THE BEAUTY
"What flavor will yon have?" Irs been
almost as important a question the last few
days as 'What do yoa think ofJBlaine's
letter?" And it has been asked without
doubt a great deal oftener, lor women as a
rule haTe not bothered their pretty heads
about the letter, but they have universally
been interested in deciding upon a flavor
and in imbibing the soda afterward.
What a Hold upon the averace woman's
Bisections ice cream soda has, any way?
Surely the fondness evinced for this beverage
by the lair sex equals in intensity already
that of the masculines for their cijjars and
the drink u but yet in its infancy.
One Cancerous Characteristic.
It might be said of soda water, as the
temperance women said of alcoholic drink
at their institute Tuesday its greatest forte
is the power it has of creatine an appetite
Tor itself. It makes a very pleasing first ao
pearance, and improves constantly on ac
quaintance, until finally it assumes such egotis
tical tendencies that it takes full possession of
the victim, to the utter oblivion of iced tea,
lemonade, buttermilk, or any of the old-time
hot weather favorites. Fortunately, the only
serious effect the soda water habit has
Is that of lightening the purse. Were it other
wise, and should it increase In popularity In the
future as it has in the past, the soda water
problem would require the crave deliberations
of those who are now devoting time and atten
tion to the alcoholic question.
The only new syrup thus fsr introdnced this
season Is the "I don't care" kind, and it really
is a very ancient one masquerading sub-rosa.
G-ntlemen, when the drink soda, mil be es
pecially partial to the "I don't care" flavor and
bv their easy, indifferent. Innocent manner ot re
plying "I don't care" to the usual query, "What
flavor?" will deceive effectually their fair com
panions, not previously made wise on the sub
ject bimultancously with the soda water advent
Ice cream has bounded into its annual popu
larity and parlors devoted to its sale have been
filled almost constantly the past few days.
Flowers and Gardens.
Yea, verily, tee Literary Society is abroad In
the land, and Its entertainments are a pleasing
forerunner of the graduation exercises that
come later. Several ot the High School variety
have lately been given, and numerous more are
on the docket in Pittsburg and vicinity.
Botanical excursirns are likewise popular just
now, and the caj students find great pleasure
in roaming tho suburban bills and vales in
search of the new and the rare in botanical
specimens and earlv flowers that may be trans
planted into the cardeu.
Barun says "God Almighty first planted
garden," and, indeed, Its cultivation is tho
purest of human pleasures. It is the greatest
refreshment to the spirit of man, without
which buildings and palaces are bnt gross
handiworks. And amateur garden making will
be lolloned quite extensively in 1'ittsburg this
'er, not alone by students, but by everyone
who can indulge in it. The old-fashioned
n iwer garden, with the old-iashloned Dowers,
is being resurrected and will occupy many a
spare moment with the youthfnl element of
society who will cultivate asters, phlox, pe
tunias, cosmos, calhofsis. portulacas, mignon
ette, sweet alvssum, candy tuft, balsams, pop
pier, pacsles and pinks, all of which blossom
the first year; and sneet-wilhams, hollyhocks,
fox glove, and similar plants for blooming th
second year. Valley lillie, too, will have an
honored place In most gardens, and sweet peas
will be great favorites: the latter, by the way,
bv experienced gardeners were planted during
the Meek fcr blooming in July and August.
The Implements Are Distracting-
A feature of tho amateur gardening, war
ranted to drive to distraction one who doesn't
possess at least a few feet ot ground to dabble
In, is the line of garden implements manufac
tured for Jus: such cultivation of the soil.
Delicate and fragile in outline, with well pol
ished steel and handles, they are tantalizing.
Indeed, to a lover ot the garden denied the
pleasure of havi.g one; but some lit
tle gratification may be gained by
defying Russell In decorating them with
gilt and suspending them with gilt rope from a
corner of one's own sanctum banctorum. A
certain young gentleman in the city, who de
lights in calling himself a bachelor, though I
don't believe be is long out of his teens, has so
bung up the shovel and the hoe and declares
lie reccnesa mint of consolation out ot the
tact.
hat luxur.ous mortals single men of the
present day are, and how their "dens," as they
call their rooms, remind one of Oriental mag
nificence and glory. Their apartments lack
no hing that suggests comfort, elegance,
cae and many articles of furniture are
now being made expressly for tbeir
use. Among such is a wine cabinet, that in it
self must be a temptation to remain single. It
is, this year, of the "'Louis" style and is so ar
ranged that It holds a goodly supply of wine
and a number of glasses with a place on the
top for several decaliters. 3 o the ordinary ob
server it would appear an unusually handsome
writing desk,but appearances are deceptive oft
times. Itiso of the Chaffing Dish.
Another article that is in the "den" of almost
every nnmarried man of the present day is the
old-fashioned French chaffing dish. It Is a
three-story arrangement, something after the
Etle of a French coffeepot, and with an alcohol
stove underneath is ready for all sorts of mid
night lunches. A recipe book goes with the
oiali containing hundreds of recipes for enjoy a
blo things. that nu) bo cooked without the
least cltortand without the annoyance of a
Fervant. TLe chaffing dish has long been ac
knowledged an institution of great merit in
the old countrv, but has just recently been ac
cepted here. It and its virtnes are not con
fined to the bachelor "dens," Dut they are rap
id! being received into homes all over the city,
young ladies being lound among the most ar
dent aimirers "it lunch alter the theater. Not
distuning the household it is something
to ue cultivated. Another point In favor of the
cuathu' dish is that it is really very pretty and
lai.l.b that expression of half-way resoectability
t.. most useful articles have. It Is made of
suiter.
A pleasing variation to tho silver table service
that is meeting with a flattering reception
among the wealthy is the gold dinner service.
It is not intended to take tho place of silt er.
but to be used occasionally to vary the
monotony of silver. Very pretty effects may
be gained with it, and it is not so dreadfully ex
pensive, for it is not always "solid gold" you
know.
New Gold Decorated Glass.
A new gold decorated glass is designed to be
used with the gold service Instead of the cut
glass, and is of most exquisite beauty. But
three sets have arrived in Pittsburg, and it
may be said to Pittsburg's credit that
one of the three was the first
received in tho United States. The
Venetian, Bohemian and French were repre
sented respectively In t'ie three sets. Nothing,
according to an acknowledged authority on
such subjects, has eter been Introduced for
the table equal in delicacy and beauty to the
cold decorated glasses. The banquet table for
a June bride is to be laid with the gold service.
Including the glasses.
There are to bo several very charming June
weddings, by tho way, and some earlier ones,
amoug tbem that of Jllss Clara Morgan and
Mr. a B. Shaw, June 11. and of Miss Mary
CLalfant and Major McEee, of the Arsenal,
some time next month.

