CARELESS DRIVER
CAUSES ACCIDENT
George E. Beilmere B un Down
by japanese Hickman
and Injured.

George E. Bellmore, living at 1863 For,
street, opposite the school house, was
Fknocked down by the Japanese driver
of hack No. PA yesterday noon near
the corner of King and Bethel streets
and slightly injured. Bellmore, who is
an old and infirm man, was crossing
King street from DimondS store to the
metropolitan meat market, when the
hackman came driving down the street
at rapid gait. Bellmore was in the
path of the approaching horse but as
he is feeble and carries a cane to
steady himself he was unable to jump
out of the way. The hind wheel struck
him and rolled him with considerable
force upon the pavement. The Japa-
nese driver, when he saw the man in
front OF him, did not attempt to rein
in his horse but merely pulled at one
line, only enough to cause the horses
head to be turned but not his body.
Bellmore was picked up and assisted TO
the sidewalk. where restoratives were
applied.
w. e. BiYens was an eye witness of
the affair and he denounces the action
of the hack driver in strong terms.
THAT driver made no attempt to
swerve his horse away from the old
man." said Mr.. Bivens after the acct
dent. They have a habit of riding
straight at person and if that person
doesn't want to get hurt he will have to
jump for his life. They don't take into
consideration that there may be many
of these people whom they try to ride
over who are not able to jump. On the
other hand there axe many blind, lame
and infirm people who have not the
ability to get out OF their way and this
was an instance in point"
The hack driver whipped up his horse
and drove rapidly down King street
toward the railroad depot.

Rainfall Said to Be Affected by Suns
Temperature.
( Al "a recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety, Sir Norman Lockyear and DR.. W.
: J. S. Lockyer presented paper on so
lar Changes of Temperature and Varia-
tions in Rainfall in the Region Sur
rounding the Indian Ocean"
/ From changes that take place period-
cally in the character of the lines in the
spectra of sun spots, as observed during
the last twenty years considered in con-
nection with laboratory experiments
which reveal certain changes in the
character of the spectra of metals with
changes of temperature, the conclusion
his been drawn that the temperature of
the sun varies with the progress of the
eleven-year sun-spot cycle, being the
greatest at the Sun-spot maximum and
lower at sun-spot minimum. The solar
temperature curve, plotted ION this
supposition) from the department of the
spectrum lines, is found to present a GER
tain agreement with curves derived from
the rainfall tables published by the In
dian Government and also with curves
which represent the rainfall of Mauri-
thus. The conclusion reached. concisely
stated, is that the rainfall in both India
and Mauritius is closely associated with
the temperature of the sun, 1.-The plus and
minus conditions of solar temperature"
being accompanied by heavy rains in the
Indian Ocean and the surrounding lands.
These occur generally in the first year
following the mean condition of solar
temperature.
I a deficiency of rain in India is apt to
result in famine. The authors of the
paper have tabulated the famines which
have occurred in India since 1856, and
point out that all these famineS have
occurred at times corroboratory of their
theory. 1T is clear from this table"
they said, that if as much had been
known in 1855 as is known now" the
probability of famines at all the subse-
quent dates indicated might have been
foreseen." The investigation seems to
be one of the most careful that has been
made respecting the connection which
has long been thought to exist between
the suns condition, indicated by its
spots and terrestrial weather

PARIS, June $. 1901.
This is a summer dedicated to the wear
ing of white gowns. The average woman
seems to have arisen to an understanding
of the usefulness of the white frock. for it
reappears in perennial freshness from the
hands of the laundress. FOulards and
white gowns. daintlly constructed organ
dies and fine colored lawns are being worn
for afternoon affairs whenever the age and
complexion of a woman will permit.
In view of this popularity of the white
gown / shall endeavor to describe one
which I noticed in the park last Sunday.
1t was worn by tall. slender woman
whose blond tresses were shaded by a
very wide-brimmed hat crowned with num-
bers of delicately colOred flowers. The
lower part of the skirt was a mass of frills,
over which fell several deep points trim

Belts and sashes are necessary with all
the summer gowns. Those of chiffon or
mousseline de sole in the plain colors,
of brocaded ribbons of the shaded peau
de sole are all equally popular. The fad
is to tie them at one side now instead of
directly at the back, and when ribbon is
used the fringed ends make the best finish.
Crepe de chine frocks are made up for
young girls for evening wear in all the
light colors. The skirts finished with
wide flounces either gathered or accordion
peated, preferably the latter and the
waists in accordion pleats are trimmed
with either lace collar or lace bolero The
cotton crepes also make up well for girls
frocks, and are quite inexpensive, but only
the light colors should be used. 1t is a
mistake at any time for young girls to
wear dark colors excepting in the street,
and either white or light effects are the
most becoming for general wear. White
crepe de chine, however is too old, eX-
cepting for graduation dress or something
of that sort.

WHEN A WOMAN BA1HES
SHE Is RORED IN A WAY THAT
MAKES THE LILIES TURN PALE.
Possible to Look Really Pretty in a
Bathing Costume-ENen for the
Largest Figures.

