Clubs or parties formed for the purpose of touring awheel to Huffalo this summer are now being organized in a number of localities. Some of these parties are of the "personally conducted" order, a certain stipulated amount being paid, in Install ments or otherwise, to the organizer or conductor of the party,who assumes all responsibility and attends to all the busi ness details. In other cases clubs arc formed on tho co-operative plan, otllcers arc appointed or elected and weekly or monthly payments made to the club treas urer. Several important points must be con sidered In planning for a successful club cycling tour. In the first place thre should be as a rule a large enough party to create enthusiasm from mere numbers and the feeling that the trip is an event. Twenty or thirty makes a satisfactory nuin b( r for a club tour. A party of this size commands attention and respect from land lords an.i yet is not so numerous that tlu members cannot be comfortably housed and fed. The manager of a party cannot well look after more than twenty or thirty cyclists unless the tri:) is a short one and where large hotels can be reached each day. On the selection of the route depends much of the success of the tour. The best route i3 not always the shortest. Due con sideration must be given to the grade, condition of the roads and side paths, scenic, historic and other points of inter est, and last, but not least, to the hotel ac commodations en route. In adltlon to the information regarding the best routes and conditions of the road to be obtained from the road books and maps published by the different divisions of the League of Ameri can Wheelmen much valuable information relating to points of interest, historical, etc., may be obtained from the folders and other advertising matter issued by the prin cipal railroads. If, however, in planning a tour Information is desired that is not io be obtained from other sources at your com mand you are advised to apply to th pub licity department of the I'an-American K ucsition. Set each day's run at fifty miles and un derunder is better. In order to reach a certain i"jint, a few long runs may be necessary, but do not think the average wheelman can ride seventy-live miles a day for a week, and spend his evenings "doing the sights." If each day's run is stated in the itinerary, be sure that it is never underestimated. If it should be, he is apt to tind fault in regarel to every ex tra inch he has to wheel. This amusing trait is peculiar to cyclists. They claim to like to ride and they really elo but com pel them to ride a mile more tluin they ex ited to, and they immediately become very much abused individuals. After deciding on the size of the party, the route to be followed, and the number of miles tt) be ridden each day, select the various stopping places, ami enter into cor respondence immeeliately with th proprie tors of the hotels in the towns selected for stopping places. It Is not always the best policy to endeavor to secure reduced rates from landlords, but rather to insist on only two in a room with separate beds, if pos sible, and extra good meals. Landlords are often ready to give reduced rates, but if they do. they are apt to try and get evfti in some other way which may make matters unpleasant. On the contrary, if they are asked for no reduction, but for a little ex tra bill of fare, they become eager to treat you well, ami everything will run smoothly. On the wheel there should be taken as L'ttle baggage as possible If a comfortable tour Is the thing desired. The bulkier bag gage of the party should be sent ahead each day by express, in addition each member of the party should be advised to forward to the hotel decided upon in Buf falo a supply of ortllnary clothing before leaving home1. This done, he will find his visit to the I'an-American exposition made much mere e-omfortable and enjoyable. Nothing rests one more after a long ride than getting into his regular clothes. Fur nish "stickers" with the name and ad dress of the Buffalo hotel written plainly thereon, in order to expedite delivery of baggage, or to enable same to be easily traced if miscarried. In organizing a party for a tour to Buf falo it will be safe to estimate the expense per day as follows: Three dollars per day tor hotel expense (about $2.10 will be the av erage hotel bili; the other half elollar will nuet incidental expenses that are contin ually cropping out, and help to pay for postage anel printing.) To thfs add the amount required for railroad and steamboat tares and other known expenses, and then add $10 for unforeseen contingencies. Of course, less would do, and a great deal more can be spent. Making advance arrangements not only entails considerable care and labor upon the promoter or manager of the tour, but renders it necessary for the party to make each day's journey on schedule time. Cir cumstances, however, sometimes arise which make delays advisable or render progress inconvenient, as for Instance, a severe rainstorm which may make the roads Impassable. In this case it will be necessary to proceed by train or boat to the place appointed for the mid-day meal and by the same method to the stopping place . for night. Should such deviations from the programme occur the manager will have