dress herself al to eeem comfortable. If
it is not possible tn roally he cool, then
look it. It's a duty you owe to your
self and others. To that end wear
sheer bodices. Your ekirt may be duck

fluffy, sheer stuff. Turn-awßy collars

on a hot day. White is a good ohoice,
but not always the best for cool effect,
because it sometimes makes tbe skin
Beem too pink by contrast. A delicate
green is, perhaps, tbe very best, or a
delicate blue or gray. Select a material
that chows a tiny line of white or blaok
throngb it and trim with insertion of
iace, white or black to match. Make
the gown very simply, for fussy dresses
alwayß look warm. Wear a fresh flower
at the belt. Carry a sunshade lined
with delicate green, or a faint blue to
mnteh the dress. Have faultlessly
white gloves loosely on tbe hand, wear
white shoes and stocking*, and a
dreamy, cool smile will complete a get
up that ought to make you a necessity
in every family, as the tinman said of
the patent egg-beater.
If you want something which is very
dressy and stylish and will have it
white, then consider the gown in the
first, small picture. It is of white silk
and has a gored skirt trimmed with
bands of white bead end jet passemen
terie, a short strip showing in tbe cen
ter of the front and two long ones ap
pearing at either side. The back and
sides are plain. The bodice has fitted
lining and a plain plastron of white silk
ornamented, as shown, with passemen
terie matching that on the ekirt. Its
sides are covered with fronts of white
tulle heavily spangled with jet and
bunched into rosettes on the shoulders.
The hat is entirely black, and is gar
nished with velvet ribbon and ostrich
plumes. It illustrates prettily the pres
ent favored trick of having a hat cov
ered tuiokly with euch plumes, which
may droop or stand op assertively, to
the wenrer'a taste.
If you cannot manage a gown of silk,
why not emulate the enthusiasm of the
shooters of election time and make your
cry: "What's the matter with ging
ham? It's oil right; it's a dandy!" For
proof of this reply, turn to the second
picture. Here the material is gingham

the plain gored skirt, and it has four

Never web there n greater supply of
available colors, arid they enter into
dresses as the animals weut into tbe
ark —by twos, for the rule is quite gen
eral to have at least two colore for every
dress. Here is the way the shades pair
off for the mazes of the fashionable
parade: Gray nnd white, yellow and
white, blue aad white, all these colors
witb black, blue and gray, green and
gray, lilac and whito, lilac and pale blue,
lilao and delicate yellow, very delicate
pink with lots of white, two shades of
light green, and black and white. This
is but a small beginning of tho list,
which is increased by many capricious
combinations. In the third gown which
the artist sets forth, sapphire blue and
black show in tbe taffeta which com
poses it. The ekirt has a plain front and
aides, and the back is arranged in three
godet pleats very full around the bot
tom. It ie not trimmed on tbe outside,
but a lace frill comes inside. The round
bodice is made of bias silk and faetens
in front. It is trimmed wilh a jet plas
tron showing only in front and a deep
collarette of spangled black tulie, hav
ing two long tabs in front tied with jet
ornaments in the waist and also
weighted with jet at the bottom.
The fads of the eammer girl are differ
ent, one year from another, as are her
gowns, and a season rarely passes but
some craze springe up which necessi
tates a apeoial coßtumo, Usually these
take the Bhape of some sport, and boat
ing, tennis and golf have had their in
nings, but this summer's example
mikes a pretense ol usefulness and dubs
its devotee the "emergency girl." Iv
days long ago it was the housewifely
little person who carried an emergency
bag and was always aula and ready to
repair any mishap of raiment, but in
the summer of 1804, mind you, she
must be able to take a ettich, not in the
coat but in the wearer, if he needs it.
She must not only know how to eew on
a button, but be ready to put on a patch
anywhere you need one or sow up a
seam wherever you are cut. Her little
emergency case is small and black aud
in it are all eortß of drng store things;
rolls of bandages, wads of cotton, queer
needles, curly scissors and so on. She is
supposed to have a large white apron
and a pair of turn back cuffs in tbe out
fit, and when she has to sew she puts
tbem on and looks sweet, no matter
how she hurts ber patient. Tbe rogula
tion apron is a wide one reaching to tbe
edge of tbe dress, tbe belt is wide and it
buttons in tbe back. It is enough in
tself to transform tbe giddiest creature
Into a staid, competent emergency girl
at once.
She goes to work on the principle that
tbe appearance of tho nurse hiss great
effect on the poor patient, and if she
has a chance, will part her hair in the
middle and comb it straight down over
tho ears, with just one or two little
curls escaping for luck. At the back it
is drawn high to tbe top of the bead
and held with a comb. The fashion is
not becoming to ail faces, but it confers
distinction, whether improving or not.
It is sometimes a mistake to wait for a
becoming fashion. You are fortunate,
of course, if the vogue suits you, but
whether it suits or not, it is worth while
to follow it. At least you can look "just
right," and that is better form than be
ing merely pretty. It makes the pretty
girls actually wild to realize that the
homely one looks three times as well as
StnsibU attire for traveling.

