Dress For Camping.

For months trip, two short skirts
are desirable, so that in case of rain
or accident a change can be made,
writes Katherine A. Chandler in Good
Housekeeping. A denim or a corduroy
of a shade that will not show soil is
the best for service. Both should be
of the same color, and then one jacket
is sufficient. We have the dressmaker
make two pairs of leggings Of the same
material as the skirts, and they prove
very satisfactory. The three or four
shirt waist should be of cotton crepe or
seersucker, as these look quite well
after the primitive laundering at a
mountain brook. without fiatirOn.
A soft canvas hat is the best head
protection, although a sunbonnet is
often preferred by those who can bear
them over their ears. A sweater is a
great comfort, but whether it be taken
or not, u large shawl OF golf cape is
necessary for the hours OF resting in
the twilight. Comfortable shoes are
the greatest essential to pleasant
trip, and these should be tried for some
days before leaving home. There are
fine boots now made just for tramp
ing, but we like the lighter one that
our feet have grown used to. Just
before starting we have a heavy sole
put on and Hungarian nails fixed on
both soles and heels. Unless they are
nearly new, two pairs Of tramping
shoes should be taken, as the stitches
in old shoes are soon loosened by mois-
ture A lighter pair for resting in
camp is necessary to Keep the feet in
good condition. In long tramping the
feet can be saved by wearing two pairs
of stockings cotton pair next the
feet, and woolen pair on the outside.
These rub on each other and the foot
escapes blisters. Two sets of under
wear are all that are needed, and they
0hould be of n material that will stand
laundering in the passing stream or
lake. A large quantity of hairpins
and safety pins and a mending bag
vii. be found indispensable to a tidy
appearance throughout the trip.

FEArAERep MILLINERY DOOMED.
Success OF Movement Against Slaughter
ing Birds For Hat Trimmings.

Success OF Movement Against Slaughter
ing Birds For Hat Trimmings.
Even the most pessimistic observers
of millinery in Its relation to bird life
have been forced to admit that the
beneficial influence of the awakened
interest in nature has been marked.
1t Is rare, in Massachusetts,, at any
rate, to see a hat trimmed with the
body or feathers of any native song
bird. The threatened attack on gulls
and terms, moreover, two years ago,
resulted in the protection movement
conducted by William butcher, with
the help of the Thayer fund. AS re
suit Of the generosity of the contribu-
tors to this fund and Of the activity
of Messrs. butcher and Palmer, not
only is our coast patroled as never
before, and the gulls and terms protect
ed in innumerabls quantities ON numer-
Gus breeding spots, but an almost un-
broken rampant of protective leglsla-
ton has been enacted in the seaboard
States.
There is, however, in spite of these
encouraging features of the contest be-
tween vanity and ignorance on the one
hand, and broader sympathies and en-
lightenment, one stronghold in which
the powers of darkness threaten to
make q desperate stand. 1t is an
nounced that the aigret, which has
never ceased to be more or less fash
ionable, will come into greater demand
than ever during the coming winter
1t is proved extremely difficult to in
huence the wearers of these herOn's
plumes, and the consequent slaughter
of the beautiful birds has gone on at
an appalling rate. The egret, once an
abundant bird in Florida, is now one
one Of the rarest inhabitants. The
trade is now supplied for the most
part from South America. The number
Of egrets killed in Venezuela in 1S0S
according to the official reports of the
British Consul was 100000. These
figures will not represent the entire
slaughter, however, since the feathers
are taken from the bodies of the par
ents when the young are helpless In
the nests, so that the wiping out of a
heronry means the death by starvation
of hundreds Of young birds. The deli
cate plumes, beautiful as they seem
to any one ignorant Of the method by
which they must have been obtained
rightly stamp the wearer as strangely
ill-informed in these times Of many
books and many lectures, or else utter
ly lacking in sympathy for mans most
charming and most defenseless fellow
creatures. We must hope that if the
fashion is setting in in the threatened
direction, Massachusetts, at any rate,
will be found strong enough to resist
the demand to return to more heartless
and ignorant conditions.
These statements made by Ralph
Hoffman, of Belmont, with regard to
the expected increased demand for
aigrets, are confirmed by newspaper
items which state that next winter will
see more of them worn than ever be-
fore. 1t does not seem possible that
after the peculiar cruelty that attaches
to the getting of these beautiful plumes

minded woman could ever bring her.

OCEAN PIER
FOR LEWES.

VIII build an ocean pier at Lewes.
Mr. Thompson is president of the
Thompson line of boats, of the Thomp
son Coal and Coke Company and o
Two other corporations engaged IN a
similar business.
! lie says thatalready engineers have
been going over the sites that would
be available for coal pier along the
beach front, but nothing definite has
oeen decided on, although capitalists
interested in the venture have decid-
ed that it is thoroughly PRACTICAL
and would prove paying investment
not only to the promoters, but to the
owners of steamships that could take
on their supply of coal at Lewes.
Mr.. Thompson says the plans as out
lined at present provide for q pier
extendlng3. 200 feet INTO the ocean,
to be built of stone and to be solid
structure, able to withstand the action
or the heavy seas and ice. At the end
OF the pier, adcpth of atleast twenty
two feet of water would be required.
Mr.. Thompson says. Whether this
requirement could be met is one of
the conditions to be disposed of before
lhe PROJECT assumes definite shape.
III the necessary concessions aud as
sstancc from the State Of Delaware
and from the Federal Government
can be obtained, Mr. Thompson says
that the clpitai SIS interested will
enter heartily into the construction
or the per. One of the concessions
desired from the state isa grant of
sufficient beach land front. and the
Federal Government would have to
recognize the Importance of maintain
ing a great depth of water about the
pier landings.

that within Il few years upward of
