For, it some maids look * upon courting the salt sea wave as the sum- mit of bliss, there are others of the sex we know who prefer the courting of a man, and for these last a bathing cos- tume affords golden and legitimate op- portunities. Welcome,' then, the sum- mer girl and her new sea toilets, all of which, to do her justice, however, are not purely for ornamental purPoses. The new bathing costumes for prac- tical use differ in cut and material but little from the old. The same service- able serges, alpacas and flannels are Used, and all the models include com THE SEASIDE GIRL.

When the throat is bill and hand- some this shield front, which is attached to •••. high neck-band and buttons on each side of the collar, may be omitted. As to good sea colors, it is generally conceded that blue serge and white braid is the most )'erviceable and gen- erally becoming combination. Scarlet and black is also a very fetching one: and for color -loving mernialds there are entire bathing suits in scarlet or pale yellow mohair, which le an admirable salt water texture, though not as agree- able as serge for wear. A yellow mo- hair costume, just imported, has the Unique distinction of a trimming of yel- low silk embroidery.

The most bearable of the handker- chiefs are in solid tints, red, blue, yel- low and black, but there are also some with plain centers and striped borders and very dashing ones In great gaudy Plaids. Stockings are in solid tints or are divided with a sock effect into a light and a dark section, which style, however, as well as brilliant colors, Is only suited to the slimmest extremi- ties. Three pairs of black stockings can be had for $1, and If feet are tender there are black jersey stockings with hard canvas -covered soles that sell at 75 cents a pair. Other bathing shoes, for certainly these soles ,take the place of shoes, are conspicuous by their ab- sence. For going from bath house to surf, any old slippers on heed may be called Into service, though (Mich of the imported suits described was provided with a little pair of sandals that were to be fastened on with a cross garter- ing of ribbon. This cross gartering is a graceful addition to slight ankles; but it is well for thicker ones not to chal- lenge the searching eye of the popu- lace. Both wraps are talked of and written of, but are not shown in the shops where common bathing mortals buy. They do not exist, however, and a very splendid one just Imported by one of our Choicest dressmakers is a great circle that reaches from throat to heels, with a hood attached, and all made of white blanket serge. The bathing suit that went with it was white also. India silk richly embroidered on collar and skirt bottom being the material; stock- ings white silk, white canvas sandals with satin' ties. It was in frightfully bad taste, of course, but was levely and novel and expensive, as are all the things .that come to us from foreign shores. BRILLIANT UNIVERSITY GIRL Mis» Ann I..

She lAnew 22 years of age, and, though born under the shadow of Yale college, has lived nearly all her life in Michigan. She Is a fine speaker, with a full, pene- trating voice, which commands respect, and is a natural leader of her sex. At the beginning of the year she was elect- ed the prophet of her class, but declined the honor to give it to a folend of hers who desired it more than she. This •friend was a fraternity girl and would never have been elected by the \inde- pendent\ members of the dam] but for Miss Richards' generous act. This more than anything else made her elec- tion to present the bust unanimous and, none of the boy orators dared run against her. Besides being a speaker Miss Richards has also Wade an en- viable record as a student and writer. She is managing editor of the Students' C`.ristian association, editor of the Cas- tilian and has held nearly every honor a \co -cil\ could held. She has no defi- nite plans of work after her gradua- tion, but It seems he is destined for a life or public duty. THE USEFUL BICYCLE. is Oera•lon ns Which it Replaived Turpin's Bonnie Black liess. In these days. when so many means of earning a livelihood are closed, save to the working classes, it is interest- ing to hear of the revival of so old a profession as that of the road. This being the age of machinery, one need not be surprised to learn that the bi- 'cycle has been eubetituted for the Bon- nie Black Bessie of a century ago. The original formula: \Your money or your life,\ is, however, maintained intact, and the old York road is once again the scene of the highwayman'e opera- tions. The pistol, too, is still tbe proper weapon, and in other respects the tra- ditions at the craft are carefully pre- served. \The Doncaster police were communicated with, but have not made any arrest,\ is a !entente. that reminds one of the days when watchmen were overturned in their boxer].

