The best and latest mode in sash drapery
requires mention, for a round knot at the
belt and two floating ends is considered the
refuge of the commonplace. There is the
soft sash that knots at the belt, falls eight
cen inches and knots again before the ends
fall free, and then there is the wing knot
and the knot that drops a short loop on
top of the ends and finally the knot that is
pulled through a long, narrow buckle,
which is shaped and bent to follow the
curves of the waist line.

prevailed and are prevailing with amazing
tenacity. The woman who cannot number
at least three Peter Thompson suits not

QUESTIONS of her summer outfit counts her
self ill-treated by the fates and finances.
All these must be of linen and though any
girl who commands the services of a good
laundress can be as crisp as lettuce on the
list of suits just named. the dream of the
majority includes the possession of twice
that number. Some are of brown some OF
red, some of blue and the majority of white
linen and all of those meant for hard wear
and travel are trimmed with buttons
stitchings, straps and knots Sometimes
these simple decorative effects are carried
out in contrasting coIOrs, that is to say a
blue linen will be advantageousIy strapped
in white, or an inviting thing in green will
be heavily stitched in black. One capital
arrangement in contrasts. which. by the
way, grows steadily in favor is the white
or brown or blue linen tipped, so to speak
with red

prize the round contours of their nineteen

Veilings and Buntings.

Next after linen, IN all grades from the
toughest grass weave to the smoothest
napery finish, the heart of woman. not to
speak of the contents of her pocket, is ire
sistibly drawn toward the rough veilings
and heavy, coarse meshed buntings that
are made into the ideal travelling gowns.
Who is there without plans of rail-
way or sea voyaging from this time forth,
and who does not desire the gown that is
proof against sea fogs, coal dust, sun and
shower? The heavy etamine, the wolfe i'm
periale. the basket mOhairs and the seaside
buntings are each and every one almost
weather and wear proof, and in the ready
made departments of any big dry goods
house II is possible to pick up useful coat
and skirt made on the latest and smartest
lines for thoroughly reasonable price.
The design and execution of such suits
is wholly tailOrsh and yet distinctively
graceful For sweet young figure they
can be had in full-gored, instep-long skirts,
plainly stitched and worn with what is
called a waist jacket that is strapped and
belted in at the waist over a soft wash silk
skirt. The idea is conveyed by the Illus
tration Of seaworthy suit in silver gray.
On the other hand, there is the perfectly
plain or deliberately stitched trained trav-
cling dress, worn with a decorative but
practical Elton. This idea is also embodied

He erected the house now being de-
molished, and lived there with his
family until his death.
In one of the earlier visits OF James
Cooper, afterward the first great Am
erican novelist. to whose original
name Fenimore was added by act OF
legislature when he was thirty-seven
years old, to Westchester county, he
became acquainted with Susan. John
Peter De Lancey's second daughter,
and the friendship soon ripened into
n more tender regard. Cooper sooa
became frequent visitor to the De
Lancey homestead. and on New
Years day, 1911, was married to the
young woman of his choice probably
in the house now being destroyed.
Nobody in Mamaroneck is positive
that Cooper was married in the house,
but his biographers have no cause to
doubt that the wedding was celebrat-
ed at the homo Of his bride The fact
that many of Coopers friends and
admirers deprecated his marriage into
n Tory family seems consistent with
the belief that he was wed in Mr.. De
Lancey's house There seems to be
ample reason for believing that the
old parlor was the scene of his mar
riage. as well as of his courtship.
The demolition of the Dc Lancey
house leaves only one monument OF
the eighteenth century in the vlcini;y
OF Mamaroneck Almost directly
across the Boston Post Road from the
De I.ancey house is the massive stone
chimney OF the Disbrow house, built
in 1877 and burned only a few years
ago. This chimney is carefully pre-
served by the owner Of the land on

on account of its solid construction
and broad base. unless a vandal hand
has It demolished to make way fol
so-called improvements.

