Mrs. Potter Palmer is one. of the fair Americans beloved of ihe Parisian dross maker. because she Is handsome, shows off a line gown to the greatest advantage, has quite faultless taste anfl never be grudges the price of a lovely creation. She lunched last week in the gardens beside the horticultural houses in a most com mendable study in mauve. The- goods was lovely etamine, which, though made in abominated and perfidious Albion, is used in a thousand styles by the French con turieres, who can find no other light wool goods on* half so durable, cool and grace ful The skirt of Mrs. Palmer's gown was set off by double rows of cream guipure insertion about the foot, down the front, across the back and in seven bands over the hips. Both yoke and collar of her waist were made of bluette blue panne overlaid | with cream guipure, and from the yoke I fell gracefully about her shoulders a broad, lace trimmed collar of elamine. On top of the lady’s lovely silvery hair sat a hat of mauve crin, bound about the crown with one hand of black velvet, which seemed to be the stronghold of a pair of very downy plum- s of da.k.ing blue that nodded directly in front. White Gloves. It was observed, were worn with this. They were fastened at the wrist by two very big dark blue pearl buttons, and •titched, in a tone of blue to match on either back. When the luncheon was over and the lady rose she unfurled an extreme ly charming sunshade of blue taffeta, the black and white silk gown, belt and two little labs of tourquois blue, and vest of white.

At tile AinbaaNudor’a Dinner. A radiant vision at one of Ambassador , Porter’s dinner parties the other evening was Miss Goelet In white chiffon, pow dered with tiny s lver crescents. Her bkirt in f.ont had just the merest quilling of lisse and lace at the foot. At the sides this quilling grew to a full but narrow' frill, while out on the edge of her train It broke into a flounce ten inches wide, and full as the gathering thread could draw it, so that as she walked a wide wake of foamy white curled about her Louis Quinz heeh A simple but pretty toilet seen on the Paris Exposition grounds. greatly to the admiration of all femininity present. Not one evening dress In hundreds Is made without sleeves, and all sleeves, whether a casing of lace or a whiff of tulle bandaged about her arm, come to the elbow. While, however, these sleeves run far down upon the arm, they en croach not at all on the shoulder. It Is a wonder to the uninitiated how the wizard dressmakers hold these arm cas inos in place at all. but It is done by some mysterious jugglery, for the effort now is to display the whole slope of the shoulder and full width of ohesL It Is at the moment a very pretty fashion for rlrl In full evening panoply to wear a stoe’k of tulle tied about the neck and a vast cabbage knot of the light fabric massed under one ear.

I'rcttcy Children at the Big: Fair. It does not take long for n beauty-lov ing woman to detect the charm and sweetness of the juvenile fashions, as dis played by the short-skirted, short-trous ered contingent at the fa r in this glow ing weather. A group of three young sters on the moving platform the other morning were enjoying their sensations to the fullest extent of their unjaded lit tle minds, and in happy, childish igno rance of the trammels of line feathers. The eldest girl wore a smartly figured foulard in coral red on a sympathetic creamy ground. A cream white batiste embroidery decked her skirt and waist where an edging was needed, and yoke and sleeves were made of ba’tiste In the same tone, prettily diversified by lines of single beading. A Mg bow of red spotted foulard ribbon bed itself jauntily erect on the front of her cream straw hat, and with her black hose and black and white ties she was as ingratiating a figure of sweet eleven as could be found. Her little brother, in all the comforlab’e bravery of crisp French blue linen, stood beside her. He wore dark blue half-hose and high buttoned shoes, with uppers of material that exactly matched his suit. Over his shouMers and back from his chubby hands turned a wide collar and deep cuffs of white linen, embrollered in blue, while a dark blue silk tie and 'leather belt of the same color matched the riobons on his cream straw hat. Gripping one of the wooden staff sup ports was the little sister of the trio, all in baby white. Tucks and a judicious temperate use of white embroidery gave her gown just the proper air of elegance, while her white hat bore a couple of white feathers and a decorative knot of ribbon on its high rolled pompadour crown. Numbers of children seen In the fair grounds wear brown Holland gowns smartly piped in a colored linen, and made after the newly revived empire mode. A sweetly artistic miss, gazing with ten-year-old appreciation at restless residents of the dqustrium, wore, a pale tan linen suit piped in blue. The girdle of stitched blue iinen c.aught her just un der the arms, and her hat was of tan linen, trimmed with stitched blue linen bows. On a day when the mercury touch ed the blood heat mark, she looked the coolest and most suitably dressed little woman in the languid and perspiring crowd . Rachel Dunning. Chinese Indifference to fain. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Avery curious thing about the Chinese is their indifference to pain.'' said Dr. E. Z.

"We do a great deal of surgical work in the great City Hospital conduct ed by the united missions at Canton, and it was at first supposed that there would be endless trouble in persuading the na tives to take anaesthetics, but the doctors found, to their surprise, that anaesthetics were rarely needed, and that their pa- MAUVE FTAMINB Trimmed with bands of cream guipure lace.

