Woman's Fanny Waist.
The waist with the open front is a

The excellent May Manton model Illus

both to the odd bodice aud the entire
costume and to almost the entire range
of dress materials, crepe de Chine, al

As shown, It is of foulard, showing
white figures on a soft gray ground,

to the lining at the right side, being in

with a big ornamental collar and close

A (iooil Investment.
It Is a (food Investment to purchase
n sunahade of good quullty silk. Tbe
cheaper grades of silk look smart In
their first using, but wben tbe fresh
ness wears off you see flue creusea and
even cracks. If an expensive parasol
costs because of Its Hue trimming or
flouncing tt Is an expensive article. But
if It costs a dollar more than you ex
pected to pay and is of a stout silk,
you may consider tbe money well laid
out, for next season the sunshade
look fresh and proves strong wben
you take It from Its wrapping of tis
sue paper where It has been kept.

popular plateau shape Is ot butter
colored straw. Tbe crown is low and
quite flat. Around it is passed a wide
scarf of cacbemire embroidered In
pale Persian color, a perfect little
harmony, with tbe fnlutest touch of
silver. The brim of the hat suffices to
uphold the scarf ends. They do not
hang down. Owiug to the shape of
this new lint there Is sufficient head
room. The sunke:i crown is large
enough to let the hi-lni come quite low

TABLE.
A Double Set of Toilet Brushes and Other
Novelties.
The dainty maiden has, a double set
of tooth brushes, hair brushes and nail
brushes; that is to say, two of each.
This Is not an extravagance in her
eyes, but a means of giving each brush
opportunities of being aired, aunued
and sweetened. The hair brush Is
used one week, and then retired to be
carefully cleansed and aired, not going
Into commission again until the fol
lowing week. Traveling by railway
car, or coaching or driving on an open
roud, or even walking the streets,
brings dust upon the person.
The dust cling to one's hair. We do
not wash long locks of hair as often
as we do our face and hands. Conse
quently the brush, which Is in effect
the dry bath of the hair, seems to pick
up a great deal of dust. Ilrusblng the
hair removes the dust, and cleansing
the hair brush removes it from that
Implement of the toilet, (live the
brush and comb a good sunning and
airing after they have been washed.
The tooth brush requires plenty of
air and sunlight to keep It from discol
oring. There Is a curved tooth brush
for cleaning the Inside row of teeth
and one for regular outside service.
The nail brush requires airing and
sunning Just as tbe tooth brush does.
For this reason a double set is a good
Investment. These small accessories
of the toilet should be kept In order.
They seem a clue to persouul cleanli
ness and daintiness. A young girl
should be trained to keep her toilet ar
ticle In order, to see that her brushes
and combs are clean and bright. The
tooth brush should be frequently dls
carded for a new one. A discolored
tooth brush should form no part of the
toilet articles of the dainty girl.
A fine little cumcl's-halr brush bus
lately been added to the bureau equip
ment of toilet articles. This is called
the "brow brush," but Its use Is not
conducive tosuperclliousnessnor brow
beating behavior to those likely to be
borne down by arrogant frowns. It is
simply a soft little brush Intended to
keep the eyebrows in order. Those
who have thick eyebrows ' are some.
times troubled by unruly behavior of
fine hair which will not lie smooth. It
Is recommended to brush the eyebrow
softly away from tbe nose when you
take occasion to brush your hair. Only
a delicate brush should be used for tbe
purpose.
In selecting a toilet comb run your
finger over the edge of the teeth so
that you can pick out a comb with
rounded edges to the teeth. Do not
use one with sharp teeth, with angles
to catch and break your hair. It Is of
Importance to have a comb that will
deal gently as well as thoroughly with
tbe hair. It Is not worth while at this
date to inveigh cgalnst the use of a
fine-tooth comb, for they are never
used by any one who respects tbe nat
ural growth of the balr. Choose a
comb with teeth quite wide apart, and
with softly rounded edges to the teeth.