"The Old Celor Guard," father of all recent
military dramas, will be put on the stage of one
of the Pittsburg theaters next winter by Post
IK, of Mr. Washington. It Is said to be the
finest drama written growing ont of tho War
of the Rebellion. Post 155's presentation will
be decidedly novel in one particular. Ihe Con
federate characters will all be Interpreted by
ex-Confederates. A number have already vol
unteered, add these say that epoueh can be so
cured in the vicinity to complete the cast. They
are actuated solely by a desire to aid the post
in its work of charity.
One of the strong points of the play is a
prison scene in Libby. A Union prisoner, too
weak to fall into line to receive bis rations,
manages to drag himself to a window to get a
last look at the sun. He is ordered to leave the
window by a guard, and before he has time to
obet, is shot dead. Grand effects are secured
in the fighting between the Unlon and Con
federate forces, all of which is done In the
mountains of Tennessee.
Handsome Memorial Volumes.
Post 123 is soon to be presented with three
handsomely bound memorial volumes contain
ing S33 richly engraved pages each. In tbem
will be recorded the war record of every mem
ber of the post, from the first charter signer to
the last one who may join. There will be a
page for each comrade.
There will be pages for the presentation camp
fire, for the resolutions passed uoon the death
of each comrade, burial' record pages .and a
page for tho last meeting of the pose Each de-
Eartment of the work will be headed by a
cautifully designed and engraved military
emblem,- and the volumes will be bound and
embossed in the, richest manner. The work
will cost S325. It will be formally presented at
an open campfire, to be held soon, on behalf of
iurs. j. ai, uusjty.
A similar work will soon be presented to Post
83 on behalf ol Spang, Chalfant & Co., and
others.
18th Regiment's Anniversary,
Lait Friday was the thirtieth anniversary of
the departure ot the old Thirteenth Regiment
for the field ot battle. An attempt was made
to have the survivors turn out on parade, but
circumstances conspired to render the attempt
unsuccessful. About 00 or COO of the members
survive. They went to the front 1,500 strong.
This regiment was the original Washington
Infantry Comrades William Turner and
Morris tried to arrance Hie parade. They say
that hereafter tho anniversaries will be cele
brated with reunions in this ciiy. A number
of the survivors living elsewhere were in town
on Friday talking over old times with resident
comrades.

only apply to minors n ho were pensioned under
the old law, and who were under the age of IS
on Juno 27, 1890, and all such children as may
be pensioned under that act. None over 16
years of age can be pensioned, nor any who,
having been pensioned, were over that age on
June 27, 1SV0.

