Don’t, therefore, be too formal, but don’t run around the room when there are a number of people, shaking hands indiscrimin- ately. There are no positive rules in this mat- ter; a little tact is all that is necessary. RULES FOR THE HAT. Will please inform me if it is good form to wears. straw hat on Sunday when attending church or in the street, and oblice? We discussed last week at considerable length the rules of the hat, or rather the lack of any rules. An Englishman, for instance, does not Wear a straw hat to church, but then neither does he wear a derby hat or a sack coat to church. In this country very few people make any distinction in their head-wear; those who do would not wear a straw hat to church or upon any occasion at all ceremonious in character. Climate, however, has something to do with this question. for on a very hot day a straw hat would be appropriate and admissible, while in cooler weather it would not. HABITS OF MEN AND WOMEN. ‘A discussion took place recently in a social circle Bpon the comparative Labits of men and women. It ‘Was agreed to ask your opinion on this subject. The habits of women, comparing class with class, are certainly better than those of men. They have not nearly so many disagreeable tricks. They do not expectorate; they do not chew their toothpicks; they do not finger and scratch themselves: they do not stretch out their legs; they do not gape in your face; they do not snort nor sneez they do not puff and blow. They are always more composed Manner, more self-restrained. more observant of little niceties. One of their worst habits is to giggle and laugh at nothing. Many of them can never speak without a giggle, whether anything amusing is ssid or not. Another bad habit is that of pitching their voices in a high key. Take them altogether, however, they set men in most things a very good example, COLLAR FASHIONS. Is there any established rule with men about wear- ing the collar* Are there occasions, for instance.when. a ing collar would be more appropriate than a turn-down collar? sa — There are no rules about the collar, only fashions. And yet a standing collar gives more dignity than a turn down collar and hence is Preferable for dress occasions, The funda- mental rule is to wear a collar, for a great social gulf lies between men with collars and men without collars. The author of a recent English novel, describing life in the London slums, gives a little essay upon the social effect of the collar. There is always hope, he says, for the young workman who wears « collar: it is a sign that he is ambitious and will probably get along; but the collarless man has aban- med himself to his conditions, and will sink rather than rise. LETTER WRITING. Will you kindly give me the proper form of begin- faing andending a letter to friends and acquiantances? salutation of a letter to an acquaintance should be “My dear Mr. Smith;” to intimate friends the “Mr.” may be dropped. Of course if the writer knows his correspondent so well asto address him in speech ie Christian name he would naturally do the same in a let. ter. Some old-fashioned people use as a salu- tation “My Dear Friend” or “Friend Smith,” but neither of these modes is considered in “good form.” The complimentary close of a letter may be “Sincerely, yours.” “Faithfully, yours,” “Yours, cordially,” or “Yours, ever.” WEARING GLOVES. It seemed to © inven nthe band ou he wtreet Soe ee az uid like to kuow whether you agree with me.

The family will remain at their present resi- dence until the return of the Chief Justice and Mrs. Fufer, after which they will visit the coast of Maine. In the meantime the various offers of desirable properties for a residence will be considered, pet a selection made before the beginning of the next season. THE MATTHEWS’ FAMILY. After the marriage of Miss Jean Matthews to Mr. Justice Gray, of the Supreme Court, on next Thursday, the estate of the late Justice Matthews will be settled in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. Before his marriage, Justice Matthews presented his beautiful home, tlendale, near cinnati, to his daughters, There was a disposition on the = of the young ladies to oppose their father’s remar- riage, but the devotion and tenderness shown by Mrs, Matthews during the long months of the justice's illness completely won their hearts. ‘They cannot now sufficiently express their ad- miration and gratitude for the thoughtful and unwearying care their father received