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. "

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.

, 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.

Beggar Satisfied with Evidence of

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.

"Well , why don't you go homo right

The little boy was thoughtful.
