vers extending from neck to belt, dis
playing a vest of poppy red silk en-
| broidered in white anchors. A soft
! sash belt goes twice about the waist, is
fastened to the left side with a flag
shaped buckle, releasing one flowing
end, and puckered into a rosette, with
three or four jingly buttons making
music at every step. I almost forgot to
say the burlap is mounted on a red lin
ing, which shows through the meshes
of the material. A red yachting cap
with white band and black patent
leather visor would go well with 1t,
though there is disposition to elimi-
nate every sort of headgear except
stitched duck hats. What an excellent
opportunity to use your collection OF
ex-fieet captains buttons should you
decide upon a suit like the one just de-
scribed. Why don't you? Tom won't
care-if he doesn't know-and that
you'll manage. -...
Now l must tell you of that other
class composing the picturesque gowns
for sea use which are donned by the
indoor girl when she goes a-yachting.
One and all of these gowns will sweep
the deck ten inches or more. No char
acteristics of the prevailing modes viii
be overlooked, and the only reason
you'd have for suspecting such girl
was not gowned for a garden party is
the concession she makes in wearing
stout shoes and decorating herself in
yachting emhlems and brass buttons.
A French frock of this latter sort. which
queened ii over the model room, is made
of white linen. Every seam of the skirt
is hemstitched and trails for half a
yard. The square cut bolero jacket is
of alternating linen strips and embroid
cry Joined by hemstitching. which is
worn over q lingerie blouse or all over
lace bodice. Colored linens are equally
attractive. exhibiting always a tenden-
cy toward lace and embroidery decora-
tions. A very CHIC costume of black
pique has a strictly tailor made skirt,
with the SmarteSt short coat lined with
white taffeta and introducing the new
est cut mediCi collar. II seems so
strange women should take to wearing
the high collars in this warm weather,
but no coat is up to date without the
outstanding semicircle framing the back
of the head. Another novelty to which
you may take kindly is the soft felt
sombrero, with an aggressive quill or
two and a folded scarf, which you
change as often as you go to Larch-

to those utilized by the various yacht

TO the international cup race, in which

For bathing dresses the best ma

gets heavy and soggy. The lint from
the wooden garments. too. comes off

Those who care for the complexion
should. before going into the water,
apply some reputable cold cream to
the skin: also on coming out OF the
surf. The care Of the skin should be
more unremitting in summer than in
winter, as the rays of the sun have a
deleterious action.

is an infinitely more difficult task than
merely handling the tiller on a quiet
cruise. Most of the other men agreed
he was right. We girls were just as
good fellows as the men-spun yarns,
simulated an interest in every old sea
dog we encountered, besides keeping tab

influence of which the last prejudice to
women sailors disappeared.
To return to the subject of clothes, /
think l must first classify them, as
there are two separate and distinct
yachting brands on the market. First
comes the usual variety Of serge and
flannel garments, presumably appro-
pirate for withstanding sea breezes and
salt spray. These are designed for the
genuinely nautical women who can
haul. reef and steer with the precision
OF an "A. B." and enjoy the practical
side of yachting. One Of the prettiest 1
saw. which l should advise an enthu-
siast like yourself to purchase, is of
bright blue basket flannel. In building
the suit the maker omits the trailing
skirt and provides the jauntiest Elton
coat imaginable, which fits snugly over
white duck blouse, bagging in real
"Fauntleroy" fashion. This style is be-
coming TO only a svelte figure like your
own and is natty in the extreme. A
large sailor collar with group tucks has
a flowing silk tie twice knotted at the
throat and belt, which supplies the
faintest suspicion of the eternally fem
mime. Don't fail to commission some
one. dear, to order one in scarlet and
white for you. l don't know why a
striped Galatea cloth suit of red. white
and blue shouldn't be dubbed 1.-The CO.

consistent and resembles Old Glory not
a little. The skirt is of the tricolored

please that husband of yours. for he is
said to be the most ultra American be-
longing to the Sea Gate colony.

something really fetching and original
for you to wear when the first trial race
comes off. I've found ii. 1t is made of

There seems to be no limit TO the
aspirations Of the ambitious Sara
Bernhardt. First she made herself a
theatrical manager and now she has
been making herself a man.
One Of the most remarkable theat-
rical events OF the year has been the
appearance in Paris and London OF
the divine Sara as Hamlet. When
one considers the particular vices and
virtues of the youthful hero Of
Shakespeare's greatest tragedy the fit

ment Mrs. Jewell is not a proper person

MES. Jewell, submitted several aliidaNits
from persons who are acquainted with Mrs
Jewell stating that the reverse of what
Mrs. Fleck had stated We're the facts. and
that Mrs. Jewell was a good mother and
that 1t was eminently proper that she
should be permitted 10 visit her children.

mated by the management of the home, out