Expert Women Paperhanaor.
An extended Inquiry has developed
the fact that Cleveland has five women
who are expert paperhanger. Two
of them are self-taught, and they are
all said to be fully as capable as any
men engaged in tbe same business.
Mrs. Charles Wolf has been engaged
la this work to a greater or less extent
for nineteen years. - She supports her
self and two boys, aged nine and
twelve years respectively.
Nineteen years ago, while living In
Rockport, some work In pstperhanglng
was needed lu the home, and Mr.
Wolf, after waiting for some time In
vain for the local Jac-U-of all-trades to
"get around," became Impatient.
"I'll do It myself," she exclaimed at
last. "I can do a belter Job tbun he
can, anyway," and she did. Neighbors
who saw her work ur;;ed her to help
them out ou needed repairs, and she
had all the work she could do.
After nioviDg to Cleveland history
repeated Itself, and Mrs. Wolf's
friends, attracted by the ue:itncss with
which her rooms were I upjied, made
Inquiries, aud learning that she was
her own paperhanger engaged her to
do their work. For fourteen years she
has worked at odd tluiv at this self
taught trade. '
Mrs. Martin McGrath is also a paper,

taught her the trade, which was bis
own. Her husband had been a soldier

and fuller of that Indescribable charm
called style, they were not nearly so
costly. The cost of dressing grows
greater every year, and tbe shifts of
fashion are prompter and more Im
perative. Where the English woman
goes plainly dressed with a serene
mind the American woman "keeps up
with the fashion," but lines her face
with anxious thought as to how It
shall be managed. Our last season's
gowns, perfectly fresh and Just as
pretty and suitable as ever, are altered
aud recut and retrlmmed at the cost
of so many dollars and much time and
hard work, not because they need It,
not because we want to, either, but
simply because Mr. Wood across the
way, and Mr. Pope In tbe next street,
are doing the same thing and they
are doing It because we aret The
truth Is, we American women not only
lny too much emphasis upon dress, so
that it take quite too prominent n
plnce In .our scheme of life, but wc
also spend too much money on dress.
Womanly Ideas of Money.
Those men who say that not one
woman In ten baa tbe money-making
Instinct ore very nearly right. Women
like to spend money, but they don't
kuow how to make It If they could
become rich lu a day, or a month, all
would try. but they can never make up
their minds to work yenra to accumu
late a fortune, as men do. Women
would much rather spend tbau earn.
. And, because women spend so much,
they are hardly ever in the field for
investing when the chance comes
along. No person can Invest unless
he ha the wherewithal. Most great
fortune have been Btarted by men
who saved and saved and saved, and
finally had a few hundred or a few
thousand dollars to Invest whenever
the opportunity should come. There
are many women who eurn good sal
aries, and who might lay by a few
huudrcd dollars a year. If they were
so minded. But that is not the way of
women. They spend every cent thev
make, aud in most cases have their
monthly salary all spent before It's in
their., haudn. A long as women
won t save, we're not likely to have
many women millionaire 'i-.'s coun
try. Success.
Fashions In Mourning.
Entire gown of crepe for either tho
street or the house are exceedingly
handsome, always becoming and rich
In appearance. When the material Is
used for a house gown there are gener
ally trimmings of dull Jet used on it;
for the street there is absolutely no
trimming, so that the beauty of the
material is seen to perfection. Crape
veils are mode of a much lighter
weight of crape than formerly, and it
Is the fashion to put them on hats as
well as bonnets, although this Is a
very new fashion that has not gener
ally been adopted. A small round, flat
hat ha a long veil that falls down to

