Advice Upon Money Matter?.
Alwnys k?ep a supply of change on
hand-half-dollars, quarters, dines
and nickels. This will obviate keep
ing people waiting for change and
wasting your time or the time of
others waiting till change be made.
It will also help you to save many
cents in the course of a week, especial
ly if everything that comes to your
home is paid for in ?ash. Many house
wives object to thk method of keep
ing change handy, because as soon as
a bill ls "broken" lt goes without
their knowing how or where. This is
rather the fault of mismanagement
than the consequence of keeping
change. If money passes through
other hands than your own before it
ls finally paid it is time and trouble
saved to have the exact change to
band out-American iueen.
Summer Sagcestlons*
i Tucks will be ubiquitous.
Undersleeves will hold their own.
Plaids, as a rule, are things to shun.
Heavy stitchings in many instances
look like tucks at a short distance.
Jabots will help out shirtwaists
with more or less open jabots.
Shaped taffeta strappings will finish
scalloped edges. *
Battlements will be a feature of
sartorial architecture.
Bodices buttoned or hooked up the
back are gai ring favor.
Breadth of the shoulders is being
more acceuted.
Nun's veiling, cashmere, foulard and
crepe are talked of for occasions upon
which wash dresses would be too
light.
Elbow puffs may make a sylph out
of one girl, and a balloon of another.
Pompadour silk is nearly always a
lovely evening dress.
. A cording of black will set off many
a dashing dress of light foulard.

Well-broajrht-up rrlnc9iisrs.
The Qneen of England, so long and
lovingly known as the Princess of
"Wales, or the "princess," has been
very particular in bringing up her
daughters, so as to secure for them
good physical health. She. made the
most of the time spent by the royal
household in the highlands of Scot
land. Here the young princesses were
kept out of doors as much as possible,
enjoying the fresh air in fair weather
or in cloudy. A great part of the day
was spent by them in loose-fitting
dresses, with unstiff ened bodices,
adapted for hill climbing.
The princesses dressed for ^dinner I
in conventional evening drj^pVffcrn
over the whaleboned^^elet which
some women wgjgr'flay in and day out,
butJiABe^ve?ing hours of tight-fitting
"clothing came at the end of a day
spent in loose garments, which did
not impede the b~eathing or the cir
culation. This sensible regime of
educating daughters with as much
chance of fresh air exercise as would
be given boys was insisted upon by
Alexandria, now Queen of England..
A Novel Ten Gown.
A becoming tea gown. In which one
can lounge in luxurious armchairs
after a day's sport or touring, is a
most desirable addition to the ward
robe, and an extremely pretty gown
suitable for this purpose is made of
soft broche silk in pale turquoise blue
and biscuit color, and it is mounted
on a lining of soft china silk or nun's
veiling, which fits into the figure at
the back, but has no darts in front, so
the fullness is caught together by a
lace belt. The yoke, which is trans
parent and extends over the shoulders,
is of biscuit colored tucked chiffon, with
bands of ecru guipure lace insertion
in between, and the collar and bands
on the sleeves are of lace insertion,
with frills of soft lace edging of the
same becoming tint gathered into
them. From the bottom of the yoke
all around the shoulders hangs a frill
of lace, and this is not carried quite
to the centre of the front, but the
ends are gathered and arranged in
waterfall frills, which taper off and
.end about 10 inches below the waist.
If desired, the yoke could be lined
with pale blue china silk to make it a
little firmer, or a lining of cream or
flesh colored silk might be used, if the
contrast with the rest of the gown
were desired without the transparency.
The sleeves have close fitting linings
of thin silk or nun's veiling to hold
the full puff in position.
Hair to Be Dressed Low Now.
In Paris, whence the fashions come,
the women are wearing their hair
dressed low on the nape of the neck
and it is predicted that before long
the chignon will be back again. The
proprietors of the bair-dressing estab
lishments settled it. They held their
annual meeting and dinner not long
ago and decided that the low style of
hair dressing should prevail. Each
year in this way the lords of the
brush and the curling tongs set the
fashion in hair and usually their edict
is obeyed till a year later they amend
it and set a new standard.
