O HACK 11. The treatment of wives of politicians on the hustings in England is in marked con trast with the gallantry shown tbo ox at conventions in the United States. Tiioso who attended the Minneapolis convention will never forgot the uuvo of enthusiasm for Blame started by Mrs. Carson L.iko. The waving of horpaiasol wus n signal for cheers and wild veils that for a time thtoatonod to flffuct , tho'desircd stampede to the man from Maine. It was succeeded oy like cheering for Harrison leu by Mrs. General Now. At tbo Chicago convention n most interesting Hucctuclo was presented by Dr. Mary "Walker , who , clad in a natty black , innscu- line cut , ana standing on an olovatlon back of the chairman , stimulated the cheering Hill mon by wavingbcrimmaculiito cambric , whlto thunder resounded nnd ralr.

In all oases the ladles wore treated with cliarncter- istic national gallantry und tholr assistance ) cheorfullv accepted by masculine loaders. How diiTeicnt tholr treatment in England. Mrs. Henry M.

Savornl times both had to ily to escape harm nt Lho hands of rufllanly political mobs. She was a beautiful'girl , upon whoso lus trous curls twenty summers had laid their roses In showers of color and fragrance nnd upon whoso fair shoulders the dccreo of fashion had placed u pair of suspenders. If any who roud these lines have not yet cot themselves upon this fad they should at once look uu tno latest fashion plates , says the Detroit Free Press. She wus radiant In her loveliness , and the young man who . at bosldo nor when the khadousof thoHvonlng fell wus as happy as ebo was beautiful. It xvns nn Iridescent combination. Ho had proposed und oeen accepted and ho had Just concluded a wild , impulsive embrace that now was tnporing olT Gradually in a tender , ono-armod bug as lingering as a case of tbo grip in a hard winter.

This Is the incident to which Maor | Ander son afterwards referred when ho said : "God Almlehtv nailed that Hag to the mast , and I could not have lowered It If I would. " * The French bicycling costume for ladle * consists of n tunic nnd Knickerbockers inudo oxnctly like these worn uy mon , except that the tunic fomlninn is n llttlo longer than that worn bv mon.

