The wreath of miniature rose that
was once so much worn has given
lace to foliage, and the mo'.rt fash

Graceful bows of velvet with a Jew

admirers.
A Cotnlnc Sralplrede.
Californlans think they possess the
coming feminine sculptor in Mis Ger
trude r. Boyle. Though a recent
graduate of tae San Francisco School
' of Design, she has already done two
busts of noted Calll'ornlans. which
every one is discussing. One is a
model of John Mtilr, the bard of the
Sierras, and the other of the late
Prof. Joseph le Conte, professor of
the University of California. The I.e
Conte bust is considered so fine that
his friends are raising money to havo
it cast In bronze to present to the
university.
The Jewel of tti Hour.
The latent fashionable little Jewel
of the hour is the "La Vllllere." Tills
n a single stone hanging close up to
the throat or collar on a fine chain,
usually made of platinum. The stone
It' a diamond or a ruby with an Invisi
ble setting, so that at a slight dis
tance It looks as If the bauble was held
In place by a magnet. This bauble
may be worn with a tailor-made gown,
tilling over the collar, or it may rest
against the bare throat. As the stone
is conspicuous because of the lack of
a setting only the best quality can be
itaefal for the Jewel.
Fanhlnns In Fob.
With the smart set girl the fob Is
taking the place of the watch-chain.
But it is only the fob which shows
originality which fluds favor In her
eyes. She care nothing for the con
ventional one of black moire ribbon
or gold links. The cupId fob Is the
Cutest. It even appeals to the girl who
Kays she scorns things sentimental.
It shows the chubby faces of two ros-
gold cuplds looking out from gold
wings, which in certain lights reveal
tints of green and pink. The winged
l.eads are connected by ronegol.1
chains and finished with a heart
charm. Woman's Home Companion.
Velvet for the Neck.
Black velvet ribbon is UBed for the
necklet, with an embroidered design
as tho decoration. Tho girl who is
skilful with her needle embroiders her
own necklet. Daisies look well on the
black velvet, and so do pink button
rnees, edelweiss and forget-me-nots.
And when the velvet band is worn
with an organdie or flowered mousse
line gown it is a pretty idea to have
the same flower embroidered upon It
that appears scattered through the
fabric of the frock.-
Wristbands are the fashion, too.
They are made of the same width vel
vet that is tied about the throat? and
tire embroidered to correspond with it.
They fasten with a very small patent
clasp.
Scented Oowne.
Paris lias offered us the costly ex
travagance of scented dinner gowns.
For the lover of scents the fad Is at
tractive, but to others It ta more
disagreeable than the scented hand
kerchief. Sachet powder is used for
1he scent, not In the lining, but in the
little bags which are sewn in conven
ient places on the gown. The Parisian
fad Is to stuff the hollow Just at the
front of the shoulders with a bag
in which there is a great deal of vio
let sachet, and a few little bags are
concealed In the stock. It Is not the
correct thing to use always the same
perfume. One day a violet odor, next
day cut rose, next day something else,
end so on through the list of sweat
smells. The Parisians match the lin
ing of their gowns to the odors In their
sachet bags.
Faahlenabe Mm?m.
Nothing Is more fanciful at present
than sleeves. They have grown much
larger, but they do not take tip the
room that the sleeves of some years
ago were wont to do. They are fitted
closely to the arm above the wrist
and sometimes have tiny little turnded
, back cuffs at the wrist or a couple of
frills of lace.
There seems every probability that
tlbow sleeves will be worn out of doors
wUb long gloves, but then the lace
must descend la deep ruffles outside
the arms.
Many of the sleeves are puffed, the
puttings divided by band of embroid
ery, and thai short sleeves have nearly
all of them two or three bands on the
bboulders, the sleeve Itself beginning
Rome Inches below and thence reach
ing almost to the elbow. Occasion
ally these short sleeves between the
nhoulder and the elbow display
wreaths of flowers. Black velvet Is
Introduced pretty well everywhere.
The Summer Girl.
You cannot be a summer girl this
year of grace In a linen suit, and a,