But this is in Paris. It is predicted
by hair dressers here that it will be
some time before American women
who are devoted at present to wearing
their hair high comply with the de
cree. Whether the, hair is dressed
high or low, however, it must be beau
tifully waved and must be dressed
with careless grace so that it may look
as if it could be easily shaken down
were the wearer to jump about very
much. About this there will be no
difficulty as the fashion bas beers,
tending in that direction already.
A new ribbon loop coiffure is being
successfully Introduced by fashionable
hairdressers and this ls how it is ar
ranged: Wave the hair all around
the head and gather lightly to the
top, fastening with tape or string.
Divide the hair into strands and form
Into loops or puffs by doubling over
the open hand and securing to the
main fastening. Curl the ends and
arrange around the loops, which may
be made to stand upright or may be
spread out in Alsatian effect.-New

Hints on Mourning Gowns.
Mourning costumes of today are less
exacting than formerly. The time was
when a widow who wore a touch of
white within a year of her adoption
of black would have been regarded as
unfit for social recognition. Now it is
not unusual to see a touch of white
chiffon at the throat, even in the
earliest days of widowhood, and some
times a whole vest of white chiffon is
worn before the close of the first year.
The materials chosen for mourning
are more varied than has been cus
tomery heretofore. Rough and
smooth serges, vicunas, cashmeres,
henriettas, cr?pons and nun's veilings
all are correct and durable, and can
be made available for general use
after the period of conventional
mourning is ended.
The princess is a favorite mode of
making gowns of this character for
women of svelte and youthful figure,
while the recently revived postilion
basque is occasionally seen on women
of more portly type.
Dull finished ribbons are worn as
sashes, and give a touch of the mourn
ing aspect to any black gown. A ros
ette with long ends attached to the
corsage on the left, near the shoulder,
is a pretty addition to an otherwise
simple costume.
A handsome gown made recently
for a mourning wardrobe was cut with
the new^princess skirt reaching to the
bust line, and had a blouse of dull
black taffeta. The coat was a bolero
with stitched edges, and the fronts
were elongated to permit of their being
drawn through a Jct buckle and hang
ing like sash ends nearly to the hem
of the skirt
Another costume was of zibeline,
with the princess skirt, black crepe de
chine pleated blouse and a bolero of
Persian lamb. The toque was of
black chiffon, with large rosettes. A I
black fox boa and muff were the furs I
ordered, and neck ruchings of black j
silk edged with chenille were Included.
While black fox is regarded as espe
cially appropriate to deep mourning,
broadtail and caracul also are used.
When the mourning period has
reached a term that admits of the ac
ceptance of informal invitations for
evening, black net is peculiarly fitting,
and may be accompanied by either
chiffon or ribbon for sash and cor
sage bows. Made high over a low lin
ing, with unlined sleeves, the effect
is quietly elegant.
Mr*. McKinley's Garden.
It must be pleasant to be a lady of
the White House as spring approaches,
for she can look forward to the en
jo)iment of one of the earliest and
most beautiful gardens in the country.
Mrs. McKinley's posy beds will then
take on delicate hues of green and
rose mauve and misty yellow; then
the colors will deepen and the beds
be jewelled with wide-opened blos
soms, and by the middle of April the
White House gardens will be brilliant
and full of color as a Diaz picture.
This effect is brought about by sys
tem and order and foresight. In Oc
tober the hyacinths, tulips, crocuses
and narcissus bulbs are placed in
the ground. Forget-me-nots, pansies,
field daises and many other plants are
t-*^*^-- These remain in the beds
ter. aDd flower from the middle
of March to the^d^dle of May^I^ajt?'j
in April the summer""Tr!Wf??hg com
mences, and continues until the close
of May, by which time the cannas
and geraniums and endless other va
rieties of newcomers are installed in
their summer home. During the fall
planting at the White House there are
placed in the ground more than 56,000
bulbs and fully 5000 plants, whereas
in the spring 35,000 plants, embracing
,150 varieties, are set out. Surrounding
the executive mansion are 55 flower
beds of various sizes, and aggregat
ing in area several acres. All of the
beds must be shielded in winter by
elaborate blanketings of protective ma
teriel, and in the case of many of the
beds precaution must always be taken
lest they be washed out by the heavy
1 rainfall. It takes care and caution to
make a president's garden.