in his last d@ys. It is understood from the friends of Mrs. Matthews that her purpose is to purchase or build a smaller residence in Washington and make that her home. The justice left consid- erable property, and so devised that Mrs. Mat- thews will be very comfortable. ‘MRS. SHERIDAN’S HEALTH. The illness of Mrs. Sheridan is causing much anxiety among her friends. Since her loss she has net rallied in spirit as those nearest to her have wished. The late general’s estate included much non-productive property, which has been adrain upon his widow's reduced revenues, The government pension of $2,500 a year is about the largest single item of income. The fund inaugurated by Geo. W. Childs, of Phila- delphia, «nd other admirers of the departed hero, isgrowing but tardily. Several months ago Mr. Childs came to Washington and, quietly calling upon Mrs. Sheridan, handed her a check for contributions up to that time. The balance of theamount is very slow in comin; in. Mr. Childs, however, has not abandoned the merited enterprise, and will urge those who admire the career of the distinguished sol- dier to join him in completeing the whole amount proposed. ‘MISS EMMA JENKS, The marriage of Miss Emma Jenks, daughter of the late solicitor-general, to Benjami Shively, of the South Bend, Indiana, district, atthe bride’s home, Brookville, Penn., on June 19, will bring back to the social life of the capi- tal one of the belles of the official circle dur- ing the late administration. Miss Jenks, who is « graduate of the Blairsvills, Pa., seminary, made her debut in Washington, and was always @ great favorite with Mrs. Cleveland. She was invited amoug the fortunate guests at lunch- eons to ladies of official and fashionable life, and on many occasions was one of the assisting arty behind the line at Mrs. Cleveland’s draw- g-rooms. She isa petite brunette and very pretty. She was a gifted conversationalist and added greatly to the pleasures of the social enter- tainments in which she was often called to assist. The prospective bride isa little over twenty and the prospective groom is just thirty-two, and one of the youngest members of the lower branch of Congress, As Mr. Shively has been re-elected he will bring his young wife with him to Wi ps i during the season of 1889-'90, asthe bride of the fashionable circle of the Representatives. Mr. Shively began life as an educator, continued as a journalist and culmi- nated asa lawyer. He is now entering his sec- ond term in Congress. A MILLIONAIRE SUITOR, Miss Jenks, as a young girl, spent a winter at Washington in school during her father’s term as Representative in Congress. In 1885 her father, having been appointed Secretary of the | Interior shortly after, resigned that office to take charge of the legal business of the nephew | and heir of John DuBois, a three-times-over | millionaire lumberman of northwestern Penn- | sylvania. It is said that John DuBois very much admired the bautiful daughter of his | legal adviser, and friends say that he would have offered her his hand and his millions had he received any encouragement. The young man of wealth, since his vast inheritance, has been in his own control, and has displayed re- markable business sagacity. The entire manage- ment is now in his hands, subject to the legal management and counsel of General Jenks, Since the tender of the solicitor-generalship and the acceptance of the responsible post, Genera! Jenks and his wife and daughter have been prominent in the social world. Mrs, Jenks is the daughter of Thomas Mabon, a large flour, woolen and lumber-mill owner of Jefferson county, Pennsylvania, MRS. KATE CHASE AS AN AUTHOR. It is said by the friends of Mrs. Kate Chase that she is engaged in arranging the papers left by her distinguished father, and in that con- nection will prepare an account of his life, which will constitute a chain of connection so as to make @ consecutive narrative of events with which his commanding abilities were asso- ciated. It is also understood that Mrs. Chase has pear my of ————t social reminiscences from the time when was a lady, just out, in the days of Harriet Laue, and a balla in the Lincoln cabinet circle, down to the death of her pene eprom which time she has taken no part in soci ‘airs. experiences of Mrs. Chase would add a valuable chapter to the pa of the politico-social life of the cap- ii Miss Ethel §; » who has been in New York studying for the stage, is at the home at for the summer, ‘MR.