shirt waist, with a simple sailor atop
your lowly head. (
You. must full ud frill, tuck and
curd, lace and embroider until you
have driven 'away the accusation of
simplicity as well as the look of se
verity from your material. The sum
mer girl tit an ambitious daughter.
Tet there are those who assert that
there are two styles of summer ghi
tho outing girl with her blue canvas
skirt and her white shirt waist,
crowned with straw sailor, white felt
fedora, flat topped Tarn of straw, or
ready-to-wear hat: and the frilled sum
mer girl, she with the fiounc.'.i and
the furbelows, the one who litis been
called the fluffy summer girl.
He that as It may two kinds or one
it is certain that for a long time
to come, certainly until the glorious
Fourth sends Its screech Into the air,
U Is the fluffy summer girl thnt we
shall have In our midst. To the credit
of the coming fluffy summer gown It
may be mtnted thnt it can lie reworn
In th fall, for It Is of a kind that is
difficult to distinguish from the con
ventional gown for the house. And
It Is certainly cheaper than a fine re
ception or afternoon gow
The Cue of the fin.
A good deal of scorn Is heaped upon
the woman who, as the saying goes.
"Is pinned together." She U put down
as untidy nnd lazy and generally shift
less. The scornful crlttt-s do not stop
to consider that tho most artistic
French dressses nnd hats are seldom
"well made;" that graceful and lovely
as they are. tiie mere stltchery is very
light and unreliable, apt to give at
any moment. French hooks and eyes,
li III and bows are all apt to come
off after one wearing. Mere sewing
Is not the artistic thing for which
cne pays exhorbltant prices.
The great conturlei-e charges for
deft touches, inspired adjustments,
graceful drapery, beauty of outline.
Many of these effects depend on the
pm. Clothes should be put on with
art as well as made with si.lll. There
is more affinity In the cunning fold
placed with the aid of a pin than there
lii in rows of mere strong stltchery.
Personality cannot be expresssed In
a frock that any other woman could
duplicate. It must havei special
touches of Its own, and It cannot have
these if the woman who wears It de-rplite-a
the use of the pin.
Many women, spend large sums on
.their clothes and never seem on good
terms with them. Their frocks are
vi ry well made too well made to have
any subtlety or Illusion. Every fold is
In plaee. Every frill is secured by a
Mrong thread.
Everything Is so strongly sewed that
no mystery can lurk In a fold, and no
expression lie in the curves or lines
of a skirt. When you have once seen
a toilet, there it ends; the second
time you are deadly tired of It, and
finally It gets on your nerves.
How you long to see a little-difference
In the bodice, a curve In the
sleeve that you had not noticed
fore! But all this would mean iruag
Inatlon or pins!
Consequently the notion of a ptn
is abhorrent; it Is untidy, the dress
maker has not done her work prop
erly, Mie has been paid for something
for which she has not given full value,
Women should reccolllect that In
the sordid actuality of dress there Is
I either art nor beauty.
Style Is Infinitely more difficult to
procure than fashion one is a tri
umph of the mind, the other Is always
procurable with gold. No other at
tribute is so necessary, to those who
wish to be well dressed, as good style.
Hit It Is generally inherent and only
t: be found in the woman who possewi
imagination, and can therefore rise
above mediocrity.
You can call it chic if you like, but
r.elther style nor chic can be obtained
in present day dressing without the
ni l of the despUed pin.
The woman who says she never uses
a pin is hopeless; she might as well
eay she does not wear corset3.
When you have looked loug nnd
rriiically at such a woman you will
realize that nothing matters; her
clothes cover her and that Is all one
can say.
Her dressmaker may be more or less
or a genius and will utltch the drap'
erics so that they suit her fairly well;
the stuff may be pretty and the style
unobjectionable what there Is of it;
It only lies with the dressmaker, and
the has had to firmly stitch her best
aspirations. Consequently there ! a
certain suggestivenes of heavy baked
pudddlng throughout. Philadelphia

