With nervous haste, Mr.. Bobbleton
rushed into his fiat, where his wife was

she added, with a shade of concern in
her voice, But, Henry, I can't get

"Well, I'll do the best can" replied
Mrs. Bobbleton in resigned sort Of
way. But for goodness sake, Henry,
don't put everything off until the last
minute. We want to have the two
trunks packed without delay
"And SO they will be- answered Mr..
BoDbleton. THE baggage expressman
will be here at o'clock in the morning
for the trunks. I'll pack my trunk

I'm mighty thankful that the wash
came to-day said Mrs. Bobbleton, as
they sat down in their little dining
room. Wen have enough clean
clothes to last us, anyhow"
Eyes, that'e nice" replied Bobbleton.
Immediately after dinner Mr.. Bobble-
ton went into his room. For the next
hour or two Mrs. Bobbleton heard him
slamming around, upsetting things and
muttering to himself.

Early the next morning the express

THE COLUMBIA AND DEFENDER

The prettiest and most exciting point
of the trial was when the big sloops
came together, with sheets Fat aft on
the starboard tack. right aoreast of
jamestown. Skipper Charlie Barr was
at the wheel. and the Columbia held
the weather position by about two hun
dred yeards. Rolling his wheel hard
up" Barr. brought the Columbia straight
down for the weather quarter of the
Defender. Down went the helm in less
than minute, and the new sloop shot
almost alongside her sister ship. Then
taking position with her bowsprit
just tapping the Defenders weather
quarter the race began.
Foot by foot the Columbia gained on
her rival. until in seven minutes she
had passed out clear ahead by nearly a
length. That was the test that all had
been waiting for. and it was one of
great value to the Columbia's designer.
1t proved TO him in a few moments
that his work had not been in vain;
that the Columbia was a better boat
than his former Observation-Disclosures.
When the Columbia was launched
on the evening of June 10 there were
many predictions as to when her first
trial spin would take place. Some said
a week, others placed the limit at ten
days. Nat Heereshoff, her designer,
promised nothing, but put all his men
at work to spar and rig the yacht
c. Oliver Iselin, her managing owner,
was impatient. He wanted the yacht
week after her launch. "She shall
not leave here until she's ready" Herr
shelf said to friend, and he kept his
word
The Columbia made her debut-so to
speak-in a most expensive suit of
tight-fitting sales, on the morning of
the fifteenth day after her launching,
and when she made her first tack. At
$3.50 that morning the critics agreed
that she was in better trial trip form
than any of her predecessors.
No better fitting mainsail has ever
been set, for the first time, on any of
the big sloops. The fore-staysail set
badly at first, but the looseness of the
leach near the head was remedied dur
ing the trip by tautening it up. The

which run diagonally, like a jib-

The process Of curling woman's hair

Usually at 5 o'clock tea is served on
the veranda. The crowd there and
then is in that lazy, languid state
which follows exertion in summer and
is ready to be amused, nay, thankful
to anyone who will afford them some
thing to laugh and talk about. There

NEWPORT STYLE.
Newport has ventured upon style
of after-dinner hair dressing which is
almost sensationally picturesque. The
fancy probably can be traced to Mary
Anderson's evening bonnets. On her
recent visit to New York she wore at
the theater, and wherever it was usual
to cover the head in the evening, little
toQues, which were outlined with
wreaths of roses. The simple beausy
of this arrangement appealed imme-
diately to the fancy of feminine New
Workers.
Her countrywomen had the grace to
let their, Mary depart for her adopted
country before copying her fancies. The
wreath toque was peculiarly becoming
to Mrs. Navarros classical beauty.
But it fits we'll over the brows Of wo-
men of fashion. The hair is fluffed
with the wreath toque as fully as for
high dressing Some Of the trans
formations now used are made with
two divisions of curled hair. One is
to lay against and over the wearer's
own locks, the other to fluff over those
under wayings.
For fire use the rat has gone out.
A thick roll of naturally curly hair
has taken it's place. The wearer's own
hair, thin line of it around the entire
head, is combed over the roll. and
blends with it. so that there is no dis

Then he retained the hands in his

: and the identifying headdress are so
nearly identical as at this time. The
irregular fiuffiness of the midsummer
charmingly frames the feminine face.
Fluffiness being, then, the necessary
means toward picturesque end, 1t be-
comes a question of how to effect that
end. Masculine objection to any known
proonui n hair curling for the moment
should be forgotten. Straight hair. day
in and day out, must become curled
hair.
Recent fancies in headdressing have
developed the fringe. Not the bang of
troublesome memory. but an irregular
fall of short-waved ends on the brow.
The coiffeurs call these stray locks
kiss curls," and thus they are spoken
of in feminine fashionable retirement.
~ Aly, ones bang is fringe, should
Il be, which is unlikely, any occa-
zion to mention it. The fringe is curled
best on irons, unless-but that is later
subject.
Notwithstanding the reversion to
forehead fringe which must be ar
ranged with care. perhaps with arti-
fetal help, the waving of the long front
and back hair is of special moment.
1t yet is essential that the entire outer

far for figure, the effect sought is ma

has deigned to curl.
THE PINS THE THING.
The pin which best produces these
desirable undulations resembles sill
yer hairpin, except that it is stouter,
and has a stem from the center in
which a small hot iron may be insert
ed when it is desired TO wave the hair
quickly. Ordinarily these pins-thev
are ten cents the box, including iron
are best worn at night. The hair is
spared the trial OF neat.
To make these pins slightly, even
becoming, the sides may be wound with
baby ribbon, and bows should be tied
at the top and bottom. / do not mind
admitting that | thought out this plan
of decorating curling pins for a fash
ionable and knowing bride.
Even with the help Of the drawing
OF fastening the ribbons securely so
the idea may be puzzling for a moment.
The only matters which need be con-
sidered with especial care in connec-
ton with decorating the pins are those
that they shall not come united. And
the second, that of making just the
prettiest bows possible.
OF course it may be advisable to have
several sets of these trimmed pins to
match the ribbons in ones lingerie.
The comb makers are finding out
that the side and back combs they have
been turning out frequently do not fit
women's heads, and they are doing
better in the way of providing shaped
affairs which curve where the human
skull does. They have taken years to
learn this, and that leads me to believe
that there is an opening for women in
the designing department of the estab-
lishments which produce implements
which women way arrange their locks.
A clever woman, before she turned
out articles by the gross for specified
use, would find out whether they were
the best things which could be made
