Bright colors are quite as charming in the new materials, included IU or gandies, lawns, linens and ginghams, as thoy aro in silks and brocades, for the color blending and weaving are most skillfully done. In organdies a new ooloring is introduced which imi tates the faint tints of old brocades. Flounced and ruffled skirts which were tho fashion a few years ago have ngain come in as something novel. This stylo of skirt is pnrlicularly becoming to tall figures. Tucks not only iu tho waists, but also in the skirt, are an other mode which has returned. French flouncing (sometimes called Spanish) is a simple way of making a summer dress; another ; way quite as pretty is that in which the skirt has half a dozen small ruffles arranged around the bottom in largo scallops or points. There are so many ways of fashioning a dainty frock that one cannot go far astray if any idea is suc cessfully carried out. A charming de sign for a dainty waist for a thin cos tume is carried out by covering a foundation of silk with the material of the gown.nnd making a fichu eli'ect by crossing the full fronts and allow ing the ends to be covered by a wide band of ribbon at tho waist.—New York Times. SOMETHING ABOUT MBS. NANSEN. Of Dr. Nansen's wife not much in formation lias found its way into print. She seems to have a very im perfectly developed taste for publici ty, but what is known of her is inter esting and indicates that she is an ,uncommon woman, both in talents and character. It is recorded by Dr. Nansen's biographers, Urogger and Rolfsen, that his first meeting with his future wife was in the woods about Frogner Seator, where one day ob serving the soles of two feet sticking up out of the snow, he approached them with natural curiosity, in time to see the head of Eva Sara emerge from a snow bank. Dr. Nansen was married in 1889 after his return from his successful expedition across Green land. When he started in the Fram in 1893 his wife, left at home at Ly saker, near Christiana, with one child, turned for occupation to the develop ment and use of her gifts as a singer, and with notable success. King Oscar of Sweden is ono of her admirers, and especially likes her singing, which he has often heard,and since Bhe has been in England the compliment has torn paid her of ask ing her to sing before the Queen. She is a stanch backer of her adventurous husband, whose departure on his perilous errand cost her anxieties and misgivings, as to which she said little at the time. Sinoe her husband's return sho hns some times spoken in conversation of her fears, and has said that careful comparison of Dr. Nansen's diary with her record or remembrance of her own sensations bears her out in the belief that tho times when she was tho most couccrnod about him were tho soasous of his greatest peril. That implies a telepathic communication born of in tenso sympathy and solicitude, the pos sibility of which science seems no lon ger disposed to deny.—Atlanta Con stitution. A SDMMEIt GIRL'S GOWN, Tho most novel organdie frock is ac cordion plaited. It is made of cream white organdie, scattered with yellow wild roses, und has for its foundation a yellow silk slip. Tho entire gown is accordion plaited, and tho little skirt stands out with a graceful stillness. The baby waist iB made very full, and is worn with a hand-tuoked gnirapo. Over the short, puffed sleeves floats accordion plaited epaulets, which fall like half-closed fans and end in a point below the waist line. Tliero are bows on eaoh shoulder, and broad taffeta ribbon ties about the waist fastening at the left side with a bow and ends. Accordion'plaiting is high in fashion for frocks and hats, and even parasols for small girls. When there are not entire gowns of accordion plaiting, there are accordion plaited skirts, which nro worn with silk waists. Another organdie gown, quite as pretty as the one just described, is cf white organdie, sprayed with tiny pink rosebuds, nnd made over a pink silk slip. It is trimmed in an unusually pretty fashion. The gored skirt is made with three rows of Valenoiennes lace insertion, each row finished with a tiny ruffle of lace. This makes the trimmed 6kirt, which is so much in vogue this season. The same lace trimming decorates the full waist, which is worn with a yoke made of groups of tiny tucks and lace inser tion. Around tho waist a pink satin ribbon is wound, and from the ribbon band ends in different lengths full over the skirt. Tho effect of tho ribbon ends falling over tho skirt is excep tionally pretty. Tho sleeves are short, the full puff tied with ribbon, from beueoth which a frill of tho organdie, edged with lace, is seen. There are also butterfly bows on the shoulders. The pale tinted organdies are much used for pretty frocks, and many of them are made up over white silk. Good effects are also obtained l,vy hav ing tliq OrgaiHllo'^nitiUj'over, V. slip which is. a shado or two.darter than, the organdie itself, and then trimmed with very narrew velvet ribbon. .

