The sweets of life she knows must always have some drops of bitte 0 §he takes her disappointments like a man This season the bargain counters seem to happiness 50 no flower of the by season be in bloom a shade earlier than is com- mon, and, as usual, the good things are liberally melanged with the bad. Shirt walsts In dainty lawns, linens and cambrics, without which no woman's summer wardrobe 18 complete nowadays, were never seen in such piles or known to be sold at such low figures before, One great store s having a run in shop- worn French csrsets and hand made under- wear; another makes a specialty of gloves that are slightly defective; and a third has all the gentle fol-de-rols of millinery spread out seductively in trays, and so cheap, cheap! | Certain fragments of Jeweled and spangled | ribbon in the millinery trays are worthy of attention. DECORATIV FRONTS. Dicky fronts are the order of the day now, and these bits of stuff will prove valu- able as colla and belts; when narrow enough it may be used as a decoration to the entire front, which may be of white mousse- line de soie or ccru batiste, kilted. One very elegant front in the market, and that could be copied at comparatively small cost, is of the kilted batiste with stripes of white spangled ribbon running up and down. Another charming front is of white mous- seline de sole with a single great plait down the middle of black spangled ribbon, and with this there was a vast spreading ccllar of the muslin, cut saflor shape at the back and with a front in two squire panels, the whole being outlined with the spangled rib- bon in a narrower widih. This combina- tion collar and dicky was one of the swellest models of the season SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE It was worn with a white chine taffeta gown, patterned with black in a delicate striped and flowered dosign, and the hat that MILLINERY. accompanfed It was a biack sailor shape uniquely trimmed. A great white satin rosette with loops massed like flowers was stuck straight in front, and from this, the sole other trimmings, £prang two long slen- der black wings that projected far over the crown. The cffeet was bota curious and delightful These long, daggerlike wings, by the way, are a featurc of the newest Trench millinery. They have not yet be come pepular enongh to_ be undesirable, but since they may also be found on the bar- gain counters—at from 35 to 060 cents the pair—they are worth considering. They are in black, white and parrot green, tha last being the rarest and most fasnionable color. One very cocky little toque of brown str lately seen on IMifth avenue had two of the parrot green wings thrust in a rosette of wood brown velvet. A rough straw sailor of mottled green and red had black wings in clumps of violet leaves likewise massed en rosette, and the fac similcs of which, it may be useful to know, can be found in ‘any Of the Sixth avenuo shops at 19 cents a unch. ~ The leaves are In that new tender groen that is so much worn and that is so unbecoming to any but the most faultless coloring. BARGAIN GOWNS, A trim little outing frock is another of the season's bargains. Imitation whipcord in an agreeable brown is the materfal, and | the price of it complete, lined throughout, and cut with an astouishing dash, is § Another little gown sold at the same 15 a blue and white checked wool with square jacket fronts to the Eton, and the large cloth-covered button molds worn twenty years or more ago: To this model. as well as in the other, there are also trim suits In plain duck, yel- low and white, that sell at from $4.50 up. Figured and striped piques compose others at $16 the suit, and for the price the jacket shape Is a short, trim box coat, with a tight- 1sh black and loose front. MARKED DOWN UNDERWEAR. There are enticing bargains in petticoats, Never wero silk skirts cheaper, and those that seem to the specuiative eye to have the most enduring qualities are made of a heavy striped taffeta and trimmed with a corded flounce. Moreen, in black, blue or gray, is sold cheaply by the yard, and is much advised as BLACK AND WHITE TAFFETA SILK. & usetul petticoat stuff for hard wear. Ready- made skirts in it are smartly gored and hay godet backs; they can bo bad as low as $1.5 Dainty plain little under petticoats in blue and white, and pink and white etriped per- cale, are marked 49 cents, aud give hints to the frugal mind that has still a taste for dalntiness. With a flounce of white Persian Jawn headed by lace beading, through which is run daisy ribbon tied here and there in full bows, one of these Nttle skirts can be made to look as if it had cost dollars in- “stead of cents. Outing flannel short petti- coats, that are always useful for cool summer days, sell for 20 cents eaeh, and though the colors are the most delicate pinks and blues they wash admirably. CHEAP WASH GOODS. Other zood bargains fo wash materials may be recognizd by the gencrally dusty and tumbled alr that distingdishes them. In fact, it Iv this vory dirt and tumble that marks the genulneness of the true wash bargaln. When, then, the delights oftered ara o the