HEROES IN FHA3IES.

HOW TO MOUNT THE PHOTOGRAPH OF YOUR SOLDIER LAD.

Some Novel and Patriotic Designs Which Breathe the Martial Spirit—They Can Be Readily Manufactured at Home by

Ingenious Finger*.

[Copyright, 1898, by American Press Association.] Before the opening of the war various church schemes and philanthropic objects enlisted the sympathies of our women generally and occupied their spare moments. Since then, however, a new trend has been given to their thoughts, and a project that courts popular support now must have a decided-, ly military flavor. This phase of feminine feeling is not, like so many others,

DESIGN FOR MARTIAL PHOTOGRAPH FRAMES.

largely limited to the cities and towns, where loisuro and wealth permit so many women to indulge their pet fanoios. Thero is perhnps not a village today in the Unitod Statos that is not interested in patriotic schemes for raising funds to minister to the wants of the men who are so gallantly fighting the battles of their country.

Bazaars and fairs have the favorite means used for securing this object, and a patriotic public never fails to respond to this call for aid. At these social functions usually every idea that can be given a martial suggestion is utilized, but niilitury photograph frames seem to be the most popular and salable. At a New York fair recently held the ladies having charge of the affair supplied themselves with a largo store of photographs of war heroes, such as Admiral Dewey, Acting Rear Admiral Sampson, Commodore Schley, Lieutenant Itobson, Cadet Powell, Captain Henry H. Whitney, Lieutenant Rowan, Ensign Ungley, Lieutenant Bernadou and tho other heroes of the war, to say nothing of a line liue of photographs of the most distinguished officers of the regular army and navy. These woro mounted in gorgeous rod, white and blue military frames.

As women who havo heroes at the front may liko to make special frames for the precious pictures of their own soldier boys or even to contribute some to the stock at the fancy booths at military fairs some suggestions may be helpful when based upon the experience of others. 1 he most salable of all is the drum frame. A toy drum of one of tho smallest sizes is selected and may bo treated in several ways. One frame is made by placing the photographs between the strings of the drum. Ribbons in the three national colors take the place of the strings, the lower part of the cardboard of tho photograph being bordered with ribbons and the corners finished with neat bows of red, white and bluo ribbon. Tho tiny string to hang the drum is of red, white aud bluo ribbon and finished at the sides of the drum aud in the center of tho loop by jaunty bows of ribbon.

The canteen frame is another pretty device. The old fashioned canteen can bo covered with .silk, leaving an oval space for the photograph. The silk is preferably dark blue, with white stars embroidered or printed upon it.

Fatigue military caps can be converted into very appropriate frames. The photograph is mounted in the center of tho top. An oval bound with ribbon incloses the frame, which is then hung upon the wall to display the photograph 1 to advantage.

A square piece of cardboard may be covered with one of the little silk flags which can be bought for a dime in any shop. A piece of white canvas is laid over the flag to rvpreseut a tent. Be-

fcween the miniature tent flaps a photo-1 dark indigo, her soft satin ribbon col graph is placed. Four of the tov bayonets which can

be bought at any toy store, when laid to to front is of still another shade. form an oblique square and tied with Hats for the seashore should oe os ribbon in the national colors, make an «och kind as resists dampness. No appropriate frame for a photograph feathers to look like bedraggled roosters, which has been covered with glass and hot crisp taffetas and the waxy leaved simply bound with white leather.

A dainty frame is made by placingi Us© photograph beneath one of the white paper pads especially prepared for mounting photographs and obtainable] at any picture store. The back of the photograph is covered with cardboard.

while a piece of glam which the paint of the glories to come in the new fall man will cut into the required and oil shape is fixed over the face. A wreath of laurel may then, if desired, be placed about the photograph. Beneath tbe wreath two toy cannons, unmounted, may fee crossed. A sHk thread is tied about the musilc* tod the breeches of the to bold tilem in place.

SEASIDE FASHIONS.

Henriette Ronsseau Discovers That o«*4 People Can Dress Well.

When lovely woman reaches Asbury "Park, a wonderful change comes over her. One may be dashing and brilliant at Newport, naval and natatorial at Narragansett and Long Branch, languishing and diaphanous at Saratoga and many other things at other places, I all of them seductive, but when the lovely woman reaches Asbury it is quite

another thing. She wears few frizzles, few flounces and no fluttering ribbons with their reprehensible enticements to bewilder and dazzle the masculine brain. No, indeed. She is demurely sweet, with a soft and solemn look in the dreamy, religious eyes. While she dresses as befits the gentlewoman of today she eschews most of the vanities and looks the sweet, absurd little saint she is.

