The skirt was straight in front, circle

To accompany this smart gown,
which was of the summer girl, girly,
was blue and white checked straw
hat with a dropping brim. Its trim
mings were blue myrtle flowers, silver
gauze in unlimited quantities. blue and
white ostrich feathers, blue and emer-

There was also a parasol, which re-
called the shape Of the fashionable
skirt, with its tight-ftting upper part
and full nounces. The very shallow
frame was covered with white satin
and from this depended three hounces,
one upon the other; the lowest being
of blue chiffon, the next Of white chif-
fon and the top one of white net, with
ruche of blue ribbon at its edge. The

were fastened by pink and white
cameo buttons. The bodice had a deep
vest of green satin, lace covered and
framed in lace and green ribbons A
certain originality Of effect emphasized
the gowns other attractions.
Item, q costume Of gray chiffon over
foundation Of green glace. The deep
bottom founce was outlined by three
rows Of pulling, which were carried in
a point over the hips, giving certain
/, illusion Of height to the figure. The
frilled and frothy bodice had an odd
zouave effect Of putting and trimming
Of lace applique over the shoulders. A
long lace sash was tied round the waist
and fell to the floor behind.
To this gown belonged hat that was
pretty to look at, IL it did not altogether
escape the universal fault of overload
ing. The fine leghorn straw was bent
over the face but rounded up in white
tulle, showing cloudily through black
spotted lace. In front was large steel
ornament from which started out on
each side a long dropping gray and
white ostrich feather. The brim, which
was lined with black, turned up behind
with flower bed Of roses.
The swathing effect that most hats
are showing is managed by some mil,
liners, it may be remarked, with an ex-
aggerated puffiness that reminds one of
nothing so much as big Moham-
medan's yards upon yards of white cot
ton turban.
A simpler gown that have seen with
in day or two was Of the "skiest" of
sky-blue challie with white satin dots.
The bodice was cut with crossing
fronts. which, carried round the waist
were prolonged in hanging sash ends.

Yet another use for the.X ray has

the rays destroy the cpidermis, he de-
termined to apply them In cases of skin

plates, which are impervious to the

Tennessee MOuntaineer Who Knew

One day when had been stopping
with Uncle John Wharton, up in the
mountains of East Tennessee, for u
week, to get we'll of sprained ankle, l
mounted q mule to ride to the nearest
village to make some purchases. When
was ready to start the old man said
to ME:

wimen folks yo' needn't I'M nd how
much yo' CAB, but if it's men folks then

but what need look out for?" l
asked.

He'll go on and ax II don't keep purity

it's the pure corn juice and good 'nuif

that the jug holds TO gallon and is al.

"rve always found it about full" l
said. 1T is no ones business, how
ever, as far as l can see."
That's what say. but them pack
peddlers is chuck full OF curiosity. Ar
ter akin about the jug he'll want to
know If you've seen any kegs around.
He'll slide along from that to obsarve
that con whisky has u mighty Gurus

he kin smell it foty rods oil. How you
goln' to answer that?"
I'll have to tell him that l never

"Yes, that's what yo'll say, but he'll
try to sell yo' combs or terbncker and
kinder git around to AK If l don't sleep
most of the day and stay out nights.
That'll rayther git yo', wontit?"
II don't see why he should ask me

NO, mebbe not, and yo' don't see
why he should AK yo' what makes the
old woman hang a rag outer the cham

"And if he axes why the ole woman
puts up a basket of purvishions every
night and places it on the doah-stcp?"
Il didn't know that she did. But why
do you think that a stranger will ask
me all these questions?"
well, if he's really and truly pack
peddler he won't AK yo' none OF 'em,
but will jest say: 'HowdyY and pass
