Traveling Ciowui. Traveling gowns this year will be made of either mohair or pongee; the pongee are the newer. The dark col ored pongees are the best, although the natural ecru color, for those wom en who can wear it, is always smart and attractive. Mohair, with a dot - or hair line is much smarter than the plain color, and blue is considered smarter than black. These gown3 are made with short skirts, not like rainy day or golf skirts, but distinctly short enough to clear the ground. The jack ets are usually quite short, have tails at the back cut off square, and long pointed fronts. They are simply made, and trimmed with bands of taffeta, or oddly enough, with bands of cloth. A long traveling cloak is one of the fea tures of the season to quote the manu . facturera. It covers up the entire gown.-Harper's Bazar. Women Should Not Fnw. The best-bred women do not fuss. They take their gowns and their furni ture, their jewels and their children as matters of course. They are uncon scious of their veils and their gloves and they expect every one else to be equally so. It they see an intimate friends wearing a handsome gown they refer to it admiringly but they also preface their comment with an apol ogy. Their differences with their hus bands are not aired neither the domes tic upheavals caused by the desertion of the cook on wash morning. The re pose of well-bred women is not the quiet of weakness, it is the calm of trained facilities balanced so nicely that an earthquake may cause a change of color but will not bring forth a loud cry. Well-bred women are a boon to the human race. They help the social and professional world to maintain a high standard both of mor als and behavior. The French l!eel Popular. From gloves to shoes is a natural transition after looking in at the win dow of a fashionable shop where the dress for both extremities are dis played together. 'Tis sad bur very true, that thc French heel is as firmly fixed in popular esteem as ever. The fluffy girl, and lots of other girls, who ought to reason better, wear heels of abnor mal height and of perilous slender ness. The efforts of the shoemakers te establish the Cuban heel have up to this time met with little encourage ment. With nine-tenths of the women it is the French heel or the perfectly flat masculine heel, and what your tru ly smart woman wears, when shopping or calling, is a pair of thinnest, shini est Oxford ties, laced with broad black ribbons that tie in flaring bows over her insteps, mounted on Pompadour heels of thc most exaggerated type and put on over the most delicate laced hose.-Chicago Record-Herald. Some Heit Arrangement*. All sorts of full arrangements are to be seen for belts made of the materials of the gowns with which they are worn. In silk gowns there wi I bs ful led pieces of the silk aro '..d the waist, shaped a little in front, with a bone perhaps, and made to form a little point, and wider in front tnan at the sides, where there is only the materi al. In the back it is fastened with a couple of frills, which s'uid out, are boned, and make the belt as wide as in thc front. Or the belt is simple, pulled down a little in the front, and fastens there with a little shirred frill, one side lapping over the other, sometimes exactly in irv.? *?ntrn, and again a little to one s.de. " There are narrow, stitched, fitted bodice-like belts, though narrow, and some of these are laced through eyelet holes in the back. Or a little soft silk belt will be boned only at the sides, being-a little wider there than in the back or front, where are thc folds of the material only. Similar soft folds of silk finish the necks of some light gowns, simple fulled pieces "fini ?ned in two frills standing out a little at the back, where the ends are hooked to gether.-New York Times. , Improvement ot English Women. Lady Jeune contribute; an .?ter esting article to Ladies' Field ou Eng lish women abroad. She says: "In former times it used to be said there was no mistaking an English woman abroad, for she was always badly dressed, ugly and ill mannered. In short, she was a sort of traveling porcupines byword and a laughing stock to all who saw her. It is a relief now to find how completely all this has changed. When ones goes abroad, one has no cause to feel ashamed of English men or women. Very many more travel now than for merly, but the change wr ich has come over them is indescrioabie. When a tidily dressed, well turned out woman appears, one knows she's English. She's better dressed, in the first in stance, than the American woman, be ing more quietly and suitably attired. She is quieter in her manners and talk, and, allowing her and insular prejudice, one may say she is prettier and more ladylke. She doesn't givo the impres sion that all creation was made for her instead of her being but an atom in the general scheme. She bears fa vorable comparison with French, American, Italian or Austrian women, and the 'style Anglais' is an unmis takable sign." Lady Jeune ascribes the improve ment