The atmosphere of the place sheds its benison over all, and the butterfly somehow changes- by some magical metamorphosis and becomes a "dove in its nest," with soft brooding tones in its more serious conversation. In no place does the influence of the surroundings seem more marked. It is but a step from Asbury Park to the cool shade of the pine trees of Ocean Grove, and that plage we all know is one of the little outposts of heaven. Asbury Park is the link connecting the worldly world with this little spot where peace abides and the weary soul may rest. The pines whisper above your head, and the soft "flisvos" of the waves lulls one to a sleep almost as precious as that of death.

Asbury Park has been so much laughed at that it is a wonder that any one ever wants to go there. Its founder, Mr. James A. Bradley, has been called "crank" perhaps 10,000,000 times, but he has kept on with a dogged persistence that has won the esteem of all who have ever known him or who have visited Asbury Park. There is a contingent whose taste runs in quiet channels and who find that pretty village—or city— to be an ideal summer resort, and these are among our very best and most intelligent citizens—people who do not rush abroad to spend their money for the benefit of countries who turn a oold shoulder when we have any trouble. These are refined, educated people, and they know how to find amusement and pleasure in simple, healthful ways.

One can educate oneself to long for opera or opera bouffe every night and not be happy without it, and others can extract just as many hours of as keen pleasure from a well contested game of checkers or dominos. There are lovely rides, boating parties, fishing parties, music, bathing, dancing and no end of social intercourse among people of con genial tastes, and if one should happen to get a glass of soda water drawn with too much gas in it, why, all one has to do is to cross the little bridge to Ocean Grove and all its reprehensible sparkle evaporates at once and the old sweet peace that passeth the understanding returns.

So much has been said about Mr. Bradley, the founder and prime manager of Asbury, that few have ever

heard of Mrs. Bradley, and yet she is a woman worth knowing and knowing about. Her quiet manners cover a very strong and individual character and there is nothing going on in the world of note that she is not posted in. And she is also very pretty. If Asbury Park owes its beneficial vf stringent rules to Mr. Bradley, it owes much of its beauty to the quiet influence of Mrs. Bradley.

All this is forgetting the fashions. Thero are fashionable gowns worn there, too, let me say. Religion, art and literature dress well in these days and do not go stalking about in unkempt disarray. The blue eyed lady on the porch, the beach, the board walk or in the pavilion wears her crisp blue and white taffeta with* its sweeping tunic flounce with as much grace as her sister or cousin in Newport and looks quite as dainty too. Her blouse is trimmed with applique of white lace and has a vest of cream lace. Three shades of blue are blended in her costume. Her belt is of

lar of blue several shades lighter, and the quilling of silk down 'the opening

flowers in their places. In fact* everything should be worn with an understanding of the injurious salt sea air.

The lovely maiden at Asbury may look with unseeing eyes at the waves rushing up like so many white dogs to bite the patient shore And be dreaming

bonnets aud hats. Eh bien! There will bo pokes, coal scuttles, scoops and shovel noses. Those are the names they were known by many, many years ago.

And Gainsborough* aad cavaliers also. They will be tarimir^ a l:"le different, bat pretty faces viJ lo—* pretty to them, ami that is all we require anyway. Hje.vrikttk Rousseau.

A RED CROSS SISTER. JACKETS

MRS. LESSER, WHO FOUGHT YELLOW "JACK ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

Career of the Noted Norse Who Went to Cuba With Her Husband and Suffered From the Fever. While .Doing Heroic

Work.

[Copyright. 1S98, by American Press Association. 1 Among the most prominent of the humane women who have gone to. the front to attend the wounded and the sick soldiers must be included the name of Mrs. Bettina Hofker Lesser. This de voted lady is the wife of Dr. Lesser, surgeon in chief of the Red Cross association. Mrs. Lesser, or Sister Bettina as she is called by rough riders, has di rect charge of all the women who attend to the injuries and other ailments of our soldiers in the battlefield.