Written for The Evening Star.
There is no garment in the summer out
fit that requires greater care in the Sc
lection than the bathing suit.
Years ago it was almost an impossi-
bility for woman to look WELL or even
presentable, while indulging in her sea
bath. Little attention was paid to the
cut or fashion of the bathing suit, and the
shapelesS waist, scant skirt and long
boomers were a very trying costume for
even the fairest of women.
Now, however, there is no excuse for
the average woman if she does not at
least present a trim appearance while in
bathing. There are almost as many va
reties of bathing suits as there are ball
gowns. They are made in greater va
rety of material, and their lines are
shaped to conform to the figure of the
wearer.
The following are a few rules which
should be observed in selecting a bathing
costume:
If the figure is inclined to stoutness es-
pecial care should be taken that there
is ample fullness in the skirt. In trim
ming all lines running around the body
should be avoided, and the material
chosen should be Of some dark color. pre-
ferably black or dark blue. Stout women
should invariably wear black stockings.
variety Of styles to choose from. Her
suit may be of wine color. bright blue,
white or striped material. but. whatever
she selects, the woman of taste and re
hnement will avoid anything conspicuous
The faVorite materials this year. as last,
are serge and mohair, though flannel and
duck are also worn. All material should
be well shrunk Eofore being made up.
COld-bIooded people should use either the
serge or the flannel. as they are warmer.
Many, however, wear flannel undcr-vestS
with their mOhair suits. If tights are
worn, boomers of India silk should be
worn over them All bloCmers should be
made with a deep yoke, to avoid the extra
fullneSS around the waist and hips. There
are many ways IF trimming the suits
either with braid, stitched bands or any of
the fancy Persian borders that will stand
the water. All trimming should be laid on
fiat. Flowing SaSheS. bows. etc. while
they look very pretty, become draggIed and
srringy after the first bath. and give the
whole suit a disreputabe appearance.
Infinite varieties of stockings are worn,
but black is always in good taste There
are also many styles of caps and bathing
shoes for those who prefer to wear them.
Select Your Color.
A few of the best models for this years
bathing suits are shown in the Illustrations
accompanying this article.
One is of scarlet and white striped tick
ing, with plain red collar and belt; the
former is bordered by a band of white
stitched with red, and the skirt is trimmed
with the same. Red stockings with white
polka dots go with this costume.
Another suit is of wine-coored or claret
red flannel, trimmed with rows of black
SCutache braid. The vest is of cream-col-
ored flannel, and the bow is of black silk

ing materials for summer petticoats, and
to overcome the uncertainties of the lapn-
dry experienced travellers are now having
all the underwear made of the cool and
durable pongee. That is, all but the night
dress, which must be fashioned of black
CHINA silk or pongee in the same Somber
tone, and then whatever accident comes
you are ready for the eye of the world.
One almost wishes the accident might come
when gazing on these modish trifles, for
they are things of beauty and joys forever.
In model they run to elaborate tea gown
effects, though there are simple kimona
designs, too. and of these showed ex-
quisite band embroideries in colored silks.
Hats Run Riot.
In the way of travelling hats never did
fashion allow more designs and materials
to choose from, the only stipulation be-
ing apparently, a smooth trimness of ef
feet. There are great round turbans of
fancy straw, the brims puffed and folded
in way to need little other trimming;
sailor hats of Cuban braid-everything is
Cuban nowadays-alpines of stitched linen
with plaid linen bands, and burnt straw
toques that combine beautifully with black
velvet and the great muslin roses, de regle

yellow straw showed wreath of shaded

where the rolled brim was widest, of black

THE FLORAL PORCH PARTY.
Hot Weather Game for Young Men
and Maidens.

Written for The Evening Star.
During these hot days. when active games
are often out of the question, the hostess
is frequently called upon for an enjoyable,
yet quiet way of entertaining friends. There
is a fresh and attractive idea called bou-
quet building, which Is admirable for porch
parties and similar affairs. 1t can be play
ed by any number of persons, by either sex,
any age. The necessares for it are
dozen or more sheets of tissue paper, in
Guiding all the primal colors and popular
tints; needles, thread and a couple of pairs
of scissors
Each player is told to choose, mentally,
a fower-any well-known blossom-without
He is then to endeavor to reproduce the
bloom in tissue paper. Every player,
whether he wishes or not must make a
flower, but his task can be simple or com
plicated, according to the choice he makes.
Twenty minutes are allowed for cutting,

are collected by the hostess, who attaches
to each little tag having number writ
ten upon it.
The floral collection thus ticketed is ar
ranged in rows upon table Each flower
maker then receives pencil and paper, with
a request that he write down the names of
all the flowers represented and if possible
a pOetical quotation regarding them. The
hostess secures from each botanist the
name of the flower intended and keeps
these for reference.
Another twenty minutes is allowed for
this work. The player who is successful in
naming all or most Of the blooms is an
nounced first prize winner. A second prize
is In waiting for the girl or man who gave
most quotations correctly.
A vote is then taken to decide which
flower of all the bunch is cleverest in de-
sign and most accurately resembles nature.
If no little trinkets in floral pattern are
at hand to serve as prizes the flowers
made by the different competitors be
divided into three large lunches, tied with
appropriate ribbons and presented as tro-
phies and souvenirs of the occasion. But
If some little outlay can be made the

Ginghams, when they can be had in good
colorings, are excellent at the seashore
The silk ginghams and mercerized cottons
are smart, and can now be found in so
many different colorings and at such rea-
sonable prices as to make them good in
vestments. 1t would be better, however,
to have a silk skirt for any one of these
gowns, or one skirt to do duty for several
gowns, as silk will keep It's stiffness and
stability much longer than a lawn or mus
lin skirt. Swiss muslns so soon lose their
coloring and stiffness that they are not
good investments, either. for the seashore,
but again are possible If lined with silk.
But this at once makes them very expen-

the latter material should always be chosen
in preference to the former.
