EKiS! -"!lfP 57-7 trn'mwsiwx "mw-- rri&fiw; tYJirxy vQ y THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1891. 12 WHAT iS THE A PROBLEM OF LIFE "Deep in the heart of tlie noble man it lies fore cr legible that as an invisible j ust God made him, bo Mill and must God's justice, and this only, -nero it never so invisible, prosper in all controversies and enterprises and battles whatsoever." Fast and I'.-tsait. "iry dear boy, you arc fogging your mind with that antiquated copybook .masim, which commences with honesty end ends with policy. It reveres the true order of ideas, and, like ino-t proverbs, involves the fallacy of an insuriieient induction. As a universal proposition, it is a gross de lusion, hire, in the City of Iondon, at the latter nd of the Nineteenth Century. You talk of leaving me, because forsooth, I have just told you that I am unable to replace thee trust moneys wo were speaking of, and if now called to meet my liabilities I should be, it is admitted, several thousand on the wrong side. But what then? There are hundreds in the city in the same position; scarcely any one knows; I shall retrench, you must put up with a smaller salary, and in time I shall pull through. You are under no liability not a partner, and your objection to continue tilth me, merely because the force ot circumstances lias compelled me to make ue of other people's money, is purely morbid." Xhe speaker wa an elderly gentleman, with white hair and of imposing appearance, who twisted his gold ejeglasses throughout the conversation, which took place in the inner tanctum of an eminent firm of city notaries, of which he -aas the last survivor. Tin boxes pud bundles of papers were strewn about, and the very atmosphere was redolent of wealth and rc-pectability. "But suppose," answered the other, "that you were asked for particulais of trust-iu-Testmeuts, or a creditor died or became bankrupt, or the money Intrusted to you were requiied, the rottenness of the whole position must iuet itablv become exposed. And, to say nothing of the risk, I leel it wrong to be mixed up in a practice tainted with such doings." "Precisely!" retorted the other. "Let us consider your very respectable scruples. In the first place, it is exceeding ly unlikely that these things should happen. My position is so unimpeach able that none dream of asking questions. If they do, a wave of the hand, and they apologize. True, circumstances may expose the situation: but wc are all liable to acci dents, which ionn the saltof business andadd a pleasurable excitement to city liie. Be sides, look at it from your point of view, what are yo to do should you leae me? You can't start tor yourself, tor 1 have all the connection; your prospects of earning a livelihood as a clerk ma new situation at your time oi life are very remote. AVhat iiill your wife and child do? I have 0UI3 1 hold up my finger to find a score in your place." "1 think," replied the other, "you should Irave cHenmcan insight into jour posi tion when Ilold vou 1 wasabout to marry." "That would have been prema ture from my point of view, and 5 not the question now. "Well, I assure yoli I entertain nothing but the kindliest of feelings toward ou, and I am advising yon s-olely in jour own interest; but, re member, "that if w e do part it will come to nfiVht between us, and it will not be I wlif go "to the wail. It will be commonly thought vou have been dismissed, and 1 don't tee Low jou are to remove the im pression. On the other hand, 1 shau't'live a great man j- years, then there will be a Surly as-ured" position for j ou, however twugli it ma j- be oil tome, who "will be much nsuinisbed at the amount my personalty will be t-w orn under. "Well, vcu had better consider matters, and let me know what you ttilldo." Hie young man assented, and left the room. Sliddlc-agcd Londoners will remember a city chess report extant some 20 years ago. A series of long narrow rooms, on different levels, led from one to another, where, upon mded floors, old wooden armchairs, -flanked tables of age blackened oak, upon which j ard-long cljj pipes were dis tributed lor the ue of customers, stained windows cast a half light upon the caned work on the walls and ceiling. The place was very old. and, tor ought I know, Ben .l.ir.son and bhakespeare may hae (Hilled there in wit C"inli.tt, and certainly Puritan and Georgian shippers and merchants must have smoked their pipes in its rooms through sjoee'.sive generations. A gorge ous palace now occupies the spot, replete with marble, upholstery and encaustic tiles, where chess still fiounshes, but I never go. The garish splendor overwhelms me, and I miss the dim light of my old-fashioned re port. About the time when this old place vanished, another antiquity also toK its departure. I mean the old Guildhall librarv; it, too, consisted of a range 01 rambling narrow rooms, darkly-wainscoted, old, dusty and dirty, but infinitely preferable to its palatial substitute. I suppose want