who was death ON sensational story,
was sent hot foot TO see aboutit. He came
back pretty late, took the only type writer
that wasn I in use, and ratified the story
off as fast as he could make his fingers
hit the keys. / don't believe he even LOOKED
at the manuscript, but he thought it would
be all right, because he is one OF these

is exquisite, and this capital French
model, by enterprising American dress
makers, is copied in blue muslin, OF pale

and the collar and waIstband done In iris

With color alone, just as important are
many arrangements In fabrics, piquet and
velvet, grass linen and satin brow n canvas
and delicate lisse, French crepe and tweed
being all united In the worthy cause Of

"A very good example of what has been
hitherto considered an impossible con-
trast is shown alongside the hostess

figure Illustrates lovely afternoon lawn

French serge, deliberately braided in cream
silk cords. Within the Innings are made
of bright rose silk, and the bolero is edged
with a fine ruching of rose-sinted taffeta,
where 1t opens to show a full chenIisette
OF Valenciennes lace.

If a child is dressed in everyday
clothes" and does not know it is going
to have its picture taken, the chances are
in favor of a good likeness: AMI plain
clothing is not only better for the child,
but it photographs better A look of hap
piness ard contentment is all the adorn-
ment any child requires, childhood itself
being far more attractive than finery
''You see," says the up-to-date photog-
rapher, there are really no rules to he
gwen about posing children, because it
should never be done" The only important
thing is to let Child be happy in its
own pretty way, and if the Photographer
is an artist he will do the rest.
A simple rule about colors is to avoid
them entirely Dress child all in white,
and the PHOTOGRAPHER Will have chance
to do his best for You
Black and all dark colors take less
clearly and add to the artists work in
finishing proofs Red and bright blue are
no better, and yellow is not popular. Pale
green photographs look well, as do bright
pink, ciel blue and lavender, especially
pinkish lavender; but white is the best of
all, and every child is bound to have one

drawn, each one edged with narrow black
lace, and each fastened at the top of the
| rich black taffeta girdIe with a skeleton
button OF cut steel.
The nearest rival to the study in black
and white is the picturesque little suit
in tie laIge sketch, illustrating the best
use OF narrow black velvet ribbon On
white lawn. Over a white, rose, green
or blue silk slip this gown can be used,
ami its hat of white chip, enveloped in
masses of black silk muslin, make it,
from top TO toe, costume entirely with
in the achievement Oh amateur fingers,
If need be.
There is a most commendable custom
followed this season, at teas and tourna
nents, of wearing short and perfectly
plain walking skirts Of brown linen, white
duck or stiff dark blue piquet, with pretty
blouses of ec,u lace or cafe au lait ernbIoi-
dery that have underbodies of bright col
ored china silk. The lace or embroidery
blouse rastens Up on the left side, is caught
in at the waist by a belt of elastic gilt
studded with mock Jewels and hips
frill of lace hangs out below the belt. A
bright ribbon forms the collar, and, with
flower hat, costume at once smart and
inexpensive is the result.
Yet another picturesque fancy, adopted
by the younger women, is that of wearing
with duck and linen, or tweed skirts, even,
shirU-waists OF the softest white null,
the bosoms frilled and tucked, and over
the skirts little scarlet silk boleros, that
are cut very short in the back. The half
tailor-made guests on the lawn invariably
carry long-handled parasols, covered with
most brilliantly striped plaid silks, while
in the butt end of every long stick is fds-
tened powerful eyeglass or q followed
space with a gilt top holds coinfits or
smelling salts.
In spite of the variation of fashion in
favor of many new materials, orthodox
womankind still clings to the idea of or
candle for warm weather teas, open air
fairs and the like, and it is well the old
love for this charming material is not for
got No sweeter gowns are to be imagined
than the sheer Organdies of this season,
figured in novel patterns, not so often of
flowers and conventional designs as OF
idealiZed liliputian fruits. The newest
of the new are exquisitely figured in thy
punches Of white, dark red and crimson
cherries, In wild Strawberries, and their
leaves and flowers, in apple blossoms and
red apples, and not least in loveliness are
those showing wreaths of purple and
green grapes and little panniers filled with
assorted fruits.
In effect these are as decorative as the
lowered muslins, and in their makeup the
skirts are invariably elaborately treated.
Lace IS either set on in many flounces or
let in in wide and narrow insertion, out
lining the well-known Greek key pattern.
A last refuge from the wholly common
place has been taken by the dressIEakeT In

their beautiful mother. from whom they
undoubtedly inherit their love of SPORTS
Little Jack Webb, who will in time be
one of the beaux of the Four Hundred, is
another fearless little sportsman, who if
he is photographed at all prefers to have
it out of doors amid familiar scenes. An
excellent photograph OF this really lovely
child is taken on board tiny steam yacht
Clad in Yachting flannels, he stands at the
helm, contented, roguish and charningly

is To actually interest the children; not
merely that they should handle the tools
and the book 10 order, but that they should
really play and read until the surround
iigs are forgotten, and then there Will be
no need to worry about the expression.
or course this method OF photographing
children necessitates more time on the
part Of the artist and more patience on
the part of the mother, but IT is the only
possible way to secure an accurate like
hess of child and is wen worth the
extra time and money.
The process Of instantaneous photography
which is being taken up by all pro-
gressive photographers, especially artists
who make a srecialty OF doing children,
does away with all necessity of remain
ing motionless before the camera mure than
q few seconds, so that the most fleeing
expression can be caught and reproduced,
and often when the child Is entirely uncon-

A Convenient Belt.

A convenient form of ribbon belt, that
is always ready to put on. without any
pinning or tying, is made of two lengths
of ribbon laid in folds The ribbons cross
at each side and form a point in the
front and back. To make the belt, take
three whalebones five inches long and
two lengths of ribbon each little longer
than the waist measure. Sew one whale
bone across the middle of each ribbon
forming the back of the girdle. Cross the
ribbons where they would come TO the
sides when around the waist, and sew
whalehones to each end, forming point
in front like that at the back. Sew four
hooks and eyes on the front whalebones,
and the belt is ready to put on at mo
ment's notice. Narrow ribbon should be
put on to hide the bones in front and back.