The work of peopling the half a
hundred flower beds with their richly
arrayed inhabitants is of itself a gi
gantic task. All of the plants come
from the great White House conserva
tories, and at planting-time a dozen
men are busy for a month or more?
setting them out. There are placed
in the ground each year more than
6000 tulips, embracing not less than
half a hundred species, 2500 pansy
plants, 2000 field daises, from 6000 to
8000 geraniums and other flowers in ;
proportion. As an example of the in
tr?cate planting introduced it may be
stated that there are on the grounds
two fancy flower beds, neither of them
very large, in each of which there are j
more than 5000 small plants.
No wonder Mrs. McKinley has a
lovely view from her window.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
BENEFIT
Hats still peroh at a dizzy angle.
Blouses are to be prime favorites.
Short boleros top off the princess
dress.
In striped materials the sleeves are
often made crosswise.
Skirt flounces are often tucked down
a part of their depth.
Elbow sleeves are bits of beauty
which will be retained.
Velvet ribbon put on in strap effect
ornaments some gala gowns.
Chambray will figure for shirtwaist
suits. So will zephyr ginghams.
Agullettes now tag strappings as
well as the ends of ribbon bows.
Fancy lace yokes often have an ef
fective elongation in vest effect at
the front.
Clusters of tucks, three say, add
much to the effectiveness of many a
blouse, especially if they go 'round
and 'round.
Whether the undersleet'j is a mere
puff at the wrist 6r shows all the
way to the elbow is a mere matter
of preference.
One of the simplest yet most effec
tive trimmings Is a row of narrow
striped silk set In with tucks or : raid.
The stripes go crosswise.
French dressmakers seldom fail to
add a touch of coral, or American
beauty, or apple green, or turquoise,
or violet, which ever suits best.
For finer wear the thread lace
tissues, St. Gaul tissues, embroidered
pineapples, Swiss novelties and satin
striped tissues will be much sought.
English Language Spreading.
One hundred years ago only 21,000,
000 people spoke the English language
Now it is estimated that 130.000.000 of
the inhabitants of the globe employ
the English tongue in their dally busi
ness.
Florida people are going more and
more into the small fruit and orange
business.

t. he Elephant S{o?ps.
-i ' r
One ol > most erroneous of the
many qu<v- ideas which the layman
has on tte questions of natural his
tory is the one respecting the ele
phant's mode of sleeping. Even the
old schools of naturalists declared that
the elephant has never b*ieh known to
sleep except in a standing position. Of
late, however, say within the last cen
tury, it has been learned that tne er
ror .came about by persons studying
the habits of such beasts as had not
been long in captivity. Such animals,
when undergoing the process of domes
tication, have been known to stand for
12, 18 or even 24 months without once
lying down to sleep. This is regarded
as a want of confidence in their keep
ers, coupled with longing desire for
liberty. When elephants are perfect
ly at ease and reconciled to their fate,
they will He down on their sides and
sleep as all other beasts do.
A Hear Aboajd Ship.
"Bears make good pets," said Lieu
tenant Clark. "When I was In the rev
enue service at Alaska we had one on
the boat and he made things hum. We
named him Wineska. He used to climb
to the crosstrees, going up hand over
hand by the ratlins. One day he ven
tured out on the yardarm, and there
he stayed. We had to get a rope and
haul bim down. Once he vaulted over
the head of our Chinese cook and went
into the locker, where he helped him
self to sugar and butter. We had a
tackling made for him, much the same,
as a harness of a pet pug, and would
drop him overboard, with a rope at
tached, to take his bath. Once he;
landed in a native boat and nearly
frightened the occupants out of their
wits. He was as playful as a kitten,
and although sometimes he disobeyed
he was never treacherous or unkind. .
When he was lost or hid himself, as he
often did, we would look in the dark
till we saw two balls of fire. These
were his eyes, and gave him away ev
ery time."-New Orleans Picayune.
A Noble Dog.
