tress in the universe that can compare
] with this primitive but deliciously com
Portable affair. If you are stopping only
two or three nights in one spot and then
going on in your search for game ol
for scenery, your guide will not take
the trouble to make your bed III vary
| thorough manner. He viii simply heap
up some freshly cut pine boughs and
arrange them with the soft green needles
for the top layer of the bed.
."The truly satisfactory bed Of pine
boughs requires some time and some SIKH
to construct. and not every guide who
inhab;ts the Quebec or Aroostook pine
iuncIes knows how or is willing to
bother with making one properly. In the
first place. long logs are cut for the
length of the bed, and shorter ones are
put across the ends. Into TINS low poX
are piled, first, large freshly hewn boughs
to build the bed up to the height OF the
box sides. On top of these boughs softer
! ones are laid, with the new green parts
on top to form a covering for the springy
moss. When plenty of the soft green
needles are put over the other boughs
Won have a bed that is at once delicious
| ly soft and comfortable. The best part
of it is that the aromatic pine balsm
is a remedy in itself and the elasticity of
the bed lasts for days"
! 1t is a fact worth knowing that the
| kew note of the perfect costume is its
suitability, says the "Woman's Home
! Companion Especially is this true OF
travelling. for there comfort goes hand
| in hand with charm. The more appro-
| nriate the costume, the more enjoyable
the journey and the more fascinating the
traveller. The sense of being just right
enhances beauty, brightens conversation
and tends TO drive off fatigue; therefore,
what t A.. wear travelling becomes ques-
tion OF special significance to the wo-
men who is contemplating a short trip
or long one during vacation time. Hef
clothes should be fortable--thorough-
lv so-as well as appropriate and smart
in effect. Materials which are dust-proof
and light in weight should invariably be
chosen for the traveling-gown. Hats
should be cool ana simply trimmed, and
heavy shoes anG thick gloves should
always be left at home.
The silk travelling gown is all the
vogue this season. If it is made OF the
unfinished taifeta. which is soft rather
than crisp, and as it neither wrinkles
nor spots it is sure to prove service
able. Light weight English tweed viii
wear well and not show the dust, and
for long journey is highly to be re-
commended. while for the day excursion
or the short trip linen crash, Panama
Java etamine or pongee are all appro-
pirate materials.
The fanciful and grotesque exhibits OF
Japanese skill and patience in training
climbing greenry over wicker frames are
bearing fruit this season. Leading for
lists are introducing novel decorations for
Iamns. summer house sentinels. piazza
and porch adornments in the shape Of
storks. turtles, barnyard fowl and
caniches sitting on their hind legs with
front paws in a begging altitude
1t is the feathery trails of the larch
which are carefully trained over fine
wicker frames made to represent the
above named specimens, and, undoubt-
edly, special orders will be also carried
out in like manner. The effect is ex-
tremely odd and pleasing, while the nov
| city lends charm which few will resist
| A stork and a caniche will cost $40
each, while turtle and hen sell for $6
each
The woman with a contented mouth
is rare as the dodo today. A cursory
| glance at the occupants of any street
car will point to that fact. Women
still smile when occasion demands. At
the dinner table, at luncheons, at teas,
at social functions of all sorts, the
modern woman's face is wreathed in
smiles. her lips turn up riotously at their
corners, but when she is alone her face
betrays her, says a writer in "C0llier's
weekly.
Study the mouths of the women who
ride alone in their luxurious carriages;
| watch the faces of the women in the
street cars; note the women anywhere
| who believes herself to be unobserved;
always the downward droop.

The summer evening gowns for oyung
| girls are particularly inexpensive in point
of trimming-thtat is, there is little lace
used. The trimming is mostly Of the
| same material as far as ruffles are con-
cerned. These are put on very full, in
! deed, and about the bottom of the skirts
there is a perfect frou-frou Of them.
! About the only trimming other than the
| material itself are artificial flowers. par
ticularly roses. These are to be used in
profusion.
| Very charming are the white and col
ored waists in lawn and null, embrod-
cred by hand. These are. as a rule. but
toned in the back. Here is a pattern IN