cf sp.ice made the removal of the library a necessity, but I could never understand whj- the cor poration must needs destroy the building. -.Those who knew it can imagine the chess room. At the latter our young friend used to play after office hours, and thither lie now resorted. He took his seat, sick at heart, in n corner alone, and pondered upon the bewildering dilemma, upon one horn of which he must impale himself Should he t-tay with a principal guiltj- of embezzle ment and fraudulent breach of trust, or turn out with a very shadowy prospect of find ing employment foi himself, and livelihood Sor v if e and child? Presentlj an old gen tleman, with wlum he often "plaj-cd chess, appeared at the do;r, peeied in, "and seeing liim, shuffled up thcrooa witii slow and limping steps, as if his feet w ere tender. A I'avorite attitude was standirg with both sands stretched forward, resting upen his tick. After the usual greeting they put the chessmen in their places fer a game. The chessmen of this establishment were the largest I have ever seen, and tin boards corresponded in s.ze. Playing there with men which would hive supplied formidable weapons to an adversarj-, comprised no little bodily as well as mental exertion, and perhaps added an attraction to the place. They have long been superseded by Staun ton's natty and now monotonous pattern, and I should be glad to sic again my old frirnds. There are chessman still at Purs uit's room resembling them, but not so large. j he old man sat down, blinking at his companion out of brown eyes, whose pupils teemed on the point of disappearing under the upper lids, b-aviug a crescent 01 white underneath. His long oily hair hung down ;:i their thm black w lsns. He smiled over b's thick ur.&er-lip, and was in short a rather lli.bbj. kindly-looking, elderlj Hebrew. 'Che ycurg man nattered himself that he was iv mean player, but wa greatly tau- lalisea lu plaj nig ,ita tnxs adversary, over whom he itely gained an advantage." Tho oid Jsiacli'e did not play what is called the iookpaue, but chose an apparently eccentric mid purposeless siyle, seemingly without object, till the other found fiis position rendered hopeless by some out-of-the-way move. His iavorite piece was the king's bisaop's pawn, whic.l, curiously cnougn, constantly came in the oppoueni's way, causing hideous entanglements, and thongh the y.iujg man-often concentrated attack on this ira, he could seldom capture it. The old 11.111 puij'iii quickly and without appar tnt effort, and his adversary sometimes sus pected that w lieu he was allowed to win, Lis opponent was laughing at him. The came proceeded, and naturally our youn iriend plajed worse tnan usual. His ininu wes indeed chiefly brooding over the hideous revelation so cynically made him, and thiniiug of bis poor young wife, and their little osby boy, who would climb up in his arms, and steady fciniielfby clutch ing hold of Ills father's hair, dabbing his little wtnde-inj fist into bis eye. At RIGHT MOVE? IN TERMS OF CHESS. length the king's bishop's pawn mated him, notw ithstandiug his usual struggles to cap ture it. and the old gcntlemin remarking that the other was not in his usual form, they desisted from playing, and for a time sat in silence pulling their Ions clay pipes. Later on the elder began to talk,and grad ually drew from his companion'Jsome ac count of his troubles. He listened to the end, and then knocking out the ashes from his pipe on to the table, said: ".My dear young friend, I have always liked your looks, and am sorrv to hear your account, but there is a deal of " truth in what your employer says. Front what I know of the world and that is not a little he may get through his difficulties, and be admired by the average man of business for his cleverness, and I am sorry to think you are in a very difficult position. However, there is no occasion to lose heart, and you will find that assistance will come from quarters least expected. You are threatened w ith a bad check, and this mov e niaj- win or lose you the game, but vou know that a pawn may be some times stronger than a queen, and with a little courage you may yet win your game; indeed, the chessbon.-d is a picture of our life, and in difficult circumstauces I often fancy myself consulting the ches-men, who know more about such matters than you may think." He paused awhile, and then continued, fixing his eyes steadily on those of the j'oung man. who in turn gazed at him half fascinated: "Mere pawn you are, and pawn you must remain, but you shall at "least study pawn-life in a d ffer ent sphere. Imagine j-ourself to be this pawn," holding one up as he spoke between ins finger and thumb. "It has been in as difficult positions as yours before dow, and vet it queened in the end." As he spoke, his form seemed to dilate before the eyes of his companion, whose senses, as it were, retired to an immeasurea ble distance within his body, and the world outside, of whose existence he was