In $88 Miss Hofker, as she then was, became greatly interested in the poor of New York city and devoted a portion of each day to ministering to the sick in their tenement homes. In order to fit herself more thoroughly for this charitable work she entered Mount Sinai Training School For Nurses in that city, from which she graduated with distino-

MRS. LESSEK.

lion. Miss Hofker then became interest ed in Red Cross worL/and was the first to suggest that a hospital and training school for Red Cross sisters should be established. The idea was received with favor and shortly such an institution was opened in New York. Dr. Lesser was one of the staff of the new hospital, and having been long attached to Miss Kofker he not only prevailed upon her to associate herself with him in his Red Cross work, but also induced her to become his wife.

Soon after the landing of the troops at Baiquiri she and her husband arrived there. After the battle of Santiago Mrs. Lesser and other Red Cross sisters assisted the surgeons in dressing th6 wounds of the injured soldiers. They worked unremittingly for 24 hours, only resting for a moment to take a cup of coffee. Subsequently both she and Dr. Lesser contracted yellow fever, from which they have since fully recovered.

The family of Colonel Kopper of New York furnishes an example of the patriotic fervor that prevails among all classes of the community. The Kopper family are now practically all employed in the service of their country but one son. The colonel and his youngest son are at the front, and his two daughters have been accepted as volunteer nurses. After their father and brother had gone to the war Miss E. Caroline Kopper and Miss Minna A. Kopper also determined to do what they could in the only sphere of active duty open to them in connection with the army. The Red Cross work appealed to their sympa thies, and they at once volunteered as assistant nurses. They passed the necessary examination without difficulty and were notified to be ready for a call to proceed to the active scene of warfare.

The young ladies' aunt, Miss Sarah Jenkins, as she could not go to the front, determined to do what she could. She began active work with the woman's relief corps of the Seventy-first New York regiment and is the chairman of the finance committee of the corps.

Miss Delia Weeks, special nurse, Iowa volunteers, is the only woman volunteer nurse that has gone to Manila to attend our sick and wounded soldiers. She has been a trained nurse for ten years and has lived all her life in Des Moines. She knows every one of the soldier lads in the Iowa regiment. When they were ordered to the front, she applied to the government for an appointment as nurse to accompany them. Official red tape kept the application on file till the regiment left home. Then the citizens of Des Moines arose as one man to take a hand in the matter. A purse of $500 was raised in one day to equip Miss Weeks for the journey, and the next day the citizens escorted her to the overland train and sent her flying after the regiment on its way to San Francisco. She was ordered by them not to leave the boys till they returned from the war. All her expenses are paid, and all she has to do is to care for the sick and the thousand and one little duties a good woman can find to do in a soldiers' tamp.

Previous to the recent sailing of tbe hospital ship Resolute from New York for Santiago candidates for enlistment as immune nurses were examined at the New York Red Cross hospital. There were quite a number of young women applicants, all prepared to risk the dangers from yellow fever and give their services without any remuneration whatever.

There were 60 applicants altogether, male and female, the former being examined by Dr. George P.. Shrady and the latter by Mrs. Shrady. Of the entire number but seven men and one woman (Mrs. G. L. Campbell) were accepted. The young women who crowded about Mrs. Shrady, happy in tbe expectation and hope of successfully pasting tho ordeal, went away, all but one, keenly disappointed and disheartened at their failure.

AND CAPES.

Prevailing Fashions In Women's

Apparel

r-~ For Early Fall. TSpecial Correspondence.]

Newport, R. I., Aug. 15.—We are now seeing the last days of summer, and for once I am glad of it. I long to think of something else than icebergs and sea breezes and other impossible delights. I could forget the suffocating heat perhaps if I looked at a ton or so of fur garments nearly ready now for winter wear. But it will be two weeks' more before the furriers will be ready to show their new things, and the winter clothes have not got beyond the importer's hands yet. So to relieve my mind I will tell of the faW wraps as they will be shown to an admiring public the second week in September. A blizzard would not hasten the display by an hour so conservative are the manufacturers. .. Jackets somewhat in the blazer shape have proved so useful and so popular that they are revived again, with no appreciable difference between the new and those of last season, only the most of the new ones are double breasted and have six and eight large bone buttons.