in the appearance and manners of the English women one mep's tra veling to the revival of athletics. Women's Ben. Two. Jewels and Banblen. The favorite design for the little fancy slides for catching up the loose, straggling hairs at the nape of the neck is two small caduceus wings, set with diamonds o' pearls. Buckles of bloi.d torloit-e-shell are worn in the hair. They are mounted . on a comb. The edge of the buckle, which is long and oent in shape, are powdered with diamond dust. An ornament for hair or corsage is a peacock feather, with an antique cam eo encircled with brilliants, for the eye. The father proper is in trans parent enamels, rc.laving by fine, sparkling lines of diamond:. Lorgnettes are short and delicately fine rather than big and showy as they have been of late. The case into which the glasses fit when the lorg nette is closed, serves as handle as well, and is small and unobtrusive, though of beautiful workmanship. Perfume balls, which are the favor ite charms for neckchains or bracelets, are often in the shape of an almond, a p?.ir or ?n anple, inerusted with dia monds. Som? of these "pomanders" arc ot filigree, others resemble tea balls and are perforated to allow tho sponge inside to "exhale ' its perfume through the tiny holes. An exquisite jewel is in the form of a swarm of dragon flies with outspread ;vihgs. The wings are of transparent enamel, touched with brilliant colors, such as . these airy creatures show when darting about in the sunlight. The bodies are of green enamel, the eyes are small rubies. The ornament is a half-diadem, to be worn very far forward on thc brow, ic can be taken apart and the inaividual flies worn sep arately, makiDg ravishly pretty brooches or coiffure pins.-New York Commercial Advertiser. A Model Nursery. Every baby in the land ought to be deeply interested to learn that at the national congress of mothers held in Washington, recently, one of the nota ble features was a model nursery de signed to instruct mothers how to care in an up-to-date way for their tender offsprings. Babies yet to appear among man kind are cautioned to choose mothers who will give them nurseries like the model exhibited here. I' wis pro nounced a success by every member of the Mothers' Congress. Mrs. Dubois, wife of Senator Dubois, of Idaho, is sponsor for the model nur sery, and has taken a^deep interest in all its workings, coing so far as to lend her baby girl, 22 months old, to illustrate how the model nursery oper ates. Elizabeth Duoois, the baby, is a vigorous youngster and seemed to rather enjoy thc attention she re ceived. She did her best to prove her mamma the greatest model nursery managed ever. Other babies were al so introduced to the luxuries of the model nursery. Mrs. Dubois, in furnishing her model nursery, used only such articles of furniture and dress as had been tested by experienced mothers and found to be the best for the health and comfort of the babies in which they were per sonally interested. There were a baby basket and a layette especially ds signed to make the first month of a baby's life one for the child to look back upon in future years lith keenest joy. This model wardrobe fer newly arrived infants did not include band or bandage of any kind, and all the clothing was constructed so as to hang gracefully from the shoulders. The dresses were just sufficiently long to cover the ?abies' feet, and none of them had court trains. "The i.and which rocks the cradle" may have ruled thc world in a less en lightened age, but it didn't do any rocking in the model nursery. There was no cradle and r.ary a rocker. The crib was on good, solid legs, and bad a not particularly soft mattress. Model nursery babies don't uso soft mat tresses, and they scorn pillows. They just lie dat and sleep. The more they sleep the better the mothers (and fathers) are pleased-especially along about 'thn?e a. m. Little Elizabeth Du bois, during the first y??V of lier life, slept 20 hours out of every 24, and took pride in it. i In the model nursery was a little wire inclosure, or baby corral, so to speak, fitted up with cushions and playthings. The idea was to put the baby into the corral, say "There you are!" and leave it to amuse itself, or sleep, in its judgment it thought best. The consensus of opinion of the mothers was that the less a baby is handled and dandled the better. Then there was a steaming tent for croup-for even the modelest kind of a model baby has croup sometimes and there were obther contraptions for treating ailing babies without thc use of medicine. No sick babies were ex hibited, bu ..