THE WeLL-oREssE0 GIRL.
HINTS FOR HER GUIDANCE WHEN
CHOOSING HER SUMMER ATTIRE.

White holds first rank this summer,
as it did last, for children, young girls
and young women, and for older ones
also when combined with black.
White lawn gowns this year are
trimmed with dainty hemstitched or lace
trimmed rufiies upon the skirts, the
waists being tucked and hemmed, with
embroidered or lace insertion set in.
White and colored wash silk shirt
waists made like ordinary cotton ones
will be much worn this season.
Wide sashes of soft ribbon used as
belts and ending with long ends coming
to the edges of the skirts, are to be used
with summer gowns.
Collars arc made from two to three
inches deep and over foundations that
may be bought in all sizes. AS rule
the collar is made of the dress material
and trimmed as the waist is.
Many of the parasols this season are
of striped silk in white colors, and many
others are of plain black and the dark
shades. The sticks are long, and as a
rule are less ornate than they were a
wear ago.

CONTENTION OVER OPENINGS.

A controversy arising from the difference OF
opinions expressed by Fillsbury the winner OF last
weeks master tournament at Buffalo and John F.
Barry. OF Boston The noted cable match player,
regarding the relative merits OF two variations OF
the Ruy Lopez opening. bids fair 20 lead up to an
interesting and desirable contamination. This, in
short is nothing more or less than match be-
tween these experts for the purpose OF testing the
lines Of play IN question. Barry, in writing the
analysis OF a game, has out hatfooted with
the announcement that he considers weak a
standard variation, which, incidentally. has the
Endorsement of such players Lasker and Tar
rasch. besides Pillsbury. These are the moves:
l. P-K4, P-K4; .. Kt-KB3, Kt-QB3 g. 3"B--Kt5,
Kt-BS Gnown as the Berlin Defence); T. Castles.
There have probably been as many games played
on these lines all the other lines Of the Ruy
Lopez put together; and Barrys statement, that
the last move mentioned above namely, Castles
is weak is the least, startling Instead of
this move, the Boston man declares, White should
substitute l. P-Q 4, continuation that the Amer
lean genius. Morphy-now, OF course, considered
10 be somewhat out Of date-was partial 20. New
ertheless. writer's and analysts have given It prac-
tcaliy attention. IN letter 20 a friend Pills
bury made light Of Barry's contention and this
coming 10 the latter's he wrote the cham
pion, saying that he had analyses at mis- COM
mand the result of five years examination and
study with which he could substantiate what he
had said
He declined 10 divulge this analysis. however on
the ground that he was writing a book and, fur
thermore that II would be wise do so for the
reason that some time other he might put his
knowledge TO good by winning cable match
game with IL, for instance. While this sounds quite
plausible, it will not satisfy the chess playing pub
lie as regards the soundpess OF Barrys views, and
the players are likely TO adhere to the old line of
play until such time Ba--y sees fit 10 unload his
secret Just here Pillsbury again steps in and sug
Sests capital out OF the difficulty by
to play Barry match, either the customary
plan limited the Ruy Lopez and the two vari-
ations thereof referred TO. In interview al
Buffalo Psbury stated that he would be willing 10
play Castles - all the games wherein he had the
white pieces, n Barry VIII agree to take
chances with l. P-Q whenever he is playing
White
Inasmuch as. from Barry's standpoint, Pilsbury
! is handicappng himself severely in such contest
and his playing with the American champion would
give him more eclat than any chance victory he
might pick up with the analysis he has up his
sleeve the New -Enelander must either accept the
terms proposed or recede from the position he has
taken. AT any rate, he cannot expect be taken
correctness of his assertion. II is quite possible
that II this restricted match is played IL may lead
/ 10 another for the championship of America. for
Barry is considered fit candidate for that honor