Where these jackets are made to match a skirt in tailor costume the seams are arranged so that those in jacket and skirt come exactly opposite each other. The darts and side and back seams would appear like one seam were it not for the dividing line. The effect is peculiarly pleasing. Some of the tailor jackets are very odd, being scalloped all around the bottom and exquisitely tailor finished. The two back portions of the jacket are arranged to extend be low the rest some three or four inches like a little postilion. The very neatest and prettiest of all of the new fail jacket suits are those with a very mannish cutaway coat. This has the two back pieces arranged in the same way as the last mentioned, while the rest is in form of a fitted "skirt" like that to a man's cutaway, only much shorter. In front the coat fastens across the bust with fine smoke pearl buttons, leaving a white vest to be seen at the bottom about five inches. This also shows at the top where the lapels open. The vest and collar are in one and nearly always of white pique. The sleeves are coat shape, slightly full at the top. When one of these jackets fits a trim figure, it leaves nothing to be desired. In one of the new plaids it is handsome. These plaids have a soft tinted ground with quite large blocks formed by single white lines. In gray and white it is elegant. The' new shaped capes grow narrower and narrower, some of them being cut to fit the shoulders and arms closely down to the waist, the only relief being found in tbe shorter center part and the points in front and back. Plaid capes for young ladies will undoubtedly be among the most popular of all wraps for every day. They are longer than they were last year and narrower. Some button straight up, others diagonally. Some have collars and short capes, while others have capuching. Some have sprung flounces all around, headed by a narrow braid, and others havo rows of worsted fringe around the bottom. This fringe should match the colors in tbe goods.

I forgot to mention that the harrow and pointed capes button down to the point with mother of pearl buttons, dark or light, according to tho colors. An evening cape of pure white cashmere had a high medici collar faced with pink velvet. It was lined with pink silk and buttoned as said above.

Tucking will divide honors this fall with smocking. This is an effective or

nam en tat ion and is quite costly enough to be popular. Some very stunning gowns for tbe last days of August show a combination of the two styles of trimming. Many ladies can do this special kind of needlework, and thus have the latest style at little cost. This I saw, too, on numbers of children's garments.

Another pretty fancy is to take a good, solid quality of brnssels net and outline designs through the meshes in black or colored silks. This, worn as a guimpe or as a postiche yoke over any waist, is very dainty and neat. The Bulgarian stitch embroidery in its quaint designs and soft colors is seen on much of the soft woolen canvas which is so useful for house dresses.

One bates to harp upon lace so much,' but there is no way of avoiding mention of what is destined to be so universal a fashion. Laces of every and all de-j

scriptions ere in demand and are seen among tbe newest importations, the favorite being tbe stiff, hard Genoese and Milanese kind. I saw a dress just finished for the gentle and poetic wife of Senator Brice. This had a satin ducheese foundation, with a narrow bias ruffle of the same at the edge of the skirt. Over this was a full skirt of black brnssels net, with silk coin spots worked est it, those at the top being more sparingly scattered. At the bottorn it was scalloped heavily broidery silk.

Comedy Off the Stage.

It was only a byplay at the theater the other evening, but it was entertaining to a limited portion of the audience.

Behind tho little lady with a diminutive hat that had its chief beauty in its daintiness sat a member of the sex with amazonian proportions and voluble tongue. In a brief intermission of chattering to those about her she happened to look down and espy tbe pretty headgear which was a, clear foot below hev range of vision with the stage. But it was a tempting opportunity. vs "Will you kindly remove your hat?" asked the one in the rear as she leaned forward and spoke in a noisy whisper. "Certainly," answered the one in front as she made rather a vicious plunge for tbe anchoring pin. "I will 'kindly' take off my hat. Will you kindly stop your talking and permit us to hear this play?"

For full five minutes there was unbroken silence, but it was a greater self restraint than tho large woman could endure, aud her annoying whisperings again began. Suddenly the one in front stuck the little hat upon the very summit of her head and pinned it there. It seemed to have grown taller and of greater circumference and looked just like a defiant challenge worked into artistic millinery.

The large woman was too mad to talk, and there was suppressed tittering while those around beamed on the little woman aud were sore tempted to give her a hand by way of applause.— Detroit Fiee Press.

Remenyi Found a "Gaynioos." The late Edouard Remenyi appears to have been the "discoverer" of Johannes Brahms, who was a boy of 19 when the Hungarian violinist found him in Hamburg in 1S58. They went on a concert tour, so the story goes, and fetched up at Weimar almost penniless. Liszt invited Remenyi to stay at the Altenburg. "I have plenty of room for you," he said. "You have perhaps a servant with you?" "Oh, nol I haveagaynioos" (genius). "A what?" "Master, I have here with me the greatest composer since Beethoven, and I have come to solicit your protection for him." "Very well. Bring along your gaynioos, and we will see."

Liszt saw, and after him others also found their vision cleared.
