first game of foot ball of the season IN th' $
city was played on the campus, Saturday

no second class team with them and pisyed
all the way through the game With snap
and energy which showed great amount
of practice work and general team ability.
They had strong line and their inter
ference was very good. On the other hacd,
Colby was slow in lining up, lacked the
general hustle of the game. and very weak
in the line. Two fumbles by Dyer changed
the re suit of the score greatly. For kents

the waves, come the days when half the
world starts for Europe. For such trip
there is very jaunty travelling blazer
suit tailor finished, but more dressy than
that style II gowns usually are. This par
ticular suit was made of granite cheviot
with dull green the predominating col.
or, mingled with white and several tints
The skirt fitted the figure closely in front
and was laid in godet plaits in the back
The coat was tight fitting and cut away in
front, the bottom being rounded off at the
front and bound with braid Just like a
mans coat. There was a fiat coat collar
with very large lapels, and the sleeves
were large crushed gigots, with narrow
cuffs of the goods bound with braid. The
vest was made of white pique, with dou-
BILE row of white linen buttons. This vest
opened at the neck to show a chemisette
and collar of bingham, with stripes carry
Ing the predominating colors of the gown.
There was narrow black tie The hat
was rough and ready straw, green and
gray, with bows of reseda velvet. The
other garment intended for travelling was
of snuff brown tweed, made to fit the fig
ure closely in the back, but without darts
in the front. There were 10 brown horn
buttons set in two rows, and three good,
/
without trimming and there was a coat
collar, with sharp lapels, covering a wide
circular collar in brown MORE. With this
should be worn an alpine hat in stitched
brown felt and with a seal brown velvet
band, ending with fiat bow on the left
side. There was Glengarry cape, with a
hood lined with MORE to be worn over this
in case the weather should make it neces-
/ sary, and the cape was lined through
with MORE and made of the tweed. This
I costume was designed for bride, but it is
quite as useful for any lady who intends
/ to travel.
In the place where these were made
saw several travelling dresses made of pin
head check silks. One was dark brown
and cream, one navy blue and gray, one
black and white and one black and blue.
These were made with plain skirts, trim
med sparingly with lines of velvet ribbon,
SO as to free from dust easily. In fact,
silk and mohair are the only fabrics suita-
bic for dusty travelling, though light woods
are much worn To wear with the blue
and black dress there was an ulster made
of black taffcta. 1t was really lovely,
though made as plain as possible and lined
only in the waist There was a frilled
cape of the same to throw over the shout
ders if necessary The lady who wears
such a wrap will bless her stars, for it
weighs scarcely anything and one vigor-
Gus shake in the evening will free it from
all the dust of a days accumulation.
1t is all summer and summary in the
stores now, and we are nearly bewildered
with the sight of the dainty gowns intend
ed for exclusively warm weather dresses.
The crepons lace grenadines, buntings
and deliciously Opaque veilings and tamis
cloth are all seen with much lace and rib
bon trimming, and these with the gowns
made entirely of lace and the thin silks
arc the most expensive, but do not think
them any prettier than if really as dainty

and delicate as the lawn, organdies and
cotton challies The wooden challies are so
closely and SO clevcrly initiated that it is
almost impossible to tell them apart. The
challies have small patterns and large to
suit the taste of everybody, and there has
been a new design brought out recently in
which the cheney silk designs are faithful
ly copied. The distinguishing mark of
these patterns is the vague and shadowy
outline of the flowers represented. They
seem to melt into the fabric. The effect is
Obtained by printing the figure upon the
threads before the fabric is woven. That
way the outline is not clear, as the threads
become slightly displaced in the weaving
1t produces pattern most exquisite, and
believe it was never before attempted on
anything but very rich silk.

of great vogue, already foreshadOwed

This one was of sheer printed organdic

noticed upon two gowns of light tissue
a novelty in the way of trimming. There
were fiat bands of brussels point lace
lowed on very closely, the stitches following
the heavy pattern, and then the inside
mesh was all clipped away with fine scis-
sors. This is also q good way to use old
lace, as the mesh is the part that wears
out first, and real lace always looks rich
and handsome Us long as n thread of 1t re
lains, and the thickly woven pattern can
be transferred to velvet, silk or other goods
with good effect. The way to transfer the
lace is this: 1t should first be basted upon
tAin but tough pape-, and then paper
and all basted over the material it is 10 be
transferred TO, and the heavy pattern scwed
through the paper to the goods after which
the intervening mesh should be clipped out
and the paper pulled out afterward. This
Is how experts do the work.

wide shoulder drapery and full sleeves.
The old ugly blue flannel bathing dress is
a thing of the past and is relegated to the
bathing pavilions at the seaside, where
they hire them out for 25 cents. With
these go the shapeless hats that hide the
wearers' bushes for wearing such horrid
looking things.
There has been decided step in the
right direction this season, for flannel is
not a suitable material 1t is too heavy
when wet, and it is so very wet when it is
wet. To understand this distinction one
should see the light suits made of serge or
of silk warp henrietta. This latter is only
to be had in black, but 1t keeps that rich
fold while wet that distinguishes the fabric
when dry. Water seems to glide over it,
and it is, in short perfection for the pur-
pose. Being black, the goods show off the
| whiteness of the neck and arms to the
best advantage. These black bathing suits
are trimmed according to the fancy of the
wearer the most of them having scarlet
wooden braid White braid is also used,
but does not look quite as well as rcd, and
no other color will stand the combined ac-
ton of salt water and sunshine.
The bathing suit generally has a black
jersey waist, sleeveless and low in the
sers gathered by means of a silk elastic
sewed in in such a manner as to leave ruff
| ne below. Over this the skirt goes and
this must be fastened very securely with
safety pins as well as buttons, for the surf
is apt to jerk and twist ones clothes to the
utmost, and it has been known to strip
skirts and even stockings off in an instant.
So everything must be made absolutely
safe. The waist may or may not be sewed
to the skirt 1t is better to sew it on. The
waist of this season is a blouse, belted in
snugly, with a frll below the belt No
Jokes are seen on any of the suits.
Many ladies like the light colored scrgcs
with stripes or figures. White, with blue
polka dots, makes up very prettily, and
serge is an excellent material to shed wa
ter. One pretty suit for young lady was
of cream white serge, with polka dots of
cherry red Around the skirt there was a
cable chain wrought with red wolsted
braid There were trousers to match, gath
cred with elastic at the knees The waist
and skirt were scwed to Il rcd elastic belt.
The neck was cut out slightly, and the
sleeves were short and tight, with IA cap
cut in vandykes and bound with red braid.
The bertha was also cut out and bound.

Shrubs For Shady Places.

The fragrant bush honeysuckle does
finely in such place. The Towering
raspberry grows in the greatest album

damp places in woods. Snowberry and
red Indian currant bushes do nicely in
shady places; so do common privets.
Most all kinds of trailing honeysuckles
thrive in the shade so far as growing

like Wichuraiana nitida and lucida grow
in the shade. In dry, somewhat shady