re.ison to congratulate himself on his foresight In providing an excess fund for contingencies. The expense of touring can be hammered down very tine if it is desired. In many Instances. $- ier day would be an ampl? allowance for hotel expenses. This price will get gord accommodations in almost any part of the country. It is well to re member, however, that the old adage, the way to a man's heart is through his stom ach, applies particularly to wheelmen after a long day's run. A man who is hungry and tirtNl sees no good in anything and be gins to tind f-jult on the slightest provoca tion. He will criticise just as freely, whether he has paid a very low price or a high one for the tour. If, however, he Ilnds on arriving at his destination for the evening, a comtortable hotel with abundant b.ithing facilities, and his luggage await ing him (thus enabling him. after his bath and rub down, to mae a complete change of clothing from his cap down to his shoes. before dinner), he is apt to think less ef the almighty dollar and more of his manager who had so thoroughly prepared for his comfort in advance. Consequently it Is wise for toe manager to make his estimate high enough ito allow him to provide for ali contingencies which may arise', affecting the comfort of the members of his party. A-ftcr being thus well carcei for from day to day the tourist will, on his return home, reflect with pleasure on the many agree able incidents tn route, on the varied beau ties of Buffalo, the Wheelman's paradise, on the grand scenery of Niagara Falls, and en the manifoKl glories of the I'an-American Exposition. Thee who took part in the famous "Big 4" tili remember with pleasure Vhat per fectly managed tour from Buffalo through Canada, the Thousand islands, and the val-le'vs- of the Mohawk and the Hudson io New York city, in lS,s5. Long after the exposition of has passed into history the reminiscences of a well-planned anJ successfully carried out trip to Buffalo will provo" as lasting a pleasure to the partici pants. . Lore.

FOR FEMININE READERS good rnnsoAL iflicxck that THE YOlMi MATKOX 3IAY HAVE. Dalrttr DliihcM to Stilt the Invalid' Tun te How Some Spring (iowm Are to Be Mntle Various Notes. The increase of wealth and Its attendant luxury of living have set up a barrier be tween the young people of our day, says a writer In the New York Evening Tost. Young men of fortune are no longer an exceptional few, but they are yet a large minority, when reckoned with the daugh ters of palatial homes. There is yet a very large class of young men who, though sons of rich fathers, do some nominal busi ness, until the day of inheritance arrives, tut who are not able to even think of mar rying one of these young princesses, and are too well aware of the cost of maintain ing them to even dream of asking them in marriage. This limits many a semi-idle man to the most superficial intimacy with his young girl friends, whose lives of busy gaiety bring them in touch half a dozen times a week. They scrupulously avoid coming too far within the nearest circle of friendship, for danger of pain and disappointment lurk wherever love may be aroused only to be thwarted. And at this juncture comes the oppor tunity for the intluence for good or evil oi the young matron, with a pleasant home, a hospitable table, and a desire for gaining the reputation of an agreeable hostess. If the pretty young wife only could be matte to understand That the bright, thoughtless young fellow who "drops in" at theyvinter twilight hour to share her cup of tea takes her for a type, and by her conduct and speech is weighing the value of homes and wives In general, she would be aston ished at the far-reaching result of what had seemed the most trilling half-hour visit. Talking to a married woman at once puts a man at his ease; he Is on no debatable ground; she can neither suspect any ul terior motive, nor does his untrammelcd expression of opinion involve any future responsibility. Nine times out of ten a .very young man will speak more: truly and freely what he feels in this delightful at mosphere of cosey homelikeness than in his own family, where his strong opinions might be considered audacious, or his lack of reverence for the past and its conven tions call forth rebuke from his parents. Under such favoring circumstances a pure-minded, noble-hearted woman has a golden opportunity of giving expression to what is most dear, most precious in the eyes and hearts of her sex. She can ex ercise that bewitching charm which comes from the pretty dignity which so becomes a young and loving wife, and yet allow her self the half-sisterly, half-maternal free elom ef speech and manner which Is so engaging and winning to a young man. uncertain of his conclusions' and yet very decided as to his fancies. In such intercourse the youthful heart of a man can receive the most definite Im pressions of the loyalty of a wife to her husband; of the symmetry and grace of a character whose basis Is fidelity, and whose satisfied heart seeks no admiration beyond that which is hers inalienably. litre he learns, or ought to learn, the "so far and no farther" which guards free speech from tho descent into the frightful license of the day; here he grows to be lieve in the sincerity of purpose and keen