nature of a hand-made potticoat that is wuch shop-worn, and a machine made article that is as fresh, it i3 well to make a quick choice of the former. When both conie to the wash tub it will be the black petticoat and not the white ome that reappears with the hest looks. A good way to rejuvemate & shopworn cor- sat, or auy other, fer that icatter, is to sorub it with @ brash dipped in a strong solution of ammonia and water. Al the stecls should be fAirat removed, and the cor- set then tacked to a buard. on which it should he both serubbed and deled, For washing shirt walsts in delieats cottons it is bost to wso white castile soap and dry them away from the sun. NINA FITCH. | ate, indeed intended for the country handles, hung from a door in her hall, b tween that or a door of the morning room only a matter of choice. The very latest device for suspending the whips Is really unique. It consists of two lengths of very thick, handsome leather, two inches wide and between three and a half and four feet long, finished at the top with a loop for at- taching it to the door, and at the bottom with a nickel-plated or silver stirrup Each strap is provided with three or four hooks, also of nickel or silver, arranged at some distance apart, acros ch the whips are laid—as many hooks as you have whips or vice versa. The straps, it must be unde; stood, hang lengthwise, one, for instance, on the left panel of the docr, the other cn | the right, and the whips are laid across as on a rack. The effect Is very stunning, par- ticnlarly i you have handsome whips Another novelty, which the hous purchasing to make her home attractive, a musical gong. This is especially appropri heuse, the large, rambling country house, where It it not always easy to collect the family for breakfast, say, or dinner. The very formal announcement—by a grand high functionary Dinner is served,” is fine and proper of course, when one Is in town, but in the country less ceremony and more frecdom Is necessary. On this account the mistress of the mansion has bought a musical gong. It is “‘just too sweet for anything" and musical to degree. Five all brass gongs are uspended from a bamboo frame about elgh- teen fuches high and not more than two feet long; with a ther-covered mallet the music is made, like chimes on a small scal but the sound, although “sweet and low, | dresses made with pleated skirt and Trilby | Jacket are trimmed with heavy open em- | broideries or black velvet ribbon, very nar- row and In rows, or else exceedingly wide, a single band forming the trimming, this | overlaid with a narrower band of heavy | lace Insertion.

For | this, pale pinks and lavenders in satin rib- bon will be very common Plaid and striped grosgrain ribbon will be used for | this purpose to some extent, but the satin is preferred, while the grosgrain is more in favor for other uses. The craze for waists unlike the skirts Is said to be on the wane, now that the women BROWN WHIPCORD—FRONT OF SPA NGLED WHITE SATIN RIBBON AND KILTED BATISTE. is far-reaching, and from one end of the house to the other, even though the dis- tances be magnificent, and the family nu- merous, the musical gong is equal to the task of collecting the household for any oc- casion. ~ One very expert in its use and provided with two mallets can make chords that are simply heavenly. It is doubtful if half a dozen people have yet supplied themselves with the latest chhfing dish invention, so much of a noveity 1s it; It is nothing more nor less, in appear- ance, than g very dainty silver tube, with a small trumpet at one end. It is not quite 0 simple, however, as appears at first sight; there is a little slide, which, unless you are a person of keen observation, you would overlook; press this slide and a wee waxen taper appears, with this you light the lamp of your chafing dsih; through the trumpet- like arrangement you finally blow out this light, which otherwise requires a vast out- lay of breath. Speaking of novelties for the table re- calls another, which is really unique—a pot for red pepper. Why not black, you may ask; for the reason that the top of the pep- per pot is fashioned in Ilikeness to his satanic majesty—a little red devil. Fushlon Notes. Skirts remain straight and round, with godet and organ pipe backs. The pewest materials for costumes are alpaca and bareges of the old kind revived. A fetching eotton fabric showing fancy stripes on dark and light blue grounds is known as marine twill. Patent leather shoes with black stockings and tan shoes with stockings to mateh are the reigning styles of the season. The general revival of wash material for gowns will be an interesting phase of the summer world of fashion. All bouftant effects should be left entirely to the thin woman, who needs them and can wear them with good results. Tall women may wear long capes with good results, but those who are short or of medium height should wear them much shorter. Hats of combination straw and satin braid are trimmed with bands and rosettes or standing bows of the same pliable fancy braid. New silk waists of Rob Roy plalded taffeta silk are made with