Veils to be fashionable mustbo plain, tho simple length of soft Brussels not being one of tho most approved. A corn colored hat with black laco trimming is pretty, aiso tho same col ored hat with a very lull wreath of blue corn llowers. Skirts are very full at the back and are gathered over cords and drawn closely, so that the back shows a pointed design of one cord above an other. Novelty hats aro shown in braids of every imaginable color. Red is ex ceedingly popular, and when trimmed with a profusion of soft black laco or chiffon is one of the most stylish of the millncr's creations. The decline of tho shoulder capo is said to be assured. How true this may be one can scarcely state authorita tively, but from all appearunces this form of garment is too useful, und has made too many friends to bo given up very soon. The surplice front is gnining in favor, and when carefully adjusted is becoming to almost all ligures. For stout ladies it seems to reduce tho bulk, while for slender ones it can bo loft slightly loose and is very pretty and graceful. Che rngo for buckles is running riot. They aro used on tho belts of drosses and jackets, and some of them aro elab orate to gorgeousuess. Tho conserva tive young woman, however, does not run to extremes m this rogard, or, in deed, in any other. Soft belts of silk or velvet are used, and to these somo of the rich buckles are fastened. One of tho novelties is a belt of yellow velvet with three very elegant cut jet buckles, one in front and one on eiteer side. At the back there is a large rosette bow of leather. A very handsomo hat has a wido flat brim rolled up at tho back. The trim ming is a wreath of enormous peonies in silk aud velvet. At one side of tho back of tho hat is au upright bow of chiffon ami velvet hold in placo by rosettes of crimped chiffon and velvet loops. Among tho popular belt buckles are those of oxydized silvor with jewels. Tnero aro also handsome plain ones, and provident women who havo put away their old time trinkets may now bring out their old fashioned buckles and wear them with a great deal of pleasure. Artificial flowers are extravagantly beautiful. They are exceedingly nat ural and very rich looking, and if one buys good ones they last a long time. Cheap flowers are short lived posses sions. Thc'y como apart with the slightest dampness, and rumple almost if one looks at them. Insanity from Shock. The pathetic recital of the experience of the engineer whose reason was shat tered by his train running over and killing two men, leads thoughtful per sops to the contemplation of the ex ceeding frailty of humanity and the awful consequences to the sensitive mind of such an accident as that which was the real cause of the collision ot two trains. Of a highly nervous temperament, the engineer, while he felt himself guiltless of murder, was yet so overcome with the knowledge that he had taken two lives that he was wholly unbalanced, and probably in the roost mechanical way, with his hand on the lever, sen) his train along the tracks, completely oblivious of the danger that threatened him. The piteous appeal to Ills fellows asking them if he really was to blame, Is one of the most pitiful Incidents In the affair. Experts say that un en giueer can only pass through a given amount of strain, and that once having passed this point he is scarcely account able for what he may do. There is a great difference In people, however, as to the effect which such calamities liave upon them. People of stolid and unlmpressible temperaments may pass through such experiences, and be but slightly overcome by them, but it is u dangerous tiling for the sens itive, highly organized mind to be placed In such au awful position.

President Barnaby, of Hartsville College, fcjurvives a Serious Illness Through the Aid of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. From the Republican, Columbus, Ind, The Hartsville College, situated at Harts villc, Indiana, was founded years ago in the interest of the United Brethren Church, when the State was mostly a wilderness, and colleges were scarce. The college is well known throughout tho country, former Btudents having gone into ail purU of the world. rnor. ALYIN P. BARNABY. A reporter recently called at this famous # seat of learning and was into the room of the President, Prof. Alvin P. Bar naby. Whon last seen by the reporter Prof. Barnaby was in delicate health. To-day he was apparently in the best of health. In response to an inquiry tho professor said: "Oh, yos, I am muoh better than for some time. lam now in porfect health; but my recovery was brought about in rather a pe culiar way." "Tell nic about it," said the reporter. "Well, to begin at the beginning," said tho professor, "I studied too hard when at school, endeavoring to educate myself for the professions. Aftor completing the com mon courso I came hero, and graduated from tho theological courso. I entered the ministry, and accepted the charge of a United Brethren Churoh at a small place in Kent County, Mieh. Being of an ambitious nature, I applied myself diligently to my work and studies. In time I noticed that my health was failing. My trouble was in digestion, and this with other troubles brought on nervousness. "My physician proscribed for me for some time, and advised me to take a change of climate. I did as he requested and was some improved. Soon after, I came hero as professor in physics and chomistry, and later was financial agent of this college. The change agreed with me t and for awhilo my health was better, but my duties wcro heavy, and again I found my trouble returning. This time it was moro severe, and in the winter I became completely prostrated. I tried various medicines and different physicians. Finally, I was able to return to my duties. Last spring I was elected President of the col lege. Again I had considerable work, and the trouble, which had not been entirely cured, began to affect me, and last full I collapsed. I had different doctors, but none did me any good. Professor Bowman, who is professor of natural science, told me of his experience with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and urged me to give them atrial, because they had bene- II ted him in a similar case, and I concluded to try them. "The first box helped me, and tho second gave great relief, such as I never had ex perienced from the trentmeut of any physi cian. After using six boxes of the medi cine I was entirely cured. To-day I am perfectly well. I feel better and stronger than for years. I certainly recommend this medicine." To allay all doubt rrofessor Barnaby cheerfully made an affidavit beforo LYMAN J.

The following letter from Mrs. Marlow is only one of many thousands which Mrs. Pinkham has received this year from those she has relieved—surely such testimony is convincing: "My trouble commenced after the birth of my last child. I did not know, what was the matter with me. My husband went to our family physi cian and described my symptoms, and he said I had displacement and falling of the womb. He sent me some medicine, but it did little good. I let it go on about two years, and every time I did any hard work ray womb would eome down. Finally a lady friend advised me to try Lydia E.

Ths Invention of Alabastine marked a new era in wall coatings, and from the stand point of the building owner was a most im portant discovery. It has from a small be ginning branched out into every country of the civilized world. The name "kalsouilne" has become so offensive to property owners that manufacturers of- cheap kalsomlne preparations are now calling them by some other name, and attempting to sell on the AlMbnstine company's reputation. Through extensive advertising ami per sonal use, tho merits of the durable Aisbas tine are so thoroughly kuown that the peo ple insist on getting these goods and will take no chunce ot spoiling their walls for a possible saving of at the most but a few cents. Thus it is again demonstrated that merit wins, and that manufacturers of flrst claas articles will be supported by the people. A correspondent of the New York Times makes the very sensible suggestion that the bricks of the old Grant mausoleum be sold to raise funds for the bronze embellishments needed to complete the present Grant monu ment.