ness of appreciation wnich a certain reck less and conspicuous set of women have tried to assert were no longer a part of a young girl's character. Here he can have the pitiful, wretched nonsense about t he greed aiul untruth and baser ambitions of all women for place and power unmasked and shown to be no more than tho foam which crests the wave. When, after such a visit, a man closes the door behind him with a sense of increased respect and regard for womanhood in gen eral, and says to himself, "What an in spiration to a husband such a wife must be," the gentle mother has done her gen eration and her sex a service which shall not fall ef its reward. There is no limit to the inspiration such a friend can be to such a man. All the world looks cleaner, lovelier and more worthy of respect be cause she has shown to him a woman who thinks noble thoughts, loves gracious tleeds, and only values a man when he declares himself worthy her regard by higher aims and more steadfast effort than his fellows. On the other hand, the wrong a woman does herself when, like some silly school girl, she socks the admiration of an Idle man and turns his careless visit and kill time badinage into a foolish flirtation, is but a trifle to the injury she inflicts. The lowered respect he feels for her reaches out over all his social life, and his summing up is: "What are women, after all?" The compliments so dearly bought may come at her call; her tables may day by day up hold the flowers her trilling has prompted him to send, but he holds her not much above the level of his favorite dog. And for the sex? Why should a man work and think and strive for the maintenance and enjoyment of a nature like this? Neither his thought nor his speech is bridled for her sake, but' the frivolous wit which has no basis but personalities and no aim but the discussion of other people's weaknesses and foibles is useel unsparingly, and the laugh is always at some one else's expense. To Mnke Spring: Gown. New York Sun. Many of the new foulards are cut with the circular skirt fitting the hips plainly with inverted plaits at the center of the back. The deep circular flounce varlously shaped and trimmed Is the special feature, which Is tuckeel this season, each tuck being an Inch and a half apart, not more than a quarter of an inch wide, and trimmed on the edge with a little frill of black lfrce cOging. This makes a very effec tive skirt, with the little frills covering the entire flounce. The plan of shaping the circular flounce at the top so that It Is not of the same width all around adds so much to the graceful appearance of the skirt that the straight around flounce is a rare excep tion. It usually rounds down in front, wid ening very perceptibly toward the back and agrain it points up on the tdde In addi tion to the downward curve in front, each point rounding down into the wider back with a graeful curve. Lace insertions head this fiour.ee and trim the bodice. Another pretty idea for the skirt of a thin gown is first a princess corselet which begins just below the bust and ends well down eti the hips in the form of a yoke, to which the rkirt is gathered.' Four deep flounces circular in shape cover the entire1 skirt of another foulard gown, e-ach one finished with a niche of lace. Circular skirts with two-inch tucks around tho hem. three er five in number are a pretty style for veiling. The ri!k foundation skirts ofall the sum mer gowns as yet shown are' cut in the circular shape, hewever the skirt may be made outside-. A feature of the new gowns, which will hardly find many followers is' the fastening up at the back or at the side and on the shoulders. There seems to be no good reason for this, as there Is. very little if any difference in the style of the bodice, but then Dame Fashion never does give any logical reason for her whims, so we can make the most of this invisible fastening and ask no questions. There are always plaits or some other form of trim-, mlng elown the back to hid the hooks. Another point which Is especially attrac- live is th close uralerslceve which Is vast ly more Incoming to some arms than the loose puffy sleeve so much in evidence It matches the yoke or vest and Is espe cially pretty when made of alternate binds of lace insertion and tucking of finest lawn running around the arm. All over lace nakes a pretty undersleeve of this sort, shaping a bit over the hand in a little-cuff. Pink in the deep, rich shade of a water melon Is one of the fashionable colors for summer gowns made of crepe de chine or veiling over cream white silk and trimmed with insertion of black lace. An Inner skirt of white moussellne de sole Is en Improving addition to this kind of dress, as It softens the effect of the white sill; lining underneath. Silk tarcge in both plain and dalntly flow ered designs bid3 fair to be one of the very popular fabrics this season. It Is a silk and wool mixture and 'quite sheer enough to meet a very requirement of fash ion. In a rich, light currant red it Is made up over silk of the sumo color, trimmed elaborately with black lave and finished with a yoke and close-fitting undersleeves of cream white embroidered batiste. Next in order for a more serviceable gown is challle with satin stripes and vari ous polka uert and