THE COST OF CRIME.
600,000,000 Per Year to the People of
the United Rtatee.
A paper on "The Cost of Crime,"
prepared by Eugene Smith, of New
York City, for the National Prison As
sociation of the United States, ha
been printed by order of the commit
tee on the Judiciary of the House ot
Representative. In the paper Mr.
Smith seek to show what share of
public taxation Is properly chargeable
to crime. He say:
This question I generally answered
In a most summary fashion. The cost
of maintaining the prison, tho police
and the criminal courts 1 taken to be
tho measure of crime taxation. No
greater mistake than this can be made
In economics. Besides these charge
due to crime exclusively, there Is hard
ly any Item of public expenditure that
Is not, dlreetlyor Indirectly, cnlnrgefl
by reason of the existence of .crime
or that would be diminished If crime
could be exterminated. The cost of
crime Is an clement pervading tbe
whole budget of taxation and entering
as a component part Into nearly every
department of It. These composite
Items muat be analyzed, aud the share
ol each attributable to crime Is as
tiurely a part of the cost of crime as
are the expenses of jails and pcnlten
tiarlea.
. After going over the cost of mala
talnlng nn army and the sums spent
for charity, Mr. Smith says:
The cost of crime Included In taxa
tion In the city of New York gives an
average charge of over $1 for each In
dividual in It population; In San
Francisco, about $3; in the other cities
named the per capital tax runs, with
slight variation, from $3 to $3.50. The
xtrlking excess of the rate lu New
York and Pan Francisco above that
of the other cities Is explained In part
by one very Important fact: The rate
In New York and San Frunclsco In
cludes county taxation, while the rate
lu the other cities does not.
From such light as can be gained
from the reports of those cities and
from other sources It would appear
that about $1 should be added to the
prevailing per capita of $3 to $3.50 In
order to Include county taxation.
This makes tbe total amount of both
city and county taxation caused by
crime paid by the dwellers in cltU?a
average from $4 to $1.50 for each In
habitant, but to cover variations and
to make the final result a conservative,
one I should prefer to reduce the es
timate as low as $3.50 per capita.
Mr. Smith figures that there are In
the United States 250.000 persons whe
make their living by criminal prac
tices. Each of these, ho argues, ha?
an average Income of 51600 per year.
He continues:
Two hundred r.nd fifty thousand
criminals, at $1000 each, represent an
aggregate nunual income "of $400,000,
000. Add to this the yearly taxation
caused by crime of $200,000,000, and It
gives the enormous total of $000,000,
000. This vast sum, exceeding the
value of the entire cotton crop of tho
United States, exceeding the value of
the entire wheat crop of the United
States, is a part of the cost of crime.
It is, all of It, sheer spoliation, without
any compensating consideration or
benen-. a terrifying Incubus upon the
industry and prosperity of the people.
There can be no stronger proof of th"
wonderful resources and vitality ot
American enterprise than the fact that
it is able to survive and endure such
desperate blood letting.
Ha Was It.
A young hopeful, who, because of a
slight cold, had been allowed to re
main home from primary school a few
days ago and whose tender vanity had
been pampered when he was allowed
to remain In bed, gave signs of marked
improvement by sitting up and an
nouncing that he had decided to write
to bis father. Pencil and paper were
brought, and as he had never attempt
ed anything lu letters quite as ambi
tious before his mother was curious to
know what he was going to say. He
pondered deeply, made many erasures
and many fresh starts, but his mother
did not Inspect the result of his labors
until with a flourish and an air ot
triumph he completed the signature.
This was what she saw when she
looked over bis shoulder:
"My Dear Papa I pretty neer had
the newmowiu. Bruno is well I hope
you are tho same. Your son Robert
Westford It."
The statements regarding the health
or the young man and Bruno were In
telllgible enough. What puzzled the
mother was the signature.
"But, Robbie," she queried, "what do
mean by 'Robert WestTord, It? "
"Why, It's this way, mamma," re
plied the young patient. "Papa, when
he signs my name for me always signs
It 'Robert Westford, Jr.' I don't know
wnut Mr.' stand for, but I know I am

cessfully resist the temptations of the
world, the flesh and the devil, and con
tinues steadfast in the belief and practice