Canvas chatolatno of dark blue nnd black for the outing costume. Patent leather tlQ4 , in alt colors , are to bo the thing for this season's wear. Block suede shoes and gloves to bo worn with til. } stylish suit for mourning. For the mimmor skirt rainbow Houncos of ribbon , pleated , gathered or ruchod. Artlllclnl oats or outs dyed In various col ors are quito conspicuous In millinery. There Is a great deal of point do gene nnd Irish point lace used on gowns this summer. Many of the pretty summer gouns have the lotvcr part of tbo sleeve cloie lltllng and made of lace without lining. Cream , ivory , putty , palo blue , very light green , buttercup , atnborand corn shades are Ilndlng places In tbo heart of the summer Rlrl. Rlrl.Tho The most daring color combination is that in which two tones of rich bued violets are brought into direct conjunction with vivid ucarlot velvet. To pull a dress tightly over the abdomen and thighs , says Eleanor ICIrk , Is an act of coarseness nnd vulgarity which could not bo excelled by the commonest ballot dancer. "What do you thlnlt of my new hat , John I" "Oh , I don't know. What did the thing cost ! " "Nothing. I trudo It myself. " "ByJovo ! It's simply stunning , Mamie. " Ono of the prettiest now blouses Is made of gnycoloioa Scotch plaid surah to bo worn with a plrin sorso skirt. They are nearly all draped on u llltod llnin. , ' with an abundance of frills nnd rulllos. Delaine * nio particularly pretty this year , and run tbo muslins very close as first favor ites. There is only ono objection to them. When they got oven u llttlo sollnd their beauty u almost gono. Hops , their stalks forming thn crown , nro ingeniously used in the composition of a Parisian moJol. The stylish trimmings are a ulack IHCO cnquello , a Jot and diamond tipped phi and strings of tbo palest yellow tint. Lownocked bodices of many summer danc ing dreshps nro trimmed with rocainior fDlds , draped berthas , nnd long , dainty scarfs of petit point , silk not festnonod uro33 thu top at the back , and carried in brotellos down the front. Suspender dresses nro still worn , but thov sue not in the best form. Tlioy nro too man nish and neglige , especially when the voung v/oman substitutes gouuino suspenders for the usual onus llko the skirt , as occasionally is seen. It only requires a pretty faoo to render n last century hat , of Urawn luco with sea col ored luce linings , qulu < perfect ; und the full of glass at thu back Is natural enough to have been but just picked up in some sweet green Held. Sheer yet very durable French muslins are worn tills summer that uro wrought all over with tiny whlto dots and printed with very dcllcato single blossoms or linoclustois , with fplmgo of violets nnd rosebuds , which are still the favored blossoms for tneso muslins The Hnssian stripes , ecovrod with cross stitch embroidery , nro among the latest nov elties. The manner in which ttia sleeves iu\ > put in is ono ol the distinguishing charac teristics of tlioio Kussiau garments The sleeves commence nt the neclt nnd nro not inset - sot ted at the shoulder in the ordinary way. Charming little seaside hats are of the "Nlnlcho" shape , the broad brim slanting down in front , from which protrudes 11 very narrow dainty edge of Oriental lace. These hats uro maoo of fancy straw in all the fashionable color * , and are decorated with standing loops of ribbon or large Alsatian bows of broad , gavly striped silk grenadine. The beautiful laces now in vogue make the short sleeve u special temptation , us the wldo lace rufllo falling over the arm Is Its most charactcristio font uro. The sleeve above the rufllo may bo fashioned to suit the wearer , or her dressmaker , as , If It bo pretty , It may bo anything else that It. chooses. The more original in design the moro It will be admired. If you wish to have vour drawing room prettily decora toil with flowers durlug this hot acasou order the llorul decoration to beef of hydrangeas. They liavo become quito popular , and do not make tbo room stutTy , as tnoy are scentless. A hot drawing room , tilled with the odor of Honors , is not ex actly the place one would wish herself iu nt this limo of the year. Cnmols'hnlrandEnghsh serge w 111 bo largely used for autumn and winter costume , und marino blue , silver blue und the rich shade of Neapolitan blue will bo very popular ; also the hiinilsiiiiio dahlia dvos , thu urowus both goldnn und in dead leaf tones , thu Vnndvko and mahoganv tints of reddish cast , nnd the genuine old rose that is of the exact color of n slightly wilted Jacqueminot. With whlto canvas or suede shoes ouo should wear white stockings. Them nro many inncy stockings with black foot and coloror ) tops in all sorts of designs , points or etrlpos or solid color. These are u llttlo showy , but are sometimes very pretty. Occasionally bright scarlet shoes with silk hose of the same hue are noon with dark diossns , but they uro tbo exception.

Many ot last Hummer's gowns may bo re modeled by gathering a deep , straight skirt to the round or pointed waist , thus convert ing It into a Russian nlouso , or , as a skillful but not vt'ry cultured motlisto writes it , "rushing'1 ' blouse.

"Contraryxvise , " she retorted cheerily , "manv comns from far beyond Egglosford and Chumlelgh , txvonty-flvo mile , sir , by hill and di ; nnd many carts , sir , do bo loaded as heavy as n ton and n half and txvo tons , sir.

