New York, June 15.—" There she goes!*’ whispered Maisie, excitedly, peering through the vines. '‘Why, the best-dress ed woman in this well-gowned watering 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 ing. Hers was in pastel green, a veil Incrustcd in embroidered black silk dots and big, delicate black laci' flowers laid on, and the goods was not cut out be neath. This formed the lower half of 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 ed green muslin, with rows of black baby panne ribbon running now and then be tween the tucks, and a narrow strip of black panne ran around her slender waist, ~ ARE YOU ? „ Move mk mkmk fell Suitcase?

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 shade or infinitely adorn it. That is the 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 ing who were such visions of .fresh and tidy economy in dress that I felt posi- Muslin Hats for Summer Girls. lively ashamed of my puckered and flounc ed French muslin. One sat in the sand baring her handsome auburn locks to the wind anil sun, wearing the smartest white outing cloth gown picked out in clear crim son dots no bigger than pin heads. Hey waist fastened in the back, bloused a tri fle in front and across the shoulders, from the front of the collar and over the top of each sleeve ran a strap of heavy white flannel stitched down. At the base of each sleeve a cuff of the same fell over her hand, and a belt and collar of stitch ed crimson taffeta just touched the whole 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.

"What do you think of Pastno gowns of cream white moha.r, the skirts laid In tine tucks about two inches apart and run ning from the waist to the knees, these worn with tucked waists of the same or of cream taffeta, and finished off with belts and collars of colored panne? The girla found skirts like that ail tucked and puj oh the band and ready to be hemmed up the proper length at the shops for a simply startling price. In- the evenings they wear white organdie frocks, with each a big cabbage bow, and single fringed on <! of -pastel tinted panne on the left breast, and a girdle with side knot ami fringed end to wear at the waist. Al! in white, wilh those two touches of idol, they were charming, and by means of having a black and a white and a colored set of breast knots and girdles they con trive to get at simply no outlay at all art effect of several changes of costume." 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 or muslin or net gowns, with a hat all of one bright color. A black liberty silk and a toque of pelargonium pink tucked chif fon lavishly trimmed with large silk mus- f lin blossoms of the same shade is what I mean, or you cam wear a black voil with a wide pink straw hat buried in small pink roses.’’ 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 est tucked white Swiss Short skirts re spectively of pink, white and blue linen were adopted with these, and back of those three my memory won't carry me.

"The pretties! waists I have seen have, the tidy little trimmed neck fixings that can be worn with ribbons slipped under the overturning embroidered edge or points.

Aside from these I’ve had my temptation from a win dow full of newly introduced sash scarf* of pastel-tinted liberty taffeta that is very tender of quality, but can stand up for itself. These go twice about the neck, knot in front and let fall to fringed ends ’ that are artfully fretted open with floral bouquets of cluny lace. Really, you know,” sighed the good lady as she rose at the butler’s announcement of luncheon, “there are no end to the excuses for frittering away one’s income in bewitching little trifles. One is obliged to cultivate a very si iff upper lip and close purse fastening these days when the counters fairly over flow with almost irresistible bric-a-brac of dress, as one woman dalls it.” Mary Dean. 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- An Elaborate Afternoon Costume. 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 beauty of face and form wh oh rendered her mother one of the most beautiful of women. Mrs. Grant was a blonde, of delicate figure, rather below middle sta ture Mrs. Hayes was of very attractive appearance and highly cultured, with charming manners, Mrs. Gartield was noted for her tart, and her husband once said- that he nver had to explain away anv words of his wife. Mrs. Arthur, who died before her hus band became president, was known as "the beautiful Miss Herndon with the marvelous voice" before her marriage. Iler distinguished birth, her youth, bean tv und gift of song, Joined to charming 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, Tlie Quakers Are Honest People. tThe Quaker Hart Tonic is not only • blood purifier, but m Blood maker for Pale, Weak and De bilitated people who . have not strength nor blood It acts ao a tonic, it regulate* digestion, cures dys pepsia and lends strength and tone to , g the nervone system.

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. Millicent Arrowpoint. ( nine Brick to See Ifla *‘Grn.vc.** From the Mt. Sterling (Ky.) Sentinel- Democrat. To use his owi* language, Dr. J. D. FI Ids, of Austin. Tex., who was here yea t day, “came back to see his grave.” Dr. Fields was a gallant Confederate sol dier. He fought under Col. Bob Martin, and in 1864, in a battle between Morgan s and Burbridge’s men on the Camargo i ike, near this city, Dr. Fields was so badly wounded he was left on the held of battle for dead—so fatal were hi* wounds believed to be that his comrade* dug a grave near where ho fell in which 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 r,f a Mr. Hamilton (believed tc he J. C. Hamilton, from Dr. Field’s description), ami, afier getting better and fearlrwg ha would be captured by the Federals, he was taken to Mrs. Mary Owing** (inoihfr of Mr. Joshua Owlngs), and lat r to Mr. Pres. Howard’s. After leav ing Mr. Howard’s Dr. Fields says he laid out in the brush until he was able to travel. Yesterday, accompanied by Capt. Fred Riddell at and T. H.
