U , _ Thofco nro the days nnd especially the \ nights when the katydids wnrblo In wild V tweet tones of frost to come , nnd the ex perienced nnd competent young mnn docs spnco work while the fltnIT is nwny having the balance wheel adjusted and the movement regulated ready for an other ycnrV hnrd labor. Ono of the favorite wails of this nforcsnid Y. M. is the burrowing nnd cruel story of the woman who flirts like a butterfly to tlio cool ECU ftlioro and leaves her other half to sweat and groan in his particular chain gang in the heat nnd dust of the unhealthy city. If the "editor" wore only a woman once ho would noi worry himself into an early grave over such an unfair division of labor. SuppobO you take your children and about a dozen trunks and go off to live in a crowded hotel or miserable "cottage" with no con veniences nnd full of rntH , June bugs and infinite ugliness. The children get HO badly "mixed" with the neighbors thnt they can only be fiopnrntod in sections nnd ono Is never certain whether they will bo drowned or commit miicido in Bomo other manner Iwforo night. At Iho resorts you fuss and fume , the powder dor will not stay on , the crimps will not stay In , and of all vile and uncomfortable things those same airy robes , whieh-tho 'unsophisticated young man thinks are BO divine , nro about the most unbearable. About the time you gel nil together and nro just about ready lo expire with the horculcnn efforts made lo keep pro- Rentable , in conies your rival looking as though she hud never been anything but cool and languid in her life. Although you BOO through the bliuui , the knowledge that some onoicUo does not muko your life n burden and you vow yon will go homo and stay there like a sensible woman should , where you can at least bo comfortable and not bo eter nally nagged nnd "sized up. " How is it with the man all of this time , who might just as well have gone too but that he declined to bo bored ? The husband and father is at homo where the house is closed to the hot sun and is cool und inviting , or nt least cool ; the papers will bo knee deep , of course , arid ends of cigars lying all 'round to re mind him that though the ruling power IH absent , his consolation is left. Ho dines oil the fat of the land , his busi ness , about which wo hear so much , is nt a standstill. Ho puts in u few hours each day just to help keep alive , and then lie goes olT with the other poor _ martyrs and makes a night of it with * the sure knowledge that ho will not have to make any excuses in the morn- Ing. Life is just us ho likes it , no worry , no restraint und no fuss , every thing his own way. In fact in this di vision us In most others of this world the mail has the best of it and no ono realizes this more fully than he. for if bo hud the least desire to go with his wife In her annual outing ho would go. \Vlio over heard of a man not being able to afford anything which affected his comfort ? LJut a woman can only survive death by being in fashion , no matter what she endures ho long as other women have to stand it too. " * 1 i Women nro all right , and'ctfpecYalr i those who have charge of the woman's ! department at the World's fair caii hardly make a mistake , but when they discarded the dress making exhibit they corluinly cumo very near doing what if a man had taken a blind In" , would have looked like a great blunder. All the- foreign exhibits include needle work of various kinds , and whiloof course , a few renowned dressmakers nro men , it is not in America that the man dressmaker flourishes in nil his gold and glory. In this country dressmaking is preeminently ently n woman's job , and wljilc it does not come in the sr.mo chits of work or "art" us ( minting , sculpture or writing books , btill it is work thut requires in finite tact , taste and patience. Women who uro angels to everyone eUo on earth nro often unreasonable toun insulTcrublo degree when deuling wijh u drchsmuker. The dressmaking exhibit was excluded on the grounds thut it was not "educa tional. " Tho.Chieugo trade behools have begun suit for damages and tlio outcome . - will bo watched with great interest by women in all pnrltt of tlio country. It is claimed that the exhibit is cdncationnl in the highest degree and properly bo- longs-in the dcpurtmonUlovotod to work do'no by women , and nearly every ono , outside Iho commilteo , will agree with the trade Schools and hope for u fuvoru- blo decision ut the hands of the court. This is the season when nasturtiums bloom , und sweet peas , the dainty , old- jL fashioned llowors thatour grandmothers loved and which were ' 'revived" ' by "fashion" us very nrtistlo and benu'lifni u few yours ngo. Uul ns flowers never chnngo in their grace und loveliness , it lUuttors not what fashion nays , and if in this one instance the foolish old durco bus shown wisdom udequato to her years and experience , wo