seaside and mountain resorters come
down to dinner and dancing in pique
skirts that touch the floor behind and
that are fancifully adorned by insets of
open-work embroidery With such a
skirt an all-over embroidery bodice,
high-necked and long-sleeved, button
ing up behind,or a very elaborate white
chiffon waist, or one all tucks and her
ring-boning and crystal buttons, of fair
taffeta, or a decollete cream lace body,
are any one of them perfectly sweet
and suitable. To dinners and small
dances at private houses the younger
element at a summer resort go arrayed
In such artless simplicity pinning big
bows of white tulle in their hair, sling
ing small fans or chains of white coral
or crystal beads round their necks. and
leaving gloves to those who know no
better than to wear the shackles of
city fashions during summers free
dom.
Not only is it the fashion from >
sense CT fitness and beauty to dress
thus simply and effectively in white
but women do it from comforts sake
and even wealthy girls boast of the
cheapness and dispatch with which
their pretty suits were procured To
give one example: A girl setting out

skirt was chosen from huge pile Of
ready-made petticoats, and cost SO, and
did not need to have one stitch altered
The shirt was bought at another coun-
ter in the same shop, and cost 81. 30;
there was high collar on the shirt So
a pique necktie was needed, and a
lovely one with a pearl pin in it came
to Is cents, Anyone can add these
items and discover what this simple,
comfortable and unvaryingly becoming
little outfit did cost and the time re-
quired to procure it was 40 minutes II
is now a question whether the most
sternly economical home dressmaking
can beat this.

quickly. Ordinarily these pins-they
are 10 cents the box, including iron
are best worn at night. The hair Is

To make these pins slightly, even be-
coming, the sides may be wound with
baby ribbon, and bows should be tied
at the top and bottom. I do not mind
admitting that 1 thought out this plan
of decorating curling pins for a fash
ionable and knowing bride.
Even with the help of the drawing
the idea may be puzzling for a mo-
ment. The only matters which need
be considered with especial care in con-
nection with decorating the pins, are
those of fastening the ribbons securely,
so 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

All processes pertaining to the fem
mine toilet" said a woman who has
reason to know, should be kept from
men. Give only results to them"
The process of curling woman's hair
proverbially is distressing to men. They
objected to leads as curriers'; to bits of
cloth knotted, to papers, to pins; and
their scorn is directed presently toward
the general use of the heated iron
1t is the exceptional woman whose
hair waves naturally. There is no
single fashionable precedent for a Golf
fure arranged with uncurled locks, Men
are exacting about no item in woman S
appearance more than the modish and
becoming effect of the headdress of
the women in their family.
1t rarely happens that the fashiona-
bic and the beautifying headdress are
SO. nearly identical as at this time. The
irregular Guinness of the midsummer
charminely frames the feminine face.
Fluff1ness being, then, the necessary
means toward picturesque end, it be.
comes a question of how to effect that
end. Masculine objection to any known
process in hair-curling, for the mo-

Publicly, ones bang is a fringe, should
there be, which is unlikely, any occas-
sion to mention it. The fringe is curled

later subject.
Notwithstanding the reversion to a
forehead fringe which must be ar
ranged with care, perhaps with artifi-
cal help, the waving of the long front
and back hair is of special moment. 1t
yet is essential that the entire outer

the supreme court appointed JustieS
David Josiah Brewer. The fifth jurist
selected by the four already mentioned,
is Prof. Maertens, q Russian scholar
whose reputation as an authority on
international law is worldwide. He is
an official of the Russian foreign Office,
professor of international law at the
University Of ST. Petersburg and author
of 'Maertens' Treatise" the standard
book of reference on all the treaties Of
the world. Among the counsel for
Venezuela before the tribunal are ex-
President Benjamin Harrison and ex.
Secretary of the Navy B. F. Tracy.
Whatever the tribunal may decide is
final, and must be considered definite
settlement of all the questions referred
to it by both sides.
The following is brief outline of the
history Of Guiana, the claims of Great
Britain and the arguments of Vene-
zuela:
Sir Walter Raleigh landed in Guiana
near the close of the sixteenth cen
tury, and soon afterward the Neither
lands and France divided with Great
Britain the control of the country. The
English did not succeed in holding
their own in the newly-opened eoun-
try, aud when Raleigh arrived with an
expedition in 1916 TO reassert British
power his forces met with disaster.
Upon his return to England the in
trepid explorer and colonizer was inn
prisoned and executed. During the war
between England, Holland and France
in the seventeenth century Guiana was
taken and retaken several times. What
is now Dutch Guiana was seized by
Great Britain in 1869, but was eeded
back to Holland in exchange for the
Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam,
now New York. In 1903 the province
of British Guiana was acquired by Eng
land, but was not formally ceded by
Holland until 1914. The territory given
up by the Dutch government included
the provinces of Demarara, Berbice
and Esequibo, the river of the latter
name being claimed as the correct
boundary by Venezuela. However, the
boundary between Guiana and Vene-
zuela and between Guiana and Brazil
was never accurately established, and
this fact was the ostensible cause of
the DISPUTE which Is now beinU settled
by the Paris tribunal. incidentally il
might be mentioned that a similar mis-
understanding, based on the same
cause, is now awaiting settlement be-
tween France and Brazil.
Nenezuela's claim that the EseqliIbo
is the legal boundary has been re-
peatedly acknowledged by England,
notably in 1871, when British court

idea seems to be that the operations OF

Of time finds when he desires to rest
that his overweight nerves insist on

expresses itself by an adherence oi

The London Ironmonger hears from
reliable source that the British post Of.
fee authorities, after completing their
inquiry into the subject of extending
the use of cycles, have decided to EN-.
ploy cycles in future on a very large
scale for the collection of letters moi
only in country districts, but also from
the suburbs Of London and other large
towns. 1t is anticipated that the saving
of time effected will far more than out
weigh the extra cost. Large contracts
for the delivery Of suitable machines
will in due course be placed by the post
office officials, and we understand That
these contracts will be confined 10 Brit
ish manufacturers.