conscious rather by intuition than by sight or hearing, finally vanished into infinity. "Eh! dearme.whereaml?" he exclaimed, as his consciousness returned. It was certainly the same room, but how vast it had grown, and he found himself .done, and seated on what must, have been the edge of the table, with his legs bauging over an abyss. The tables pre sented huge expanses, vanishing in con verging lines into the distance. His coffee cup had crown into a huge vat or I ;un, into which he could just peer by stand riu on tip-toe and grasping the edge with both hands. A lunib of sugar fallen by its side was now a block, from which a statue might have been carved, and an inexplica ble hollow tube, long as a scaffoll pole, proved to be the stem of a tobacco pipe. All thj lights were out, yet he was not in dark ness. Several yards away was a large dais, or structure, elevated about two feet from the table, and paved with black and white slabs. There were chessmen upon it as large as himaelt, but there was a look of intelli gence in their heads. "Why! it was nothing but one of the chessboards which had giowu with the size of the room or had he diminished? He cannot tell to this day. His principal feeling was curiosity to see what was going on, and as he approached the board, the clock struck, and he heard the sound of music, upon which the chessmen suddenly began to stir and to change, and then ranged themselves into their two lines, moving to the music with military precision, and saluting one another as they met. There were four knights in plate armor, four bishops with lawn and crozier, kings, queens and castles and a crowd oi peasants of all descriptions, among whom, dressed as one of the daintiest of maidens, he recognized his old friend the w bite king's bishop's pawn. The set w as complete save one pawn, and an imperious summons, which he felt no power to disobey, impelled him to occupy jhe vacant place, and, looking round, he found himself differ ing in no respect from his companion pawns. The kings and the pieces treated him with contempt, but the pawns hailed him as a brother, and the white king's bishop's pawn smiled a recognition from the oppo site arniy. Was it fancy, or did the black king strongly resemble the old man? Presently, a note of the music, and he was summoned to make the first move of the game, and found he had no volition but to obey. His advance was answered by the enemy. It was not a game he had ever seen before, and was played so rapidly that it was rather a dance than a game at chess. Before he had time to accustom himself to the novel crowd bj- which he was sur rounded, and prevented from comprehend ing the scheme of the game, he felt a light tap on the shoulder, and with a smile and a courtesy the white king's bishop's pawn in formed him that lie was her prisoner, and, with strange feeling of defeat and mortifica tion, he found himself retiring from the game before it had well begun. He walked off the board and watched the play from the outside. Presently, the same pawn who had captured him came trip ping across the board, and stepping off it, sat down by the side ot her prisoner, on the edge of the board which lornied a convenient bench. She looked up sideways with a smile, and began: "I am taken soon after j-ou, you see, and you are avenged, so we have time for a chat while the game continues. We don't need an introduction, since we have so long known one another, and I have ofteu wished to speak, but you never came here before to plaj-with us in the hours when w e come to life. You loom so large above ui, and I have so longed to know who and what jou are." He "wondered what his wife would have said could she have seen him so intimately greeted by this rather tneatrically attired QGmsel. "I am delighted," he replied, as gallantly as he could, "and your company more than compensates for my capture; but how comes it that you are so soon taken? My experi ence is that no power on earth can take you." "I an: sorry to have given you so much trouble now and in the past," she replied, "but may we not be some of those things which are outside of your philosophy?" "It is from the heavenly region certainly that j-ou hail," he replied. "But do you net find it wearisome to be so soon out of " he was going to sav employment, but sub stituted "the game?" "-So," she replied, "lam only a pawn, moved by some one else, and if don't play in this game, I shall perhaps become queen J5T fil in the next. But what are you, and how do you come here? Tell me about yourself." "Well, I suppose I too aw a pawn else where; and if I am not out of the game just vet, I am seriously threatened by an other piece, and "am wondering what move I ought to make. But how I came here is as much a puzzle to me as it can possibly be to you. Perhaps you can tell me who is the black king." "I must not tell J'ou that," she answered, but you say you do not know what move you ought to make. Do you then make the moves yourselves in your