this morning is q fair example OF the
best type of yachting dress for short
spin on a sunny morning.
1t was built OF blue and white striped
linen, the clever arrangement OF the
stripes showing of to advantage on
the plain, beautifully hanging skirt,
which was finished with 4 Z stitched
band. repeating the blue of the stripe,
a similar decoration appearing on the
sailor collar and the deep cuffs Of spot
ted silk.
No more plquant headgear could be
imagined than the trim little yachting
cap in blue and white, "a combination
Of colors which was repeated in stock
ings and low shoes.

severe smartness and simplicity of a
few months ago. Prettincss Is now the
rule and appropriateness must take
its chances.
By the way, the prettiest garden
party frock ! have seen of late was
of creamy white muslin. with u milk
white satin stripe lowered with hy-
drangeas ana foliage. The deep col
lar was turned over with line OF fine
perpendicular lucking that extended
only to the shoulder blades. where the
material opened loosely for the swell
OF the figure. and was nga!n drawn in
at the waist with tuckIng in Swiss belt
style, the lines there being acccntuat-
ed with bands OF. hydrangcn velvet
baby ribbon.
The skirt was mounted on pale yell
low silk and had n frou-frou OF n.y.
drangea frilllngs and soft lace at the
hem. That was d typical dress for the
fluffy girl of 1900.

some 1mpudent Questions. y
Chicago Chronicle; In n charming
little fourth floor:Hat a young married
couple took up housekeeping few
weeks ago This Hat is on the South
Side in fashionable nelghborhood, but
the boys In the block are not angels.
Therein lay the trouble. 81
At first everything went as happily
| as a wedding bell. Every morning Mr..
Newlywed nffectionately kissed Mrs.
Newlywed good-by In full view OF the
neighbors and the relghbors' sons. At
first neither the nelghbors nor the boys
paid much Hattention to the matutinal
performances, but before long the
open-air exhibitions were looked for
ward to, and among the married men
OF the neighborhood bets were daily
placed on the number OF kisses that
would be exchanged before Mr.. Newly
wed could remove his ywife's arm from
his neck and escape to the car.
II got to be n great Joke. The boys
took 1t into their heads that much fun
could be derived by. whistling up the
tube to the Newlywed fiat and asking
silly questions. This continued for some
time until one evening Mr.. hNewlywed
came home and found Ills wife In tears.
He soon learned the cause for the fit OF
weeping. The boys had worried little
Mrs. Newlywed until she could stand It
no longer, and unless something were
done she would go home to mamma.
etc. as
There was no sense In complaining to
the parents Of the young rascals. Mr..
Newlywsd knew. no parents would be-
lieve their angelic youngsters guilty Of
such u trick, and thsre was little
chance for remedytng matters by COM
planning to the police. Just what to do
was the question.
Long after Mrs. Newlywed had gone
sobblng to bed Mr.. Newlywed sat and
thought and smoked, and before finish
ing his last pipe. the smile that spread
over his face showed that some solu-
ton OF the trouble had been reached.
The next day little Fauntleroy Simp-
son. dear little fellow. his mother
said, blew loudly up the speaking tube
to flat No. 4. He had his mouth, which
his mother thought resembled cher

there was an ominous rattle. Little

not yet patched up.