A gentleman recently sold his villa
just out side Paris to move into a flat '
within the city walls. On leaving the
country he parted with his Danish
boarhound, too big an animal for a
Paris flat, to a gamekeeper of the dis
trict. The new owner found the cost,
of keeping so big a dog too great ?e
decided to be rid of him. With thia
idea he took the dog out in a boat-C
the middle to the neighboring Marne,
tied a stone to his neck and pushed
him over. But the stone came untied,
and the Dane swam after the boat Tho
gamekeeper struck the poor dog with
an oar, so that the water was dyed
with blood; but still the Dane swam
after the boat Enraged at his persis
tency, the gamekeeper rose and swung
his oar to strike the Dane again, so vi
olently this time that he overbalanced
and fell Into the water. The game
keeper could not swim, and must have
boen drowned, had not the noble Dane
come to the rescue and held him up
till he managed to clamber into the
boat again. A revulsion of feeling took
place. The gamekeeper bound up the
wound in the dog's head, and he now
says that death alone shall part him
from his dog-Le Temps.
A Doll Storr.
When I was a little girl mamma
gave me a large doll. This new doll
was very pretty; for she had round,
rosy cheeks, bright blue eyes, and
black, curly hair-of course,- make-be
lieve bair, for she had a china head
and a kid body.
My dolly, when mamma gave her
to me, was dressed In a gown of lovely
blue silk and a cunning white apron
trimmed with lace; and upon her feet
were some little black kid shoes, or
"ankle-ties." Oh, how I loved dear
pretty dolly!
I could not think of a name nice
enough for my precious china baby
until one Saturday afternoon, when
school did not keep, mamma took me
to a "show," where I saw some "little
people," pretty little dwarf people. I
well remember Tom Thumb and La
vinia Warren-a tiny grown up man
and a tiny grown up woman, not much
larger than good-sized dolls. On the
way home, I said, "Oh, mamma, I am
going to name my dolly Lavinia War
ren!"
Near the house where I lived when a
little girl there was a stone wall; and
I loved to go out there with Lavinia
in my arms, and climb up and Blt on
the wall, and look off at the fields of
green grass and watch the little birds
hopping about in the trees, and gaze
up at the broad blue sky beyond the
treetops.
I was a very little girl, you know,
and mamma often told me I was care
less and forgetful. Therefore, I must
have been naughty sometimes, and not
have tried to remember to "hold on
tight" to anything I had in my hands.
I know you will say, "How could
you have been so forgetful!" when I
tell you that one day I dropped poor
Lavinia Warren upon the wall, and her
pretty pink face, with her blue eyes
and black curly hair, was "smashed"
on the stones! Oh, how I cried! I am
to mamma, crying and sobbing, "La
vinia Warren's broke!"
Mamma took me in her lap, and said:
"Don't cry, my little girl! Crying won't
mend Lavinia's head." And then she
took me by thc hand, and went with
nie to the spot where headless Lavinia
was lying. Her dear little kid arms
and her little upturned feet, and her
pretty face all scattered about her,
caused me to cry more than ever. I
shall never forget that sight
Mamma bought me another dolly,
but this new one had a wooden head.
I was fond of her. Still, I never loved
her as I did dear Lavinia Warren. But
I have always remembered since that
sad mishap, to "hold on tight." Mam
ma said I would not forget again, jind
Tho Storr of Dick, the Turtle.
Dick's life is not all sleeping anti
worm buntine- Every second day he
bas a long swim in the bath, and he
has certain social and domestic duties
to perform which are very important
When company ls expected Dick has
to wear bis swellest garb, a broad
crimson ribbon, which ls tied around
his shell, and into a huge bow upon his
back. So attired, be gravely marches
about as if he considered himself no
unimportant personage. When all the
pets are "dressed up" with similar rib
bons, the effect is very comical.
Dick has to do bis share of the work,
too; for this is insisted upon by a very
young lady, whose coLnno-iida are not
to be trifled with. She owns a small
cart and a vague number of dolls, in
cluding one springy rubber man.
To the hinder edge of Dick's shell
is affixed a ring-a solid gold one, by
the way; for it rightly belongs to the
stem of a certain watch. The cart bas
a cord and a gold snap, which should
be at the end of a watch chain I know
of. This snap is fastened to the ring,
the lady dolls are seated in the cart,
the springy rubber man ls placed upou
Dick's back, and hay!-away they all
go for a 10-foot dash down the stone
walk.
This performance never fails to de
light the young lady who owns the
dolls, while Dick does not mind it in
theieast. One terrible day-I almost
shudder to think of it-the rain had
left a pool about four inches deep at a
low spot in the walk. Dick was hitched
up to take bis party for its usual air
ing; and lo! ''he yunned away," as the
young lady put lt Away he went full
gallop, straight for the pool. The par
ty came near being drowned!