J oration.
THE NATURAL BftlOCG.
An Interesting Talk Apropos of the BUI
fur a flatlnnnl I'ark There.
Representative Ford of Virginia,
whose territory embraces Rockbridge
county nnd other mountainous terri
tory, Int'oduced a bill last Week pro
viding for tho purchase of Natural
Hrline by the national government and
the development of the land just about
the bridge Into a national park. Like
tvery one clue In the state Mr. Flood
regnrds the Natural Bridge as the equal
of Niagara Falls, nnd looks upon it
nx a womicrlul work of nature wMch
should bii-ing to the goveirnunt and
lie leolously guarded. In this he has
the hearty support of many represen
tn'.ivea from other sections of the
country and tho entire Virginia dele
gation.
In one of the house galleries when
Mr. Flood wnlked to the speeker' desk
nnd presented his (ill was one of his
constituent, who lives near the bridge,
Charles H. I'axton. The latter was as
deeply Interested in the measure as
Mr. Flood. "Up In Rockbridge," he
said to a reporter, "the Natural Bridge
Is estimated as one of the most Inter
esting things In Virginia. Jefferson,
who was Its first owner, spoke of It as
a 'famous place that will draw the at
tention of tho world.' John Marshall
called It 'God's greatest miracle In
stone.' Clay said it was a bridge not
made with hands, that spans a river,
carries a highway and makes two
mountains one.' Those men visited
the bridge nt the cost of long, trying
stage Journeys, but they were not the
only ones attracted to Rockbridge to
see It. Monroe, Benton, Jackson, Van
Buren, Ham Houston and no one knows
how many others undertook the same
Journey at the same cost. Today In
terest in the bridge seems to have
grown with the country. It has be
come necessary for the railroads to
build new stations and to adjust their
schedules to include Natural Bridge,
exactly as they long ago included the
great suminei resorts on the main
line.
"Those who have seen the bridge do
not require to be told about it. But
for others I don't believe all the pic
tures in the world would Indicate its
solemnity and grandeur, it is a sin
gin block, of limestone, with many
shades of color, wide enoug.i to span
Broadway and high enough to throw
in the snadow the turrets of Trinity
church. The walls are as smooth as
if cut with chisels. The height of the
arch is almost 215 feet, about half that
of tiie Washington monument. Its
width is 100 feet and Its span Is clear
90 l'eet. Birds high In air pass under
the blue arch. The place is full of
echoes. Lightning struck the bridge
in 179, and hurled down an immense
mass of rock, but there is no sign of
its displacement on the bridge itself.
"The history of the Natural Bridge
Is remarkably interesting. It was men
tioned first, I think, by Burnaby In
175!), who spoke of It as 'a natural arch
or bridge Joining two high mountains,
with a considerable river underneath.'
A bloody Indian fight occurred near It
about 1770. Washington, when a sur
veyor for Lord Fairfax, visited it and
carved his name, where it can now bo
seen. During the Revolution, the
French organized two expeditions to
visit it.
"From their measurements and dia
grams a picture was made In Paris,
which for nearly half a century was
copied In Europe and America as cor
rect. The original tract was granted
by the king to Thomas Jefferson In
1774. After Jefferson became presi
dent he visited the place, surveyed it
and made the map with his own
hands. The next year he returned,
taking two slaves, 'Patrick Henry'
and his wife. For these two the for
mer president built a log cabin with
two looms and directed one to be kept
open for the entertainment of Btrang
ers. The slaves were never manumit
ted. Jefferson left here a large book
for 'sentiments' and the sayings of
Marshall and Clay I have Indicated,
were' taken from that book. Unfor
tunately, tho book was actdentally de
stroyed in 1845, and only a . part of it
remains.
"Above the bridge Is an Immense
glen, probably once a cave, which ex
tends for a mile to Lace Water Falls.
There Is much to see In this glen a
saltpetre cave, worked for niter dur
ing the War of 1812 and by the con
federates in 1862, and Lost River, a
subterranean stream which shoots out
of a cavern high In the wall and disap
pears in another nearly opposite.
Above tne arch some one has carved
'Whoever drinks here shall return.'