I have fancied that he is jierhaps the hummer I once and released. I found him one morning—if. Indeed, he !o the same one—in a nest in an orange tree, obout thirty feet from ihe tree he now occupies—a strange object looking more like a fuzzy spider than a bird, and lucked away in a nest made of moss and the fine parts of seeds. As I stood lo< king into it the little bird* heard me, and thrust up their open mouths in a c. tucal fashion, and, think ing them hungry, I got some sweetened water and fed t em with it, us.ng a smal twig for the venose. While I was doing this the mother bird returned, and buzed around my la e in a threatening manner and when 1 withdrew she alighted and covered them, sinking down gently up<x them. In this way she was photograph ed. and when on the noet would permit me almost to touch her without moving Every day I fed the young birds with su gar and water, and Anally they would hop to the rim of tho rust when I apptoached, never displaying the slightest evidence cf fear. They now began to take lessons In flying The parent bird would sit on the nest or on a twig near by, and use her wrings making the humming sound, but not ris ing; and this the little birds imitated, clinging to the nest wfith their delicate feet. On the second day I noticed that they rose into the air five or six inchei during this exercises, and, believing that they would soon leave the nest, I cut off the twig which held it and carried it, with its two occupants, into the house, fastening it in the window. The follow ing day the birds left the nest and be*a r to follow me about, and at once became the most beautiful of pets. They were ab solutely without fear, and constantly darted about the room, searching for tiny flies on the windows or in the flowers Very soon when called they responded, and when a linger was extended alighted upon It and wiih charming naivete, kitting and eyeing the persons with their liny beadlike eyes with perfect confidence Bob frequently came to the table at meals, and would perch upon the sugar bowl. clinging to the handle, down which he slowly slid, to flutter up again. To describe ell the actions and tricks of these beautiful creatures would require much space, as nothing could exceed their grace and vivacity. At night the humm ng blrds retlrel to a dark closet, roosting on the edge of a basket, never attempt ng to thrust their big heads and long bills be neath the diminutice wings. Here they slept all night, and in early morfting wouH fly out into the room and awake me by hovering in the air just ov*r my face fan ning it with their wonderful wings. Some times I would pretend to sleep on. but th birds kepi humming, with an occasion* twitter, until I opened my eyes, tvhe their activity was redoubled, and nothini could have been ptjatner than their ac tions'.

Then they would alight on my finger es I held it out, and eye me with approval, and cl low me to go to sleep again, if I wished later, perhaps, following me down sta r to sit on the sugar-bowl and be regaled with more nectar. Delightful as were these pets, it wa manifestly a hard fate to be imprl* ned s near the flowers and growing verdure; an so it came about that the hummers ob tained their liberty.

A Guide's Tale ,f tlic SpauiKli Killed In I’nradoues Pass. From Forest and Stream. A correspondent writing from Cuba tells this incident of (he famous Paradones Pass, in the Cubitas mountains: We discovered the pass without much difficulty, and spent the remainder of the afternoon in riding through it and gazing upon its beauty and grandeur. It is a rift (doubtless volcanic) !u the solid marble of which the mountains appear to be com posed. It is a mile or more in length, and of a width Just sufficient for a wagon road, with a margin of a few yards on each side. Beyoeid this margin rise the sheer walls of marble to a hight which I will not at tempt to slate, as we had no means of measuring, but it was a long way to the op. The margin on each side of the trail jrew thick with tropical vegetation, and ven in many places along the vertical rocks trees had succeded in attaching ihemselves to crevices, and while putting -tern and branches upward like ordinary reef, had also put vertical branches down ward toward the ground. I suppose these were of the nature of roots, but they ooked just like ropes; and taking it all -ound the walls were in great part ob scured with vegetation. This greatly en hanced the beauty of the scene, end we all gazed with delight upon a sight the like of which we had never seen before. Twenty-two years ago or thereabout, In the Ten Years' War. a Spanish column of roops was surprised in this pass by Cu •an insurgents, who lined the edges of the llffs and hurled down stones upon them . fter the practice of the Moors and Kpan h In former days, os related by Irving. There appears to be no authentic accont >f the number killed, but it may have been onslderable. We Interrogated our guide ibout It on the following day. He was ,n aged Cuban of unusual spirit and In elligenee, a master of the machete ond t thorough woodsman. He told 11s that 'he tradition of the massacre of the Bpan sh was Indeed true; that he himself was one of the Cubans who had thrown the stones, and that many Spanish ware killed. All this was ex tremely Interesting to us; we had al ways heard of this massacre, and here we were at last on the Very ground and talk ing with one of the men who did It. We pressed him for facts, particularly ns to numbers killed. He replied in the Span ish way, "Oh, many, many.” 1 asked him If he thought a hundred. He said probably more, and we let the matter drop for the time being. The guide bore the usual appearance of poverty and desti tution, hut on the strength of his employ ment as guide, vthleh was doubtless un usual, he had Indulged in a bottle of Ja • malca rum, which he pressed on us with great liberality, and of which ho partook himself copiously. After one or two tum blers of the scorching beverage had been turned down his aged throat, he became more communicative, ond I asked him again about the number of Spaniards killed; he now replied that It. was over W. Later, about the time the rum was en tirely consumed, he was again asked. *nl he said "more than 300.” Finally, on eur return to camp, when we settled with him for hla services, we were so pleased with him—for he had really given us a most In teresting day—that we gave him a dollar more than his price and invited him to dinner with us. Thl* seemed to have tom pletely warmed the cookies of his heart, and he showed his appreciation of our at tention In the only way possible to him, viz . by Increasing the number of Sp.tnlah killed In the Faradone* Pass, for on cne of the packers asking him about this time at to the number, he replied with great gusto "More than a thousand." ■ajTl—.,'aKueqa u >Bt( 1 ■*op e ui„ ’Aldas am sum ueui •B ui„ apnßisJD o) Ajotnarc p|Bs ..ipapt -miat ajß sm oah nq* inis Spunks lor list 480 Courtland Ave., Atlanta, Ga„ April 36th, 1900 Columbia Drug Company, Savannah, Ga.: Gentleman—lt gives me pleasure to heartily recommend "Infant-Friend Powder,'' and to give to you a singu lar little coincidence connected with It.