will humbly enjoy Iho bright cheery blossoms which her decree makes moro plentiful , and pruy that the fashion will not change. Nas turtiums will grow anywhere und sur vive any kind of hnrsh treatment , and l the guy , frail blooms , with their Tfpicy odor , , will coma In such abundance as to ropuy u thousand times tlio time npont. Speaking of flowers reminds ono of the boroio efforts Miss Margaret B. Hurvoy ) l Philadelphia is putting forth lo have trading urbutus recognized bvvoto of congress us our national flower" While It IB impossible for any ono to agree with Miss llir-voy when she buys ( but goiUcn rod la coarse , for under favorable condi tions nothing oven in the floral world oanld bo moro graceful or beuutiful tliun Ibis product of Ne braska i rallies ; slill , the arguments presented In favor of the arbutus are all good , sound ones. The llowors are blue and Htur shaped , it Is liberty loving , never having Hiirvivod transplanting , and it grows in profusion in all of the thirteen oiiglnal stales. Miss Harvey has recently published u poem in favor of her hobby , which is u strong one und will bring Iho subjool before iiiuny people ple in u now light. The punsy is really the onlv rival which golden rod and nrbutus have , and the trouble is thut the ones who will decide the mutter In congiosi uro all men , nnd every man in Amoricu admires punslcs old' men , biuull bjyu nnd all , nd it will IHJ no wonder if the pun y wins the duy by ltd ruro beauty and Its popularity , us other ( thingH have been victorious ut the bunds of men from the beginning of time , In Bjiilo of fuels and justice. The question it ) to 1)0 presented at the coming soobion of congress , if Mita Harvey , bucked by Iho women of the counlrycan bring It lo itiuuo , when Iho iiiuoh mooted question of an American floral emblem will bo fettled forever. * * ' / 'The fnlry tale of OIndorella is not fe mor glittering than the ronu\nco of Iho % Intilgnifluant und oft ridiouUal hairpin.

"I wish I had an electric ball in the house , " said the mistress of u capacious country dwelling. "Can't with Madge arrange you ono half a dozen hairpins ? " sa'd ' the Har vard student * who , according lo Iho Now \ ork Tribune , had been struck dumb with admiration nnd wonder over Iho clover und/iueer oonlrivunoes of the daughter of the house. "I am sure she could do it.1 The writer heard not long since of u Long Iblund girl who , while driving n friend to the station , upset the village cart and broke one of the traces , and who deftly mended the lutter with a hairpin and got her guest to tne station in time for Iho train. But as the smoke of the approaching locomotive showed its white feather in the distance it was discovered that during the accident the friend's dross had been torn quite olT the bund. "I cannot possibly go to town like this ! " she cried in dismay , holding np several breadths with the gathers com pletely unripped. Ever equal to the emergency , Iho fair Long islander drew out several hairpins from her braids , shook back her flying tresses , ran ono hairpin through half of the loosened folds , made a hook at the end so that it could not slip , gathered up the rest on another , fastened It in the sumo way , secured - cured the whole to the band with a third , and finished just us the train ctimo steaming up , so that hpr visitor wont on her way rejoicing , none the worse for Her exciting experience. "However can I manage this Hopping affair ? " said a youthful dandy whoso mother handed him an umbrella on a rainy day to take to Now York. ' 'The strap is broken. " "Iloro , fasten it with a hairpinsaid _ the woman , of course , nnd with a tighl , neat little ring made of black wire the umbrella looked suflloiently slim and wejl rolled up lo satisfy oven the fastidi ous Idslo of.tho vouug man. r " * * 1111" i * j i > HI * * , iAtj'a ' recent dinner at which several diplomats wero'prescnt , says. Iho Now York Tribune , Iho overfertilo subject of beautiful women came up , and as usual evoked nvany comments , criticisms and memories of past beauties as compared 'with ' the belles of the pro-sent day. "Who is the most beautiful woman you have ever soon ? " was asked of the minister to , who has grown gray in the service and had lived in every largo town in Europe. "Unqueslionubly Iho empress of Austria,1' ho replied without u moment's hesitation.J'Of course I speak of the time when she was younger and happier than she is now. I remembur well the first time I paw her. Wo were all assembled in a largo salon of Iho palace when sDino tieavy velvet portieres were suddenly drawn back , and bho appeared surrounded by her Indies. It wus like a veritable fairy scene. I suppose I was young and foolish und impressionable , but what a vision of loveliness I thought her ! She was dressed in violet , with something glistening all over it , and I took it all in at a