"The whole creation shall he open to the

very good and perfect gift. Hi God to

of trouble and to bring to heaven at last.
"My Son." And if a eon then an heir, an
heir of God and a joint hair with Christ.
See Rom. 8: 17. .But these exalted privi
lege are only for those who are overcom
es. 22. "And I law." John ia carried away
by the Spirit into a great and high moun
tain (v. 10) where he is shown the holy
Jerusalem. Compare Ezek. 40: 2. This
city was a symbol of the church in glory.
It was a solid cube, symbolizing complete
ness and perfection. Twelve is the symbol
of God' people, and there were twelve
gates, on which were written the names
of the twelve tribes, showing Uiat all of
God' true follower have a share in the
city. Gold and precious stones are used to
represent the beauty, excellence and glory
of this heavenly city the church of Christ.
V. 18 21. "No temple Therein.' - The
chorch in glory needs no temple especially
consecrated to the worship of God
23. "No need of the un." For the
presence of God and the Lamb make one
eternal day. Heaven is the inheritance of
the suitit in linlit. Tho who'.e city seemed
to appear to John "like a luminous object,
sending out rays on every aide."
24. "The nations." There are inhabit
ants in heaven from ail the nations of the
earth. "Which are saved." No one will
ever enter heaven who was not envd on
earth. "In the light." Now we see through
a gloas darkly, but then face to face. "The
kings." Some of the kings of the earth
will be aaved. "Bring their glory," etc.
Everything desirable, excellont and glor
ious, is perpetuated and perfected in heav
en. V. 20.
25. "Shall not be shut." The doors of
tbe Christian church on earth are aver
opon to receive sinner who are ready ta
lorsaJM their wickedness and turn to
Christ; and the sates of the new Jerusa
lem are never shut, and those that are
sanctified will ever have au abundant en
trance. 27. "In no wise enter," etc. Heaven is
holy place, and only holy people can en- I
ter. While the gate are always open they
are guarded. The angels who stand at the
gales not only welcome those who have a
right to enter, but they keep away all in
truder. Nothing abuiniDuble iball be al
lowed to enter there. "Which are writ
ten." Those eater whose name are writ

June U-How Temperance Would Help Tran

(Temperance Meeting.)
Tbe average render of the llible will
hardly be able to flud In the reference
for this week's study whnt the ardent
temperance advocate professes to sec
lu almost nil Scripture a plen for
tptnl abstinence from nlcoholic liever
ages. The Inst verse or our reference,
which promises that ho that over
cometh shall Inherit nil things, lias it
bearing upon the topic, for temper
ance In Its broadest meaning Involves
not only the discipline of our faculties,
but tbe final overcoming of nil our
appetite aud piiKsiotiM.
The beginning of nil things for n
reformed society is with the indi
vidual. All true reforms wait on the
ludlvldunl'H mastery of himself. Now,
temperance In It broadest meaning Is
Just tbH-solf-mnstery. It I ust nl to
think of temperance only In a nega
tive way-the refraining from this or
that. Abstinence, however. Is but one
phase of true temrmrance. We should
discipline our faculties and our appe
tites nnd lmsMloiiR so thnt the V will bit
perfectly healthy and nnrinni' v
should eat and drink only what Is good
for tis, uud iu such u.intltieH as will
be good for us. We should eat and
drink us much its will be good for us.
iMery such seir-cont rolled person is a
power for good, in Ills home. In the
community, and iu the world. He
reveul not ouly the truth of God, but
lion himself.
True Temperance Is n Orent l'r...
ventive of Waste. There can he n,
doubt, that If but a portion, of what
men waste were properly used there
would not bo n poor man on the earth.
Civilization may lie marked In ll
progress by Its ability to make use or
whnt was once waste product, sinnv
great enterprise have becu built up
on the use of what wn once thrown
nwny as useless. Infinitely more can
be done by persuading each Individual
to use moderately what Is good for
him.
Not ouly does temperance irlve self.
mastery, prevent waste nnd nrnim.ti.
peace, nil of which help mightily the
cause of rigbteousmnn. but It 1 'itm-ll'
on agency to lead men into the king
dom of God. The temierate man, not
tbe victim of Intemperance, is the one
most likely to understand nnd to ac
cept the principles of the Gospel of
Christ. Ut. Paul said thnt the law
una Deen to him a schoolmaster to
lead him to Christ. True temperance
is such a schoolmaster. He who ha
