"See tbkt couple thwe," be said, P Ing hla arm la th direction of a young Ban In a blue serge autt and a pretty young woman In a tailor-made crash traveling gown. "They know how to Joy life, they do.

Sometimes they make the trip two or three times In one morning. It only costs 'em a few cents, and they get lota of breeie and coolness out of It, Tbey have always good seats, because they are the first pawtengers on board the car every time. They Just make themselves comfortable. " "No mosquitoes here, John.' I heard her say the other morning. "Not much, Dorothy,' says he, 'and I tell you that New York Is better than a hall bedroom in the country, with the mosquitoes lacerating you and the canned vegetables making your soul "weary."

A moment later thoy were left behind In the dark ness of Columbus avenue. MILADY 19 MILKING COWS. U Ska The Color of Wat or. The fact Is generally known that pure water appears blue when light Is transmitted through a Sufficient thick ness of It, and that when opaque par ticles are suspended In It the hue of the water la greenish. But while pure water looks blue when light passes freely through It. yet when It Is con tained In a deep, opaque receptacle, Ilk the basin of a lake or the ocean, It ought to absorb all light and look black. Experience shows, however, that the deepest parta of the Medlter- ranean, for Instance, appear not black, but tntenaely blue. This has been supposed to be caused by minute par ticles held in suspension, but the re cent experiments of Prof. Spring at Liege suggest a different explanation. He has found that warmer currents passing through pure water interrupt 1U transparency, even wnen tne air- ference of temperature is very slight. Buch currents may cause deep water to appear blue by reflecting light back from Its depths through the transpar ent layers above. This, It Is suggest ed, explains the fact that fresh water lakes are more transparent in winter than In summer, because in winter currents of heated water are not trav rsln them. Even the shadow of i mountain falling on a lake may In crease the transparency of the water by cooling the surface. Always th War. Calkins "Why, old chap, what hit you? You look as If you'd been in the hands of a mob." Baldwin "That'a JuBt what I've been in. See that lump on the side of my head? That's the result of being hit by a brick. My nose was broken by a club in the hands of one of the rioters, and my left ear was carried away by bullet." Calkins "Good gracious! Why, didn't know that you were a member of the mllltla or has there been trouble with the men out at your ahop?" Baldwin "No, you haven't guessed It I filled an engagement as an inno cent bystander." Cleveland Leader, lata. ra4 la Sclif aa4 VaiffcUs- Society's latest fad. If we may believe report, says milady Is milking cows for amusement and charity, says the New York Herald. At a certain fashionable country seat the hostess, who is much Interested In parish work. Invented, er rather Inaugurated, this fad for chari table purpose, with the result that so ciety has taken It up and for the mo ment the Holstelns and other nreeas of cattle are wondering what on earin Is the matter. Bazaars may net consid erable for the church, but to see dainty daughters of society In picturesque costume or evening dress sitting on the lawn milking a gentle-eyed cow is so grest a novelty every man for miles around will come and buy a glass of milk for sweet charity's sake, thereby swelling the receipts for milady's pet work. WLxt the cows think of It can not be rerorded. Their expression ould load one to suppose tbey feel highly honored. Milady a tapering ngers and deft manipulation of their uddene doe not lead tuem to suppose she is not an expert, nor can it be said she Is not. As soon as mllaiy la In terested, languid and Indolent as ehe may seem, whatever Is a fad with her ill quickly be learned. It was with some trepidation, nowever, mat ius milking of cows began. Every time tho cow looked around or switched her tall milady grew frightened and ex pected the pall to be kicked over. On one or two occasions this did happen, to the great amuwment of the persons ho stood arouud. We shall iear or Innumerable lawn fetes, whw? the rincliMil feature will be the making of cows by society women this iiimmer. and many a flirtation, carried n over the milk pall, will later on Urtnlnaie In an engagement In the conservatory. There Is nothing more bewtteh ng than two rounded arms, bared to the elbow. wo roguish eyes glancing up t you, a sensitive mouth smiling at you, ana then you are lost It may be milk you re drinking at f 3 a glass.but yuu don t care. Milady sometimes wears a mim ing costume of Dresden ahnpherlfss de sign, and then she Is like a picture. Two or three girls whose houses are adjoining had the cows brought up near the veranda and while milking them kept up a Ore of conversation about the current event In society. Another time six society women de voted a morning to the "art" or milk ing. Six cows were led on the lawn and six men, who were experts, taught their mistresses how to milk. What sight for the bystander! In dainty muslin gowns, large picture hats, the milkmaid of society cuts a dash, as she does in everything. The KIWar Lining-.
