The Summer Satins.

Satins of summer weight and surah
in giace finish comprise large proper
ton of the seasons importations. The
new glace surahs are similar in quality
to the satin merveilleux of several years
ago. Poult de sole is a new silk OF taft
feta weave, with high glace surface.
Princess SATIN which is also largely
imported, is a new lightweight satin
with only a moderate lustre. There are
many damask stripes and goods set
with ting figures, but the old-fashioned
satin brocades are seldom seen In the
importations Of dress silks The most
elegant silks are these figured in den
telle effects on shaded ground. Thus
an Opheia pink satin, shading into
pale Nile silk, will be completely COW

pattern of the old Venetian guipure on

If there is no pitchers box that por-
ton Of the rules requiring base run
ner to touch his base on q foul ball
after the pitcher has taken his position
in the box must be changed. A new
rule for the putting of block ball into
play must also be adopted, as At present
the ball must be held by the pitcher in
the box before it is in plsy.
Then, too, there must be some rule
made to preserve base running, or it
will become extinct as factor in the
game.
1t can be seen from the diagram that
q pitcher from his position can keep
watch ON FIRST and third base all the
time and is always IN position! to throw
to them, while under the old rules he
was compelled to turn half way around
to throw to either first or third. Tho
small square Just back of the present
box shows the proposed plate behind
which the pitchers front foot must
land. Before he delivers the ball he
will be at leest FIVE feet back Of this
slab, SO that 1t is easy to see how close
~ he can guard first base.
The putting Of the pitcher back
makes it next to impossible for him to
field bunt. The abolition Of the fat
bat will not do away with the hunt If
the pitcher is to be moved back and
free hitting thus encouraged the bunt
should have been abolished.
The committee on rules, thinks the
Chicago Tribune is inconsistent, TO say
the least 1t encourages sacrifice hit
ting and bunting, yet lsgislates with ,
view to securing free hitting.

Pleasant Surprise,

An amusing instance OF the simplicity

whose family the lad lived for several
years When he was about years olo
he was set to learn words in an old
spelling book.
He at once became interested in
watching a race between asmall boy
and old Father Time, as represented by
an engraving, and every spare moment
he had during the day he devoted to tho
contemplation of this chase, which was
to him both real and exciting.
When bedtime came he reluctantly
laid aside the book, and his study Of
dat Of Teller wild de mowin' scvve" had

morning the FIRST thing he did was to
get the old speller and turn its pages
eagerly until he came to the exciting
picture.
He gazed intently at the figures for an
instant, and then exclaimed, with a
scream of delight as he capered joyfully