LIFE STORY OF EX -SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Hu shrewder.., na a Financier Saved the Country fr ,,,,, Much Trouble Im- mediately After ‚lie Close ot the Civil War. 13> ë( UGH M'CULLOCH ex -secretary of the treasury, was born at Kennebunk, Me., In 1808. He entered Bowdoin college, but ill -health com- pelled him to leave It before complet- ing his sophomore year. Then he stu- died law, and on being admitted to the bar in 1833 removed to Fort Wayne, Ind. In 1835 he was chosen cashier and manager of the Fort Wayne branch of the State Bank of Indiana, and re- mained in that position until 1855, when he was elected president of the state ban . Pie wits still in that position when ident Lincoln, by the advice of Mr. - hase, who was then secretary of the treasury, made Mr. McCulloch comp- troller of the currency. In this position e assisted in organizing the newly ated bureau and settled many of the Is of the new banking system. Ile also romoted the conversion. of the leadin financial institutions of the country into national banks. In March, 1865, he entered Lincoln's cabinet as secretary of the treasury, ¡hid held that position throughout Johnson's troubled administration until General Gint appointed his successor in 1869. At that time the government was in great financial straits. The treasury was nearly empty and the ex- penses were enormous. McCulloch's first work was to raise money with which to pay the half million soldiers who were about to quit the service for private life. In less than six months this motley was raised, all the national obligations met at maturity and the work of a debt re- duction was begun. The conversion of $1,000,000,000 short -time bonds into a funded debt was also accomplished on highly favorable terms, and in less than two years the debt of the country was placed on a satisfactory basis. The four annual reports which Mr. McCulloch made to congress as secre- tary of the treasury might deserve to be published together as a text book of national finance, just as several of Mr. Gladstone's budgets have been resurrected from public documents and published in a volume by themselves. Mr. McCulloch did not deem a contrac- tion of the currency, which was vastly inflated at the close of the war, as the only thing necessary to bring about a resumption of specie payments, but he deemed it the, most important thing, HUGH ha'CULLOCH. and in his first report urged strenuous- ly that immediate steps be taken for a slow and steady contraction. Congress did not authorize as much contraction as he asked for, but It authorized the retirement of $10,000,000 of greenbacks in six months, and the retirement of $4.- 000,000 a month thereafter. A couple of years after, however, the inflationists got the upper hand, and this act was repealed, and the era of in- flation prolonged. Mr. McCulloch urged 'fiscal, political and constitutional rea- sons against the maintenance of a legal tender currency in time of peace. He argued the necessity of giving a pledge that the 6-20e would be paid in coin. He urged the reduction of the debt as fast as possible. - -in his report of 1866 he said that specie payments might be brought about by July 1, 1868. The strength of the inflationirde in congress defeated the means whereby this was to be. brought about, but In his report of 1868 he recommended that the greenbacks be deprived of their legal tender quality after 1871. In all his reports he urged the, immediate rehabilitation of the south for economic reasons. After Grant's election and the ap- pointment of Boutwell as his emcee - sor, Mr. McCulloch established in Lon- don the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., In 1873, when the London house reorganized under the name of McCul- loch & Co. A year afterward he returned to the United States and retired from business for a few years. In 1884, how- ever, on the resignation of Walter Q. Greeham, President Arthur called on Mr. McCulloch to resume his post at Washington as secretary of the treas- ury. He has lived since his retirement from public life at the natfilional cap - 'tel.

