' A thorough outfit for a season at a fashionable watering-place requires, in our climate. to be quite elaborate, for there must be gowns for cool as well as hot days. Bule serge is a material which comes. into fashion every year. Of course there are many different weaves of it, as well as different color- ings, but a blue serge gown is con- we publish to-day, taken from Harper’s Weille, is in the bluet shade.

The weapon was as [rightful an implement as you would rare to see, and the girls, of course, were delighted with it. “Can’t you fancy," said the proud possessor, “as you look at this rude knife, how some heroic Cuban work- man in the fastness of the Cuban hills forged this weapon to fight for his country and his home? Can’t you fancy him beating prayers into the steel?” “I could,” remarked one of the oth- er girls, “if it weren’t for one thing." K. “What’s that,” asked everybody. The matter-of-fact girl pointed to a small and inconspicuous label pasted co the blade. “Made In Hartford, 001111.,” it read—Washington Post. 'l’HE CANON OF THE v'E'LLOWsTON E.

It Is about twenty miles long and a thousand feet deep—a weird, unearth- ly looking gorge of jagged, fantastic irchitecture. and most brilliantly col~ ared. It is not the depth or shape of the canon, nor the waterfalls, nor the green and gray river chanting its crave song as it goes foaming on its way that most impresses the observer, out the colors of the decomposed vol- t-anic rocks. With few exceptions, the traveler in strange lands finds that however much the scenery and vegetation in different countries may :hauge, Mother Earth is ever familiar and the same. But here the very ground is changed, as ifbelonging to some other world.