game? Are they not dictated to you by some one else, as with us?" , , Ideas of foreknowledge, fate,' and free will passed through the young man's mind as heanswered: "I am not quite sure about that, but it certainly does appear as if the choice of my next move rested with me." "And does your next move decide your game?" she asked. "It has very serious consequences to me and to others which you can hardly appre ciate." "Have you a bad game?" "Yery much so, I am afraid." "Can you not resign and begin another?" "We cannot resige our game so easily as you can and if we co id, we are not sure that we should quite like the next, or whether there is an--ther at all." "Don't you play one game after another, as we do?" she asked. "We really knov nothing but our one game. Some of us think we do, others say that after on game we cease to play alto gether; and others again, that atterward we are rewarded and punished for our good and bad moves; but not any one of us can tell for certain." "And how did you get into your present position?" she asked; "have you been play ing badly?" "Myposition is the result of wrongmoves made by another piece I am not conscious of any such on my part." "That is very hard that you should suffer for another's bad play," she answered; "but does not the player who is moving you take care that 'all the pieces make the right moves?" "That is another thing we cannot tell," he replied. "We do not know, as I said, whether we are being moved or whether we move ourselves." "Perhaps the player moves you badly, as you often move us amiss," she went on. "Some of us have a suspicion to that effect," he answered, "and others think that there is one player who wishes well to us, and another ill." "And if bad moves are made by one it is another who suffers for it?" she asked. "Thai is very singular. If our players make a bad move, they lose credit, not we. Are you rewarded for your good moves?" "That is also hard to saj; some of us think yes, others that our good actions will benefit the invisible choir who come after us, and similarly will suffer for our evil deed-." "That is small consolation to you," she answered. "You appear to me to be a most remarkable race of beings, chiefly engaged in injuring one another, and Jvery ignorant about yourselves. I would much rather be a chess pawn." "True," he agreed; "but do you know much more about yourselves?" "Wy, yes, we know all about ourselves; here we have been and hero we shall con tinue, playing our games, and that is alL What more would you have?" "Do j-ou often play?" "We play every nicht one game when no one els J is by, and are working out the invincible opening to which there is no de fence. When we have discovered it our task will be over, and the game of chess will vanish. In the daytime we allow you to move us about, and are vastly amused by your blunders. When this game is over I shall have to wish you pood night." "You would probably be surprised then to hear that j'ou were all made by one of us." "Impossible!" she answered; "but it will be delightful if you can tell me all about ourselves." "And j-et it is true." "You must be very good and clever beings," she replied; "wiser than ever I could have imagined, for we are made so well and we stand so straight, and our lot is so pleasant." "And yet we often play you badly. " "Yes, that is true too. You "are the strangest mixture. And did you make yourselves, as you made us?" she suddenly asked. "No, certainly not." "Then who did make you?" "Well, really! you start themostinsoluble of problems; that, again, I cannot tell you, or whether any one made us; we have differ ent theories on the subject.'" "Dear me! perhaps whoever made you is as much wiser than j-ou think, as you may be wiser than I have thought you. After all, you know so little about matters, I don't see how to advise "OU what move you are to make. "What are the alternatives?" "Either I must associate with one whose moves I think wrong, or I must leave him, with a very uncertain idea of what will happen in the future." "That is to say, as far as I understand, you must either make a move not in ac cordance with the rules of jour game, or you must make a move without knowing what will be the result." "That is about it; but the second alterna tive may be attended with very unpleasant results which do not occur in j-our game." "But it is a move according to your rules?" "Yes. I cannot say that it is not." "Ana what is the penalty if you make a false move?" "That is also uncertain: sometimes there is a penalty, sometimes there appears to be none, but some of us think the penalty will be suffered in our next game." "Well," she said, "it appears to me that in truth you don't know the result of any of jour moves, and the only rule you can have is to move according to rule." "It is very easy for you to say so who do not know the unpleasant results that may follow." "Ah! you have so little faith." "How can jou possiblj know that?" "Why, have you