Miss Genevieve Ward was among the
spectators in frock of pale green wool
with Medici collar and bodice that fas-
tened under the arm, the small buttons
continuing round the armhole up the shout
der seam to the neck. The sage green vel
vet sleeves were even higher on the shout
ders than is the elevated New York custom,
and the black lace hat was trimmed with
maidenhair ferns. A blonde girl with the
thickest braid of yellow hair it has ever
been my fortune to look on wore gray
serge frock with gray velvet zouave jacket
and white waistcoat. Pink roses were
pinned in great fragrant knot on her left
shoulder.
The young English maidens look so cor
rect and reserved that Yankee girl would
surely call them prim. Their backs are
very straight, their waists too small for
their shoulders and hips, and their faces
rather long. When Miss Violet Pinckney
met one of her very hard and low fore
hand drivers they would nod gravely in ap-
probation of her neat style and say: "Just
fawncy!" without excitement and without a
smile. A very good specimen of this type
who sat next me and lectured a rebellious
young American on the other side of her
whom she was chaperoning wore good
gown of cream nuns yelling. with bands of
dark green velvet on the skirt and a full
bodice with side pieces Of the velvet which
came in point to the front;
l notice that good many handsome
black dresses are worn in London this sum-
mer, and the Zouave jacket is en- evidence,
heavily trimmed with passementerie.

The heat in the year 1914 dried up the rivers

the year 1852 the heat was 50 great that
eggs could be cooked in the sand. In 1897
it is recorded that many men and animals
came by their death through the intense
heat. In the year 1903 the waters
of the Rhine and the Danube were partially
dried up, and people passed over on foot

through Europe. In 1914 in France. and