-e mothers who were ex perienced until in saying that every baby with ordinary common sense pre ferred to get aloi;g without taking me dicine. Baby's aesthetic tastes were con sulted also in fitting up the model nursery, and only the best engravings and aquarelles were allowed ro hang on the walls. There were growing plants in thc windows and a singing bird and a globe of goldfish. The baby was to be encouraged to feed the gold fish daily, of course, avoiding giving them shoe buttons, safety pins and other articles which migut min the pistcatorial digestion. The wdiolc scheme of the model nur sery was to make the babies comfort able, happy and healthy. No baby in ! a model nursery must oe forced, or even led, but must be free to paddle its own canoe, as it were, along thc ! lines of least resistance. Thc model, nursery was voted an j enormous success and showed to i crowded houses from the start.-New '. iork World. FeRWofA/,:* BENEFIT Sailor collars are as good a's ever. Wool embroidery shows well on filet net. Every sort of crepe is the top of the vogue. Seams are herring-bone stitched to gether. Smart little pointed straps are dec orative. White linen and pique drcssses are \ to be features. Ribbon embroidery is one of the ' pretty "latests." The smartest linen dresses have j parasols to match. No woman is old enough to wear a bonnet these days. CUL jet again sparkles on any wear from hats to boots. Cloth or silk appliques adorn the latests in lace robes. Baroque-headed hat pins make an artistic hat ornament. Tiny crochet buttons are almost as plenty as French dots. Round pearls figure as berries in a gilt-adorned shell comb. Paris muslin is a cross between or gandie and finest batiste. Embroideries come for the narrow louis XV waistcoat, eff--cts. Buttons with dangling pendants are more for ornament than use. Little tucks in sun-ray effect are here and there on fine frocks. Heavily shined hip parts for skirts are only for the very slender. Black and ecru lace appliques are a stunning feature of some gowns. Black and white hats (just a touch of black) make ideal summer head gear. In case of black footgear the black and white polka dot stocking makes a pleasing link. A cluster of fine tucks is the best trimming for a fiann flounce of crepe de chine or kindred fabric. ISLAND OF ST. VINCENT. THE BRITISH POSSESSION DEVASTA TED BY A VOLCANO. It lu Divided by ? .Mountain Ridge - Its 1'opvlatluM Almost Wholly KUTHI - Kl II i;xton tho CMpitMl nnd Trading Cen tre-I'rovlutis Outbreak of La Soafriere. From the information received it would seem that the present volcanic eruption on the island of St Vincent is almost exactly a counterpart of that of 1812, heretofore the greatest event in the history of the island, ihe next in importance to it and in havoc wrought being the terrie hurricane which on the 11th of September, 1898, swept from Barbadoes across the Windward Islands, making St. Vincent its chief victim, although our own Porto Rico suffered severely. A ridge of mountains crosses the island, dividing it into eastern and western parts. ' Kingstown, tho capi tal, a town of 8,000 inhabitants, is on the southward side and stretching along the shores of a beautiful bay, with mountains gradually rising be hind it in the form of a vast amp.ii theatre. Three streets, broad and lined with good houses, run parallel to the waterfront. There are many other interesting highways, some of winch lead back to the foothills, from wnica good roads ascend the 'moun tains. The majority of the houses have red tile roofing and a goodly number of them are of stone, one story nigh, with thick walls after the Spanish style-the same types of houses that were in St. Pierre and which are not unlike the old Roman houses which in all stages of ruin and semi-preser vation are found in Pompeii to this day. Behind the great mass of the houses of the town looms the governor's resi dence and the buildings of the botani cal gardens overlooking the town. Kingstown is the trailing center and the one town of importance in the island. It contains thc churches and chapels of five Protestant denomina tions and a number of excellent schools. Away from Kingstown the population is almost wholly rural, oc cupying scattered villages which con sist of negro huts clustering around a few substantial buildings or of cabins grouped about old plantation buildings, somewhat after the ante-bellum fash ion in our own Southern states. Thc entire population of tho island Is about 43,000, of whom 30,000 are Africans and about 3,000 Europeans, the rest being made up of Asiatics with a sprinkling of mixed Caribs. The negroes in many cases arc land own ers, and arrow root, since the decay of tho sugar industry now all but extinct, is the chief export. In an islund only eighteen miles long by eleven broad there is not room for any distinctly marked moun tain- range. The whole of St. Vincent in fact is a fantastic jumble of hills, culminating in the volcanic ridge which runs lengthwise of the oval shaped island. Beautiful valleys at various points, in fact, intersect this ridge. The culminating peak of the g'cat volcanic mass, lor St. Vincent is nothing more, is thc Morne Garou, of which La Soufri?re is a sort of lofty excresence in the northwest and flanking the main peak at some dis tance away. It may be said that all of the vol canic mountains in this part of the West Indies have what the people call a "soufri?re"-a "sulphur