not often played us, and do you "think we learn nothing ot your char acters? You often lose the game from mere fyar of your opponent; and if we could only speak, how often could we show you the better game. But tell me, if I refused to move according to rule, what would you do with me?" "I should have turned you into a draughtsman, or condemned you to play eternal 'skittles.' " "What an awful fate!" she whispered, with a shudder. "But now that I know more about you," he continued,"! should send you for further investigation to the Society for Psychial lie-search." A look of interrogation. "Ah, you won't understand what I mean; but I can only answer your question by saying that those who have power over you would find the means of making vou do right, mj Socratio friend. And, indeed, I suppose that applies to myself also." "It is all very puzzling," she answered. "I am sorry you can't tell more about your selves and us. But see, the game is nearly over. Black will be mated in 11 moves, and I must say goodby. " I hope I shall see you again. Keep to your rules, and perhaps you will come back to us a king." As she spoke, the music sounded the mate, and immediately the stir and sound of animation began to die away. The pieces stiffened again into chessmen, and the young man watched the fair face of his companion fading into a wooden block. Before she was quite unrecognizable he heard a faint "Adieu! Observe the rules." "Well, have you had a comfortable nap?" was the next sound that greeted him in harsher accents, and looking round, he saw the old gentleman surveying him with a queer mocking smile of interrogation. The chessmen were lying about in their usual disarray, end everything was as of custom. The young man was too bewildered to say much, and could learn nothing of his com panion, who baffled his inquiries, and soon remarked that was time to be going home, and thej parted. One result of our young friends adventure into chessland was that next Cay he took leave of his old employer. Temple Bar. ONE HAD THE EXPEEIENCE. Lawrence Woclfel, of Allegheny, Enters Suit Against J. B. Hammer. Lawrence Woelfel, of Allegheny, yester day swore out informations on nine counts against J. B. Hammer, his late partner in the business of Ladley & Co., 507 Fed eral street, Allegheny. These informations charge Hammer with larceny, larceny by bailee, false entries, fraudulent conversion of funds, embezzlement, fraudulent altera tion and mutilation of books, fraudulent ap propriation of goods, false returns, and the keeping of fictitious accounts. jnu The pair carried on the business of mer chant tailoring, Woefel putting up the money and Hammer supplying the experi ence, until a dissolution a year ago, when Hammer assumed the position of manager and bookkeeper. Woelfel charges that Hammer has collected various accounts, and expert accountants whom Woefel called in reported that the losses from the trading aggregated $2,000. Hammer resided at Ho. 35 High street, Allegheny, and has been prominently iden tified with the North Avenue SI. E. Church. He is also engaged in the insurance busi ness under the name of J. B. Hammer & Co., and it is claimed his insurance accounts are inextricably mixed up with his mer chant tailoring entries. Hammer was arrested yesterday and placed under ?4,000 bail for a hearing. He denied all the allegations made by Woelfel, and would not say any further. EUROPE Graphic Cable Letters from all the Continental Capitals in to-morrow's big; DISPATCH. THIEVING IN ALLEGHENY. A Beaver Avenue House Entered Early in the Evening and Property Stolen. Two men entered the residence of Henry Moorhead, at 310 Beaver avenue, on Wednesday evening througn the second story window. A convenient plank from a wagon shop adjoining afforded them en trance. Mrs. Jloorhcad was sitting in the yard at the side of her house at the time, and, hearing a noise, gave the alarm to her husband, who, with other friends, occupied the front porch. On investigation the thieves were found to have laid out a stock of linen for re moval. They had been frightened away be fore they could secure anything, as it was thought, but next morning 535 were miss ing from Hiss Moorhead's room and some change from a wrapper used by Mrs. Moor head.

