LOOKED FOR OTHER TWO. Little One Had Out One Idea of Term "Fore-Handed. " Little Catherine has been boarding on a farm this summer , nml many of the rural expressions are wholly un familiar to her. One day she chanced to hear her country hostess praising the good qualities of a certain thrifty neighbor. "Ho really ain't got much , com pared to Bomo folks , " said the farm er's wife , "but he makes out wonder ful well ; he's co fore-handed. " That evening the man thus lauded happened to drop In , and Kathcrlno Immediately sidled up to him , with cu rious eyes. Slowly she revolved about the chnlr In which ho sat , and so per sistently did slio gaze at him that the farmer's wife finally noticed It. "Well , Katherlnc , " she said , "you seem to flnd a good deal to look at In Mr. B ; don't you ? " "Why , " replied the child , her little forehead wrinkled In perplexity. "I did want to see his two uvver hands , but I cun't IB he slttln * on 'em ? " OF COURSE HE WOULDN'T. "You certainly wouldn't marry a girl for her money , would you , Tom ? " "Of course not ; neither would I have the heart to let her become an old maid because she happened to be well off. " Absorb'ng. ' Silas Ha ! Ha ! Reuben got bunkoed again. Cyrus Do tell ! What was It this time ? Silas Why , Reuben saw an ad that stated that for one dollar they would send him some of the most ab sorbing literature ho ever read. Cyrus And what did they send him ? Silas Why , they sent him a pam phlet entitled "How Blotters Are Made" and another entitled "Points on Turkish Towels. " The Old-Time Boy. The boy of to-day who complains of anything should bo made to read the rules and regulations laid down for boys In old colonial days. He had to etand up at tbe table. He must go to bed at candlelight. He must not sit down In the presence of a visitor. Ho must not shout lie must not run without cause. He must not throw utones at animals or birds. Ho must not Idle on the street , and If ho had been found trying to stand on hlo head he would have gone to jail for a week. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great Im portance. Defiance Starch , being free from all Injurious chemicals , is the only ono which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener - er makes half the usual Quantity of Starch necessary , with the result of perfect finish , equal to that when the goods were new. No Liquids. "Deso political meetings are fakes , " grumbled the tall tramp In the green Bhlrt. "Why so , pard ? " naked his chum. " 'Cause last night I went to a meet- In' billed as an 'overflow meetln' ' and there wan't nothln * overflowln' not even root beer.

" V , NEW YORK MODES By Julia Bottomlcy All the windows are abloom with apparel for the two hot months. Windows dews and window gazers are alike decked out in cool , seductive and com fortable midsummer toggery. Begin ning with hats , Panamas hold the par amount place for outing. They are simply trimmed with big drooping bows of pongee silk , drapes of chiffon , choux of Dresden and Persian ribbons , or with simple woven silk scarves. A variety of shapes is shown , all soft and allowing the brim to turn down protectingly over the eyes. New and Extreme Shapes. Chips aie next in evidence. Na turally we find among them a greater variety in sizes and shapes crowns bigger , brims wider , than In the ele gant but conventional Panama. Ribbons bens , roses and field llowers Dresden patterns in ribbon and Howered cre tonne are noted on some others ven ture as far as net and flower combina tions. A pretty example shows a cone-shaped crown swathed with ring- dot net , and this studded with pale yellow Bimfloweis. Even with this combination the model is a rakish shape and suggests vacation time , tramps over tbe hills and across the fields. These bats arc moderate and convenient in size and very light on the head. Some pietty and striking models are trimmed with ribbon with white niching stretched along one crtgo. Narrow knife plaited mull is also used In this way. CLING TO THE PETTICOAT. American Women Are Slow to Adopt the "Knicker. " In spite of the pre-eminence of di- roctoire modes the petticoat still re tains it's hold in the affections of American women. The lingerie petticoat is , in fact , more a thing of beauty now than be fore its prestige was threatened by the "knlcker. " It is developed in batiste and sheer linen and is nearly always finished with a Spanish lluuncc' of lace or cm- broidery. This Ilounre is eneially attached by ribbons and the petticoat ribbon has now become an Item in woman's diess. . Of late lingerie makers have in cluded dimity in the list of petticoat materials and use it just as they do mulls and sheer muslins. Dotted swiss is still regarded as one of the daintiest of materials for the petticoat flounce. And the fanciful bordered effects in this goods arc reconciling many women to the fad for colored lingerie. The quality of the ribbons is not re stricted and the width is constantly becoming more pronounced. PALE BLUE CHIP HAT. Lined with Black , and Trimmed with Plaited Muslin , Edged with Lace. Pretty Neck Ruffs. Among the prettiest neck luffs Is the white ostiich feather bow , tied with soft white ilbbon in a bow under the left ear. White tulle Is an excellent substi tute that IB exceedingly becoming to glrlliih faces , but a fluffy hat should be the only kind worn with these soft flimsy accessories. Many women seem to forget thin , and don one of the prett > juffa without a thought as to the rest of the toilet , conaoauently one gees many inharmonious effects. The largo puffed crown of net di vides honors with the plain crown of lace. Full plaited brims , or brims lined with ruflles of net edged with Inco , make up the HufTlness about the face. A twist of ribbon about the crown , plain or figured , with delicious blurred flowers on a light ground , is made into a full rosette bow at one side. A single rose and bud Ho upon the brim. Sometimes a wreath of small llowors and foliage and a twisi of black velvet ribbon surrounds the crown. One of tUo prettiest models looks like gray lace , but Is really made of white point d'osprit plaltlngs with black laid over the white. A big aig rette in white , with black velvet lib- bon , finish this model. The Craze for Cretonne. A oimo for cretonne in ilowcred pat terns appears to have seized upon up per U'udom. Between these cretonnes and Dresdens In silks and ribbons everything IB flowery. Collars , cuffs , belts , bags , parasols and shoes In cre tonne , besides the frivolous little coaU and parahols of tbe same material , furnish us a festival of roses. Flow ered silks aio also used , BO like the cretonne that the eye is deceived. Some small shapes are covered with figured silk laid on plain. Large plain silk-covered frames are bordered with Dresden , in borders an inch and a half wide. The same Ideas will reappear in velvet for fall. Illustrated Milliner. THE TURBAN AND ITS BRIM. Popular Headgear Is Seen In Many Different Styles. The turban , so much In vogue thin season , Is a round hat with n close- litting brim that turns perfectly straight upward to a height of from two to four inches. The brim meets the crown exactly or within a flngor space. The turban Is Hat across the top , the width of the top being from eight to ten inches. The toreador , or Spanish turban , is an exception. The turned-up brim comes only to about two inches of the crown , which is oblong In shape from fiont to back. The toque is a jaunty , small bat of ma-uy shapes. It may bo round likir the turban If It have u height of brim rising above the crown on the loft side. The back of a toque dips and clings to the head. The fiont varies in width in different models. It may have a close rolling brim , with a height of seven Inches on the left side , receding on the right side to two Indies. In this case the crown , sep arated three inches from the brim , slopes toward the right edge In uni son with the brim effect. Some new toque models have pointed or round effects in front with dents in the sides or the buck of the brim. Toques are seen in the Napoleon hat shapes. There Is a great variety in the lorm of the crown. Peignoirs'Usually Elaborate. So light is the line between summer tea-gowns and lingerie peignoirs that to the uninitiated it seems almost non existent. The chief difference Is that the negligee , so called , has riot even an apology for a collar , and that the tea-gown , although frequently ru ! V or faquaro in front , Is carefully'trimmed and so treated that thy back of the neck is not exposed. Peignoirs never have coat effects and their sleeves are flowing nondescript affairs , whereas those of a tea-gown are always of a distinct type , such as the uiilf , the angel or the classic. The New Overblouse. There is a modern garment which is neither a coat nor n rape and IB called an overblouse. It is worn over n lingerie waist or a muslin frock. One of the prettiest is built surplice style , Is made of Valenciennes bir with bands of old blue filet not. These arc almost coveted with a design of silk floss the same shade darned In. Popular Sleeves. A popular yet simple sleeve for evening drcss-os is cut utralKht and even , with the material looped up nearly to the shoulder on the outer sldo. Vogue. ia a harmless 'substitute for Castor Oil , Paregoric , Drops and1 Soothing Syrups , It is pleasant , It contains neither Opium , Morphine nor other Narcotic substance , Its ago is its guarantee , It destroys Worms and allays Feverishness , It cures Diarrhooa and Wind Colic.

Two old Hebrew beggars were trav eling together through the residence section of I'lttsburg not long ago , in quest of contributions toward their Joint capital. Presently they passed a handsome residence , from which Bweot sounds of music issued. It was Ike's turn and j hopefully ho ascended the stops to the front door , eagerly watched by Jake , who expected quite a handsome addi tion to ihclr lunds. His consternation was great consequently quently when bo beheld Ike rotuinlng crestfallen 'and empty-handed. Anxiously running to meet him , ho said : "Veil , Ikey , how did you make out with the good people ? " "Ach , Jakey , " replied Ike , "there was no use asking in there , because they are very poor people themselves. Just think two lovely ladles playing on ono piano ! " Judge's Library.
