iffpi Shirt WaUta for Golfing Girls. Golfing girls wear shirt waists of the severest type, relying only upon perfection of fit and material for charm. Heavy linen, often of the coarse "butcher" variety, and pique, are the favored fabrics, and, if white, have stock and belt of the same ma terial, only colored. But if colored linen or pique is used for the waist, then the belt and stock must be white. The stiff collar is rapidly disappearing and soft stocks are taking its place, k fphler Web Stockings. Stockings of black silk, with the fronts embroidered with sprays of pink t rosebuds or forget-me-nots, are very fetching with sandal slippers. Lace fronts arc a feature of other stock ings. For those who cannot afford the y extravagance of pure silk there are stockings of spun silk made with very pretty open work effects. Silk clocks, in black and colors, on an otherwise plain stocking give a smart appear ance to the foot, and stockings thus embellished have the advantage of be ing more serviceable than openwork hoss. Childron't* Ward Decoration.. A new children's ward in a London hospital has decorations suited to the little inmates. On the walls are long series of pictures representing well known inhabitants of fairy land giants and monsters, elves and sprites, all brought together to while away the weary hours of little sufferers. The idea is not a new one for private nurseries, but is not usual In public Institutions. Wall paper of couse, is contraband in hospitals, but plenty of pictures illustrating children's stories might be introduced in all the chil dren's wards of this and other cities. Ro*n l'etiil lions. There is quite a rage for rose petal boas, but these are really a luxury, and only suited for evening wear. They are useful to protect the neck at dances or evening functions, and if such things were adopted there would be fewer colds. To make rose petal boas buy some cheap artificial roses and pick them to pieces. If the boa is to be of white or pink tulle sew the petals on very lightly, using pink sew ing silk and a fine needle. A very full double ruche should be made to go round the neck, and the long ends must be bordered or sprinkled with rose petals. Trouble for the Summer Girl. , The girl with bare arms, browned and even blackened in the sun, has been prominent in the country and at the seashore. No protestations of parents have influenced the girls to avoid this sun burning, which often lasts until late in the winter and looks curious enough with a ball costume. But the girls are themselves beginning to take alarm. As many men know, exposure of the arms to light and air encourages the growth of hair and the arms take on a covering which is not pretty, and girls especially object to it, and it does not disappear with the tan.—Newark Sunday Call. Itlouruing Veils. To women who wear mourning veils those of the so-called grenadine are a blessing. Indeed, by comparison, those of heavy crepe or nun's veiling, look and feel unbearable. These dainty grenadine veils, on the contrary, are light in weight and of a fairy-like texture, and yet with asplen j did body, which prevents tliem from "skewing" or losing their shape. For summer most women not in ab solute first mourning, and regardless of rules, choose them rather short, with the points reaching very little below the waist line. Unless one has Just gone from a heavy veil to one of these there's no realizing the sense of comfort. As for price, the real hemstitched ones begin at SB, and they get finer, firmer and richer as the figures go up. But for $3 and $3.50 oue may get a veil in pretty much the same effect, which will last as long as she'll care to wear it.—Philadelphia Record. The Experienced Traveller. People who travel very little do not realize how different an old traveller appears in numberless little details to y one who seldom goes far from home. U Dfcss, wraps and impedimenta of all ." kftids ha -e a different strap upon them. The way people enter a Pull man and settle themselves for a jour ny shows to an observant person whether they are in the habit of go ing only short distances or whether travelling has become second nature. The various belbngings of an old traveller may be, and generaly are, very smart but never look new. They bear the cherished marks of use, and the labels on a much travelled valise or trunk are never removed with the consent of the owner, who values these baggage stamps of far off lands as much as an Alpine climber does the notches and names of famous climbs on his mountain staff. Woe betide tRe unfortunate maid or valet who Is over-zealous enough to clean and polish up the sole-leather bags that have rare custom house marks upon I hem! A young woman about j to go abroad for the first time was in f terrupted by a friend while busy oil ' Ing her new leather trunk with a rag which she dipped from tine to time Into a plate of road doit. "What am I doing?" she answered in reply to the latter's query. "Why taking the new ness off, of course. I would not travel with a spick and span trunk for any thing?"