A Stylish Dress.
A dress in a stylo which promises
to be very popular in the autumn is of
softest tan color. The short jacket,
which opeiis in front to display a vest
of w-hito lace over pink silk, has six
pieces, one placed over the other like
so many little square boleros. The
belt is of the lace and silk, but a tiny
basque formed by two frills of the
cloth gives breadth to the top of the
skirt. The skirt has the same effect
as the jacket, opening in front to show
a panel of pink silk under lace and
having five overskirts, the top one at
about the height of the knee. The
neck is finished by a Medici collar and
a soft cravat of pink and white inous
seline de soio.
The Graceful Sash.
Nearly all tho dressy toilets this
season display a sash worn at the left
side, directly in front, or in the centre
at the back. Chiffon sashes accom
pany many of tho chiffon-trimmed
evening gowns, but the worst of these
airy and graceful sashes of transparent
textiles is, that after short wear,
especially at the seashore, they get
into a stringy condition that is any
thing but decorative. Sashes of Swiss,
organdie, and other muslins, as well
as those of sheer grass-linen, are open
to the same objection. In their per
fect freshness lies all the charm of
such materials, aud much greater
care is necessary to keep these in an
unrnmpled condition ' than the more
familiar sashes of satin moire and faille
ribbon.
American Kngageinont.
Tho American custom of a purely
sentimental engagement frequently
discourages all considerations of the
everyday needs aud conditions of life
that young people must meet after
marriage Tho mention of finances is
too frequently ignored.
After the betrothal the young wom
an finds herself an idol in the eyes of
her fiance, and unless she has a firm
mental equipoise and great common
sense there is danger that this adula
tion will turn her head and that she
will beoo'ue a i'ectod and coujuited.
The result, if she is a weak woman,
will be that all the selfishness thut
lies within her will come to the snr
fooe, and that in the wedded life she
will bo unwilling to assnmo the euer
getio housewifery duties, and all
probability will sink into a complain
ing, petulant woman, who missing tho
flonstantly expressed adoration of her
engagement days secretly blames hor
husband for the result.
There is no doubt that a groat deal
of the unhappincfis of married life is a
result of tha selfish bathos of senti
ment and self-adulation into which the
woman allows herself to sink during
the engagement. If she is naturally
inclined to indolence, this tendency
will bo greatly fostered, for she will
seo her life smoothly mapped out be
fore her by another aud herself de
livered from the necessity of exertion
her entire future painted in the at
tractive but evauescent "eouleur do
rose." Because she is able to sink
iuto a statu of inaction she does so,
and thus lets herself drift toward the
saddest aud most hopeless of 'cts an
empty life. Chicago Times-Herald.

Liquor and Labor.
The Department of Labor at Washington
lias been turning Its statistical attention
to the "Eeonomlo Aspect of the Liquor
Problem," with results moro Interesting
than aelentilleallv conclusive. The data
collected have the fault of Incompleteness
as well as vagueness, but the Inquiry Is
commendable, aud, If persisted lu another
year, may yield more dellnlte returns. It
la tho purpose of this Investigation to learn
bow the hat-It of drinking Intoxicants af
fects the worktngman's chances ot scouring
employment and what means wero con
sidered most"clTeetlve In deterring men
from this form of indulgence. i
Although a schedule of carefully pre-'
pared questions was gent to over 30,000 em
ployers, replies were received from onlv
7025 establishments, representing 1,745,023
employes. But It Is noteworthy that only
1(U3 employers reported that the use o"f
Itipior was not taken Into question In en
gaging men. All tho Others made Inquiry
of somo kind Into the use ot liquor by their
employes. The two chief reasous given for
forbidding drinking are to "guard against
accidents" and because of "responsibility
of position." One surprising development
of the Inquiry is that men who work at
night are less addicted to the liquor habit
than men who work at day. The contrary
Impression has prevailed. Another dis
covery Is that men who work overtime
are less likely to use stimulants than men
of more leisure. The majority of employers
noted that men were prone to drink Im
mediately after recolvlng their wages.
Apparently, the most frequent method
used to deter employes from drunkenness
Is discharge. In very many cases this Is
summary, and the knowledge ot this In
evitable punishment Is the chief reliance
for preveutlon. Sot a few employers, how
ever, adviser "education" as a means to
correct the evil. Many reported that pro
hibition laws only provokod tho desire to
drink among their men.
But tho significant lesson of these re.
turns, Incomplete though they are, Is that
the nso of liquor Is universally regnrded as
Impairing the worklngman's usefulness.
There Is In this fact a temperance lecture
of the most practical and convincing kind.
It Is to be hoped that,employers will moro
generally co-operate with this effort of the
authorities to compile statistics that may
have an instructive bearing upon tho prob
lem of most effectively restraining tho
abuse of labor's greatest enomy. New York

