Where the presence of any kind OF

After such an experience a course of cod

turned and attached fatty to the hat.
An American girl in Pau begged me. when
! went back to Paris. to try to find her
an English sailor hat with a narrow
brim. The English girl never changes
the style of her sailor hat, She said. She
never wears anything but a narrow
brim.
This is an absolutely mistaken idea.
All rhe English sailors this year have
comparatively broad brims. AT Cannes
the colored sailor is all the rage-yellow,
green, and so on-worn with white serge
dresses. White serge will be more seen
this year than ever; skirts made with the
shaped ruffle, worn with coats or with
Sc parate blouses. At Biarritz we went
one day to a large fancy bazaar under
the patronage of Princess FREDERICK of
Hanover, to see If we could not send you
some new IDEAS for hazaars and church
fairs. But there seemed to be nothing
new under the sun. although this, largely
arranged by British fingers. was far more
attractive than anything we see in Paris.
The prettiest thing about it was the
flower table, which was not a table at
all, but an enormous wire arrangement
for holding cut flowers not arranged
into bouquets. and blooming plants. The
girls selling wore white serge skirts and
blouses all made after the same idea. The
material was VIA we call in France

flowers, and the whole effect was charm

Addressing athletic women in the May
Ladies Home Journal, Edward w. Box
has some sensible suggestions regarding
their costumes, and presents them very
forci5Iy. 1--WE need only look at some

roads and through our streets, with
skirts too short for a well-grown child

what 4 vulgar extent this abuse has
been carried" he says. For a woman to
be comfortable at her athletics she must