feet above the sea and comprises about
uj0 acres. It Is about two miles
away from the James." Washington

Wlijr Ike Tip Was Refuted.
In Europe the tip to the cabmen In
excess of bis legal fare is a well-established
matter of course. These cab
men, whether In London, Parts, or
Berlin, Identify an American at once
both by his appearance and by his
speech. From an American fare they
expect much liberality, and In case of
disappointment are prepared to be sar
castic and otherwise disagreeable. On
one occasion I took a hansom In Lon
don for a distance well within the four
mile limit I gave the cabman half a
crown. He looked at me with much Im
pudence and said, "You bave made a
mUtake, sir."
I reached for the coin and, putting
It In my pocket, said: "So I have.
Much obliged to you." Then I banded
htm one shilling, bis exact fare. He
was as angry as a cabman permits
himself to be in a country where the
police will take the word of him who
seeius to be a gentleman against that
of a cabman every time. John OUniar

The Ant NnUanro,
A friend who has a country house
was in despair over a plague of ants.
She traced them to a window, the sill
of which was on a level with the
ground, and hit upon this original way
of exterminating the pests. She ar
ranged a piece of wire netting in a
semicircle before the window and fast
ened the ends to the lioiu:e; she then
csptured several toads and put them
Inside the netting and kept them In
"durance vile" while their services
were needed. I told this to another
friend, who successfully tried the same
tactics. In the latter t-atsi the trouble

walls were already built. The prison

FOR MRS. YOUNC WIFE.
Some at the Utile Matter She Slionlit
Remember.
That the application of the Golden
Rule in the new home Is of first Im
portance. That the "no credit" system Is a
very safe motto for a yours; couple
to live up to.
That necessities should be selected
before decorative articles of furniture.
That it Is not wise to provide too
cany pots, kettles and pans, when fur
nishing a kitchen.
That It Is always decidedly cheaper
In the end to buy only good carpets
and good furniture.
That no matter how small the In
come a small sum should be put aside
regularly tor purchasing a home, or
for the proverbial rainy day.
That straining after effect, or copy
ing after a richer neighbor. Is always
a source ot discontent and discom
fort. That a simple dinner, well served, Is
decidedly more enjoyable than an elab
orate dinner poorly served.
That a practical knowledge of thli
"economy of good cookery" will be ab
solutely necessary for the young house
wife, no matter how much "help" she
can aflord to keep.
That the cellar should be kept clean
and whitewashed at least one a year
preferably In the spring.
That all bills for marketing should
bo paid weekly or, better still, when
the articles are bought.
That everything that goes on the
table should be of the best quality.
That with care and economy a
small amount ot money will do won
ders.
That it Is Important to be systematic
In looking after the left-overs.
That all cold vegetables and scraps
of meat may bo used in soups and sal
ads and croquets and many appetizing
vays beBldo the objectionable hash.
That in selecting a new home more
attention should be paid to the plumb
ing than to the white marble Btcps and