— New York Tribune. The Wife's Vtue. "The world will never know a tithe of the debt it owes to the wives of great men," Lord Tennyson once said: and it is perfectly true that, apart from their wives which many of our greatest men have so generously acknowledged, the world, but for them, would be poorer by many a masterpiece and the husbands by many a great reputation. It is fairly common knowledge that but for Mrs. Rudyard Kipling her hus band's famous "Recessional Hyman," perhaps the most powerful and valu able tiling he has ever written, would never have seen light. Mr. Kipling had worked at it and written and re written it with so little sense of satis faction that, when it was completed, he tdSsed it into the waste-basket in sheer disgust. It was fortunate for him and the world that the contents of that waste paper basket came under the critical eyes of his wife; for she saw in the discarded poem a gem of rare value, and insisted on its being published, wich what results the world knows. Mascagni owes an equal dept to hia devoted wife, for without her he .would certainly have missed Ills great est and perhaps only chance of fame, and we should never have been charmed with the magic of Cavallerla Rusticana. The now famous opera was com posed when Mascagni and his wife were reduced almost to the verge of starvation, and when heart and hope sunk almost to zero. The winter was bitterly cold, and as there was no fuel in the house and no money to buy any, the young composer in a moment of recklessness and dispair threw the nearly completed score of his opera on the grate, and was on the point of applying a light to it, when his wife rushed to its rescue and saved it just in time. A few weeks later Mascagni found himself the most famous man in Eu rope, fussed and feted like any king and assured of fame and fortune. It was to Millet's wife, the brave and loyal Catherine Lemaire, that be owed his fame and the world some of its most prized nrt treatures. It was only after long years of struggle and dire poverty, through which ho was consoled and supported by his wife, that the peasant-painter was able to tc take the three-roomed cottage at Rarbizon and "try to do something really good." It was then that he began to paint the most beautiful "poem of poverty, the "Angelus," which is today one of the most valu able pictures in the world. Again and again he threw aside the picture in dispair of ever finishing it to his sat isfaction, and as often his wife re placed it on the easel and induced him to continue. On one occasion he was so incensed at not being able to produce a certain effect that he seized a knife and would have destroyed the canvas and ended the matter once for all had not his wife fortunately seized his hand and induced him to give the picture an other trial. Thus it was that, at last the "Angelus" found a place on the walls of the Louvre. The success it won encouraged Millet to paint many more pictures and thus place himself among the immortals in art. —Tit- Bits. fFo R Cerise is one of the fashionable shades this summer. Narrow bracelets of palin and gem set gold are again in fashion. Petticoats of colored brilllantine are new, pretty and serviceable. These come in light shades of pink and blue and other delicate colors, and are trimmed with lace. The hair low in the neck is coming into vogue, though it takes time for women at largo to adopt it. English papers speak of fashionable Ameri cans in London wearing the low coil. White and green and black and green are popular color combination! this season, and the result is very ef fective if the right shade of green be selected, particularly when used with black. Linen is the approved material for out ins gowns, and some particularly handsome models are seen in bright colorings, such as sky blue, strapped with black and white braid, arid white with a touch of orange in the trim ming. White liberty Bilk makes a pretty and useful belt. It is built ypon a crinoline foundation, with a new soft bones to preserve the shape. The belt Is broad in the back and tapers down very narrow in the front, where it la fastened with hooks and eyes and haa a row of small silk buttons on either side of the opening. A charming model of torn linea seen on the golf link within the week had a skirt laid in narrow panels with plaits arranged like Vs. These ex tending almost to the knees, close bolero was made in the same way and there were undersleeves and blouse of white embroidered muslin. About the waist line was a belt of white tafTeta finished with an old silver buckle held down well fn front. PEARLS OF THOJGHT. A song will outlive all sermon 3 In Ihe memory—H. Giles.