glance her regal figure and carriage , her magnificent oye.s , and the superb coronet of hair which she were plaited as ono sees oven now in her pictures. She spoke most graciously to me , a youngster , and it was then and there that I became her HluVo and shall bo till I die ! " ' Well , " said "ono of his listeners , "I never caw the empress of Austria , but I have a picture in mv mind that I would not like to lose. My beauty wus u Brazilian who had lived in Paris most of her lifo. She was too perfect in looks to require any wits , I suppose , for I must confess she wus rather stupid ; but it suited her slylo to bo npntholic and indifferent. Ono evening my nngol was smoking- clgaretto and a spark fell on her light muslin gown. She only said languidly , 'Look , mon ami , my dress is on lire ; pruy put mo out'und I rcully felt grateful to her for not jump ing ill ) und scrouming us most women would , thus shattering my ideal of the absolute culm und rust/illness / of her great beauty. " * A handsome young druggist was in a talkutivo mood the other day , says a re porter on the Now York Sun. 'Women are queer creatures , " he said with a rising smile under his mous- . taelie. Ho pointed to * a , largo assortment of toilet articles temptingly arrayed. . n i i " i There were powder boxes nnd rou o ) pots in id the IhilliL'st of putt * . There wcro rainbow rowsol'portuinu.s nnd toilut I waters. There were biilvus of nil borts , nnd hair tonlc-s uloro. In short , ovory- tliin ( ! that the uaro of the foininino fuco nnd form could crnvo. The linndtioino younj ; dnifr lst lifted a box of wnvdor. Its almjie wus cluurly dollnod In the undittturbed diibt which luul drifted upon it. I Tlioy don't liny em. " ho suid. "Not nt nil ? " "Oh , hoinotlnioH ! But , you BOO , I Imd nn idon Unit woman simply buthcd In porfnino , put luilr tonlu in the nhuwor bnth , nnd was iirnutiuully dud in cold cream and powdor. As soon us I RUW n woman coming in the door I headed for the uosniotloi , in order to moot her on the spot I-foil bure BUO would Hol'eut. " "Well ? " " 'Twns the wronp move. By the tlmo T fetched tip behind the powderu und perfumes the woman was leaning over the counter down there , und either another - other clerk made the lo or elbe I hud to meekly clmspo buck. " "And what Is that counter ? " "It'a the medlelno counter , and .about lUnetyMiine out of brer 100 women who conio there want a nerve tonic. Sick or well , thin or btout , old or young , their one cry is-i-uorvctfl Perhaps , being a mnn nnd therefore nn nnlmnl , tmdl by women to bo titntly Inoklni ? in nerves , I ' nmy bo n Irillo skuptlrnl , out upon my I word I don't lliluk linll of thorn need n nerve tonic any moro thnn they two tongues ! "tf you wnnl to nmko your everlasting fortune , why Invent u now nerve tonic. They nil go with ft rush. Wo have ono patron , ft good , strong woman , whoso only nerve trouble Is that nho thinks she has nerve trouble. She has tried every remedy wo have in stock. Her system ought , by this tltne , to bo per fectly callous to ntiy now compound , but I have just sold her n bottle of the pres ent fashionable nerve soother. She has n pillow of dried poppy flowers , another of hips , another of balsam , nnd so on nnd on. "Today , for the first tlmo , I sold her a box of powder. She says It will last her three years. She doesn't believe in 'choking up the pores of the skin with nil sorts of rubbish. ' " "Quito right ! ' Yes , but she'll choke her entire In- lornnt arrangement with any sort of de coction which bears the magical Inscrip tion , 'Nervo Tonic. ' Women are cor- Ininly queer creulurcs. " And Iho young clerk sighed ai ho pul the despised powder back on the shelf. * There is ono great need of humanity , parrticularly of femlnino humanity , thut Is nt last receiving wall-deserved , although tartly , recognition nnd consid eration. Much Is now said nnd written about the great need of rest and relaxa tion of tlio mind. The tremendous , rushing strain of Iho life of loday culls imperatively for an olfsct to the tension of dully existence as a necessary sequence of overcxertion , and therefore wo have "rest cures , " mussago treats mcnts , "quiet retreats" and a host of other now remedies for overwrought bodies nnd brains , thut were never ireamed of tweuly yours ago. Tlio disciples of Delsnrto believe in rest morally and menially , as well as physically - ically and It Is a sign of the limes that the curious combhiulion of his jihllo1 sophical and bcnllmentul calisthenics is received with so much favor and prac ticed so universally. . "Do you remember old Dr. L ? " asked a woman of society tlio other day. "Ho believed in what is now called 'rest euro' years and years ago. I re member very well u formula he gave mo when 1 was first marrjed , which was practically Iho sumo thing that every one advocates nowadays. 