How to Catch Daisy May's Hints to the Summer Girl It pertaining to It aro gathering silver musical Instruments?for Instance, a grand piano a few Inches high, a min? iature harp, a tiny violin, diminutive cello. Mute, mandolin or guitar. The most recent development of tho craze has taken the form of war relics, and there are duplicates of the Maine. Brooklyn and New York, with admirals galore, Mauser rltles and machetes in replica and savage looking subjects of Aguinnldo done In blncklsh silver. There was never n time when jewelry , was more Important than it i.s now. It >VW0O0OCK><>^^ ?? considered quite correct to wear a great quantity of it at once. Whole suits of stones with a dress to match Is the acme of style. Even rings are not thought good form unless they mutch or else present a desirable color con? trast. Hatpins and daggers for the hair are more In demand than ever. Watch fobs sporting antique seals, or prized heirlooms in topaz or cameo, re en force the ranks of novelty, and rubies and sapphires tire the fashionable gems of the season. There Is a new diami nd necklace, which Is so divided that it separates Into many ornaments, includ? ing an atgret for the hair. Gold safe? ty pins, set with a single stone, having tw.i long, jeweled chains hanging from it to end in small brooches in the form of butterflies or enameled bugs, tire most appropriate gifts for brides to make their maids of honor. Bntidehux nr.- again in vogue, tlie new ones having ?lie,.ping diamonds and hearts that hue; over the brow. Corsage chains with enameled flowers much begemmed are as exquisite as expensive. Brown and pale pink with an Inter? mingling of ecru in the form of lace jali..t or vest Is the freshest color bi !?? me from London way. A scarf of soft chiffon and lace Is worn with all open coats, forming a sort of vest by deftly tying a big bow under the chin and letting the ends fall below tin- waist a few Inches. All Frenchwomen are wearing the big chin bow and hats lipped eve,- the nose, despite the effort to abolish this last freaky fashion. Hats continue to grow more beautiful as the season advances. For midsummer wear lue tulle hats will take precedence. An exclusive model for bridesmaids" wear Is of white puckered tulle, straw edged. With soft white plumes in quantity. An? other is of burnt straw trimmed in Wheat ears, rising from out of great choux of mollne, and provided with a floating lace scarf to twist about the thront, as is the fashion. Hats and trimming of like color nrc the mode. For example, burnt straw will have or itngc hucd roses and tulle. Mauve tulle ami orchids of Hie same hue are bent into bat shape. Hlack neapolitan braid witli a profusion of plumes held in place by a paste buckle is, after all, the pret? ties! picture hat a woman can buy. Hlack enhances the beauty of a fresh, young face- and makes less conspicuous in an older one the ravages of time. The newest sailor hat Is of white duck strcti lied over n frame, with narrow brim and low crown. It Is decidedly smart nnd is designed particularly for wear with pique frocks, which are more conspli uously popular than diaphanous gowns. As a matter of fact, pique Is taking the place of moussellne de sole and chiffon as trimming. In bands on race coats and as rovers on cloth dress? es it Is fast obtaining recognition as be? ing extraordinarily fetching. Some dar? ing modistes have associated It with foulard. Tho so called bidder trimming, nblng up the front of the clinging skirt, is astonishingly pretty made of cream colored pique over violet silk. Hlack velvet ribbon Is extensively used for "ladder trimming" and Is most ef? fective over a punel of white chiffon. DAISY MAY. When the summer girl flits from town to country, if Bhe be a wise young wom? an, her luggage will not consist entirely of Innumerable boxes, bags, golf sticks and tennis rnckets, but there'll be a trap or two with liorses, a wheel and a hammock, to sny nothing of a dozen books. If carriage and horses are not at her command, the wheel is always possible. Bhe will score an additional point by going in for boating, using n Jk oars which have V( been made express- fM w ly for her. These V; }k hints are Intended \tj) j'( for girls who take a f?J W keen delight In their Jl yj summer outing and fin m who are willing to Inj n be burdened with 17) everything contrib? uting to tho thor? ough enjoyment of u summer vacation. Enjoyment In the main means the amount of attention one receives. It Is well to remember that this situation Is sometimes not controlled by pretty clothes. The com? bination of beauty, sparkling wit and silken raiment I ad? mit is a powerful magnet, but if tho good fairies failed to wave their wunds at the opportune mo? ment do something to help yourself?bo a good fellow, be Jolly. Clothe your? self with comfort*_ able things, bo ready to tender your friends the use of lux? urious trifles they have omitted to bring along. Be a bit fucetious and determine to bo a boon companion for any eli? gible man who appears. Flirt by all moans, fust nnd furiously: It is a summer girl's whole existence. "With how many?" did you say? That depends. The more the merrier. Flirting is a licensed pas? time out of town, so claim all the revenue In sight. If "he" bicycles, be willing; should horses be the "He's" fad, claim the honor of giving him a drive behind your own well match? ed team. If the young woman in question is quite up to date, she will furnish an exhibition in tandem driv ing, showing how cleverly she manages the "wheeler" ami how gracefully nhe can manipulate the ribbons of the "leader." If. perchance, she meet a man_of literary trend, her supply of new books would Immediately create a bond of sympathy, and In time another scalp would be discovered dangling from her snake skin bolt. Swing your hammock under the trees in some picturesque stretch of woodland, beckon the man, tuck "Forest Lovers" under your arm, and reading will become one of your most seductive pleasures. In selecting this semlclrculatlng libra? ry, cuter to all tastes. Include In your collection "The Con? founding of Cornelia," by Richard Whiting, called by English critics "the book oT the year;" "A Daughter of the Vine." by Gertrude Athcrton, which, though weird, is an excellent nnd graphic history of wild California life in isr,:? and of a beautiful heroine, who acquires the cursed drink habit. Those who have admired Wilson Barrett as an actor will probably buy "Daughters of Babylon," a religious melodrama In book form; "David Harum" as a matter of course; "Captains Cour? ageous" and Kipling's "Seven Seas," because you never tiro of rereading them?these and as many more of like charac? ter as you deem necessary.

