CAMPAIGN CLUB OUTFITS. !How to Coatame an Up’to-Date Polit ical Oriranizution. Political clubs are the pride of those who belong to them and the envy and admiration of those who view them. To manage a campaign club takes the skill of a Napoleon. But before tho Napoleonic era comes that of tbe Roths child. The wherewithal and the how- withal to fight Then the conflict! In getting np a campaign clnb the rooms tako care of themselves. A friendly nook always opens Itself, and there unite the forces that are to con quer the opposing elements In the neighborhood. The Initial step Is the uniforming. A warrior must be armed cap-a-ple before he goes out to meet even the curlons small boys that hang around the doors. To dress a campaign warrior Is a matter of price and endeavor with the committee having the dressing in hand. Manufacturers have been busy for mouths getting ready to meet these committees, and shop windows are as luminous at night as the transparen- cies they offer. A battle ax, a gun and a transparency may be enough for a boys’ club, but men want more elaborate equipment. They must be (dreased from peak to toe. Uniforms of all styles are made for them, and to ask the price of them is to set a clerk rattling off prices as though a handle had been lifted from a phonographic machine. The most extensive political uniform outfit can be purchased for $7. This Is a very expensive outfit, and is bought only by gilt-edged dubs with either k fashionable neighborhood to parade tr a woman’s auxiliary dub to ad mire. A complete ontflt of an expens ive suit in a Prince Albert coat, a pair of trousers, a belt, a lantern, a battle ax, a shako and legglns. Of these the Prince Albert costs |3; the tronsers $1.50, made either of white duck or Ifelt of any color; tbe belt, of white canvas, Is 25 cents; the white duck leg- gins 25 cents, and the shako, |1.25. The remainder goes for torch and battle A cheaper uniform, and one that looks almost as good, comes within $1.15. There Is a helmet costing 80 cents, a belt, a gun charged with a flag upon the end, and a flannel shirt The last Is stamped with the name am) face of the candidate. “Vote for A.” !A cap, a cape of oil cloth In any color, are small white duck caps that cost )5 cents. Oilcloth ones in colors can be purchased^ for 25 cents, and so up to fairly good quality NE of the leading events in Europe next summer will be the great Scandinavian Ex position, which opens in Stockholm, Sweden, next May, tc con tinue until October. For almost the first time in history the four northern countries—Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland—speaking in part a com mon language and having for over fif teen centuries been historically con nected, both as allies and foes, having a close relationship in the folk-lore, Eugene, Duke of Nerike, tbe young- son of King Oscar, himself a prominent landscape painter, is the chief of the art section, and recently, rhile in Paris he met some oi the most FASHION FANCIES.

The distinguishing trait of tho Scandinavian character in reflection, and the idea of this exposition, the greatest and most complete ever planned in any European country, with the exception of the Paris ex positions, has required more than & of jthe fur shako (or 75 cents. Makers of uniforms say there Is no csll for good materials. The cam paigners want a great deal for the money, but they do not ask for endur ing things. They want them for night ly appearance for three months, but after November they will be hung up In the archives of the clubs or thrown to the boys for city elections. The cost of getting up a campaign club Is so small that It Is practically nothing. A collection will Inaugurate the move ment A ten-cent cap, a ten-cent dou ble swinging torch and a flfteen-cent oilcloth cape set the ball rolling gayly. There lives no man with political soul so dead that ho has never Joined a campaign club, and this year the low price of uniforms brings the political club within the range of all who feel the spark of marching patriotism.

The Prince is Bry democratic in his manners and stes, and, while he may visit New- >rt, he will expect to be received ily as a private gentleman, frownin all attempts to make fuss am lathers of his royal rank. The exposition will also have a po etical significance, as next year King ir will celebrate the twenty-fifth iniversary of his reign as ruler of reden. The jubilee will be the oc- lion of a grand demonstration on the of the Swedes, and also by the jyal families cf Europe, who have all fgnifled their intention to visit toekholm daring the jubilee period. King Oscar has, of course, taken a peat interest in the exposition, both an artist and as the ruler of the iuntry. As Director-General of the (position, the King appointed Mr rthnr Leffler, the royal Swedish Oom- lissioner to the World’s Fair. The resident of the exposition is Baron imm, the Governor-General of )ockholm, and the Secretary is the ill known journaliat, Thore Blanche. | In the United States thousands of redes are making arrangements to lit Sweden daring the exposition. ^ the societies going over, the most iportant will be tbe Amarican Union i Swedish Singers, of which Lyran, New York, and the Glee Club, of loklyn, arw protaiuent members.