THE UPS AND DOWNS OF A STATE
New Jerseys Rapid Drop from a Com

The rapid changes in the fortunes
of state at the national capital are
strikingly illustrated in the case of
New Jersey, which, in a few years,
rose to the pinacle of influence, but
has now fallen back into the ranks.
A brief while ago Garret A. Hobart
filed the vice-presidency as no other
man ever did. He was power in the
administration ana not merely pre-
siding officer in the senate. He en-
joyed President McKinley's confidence
and few measures of Importance were
decided without his aid.
Hobart's protege. John w. Griggs,
was attorney general at time when
international and colonial questions
gave TO the Office an Importance it
never before possessed.
Gen. William j. Sewell. the senior
senator from New Jersey. was one
of the presidents most loyal support
ers in the senate. and Mr.. Mckinley
depended greatly upon his influence in
the senate at large and in the mill

They were rather an old-fashioned

about character than circuses and
when a man who knew personally"
the manager of the Twentieth Century
Colossus" invited them to see the show
between performances they had ac-
cepted the invitation as a compromise
between their consoiences and their de-
sire to see the circus.
The manager received them with
courtesy and quiet dignity which
they had not expected from
circus man. There were a number of
rehearsals going on in different parts
of the enclosed space. In one corner,

course he had a right to sulk.

to that corner and introduced them
to Mr.. OBrien. lie was perspiring.
"You must excuse my appearance,
he said wiping his forehead with his
sleeve. But when you've got an ele-
phant on your hands that's pouting
| like comic opera star you hain't got
no use to dress up"
"It must be a very dangerous voca-
tion." said the woman.
O'Brien ignored the implied compll-
ment.
1--WE been round elephants, you
might say, ever since | could walk an
I've been close student Of the ele-
phant character" he explained, "but
| don't know no more about that little
old Johnnie than you do.
II cant make up my mind whether
he's a rogue that hain't got sand
enough t let me have 1t or whether
he's just a wise old guy that's bin
kiddin' me along for twelve years.
Every so often he goes on a strike and
| during them times he tries his prettiest
to get the other elephants to go out
with him-kind of a sympathetic
strike.
"He can't stand prosperity | guess
| that's what ails him. Every time we
drop into a soft place like this he gets
proud an naughty. See him winlIin'
at me now with one O. them little Bax-

The visitors, never having devoted
much time to a conscientious study of
elephant character, could not interpret
the wink, but they cOndoled with
O'Brlen and the man said that John
ME was probably trying to organize a
union or else he was an elephantine
practical joker. And then they all
laughed diffidently, as people will
when they speak to one another in diff
ferent dialects Of the same language.
In the ring nearest the Fourth ave-

figure whirled through the air, and
landed with unerring precision on the

Dolly Julian at Her Morning Exercise
was bringing up to follow in her own
sandaled footsteps.
While the woman was gone, the
guide took her husband into another
ring and introduced him to Frank Mel
vile, the old-time bareback rider. Mr..
Melvilles connection with the circus
equine education.
The day before he had received a.
request from three women-English'
women-to show them how to teach
a horse to kneel. The three women
were in the ring when the guide and
his visitor entered 1t and the professor
emeritus was giving them practical
demonstration of his method of max
ing a horse. in spite of his decided
views to the coptrary, kneel down, or
sit up or roll over, or do any other
undignified thing he requested him to.
"It would surprise you the number
of persons" he explained to the visitor
when the woman had left, who come
to me and want me to show 'em how
to teach their horses tricks. We've
only been here a week or so, and III
bet ten women have called or written
to find out how they can make their
horses do that ragtime step my horse
Lordly does in the show It's nothing
but the old high school set to rag
time"
When the visitor rejoined his wifel
once more he found her in a state OF
suppressed excitement bordering on
triumph.
II have discovered she whispered
to him exultantly, what it is that is
lacking in my old-fashioned picture of
circus life; 1t Is the wretchedness, the
ignorance and the unhappiness.

hurried on, these people are actually
contented-more than that, they are
happy and ambitious and proud of
their professions--just as you and
Samuel are of yours.
Il have been talking with that pink
checked little girl who turns those
| dreadful somersaults, and she has told
me of a new trick she has learned

proud of that poor little trick as ouI

looked at me, and asked me If

of themselves and their art! Imaginc

man laughed a little Historically.
"Well, I'm not so sure replied the