Very soon after her arrival at Philadelphia Mrs. Wanamaker will come to Washington for a brief visit before going to her summer home near Philadelphia. In society Mrs. Wanamaker 4s very conservative. Her chief pleasure is in works of humanity, a noble cause in which she has been active in her native city fora long time. There is ample field for a woman of Mrs. Wanamaker’s benevolence in Washington. The fashionable charity of the capital is not only a source of much national entertain- ment to the ladies and their friends, but always results in a liberal flow of cash into the coffers of the institutions patronized. The Postmaster-General, with the assistance of his “daughter-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Wanamaker, has already done a great deal of informal enter- taining at his Washington residence. His more distinguished friends in trade, church or poli- tics, have been guests at his hospitable board during their visits. The ladies of his house- hold manage the domestic affairs of that large establishment with great credit to their skill in housekeeping. Every day the parlors. ball and dining-rooms are decorated with blooming plants which give an air of home happiness | #nd sunshine. ‘The return of Mrs. Wanamaker and her daughters is all that remains to com- plete the domestic circle of the Postmaster- General and to introduce to Washington life, official or otherwise, one of the most delightful of households. PHOTOGRAPHING THE SUPREME BENCH. An amusing story is told ofa recent pho- tographing of the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. The artist of the lens had posed the august jurists in their satin robes of the bench and secured his negative. On a bright day soon after he reproduced the life-like similitude of the features and forms of the expounders of the law. Proof copies were sent to each one of the jearned group. The sky line of altitude was decidedly erratic and called out Justice Bradley, who made decided ob- jection to the picture. The justices were posed standing. The lowstatue of Justice Bradley was in marked contrast with the towering form of Justice Gray at 6 feet 4 inches. on one side, and the almost equal height of Justice Harlan on the other. The sudden drop gave the pic- ture the appearance of achasm in the court portrayal and a schism between the distin- guished justice from New Jersey and the pho- tographer was the result. The artist made every defense before the member of the bench, but without avail. The justice declared that he looked like a boy by the side of his two pon- derons and tofty brothers of the bench, and cut the matter short by directing the protographer to destroy the negative and send him the bill for the work done. A hundred dollars, it is said, barely canceled the objection. Z The court arranged another photographic dress parade. This time the short justices | arbitrated their differences in height by stand- | ing upon improvised pedestals of empty lemon boxes convenient at hand, The effect, that is, of equalization of height, the lemon boxes | being kept under cover, was satisfactory.

R. K. ‘see Written for Tae Eves THE Srar. STARS OF JUNE. Planets and Constellations that will Make the Night Sky Brilliant. THE ANNULAR ECLIPSE OF THE SUN--PLANETS THAT WILL BE VISIBLE—THE NORTHWARD JOURNEY OF THE SUN—THE GRAND PROCESSION OF THE STARS THROUGH THE HEAVENS. The occurrence of special astronomical inter- est during the month of June is an eclipse of the sun on the 28th, but as it is visible only in South Africa, Arabia. India, and partially in the East Indies and Western Australia, it is not likely that observations of any real value will be secured. Itis one of the kind known as annular eclipses. The moon comes directly be- tween us and the sun, but as the apex of the great funnel-shaped shadow cast by the moon falls short of the earth by several thousand miles, the effect is that the moon’s disk is not quite big enough to cover the sun completely, and a narrow ring or “annulus” of sunlight is left; if the apex of the shadow-cone reached the earth we should then have the sun entirely covered—totally eclips a phenomenon of much greater value to astronomers, affording an opportunity, while the intense light of the sun is cut off, to study the upper atmosphere of our central luminary. The only observation to be made in an annular eclipse is to note accu- rately the instants that the limbs or edges of the disks of the sun and moon come together and separate, and the duration of the annulus of light. Such observations will furnish data for correcting the lunar tables, and will thereby enable us to make more accurate predictions in regard to eclipses and to furnish mariners with more accurate positions of the moon, upon which they sometimes depend for longitude, The sun works his way north until the 2ist of the month, when he enters the sign Cancer, and summer “officially” begins. He rises on this date at 4h. 31m. and sets at 7h. $1m., making the day 15 hours long, the longest of the year. The moon isin its first quarter on June 6, fulls on the 13th, is in the last quarter on the 20th, and is new on the 28th. THE PLANETS, Mercury continues well situated for observa- tion till June 9—far north in declination, and setting nearly an hour after the sun. Advan- tage should be taken of this opportunity to catch a glimpse of this rapidly moving member of our family immediately after sunset. On the 18th he is in ‘inferior conjunction,” and then passes over to the western side of the sun to fill the role of morning star