It xx-as In nnciont days an old HrltUh town built long before CttMiir , and called Caor Iso or the city an the liver. Antiquarians observe servo that , llko most Colllo trading towns , It xvas built , for safety , some llttlo distance from tha sea , nnd just beyond where the river Exo ceases to bD navigable. Discov oied coins of the Oiock dvnnsty in Syria niu Eeypt provo that Pluuulctun merchants must havu come hero many .xoars before Christ to trudo for Cornish and Dartmoor tin Then the Romans marched In and made It n great station. Lastly , the Snxons fortlflei the town on the Exo , and traded hero will the Cornish Britons across the Tamar. i\ntor In I ho l.lilnr Tlinn. The Exo xvas the frontier then for the Dnmnonlims , but Athelst'ino c.uno nnd Orovo them pollmcll Into Cornwall and rebuilt the xvalis of L'xuter. The Cornish Britons , cooped up among the rocks of Cornwall , soon had their nvoucers , The Danes came crowding up the Exo xvlth their blnok sails aud black banners nnd wintered in Exolor In 870. rejoicing In Saxon boovoa and alo. The old led tower , still scon In the Hougomoiit iulns of today , xvas always getting beaten about by stones from military engines nud chipped by crossbow bolts. William the Conqueror besieged It , wishing to solzo Clthu , mother of Harold , and her daughter , but they escaped safely to Bruges , while Porkln" Wnrbcck , ns Ulchnrd IV. , xvhon joined by the Cornishmrn of Bodmin , besieged - sieged the place but unsuccessfully , and wus Hnally hanged at Tyburn. And so on and on runs the grim story thai has loft just enough scar and hardness on the lovely , leafy old city to odd a melloxv charm to all you may see nnd know. Fifty thou sand font do not live together lu a moro xvln- some spot iu England. The ombcuvered Devon hills xvnlfh surround It , tha glorious X'nlieys which roach tholr grouns and blooms to Its very door , the grand sxveop of the Exo vale to thosea.the city's nobio old antiquities , its beautiful streets , half in the shadows of u romolo architectural past nnd half In the sunshine of modern elegance and adornment , glvo everything upon xvl'ich you look a sxvect and xvln&omo face. Substantial Polk Inn Suliitiuitliil Toun. It all blonds in that line sunset glow which * omo of these old ctithedrM toxxns unto on so Htlincly. The pleasant seeming smiles back to you from polished panes , from snow-xvbito old arches.from bright rod roofs and brighter rod banks of roses , from marvelously clean stcnc stop : und aroaxvavs , from bits of an cient tilings , from doorknoos and brasses glittering lllto burnished gold , from the snuggest and trimmest of shop xvmdoxvs ; in- dnod , from all things that can loll of substan tial , xvoll kept ago without the semblance of a xvrinklo or n froxvn upon it. You fool this sonsn of radiating heartiness und amplitude aeain in Exeter around the market plac ° J ou tboso pleasant market days. All the country folk gathered hero are xvoll garmented , comfortable nnd cheery , 'J hey all look as though they had stepped out of tha ' moirio old Enelnnd" of the books , noxv so hard to Hnd outside of Ihe covertof these books. Pride glows in their faces for old Devon and Exeter , Its capital , nnd In thorn- selves. They do say Dickens found his "Fat Bov , " of Dlngloy Bell , among them. And xvell ho might , for thov are tut and line ana staunch , ono and all. KOsy. overlapping joxvls and hie paunches , suptreslivo of plum puddings mid the famous "clotted cream" of Devon , are ovcryxvhero among them. You are thus in lova xvlth Exeter long before you have many times xvnndcred up and doxvn Queen and High alreets , sauntered throuuh the urcado of Chapel street , peering into the old half timbered structures that cluster in stately fashion around the wldo cathedral close , and have at lust come among the silences within the great cathedral xvalis. Ilxctor Ciitlirilrul. A pedant can alone toll another tbo oxacti- ludos and measurements of such a mossy , massive , marvelous edifice. Coming ono by ono to England's splendid cathedrals , you xvlll at last surely remomuurof them all these Impressions upon your mind and heart which seemed most powerfully charactorislio of each. In the ponso of architectural distinctiveness - ness Exeter cathodtal will remain in your mamory remarkably distinguished from all other English cathedrals. Their plans in variably comprise n nugo central tower nnd small toners at the west end. Hoio are toners crowning the transept. This docs away xvilb tbo usual four cumbersome arches nrchitnclurally separating nave and choir , and permits the grandest uninterrupt ed vioxv of vault and vista of tbo entire nave and choir to bo found In England. Txvo other structural peculiarities are seen in Ibis cathedral. Thu choir and Die nave are of equal leneth , and Ihroughout the xvholo odilico the openings are xvldo and loxv , rather than nnrroxv nnd lof ly. The loiter feature contributes groally , along xvltb the emphatic foolin ? that the sliucturo is not a liodgopodgo of "restoration , " but ono great design , to a sense in Iho beholder of inde scribable brcadlh and spaciousness. What ever else you uiuy fool within Exeter cathe dral , which has stood hero practically as you noxv see it for corlalnly more than GOO und lorunps moro than bOO years , it xvill remain n your memory ns the ono cathedral of Eng- and xvhlch must stand as the hfghoU expres sion in consecrated slono of perfect digi.it/ and repose.
