The possibilities of green are almost in
finite, and when a summer sets out as this
summer has done in right earnest to be q
green summer the range OF tones and the
harmonies and discords at any gathering OF
many women, IS at the horse show for
example, are worth studying. / remember
a particularly novel color mixture worn bya
fresh, rose-checked giel who admired every
beast shown, the tallest ones most, the less
l~ong-legged steed graded in proportion. It
was an almost startling grass green, mixed
with violet and copper pink. and the eyes
returned to it again and a third time to see
what it meant, and had there not been q
mistaken perception.
Then there was a woman in q sage green
summer cloth frook that was probably
more after the notions of tho majority,
with its long princess coat and its sixteenth
century vest Of pale %yellowish cream color,
stitched with gold.
She was a pale blonde who wore it and
you called her slim and shadowy and, yes,
pretty until she came too near q warm col
ored girl in dark Russian green figured with
dark red, who with her glowing tints wiped
QUIT the weaker ones completely. Her straight
skirt, full at the bottom, opened on the left
/ side over q panel of pale yellow. On the
| right side it was cut in tabs and Tapped with
| black green buttons. The bodice was
drawn from ths shoulders to q point at the
waist and caught with a dark green velvet
bow. Under its parting folds was slipped
a yellow silk vest with gilt buttons. The
dark green hat burned With crimson pop
pies. and the girl made you think of a pins
tree with grass beyond it full of summer
blooms.
believe I counted three girls in pale
green and black and two more in dark
green and blush pink, but the most sue
cessful of all green combinations is remem-
bered from a costume worn by q w%ell-known
woman at the actors fund fair.
A grayish green silk, somewhat palsr thar
m~iRnonette, was figured daintily with peach
blossoms. It had a round bodice, with col
lar and full ~sleeves of black lace run
through with narrow green and pink rib
bons. The sleeve puffs we're met at the el-
bows by %eauntlets of peach pink MORE. The
skirt had q peach mink fonnoe at the bot

knots of Iale green ribbon.

soft. early summer oolorings and shadings

wise to forget what We have not and cannot

National academy that | saw her, standing

bronx from shouldert TO shoe, in A gracefully
and graciously fashioned princess robe.
The skirt was cut on the cross and-the
girl having very evidently a sensible Dress
maker-it had no trimming. But it opened
on the left side over a panel OF solid green
silk of a wonderfully vivid yet delicate
shade, matching that of half-grown horse
chestnut leaves. The waist had a bsoad
rolling collar of the green silk behind, and
tapering to a Foint just below the waist
and half hidden by t. broad fr1ll of lace
tumbling out of a full aoft vest of

The encroachments of the lace and the
ambition of the reyers were kept within
the bounds of practicability at the waist by
a folded belt of darker green velvet, colored
like pads of pond lilies. In front the belt
clasped with a horseshoe of emeralds and
brilliants, and the deep gauntlet cuffs on

A Ouicksand Gives Up Its Dead.

A Plattmouth (Neb. dispatch to the
Philadelphia Press says: Many strange
things are recorded about the floods
which have come down the Missouri
and Platte rivers this year, but none
of them are stranger than the discov-
cry that was made in a place where
there has always, heretofore, been a
sand-bar. About a mile below the
mouth OF the Platte, on the shore OF
the Missouri, was q most dangerous
piece of ground, it being a quicksand
which had swallowed up more than
one human being. Four years ago
two school children were lost and the
only remnant of them that could be
found was the straw hat of one Of
them, which was lying on the bank
near the quicksand.
In washing away the banks dur
ing its annual change, the Missouri
cut deeply into the quicksand and in
fact almost obliterated it. Where
there was q most dangerous piece OF
ground is now q lot of rocks, and on
these rocks were found the remains
of the victims Of the quicksands which
have been swallowed up for many
wears. The rocks at the bottom OF
the quicksands were strewn thlckly
with animal and human skeletons.
The bones of two children were found
and down in the mass Of debris were
discovered the skeletons OF five OIL
people, all full grown, while over nifty
skeletons of animals were counted.
