SUMMER GOWNS.
Black Fer children and CoIors For Thei
Elders.

Many Of the wash gowns for sum-
mer are of light weight linen in pale
solid colors. The trimmings are laces
put on in transparencies and helped
out with tiny tuckings. The simple
blouse bodice may fasten either at the
front or back, but the preferred sleeve
Is always elbow length. The trim
mings of many skirts still suggest the
graduated flounce. and some waists
show belts of lace, ribbon or embroid-
cry.
The black "paper-chip'' hat Is warm
ly recommended for heads that find
most millinery too heavy. Its sole
trimmings are a bias of black velvet
under the brim, and a soft fall of white
ostrich feathers at the right side.
A pleasing simplicity has crept into
the modes for children. There are still
fussy costumes for small girls OF all
ages, but preferred styles are taut and
trim, leaning rather to fine needle
work than elaborate effects In the
way of combination black is fire.

tinted mulls relieving their sombre-

The school clothes the children's out
filters are showing include sailor suits
for both boys and girls. Contrasting
sailor collars and nautical-loOking ties
begay these, and all the shields of the
little suits sport nautical emblems in
blue and red. For the boys suits white

Pretty sailor dresses for little girls

WAY rHe BROS MIGRATE



Speaking Of birds coming back from
the South. let me explain. so far as
can, where they have been, why they
went, and why they take the trouble
to come all the way back again Many
thousands of years ago birds didn't
migrate Mt all. All the Northern coun-
tries, even Greenland, and the mod
Northern parts Of Europe, were warm
the year round, and the birds and ami
mails that lived there found everything
they needed close at hand. But by
and by there came great changes In
the conditions of the climate, and grad
nally there began period known as
the "Ice Period" when large part of
the Northern countries were extreme
ly cold and were buried under the ice.
OF course, the birds which lived in
these countries could not stand the
severe change, so they had to either
go to n warmer climate or die. The
sensible ones all went South and made
the best of II. But they never quite
forgot their Northern home, and long
after, when the great ice-cap melted
away and when the Northern countries
became warm again. the descendants
of the birds, which were driven out by
the cold, went back to their own coun.
try. There they found plenty of food
so they stayed and made their nests
and laid their eggs. But alas! the
climate was no longer as 1t used to
be-mild and warm the whole year
round. 1t was divided into seasons,
and the warm summer was followed
by cold winter They had scarcely
reared their young before they found
that the air was beginning to get
cold again. so as soon as the little ohes
| We're strong enough TO stand the long
| journey they all flew away to the
South. But they never forget where
their real homes are. Every spring
there comes over them a great longing
to go back and make their nests where
| they themselves were born. They can.
not resist that longing. No matter
where they may be-down in the Gulf
States, in the West Indian islands. or
perhaps thousands of, miles away in
the Southern part of South America
back they come by tens of thousands,
and by millions, to their old homes in
the North.-Ernest Harold Baynes, in
the Woman's Home Companion.

wedding must occur in Illinois,
1t was impossible for Prof. Green
up to visit Chicago for the ceremony
and the plan as carried out was

STEAM CARRIAGES IN LONDON,
The Old Clumsy TwO-HOrse Omni-

Those clumsy and numbering, but
withal picturesque, vehicles which

don is awakening to that fact.
The Strand was invaded the other

Cross by new steam carriage, which
looked curiously out of place amid
the procession one is accustomed to
see there. The new omnibus went
down Whitehall to Scotland Yard
where it was inspected for license
The vehicle is type of those which
are to be placed in service next