HOW TO SECURE A PEETTY NECK. Hints for Those Who Will Wonder What the Waves Are Saying. FASHION'S LATEST FEEAKS AND FANCIES A health writer gives some interesting pointers as to the means of securing a pretty neck. In the first place don't take ofT your corsets, but loosen them. Of course, they are not tight now, and you could turn around in them without unfastening their clasps, but untie the laces and let your long, deep inhala tions fix their size for a little while. Every night and ev ery morning throw your hands back until they strike be hind you at first 10, 3? rt."3 Mfr& K Al -."rv IT IN' .v JJ 1 w Jit-" then 20, 50 and a 100 times. With your chest held high and your eyes on the frieze of the room, take 20 full breaths, inhaled slowly and exhaled forcibly. Turn your head slowly around on the trunk one way until you see a few constel lations and then give it a few turns the other way, all very slowly and carefully, and only a few times in the beginning. You have heard all this before, says the Queen, but have you tried it? And if you did try it how many nights in the week did you for get it, and how many mornings were you too late to spend time? And while you are working thus about your neck your arms will have been growing plumper and fuller all the time above the elbows, and if you take a pair of dumb-bells and turn them sharply and vigorously in your hands, the hands down at the sides, eight times, the hands stretched out at the side the same number of times, straight in front of you, over ydur head, each eight times, you will know by the aching muscles in your fore arm that you have exercised them most de cidedly. The main point is always sustained rather than eratio effort. ' As summmer dresses, jupons lighter and more desha bille, and it may be noticed that this is the first move to ward models of the pretty morning attire to be subse- ?uently worn n the country, during the heat of sum mer. The great novelty just now, says the Season, cons sts of thin silk Blouse in or ange, blue, water-g r e e n and coral-red. advances the make of and loose bodices becomes A sleeveless mar veilleux vest is worn over these blouses; it is yery open in front, being just fastened at the top by a loose chain ending in a large fancy button on the revers. The blouse is drawn in at the waist by a similar chain and but ton. The collar, cuffs and revers are en riched with oriental embroidery on thin silk. Another equally pretty model, like wise intended for indoor wear, is made of water-greensilk,a corsage of lilac armure em broidered with silver cord supports the waist, to which the blouse coming from be low forms a long basque. The folds in front are in one piece. The Greek sleeves match the corsage in material Snd trimming. Fancy bodices may be worn with any dress, only we strongly advise our readers to choose a plain skirt, with a color harmon izing with the blouse, as for instance pink when the vest is sea-green, or heliotrope if it be cream colored. Any other colors may, according to taste, replace those we have named for blouses. "Have you seen the new net dresses? I don't like them, they are too communica tive." "Why, for pity's sake, what do you mean?" "Just what I say, they are too communi cative. You buy one, and see what a fix you will be in. I have one, and every time I put it on I wish I never had been born. Everything sticks to it. If you sit on the beach when you get up you are" covered with shells, minnows, dirt. If you chat confi dentially with a young man and get inter ested and sit a little near him, the wool from his suit clings to the netting, and every one of your friends knows right away with wliom yon have been spending your time. Oh, they are horrid things! The merchants are advertising them big, but I wouldn't have another for any money." The speakers were two women ravaging the Broadway drygoods stores for wardrobes for a season at Newport, says a fashion writer. Pleasant bodies of every style and make. are favoured by young ladies, savs the. Season. According to taste the bodice can be made of the same stuff as the dress, or in con trasting color and material. S o m c times it only re sembles a broad belt, at others it reaches up to the bosom. The trim ming may be em broidery, braid, or colered stones, either used sepa rately or together. In the gray dress in our model the bodice is made of thin silk, whilst the tight fitting parts oi the sleeves and bodice are of figured material. You are going to the seashore this sum mer. And you want a hat that will not be spoiled just as soon as the sea air touches it. So you must provide yourself with one without feathers upon it, for, as every one who has been to the seashore knows, feath ers become very dismal-looking affairs after a iittle exposure to sea air, fog and mist. A very useful style of hat is a beige straw, or'indeed any fancy straw, because it is already partly trimmed and requires but little to make it become really a thing of beauty. The open work straws are the same, requiring only a fancy bow or a gay wreath ot flowers to make them as orna mental as a heavily trimmed, plain straw hat. For your seashore hat you will find that one of the fancy straws with a broad brim, looped up at the back, is becoming, service able and dressy. Catch the brim at the back with a bow of cornflower blue ribbon. Plant a large bow of wide blue ribbon right on the front of the crown, letting the loops and erids stanJ upright in a nice smart Ash ion, wire them a little to be sure they stay in shane. and stick a gold-headed pin soine- -jyhere in the bow. Around the edge of the Ittl WL till brim run a light wreath of cornflowers in various shades of blue. This furnishes