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
tn humble life there Is great repose.
To live Is not a blessing, but to
live well.
He who Is his own friends Is a friend
to all men.
Thnt pnrt of life which we really
l'ke, Is short.
It Is not goodness to be better than
the very worst.
Make haste to live, and consider
each day a life.
If you Judge, Investigate; If you
reign, command.
Our care should be not to live long,
but to live enough.
The hour which gives us life, be
gins to take It away.
It Is better often not to ee an In
sult than to avenge It.
This body Is not a home, but an Inn,
and that only for a short time.
If you live according to nature, you
never will be poor; If, according to the
world's caprice, you will never be
rich. The Sayings of Seneca.
THE SCARCITY OF CORKS.
Bow It line Developed Several tjneer
Inclutttrlea.
The fact that the world's supply of
cork Is much less than the demand
lias been working a peaceful revolu
tion In many trades. The Increase In
the price has rendered It necessary
'o devise other kinds of stoppers.
This has given employment to a per
fect army of Inventors, many of whom
have reaped neat little fortunes from
however, atl the inventions bave not
been able to restore the former bal
ance, and prlcc-s keep up In an alarm
ing manner. As a consequence there
lias been developed a trade In second
hand corks, and under this have come
Into being queer little Industries such
as gathering corks.cleanln g corks and
levamping corks. '
In the big hotels, restaurants and
v.aloons the cork perquisite Is now a
moderately valuable privilege. They,
are no longer cast contemptuously by,
but are thrown Into a box or cask,
where they accumulate until the cork
Flcker arrives, wiio pays a round sum
In cash for all offered to Ulm. The
average waiter and bartender now
employs cork screws which Inflict
minimum damage upon the cork, and
in many places where a number ot
Vottlea are opened l.i the course of a
Cay a steel cork-extractor Is used,
which will pull out a cork from the
Interior of a bottle into which it has
teen carelessly forceJ.
The peddler who buys them sells
tliem to the second-hand man, who
assorts them Into various classes.
Many large corks can be recut with
considerable profit. Others which
l:ave been Injured can be cut so as
to discard the Injured portions and
utilize that which Is sound. Corks
which have been discolored by grease
can be cleaned by benzine, ammonia
water, or lime and water. Those which
have been discolored or flavored by
medicine can be rendered usable by
long-continued boiling with a small
r.niount of chloride of lime, anils ub
equent drying In a kiln or oven. The
finest quality consists of champagne
corks. These always command a good
price. It is possible to re-use them
and this is said to be done by many
manufacturers both at home ' and
abroad. Others can be recut so as
to obliterate the maker's or bottler's
name, which Is usually branded upon
the side or lower surface. A second
hand cork when parafllnated can be
ured for bottles containing oils
j.owders, and aqueous solutions, They
ore popular at present on account of
the ease with which they can be tak

Writing of Prince Albert In an arti
cle in the Century on "The Royal Fam
ily, of England," Prof. Oscar Brown
Ing says:
From the first the Prince Identified
himself with the Queen In all her la
bors. They had one mind and one
soul. Rising every morning wlt'.i the
dawn, the Prince went into his work
room, where their two tables stood
side uy side, and read all their corres
pondence, arranging everything for the
Queen's convenience when she should
arrive. He knew all her thoughts and
assisted all her actions, yet so adroit
and self-sacrificing was his conduct
that all the merit and popularity came
to her. The people had no Idea that be
Interfered with public affairs, yet had
they reflected, they must have known
that It was Inevitable. Once during
the Crimean War, when the notion got
abroad that the Prince had Intervened,
there were tales of treason and ot
tending him to the Tower; yet on the
day ot the Prince' death, on that cold,
Ice-bound Saturday, Charles Kingsley
said to the present writer: "He was
King of England for twenty years, and
no one knew It."
To Llla Sloane belongs the credit
of having Inaugurated a new fashion
which will doubtless find many follow'
ers, both In and out of the 400. Un
til now engagements have been Big'
nallzed by the gift of a ring to the
maiden by her swain. Miss Sloane,
not content with this, has presented
her future husband an engagement
ring, which he now wears In token ot
the fact that he Is no longer a free
agent, but under orders.
It la a very handsome ring, adorned
with a large cabochon sapphire
flanked by two fine diamonds, and is
flttel on to the little finger of his left
hand. In the future all men who mar
ry and who belong to the fashionable
set In New York will likewise look for
an engagement ring from their lancee,