floweret patterns. It Is pretty In the plain colors, among which there are some soft blues and reds striped with a satin band of the same color. As far as the styles In tailor costumes have revealed themselves they show a decided dressy effect . with fancy short bolero jackets and wide .belts of plain or fancy striped silk. Any modification of the bolero is in order, and fancy buttons are the rule. To Follow the Oysters. New York Sun. Kven with the caterer on the premises, failure may come to a dinner as it did In this case. So the young matron soon comsa to rely on her own cook, and at the out side hires one of the women who make a specialty of cooking for private dinners. It is in the small matters that her ingenuity is most likely to be tested. It Is the hors d'oeuvre that troubles housekeepers mot, although there is a sutllcient variety of suitable dishes to enable the hostess never to repeat herself in this course. One served the other night for dinner consisted of a round piece of toast, brown and crisp, surmounted by a thin slice of trolled ham. Over this was poured cheese melted to a liquid, after the manner of its use in a Welsh rabbit. Served hot before tne soup this makes a most appetizing relish to the dinner. The variation of thi.i recipe puts warmed anchovies on the toat instead of ham, and over them Is poured ihe cheese, slightly flavored with mustard Another relish made with toast is served cold with cavaire between the toast and a fond d'artichaut. One which is commonly attributed to the Russians is simple to make and little known In New Yofk. Its principal feature is the sauce. Hard-boiled eggs are quartered longitudinally and served with a sauce that would be ordinary mayonnaise were it not liavored with chives. Still another relish of this kind requires the egg to be cut in two longitudinally. The yolk is mixed with anchovy paste and tho mixture is put back into the white of th egg. The same thing can be don with rardines in place of the anchovy paste. Sometimes the eggs are opened, the yolk removed and anchovies in oil put where the yolk was. Hggs filled with caviare Instead of the yolk are served in the. same way, and this is one of the instances in which the salt cavaire commonly sold can be advanta geously used, since the dish is likely to be a little tasteless to American palates other wise. It is now possible to buy at some of the New Ycik restaurants fresh caviare which in h remarkable degree retains Its firmness and freshness. It is of the color of the oav?rue served in Russia and some of the northern European cities, dark gren and not black. The eggs are several times as large as those in salted caviare and they are separated distinctly one from the other like the eggs in well-cooked shad-roe. Caviare of this kind Is almost worth its weight In gold. It has not been known here long enough to become widely usod, and it is doubtful if it ever would become popu lar, chiefly because caviare cannot be served in very attractive fashion, and ap pearance is one of the things that a hostess takes into consideration when she gives a dinner. It is usually put on the table in a small glass placed in a larger vessel and surrounded by crushed ice. All of these Russian dishes are served cold here and are indeed as near the freez ing point as possible, whatever may be the fashion in which they are eaten abroad. Another kind of hors d'oeuvre that makes an appetizing interlude employs the cus tomary piece of toast covered with a paste made from sardines and mayonnaise. The bones are removed from the fish and a thick paste is spread over the toast. Over the top of this is a thin layer of very deli cate cheese. In season a sliced tomato Is placed over the sandwich In place of the cheese. This may be ornamented with the customary parsley and made as decorative as the hors d'oeuvre is always expected to be. For the Iiinlidd Tray. Good Housekeeping. During the period of convalescence it Is J very necessary that the reviving appetite be humored, while at the same time caution must be exercised, with regard to the food given to the patient. In some cases fruits and a few vegetables can be Indulged in with impunity, and again the use of fruit would prove Injurious. An old physician once gave me the following rule: "Never allow fruit while any coating Is on the tongue." But neither Is this infallible. The tjuestlon of feeding the sick is really a se ries of experiments, and the nurse has to watch results and be guided by them. A potato roasted in the skin, and stewed asparagus and boiled rice are safest to be gin with. Tomatoes, in a small quantity, stewed, strained and thickened slighliy with cornstarch, can often be used, both as a vegetable and as a sauce for meat or macaroni. An orange (only the juice being swallowed), a portion of baked apple and the juice of grapes are admissible. Beef marrow is recommended as a tonio, either served (previously cooked on hot, dry toast,' or left in a thin slice of the bone and broiled, eaten with boiled rice. And here a word about cooking rice. Wash thoroughly and drop slowly Into boiling water which has been previously salted and very slightly sweetened. This removes the somewhat insipid taste. Cook fast iri plenty of water. When the grains will press between the thumb