The past week has been a series of
what might be called ''yum-yum'' days.
Probably there are some who are not
well Informed on the subject of ''yum-
yums"-posslbly they do not even know
one when they see it. Such ignorance
IS lneXcusabie, when stroll along any
of the White Bear avenues at about
O'Clock in the afternoon will give any
one countless opportunities for the study
of the yum-yum in all its varieties.
The yum-ynm is not bird. nor yet any
thing to drink, but is sort of first
cousin to our old friend, the Mother
Hubbard. They are nearly all built on
the same model, and rarely on very fine
lines. No ballast is used, and lightness
is one of the first objects aimed at in
their construction. To build yum
yum you first lay out the keel mean
the yOke-Which is a sort of fOre-and-
aft affair, with the hole for ones head
directly amidships. Then the hull. or
skirt, is Shlrred on, or fulled, around
this yoke. Then set up your standing
rigging, or. in other words. sew in the
sleeves, and there you are! Hhe sail
area is about fifteen square yards, but
this depends great deal on the wind.
The materials necessary for the con-
struction of one of these affairs are
about twenty yards of any kind of ma
terlal from mosquito bar to toweling,
four yards of thread and little Ham
burg edging for the neck and wrists.
A yum-yum ought to be comfortable in
the greatest degree, for it certainly is
not thing of beauty. If the ladies
would only choose their materials so
that they would harmonic with the
paint OH the side of the house, or the
color of the hammock hung up IN the
front yard, the effect would not be so
startling: but think of the soft blending
of the colOrS of a bright red ha mmock
and flaming yellow yunl-yum, or those
OF lemOn-colored house and sap
green-rObed woman, the tout ensemble
often finished off with pair of turkey
red slippers.