So exciting was the work of rescue
and the restoring to consciousness of
the lady passengers that the rubber
man was forgotten. Later, after the
pool had been dragged and everything
possible had been done, he was found
in a thick growing plant, where Dick
had left him a la Absalom.
Dick for a time strove to make
friends with the black turtle; but of
late he has discovered bis own image
_in a mirror which extends to the floor
of the studio. He climbs up the carved
moulding, and intently regards bis re
flection for an hour at a time. Wheth
er he fancies that he has found some
captive maiden of his race or merely
desires to be sociable, as other turtles
are upon logs, I am not prepared to
say.
Taken up on his merits Dick is a harm
less and most interesting pet He has
already shown much more Intelligence
and I should not be astonished if a
few years of good treatment developed
his faculties much further.-Our Ani
. mal Friends.
TWO LOUISIANA PEDLERS.
Both S ii fie rod from Prejudice and Both
Became Very Wealthy.
k The careers of two remarkable ped
I lers are recalled by the decision of the
bpoli?? Jury of West Baton Rouge, La.,
to divert' the Poydras fund from its
original purpose of providing trous
seau and dowers for marriageable
young girls, and to apply lt to the
higher education of girls. These ped
iera were Julien Poydras, who insti
tuted the fund, and Leon Godchaux,
who died some months ago the richest
man in Louisiana and probably the
largest sugar planter in the world.
Both came from France. Poydras
being a French Protestant, Godchaux
-a French Jew. Both suffered from
the prejudice that existed against ped
iera. Their prejudice cost Poydras a
bride and left bim a bachelor, to be
queath his entire fortune to young
girls and children. It brought God
chaux an Insult which he never forgave
and memory of which is preserved in
the name of his plantation, "Sou
venir."
Poydras reached Louisiana while the
colony was still under Spanish control.
He had the misfortune to fall in love
with the daughter of a rich planter.
The match was declared to be Impos
sible because he could not comply
with the French system of dowry,
which required the husband to pro
vide a marriage portion; and also be
cause of the more SOFIOUS objection
presented by his calling, and so the
girl married another suitor.
Poydras never forgot ber. He pros
pered and became one of the wealth
iest men in Louisiana. When Louis
iana became a part of the United
States Poydras was sent as first dele
gate from what was then the Terri
tory of Orleans, now the state of Louis
iana.
Although the wealthiest man in the
state, he lived in the simplest manner.
When Louis Philippe came as a refu
gee to Louisiana Poydras entertained
him magnificently and even provided
the future king of tho French with
money, but his own room was as bare
and destitute of luxury as a frontiers
man's cabin. He refused to yield even
when - death approached and died
standing rather than take to his bed.
His will showed that his first love
was still dormant in his mind, although
over 80 years. His fortune was divi
ded into tr*o parts. One was devoted
to providing dowers and trousseau for
young girls, so that none of them
should be prevented from marrying
her sweetheart because of lack of
money. The other half was devoted
to the establishment of an orphan asy
lum In New Orleans. Children of his
own being denied him by his misfor
tune in love, Poydras was one of the
most devoted friends of the young.
Soon after Poydras passed away God
chaux arrived in New Orleans from
France. As a pealar he had many
rebuffs to face. In one place he was
roughly handled, and the dogs set on
him. He never forgot or forgave that
indignity. When he became rich he
secured possession of the plantation,
where lt occurred and changed to
"Souvenir" the name its Creole owner
had bestowed upon lt.-New York Sun.
H ti ii cry Exposition Visitor?.
Those who were visitors to the Paris
exposition will be Interested to learn
a few telling facts and figures con
cerning the meat which the French
capital consumed dally on an average
during the month of September, when,
lt should be remembered, a larger
number of visitors came to see the ex
position than at any other time dur
ing the summer.
The slaughter house at Villette,
which supplies Paris, dispatched dur
ing the month a daily average of 5044
oxen, 1041 cows, 23.384 sheep, 3725
pigs, and 2099 calves. This compares
85 follows with the average daily re
quirement at ordinary Mmes: Paris
eats then 1210 oxen, 450 cows, 13,929
sheep, 4398 plgB, and 1425 calves.
But, of course, it would be impossible
for France alone to supply the stom
ach of Paris with meat. Germany,
