SANDOW GlftL THE LATEST New Shirt Waist Lends an Athletic Effect to the figure. The Sandow girl is in style. The new shirt waists are built so that a woman looks twice as wide as she is, says the London Times. In her skirt she looks narrower, for skirts are very clinging, and they are fitted as far down as the knees. But with the waist it is differ ent. Here the figure must be broad and apparently muscular, so that the midsummer woman comes very near being top heavy. The new waists are made with the shoulder plait. This is a fold of cloth which is put on in such a manner that it projects over the shoulders. In cer tain shape it is called the “Gibsoniau.” and its immediate effect is to make the shoulders look very wide. It is really more becoming to a slender woman than to a plump one, but both styles are wearing it, and you are gradually getting used to the woman who looks twice as broad as she did in the spring. Sleeves display the same peculiarity. They are tucked in rows of tucking running around the arm, and they are trimmed with bands of lace going round and round, all of which tend to make the sleeves large and the arm big. f The Fairy Lamplighter. • Affection often inspires ingenuity. In a life of Joseph Severn the narra tive of the artist's care of the poet Heats in his last illness includes a graceful incident. Severn, worn out with watching and tireless service, would sometimes drop asleep and al low the caudle to go out, thus leaving the sick man in darkness, which he dreaded. Realizing that this was lia ble to occur, Severn hit upon a happy device to keep the light still burning. One evening he fastened a thread from the bottom of the candle already light ed to Jhe wick _at the top of another unliglited one set ready ii$ar bj^ Not being sure the experiment would succeed, he had not mentioned it, and when later on he fell napping as the first candle was burning low the in valid was too considerate to awake him, but lay patiently awaiting the ex-1 tinction of the fluttering flame. Slid- J denly, just as he expected gloom and ! blackness, the connecting thread—too ( fine and distant for him to see—caught j fire, and a tiny spark began to run j along it. Then he waked the sleeping nurse with an exclamation of joyful . surprise. “Severn! Severn!” he cried. “Here’s a little fairy lamplighter actually lit up the other candle!” But it was only the good fairy of many sickrooms—loving forethought— that had lighted the caudle. Practice and Preaching. When the late Bishop Hare was pre siding over a Methodist Episcopal church in New York city, a large re ception was given in his honor, to which a brother of his, a lawyer, who closely resembled the bishop, was in vited. During the evening a member of the conference who had never met the bishop’s brother approached him and, shaking him warmly by the hand, said: “Good evening, Bishop Hare. I greatly enjoyed the sermon you gave us today. It is just what this church needs.” ‘Won are mistaken in the person,” said the brother, smiling, as he pointed to the bishop on the opposite side of the room, “that is the man who preach es; I practice.” STOP COLDS when you feel one coming on by taking Krause’s Cold Cure.

Tnev staged at the of fice of the superintendent of charities tuat they had eloped from Dayton four months ago and had gone to Washington, where they were mar ried. This part of the story was sub stantiated by the marriage certificate which they exhibited. From * Wash ington they said they had gone to Richmond, where the young man had si cured employment as a conductor ( n a trolley car. Then came a strike < nd the husband lost his position. His kings were not strong and they de cided that he would be better off at Dayton, especially as there did not seem to.be any way of making a liv ing for himself and wife in Richmond, where he is confident of securing em ployment in Dayton. They had very little money and de cided to walk, ana started out, head ing for Baltimore as one of the stop 1 ing places. It has taken them four weeks to get here. The officials refused to give the names of the couple, but said the man is 27 years old and his wife 17. They declined to accept transporta tion to Dayton, but were provided with shoes.

One of the daintiest of wild flowers ©f June is tlie blossom of that time honored concomitant of roast turkey, the cranberry. While, however, every body knows the berry, few are ac quainted with the flower, for the peat bogs where it blows in the choice fel lowship of the stately pi:.her plant and the golden club aim o;' many a ru;v orchid are quite remote ti m the beaten paths of travel, i ke e merry piuik is a small, slenucr. somewhat trailing shrub, with the neatest of evergreen leaves, from amid which a few threadlike stalks lift their nodding flowers. When fully expanded, the pink lobes of each corolla are curled back like a lily’s, and from the heart of them the compressed stamens pro trude in the shape of a spear point or beak. The imaginative may see in this long beaked little blossom a re semblance to a tiny crane’s h&id, whence some hard pressed etymologist has thought to derive the word cran berry—that is, crane-berry.—“Country Life In America.” Italian Iliugs. Rings of Italian workmanship are remarkably beautiful. Venice partic ularly excelled in this art. In the L011 desborough collection is a tine sped men. The four claws of the outer ring in open work support the setting of a sharply pointed pyramidal diamond, such as was then coveted for writing on glass. The shank bears a fanciful resemblance to a serpent swallowing a bird, of which only the claws con necting the face remain in sight. It was with a similar ring Raleigh ■wrote the words on a window pane, “Fain would I rise but that I fear to fall.” to which Queen Elizabeth added. “If thy heart fail thee, do not rise at all,” an implied encouragement which led him on to fortune.
