagance.

It is admirable,” replied the hostess,
“but I am afraid so much can t be said for
your pretty little glass of fashion across
the way. No concealed bargain counter
about .her frocks.”
"I should say not," replied Maisie. “I
nm told she is the girl who has set the
fashion at Newport of wearing black veil

one bright color. A black liberty silk and
a toque of pelargonium pink tucked chif

mean, or you cam wear a black voil with a
wide pink straw hat buried in small pink

A Peacock, for (lie Hair.
“She was the one I saw a* the dance
last night wearing a truly attractive orna
ment in her hair,” answered the hostess.
‘The hair was put up high, end then in
front on top was set a gorgeous peacock
made of spangles. Every one turned
about to watch it, and we women envi
ously wondered where she had bought it.
'By day, when she relaxes her stately at
titudes on the links, I take very admiring
note of her shirt waist. She has been
here at least two weeks and every morn
ing she rejoices our eyes with a waist of
complete freshness, in cut, if not in color.
It only goes to prove, of course, how in
finite the shirt waist variations are. Yes
terday morning it was a pretty pink ba
tiste affair tucked a little on the shoulder,'
but chiefly relieved by narrow white bead
ing striping the front and intersecting all
the seams. The day before that it was
a white lawn affair, every inch laid in lat
itudinal tucks, ond a half shaped cuff over
the hand. Before that she went by in a
very taking little confection of French
blue batiste made with u vest, sailor
collar, cuffs and neck band of the sheer

"The pretties! waists I have seen have,
the tidy little trimmed neck fixings that

sighed the good lady as she rose at the

WOMEN OF THE W HITE HOI SE.
Vs Many Blondes as Brunettes In the
List of Presidents* W Ive*.
Washington, June 15.—0f mistresses of
the White House, the. most popular one
until the advent of Mrs. Cleveland, was
Mrs. James K. Polk. Like Mrs. Cleve
land, she was a brunette, and of regal
presence; if was often remarked that not
a crowned hea l in Europe could queen it
more royally than the wife of the Repub
lican President. Poets penned verses In
her honor, and on the last Sunday of her
stay in Washington the clergyman ad
dressed her from the pulpit. She was
always treated with great distinction, and
even after leaving the White House she
was visited every New Year's by the Leg
islature In a body.
Mrs. George Washington also possessed
the brunette style of beauty; she had
dark hazel eyes and brown hair. She
was not a beauty, but she had a good
form, rather below middle weight, and
her manners were frank and engaging.
She dressed plainly, and at a bail given in
her honor, she wore a simple russet gown
and white handkerchief about her neck.
One of her dresses, which she herself
manufactured, was of cotton, striped with
silk, which she obtained from ravcltngs
of in-own silk stockings and old crimson
chair covers.
Mrs Monroe was considered a beauty.
She was tali and gracefully formed, pol
ished and elegant in society. Mrs. John
Adams was never beautiful, but she was
of imposing appearance, and very intel
lectual.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was farced
for her charming manners, and Mrs.
Andrew Jackson for her amiable temper
and kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van Buren.
who died before her husband attained his
exalted position, was a pretty woman
with modest, unassuming manners and
gentle disposition.
The first Mrs. Tyler waa one of the
bells of Eastern Virginia, being nvxst at
tractive in her striking loveliness of per
son and character. The second. Mrs.
Tyler was the first woman to marry a
President. Before her marriage she was,
for the one season she spent there, the
belle of Washington.
A sparkling brunette was Mrs. Will
iam Henry Harrison. She was very
handsome, with a face full of animation,
and her health, which was perfectly ro
bust, added a glow to her foedures, which
Increased her charms. “Upon her coun-

tenanee," It is recorded, "nature had been
profusely liberal.”
Mrs. Thomas Jefferson was remark
able for her beauty. Her complexion war
brilliant; her large, expressive eyes of
"the richest tinge of auburn.” A little
above medium weight, she was slightly,
but delicately, forriled. She danced, sang,
played the spinnet and harpsichord and
rode with great skill.
Mrs. James Madison was a pretty, bux
om woman, with a smile and a pleasant
word for every one. She had regular
features and sparkling eye*.
Mrs Zachary Taylor was a quiet wo
man, but possessed of great strength of
character and of the true spirit, of the
American heroine, enduring patiently
privation Incident to life on the frontier,
where her husband, as MaJ Taylor, was
stationed. She. had no ambition beyond
making her home happy.
A blonde of rare beauty was Mrs. Mil
lard Fillmore, with a skin of dazzling
whiteness and auburn hair. She was
quite tall, with a fine figure and of com
manding presence. She is ranked
with the wives of the two Freni
dent Adams' as a learred woman, and It
was through her that her husband asked
for arM obtained an approprlat'on of
f'ongress to buy books for the White
House. Up to that time there had been
a Bible there, and almost literally noth
ing more.
Another woman of rare beauty was
Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She also had many
accomplishments. She was very relined
and quiet, shunning society.
Mrs Abraham Lincoln a* a girl was
very attractive, and she had many sui
tors. When she became the mistress of
the White Horse she was “fair and
forty." That she was the successor of
the popular, elegant and accomplished
Miss Lane was not u point in her favor.
At the first levee she appeared in pink
silk, decollete, short-sleeved, and a floral
headdress, which ran down to her waist,
■nd destroyed what eomllness simplicity
might have given her.
Mrs. Andrew Johnson possessed the