A HOVEL OCCUPATION-.
Breaking In Shoes is Now a Regular Paying
Business.
"Wearing shoes is my business," ssid a
New York woman the other day. "It be
gan in this way. A soboolmate of mine had
the good lack to marry a wealthy man. She
had always suffered from tender feet, and at
school I used to break in her new shoes for
ber by wearing them a few days. Stretch
ing on a last won't serve the same end, be
cause a last cracks without softening the
leather; there's nothing like the tread of the
foot to do that.
"Well, when my friend married she in
Blsted on my accepting from her a trifle for
breaking in her shoes. I named 0 cents a
pair. There were other women to whom she
mentioned her idea, and about half a dozen,
who wore the same number as I do, gave me
their custom. Gradually my queer little
basinets increased, so by the time my
daughters grew np I never had to buy shoes
for them or myself, and I often employ girls
outside when my customers' sizes do not fit
any of us.
'I keep the bnttons on the shoes In ad
dition to stretching them when new. I
charge 10 cents for putting the buttons on,
no matter how many or how few there may
be to replace. I also brush and put shoe
polish on tbem. The charge far this is 25
cents, and the shoes are sent to me and
called for. Yon see the pay is "very small,
but it helps me dress. For years I think
I stood alone in the business, but now the
visiting maid includes the care ol shoes in
her duties, so that, bnt for having my own
patronesses, she wonld cat the gronnd from
under my always new-shod feet."
DRESSMAKING BY H0DEL.
A. Plan of a Society Queen That Might Be
Adopted With Profit.
New Tork WorldJ.
Mrs. August Belmont, Jr., who has ihe
reputation of being one of the best-dressed
women in Now York society, has a plan of
operation which recommends Itself for gen
eral adoption. Living much ol the time in
ber 'country house and finding it incon
venient to come into town every time she
was having a dress made, it occurred to her
to have a duplicate figure modeled after her
own. The body when completed was cov
ered with a soft cloth suitable for pinning
on lining, trimming and drapery.
It cost the lady either J8 or $10, but It
paid for itself in car fare alone in a very
short time. Accompanying the body was a
skirt stand the same height as the model.
These two Implements of trade were sent to
the dressmaker, who has this to say about
the arrangement: "I have absolutely no
trouble with Mrs. Belmon't dresses. I
rarely seg her. She sends me word or illus
trations about the style or sleeve, drapery,or
length of the basque. I buy model patterns,
fit them to the body and send the dress home
when it is finished."
Now, while the customer who has to pay a
tailor or modiste (25 ior making a'dress can
not be expected to provide a duplicate
figure, it is an investment that will in the
end pay the home dressmaker.
KANSAS CITY'S KICK.
Protest Against the Allotment of Money
for River Improvement.
Washington, April 18. A representa
tive of the Kansas City Transportation Bu
reau called upon Acting Secretary Grant,
at the War Department, to-day and pre
sented a protest against the allotment of
money made by the Missouri Eiver Com
mission for the improvement oi the MIssonri
river. The protestants say that the com
mission has authorized the expenditnre of
$100,000 on a bend in the npper river, but
made no allotment for improvements at
Kansas City. Unless measures are taken
promptly, the work of the last two years on
the lower river, they say, will be lost, and
an allotment of 1300,000 will be necessary to
protect the channel.
Acting Secretary Grant informed the rep
resentative of the bureau that the War
Department was powerless to interfere With
the work of the commission. The law pro
vided that the improvements should be
mads in accordance with the plans of the
Missouri Eiver Commission, and the Secre
tary's function was merely to approve rec
ommended expenditures.
Kerosene Versus Wax.
The wax lights, which, as all dinner
hostesses who use tbem know, have serious
drawbacks in the way of lolling and drip
ping and getting used np, are being fre
quently replaced with the beams from burn
ing oil. At a beautilul yellow dinner given
last week tiny kerosene lamps were fitted on
branching candelabra of Russian brass, and,
softened with yellow shades, shed a beautiful
light over the table.
Portraits of General Stark.
Colonel George C. Gilniore, the historian,

Revolutionary hero. The fiist was done in

reproduction of it. They were made in 1810
by Hannah Crowninshield, of Salem, Stark

Tho Elephant Climbed a Tree.

Protect Tour Health.
Cold and moisture combined have a torporlf
ing effect upon the bodily organs, and the di
gestive aud secretive processes are apt to be
more tardily performed in winter than in the
fall. The same is true, also, of the excretory
runctions. ino Doweis are oiten sincgixb, and
the pores of the skin throw oft but little waste
matter at this season. The system, therefore,
requires opening up a little, and also purifying
and regulating, and tne safest, surest and most
thorough tonic and alterative that can be used
for these purposes Is Hosteller's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the drspeptlo ugonle, the
painful disturbances of the bowels, the bilious
attacks and the nervons visitations so common
at this time ot the year, will do well to reinforce
their systems with this renowned vegetable
stomachic and luvigorant. It Improves the ap
petite, strengthens the stomach, cheers the
spirits and renovates the whole physique.