'Whenever a womiiu feels tired , ' ho used lo say , 'or discouraged or depressed , or out of sorts generally , she should lie down and be absolutely quiet for lift eon minutes. The eyes should bo closed nnd the mind should bo made u blank as fur as pos- sible. No pillow' should be used , her lieud reclining on a level with her shoulders. She should not oven think of the tiiuo , but have some ono call her at the expiration of the time. This treatment , ' ho used to say , 'ropoated twice a day has a wonderful effect on nervous women. ' " * * Do yon know how to wash dishes ? Not merely so that you get them olT the kitchen table into the china closet , but so that the despised and dreaded task becomes almost a pleasure. This is the way to accomplish that result : As soon as the cooking is done fill nil the cooking utensils with wutor and leave them to soak. When the meal is ended scrape all the plates clean not with a knife , for that scratches and nicks but with n soft piece of left-over bread. Put the plates in ono pile , the saucers in another , the cups , emptied of their drainings , together , and the glass and silver together. Have a bowl of water cool enough to allow your hand to remain in it u few minutes without scalding , but hot , and wash the glasses with soap in thut. Dry them as fust us they uro washed. If you lot them stand upon a tray the air dries them and does it in' streaks where the water is trickling down. Have a soft , clean , lintless clotli for this purpose. Then wash the silver ; the water should bo very hot for this. If there are any crevices , clean thorn with a brush kept for the purpose. Dry on a clean towel and polirth with silver powder. Next wash your cups and saucers one at a time. Use a mop with a handle , and don't , in this day and generation , bo without ono of those wire kitchen con veniences known us a soup shukor. Wipe each cup and saucer before putting it out of your hand , or it will dry partially and streakily , and be rough to the loiieh. After the cups and saucers , wash Ihe pinion in the sumo way. TJion clean the tins , und then the pot- , and pans. To clean knives , rub with u soft flannel dipped in pwdered bath-brick , or in wood ashes. Never lot the ivory handles be dipped in hot wutor. Tins may bo kept in a state of dazzling brightness by being rubbed with sifted wood ashes or with whitening. Copper utensils should bo scoured with brick dust and flannel. The dish cloths nnd mops should bo washed , scalded and dried after each using. The towels should never bo thrown aside in adami ) lump , but should bo hung to dry , and then dropped inlo Iho kitchen hamper against washing day.The The dlshpan should bo thoroughly washed with soup und wutor , scoured and rinsed with scalding water , dried and hung on its own hook. Then the sink should bo scoured und rinsed with scalding wutor , in which common soda hub boon dissolved. The American sojourners at Nice last winter had their eyes gladdened by red , white and blue cupcri. Those were worn by the highest representatives of fashion at outdoor celebrations of all sorts. The idea is French and its inspiration tlio French tricolor. But there is no American who docs not outortuln a prior claim to Ibis trinity of tints by at least a half seoro of years. These capos have boon introduced into Ihis country. They are of line , .smooth faced cloth. In whntover the order of tints , the rod or the blue being first , no- cording to tlio complexion and hair , the white is always the center capo , The Columbian year gives to those capes an especial portlnence. Nothing is gayer and prettier. Such patriotic blazonry to throw across fho shoulder , the chair , or hang on the arm on board yacht , on the row boat , at the races , or wherever people convoke in the open air for pleas ure nnd ontortuiument. In the very uttruelivo model shown Iho edges of Ihe cupes uro bordered wllh gilt. This gives u guyly imperious , military aspect to the wrap , in its os- soneo as eoquolllsh as patrlollc. It is rvery seldom that enlarged sentiment of any sort can find an attractive expres sion irv dress. These capes of tricolor uro an exception. His only curious lhat a whole century pussod before they were introduced. It is to tlio ulert , urtlstlc , French mind , with its memories of 17lKt , thut they uro duo. Our right to wear thorn , however , is not impaired thereby. If you uro thut proud and enviable creature , a business woman , yon might us well muko u study of Iho art of keep i- ing cool. You uro pledged lo Iho oily for Ihe greater purl ol the summer ; you ' can't wour loose wrappers or tuko afternoon - noon naps. From 0 until 0 yon uro in nn otllco where your collar must bo us stiff us in Decemlwr.und your 1iair coileda3 , nently us ut Vulentino's day. Begin the day with u bath and n brushing of the hair.

However much , you may long for lawns anil organdin do not wear them downtown.