pit," ur "sul phur crater"-thc name coming, as in the case of past disturbances of Mont Pelee, Martinique, from thc strong stench of sulphuretted hydrogen which issues from them when the vol cano becomes agitated. In 1S12 it was La Soufri?re adja cent to the Morne Garou which broke loose on the island of St. Vincent and it is thc same Soufri?re which now has devastated the island and is bom barding Kingstown with rocks, lava and ashes. Thc old crater of Morne Garou has long been extinct, and, like the old crater of Mont Pelee, near St. Pierre, ft had f-r down in its depths, sur rounded by sheer cliffs from 500 to 800 feet high, a lake. Glimpses of the lake of Morne Garou were difficult to get, owing to the thick verdure growing about the dangerous edges of thc precipices, but those who have seen it describe it af a beautiful sheet of deep blue wa ter. Despatches from Barbadoes, 100 miles to the east of St. Vincent, stat ed that the explosions and mighty volcanic cannonading at St. Vincent were distinctly beard lhere, that the sky was black with the great mass of smoke and dust hanging overhead and the entire surface of the Barbadoes was covered with a thick coating of ashes. This is precisely a repetition of what happened at the time of the temible St. Vincent eruption in 1812. What amazed people then Was that ibis smoke and the great dense clouds of ashes and impalpable dust should be borne so far seaward in the very teeth of thc strong trade winds which blow toward the southwest. The ex planation of this phenomenon was then, as it is now, that the force of the explosion, from the volcano hurled the smoke and litter miles high into the air until they were way above the trade winds and there met the reverse air currents going in thc opposite di rection. Barbadoes is totally dissimilar in its natural features to any of the volcan ic chain of the Caribbean Islands. It resembles a pear in outline, with thc narrow end pointing to thc north, and is slightly concave on the east. In configuration the island is elevated, and yet not mountainous, the highest point, near the center, Mount Hillaby, being 1.100 feet, from which the land descends in a series of low terraces on all sides to the sea. Thc aspect of the country is that of a beautiful rural landscape inter spersed with groups of neat houses and plantations surrounded by gar dent; and trees and dotted here and there with windmills, which resemble those that are so marked a feature of the landscape of Holland. The whole area of thc island is oc cupied and of its total acreage of 10G.470 every foot is under cultivation except 0,470 acres occupied by towns, cliffs and highways. Almost its sole industry is sugar cane growing, and it has been said that If Cuba were as closely cultivated as Barbadoes it would produce enough sugar to supply the entire world. The only foreign trip George Wash ington ever made was to Barbadoes, when he went there with his brother, Lawrence, and among other adven tures caught the smallpox.-New York Sun.

All persons, especially parents, -who have the good of the coming genera tion at heart will, no doubt, be in terested in what Mrs. S. L. Oberholt zer has to say on tho subject of school savings banks. Mrs. Oberholtzer, who is well known among the local women workers, has devoted several years to the study of that institution, and has traveled considerably to promote its progress, her addresses being inva riably received with favor. After a most interesting interview with Mrs. Oberholtzer one can but marvel that this admirable idea is not in opera tion in every school in our country. "Inclination and genius are inherit ed, but character and fortune are made," says Mrs. Qberh?ltzer? "The subject of school savings banks ls one of great national interest, because as we develop in thrift and individuality the wealth and strength of the nation increases. In europe it is admittedly ono of the best educational factors of the agc, but here in our own city, though Superintendent Brooks has ex pressed himself in favor of it, there are enough dissenting voices to hinder the plan." The school savings banks system, which was introduced into vais coun try by Professor F. H. Thiry, in 1885,. is now in operation in more than 800 public -schools in the United States, while tho total savings of these young depositors nave amountod to $900,000. Those schools arc scattered through 20 different states. The work was firic taken up in Long Island City, N. Y., public schools in 1S85, and ever finco 18S9 (by this time it. had proved its worth) tne system has gained im petus and advocates. It is in opera tion in lfiO Pennsylvania schools. Thoso pioneer children of Long Island City have saved and deposited sinco 1S85, $119.8S0. At instance, nearer at hand is our neighboring Chester, v/hore, with a school population of 5000, there has been deposited since 1890, $03,516. To Montgomery county, however, be longs thc honor of adopting tho sys tem in this state. Mrs. Oberholtzer, then a resident of