of course can be seen nowhere else so
we'll as in Athens. The students are
generally young men and women,
graduates Of different colleges in the
United States, who go to Athens to learn
enough about these things to become
professors. 1t was young American
student in this school, Eugene p. An
drews, who worked many days upon
scaffoldings and risked his life upon
rope ladders to prove that the big let
ters on the front of the Parthenon,
y an inscription in honor of the En-
peror Nero, put up by the Athenian
Council and people while Tiberius Clau-
dius Novius was general Of the hoplites,
or heavy armed troops, for the eighth
time; and a good many scholars would
rather have made that discovery than
possess a gold mine.
Vacation time in the American school

cause Athens is very hot in summer.
but begins about the middle Of April.
There are usually not more than a doz-
en- students, and they march off to dig
up the ruins of some of the forgotten
cities of Greece. They are now at work
on Corinth, which is near the western
end of the canal of Corinth, which was
begun by Nero and finished four years
ago in 1S93 The city was very famous
in it's day, but there is nothing left of
1t but an insignificant village; so the

and ecru frock Of the small shepherds
plaid that promises to be the one thing
every woman will think she must have
this autumn. The skirt of this dress
is rather FULL but with all the bulk be-
hind. A band Of cream-colored cloth
runs down each side from the waist
and Is strapped with tabs of blue and
gold braid. The bodice is a smart
casaque, or basque jacket, belted with
a blue ribbon and edged all the way
around with cream cloth and blue and
gold braid. 1t opens on blouse of
cream -colored chiffon. There are tight
sleeves starting from under fiat epau-
lettes, and brown straw hat set of
with mass of cornflowers is worn.
Another dress that has been seen one
or two bright mornings is of mignonette-
colored cheviot, with scrolls Of gold
braid disposed in new fashion on the
waist, the designs increasing in size
and complexity from the waist down.
Similar decorations sprawl over the
tight-f1tting basqued coat, which turns
back in white moire revers over blouse
of white silk. The coat has trim belt
with a gold buckle and tight coat
sleeves, undisguised by epaulettes or
other shoulder pieces. With this outfit
appears a green straw hat with sprays
of goldenrod and towering white plumes.
No longer is 1t beneath the athletic
girls dignity to have special gown for
croquet. A young relative of Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer wears on the lawn dress of
fine soft silver grey wool cut to show off
a fine figure to the best advantage. The
somewhat narrow skirt is admirably
hung. It's only trimming Is deep v Of
gold braid starting on the hips. The
point is in the middle of the front and
less than foot above the hem. The bod
ice has a snug tailor fit and is adorned
with gold braid coming to point at the
waist line. There Is q narrow pointed
vest of green crepe. The coat sleeves
are uncompromising. With white belt
and a white sailor hat banded with gold
slim figure could not display itself
more excellently. It is the great charm

BOWLING ON THE GREEN.
An Ancient British Pastlme Which Has
Invaded America.

Some Of the big athletic clubs whose
athletic committees are always on the
lookout for new games have recently
taken UP 'bowling on the green," very
ancient British pastime. In it's present
form. it halls from Canada, where 1t has
been played in q quiet way for some
time.
A set of balls for green bowling con-
sists of one round yellow ball called the
"jack," and eight bowls, which are egg
shaped balls Of lignum vitae. perhaps
six or eight inches long, with a small
plate Of metal let in at one end and
larger one at the other, so that the bowl
can always be rolled in a curve, which
Is in or out according to the position OF
the hand and that of the larger strip Of
metal.
In the American game two or four
can bowl. One throws the Jack away
on the turf and all bowl at 1t. When
ball lies in the way. the bowler at
tempts the curve. The player whose
bowl is nearest the jack when all have
bowled, wins one point, and 1t Is then
his privilege to throw the jack as far
as he likes in any direction for a new
bowl. In this way the game can wan
der over an entire golf course and fur
nish lots of exercise. If four players are
in the game, they can choose sides or
not, as they like.
The game il substantially like the old
English game of bowling, which was
declared unlawful under Henry VIII.
The law remained dead letter for
many yaars, and was finally repealed
so latelNsAs 1B45. In the English game,
the playing IL restricted to a green
about sixty feet square, SO that the
players wander back and forth, and q
skip or captain u named on each side.

A singularly smart gown was a grey
mohair, worn by Mrs Morris K. Jesup.
1t was draped over a skirt Of red and
grey shot silk and had three panels of
silk widening at the bottom. From the
waist came succession Of perpendicu-
lar tucks, which were repeated on the
shoulders Of the full bodice. The belt
had a large silver buckle at the back,
while lace epaulettes made a graceful
bodice trimming.
Mrs. Burton Harrison wore an original
and very becoming combination of
mauve cloth with a rounded yoke Of sky
blue glace. Bands of ecru lace over the
blue silk were carried round the arm
holes and yoke, and appeared again on
the sash and at the hem of the skirt.
A capital dress was of black China
crepe, with the skirt rather full on the
hips. The bodice was trimmed with jet
and Chantilly insertion. There were
long tight sleeves, with frills on the
shoulders Of black chiffon edged with a
frilling Of white lace. This ornamental
ton was repeated at the neck and hem,
six ruches surrounding the skirt, each
with its white edging. A large white
hat was worn, with white plumes.
A handsome young married woman
from Philadelphia wore a delicately
pretty dress of green nuns yelling,
which is. perhaps, of all materials for
day wear, the favorite just at present.
1t was made up over green and blue
shot silk, which came glinting through.
1t had been woven with a border Of
green, blue and thread of gold, and
this was used to edge the basque, and
in wide bands on the skirt. The dark
blue straw hat worn with this gown
was trimmed with blue succory and
foliage.
Some of the best of the new autumn
tailor dresses are sported by young wo-
men who have not forgotten how to
walk since they learned the wheel.
Curious az 1t may seem, there are girls
who are capable yet of tramps among
the Berkshires. One Of these seeming

