After events prove it. How does she know? She hasn't your brain, she hasn't your experience, but she has a wonderful something, God given, which in dogs we call in- stinct It is better than all learning, than all the experience ever gained in great universities or in travelling over the world.
 But, there, intended to tell you about the new linen suits, for, being smart little woman, you want to be properly dressed for the summer. You run in from Larchmont or Tuxedo or some other handy place to go to a roof gar- den with Jack or Tom or that other dear boy what is his name? You can't bring a dress suit case this time, and you mustn't be overdressed at a roof garden or when dining at French table d'hote. Consequently you put on the duckiest of duck gowns, and when the special man sees you he thinks, Was there ever?' and forgets how old the world is.
 You wear a duck gown which is of salmon pink. The skirt Is laid in close plaits, so that as you move every curve of your beautiful body shows. Each group of plaits is lined with black braid, and each braid terminates about one- quarter of yard above the edge of the skirt under black gutta percha butt ton, so that there is just flare enough to make your properly shod feet dance in and out in fascinating fashion. Your bodice has blouse front laid in plaits and trimmed with braid and but tons, while a square opening just in the center shows cunning little white marseilles plastron. About your round waist is crush belt of cardinal vel vet, and under your chin above the high collar flares the usual French bow, which in this case is of red chiffon
 If anybody thinks that this charming girl went to the roof garden and the French table d'hote. with the dearest fellow in the world without chaperon, he is mistaken. It is true that the chaperon was two years younger than she, but still her visiting cards had Mrs" on them.

 There was another girl in the party whose gown was so absolutely fetching that for little while the other two wo men were rather nasty to her, but aft CT something to fetch ub their appetites they grew civil.

 One must be ruff1ed or counted out of fashion, and then one might as well be out of the world. Skirts are ruffied up to an IS inch waist sometimes up to a 4S inch one, and then the effect is that of pillow with string tied around it. But the woman who has not a sufficient number of ducats to have ruffied skirt turns up her piquant lit- tie nose, declares that ruffied skirts are common and ruffles her sash. This can be done more cheaply, but it is equally effective. For long time sashes were in disrepute. They were given over. as it were, to babes and stockings, but just now the trimmed sash, with it's inno- cent looking little belt hugging the place that you would like to put your arm around, is the thing" Lots of pretty belongings are "the thing,' with the tiny little article slurred over, but when it comes to emphasizing the aforesaid article then, if you are femi- nine, you have it or from a social standpoint you die.
 Years ago, when you and I were inno- cent little tots and knew nothing of the troubles of this world, we wriggled and twisted while our fond mothers tied us up as far as our healthily big waists permitted in broad blue sashes with two leops and two ends. Such a sash is not recf gnized nowadays.
 The fashionable sash when it is not ruffied, and everybody knows what a rufled sash is, has it's end trimmed with fringe or lace, and it's bow, must be made (being feminine. you know there is a difference between a made bow and a tied bow) after one of four fashions. The first is a gauge ribbon.

The second is lovely brocade ribbon, with two loops backed by short forked ends with strass buckle in the center and long ends that are forked and tipped with pearl fringe.

Carried Hose Up Sixteen Stories.

Several thousand people watched
Carl Eldfeldt and Patrick Hickey,
members of Truck No. l, carry lead
of hose from q chemical engine up six
teen stories on the fire escape Of the
Monadnock Building in Chicago re-
Gently. As the two fremen neared the
top of their perilous ascent up the
slender iron ladder the crowd cheered.
Most of ths spectators thought it was
an exhibition drill, but the arrival OF
more fire apparatus and the appear
ance at all the upper windows Of
anxious-looking tenants soon unde-
ceived them. The enthusiasm of the
crowd again demonstrated itself when
the last platform at the sixteenth
story window was reached and the two
truckmen disappeared into the build
ing. The $50 feet of hose had been
carried up to the top of the building
in less than two minutes. The fire
occurred in the storerooms Of an cleo
trio switch manufacturing concern on
the seventeenth floor. Many OF the
tenants of the building, however,
knew nothing of the fire for some time
after. On each floor of the building
leads of hose are connected directly
with the house pumps. The fire was
practically out when Truckmen Ed
feldt and Hickey appeared with their
line from the chemical, and they fin
ished the job in short order. 1t took
every inch of the $50 feet of hose the
chemical carried to reach the blaze,
and this was done only by getting it
up on straight line by the fire es-
cane. Chicago Inter-Oceau.

Experiments With Broad Tires.

In order fully to test the relative
merits of broad and narrow tires, an
agricultural college in Missouri has
been making some experiments with
the two. 1t has been demonstrated
that on reasonably good roads broad
tires have an advantage of from six
teen to forty five per cent. over narrow
tires. In no case except where the
mud was soft and very deep did the
narrow tires prove more satisfac ory.
According to these tests, the narrow
tire is desirable only when roads are
in state almost impossible, con-
ditlon Of things which is fast disap-
pearing from thickly settled and we'll
managed districts. The experiments
were made with the same wagon, the
wheels being exchanged by merely
slipping them from the spindles. The
loaded wagon weighed go pounds
more with the wide tires than with the
narrow ones, making the weight of
the vehicle when equipped with the
wide tires 22J0 pounds. On clean,
smooth road of macadam the wide
tires required from sixteen to thirty
five per cent. less power than the
narrow ones. On gravel roads the
broad tires had forty-fye per cent
advantage; on loose gravel and dirt
roads as we'll as on roads entirely of
compacted soil, the gain was some
thing like twenty-seyen per cent. On.
a piece of road where there was
solid foundation, but very deep, thick
mud above, the broad tires were at
disadvantage, mainly because they
cut in and picked up tremendous
weight of mud with every revolution.
On a road that was drying up and had
q somewhat firm surface the broad
tires showed siyty-two per cent. adj
vantage over the narrow ones. The
latter cut into the mud in some places
from six TO seven inches. but the wide
tires rolled safely over without making
deep grooves, merely packing the
haIf-drv mud as they passed over it.
The entire experiment goes to show
that narrow tires have really no points
Of advantage. save at exceptional
times and under exceptional condi-
tions. On what would be considered
q road in q tolerable condition the
broad tires had every point in their
favor, and demonstrated their superb
ority so clearly that 10 room was left
for doubt o. question.