Norristown, became interested and made an address before the Teachers' Institute in tne fall of 18S9. A resolution was passed to adopt the system in the schools at the option of the districts of tlie Norris town and Pottstown public schools, and thc children of Norristown have, since January, 1900, deposited $S7,237, the school children of Pottstown fol lowing with $67,647.' These few iigurcs will give one an idea of the money which may bc saved instead of frittered away on cheap candies, dis gusting gum and other stupid or harm ful temptations. It is all very simple. The teacher is provided with thc roll books and the copyright cards. She calls the roll every Monday morning from this roll book, which is conveniently arranged, with a date for each Monday in the school year, and places the amount of thc scholar's deposit, be it one or ten cents, opposite his or her name. The amount is also credited on the copy right card, which is then handed back to the pupil, who keeps it as a memo randum and receipt. This card is brought to school every Monday morn ing, when a deposit is made. After the roll-call the teacher counts the money, and sends it in a sealed en A e lope to the principal of the school, who in turn forivt>rrlc f^>~ onvnlnno^; collections from all the rooms to the bank co-operating. At first thc amount is accredited as a general school fund. When a deposit reaches $1 thc deposit or is individualized and receives a bank book, and once the sum of $3 is deposited it draws three percent in terest. On the last Friday of each month the children are given their bank books to take home, so that they may compare them with thc cards. Many parents themselves oijcn bank ac counts. Camden's public school scholars. 499 in number, have deposit ed $65,384 since 1895. Figure to yourseu just how well It would be for the average youth or maiden, upon being graduated, to have a few hundred dollars in bank. It would in some instances open the way to further study; it would give the budding merchant a needed lift; to others it would be the nucleus of a hone and independent old age. But, best of all, it is a remedy against pau perism, and acts as a preventive to crime and intemperance. It fosters thrift, economy, industry, self-depend ence, and produces self-respecting citi zens. No matter what the home con dition, a child sees a way "to more content and less contention" in this saving of pennies that tho dollars may have the chance" to look after them selves. In case of sickness, too, or other misfortune, it is convenient to have a reserve fund to draw upon. Philadelphia Record. Til? Hairpin In Sclnnci*. A scientific writer in American Medicine pays a glowing tribute to the hairpin. He finds that it is of almost inestimable value to thc surgeon, who can use it "to pin bandages, to re move foreign bodies from any natural passage, as a curette for scraping away soft material, to compress a blood ves sel in controlling a hemorrhage, and to close a wound." In addition to these uses thc gentleman has used the hair pin to prone wounds and to wire bones together in cases of fracture. But it is not in surgery only that the hairpin is useful. It may take the place of a suspender button or help out when an automobile breaks down. Perhaps if the truth were known many a loco motive has been held together, at a pinch, by a hairpin, and we are no! surprised that the writer for American Medicine suggests that it would al ways be well for man to c.rrry a sup ply of hairpins in his pocket. Such a practice would undoubtedly have im portant advantages, but there is a bet ter and more pleasant plan. If it could be so arranged that a man might al ways have at least one companionable lat?.? near him tho highest usefulness of i hairpin might be developed.

Cleanliness arid health go hand iii band, whether cleanliness and godliness do or noL The way to keep ? hitched Cleah is to keep it free from disease germs; that is, to keep our food which is cooked in the kitchen free from un wholesome elements, which cause it to spoil and to be unwholesome when eaten. Tho clothes we wear should be brush ed free from dust, because the air is full of impure geims. Those who wore in dirty, dusty factories or other places like them should have their clothes beaten every day after they come home. Grease spots should bo care fully oleanec" oft working clothes, be cause such grease spots hold dust, and may become culture places for impur ities received from th<* air. If proper precautions are exercised and the nouse is kept as clean as it is possible to keep it the health of the inmates will be good. There ls a great difference between a thing being scientifically clean and clean in the ordinary understanding of the term. A house filled with thc germs of tuberculosis may be clean to all appearances, and one which has just been disinfected scientifically may have Indelible stains oe previous wear, and tear on the walls and carpets; yet one is a wholesome dwelling and the other is not clean.-New York Tribune.