a pretty finish to the brim, and there is noth ing about the hat, flowers or trimmings that can be affected by salt air. Moreover, the hat is stylish and sufficiently out of the common to make one feel dressy in wear ing it. Neither of the hafs described has required any facing, but if so desired the brim may be lined with velvet. Striped gauze folded in small plaits around the crown and ar ranged in a huge bow in front makes a be coming trimming for broad faces. By the side of the bow a smart bunch of white satin ribbon, arranged in the form of a rosette, makes a pretty additional trim ming. Surah silk of thick quality and broadly twilled is now in great favor for bathing suits. It is claimed that it does not retain, as much water as the flannel suits, and that it does not cling so closely to the figure. Black and navy blue are the colors most used, though there are fanciful swimming suits of white surah, light blue, pale yellow, and also of mauve trimmed with white silk. The more modest dark suits cost but 510. They are made with a yoke waist and drawers in one, cut in continuous pieces or attached to the same belt; a separate skirt is then buttoned on this belt. The high necked waist has a turn-over collar in sailor shape, and a cravat of the silk to be knotted by the wearer. The drawers fall below the knee, and are 2uite wide, with a rubber in the hem to raw them into shape. Short sleeves, reaching only to the elbows, are most liked and are always used by swimmers. The skirt is gathered evenly all around, and trimmed with many rows of braid. White silk tape, like lacing strings, is set in border rows on some of the pretty blue and black surah suits, and the bodice has the collar rolled away low to show a sailor shirt front of white. The Queen. Zephyr lawn, striped white and pink, and set off with washing silk of the delicate tint is often used as lapels, neck and wrist bands. It also binds the loose fronts of the jacket with its slashed basque, together with the skirt opening, which displays a panel in either white lace or embroidered muslin in keeping with the shirt front and the deep cufls. Draped corselet in the pink silfc These draped corselets and Swiss bands, which are close fitting, are much worn in Paris with outdoor summer toilets. Leg horn hat with crown covered with wide muslin, piquet of ostrich tips, and pink ribbon bow. The newest foulards have serpentine stripes, geometrical designs, dpta forming chevrons, large spots and oval rings, though the large flower patterns and modest small figures, spots and rings are still chosen by many. Waved stripes are sometimes crossed in bars to form plaids, as pink silk with ser- Eeutine bars of green and brown, or pale hie ground crossed with darker blue and black plaids, or else the favorite ecru or biege grounds in large squares outlined with waving threads ofblack and maroon. Darker foulards are of the new Egyptian brown, which is almost red, and the chrys anthemum shades of the reddish purple that are now in vogue in Paris.

That the public appreciates the opportu nity for scientific electrical treatment af forded by the physicians of ihe Electro pathic Institute is shown by the hearty and immediate response to their printed state ments, after they adopted tho method of ad vertising in the newspapers, and by the throngs of patients who have called upon them at B07 Penn avenue. Patients are cau tioned against mistaking the name or tho numbe-. IT IS B07 PEXX AVENUE. One lady who called and placed herself under treatment the other day, said: "I have long known that the only chance for recovery I had was in electrical treat ment. Even my family doctor told me that, but I didn't know any one that I had confi dence in to go to. Friends sent me here and I am glad at last to find where scientific electrical treatment is given by scientific physicians." Enough has been said regarding the stand ing, qualifications, training, experience and skill of the physicians of the Electropathic Institute at 507 Penn avenue. Infuture that skill will be attested principally by there suits described in these columns. NO M0REM0RPHINE. Science Has Supplanted the Use of Chloral, Cromldes and Other Fatal Drugs. In this anxious, hurrying age, to no class of sufferers has onr method provedof greater benefit than to those afflicted with sleepless ness, hysteria and allied nervous affections. While Chloral,Bromide, Morphine and other drugs are carrying thousands of sufferers from nervous troubles daily to the mad house or the grave, scientific electrical treatment steps in to give all the relief and rest that those drugs have ever given, leav ing none of their baneful effects. We cite the following case: IHS03IKIA Patient a married lady 33 years old. For two months no sleep visited her without the nightly administration of 100 to 120 grains of chloral. Lost in weight from 1C0 to 120 pounds. The night after the first application patient had five hours of the quietest and most