pleated fronts, bias yoke backs, full elbow slceves, and velvet stock collar, Among silks taffeta has the preference for spring and summer wear, as it is of light weave and is produced in'a great variety of effects. Crepe ribbons are made with satin edges that often contrast in hue with crepe, which is very soft and is particularly effective In stock collars. Corsets made especially for cycling are fitted out with elastic on the hips and in the fastenings back and front, so that they give perfect freedom to the figure. Blouse waists of finely striped washing si)ks, with turn-over collars of lawn or white silk edged with lace, are the coolest things possible and dainty to look upon. Morning sults are made of plain or fancy linen, duek or Teviot suitiug with flaring but not godeted skirt, pleated Norfolk basque, and immense slecves and sailor col- | lar. A stunning boating costume is made of blue and white striped canves, with a box plaited blouse walst open in front to show a shirt of tucked lawn trimmed with narrow lace. Fine laces will be used for trimming gowns of India muslin. It Is & novel decroe of fashion that coarse luces arc most suitable for use o brocadsd faffetas and shuilar fabrics.

The tiny tots | who lead the fashions are becoming weary of a mode so universally followed and seck another which will distinguish their attire from that of the mass of womankind. 8o waists of the same material as the sKirts are seen among some of the latest gowns. An illustration of this is a gown of silky black crepon, with waist, sleeves and skirt all alike, ahd trimmed on the waist only with bands of sequined jet and a wide collar of very sheer ecru linen, made with a tiny open insertion of cream embroidery between the hem and upper part, and cut so that it forms three plaits on either side of the tront and back, while it is shaped like a yoke over the shoulders. Femnino Notes. The death of Mrs. Henry C. Lewls of Cold- water, Mich., leaves the art collection pos- sessed by her Jate husband, valued at §300,000, at the disposal of the University of Michigan Mrs. Emmons Blaine has presented to the First Presbyterian church of Richfield Springs a new pipo organ and an addition to the church building as a memorial to her hus- band. It was in this church that they were married. Clio Hinton Huneker, who has been awar’ed the $10,000 prize for her statue of Fremont, says of St. Gaudens, whose pupil she is: “He believes in the future of women, especially as sculptors. 1 have frequently heard him say that the truest artists in his class are women, and that his principal object In tak- ing the class is to afford women an oppor- tunity to prove their genius." Miss Agnes Briggs, daughter of Prof. Charles A. Briggs of the Union Theological seminary, will enter St. Luke's hospital, New York, in the capacity of nurse, and will remain there during the coming summer. She will thus complete the course of instruc- tion in the practical care of the sick, pre- paratory to taking the vows of a deaconess in the Protestant Episcopal church, Lady Mary Hamilion, the youngest daughter of the late duke of Hamilton, will be the tichest peeress in England and probably the world. "~ She 1s only about 10 years old and has inherited the bulk of the late duke's es- te, including the Isle of Arran, which alone is worth $5,000,000. The whole of the duke of Hamilton's property was at his own dis- posal, and the rentals already amount to $1,000,000 per year. All the world loves a lover, even a soul- less Board of Education. That stolid body in Atlanta has reinstated Miss Laura Morgan, one of the principals of the Girls' High school In that city, whose position was for- felted by marrylng her sick lover to nurse him. In addition, the bride has been granted one month’s leave of absence with full pay to >njoy her honeymoon. The Duchess d'Uzes is evidently mot dis couraged by the rejection of her work at the Salon. She is now at work upon a colossal statue of the Virgin Mary, fifty-one feet high, which she Intends to erect on a high cliff on one of her own estates in the Department of the Aveyron. The statue, if so placed, could be seen for miles around, and the duchess is thinking of lighting up the crown by electricity. As a recognition of the services which she rendered to_the republican party last fall Miss Helen Varick Boswell will be sent as a delegate to the Republican National league to be held a. Cleveland on June 16. This is the first honor of the kind ever conferred upon 4D eastern woman. Miss Boswell is one of the 148 delegates which the Empire state sends to the convention, being among the six delegates-at-large, and, of course, the nly woman, “Miss Fly Rod" is the fetching name by which Miss Cordelia Crosby of Maine is krcwn. She s the pride and boast of the Rangley Lake region, where her fishing feats have won for her her quaint pseudonym. She began life in a quiet enough way as post- mistress, but the physiclans told her that she would not live long unless she took to tha open air. Now there isn't a camp in the whole Rangley district where she, her rod and her gun are not known and welcome.

