Plnkham's Advice-A Woman Best Understands a Woman’s His. Three Things ia Consider In Buying a Stove or Range ft QUALITY, ECONOMY AND PRICE. wmmMmMammmmmmzizijk First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soou crack —it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and yoa are dissatisfied. Second—The Rauge or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes through uu necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then your fuel bill is too hea/y aud you are not satisfied. Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the article sold for the fewest dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it isn’t cheap at auy price, ^tsjiotowhai^oupavfo^j^touigtoialcmrnts^its^whji^um get for your money.

All sorts and sizes of checks in the greatest va riety of fabrics. The smartest are what is known as over-plaids, i. e., lines crossing at right angles over the body color of the fabric constitute the check. Parisians Affectinq Stripes. In Paris stripes lead among the neo- ple who make styles, and no doubt later we will have stripes adopted here, bub for the present checks are in greatest favor. For raid-season suits and for traveling and auto wraps the rough woven Burlinghams are both modish and durable. While light er weight silks are desired for cos tumes the Rajahs are used. The’- have a homespun weave, like the Burling- ham. but are not so heavy. Thanks are due the McCall company, makers and designers of fashion, for the handsome illustration shown above.

Yes, the south, that sweet, blessed land below Mason and Dixon’s line, i- sunny. It is. it is. While the lumi nous heavenly orb is contrary, at tin es, its smile will not come off the hearts of the good folk who in the dav« when General Sherman’s “bum mers" wer» marching in array as dis orderly as that of the rodents which followed the nied Piper of Hamelin. were assured that the country was as desolate as the popy-strt .»u Roman Campagna. The curious traveler from the north who expects to find the people of the south in the easy-going condition which prevailed during ante-bellum days, will realize his mistake from the moment that- he catches his first breath of pure southern air. While an occasional colonel—as imposing in broadcloth and broad-brimmed hat as a gentleman of France in the Third Empire—saunters past some fine man- si::!! whore roses and bees and doves and a few aged blacks keep in mind the days when master and slave were on better terms than William Lloyd Garrison and Mrs. Stowe renresented; while a lazy white or ne’er-do-well ne gro lounzes near the store of some ( tide rent the fact that, the malority of the people of the south are hust lin'.’: for a share ot the prosperity which comes through progressive bus iness cannot be overlooked.

The mockingbird may sing whije swinging among the branches of the umbrageous magno lia and the black, whose nature is as that of the child, may interpret a ragtime selection'; but the white folk are not now giving thought to “de satin ribbon tied around the crown, a large rosette at one side, and stream ers at the back. A rather small shape in Leghorn, turned up at one side, and with a Derby crown, is appropriate to young persons, and the small high- crowned sailor, trimmed with a chif fon scarf (also in Leghorn or chip) Is very graceful. Neapolitan Weaves ar» by no means passe and are es pecially adapted to the curved brim, which is too becoming to be relin quished. The high crown (the Derby) is a special feature this season, and sometimes appears in pale-hued satin, with a brim of chip. It is said that maidenhair ferns will supersede the rose leaf foliage, so long in vogue. Soft ribbons will be very largely em ployed, massed under the brim and falling in long loops and ends.

What is causing that rumblin®' ami clamoring, that heavy smoke in the heavens, which otherwise are as bright as the areial banners which float above the rose-embowered drives of the Florentine paradise, San Mini- atu? The sound sends memory back to the days when Stonewall Jackson was fiercely assailing Hooker in the Wilderness.
