With this dress was worn a little tur-
ban of blue fancy straw, trimmed a little
to n side of the front with a big round
rosette or blue chiffon edged with a straw
Praid. The parasol, of spotted blue silk,
had inserted trimmings of ecru guipure.
Slightly more elaborate was a dress of
white foulard with quaint cherry-colored
figures on it's surface and an entire front
or cream colored lace insertion. The tunic,
which pointed down upon the double
bounced skirt. had perpendicular bands
OF insertion. A black and white chip hat
was worm, turned up with a bunch of
cherries at n side.
But prettiest of all was a soft, seductive
little gown of pavement-gray yelling; the
SKIRT, in the latest sheathlike form but
beautifully cut widening out at the hem
into rows of tucks the bodice tucked also
ana decked with a yellow tulle fichu. The
lovely Lamballe hat all in yellow tulle,
was wonderfully picturesque and effec-
tive, with the brim wide at the sides and
narrow black velvet and huge punches
OF yellow ostrich plumes for trimmings.

Of old, from the days when summer

he added, its not safe to try it except

Nov, yesterday" said the Roman
scarf girl, "out beyond Elberon I passed
a steam road roller. It was strutting up

came into my head was, Sally will be
sure to shy But I slowed her Town and
petted her and steadied her, and we got
by safely, but 1t was a narrow shave.
Sally was nervous and l couldn't blame
her.
And this morning. when I had her
down on the beach, and we were riding
under the bathers' life lines, where the
poles reach away up out of the water at
low tide, Sally ouldn believe the ropes
were high enough for her to dodge under,
and she went bobbing and ducking and
twisting in and out among the puddles
like a rabbit with a fox at his heels.
Then, before she got over her tantrum, IN

should have seen her jerk and wriggle as
the. children scattered over the beach, and
paw the ground like a pony. Sally was
afraid of all that rabble."

Yes" admitted the Roman scarf girl:
"but Sally is as fond of the water as /

The tortise is not an animal one

Twenty-four hours or more before rain
falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for
some convenient shelter. On a bright
clear morning, when not cloud Is to
be seen, the denizens of a tortoise farm
on the African coast may sometimes be
seen heading for the nearest overhang-

down in torrents. sic sign never fais.
This presentation, or whatever you

by habits of living and partly from the
