Summer Hangings.

The newest draperies for the summer
cottage are boldly effective and very
original. There are Algerian rugs, made
Of hemp and decorated with the most
eccentric patterns showing green drag
ons on blue grounds, giant flowers of
brilliant red against Il background of soft
brown, and other odd but striking and
decorative conceits These hangings are
heavy i'll weight and well suited to ward
off the too cool breeze from a draUghty
doorway or exposed corner of the We
randa, but as they are not soft or woody
they do not attract every particle of dust
in the vicinity to find lodgment in their
meShes.
Some of the new madras are in most
artistic designs. One of white is divided
into squares by lines of gold and some
of these squares frame a conventional
lied dragon in dull, soft colors. When
this stuff is held up to the light it has
the effect of stained glass window.
Another madras ie in shades of rose,
light brown and green, in a design sug-
gestive of the Beauyais tapestry.
Walter Crane patterns in these diaph-
anous hangings show the decorative
though often grotesque fancies of this
artist, with which we have become ia
miIiar within the last FIVE years. A de-
sign of conventionalized pumpkins and
squashes in shades of yellow, from pale
gold to deep orange, with green stems
and leaves to relieve the glow of color
is characteristic of his work in this line.

Hints on Becomingness.

Some slender women whom you think
would look most ungraceful in a ow-cut
gown in reality look very attractive. The
collar bone has a tendency TO show, but
this is offset by certain beautiful lines
that sweep from ear to elbow
If women would only realize this more
there wouldn't be as many ugly evening
gowns worn in our cities. Again, if a
woman would only understand whether
she can wear her gown cut square or
pointed or round she would gain much.
A woman with a square chin or a long
face should never wear square gown.
The woman with tiny face, small fea-
lures, should not wear a sweeping, round
line. The woman with 4 thin. narrow
face without much chin shouldn't wear
a X-shaped bodice.
And certain types of women should
never wear a severely cut low gown.
Even if her shoulders are covered with
flesh, she should wear certain draperies
around the edge of her gown to offset
certain bad lines in either her face or her
shoulders.
Now these are the points that the
French woman understands She doesn't
rush into a low-cut bodice simply because
her bones are well covered. She asks
of the mirror the truth as to her lines.
Sometimes she finds bad lines. even with
every bore covered. and that she looks
better in a gown draped to the neck. 80
she wears it.
Nothing is so simple for the evening as
low-cut blouse One just cuts II off
and doesn't trouble any more. thinking
that because it - cut according to the
tradition for evening wear 1T IS the prop
er thing. If that girl could see herself
in properly made evening blouse that
caters to all her good and bad points.

play ground idea is Incorporated in
the laws of the land. Unfortunately
this movement has made little progress
in this country. Fortunately st. Paul
has an ideal public playground.
Through the generosity Of the Modern
Woodmen of America this gymnasium
was added to the Harriet Island insti-
tuition. It's operation is under the care
of Prof. Carl Rothfus, physical director.
who trains the children in athletic ex-
erCiSes.
If there is a pessimistic citizen in
St Paul, parent who trembles at the
thought of his child growing up amid
the dust and dirt and noise of the rush
ing city, let him visit the Harriet ISL
and playground and listen to the
voices of happy children at their play,
and rejoice that he is living in a city
where such a perfect recreation for

Thirty-two dollars and seventy five

Probably most of the $500, 900 votaries
of the great American game" will dub
along all their lives without seeing it
happen. And even if it should happen
the chances of a repetition of the play
at the Verona Boat club, New York,
week ago Sunday are so remote that
100000 poker players might sit in the
same room and play for several years
without seeing it.
The hands upon which the players
staked their piles in a series of rapid
fire raises and returns were four aces
has heard of this ultimate opposition
of invincible hands, but it is safe to
say that wherever the story has been
told 1t has been only fairy tale, a fig
ment of the Superheated imagination,
or If it was really so the deal was
crooked.
Seven good men and true, members
of the Verona Boat club, who might be
called Mac and Tom and Charlie and
Harry, but for some strange reason
they don't want their real names used,
are willing to make signed statements
or to go through any of the formalities
of the most sacred oath-taking by any
and all the saints and signs in Hoyle's
revised edition that 1t really did hap