It may be of teak wood, mahogany or oak. It is hung from the ceiling in the center of the room by four great gilded chains. It Is either supplied with many- piiloWS or a rug is thrown carelessly across the back ornaments. For a flirtation it Is ndornblo. It Is built for two and swings freely. Jack says It's the "coquette's haven." Evidently this is tobe a season of fads. The enmern fad Is revived, and the llend confronts one at every crossroads, nn gle or sequestered spot in the parks. The latest vagary of fashion Is bracelet wearing. The novelty Is of silver and called a "Shakespeare circlet," because a quotation from one of the great man's plays appears on the narrow, half inch band, which slips on over the hand. As many as a half dozen, varying from an eighth of an inch to an Inch wide, are worn on the right arm at one time. Crystal hearts suspended from Cyrano chains are supplanting "glass catches" for holding tho rosebud or violet blossoms presented by the sentimental swain.

Until the day of her marriage the East Indian girl has been tho spoiled pot of her mother, but tho hour that sees her put Into a palanquin, shut up tight and carried to her husband's house changes all that was happiness Into misery. She becomes from that moment the little slave of her mother-in-law, upon whom she has t? wait hand and foot, whose lightest word i.s law, and who teaches her what dishes her husband likes best and how she Is to prepare them. A kind mother-in-law is n thing sel? dom, If ever, met with, and rarely does she give the little bride leave to go home nnd visit her mother. Of her husband the girl sees little or nothing. She Is nothing more to him than a cat or a dog would be. She can? not complain to him of the cruelty of his mother, for he would never by any chance take her part. He-sends in to her the portion of food he wishes cooked for himself, her and the children, nnd when it is ready she places it upon a large platter, and it is sent into his room. Ho cats all he fancies of !t and then It is sent hack to her. and she and the children sit together upon tlie floor and eat whatever Is left. The little girls are married as young as :? years of ago, and should a little boy j to whom suoh a baby is married die she I is called a widow and can never marry again. Married life Is hard, but far harder and more sad Is the dot of a widow, for She Is n disgraced and di grndi d tiling. She must eat only the very ? nrsest sort of food, nnd on one day in two weeks she must fast for 21 hours. ' Her food must always be eaten apart from other women, and she must never dress her hair, never sleep upon a b( 1 and never wear any Jewelry. i A piece of matting upon the hard floor comprises her couch, nnd somctlm even tho strip of mattress is dented h- r. No matter how cold the night may be , she is nllowed no covering except the thin garment that she has worn during the day. She may never look on at any mar? riage, ceremonies, for it would be an evil omen for her to do bo. She may have ? been a high caste woman, but on be comlng n widow even the lowest serv? ants may order her to do work that Is distasteful to them, and no woman In the house may even speak one word of. comfort or pity to her. t Any woman who so far forgets her? self as to show the slightest kindness to a widow is supposed to infallibly be? come a widow herself before long. Such barbarous behavior is hard for' us to understand, and yet these widows tak ? their miserable lot as u matter of course, not. even having the spirit to rebel against its Injustice.

Miss Maude Adams enjoys the unique distinction of having been pecuniarily poer, ssful in her (irst essay ut Shakespearean work to an extent which is un parallclcd in the history of American theallIciila. alias. Adams is about 27 years of ago and made her stage debut on a waiter at the very early age of 1. she was born in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Miss Adams Is one >o; the most dutiful and respectful daughters In the world, by the way. and. with her, "mamma's" opinion comes before that of any one else In the world. Miss Adams is unmarried and Is a credit to her sex in every way. During her long stage experience there has never been even a whisper of scandal in connection with her name, and she has. besides, con? sistently refused to lend herself to questionable methods of advertising.
