have young men and young women gone
out harvesting. 1t was oats, l believe,
that they supposed themselves TO be
getting in, but the crop doesn't matter;
they did handle rakeS and they did load
the hay wagon, but these pretenses OF
labor were excuses and nothing more
for the harvest supper and the clothes.
Since it is 10 the clothes l must ad-
dress myself, il may be said that II
Maud Muller had sent to Paris for her
having outfit she might have spoiled
poem. In the group nearest my piazza
corner was a girl with glow on her
cheeks that came, anyone but lazy
cynic like myself would say, from hon
est exercise. Her brown hair was
plated In two long braids and tied with
red ribbons. 1t hung down over her
shoulders and upon q dress Of cream
cOlOred Bingham dotted with great red
spots. The dress came only TO her
ankles, and as she sat In the shade OF a
gnarly pear tree-for the field was we'll
arranged for amateur harvesting opera
lions with striped refreshment tent
and plenty OF benches-One caught, as
one was meant to catch, glimpse OF red
stockings ana low SHOES.
l won't rake, but l will smile upon
your labors, said this I'm de steele Maud
Muller, whose red spotted frock was
low al the throat, showing neck Of
Just the creamy BROWNIES thought APP
proBriate at this season. The dress
turned back in a heart shaped collar OF
guipure lace, and the trim little caSaQue
bodice. with it's narrow edgings of red
velvet, opened upon a full chemisette OF
fine cream cOlored linen. which was
gathered under broad belt OF deep
cream cOlored leather, laced with red
cords. IL Is not so appropriate, as any
woman knows, In such a dress TO
rake as TO smile. In her hand the smil-
ing one swung by its long ribbons
fat hat Of yellow OpenwOrk straw,
with wheat, peoples and scarf of yell
low chiffon for It's trimmings.
Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg.waS another
who found il more to her taste to smile
upon the harvesters than TO harvest
smiling. She held her court under a
walnut tree which lorded it quite in the
middle of the field, and there gathered
about her young men in tennis suits,
warm flushed, leaning on rake handles
and clad in striped caps and long,
striped stockings. Her own costume
was picturesque enough for the pictur-
eSQue occasion. IL was gray sateen,
printed with a feathery design in pink,
brought out by touches Of black velvet.
Her wide-brimmed hat was gay with
garlandS Of pink roses.