The time for returning fo town from

even the most fnvored, so consideration
of traveling dresses is timely. After a

woolen suiting of a grayish green ia used
in the first of these. It is made with »

having n yoke of dark green embroi

itself a great sacrifice in these days of
brilliant cape linings—and has emhroi*

draped bertha, whose corners and edges
are blbo embroidered with green silk, as.
is tho email yoke visible above the ber
tha. Tho standing collar has a large
bow of green silk ribbon in back. The
bat to be worn with tbe costume is a
small toque, either ol straw or velvet,
which is trimmed with two white lace
wings, two blackbird wings and a rib
bon rosette in the center.

THE THING BUCKED.
The Experience <> r nn Editor Upon n
New-Bought Riojele.
A conn try editor who has forsaken
journalism for the more lucrative field
of politicß, gives the following descrip
tion o! his attempt to master the first
luxury which his new vocation enabled
him to buy:
Tbe now wheel I had purchased was
one of these light airy things which
must be handled with care, so I bor
rowed from an unsuspecting friend, a
wheel which weighed something less
than a ton and which was strong enough
to carry the Cardiff giant. In order to
have plenty of room I went to a ten-acre
clearing on the brow of a hill, and it
was none too big—the clearing I mean.
Well the thing bucked at a peb
ble worse than any broncho, then it
shied at the shadow of my left heel
going over tbe right-hand corner of the
handle bar. Next it wanted forest end,
as its will was law with me, I allowed it
to lie down awhile, and lest it should
be lonesome I laid down with it to keep
it company.
After awhile we got np again and I
thought we would try something easy,
going down hill—it was easy, too easy in
fact. We started all right end i! there
hadn't been any bottom to that hill we
might be going yet. We found the bot
tom simultaneously. I am glad we
found the bottom; I am also glad that
the wheel was a strong one. Wish I
was as Btrong.
Arnica was at a premium nt our house
that night.
The next morning the brass-mounted
ball-bearing-double-dashed broncho wae
a little more docile and I was a little
more thoroughly broken to the saddle.
I started out in fine style, confident that
I bad conquered tbe beast, but I bad
forgotten that one must sometimes
stoop to conquer. I euddenly remem
bered it, however, and then I stooped
several times all nt once to make np ior
lost time, as it were. The stoop was
graceful and artistic; it could not be
otherwise, for every posßiole kind o( a
stoop was there given in a much shorter
space of time than it seemed, while
they and I were being executed.
Fortunately ln this mundane exist
ence misery cannot endure forever, and
I finally got the beast under control, but
I got right down to bed rock (rock first
and bed afterward) in doing it.
You may think I have paid very dear
for my whistle, but my fun is coming
later on—my wife is going to learn to
ride.
BOTH ARE INSANE.
A Hasbanfl'a Grief for His Incuts Wife
Onniei His Insanity.
A pitiful case of insanity was disposed
of in Judge York's court yesterday aft
ernoon. Mrs. Emma Hentelof Pasadena
was the unfortunate person. She imag
ined that the weight of the whole world
rested on her ehoulders, for which she
wanted to commit suicide.
She was ordered committed to the
asylum at Highlands, whither she was
removed last evening.
Tbe poor wife bad not been gone an
hour when the huaband, Alexander
Hentel, wae brought in from Paaadena
by Constable Slater. He was placed in
the county jail, and unless his dementia
shows signs of abatement, he will join
his wife on Monday.
The poor husband went insane on ac
count of hia wife. He wept like a baby
at her going away, and said he did not
care to live any longor.

