Those who are to come after us art

while it is desirable to build in a thor

it is desirable to construct buildings In

In the old times Europe did not
mind the riches of America; it seemed
to tho Old World that our millionaires
came by their wealth In some Crude
way which could not possibly Injure
European industries or compete with
them. American money enriched inn
keepers and tho worn-out sons of an
cient and decrepit families, and that
was tho end of tho matter. Three
years ago it was no more suspected
by tho mass of Europeans, especially
of continental Europeans, that we
would soon be competing with their
manufacturers than that we could
knock C'ervera's fleet to pieces In a
short run along the southern coast tf

Limitations of Miss Lane.
BY JULIA VALENTINE BOND.
{Copyright, 1501, by Dally Htory Pub. Co.)
A man and a girl—that most ancient
of combinations—with its endless
chain of possibilities—are seated sldo
by side on a bank of coarse grass and
gray boulder, looking seaward. The
old duel of the sexes has been waging
between them for the best part of an
hour, but U3 yet neither party has
been worsted. There are no seconds,
unless a small boy disporting himself
In the middle distance could so be
counted. At any rate ho serves as a
Bort of tlmo-rcst to the conversation,
occasionally drawing the attention of
the pair to himself by the narrowness
of his escapes from bodily Injury. His
efforts are directed toward fixing a
flagpole on a tree in honor of the ap
proaching Fourth of July. Dr. Randall
hazards the prophecy that one of these
days Jack Hughes will kill himself.
"Not he," says Miss Lano cheerful
ly; "but I wish he'd come down. I love
boys who want to do dangerous things,
but I can't bear to see them at It."
"You're simply," ho says, "tho most
fumtnino woman I've met,"
"And is that why you like me?"
"Ono of the whys. There are others."
"I don't think I like the obvious,"
feturns Miss Lano. "It is as bad to be
lahelod feminine as being called sweet'
or good-hoarted."
"You couldn't be tha first without
being the two last. Why, I wonder, do
women gird so at belonging to their
own sex? Do you ever hear a man ob
ject to being called a manly fellow?"
"I deny that we do gird at It. It is
only tho never getting beyond one's
limitations. Suppose one is a primrose
by a river's brim; you don't want to
be that and nothing more. It is the
eternal feminine I object to."
The man smiles beneath the shelter
of his hat brim.
"Getting beyond your limitations."
he says, "confessedly out of your
depths. Who appears to advantage,
Clan or woman, in that situation?"
"What are a woman's limitations?"
impatiently. "I mean, of course, your

cut-and-drlcd theory on the subject,
ready for use at a moment's notice."
"Evidently you agree with Hardy's
peasant that 'men are a very poor
class of society.'"
"Do I?' she laughs. "Ask any of tho
women over there" —pointing in tho
direction of the little summer settle
ment acros3 the hill—"they will *r?ll

when she has a man tagging at her
Heels."
M And you deny that your sex Is
spiteful?"
i **That isn't spiteful, after all, per
haps," ruefully. "M dare say it is only
true. I do like them —I," lamely, "have
always been accustomed to them."
I "Don't annihilato uie for saying
therein lies the chief charm of the
feminine woman."
"Oh! no. You're welcome to your
opinion. I believe I even asked for it."
"You did. You said, 'What are wom
an's limitations?' And you accused me
of having a cut-and-dried answer. But
you didn't wait for it. I was about to
say I'd never found a woman's limi
tations."
"Then," calmly, "you were about to
tell an untruth. There was never yet a
man who hadn't set the boundary for
his fellow-woman."
"You don't mind if I smoke?" She
nods permission. "I admit there are
just one or two walks in life ovor