for the rest of the month. Mars is oy) started invisible, Jupiter is the bright star low down in the southeast during the early part of the evening. On the 24th he is in opposition with the sun— that is, he crosses the meridian at midnight, Onthe morning of the 14th, about 7 minutes past 5, he is partly occulted by the moon. Saturn is in the constellation Leo, crossing the meridian about 4:30 in the afternoon, some 50 minutes ahead of the bright star Regulus, On the 3d he is in conjunction with the moon. By the end of the month he is too near the sun to be examined with advantage. Uranus is readily recognized with the naked eye a littie north and east of the 4th magnitude star, ThetaVirginis, crossing the meridian about 8:30 on June 1 and about 6:30 on June 30, Neptune is still invisible in the sun’s rays, THE CONSTELLATIONS, The apparent motion of the sun among the stars, nearly a degree each day toward the east, has carried several of the constellations that have been especially attractive during the spring below the western horizon; they are replaced by others, hardly less interesting, in the east. At about 9 o’clock on any evening during the earlier part of the month constellation Scorpio will be seen coming up in the southeast, requir- ing but little imagination to convert the tortu- ous trail of stars into the gigantic monster that terrified Phaeton to such an extent on the me- morable occasion of his attempt to drive the chariot of the sun, that he lost control of Apol- lo’s horses and narrowly missed a trous collision with the eart! The chief star in Scorpio is the deep red Antares. Further to the west is the constellation Virgo, its brightest star Spica about an hour past the meridian. Leo, with its tirst magnitude star, Regulus, is nearly due west, and the twins, Castor and Pollux, are quietly going to bed a little farther round toward the north, Ursa Major, more familiarly described by its seven principal stars forming the ‘‘dipper,” is high up in the north- west, a little past the meridian; cassiopeae, with the five bright stars forming the letter W, is al- most directly under ere ». Lyra is well up in the east, and is follo by Cygnus further toward the north and Aquila toward the south. The bright red star Arcturus of the constella- tion Bootes is on the meridian, and just follow- ing it and a little further north is the Northern Crown. Bodtes was called by the Greeks the Bear Driver, because it seems continually to chase the Great Bear in his path around the One story is that Boites was the sun of | opens Colisto, whom Juno, in one of her Coenen na of jealousy, turned into a bear. Bootes, who had become a famous hunter, one day started up a bear, and, not knowing that it was his mother, was about to kill her, when Jupiter came to the rescue and snatched them both up into the sky.

There is no question of that, Marion. “*I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more." Tam one of ‘Marion's men.’ as the boys call me now, by birth and breeding, for my great- grandfather was sworn aide and ally of the Swamp Fox. Hugh Heriot, of that day, was his leader’s right hand all through that long hiding and skirmishing that so harassed the British from swamp and morass, Many a tale has my grandfather told me by the big fire- place at Heriot of those old days, till my heart and head were full of patriotisi I was fed on love for my country from my first remem- brance; do you thik it will fail me now?” Marion Lancaster's dark eyes flashed back the look of her lover's, “‘No! but then— Will it seem |e sm to them, Hugh—to your cae a at home?’ “I don’t know. I have a horrid doubt some- times, But it is my country; I have no other— my own grand magnificent country—east, west, north, or south. “Faght for its unity, against its separation, for no latitude or longitude. If my own people have lived so long in Georgia that their good Scotch blood runs thin with the Janguor of luxury, [have been here in these hills long enough to get back the iron intomine that lay only in abeyance. I must go, Marion; and I must go on the side of right. You could not keep me, dear. and I know you would not.” A spasm of anguish quivered over her beav- tiful proud face, but her voice was true and clear, “Idare not keep you, Hugh. Women have a sense of honor, too—a love of country.” Some of them,” said Hugh, bitterly. He was thinking of his classmate and chum; whose weak, loveiy little fiancée was doing her utmost to keep him out of the army, day after day. Hugh looked at Marion with love and pride in his eyes, “You are the right sort,” he said, as he drew her more closely against his shoulder. “I wish I knew how things were with Sandy,” he went on, “Mother has no one else on the plantation but Cornelia; my cousins, I know, have joined the army of the south. Georgians born and bred, though Aunt Carr was a Con- necticut woman, like mother, they are typical southerners; they have neither my Scotch blood nor my northern education. Iknow well which way is theirs, I can’t blame them, though I heartily disagree with them.” Marion looked up sther lover with something higher than emotion in her eyes; his justice and candor amazed her. In the seething pas- sions of the time she had never before heard one just word uttered for those whose honest convictions arrayed them on the other side. “It is well now for your mother that Sandy did not share your strength,” she said, think- ing with a woman's instinct how lonely Mrs. Heriot would be without either son. Hugh laughed. “Perhaps it is just as well for me, Marion, Had