Extreme summer heat Is a very

ail W YORK.—One morning recently
Iv folks passing along a path In Cen-
I tral park, invariably paused to watch
I and w onder at an , ttntisnal-iookiwK
group The group consisted of a pret-
ty, bright-faced young woman and a
j swarm of children—75, at least—dirty,
i ragged, unkempt little children of the
I strict, from about six to ten years
of age. They were all playing games,
J tin- young woman with as great zeal
| as any. In fact, she was one of the
most popular and sought after for the
tug in Loudon bridge," and she bad
to serve an "it" more often than any
one else in "The farmer is dead and
i in ills grave.”
j The spectators gazed in amazement
: !.!•(< commented mi the fact that so
many children and of the type often
si ( u squabbling and lighting, could
; pl.i.v so long and in such peaceful fash
ion This was the very point of her
work the voting woman explained
later. She was one of (lie tyachers
t :11 out by the lately formed guild
of play, and her duty is to gather up
little children of the streets who
have no playground and know none
ci i Fie games that all children have
a right to and should know, and to
t a!;' • them to (lie parks and teach
tin in tin! old games. On this occa-‘
siou lie had started from One Hun
(ln-dth street with It —12 boys and
two glr^s. On the way several more
bad added themselves, and before they
had been playing half an hour the
■lumber had swelled to 75.
They are not allowed to he rough
or unfair. "That’s a skin! That’s a
skin, teacher!” they shouted when her
"Keny iuecny-mlny-nio" had brought
the coveted houor of beinfc "it” a sec-
ond time to the .same little tousled
bead Insurrection seemed Immi-
nent. but the .young teacher showed
iter power aa.a diplomat by the way
she had them speedily convinced that
it was not 51 "skin.” and had them be-
ginning to realize the meaning of the
word "fairness.” Young pugilistic
tendencies quickly faded away.
They soon learn the songs nnri raise
their voices lustily, and altogether en-
joy themselves so much that the teaoh
er's chief difficulty is *to get them
home again.
It is the intention of the guild to
work toward the end of making eacli
group into a temporary organization,
with regular time anil plaoo of meet-
ing, over which the children may se-
lect their own leader from their nuui
ber for short, regular Intervals. The
typical folk and national games are
taught from the English, American.
French and other play lore, and Swed-
ish dancing games, gradually introduc-
ing new types and forms, so as to
make the play as educational and pro-
gressive as possible. The children
learn whether the "content” of the
game is military, social or industrial;
whether |hclr form is a ring, line, cir-
cle or square. All this in good time,
of course; at first they simply Idhrn
how to play, a thing foreign to too
many of them.

L3-
| T COST Adolpli Fliesclnnai) of San
I Francisco $1,057.62 to undervalue
the foreign purchases of himself and
wife and bis mother-in-law. Mrs. W.
II llreiuiner. When I'leischman ar-
rived on the Kronprinzessin Cecelie
he passed in a declaration for $340.
When the inspector, startled at the
rich silks anil other articles he saw,
sent for the deputy surveyor in charge
of the inspectors, Mr. Fleischman
raised the ante to $400.
After the seven trunks and one case
hud been sent to the public stores
and there officially declared seized,
Mr. Fleischman’s lawyer, Francis K.
Hamilton, formerly solicitor to the col-
lector, went to the custom house and
asked for a quick adjustment of, the
j case. He was told to bring Mr.
Fleischman before Harrison Osborne,
piesent solicitor to the collector. Mr.
Hamilton raised the ante to $1,400.
The hearing before Mr. Osborne
was held at the custom house. Mr.
Hamilton pleaded that Mr. Fleisch-
man had worn some of the clothes be-
fore.
Fleischnian’s mother-in law was
made the "goat." Mr. Fleischman did
not know what she had bought. Again,
Mr. Fleischman was not familiar with
the law. ". • - ■ i
The actual value of the goods
bought abroad was found to be
$1,657.62, as shown by Invoices. The
Californian was fined the amount of
the foreign value, on $1,657.62. He
had also to pay a duty of 60 per
cent., $929.74, making a total of
$2,587.36.
He could have saved $1,61*7.62 by
telling the truth and placing his val-
uation of the foreign purchases of him-
self, his wife and his mother-in-law
according to the invoices. He paid
the fine and duties and took the goods
and left for California.
Legal Fight for a $50,000,000 Prize
for (oolness in njn>earance, nothing
is better than pale green, of which
this dress is made.
The front panel Is in piece embroid
cry; it may either be laid over linen
or let); transparent. Tho bodice is un-
lined, and Is cut off at waist and sewn
to a band to which also the skirt is at-
tached.
Tucks are made on the BhVnilders,
and a panel of embroidery Is carried
down front. The sleeve^ aro composed
of bands of embroidery, and fine tucks.
Hat of white spotted muslin with
frill of muslin falling from the brim,
roses and leaves form the trimming.
Materials required for the dress;
6V4 yards 42 Inches wide, 1% yards
embroidery 18 inches wide.
Petticoats for Babies.
Tiny little sleeves with tiny little
erms, but the latter always slipping
out of the former, make the petticoat
a great nuisance to the mother, and
for this reason the princess, which
simply slips over the head and but-
tons at the shoulders, Is preferred by
many. The only opening In me gar-
ment Is at the shoulders, where a lit-
tle button and buttonhole are all that
is needed to keep the harrow straps
together The new baby s petticoat
affords no elusive armhole for the
struggling arms, which are almost
bound to go the wrong way.
Veil Ad lust meet.
To arrange a veil easily and smooth-
ly fold It in the middle and gather
for about an Inch and a half to each
side with a stout thread. Gather
cads Into small knots and sew secure-
ly. Fasten ends nt back of hat with
veil pin or pin on nape of neck with
a baratte.
In Pastel Colors.
i'lain materials are piuch easier ot
construction than are those of striped,
barred and (lowered material. Per-
haps it is this that has made the deli-
cate pastel-colored batiste a favorite
with the home dressmaker.
The fact remains that many of the
more expensive sheer linen models in
these delicate tones are copied by the
amateur In the less expensive ba-
tiste.
A favored method' of finishing the,,
batiste frock is the basting together
of its various parts and tho holding
of them in place by a very close and
even feather-stitching.
Frills of Footing.
Plaited frills of white tulle footing
are much In evidence on pretty blouses
of colored foulard. They are intend-
ed, It Is true, to be worn with the sep-
arate skirt, but the colors should
match, thus making the dress at least
harmonious, If not a true example of
the one-piece frock.
The looting frill usually is edged
with a little strip of straight or bias
silk like the blouse, and its covered
buttons and small bow tie are of plain
foulard to match the general color
scheme.
Mercurial Lotion.
The application of mercurial lotion
will sometimes remove pimple scars.
It Is very strong, and must be used
with great care. It Is best to have
a chemist do the mixing. The formu-
la Is ten grains of corrosive sublimate
in half a pint each of distilled and
rose water. A little is applied to the
skin, lotting It dry on. Night and
morning la sufficiently often, omitting
after a few days and agala using. It
la poisonous If taken Internally, and 1»

A LEGAL fight, with over $50,009.-

In tho courts of Now York City. The
fortune which Is to be the basis for
this hitter struggle was accumulat-vd
years ago'by Andrew Oorden Ham-
ersley. For decades It has yielded a
princely income to the dowager duch-
ess and It now Is held in trust for a
boy of 16, who is unaware be is the
heir to this vast estate.

For more than 30 years It has been