and finger, drain through a wire sieve, return to the stove for a few minutes, and it is ready for use. A little cream may be added, or beef es sence poured over. Dried beef, finely shaved with a sharp knife, stewed in a small quantity of milk, and this thickened with cornstarch, a bit of butter added Is appetizing over mashed potato, macaroni, rice or a slice of toast. Fresh beef should be scraped with a sharp knife, made Into a cake and broiled. An English sparrow roasted with a pota to makes a delicate morsel for the patient. Select a large potato, wash, cut in halves and slightly hollow out each piece. Have ready the bird, picked, drawn and stripped of wings and legs. Season with sMt and a little butter, place between the halves of potato, tie together and bake in a hot oven. For .chicken jelly, a pint of cold water for a pound of chicken is require d. Simmer four hours. Then strain, season and set away to cool. Celery, parsley and bay leaves can be stewed with the chicken to give variety to the taste. A portion of the breast from a cold-boiled or roasted fowl makes an ap petizing sandwich. Cut the meat fine, place in a bowl, and with a potato masher pound it to a paste. Spread between thin slices of buttered bread. The Houfteworker'M' Hands. Ladles' Home Journal. Housework ic rather hard on the hands, but there are some precautions which, if taken, will add greatly to the comfort of the worker and tho appearance of the hands. Among the things which roughen and blacken the hands the most important are dust. soap, fruit, vegetables, and neg lect to properly , dry tho hands. Wash atl vegetables before paring. When the hands r.re stained by fruit or vegetables be sure to rerrove the stains before the hands com- in cor.tact with soap or soapy water. Re move the stains with an acid, such as lemon, vinegar or sour miik, then wash in elear water. When using soap and water for any purpose be sure to rinse off ad the s ap before wiping the hands. Always wipe tho hands perfectly dry. Do not thar.ee soaps If you can avoid it, and al ways use a good soap. When sweeping and dusting wear loose-fitting gloves. Have a pair of lubber gloves for use when it is p-cesary to have the hands In water a preat deal. Grease spoils rubber, therefore 'nc gloves must be washed perfectly clean a? soon as the work is finished. A litt!" bran and milk or vinegar will make the l ands clean and smooth after dish-washing or any other, work that roughens them. With a little practice, one can wash dishes ar- well and as quickly with a dish-mop as with a cloth and the hands. There should be two mops, one for the tableware and -no for the cooking-dishes. For washing fioors have a selt-wrlnging mop. To soften rd whiten the hands use some sort of c.eam on them at night, then powder them with cornstarch and put them in loose gloves kept fur this purpose. Odds nnl Ends.

A recent social meeting of the Woman's Club of Nahant, Mass., was made a "por trait afternoon." The walls of the elub rooms were hung with portraits of famous men and women of both olden and modern times, and the members were asked to identify as many as possible. To the two ladles presenting the largest correct lists when time was called were given bouquets of ilowers. An ingenious and satisfactory arrange ment fitted to writing tables that have only the limited accommodations of small draw ers is a deep bag of heavy silk that hangs to a frame attached below the table.

New York Commercial Advertiser. Major Pond. In his volume ef reminis cences, which has just been published, tells a very characteristic anecdote about Charles Sumner, which in a small way explains why it was that Sumner, though admired Lv so many persons, never really teuched the hearts of the people. It ap pears that in the ante-bellum days the elder Pond revered Sumner as bting the greatest man of the age. and never -poke of hlin. even casually, except as "Honor able Charles Sumner." On one occasion Sumner was to speak at a town in the vi cinity of Mr. Pond's home, and both fa ther and son walked nine miles in order to listen for the first time to the distin guished orator. They secured a seat in the front row, so that when his speech was over they might climb the platform and say a word to the object of their ad miration. As soon as the oration was ended, however. Sumner slipped away so quickly that there was no opportunity to address him. So, early the next morning, the two men trudged over to the railway station at the hour of Sumner's departure. They found him occupying a seat In the train, an Imposing and truly senatorial figure. Going up to him, the elder Pond said: "Honorable Charles Sumner, I have read all your speeches, and 1 think it is the duty of every American who meets you to take you by the hand. This is my son." The senator saw neither of the men, but he did see the porter who was passing, and remarked to him in somewhat icy tones: "Can you not give me a. seat where I shall be undisturbed?" And thus the Incident was closed. Old llookn. A thrasher prime is Father Time; When harvest loads his wain He beats the hollow husks aside And hoards the golden grain. A winnower is Father Time; The chaff he blows away; Th sweetest seed he treasures up For many a year and day. Oh. very wise Is Father Time!