we both been strong and well we should both have come north—mother is a fanatic about New England education—and then we should both have fallen in love with you. sweetheart. What a dilemma for you!” “How do you know?” said Marion, half smil- ing. “Oh, Sandy and I are twins all through, ex- cept for his delicate organization, He and I liked the same things, dreamed the same dreams, read the same books, are so alike, even mother was at times puzzled to tell us apart. Old Dr. Severance used to say that we were, after all. only one boy, without physique enough for the two bodies we ‘materialized’ into. I always felt ashamed, ina dull sort of , to be so robust when Sandy could not keep i with me; buthe is far the sweeter- natured of the two. You would have loved him the better, Marion.” “Never!” was the swift, indignant answer, So Hugh Heriot enlisted with a northern regiment, parted his sweetheart bravely, and left her to wait as hundreds like her were left in those dreadful days, Did we know then, shall we ever know—we who came out scathless—what those women suffered who, tied hand and foot, maddened by the poor recurrent routine of daily life, filled with vague imaginative terrors, had yet to live and do their petty duties under the edge ofa sword worse than the fabled blade of Damocles? Honor forever to that noble army of martyrs? To them no less than to those who lost their lives on the actual battlefield should monu- ments arise and wreaths be offered. They were the beating heart that sent strong life- blood into the battling hand, and, oh! how often perished with it! Not in’ the pallor and decay of physical death; not in the rest and shelter of the flower-strewn grave, but in the broken heart, the joyless life, the desperation of memory, the “dying, yet behold we live,” that death in life that is the greatest if not the last enemy. If there were other women who suffered more than Marion Lancaster in this dire sus- pense she did not know it; it seemed to her no eart could be more forn ‘with anxiety, more tortured by the silence that yet thrilled with dreadful possibilities, than hers. She did not consider that her love for Hugh Heriot was a young passion scarcely rooted in her breast; that she was bound to him by none of the strong ties of those who had sent their hus- bands out to war, and crouched on desolate hearth-stones with clinging children about them who might the next hour be Moca ean she thought she suffered all she could, and as week after week grew into month after month, and the second year came lingering on, she grew thin, pale and listless. For Hugh Heriot had yet had no furlough; the few times Marion had heard from him he had spoken of his intention to apply for one at the year'send, but he had enlisted for the war, and felt that while his strength lasted he must fight; he was more needed on the field than even Marion needed him. Yet after the first year began there were no more letters, and after the battle of Lookout mountain the lists of killed and wounded came in so slowly that it was a long week before the “very last showed among the list of “missing,” “Hugh Heriot, Major C. Tenth Infantry.” “Missing!” Can words expound what that one word meant in those days/” Not the sharp blow of “wounded,” which implied possible life, and even a hope of immediate repair to the sufferer, and all the gentle ministries to relieve one and console the other, blessed in giving or taking. Not the stun and desolation of “dead,” that left no worse to fear. nor tan- talized with the ignis fatuus of hope; but that one fatal word that tortured but did not slay; that bound the victim to the stake aes the fagots, but delayed to light the fire till the waiting grew to be madness, Marion was a warm-hearted imaginative girl, and “‘Missing” meant to her a long chapter of surmised agonies, In her waking hours she figured so many and such dreadful possibilities that her sleep renewed and exaggerated, she ited such sufferings for her lost lover, such rrific and harassing situations, that it would have been a peers relief to her to know of his death: yet she would. not admit it to her- self. She lost all that held her to life, when, just as the war ceased, her widowed mother died suddenly and without one farewell word. It would have been better for Marion had necessity forced her to exertion, but she had enough money to live on comfortably, and so she shut herself in her tiny house with her old servant, and made herself @ solitary mourner. Her beautiful and abundant brown hair grew white as snow, and her eyes lost their sparkle; but her health gradually asserted itself anew, her constitution was strong, and she al- most lived out-of doors, either in her a which was her sole amusement and pleasure, or walking over the breezy hills of the country about. She had never been half so beautiful when Hugh Heriot knew her as she was, eight ears after, when, one exquisite morning in May, she stood by her door cligping boughs of hawthorn from her one cht ied tree, and lacing them beside the apple blossoms she Bad already gathered in a large basket. There too were sheaves of pale narcissus, trails of heaven blue myrtle, a fs he later snow- drops and gorgeous for it was memorial day, and aver since its observance had Marion failed to carry whatever blossoms she could find to the cemetery, and add her share tothe honors of the few dead soldiers who slept in that small and shaded of rest. smote her every to of that un- honored where her lover's body rested, for long ago she had given yee for his life.