natural sleep. The gen eral Improvement continued until patient seemed in fairly good health and slept regu larly and naturally. WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHES In Eczema and Allied Diseases of the Skin .Results Tell. In diseases of the skin our treatment ob tains the most rapid and brilliant results. In nearly all cases of chronic forms on dif feient parts of the body there is immediate relief of distressing pain and ultimate cure after a course of treatment. We have had patients declare that the distress was so great they would be glad to have the suffer ing part amputated, and after an applica tion of 5 to 15 minutes would go away entire ly relieved. The relief lasts several hours, sometimes days, the pains becoming less and less until a cure Is accomplished. Eczema Patient 75 years of ago had ecze ma of the scalp. The eruptions extended over the entire portion of the head covered by the hair.'and it persisted, in spite of many external applicatlons.for nearly three months. The diseased part was covered by thick scabs, the scalp quite irritable, and at night especially patient was annoyed by tho desire to scratch. After two weeks of electrization the scabs began to dry up and peel off, and the general health vory much Improved. The improvement went on until In two months scalp was entirely free from disease. HORRORS OFEPILEPSY. Hollef and Rescue Comes in 3Iany Cases to the Sufferer. After having tried every known remedy and a great variety of doctors many sufferers have found relief from our treatment. We never had a case of epilepsy in which the intervals between attacks were not greatly lengthened and in a large proportion of cases the results are permanent and com plete cures. Epilepsy or Five Years' Stahdim Patient 30 yoars of age. Had her first attack in the night while sleeping. Was always more or less hysterical. At first the attacks occurred once in seven weeks, later once a month. Had taken bromide and chloral several years before coming under our care. During tbe month previous had three attacks. Was exceedingly nervous and despondent and it was evident if electricity did nothing else it would be of service asasedalion and tonic. After three months patient was completely cured and has not had an attack since. IS CANCECURABLE? Scientific Evidence That In Many Cases It Can So Cured. In many cases of cancer, pronounced in curable, electrization makes a complete and radical cure. Some cases of the worst form, when a cure is probably impossible, intelli gently directed currents have relieved in stantly the pain and restored the patient to comfort and approximate health. Wo cite the following Instance. Epithelial Cakcek Patient wife of a phy sician, SO years old. Growth increasing fast and patient had difficulty in walking about the house. Electrictreatmentrelievedpain. Eegularapplications during three months re sulted in the satisfactory healing of the ex ternal ulcer and a complete and permanent cure was the result. RAPIDJESULTS In Cases of Goitre and Abnormal Swelling and Disfigurements. Itapid recoveries following electric treat ment in cases of Goitre or abnormal swell ing in the neck of tho Thyroid gland near Adam's apple should merit the attention of all those who are disfigured by the disease. Attention is called to the lollowing case: Exopthalmio Goitbe Patient, a printer, three years ago observed slight swelling of tho thyroid soon after considerable palpi tation and later protrusion of the eye ball. When placed under treatment tbe gland en larged to about tho size of the fist of a 10-year-old child. A decrease in the swelling observed ten days after the first treatment and in two months tho swelling almost en tirely disappeared and patient improved in general neaitu. RELIEYINGPAIN. The Method in Severe Cases of Kheumatism Where Some Muscles Are Powerles. In its earliest application in medicine and surgery electricity has been used more fre quently for Rheumatism and Paralysis than any other disease, for tho reason, perhaps, that these diseases are often obstinate to ordinary methods. A good opportunity to seo its effects exists in cases whero the disease is so severe as to render some mus cles of the body almost if not quite power less. Hheuiatio Pabaltsis Patient boy 12 years old. Unable to bring jaws cinder to gether than one-half an inch. Impossible to turn the head flora ono side to the other without moving the entire body. Tho mus cles rigid, frequently contracting, causing great pain. On the first application of mtld current often minutes' duration, it allowed patient to turn his head with freedom with out pain, and to closo his mouth. Continued treatment resulted in retaining tho im provement and eventual recovery. The cases above cited are only a few out of many. The full particulars regarding them may be seen at the ofllces ot the Electro pathic Institute by any who desire to con sult them. 11 1M 507 PENN AVE., PITTSBURG, PA. Do not mistake the number.