Ph, no! MISS EMMA BROOKE. The Girl Who Acknowledges she Wrote \A Superelssum 110 Ii1f1.11. \ The people who accused In turn every wilier of prominence in England of be- ing the author of the novel, \A Super- fluous Woman,\ which made quite a stir in literary circles for a time when erotic stories were pouring from Eng- lish intellects, can settle the question of authorship for good and all. The writer has revealed herself. She is Miss Emma Brooke, the daughter of an English landlord and capitalist. The earliest influence which gave cast to her character was the fact that she was born in a village which had been in a measui the creation of her maternal grandfather, who was a great employ- er of labor there. There was mUch that EMMA BROOKE, NOVELIST. was picturesque, excessively gloomy and repressed in Miss Brooke's earliest sur- roundings; her bringing up was reli- gious, almost ascetic and austere. She had many opportunities for observing the rougher aide of life. She attended Cambridge university, but carried away scarcely any honors, the greatest bene- fit she received being the reverence for careful accuracy in speech and thought which her college training inculcated. Miss Brooke lives in London at pres- ent and is much interested in socialism, her latest book being on that subject. The book is considered by critics to be crude and dull. Prince Bismarck\ Superstition. Prince Bismarck has a curious super- stition in connection with the number three, and apparently not without rea- son. He has served three German em- perors; he has fought in three wars; he has signed three treaties of peace: he arranged the meeting of the three em- perors, and established the triple alli- ance. The arms of his family bear over the motto, - In Tinitate Rebqr.\ the trefoil leaves and three oak leered. All caricatures represent him with three hairs on his head. He has three children—Herbert. William, and Marie; he has three estates, and, finally, he has had under him three political parties— the conservatives, the national liberals and the ultramontanes. It is really wonderful how, when a man has a fad like this, he can find at once, and all about him, coincidences which will en. courage him in his folly. CONSUL -GENERAL TO CUBA. RegILIOn O. Williams is an Important Personage Just Now. Ramon O. Williams. the American consul -general to Cuba, went to that country when quite a young man and engaged. In mercantile pursuits, from which he retired in 1871. He was ap- pointed United States vice -consul -gen- et -el at Havana in 1874. and was pro- moted to - consul -general ten years lat- er, serving his government faithfully through four stiscessive administra - alone. His thorough knowledge of the RAMON O. WILLIAMS. economic and political sjoÎterms of the island ham been of geed value to his government during the past twenty years, In which Cuba has seen so many crises of a political and economic char- atcter. Mr. Williams' family resides in the United States, HP DI now home on leave of absence. Perhapa He Did.

Miss Margaret Fraser, whose dancing is a leading feature of the eattertain- ment, and whose wonderful back kick has made her famous, decided, with her sister, Helen, to go on the stage just eighteen months ago. No sooner said than done, but theIrsmother never al-. lowed them to go td a performance without her. They were playing in the Prince of Wale's Theater, London, and when the management finally decided to send the company on a tour, Mrs. Fraser said, \Where my girls go, I go too,\ end go she did, paying all of her own expenses. At last came the move to America, and the mother decided that as she could never get her own consent to let her girls out of her sight, she would go on in the chorus. \Think of it!\ she said thé other day, \the very idea of my going on the stage at my time of life. It seems al- most ridiculous, especially when I think of my two grown sons, both older than the girls. in London. They would be astonished to know that I was on in the chorus, and I sha'n't tell them until I get home. But the girls wouldn't travel without me, and I wouldn't allow them to do so. So one can readily see how much better It is for me to be making my expenses in this way.\ Miss Martino, who takes the part of the French maid, and Miss Scott, one of the chorus girls, also came over from England under the chaperonage of Mrs. Fraser. and the five women occupy the third floor of a private house. They take their mealtuat a quiet hotel, and are in bed every night a half hour af- ter the curtain drops on the last act of the performance. The other two gaiety girls. Miss Gom- ersal and Miss Craddock, are Mrs Manning and Mrs. Marshall in private life. Their husbands are in the corn- .;•'¡ MARGARET FRASEI- S SMILE pany. The manager of the company, in speaking of the four girls with Mils. Fraser said. \They are the most quiet lot I ever saw and lead almost sober lives. Every one of them is a milk fiend, and as for getting one of them to touch a glass of beer or wine or any- thing of the kind Ilia an impossibility. Neither will they accept an Invitation from anybody to supper after the per- formance, and Mrs. Fraser tells me that her girls won't even eat anything that she prepares for them at night, and always declare that they can't under- stand why people want to eat at that unearthly hour. \Her girls take life very seriously. - continued the manager, \and if the pub- lic only knew how hard I worked to get Margaret to give that catching smile of hers they would appreciate It more than ever. She would advance to the footlights, bend down to the fir, and come up with a face as solemn as an Owl's. 'You do that excellently,' ould say to her. 'but when you rise up en ' t look Igo sober, but ‚mile,' Smile?' she would repeat in a Mechanical way, 'What is there to gmlle — The audience.' 1 explained 'it 'catches the people to ere a sweet smile.' And then she would say. 'I don't want to catch anybody.' Firmly, after much persuasion, I succeeded In getting her to smile, but not one man, much less all in the audience, can lay the flatter- ing unction to himself that she is smil- ing at him.\ PAUL DIVER THE HINO.