Your fondness for gay colors may expend Itself upon your shirt waists of linen , chumbruy nnd gingham. A simple hat , not necessarily a sailor , n parasol , low shoes and loose gloves will complete as cool an oulfll us Iho business woman can hope lo assumo. * The Hungarian women are among Iho mosl beautiful in Iho world. Thonro not lungulshing , diaphanous creatures , composed of cobwebj nnd the odor of musk , wilh u sickly pallor or n hocllc flush ' In their cheeks. No ! Erect and straight as a candle , hourly and vigor ous lo Ihe core , they are pictures of good health 1 nnd abounding vitality. They are gifted with small foot , full anna , plump hands with taporlng flngors , and they wear long braids. The sun has spread a reddish-golden lintoradarker tone over the complexion. The Hungarian woman is 1 not a beauty of classical contour , nor does she perhaps frequently present a riddle to the psychologist , and ethereal poets will scarcely llnd a theme in her for hyporsonliuiontal reveries. She is rather the vigorous embodiment of primeval womanhood. As her exterior , so her whole charac ter is enchantingly fresh nnd positive. She 11 COB to cut well , is fond of a little wino , takes naturally to swimming , dancing , gymnastics , and has not the least 1 objection to being admired. Grace and i bounty know no dilTorcnco between high 1 und low , und often bestow upon u poor ] , bnro-footed , short-skirled peasant girl i ( with her face framed in a kerchief tied I under the chin ) the same enchant ing i form , the same graceful walk , the same i magically attractive glance as upon her 1 more favored sistor. * The greatest and first essential to physical perfection in woman is a figure without an angular line. Nature avoids angular lines everywhere , but in the human figure especially. A perfectly formed woman will stand at the average height of five foot three inches to five fcot seven inches ; She will weigh from 12o to 1-JO founds. ' A plumb line dropped from n ] > oint marked1 by the tip of her nose will touch at a point ono inch in front of her great too" . Her shoulders and her hips will strike a straight line drawn up and ilown. Her waist will taper gradually to u'&izo on u line drawn from the outer third'of ' the collar bono to the hips. Her busfwill measure from twenty-eight toithirty-six inches , her hips will measure from six to ten inches moro than thisnnd her wnist will call for a belt from , twenty-two to twenty- eight inches. < . < The arms ofti'.thd * perfectly formed woman will end at tlitf waist line , so that she can r dt her olboiron the table while standing erect , and her forearm should extend to a point permitting the fingers to mark a point just below the middle of the thigh. Her neck nnd thigh should be of about the sumo circumference. The calf of her leg ana arm should mpasuro about the sumo. Her legs should bo about as long ns a line drawn from her chin to her finger tips , or about one-half her height , say from two feet seven und a half inches to two feet nine und n half inches. She should measure from her waist tohor feet about a foot more than from her waist to the crown of her head. Her neck should-bo from twelve to fourteen inches around , her head erect and 011 a line with the central plane of her body , and her feet should bo of a size and shape to conform with her hands. Although sizes in foot wear und gloves vary somewhat , u well proportioned woman wears n shoo ono- liall the nizo of the glovn thnt her hand calls for ; thus , if a lady wears with com fort a No. C glove she should wear a No. 3 shoe. Any woman who wishes to bo a social nuceoss should cultivate the gift of re- mombji'ing faces and names. A little attention to the time , ' a little care to fix an individual by name nnd feature in the memory , will bring its sevenfold reward. While some lucky people pos sess the facility naturally , and others are wofully deficient in this respect , still it can be cultivated , HO that study will supply the luck of memory , nnd the Boeiul aspirant , mny "ussumo u virtue though she hnvo it not. " "No ono can fancy the trouble it gives mo to bo unable to remember faces snd names , " said a well known loader in society. "I think , on the whole , it IH hotter to rnako n mistake on the side of friendliness than t-j up peur snubby nnd forgetful ; but I seem always doing the most absurd things.

Sick headache , or migraine , as they call It abroad , is a universal complaint , nnd arises chlolly from over strain. Nervous irritability , Insomnia nnd hysteria are nil on the increase in the upper clashes. There is a mania to sec and to bo seen ; to learn everything , from politicaleconomy to clear .starching. In short , women of the upper classes do too much. Perhaps they cannot help them selves , owing to the exigencies of so ciety , says an English exchange. Look at the women whom one meets who have been doing the season. Are they not palo. worn , anxious , high strung ? Ac cording to a great medical authority , If only London women would once in every ten days take a whole day's complete rest hi bod. they would retain their health , Bplrit nnd energies much longer than they do. Of course , Ihis advice Is only meant for really hard working women of fashion who nro obliged to keep lute hours. Fnililnn I'rllM. Now gold is n brilliant shade for bru nettes.