Southern manners, made her a belle in
New York society.
Mrs. Harrison was a fair girl and pos
sessed the blonde style of beauty, which
also belongs to Mrs McKinley.
MOD EH fit SEA-GOING COMFORTS.
They Include a New Air Cushion, a
Chair Invented by a Woman.
New York, June 15,—This summer a
femtninp mariner of extended experience
who had grown disgusted with the fa
tigue that the ill-arranged steamer chair
invariably produces, designed a dec* seat
of her own that has been widely enough
copied to threacen ultimate substitution
for the stools of repentance that are rent
ed by the comfort companies. Her chair
has a Morris back that, by the adjust
ment of two litale iron pins, can be push
ed up or down to any angle. The ex
tender Is much longer than the teat
proper, and the seat itself is perfectly
level, so that when the foot rest is un
hinged and thrust u \der the seat and the
back brought up nearly at right angles
with the bottom an entirely comfortable
chair for an upright posture Is the re
sult.
Just a few unsonhtstleated first vo>-
ayers nowaday* include in their para
phernalia for comfo" n feath
er or down-stuffed deck pillow. A ihin
rubber bag, blown up with air to any
degree of plumpness desired is the proper
thing. It rolls up into the smallest space,
tucks into a handbag when not in use,
andfiswathed in a befrilled slip of bright
Oriental silk, it is Just as pretty and con
ventional in appearance as its down-filled
brother. Quito as Important s a plenti
ful supply of pillows to every sea sick
traveler is the deck dinner basket that Is
an English Invention, and that contrib
utes very largely to the contentment of
any one who must of necessity dine in
the open air.
The dinner basket Is a wicker tray that
sits on the knees as one reclines in a
steamer chair, and by small clasps Us
sides are secured to the arms of the chair.
All the tray's expanse Is divided Into com
partments for holding quite firmly a plate,
cup. tumbler, napkin, knife and fork, and
then along the sides are fastened tiny
wooden or horn boxes and bottles that
hold gait, pepper, oil, vinegar, mustard,
olives, etc. The waves may surge and tile
wind may blow, but the dinner basket
keeps its grip, and is often a more com
fortable and secure means of taking meals
on Fhtpboard than the saloon table, for
all its racks and fiddle strings. On a few
of the steamship lines baskets for deck
meals are beneficently provided for the
invalids, but ,any well equipped traveler
now possesses his or her own special tray,
woven of lacquered brown or gay green
and white willow, with all the appoint
ments to exactly fit the sockets.
Seir Leather Tuggery.
Before setting out on a voyage the pros
pective traveler won't make any mistake
to drop into his stationer's and ask to see
some of the new leather toggery invented
for the particular comfort of those who
are going strange countries for to sec.
For example, there are excellent new port
folios filled with while, grey or blue, spe
cially made, correspondence paper, stowed
in so neatly and compactly that, while
enough Its supplied to carry even a school
girl through on amazing list of letters,
hc bulk and weight Is very slight. A
fountain pen, on Indelible bln. It lead pen
cil and equipment for pen arid Ink. all go
with this, and a tiny ink well, no bigger
than an overcoat button. Is sunk in one
corner of th blotter and supplied tv.to
travelers' Ink. This is a series of little
blue, black or purple tablets, Just as you
may prefer the color of your writing fluid,
and one slipped In the baby Ink well with
n teaspoonful of plain water, produces
enough good Ink for half a dozen letters.
Besides a few r sheets hearing a diction
ary of simple words, the best fotelgn trav
eler’s portfolio carries a thin leather
bound hook that contains all Information
as to parcel, letter atsl second class post,
oge In Kngland, France, Germany, etc.
This capital little book tells that not the
chemist, but the newstand man sells post
age In Knglund, that the tobacconist sells
H In France, and then It goes on very
wisely to give the, spelling of towns and
countries In the various foreign languages,
and Is quite luminous on the question of
how to send telegtams and cable me-
sages.
Another clever achievement of the i ta
tloner is the traveler's diary. Most l er
eons long to keep a record of their ex
pensca and doings while abroad, but arc
too Idolent or simple to know what to ii
down or how to express themselves. Thl
the diary compiler does for them by rp
tng off every page Into sections and indl
eating Just what must be written In. The
date, pame of hotel and country, etatc or
weather are all listed; then points of Inter
lest visited or length of Journey taken, ar
rival or departure have their proper
lines pointed out, and all the lazy traveler
must do Is to HU In with a llgure, name
or word or two. Following this expenses
are easily itemized opposite auch printed
suggestions of possible outlay, as cab hire,

Acceptable Gifts.
These are some of the really useful sou
venirs hat affectionate friends and rela
tives should think to bestow on those
who are going down to the sea in ship, ill
place of the useless and far more expen
sive hampers of champagne, boskets of
fruit, boxes of bon-bons and bouquetH of
flowers. A traveler with good sea* legs
eats and drinks none of the dainties, for
the good reason (hat the steamship’s lib
erally and luxuriously spread table leave*
him or her with no appetite for such mad
ness os eating between meals, while the
sea sick paasenger, so soon as the harbor
bar is passed, loaths the very sight and
smell of ponies and bon-bons.
Far better than a. bouquet of roses is,
for instance, a pretty identification locket,
without which no woman should go
abroad. It can be of gold or sliver, and
on the inside are sockets to hold slips of
paper. On one is to be written the lady's
full name, with her home address; on the
other the name of her banker in Europe,
and the hotel or pension at which she
may be stopping. The locket can be worn,
round her neck o. on her watch chain,
and is a safeguard in caxe of accident.

To use his owi* language, Dr. J. D.

Dr. Fields was a gallant Confederate sol

to lay him away when he had breathed
his last, which they thought would be
but a short time. Such. however, was
not the c.jse He revived, and his fel
low-soldiers removed him to the house