She was a Miss Ripley, but she never wrote until after she was marricd. Her husband sent some of her first verses to the old Union Magazine. by made The position known as confidential man in the Chicago firm of ¥ranklin McVeagh & Co has been filled for some years by Miss Lydia W. Ragatz, who receives a large salary for her services. There are a number of other business women in Chicago who receive large incomes, among them Miss Sara Steenberg, fire insurance; Miss Sara Johnson, head of a department in a big business house; Miss Bertha Eppstein, real estate; who says she is a “self-made man;" Miss Emma 8. Blood, business manager, secretary and treasurer of the Central Music Hall company, and Miss Mabel Babcock, paying cashier in' a whole- sale grocery house. The world-famed animal painter, Rosa Bon- heur, wears her hair short and curly, and is very' manly in appearanc:. She dons the conventional blouse d'atelier when at work in her studio. The first picture Rosa Bon- heur ever exhibited was shown in the year 1840, and represented some rabbits munching carrots. It was readily sold, being the prom- ising precursor of priceless works to follow, but Mme, Peyrol, the painter's sister, re- purchased it in order to preserve it in re- membrance of Rosa’s early proficlency and assiduity. Rosa Bonheur {s surrounded by animals, all of which have been trained to perform’ tricks. She has several dogs of dif- terent breeds, a talking parrot, and a par- ticularly learned owl, who takes the deepest interest in its mistress’s movements. Her benevolence and charity are well known throughout her district, and the peasants who live in the vicinity ‘treat her with affec- tionate respect and call her La bonne dame du chateau. ———e THE PERSISTENT LOVER, They came until T often wondered How I could ever pick and choose; But there was one among the number I vowed I'd certainly refuse.

Under Solomon’s directions we explored the whole island, the “Cedar avenue” drive be- ing our favorite. A clump of bamboon stood sentinel at the beginning.

An item concerning Washington Irving, for the truth of which we cannot vouch, aliliough it contains a deal of good advice for certain youngsters of the present time, has lately come o our notice, says Harper's Round Table. It Is to this intent Washington Irving, in his youth, had a longing to go to xca and be a pirate. He determined to make the attempt, but wisely deciled to prepare himself for it by prelim- inary experience. He began by eating salt pork; that made him sick. He then slept for a night or €0 on hard boards: that made him sore, 1t was enough. He had no more lesire to go away. Other boys who w to capture men-of-war or who desire to go id scalp Indlans would do well to imitate young Irving's example. it THE DOCTOR'S COLUM n St. Paul—I have numb sensations in £ my foot and the ends of my fingers on awakening: what would be a good remedy ?

One of the caves bears tho fascinat- ing name of “Devil's Hole." In the beauti- ful water “angel” and “parrot” fish disport themselves, and the only suggestion of any monsters after the bits of bread thrown in by the visitors. This is one of the regulation rights on the way to the former home of the poet, Moore, to whom a gracious English soverelgn gave ‘a lucrative position of some sort here in 1504. It was what we latter- day Americans call *‘a good snap,” but it wasn’t gay enough for the poet. He liked to be in easy call when Byron sent one of those nice lit'le notes of his saying: “Let’s leave the women at home and go down to London,” so he didn't stay very long—just long enough to make his house a shrine for future pllgrims and do up some sweet senti- mental verses and leave.