A Faalilnn in Vogue in London Now Ex pected to Attack New York. The bead chain has not yet reached in New York the same vogue that it has enjoyed for the (last six months in London, but the craze seems likely to be seen here before* next winter. Al ready there are few girls who have not chains to match particular costumes, and the summer piaz.za leisure has given a decided Impetus to the fad. As it is, the beads have been im ported by the dealers in nearly every conceivable shade. They come In warm tints of terra cotta, and they are bright yellows as well as the more usual tints It must be a strange shade that cannot be found in these beads. The chain should usually fall in front nearly to the knee, and the ends are finished always with some elab orate tassel or otheq ornamentation. The Japanese and other Oriental stores have imported painted and fancy beads in varied colors and designs, and the strand is punctuated with these at different points. They come now in solid colors and also In dull colored carved woods that alternate effectively with the colors of the beads that make up most of the chain. The chains are used rarely to support a lorgnon or locket and are generally intended only for ornament They are rarely strong enough to hold anything heavier than the tassels at the end of the chain. They are not likely to remain a fashion permanently, as they are sim ple enough to be made without diffi culty, and the materials are cheap. The only thing needed to make them well is a certain neatness in stringing the beads. A pretty combination seen the other day was of rather vivid blue beads ornamented at five points in the string by bright yellow beads a little larger than the others. These yellow beads were strung on each side of a long oval black bead on which were painted flowers in a Dresden pattern. Dark brown beads made up with a bright carmine are very ornamental to a dark brown dress. The chains are always to be limited to house wear, and only the informality of country life excuses them in the open air. Most of the department stores sell them now, and in addition to the pretty colors to be found among these exhibits there is always the pleasure of searching In the Japanese and other curio stores for strange Oriental beads. —New York Sun. To ]>oineaticate (lie Zebrii. R. J. Stordy, who is connected with the English government in East Africa, has proposed a scheme by means of which he believes the zebra can be domesticated and made of great use to mankind. He says: "The great difficulty so far has been the domesti cation of the adult animal. I would propose that a kraal be formed within a district where firearms are non-ex istent, as in the case of a preserve. The kraal would have two extondiug arms leading from the open country into it, and it would be large enough to hold a herd of SO adult animals. Several mounted Cape bovs wouui nrst be em ployed whose duty would be to accus tom the zebras to the neighborhood of the kraal and to the sight of horses and mules. Through their following the horses or else by driving them, they arc finally secured in the kraal. Here they would be allowed to breed. As ft has been found almost Impossible to rear a young zebra away from Its mother, the foals would be left in the kraal until they were several months old. Then they would be separated and gradually accustomed to the pres ence of man and the other domesti cated animals. "In the course of a generation or two Mr. Stordy believes that a new, very hardy apd entirely docile beast of burden could be secured, which would have especial value in the dis tricts afflicted with tne tsetse fly, as the zebra Is quito immune to the lat ter's bite.

The ans wer is that France used African sol diers from Algeria in the Franco-Ger man war. Several regiments of Turkos and Spalris fought all through t'he campaign, and the former particu larly d'bvinguished themselves by their bravery against the Bavarian troops in the terrible engagements of Weissenburg. Worth and BazelUes. The term "Turko" was really a nick name given to infantry regiments composed of negroes and and specially organized for service in Al geria. Their uniform was similar to that of tlie Zouaves, except that it was pale blue. Their black faces were of so sinister a cast that it is said tlie German Government circu lated pictures of them among its army in order to accustom the sol diers to the sight of these African op ponents. Many of tlie Turkos fell ill action and large numbers were taken prisoners. A few of them managed itio get back to Paris at the time of tlie Commune. There, without -tlie re straint of discipline, they gave way to drink, and eventualy made them selves such a nuisance that tlie Paris ians were very glad 'to see the last of them.