which It is written—'Verboten zu
Eingang,' to a woman."
"And those?"
"Well, medicine and the law, to be
gin with. As a doctor I havo It on my
conscience to have dissuaded at least
three young women from becoming
trained nurses."
The silence that follows this state
ment becomes fairly ominous.
"I have no patience" begins Miss
Erne at last, '"with a man—no respect
for one —who says such a thing aa
that. I am sorry—l—really thought
better of you." She rises to her full
height, which is not a great one, but
gives her unfair advantage over her
prone combatant, who sits up physic
ally and metaphorically.
"I am awfully sorry," apologetical
ly, picking up a fallen hatpin; "I didn't
moan to hurt your feelings. I couldn't
tell I was treading on sacred ground.
Somehow one doesn't associate you
with any of those pursuits. You are
so "
"So feminine," she interjects scorn
fully, "but I can't help that."
"No, thank heaven," devoutly.
A gleam of mirth steals into her
eyes, and she reseats herself.
"Oh, what Is the use?" she cries. "I
thought years ago I had learned to
control myself. I know and love so
many splendid women who are nurses,
and my best friend," firmly, "is a doc
tor—a woman doctor. So it hurts mo
to tho quick to hear your easy con
tempt for them."
"But you mustn't think for nn in
stant that I feel a contempt for them.
r:sides I am only a man In a thous
and."
"Yes," she says, wlh a catch of her
breath, ''it really doesn't matter what
you think."
"Oh! but I hope it does —just a little.
It matters so much to me. I have only
known you a short month, but there
are times when time doesn't count.
Surely, you know I love you"
Suddenly across his speech thero
breaks a child's cry of terror. Turning
sharply he sec.? littlo Jack Hughes fall
heavily from the high tree where he
has fixed the flag. Moved by a common
impulse the man and girl go tearing
down the hill together without a word.
Miss Lane kneels by the boy and
with her ear to his breast listens to
the faint heart-beata that assure her
life is still there.
"I'd give a good deal for my surgic
al bag just now," says Dr. Randall
when tho boy has been laid on his own
bed in the cottage where Miss Lane's
summer has been spent. "There's an
ugly fracture hero that needs looking
to at once. Let me see," and he glances
about to discover some impromptu
means to wrest to his own ends.
Miss Lane stands irresolute for a
brief moment, then is out of the room
in a flash. When she appears it is with
a bag of familiar pattern wherein is
found all that is needed to tho sur
geon's hand.
"This," she say* coloring, "I happen
ed to know was In the house."
Miss Lane watches him approvingly
in silence as long as all goes smooth
ly, but when a cry of agony breaks
from the child. "Don't you think"—
she says. "Just a whiff or two," lie
answers with perfect comprehension,
and in a few moments Jack is lulled
off 011 the blessed fumes of ether.
When all is woll over and they stand
together on the porch outside Jack's
little room In the falling twilight,
Miss Lane somehow finds herself in
Dr. Randall's arms.
"I am glad that man, proud man,
never dissuaded you from becoming a
trained nurse," he says. "Jack would
have fared badly today if botween us
wo hadn't surprised your secret."
"I have been a doctor for two years."
says Miss Lane demurely. Then, after
a pause, she adds with a little smile,
"I was to havo been one of the lights
of orthopedic surgery."
"Was to have been?" he echoes, as
he draws her closer to him. "Why,
what happened?"
Vou," she returns briefly. "I hope I
know my own limitations."
A Novelty In lirlriogronma.
Seven Vienna ladies, weary of Eu
rope and Western civilization, havo
married seven male members of a Be
douin troupe which has been perform
ing in the Austrian capital during the
summer and autumn. Five of these ad
venturous women are spinsters and
two are widows, and they have just ac
companied their Asiatic spouses to
their native deserts and oases, where
they are to be again married after the
Arabic ceremony. The scene at the sta
tion when they took their farewell of
"Felix Austria," says the Vienna Tag
blatt, was truly astonishing. The plat
form was crowded with sympathetic
friends, the majority of whom were
women and girls, and not a few among
them expressed their envy of their sis
ters who had won such magnficent hus
bands. All the seven brides, accord
ing to the ungallant reporter, "were of
uncertain age," and, as they all had
some property, he insinuates that tho
Arabs were not so much fascinated by
their beauty and youth as by their gold
and sliver. The crowd of women left
on the platform as the train steamed
out burst into tears at the departure of
tho heroes of the circus.—London Daily
News.
Engineer "Cot tho Old Lady."
• The president of an Eastern railroad
tells of an engineer of a fast freight
train who called on him one day and
asked him to prevent a deaf old woman
from walking on tho tracks along one
section of that division. Several times
tho engineer had barely missed run
ning over her, and he was terrified lest
a fatal accident should happen to her.
"The only way to prevent a deaf per
son from walking on the track," said
Mr. Underwood, "would bo to cut his
legs off." "That Is Just what I will do
for my deaf old lady if you cannot
stop her," replied the engineer. In
vestigation showed that she was ac
customed to go to a summer hotel to
sell baskets and embroidery, and that
the railroad afforded her a short cut to
her destination. She was remonstrated
with, but it did no good. "And, do you
know," said Mr. Underwood, "she was j
finally run over. That very engineer
called on me, with tears running down
his cheeks, one day, and reported: 'l've
got the old lady at last, sir.'"
11a* No Summer Rain.
There is no rain in Persia during the
summer months, and the land is bar
ren except where there are streams of
water for Irrigation. Tho mountain
streams are conducted in an under
ground channels, formed by digging |
pits, about thirty feet apart, and tun
neling from one to the other. This |
prevents the evaporation of the water
by the sun, and at the same time I
usually finds a clay bottom so that
there is not so much lost by absorption
and leakage. Little channels branch
off from time to time, and bring some
of the water to the surface, where it is
carried about in little ditches, to water
the crops.
Tlio Burr nnrl nnmllton Families.
Mrs. Elzabeth Burr Hamilton, said
to be the last member of the seventh
generation of the Burr family, who
died at Bridgeport, Conn., at the age
of 90, was the fifth cousin of Aaron
Burr, the third vice president of the
United States, who killed Alexander
Hamilton, tho lawyer and statesman,
in a duel in 1804. Her death recalls the I
fact that, though the families of Burr
and Hamilton were the most bitter en
emies at the beginning of the last cen
tury, love found away 32 years after
the famous duel to bring the families
together again by the marriage of
Elizabeth Burr Alexander Hamil