painted, as he came up, "to get picture
of lightning-and I got it-and the
flash made-everything plain-and the
thief was down-in your melons right
then-and caught him! Look at that!"
He held aloft his finished plate and
there across the sky were the lines of
the lightning, like rivers on a map, and
down in the foreground were not only
the melons, dimly visible-but figure
as well.
"Sneaden!" cried Donald, land he's
dropping Beckys jacket, and he's got
two big melons under his arms!"
1t was nearly half an hour before a
print" in blue, could be made from
the plate, and then all of them stood in
wonder to see it, including the farmer
and Donald's aunt.
well, I snum!" said Mr.. Tumkins.
But I told yeh ther'd be trouble fer
the one thet took them mellins, an

big appolegy-an' a reward of twenty
dollars inter the bargain. An I'd like
to jest divide it equal between yeh."
And he did.

AN OLD NAME
BUT NEW GAME.
Up-t0-Date CroQuet as Scien-
tific as Tennis, Golf,
or Billiards.
"Oh, I can play croquet."


You can, can you?"
"Of course; it's easy-nothing but
whacking lot Of balls around on the
when I was little"
That is what nearly every one woulA
say if asked; but playing croquet is not
so easy now as it used to be, when a
fairly skillful player could start third
or fourth and go clear through to the
FARTHER stake in one inning. Just as in
baseball, 'one out side out" used to be
the rule. Now it takes three out to give
fellow a chance to bat again; so cro-
quet has been made harder and harder.
until now it's a terror to beginners.
In the first place it isn't played-at
least, in match games of any importancs
ON grass lawns. but upon carefully
beaten dirt courts, as level as billiard
tables. They are like billiard tables.
too, in that they have raised edges of
beveled timber all around them. from
which carom or rebounding shots can be
made; and good player is expected not
only to be able to make carom shots.
but to hit his ball a downward blow
with the mallet and make it jump right
over another ball or wire that he doesn't
want to hit.
But the most vexatious thing about
the modern croquet game is the way in
which the wickets, or arches, have been
narrowed. They used to be ten inches
wide at the start and half the time
were spread an inch or so wider before
being hammered down into the ground
with mallet. Now the ordinary wick
cts are exactly three and a half inches
wide, and the two arches or wickets set
side by side in the middle of the ground
have only three and three-eighth inches
of space between wires. A regulation
croquet ball is three and quarter
inches in diameter, so that there is just
quarter Of an inch to spare in going
through an ordinary wicket, and in the
middle wickets only an eighth of an
inch. This renders it hard to make a
shot when the ball is not in good posi-
ton. Besides the balls are no longer
turned out of wood with lathe, but
are made Of hard pressed rubber. The
mallet may be of lockwood, but the
head is oftener a steel tube filled with
wood in the middle, with one end Of
soft rubber and one of hard rubber.

his camera, making experiments. He
photographed clouds and things in mo-
ton. and got an effect of moonlight on
the pond; but he wanted more than any,
thing to have try at lightning. Thun-
der storms, however, it seemed to him,
had never been so rare. Though much
absorbed he frequently thought of Becky
and wished that she could look at his
pictures.
AS for Becky, she went very often to
the crumbling old mill in the hope that
Donald would come again to take the
photograph. The days being warm, she
frequently threw off blue serge jacket
that she wore, and left it lying on the
grass.
At length one evening, Just as the
sun went down, the clouds came rolling
in great, heavy masses from the west,
and the wind blew in fitful gusts. A
darkness, as Of midnight, engulfed the
trees and houses, and with heavy rum
blings a thunder storm came rapidly
on.
Young Donald ran to the house and
rushed to his room. With quick, nerv-
Gus fingers he prepared his camera, and
he opened the window to make more
sure Of his exposure"
The darkness had now so increased
that objects without could scarcely be
discerned, yet the flashes of lightning

That is just what the students Of the
American school in Athens do, and their

work the intense excitement Of making

The American school at Athens Is in

tive amusement. Becky seemed to be
the only one who took any interest or
appreciated his work.
On a warm afternoon, as Donald was
walking through the woods to French's s
pond. he was suddenly met by the
slouchy son of the man named Sneaden
"a fellow as tall as himself, who was
holding by string new and dainty
hat.
"Hey. Sneaden." said Donald. as the
fellow tried to hide the hat, "how'd
you come by that?"
None of yer business" said Sneaden.

answered Donald. who had recognized
the hat as belonging to Becky. You
tell me where you got it, or yol give it

II wunt do neither" Sneaden an
swered; and he gathered up a handful
Of dust.
"Then I'll take It," said Donald. step
ping forward.
Sneaden quickly threw the dust to
blind the other, and part of it indeed
struck young Donald in the eyes, al
though he lodged. This made him an
cry, and he pitched into Sneaden with
such vigor that the latter went down
on his back in a jiffy.