Drawlng-ltoom Drinking.
Last summer a strange scene took place
In a pretty garden not a hundred miles
from London. It wag early In the after
noon, and the only tenants of the garden
were tho servants, who were arranging re
freshments upon tables on the lawu. They
seemed full of nods and becks, and whis
pers of apparently mysterious import
passed among them. A carriage drives up
to the gate, and two ladles, entering, look
around for the hostess. The servant who
bus admitted them goes in search of his
mist roes, and In a few moments afterward
a very young and well and beautifully
dressed woman Issues from tho house, her
faco deeply flushed, her eyes half closed
and her gait uncertain. Just nt this mo
ment another carriage drives up, n gentle
man and a lady being the occupants. They,
too, enter the garden gate, and advance
toward the house across tho lawn. As they
approach the uncertain, swaying figure of
their hostess they look at each other sig-'
niftcantly, and the lady says lu a low voice:
"I was afraid of this. Where oan Mr. X.
be to allow her to be seen In this state?" ;
X'io painful scene was ondod by the ar-;
rival of the husband, whose look of misery,'
ns he led his wife on his arm through tho
groups of gnyly-dressed people Into the
house, touched evei the laughters with
Pity.
This Is no exaggeration of fact. It is,
unfortunately, a scene from real life, and, I
fear, not an uncommon one. Tho love of

Mill- Trnrknl by War, lint.
For several days preceding the time
that General Miles filially left fot
Cuba there wns much speculation
about tho headquarters of the army
in the Department building ubout tho
date of his departure. Inquiries were
made of the General himself, and ho
is geuerally accommodating to men of
the newspaper profession, but these
inquiries wero of no avail. Then re
sort was had to General Alger, the
Secretary of AVar, but be, also, vouch
safed no satisfactory or definite reply.
With this state af affairs it was acc
essary to resort to strategy, and
strategy successfully solved ' the
problem. It was said by one of the
old aud observing employes that ou
the day General Miles departed from
Washington a war chest, w hich is al
ways located near the door that leads
into his own ollico when he is in town,
would bo taken away. This chest
what it .contains is not generally
known accompanies him on all his
travels.
Therefore, for two or threo days
many eyes were watching the wai
chest, a square box bound with iron
bauds and painted a dark gray. At
last, on tho morning of tho day thut
the General really did leave for San
tiago the war chest was not in its ao
customod place. The newspaper men
at tho Department took the risk to an
nounce that the General would depart
for Cuba that evening, nnd it wns
printed iu tho afternoon, newspapers,
and sure enough it turned out that
General Miles did follow the wnr
chest, starting" on the journey that
took him to the headquarters tout of

Crown Chase Cat. -
"Caw! cow! caw!" shrieked a couple
of crows iu tho "nurseries" near
Chnmounix drivo in the West Tark
recently. Park guard No. 88, who
happened to be on the drive at the
time, cocked np his ears. "Some
thing wrong with those crows," said
ho to a cyclist who had stopped near
by to rest; "never heard them caw that
way unless there was something up."
The incessant cawing grew louder and
closor each momout. Suddenly out
from a bunch of small troes dashed a
big black aud white tomcat, ruuuing
as fast as ho could. Two infuriated
crows wero hovering him, taking turns
at swooping down upon him aud
pecking him viciously with their sharp
beaks. At each httack tho cat accel
erated his Rjieed, and, with bristling
tail, simply Hew over the ground. Tht
crows pouueed upon liim unmercifully,
until finally, when the chase had al
most reached tho two surprised spec
tutors, the cat took refuge in a culvert
whioh runs uuder the drive at that
point. Ono of tho crows alighted on
the edge of the culvert, and then,
catching sight of the two speotatorp,
turned and tlew back to une tall pints
back of the nurseries. "Well, what
do you think of that?" excluimed tho
guard. "Did you ever seo a trow
chase a cat before? Never? Why, a
cat can lick any kind of a bird. That
;atraust have beeu robbing their nest."

Some persons say they are never influenced by art
advertisement.
It is not expected that any one will buy Ivory Soap
solely because it is suggested by an advertisement.
If you have never used Ivory Soap, you may be
induced to ask some friend about it; should you find
as you probably will that she is enthusiastic in its praise,
then you may try it.
Millions of people use Ivory Soap ; they use it because
they like it. You too will like it. There is a difference
in soaps.