Allen D. Chandler of Georgia, finds

For the summer a taste for very
wide brims has been revived, but
more as the exception than tho rule.
Several of the wide-brimmed hats

have very low crowns. One in fancy
white straw is encircled by a wreath
of largo white popples, slightly shot
with gray and green; a second, in
cerise chip, is wreathed with white
cherry blossoms; a third, in palest
mauve straw, is trimmed with pink
l-oses; a fourth, in manila straw, has
a garland of cherries; a fifth, in white
straw, is surrounded by a full quilling
of black tulle, relieved by a windmill
bow of cerise velvet on the left side;
a sixth, in rose-pink straw, has two
large rosettes of pink tulle on the
right side, and on the left several
large white roses. In all cases foliage
is mixed with the flowers or fruit;
there is often also a small cluster of

Itest for Working Women.
Since Princess Charles of Denmark
expressed her practical sympathy
with Mr. Holmes' scheme for a home
of rest for London's working women,
the scheme has advanced rapidly to
ward realization. Thomas Holmes Is
the North London police court mis
sionary, whose recent book. "Pictures
and Problems from London's Poiieo
Courts," has attracted so much atten
tion. He tells this story of the incep
tion and progress! of his scheme:
"For a long time," he said, "per
haps a dozen years, I have wanted to
do some such thing for these poor
people—the women who made ladies'
skirts, blouses and other garments in
their own homes. They are far more
helpless than those who work in fac
tories; they cannot organize, and
people outside know but little about
them.
"I could take you to see women who
work 15 hours a day, sometimes more,
for seven days a week, stooping all
the time over their machines, in a
foul atmosphere. For this a woman
will get perhaps Is. 6d. for sewing a
dozen skirts, and have to find her own
machine and thread. Sometimes the
pay is as low as 10d. a dozen.
"Our home at Walton-on-the-Nazo
is to give 100 women a month's rest
every year—some have not had a hall
day for 15 years. We have been of
fered the lease of a furnished house
right on the beach, and as soon as the
public give us £2OO for the furniture,
etc., we shall start. We have about
half the money already and all the
women, and we must set the homo
going soon after Whitsuntide."—Lon

What Colors to Wsar.
In the art of selecting the colors of
a dress from artistic points of view
that is, to say, in such a manner that
the dress, hat and set of ornaments,
etc., not only correspond, but harmon
ize with the person—the French wom
en are said to lead the world. The
smart Paris set really study chromat
ics as carefully as the be3t French
painters, who have to weigh each tone
and its probable effect, and in many
instances the magazines of fashion
give many valuable hints in this direc
tion. It was not only recently that
the Moniteur de la Mode contained
several columns giving pointers about
the choice of colors.
The Moniteur pointed out that
bright colors, such as red and gold
yellow, are not well suited for bru
nettes, as is often supposed. For bru
nettes with delicate complexions and
velvet-like eyes the Moniteur recom
mends pale blue, Chinese rose and
bieu pervenche. The delicate, soft
tone of these colors harmonizes won
derfully with the complexion and
forms a "splendid all-over tone, re
minding one of the effects of a pas
tel."
For gold and red blonde ladles the
Moniteur recommends "medium col
ors," such as pensee, emerald, rubine
red or violet The complexion is usu
ally so fresh that in connection with
these opposite colors a most effective
contrast is attained. Ladles with less
and more delicate blonde complexion,
should best select cherry red or cur
rant red; all blue colors from marine
blue up to pale blue are also prefer
able and effective. A similar happy *
effect can be attained by the delicate
rose color of the hydrangea or by one
of the so-called Ophelia and peach
color.
All blondes are earnestly warned by
the Moniteur against any yellow tones
which might in the least resemble
the hair; if these blondes insist never
theless upon yellow tones, the Paris
paper continues, they Ehould by all
means try to make a good combina
tion with other bright colors.
A brighter chestnut brown of the
hair demands the same tones as does
blonde hair. The belles with chestnut
brown hair of darker complexion and
the brunettes should select maize
colors and dark blue. Ashy blonde
women with delicate complexion in
crease the elegance of their appear- ||
ance by the choice of covored colore,
such as gray, beige and pale blue.
In connection with these hints the
Moniteur de la Mode treats the sym
bolic importance of colors. We are
reminded that in the Orient in China,
white is the mourning color, probably
because the contrast of this color and
the dark complexion of the peoples of
those countries creates a certain rigor
and cruelty of tones.
The same may be said about the
black mourning color of the Occident,
which shows the same contrast for
the white people of these countries.
Besides this sad signification, black
and white have as yet another. Black
without connection of other colors sig
nifies pride and distinction, while
white Is the symbol of purity and in
nocence.
The red color is the most ostenta
tious and most popular. It animates
and embellishes everywhere. We find
it throughout nature, with the birds,
the flowers, the clouds and at the bot
tom of the ocean. Red signifies mag
nitude and dignity, for it attracts at- 7
tentlon.
Blue, like white, Is the symbol of
purity, goodness and clemency. Yel
low is the favored color of all the
people of the far East. The Chinese
call it "divine color," resembling the
sun.
Green is the color of the spring and
hope. The Persians, the Arabs, the
Turks and all Mohammedans have
selected it as their national color, for
the reason that it was the favorite
color of the prophet.
