Orange shirts.

The suggestion of a long time resi-
dent of India that orange colOred shirts
are one of the best projections against
the suns rays might be taken advan-
tage of here in the dog days. The
statement is founded upon a fact
known to every photographer, amateur
or professional, who has covered the
cracks of his dark room with orange
paper or linen. The rope sandals of
the orientals are another excellent hot
weather belonging. They are, of
course, not intended for city street
wear, but are gratefully cool for house
use-Ncw York Post.

He Objected to the Sailor HIT.

A funny story is told in Paris Of
Kansas City girl who was studying art. 1t
happened several years ago, but has not
lost its interest even now In the Latin
quarter For some occult reason or mex
plicable whim the masculine students dis
approved of the sailor hats worn by the
English and American girls and made
themselves generally obnoxious by rude
comments. One day the Kansas City girl
was going to her little room from the ate
lier where she studied. In one hand she
carried a portfolio, in the other tightly
rolled umbrella. After time she was
followed by a sallow youth, whom she
recognized as a poet and leader in the
warfare upon sailor hats. He followed
her block after block, loudly expressing
his disapproval of the hat she wore, until
she became exasperated beyond endur'
ance, especially as his objections took the
form of paper and bread balls thrown at
the offending chapeau. Turning suddenly,
but calmly, in front Of large cafe she
asked sweetly, "Am to understand that
you desire me to remove my hat, mon

and lean of aspect, answered unhesitat'

CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.

Men Who Manage the Republican

Amid the blare of trumpetS, the dis

output of political literature the Amer
lean presidential campaign moves and
has its being. The average voter sees
and hears these things without emo
ton besides his partisan feeling, for
they represent to him only the effort to
attract his vote. He does not usually
stop to learn the enormous outlay OF
money and brain power necessary to
produce these results.
Campaign literature particularly is @
feature that deserves consideration. In
no other country do the abstract ques-
tiOns at issue receive so much attention
as in the United States. The national
committees know that if the Ameri-
can voter is once convinced of the JUS
tice of their contentious his sympa-
thies will be enlisted and his vote gain

abuse plays so very small part in our
campaigns. The astute political man

Autumn Millinery.

Millinery is rich in the extreme. The
most beautiful velvets, heavy with
,old embroideries or rich with incrus-

haped turbans and large picture hats.
jrowns roll up good deal to show
lunches of ostrich tips against the

laced by the most vivid and brilliant
olors-royal purple. the medium blues

of barrels have been trapped. many
have been taken ia the g.l nets. but
the torch and dip Net have played
great havoc with the shining backed
fishes. The taking of fresh ht0-inS in

son in such large numbers brought
thousands OF dollars TO the trapmcn,
and because of their cheapncss and
quick delivery hundreds OF vessels have
been b2ited up. sent 10 the fishing
grounds and brought in on quick trips

TO the surface of the water dates away
back. The Boston. SwampScott and
South Shore fishermen have dipped

the torch for 80 years. as we'll as the

about this seasons business is the dip

the use Of the torch. There have been
few spawn herrings taken in this way.