tho delivery of Giimpaea of America.
Ever Bince the first portfolio was re
ceived there haa been a eteadily increas
ing call for this great work. Nothing
equaling it haß ever before been attempt
ed in the United States. Nearly $100,000
was spent by the publishers in the com
pilation of Glimpses. It covers a vast
amount of territory never before illus
trated, and presents the old familiar
ecenio wonders of Yoaemite, Yellow
stone, Niagara and Colorado in a more
artistic manner than ever before. In tbe
east tbe circulation of Glimpses has been
enormous. In all the great cities where
the book has been offered on the coupon
plan people actually stood in line at tbe
newspaper offices' waiting to get it
at the nominal price it is sold at, or,
rather, given away.
The following letters are in response
to the offer of the Herald to present a
tire', and Becond prize for the best com
munication of 40 words or less descript

cide ou tbe merits of tho letters is as fol

An Immense Artesian Well for
Irrigation.
A Large Amount of Improvements
in the Month of July.
Hoparnl Outlook for a Fall Baal Batata
Markat—Many Naw Honeee and
Business Bloaka ln All Parts
or tlio Olty.
What will undoubtedly prove to be
the largest artesian well in this state, if
not in tbe world, has just been sank at
Bixby, on the line of the Terminal rail
way, some six or eight miles this side of
Long Beaoh. It is down 400 feet and
flows a stream sufficient to irrigate the
entire section lying between here and
the section referred to. When the drill
bad nearly reached the 400 foot mark it
suddenly dropped 15 feet and went into
a subterreanean stream which has since
proven to be 65 feet deep. This flows
from the mountains to tbe sea.
A very curious feature of the well, and
one which will prove of more than pas
sing interest, lies in the fact that when
the tools were pulled np a large quantity
of shells, pieces of stone of singular
formation and a piece of bone was forced
up by the heavy stream. Among tbe
shells there are several pieces of oyster
of the native variety. They are all quite
as fresh and sound as if they had been
removed from the beach but the day be
fore. It is very evident that the valley
in which the well is situated must have
been at one time, eoveral thousand years
ago, an indentation of the sea, and it is
even possible tbat whore Los Angeles
now rests the sad sea waves were wont
to frolio in bygone days. Aside from all
such fancies it establishes a fact patent
to everyone that an abundance of water
for all irrigation is easily obtained, par
ticularly in the section about Long Beach.
It is understood that a company haa
been formed with that purpose in view
and the water will be piped to any sec
tion desired.
RSAL ESTATE OUTLOOK.
Weßley Clark of Clark & Bryan, one
of the leading firms in realty in town,
reportß this week quite an improvement
over the last week in Jnly. Several
very good Bales have been made. He wa9
also very outspoken in bis belief in a
highly prosperous fall. "We are bound
lo have a great many strangers here this
fail and winter,'' said he, ''and with all
the advantages of this town and country,
they will never leave without invest
ing." The belief is very general among
well Informed real estate people that
considerable of a stir will take place as
soon as fall seta in.
IMPROVEMENTS IN BONNIE BRAE.
Clark & Bryan have net the pace for
the character of improvements to be
made on South Bonnie Brae, by the
erection of a modern two-story residence
which "rather eclipses anything in that
section for real artistic beauty which
has been built this year. The owners
of the tract, one of the finest in this
city, with graded streets and adorned
with shade trees, have wiaely concluded
not to dispose of it Gave on the condition
thai a respectable appearing house shall
be built. To stimulate a desire to erect
good dwellings and carry out tbeir agree
ment, a tine two-etory residence has
been put up that does them much
credit. It is extremely handsome in de
sign. A veranda surrounds tbe front
and left side. The door at the front is
very handßomely carved, with beveled
plate glass and opens into a liberally
arranged hall witb a tine stairway at the
right, leadiug to the upper part of the
house. A door to the lelt opens into the
parlor, while a door at the end opens
into a dining room. In the rear of the
dining room is a convenieatly planned
pantry, and next to it is a kitchen, fitted
with all the modern conveniences.
Next to the parlor and divided by an
arch of extremely artistic and original
design is a sitting room.
The woodwork of the ball is all in
natural oak and much ol the ornamen
tation is hand carved. Many little fea
tureß have been added to the houae by
tho designer which give it an air essen
tially unique. For instance, in tbe parlor
is a bit ot n window, semi-circular in
shape, fitted with ground glass. It ex
tends out probably a foot or more and
forms just enough of an abandon from
set liDes to give it an effect very pleas
ing. Beneath it is a window seat which
can be upholstered. Very pretty fire
places havo been put in. In the Bitting
room is one finished in birdaeye maple;
one in the dining room in oak and one
in a large uhamber above in redwood,
There are three large chambers above,
together with a bathroom, and closets.
A very pretty little balcony extends
from in front of the house just above
the main entrance, ln fact, the house
is not only a beaut, inside and out, bat
it is provided with every detail for com
fort, even to electric lights, electric
bells, automatic gas iigbtera, a cement
basement, cement walks and such
other arrangements as go to add com
pleteuess to a modern dwelling in a very
aristocratic part of town.