Z There was a long story to tell when Marion could listen; but through it all she felt astrange and ghastly sense that she was listening to a tale from another world; was following a sound in the dark, Alexander Heriot was indeed the true image of his brother; he had been tall and pale and delicate in his youth; but when the war broke out, and he openly avowed his opposition to the course of the south, he was obliged for his mother’s and his life's sake to take refuge in the mountains till he could find a way to join the army of the north, as he knew Hugh had done. The outside life and enforced exercise restored him to perfect health, and in six months he had found the Union army, but not Hugh; and vol- unteering into the ranks, had fought’ well and bravely till peace came; then he went back to his native place only to fina his mother dead. and his sister, the bride of a day, widowed and alone, but bitter against him with that intense bitterness that only exits between those who are kindred, and have been dear to each other. There toohe found the report of Hugh as “msing,” and having no home—for his sister had gone to her husband's friends in Savannah— and no means tomake the plantation remunera- tive, he sold it forasmall sum, and dividing the proceeds with Cornelia, devoted himself to trac- ing Hugh. At last, by one of these accidents we ought to call “providents,” he discovered his brother's knapsack in the hut of a poor man not far from the battlefield, and by dint of rewards offered learned that the man from whom that knapsack was taken had crept away mortally wounded to the shelter of afew bushes during the fight, and had been found there by the “Cracker,” who took possession of his arms oie oe “But he made a grave for our poor Hugh, Marion,” Alexander said, with a trembling voice. grave where decorationss never fail. The fellow showed me where he buried him, between two pine trees. On one of them climbs a Cherokee rose that drops its thick white petals on the sod, and wild blossoms have trailed all over the mound, till it is fair as your mother’s grave to-day. I could but think when I saw it that the God of the brave and the loyal had not forgotten Hugh’s lonely pil- low in the wilderness, After leaving his brother's place of rest, Alexander had opened his knapsack and found in it Marion’s letters and her picture. As Hugh had said, the twin brothers were alike in every fiber, and Alexander's heart opened at once to enshrine the lovely woman Hugh had adored and left for his country, But what had he to offer her? Before he dared endeavor to fill his brother's place he must have a home to which he could ask Ma- rion; he could not honorably ask her to share his poverty, for it was utter. Before long, however, he found a place in some of the new enterprises of the south; worked there as manfully ashe had fought, and just as soon as his position was assured, and he could ask an absence from the work, he came to the north, and arriving at Alton on Memorial Day, was directed where to find Ma- rion at her mother’s grave. Her whole heart went out to him as soon as he spoke; for to her he was Hugh, and no other—the aspect, the voice, the manner, even the very thoughts he shared with her, were all Hugh's, and the man’s nobility forbade him to feel one jealous pang when, without even knowing it, over and over she gave him his brother's name. Nor did she delay her marriage, as he feared might be her wish: “We have been engaged so long,” she an- swered him, when he asked her, “that I do not feel it is haste. Dear Sandy, Hugh told me I should love you, if I knew you, better than I loved him.

A Queer Colony of Vegetarians—Pros- perous Woman Members of It. From the San Diego (Cal.) Sun. The route from San Diego to the desert slope on the eastern side of the county’s moun- tain ranges, which was partially described in Wednesday's Sun, stopped midway at Ballena, 2,750 feet above the sea. From this point the road ascends through a narrow canyon shaded with ancient oaks, which soon opens out into a great valley of surprising beauty. Turning south a side road leading to San Vicente runs down along canyon where some interesting people, devotees of the vegetarian cult, have made their homes, They, too, wandered down from Colton, a distance of 130 miles or more, nearly three years ago. The party comprised Mr. Le Beuf, his wife, and their ward, Miss Hadley, all from St. Louis, Mo. Mr, Le Beuf pushed a large wheelbarrow before him, filled with their possessions, and the women—notable for their short hair and bloomer dress—trod cheerfully along beside him. They were seeking a location for a home on government land, and they chose it in the wildest part of the canyon. rs. Le Beuf's health had broken down in kinder, 2 work at St. Louis, and for this reason they came to the coast. e invalid had found the weight of ordinary clothing intolerable, and both of the women had therefore adopted the bloomer costume, with high shoes of gray cloth button- ing up the leg, instead of the usual trousers, Mr. Te Beuf went to work clearing the land, and in ashort time had stretched a circular canvas over the saplings for their dwelling, making it resemble a big bee-hive. Linseed oil was rubbed on the cloth to make it water- proof. Furniture was constructed of the nat- ‘ural woods with their bark and mosses, A gar- den was planted and grain sowed. Then Miss Hadley found a pocket in the rocks @ little higher up the canyon, which leased her, and she filed a pre-emption claim oa shty acres. A canvas dome rose on her clearing, which is now a marvel of produc- tiveness. Miss Cook, another vegetarian, came out from Missouri to assist her.