Mwaan.i idifnr oiHic'8«adiab.Pfl W » OT all tbe composite girls of the season, writes Margary Daw, of the New York Press, have the broad hats, the full neck ruching, the low twisted hair, but each charmer affects one, or an other of these fancies, and the charmer is as you see. In detail, the chapeau which I should think even a wild Indian would recog nise to be modish, is of shrimp pink, fine chip. Its trimmings are white moline over shrimp pink moline, knotted and twisted, to encircle the crown. Two mercury wings sre caught j lightly to the crown on either side at the front. And white bird|of paradise tails flutter a-down the crown and brim at either side. The cache -pciguo is of white roses without foliage, but aboundiug iu tender pinkish buds. The bird of paradise craze is devel oping rapidly. Women who care at all if they are the cause of inflicting cruel deaths in the feat 1 er kingdom will refuse to wear them, and alljother dead birds. But many women do not mind at all; others will not take the trouble to find it out. According to advance hints, the next is to be a “feather” season unless we, of the bonnet wearing sex, refuse to decorate ourselves with little corpses. True, these already are upon the counters, and those which yet will be placed therefor the fall trade are just as dead as though no one, for humane reasons, refused to buy them. But never in the world’s history would an other songster be slaughtered for dec orating women’s hair if tke fair sex should refuse to yield their lovely heads for burial purposes.

THIS MAN FEET TALL. theatre in Vienna, has been pro nounced by the anatomists of the Vi enna University, with Dr. Zucker- ksndl at their head, the largest man of whose size there was a scientific record. Especial weight is given to this declaration of the Vienna profes sors because the Vienna Anatomical Museum possesses tbe largest human skeletons, and the founder of this in stitution, the late Hofrath Danger, and his successor, Dr. Zuckerkandl, sre considered the highest authorities on the subject of giants. They pro nounced Mr. Wilkins remarkable, not only on account of bis great size, but also because bis development is en tirely normal, while, as a rule, giants are not well proportioned and they of ten suffer from some weakness. In parting the professors told him that if he would examine the skeletons of the museum he would soon bo convinced of his own superiority. The horrors of the grave need never worry him, for, unless he makes special provision against it, his skeleton is most certain ly destined to ornament some anatom ical museum. He is eight feet tall, and our engraving gives a very good idea of his height, for here he is shown standing beside his impresario, a man five feet ten inches tall. Buds are used, but leaves are not in this new fashion. A high knot of taffeta ribbon emphasizing the tone in the flowers which tbe wearer wants to bring out is placed at the front or side back. And there are cache-peigues or more of the roses. Sailors thus decorated are for demi- toilet use. It There are now 23,099 medical men in Germany, the increase during the past eight years being thirty-seven per cent, as compared with twelve per cent, in the population. VEILS THAT ABE FASHIONABLE. is dow considered necessary to wear a veil on all occasions, and to be really chic two should be worn—one 'of dotted net, white oi black, put on close to tbe face, and another of chif fon or mousseline, put on loosely around tbe h it and bunging iu waving folds. At present the plain brown is considered the i-mimest of all, but there are mans pietty variet es in dark bine with tbe embroidered dot. There aie also cbiffoL veils iu the dark colors which have white or black chenille dots, and tbe plain white or black net wiih tbe dots also are equally fashion able. The sheer veils without dots save the skin loinewoat from the dust and sunburn, an 1 they are made thin enough not to be very warm, while the fu>hiou of pinning them loosely t«-so helps to make it possible to wear them iu tbe very hot weather. Red lace veils' are occasionally seen worn on tbe broad shade bats—the old lash- .oned tambour luces so fashionable many years ago. Many of these are heirlooms, and have that soft yellowish color that old lace carefully packed away for years possesses, and which it is impossible to get by any artificial coloring.—Harper’s Bazar. net, tobacco brown, dove gray, steal, dull red, and, occasionally, black. In tbe rough cloths navy blue, hunter’s green, golden brown and black are noticed. The autumn coat is both made and trimmed simply. Strapped seams, although a few are seen, ar» not given the seal of approval by the best tailors. Large buttons, of smoked pearl or gutta perch a, are used for the actual purpose of fastening, but on the plain cloth jackets few fancy but tons arc noted. —Ladies’Home Journal.
