NARRAGANsETT PIER, R. l., August
15.-Narra gansetts season is now at its
height. The notch. however, is not at as ele-
waited an altitude as in previous years. in
spite of the fact that the polo tourney has
brought much Of the old-time color back to
the Pier. The opening day at the games
saw three thunder showers. one OF which
approached a cloudhurst, the roads were
hooded and the polo field converted into
grassy sponge. OF course, a damper was put
on the games at the outset, but with better
weather the prospects frightened and Sun
day Is likely to prove one of the largest
days in the history of this resort.
george Gould received twenty-eight polo
ponies at one invoice this week and the ar
rangements for the, gamesfgenerally have
been on an almost equal scale of magnitude.
For the first time; within re remembrance the
iocal POLO schedule Is continuous, there be-
ing no days without ga apsS-, The result is

ribbons and roses. At the back 1t is
shaped like high girdle. Ribbons are
used to get this effect. They start from

more pointed than the one below it,
and each fastening with pink rose.
In the front the ribbons are arranged
so us to produce the fashionable dip
effect, which is further emphasized by
pointed buckle made of featherbone
covered with pink satin ribbon, the out
line of the buckle defined with tiny
pink roses. From this buckle mass of
pink ribbon-ends dangle. They vary

At a recent purity congress held In
Chicago a vegetarian delegate read q
curious paper on Diet He stated tnaJ
much Of the immortality in the world
was due to the eating of animal food.
"Tne cook" he said, "often leads to
more drunkenness and excess tnan the
saloon keeper. Highly seasoned, rich
animal foods lead to indigestion and
i'll health. Ill health weakens the
will, and a weak will breaks down the
moral character. Total cepravity IS
often nothing but total indigestion"
This reasoning reminds one of the
old conundrum, why is home like a
baby?" the answer being. Because
home is where the heart is; the heart
is in the chest; chest Is a box, box
is small shrub, a sman shrub is a
growing plant. growing plant is a
beautiful thing, a beautirui thing is a
primrose, primrose N u pronounced
'yeller,' and a pronounced 'yeller' is a
baby"

Trimmings come in complete sets this

Handles of natural wood are smart.
They are often decorated with a bow
or rosette of silk, or chiffon in a har-
monious shade, and end in small ball
or curve. Birds head handles are also
fashionable and for these jade or ivory
is employed with good effect.
There are new wash silks on the
market this year, which are quite DIFF.

ually found under this head. They are
heavy silks, which come in plain colors

Two chief points are to be borne In
mind in appraislng the work of the
park commission. II was instrument
tai in securing an ideal solution of the
railroad problem to give Washington
a monumental union station in a place
where 1t will blend with the other
great public improvements. and 1t has
established the principle of meantain-
ing artistic as well as practical rela.
tionship between the architectural and
the landscape features of the capital.
rhe new plan, undermining and sup
plementing the original project Of
L'Enfant, will become the guide to all
future improvements. BY adopting
this scheme now. leaving its compo-
nents to be worked out in detail as
necessities and opportunities arise,
congress will demonstrate its foresight
and its wisdom as well as its intelli.
gent pride in the national capital.--

Square velvet sleeve caps appear on
the shoulders of afternoon gowns and

in at the shoulder seam of the sleeve,

the gown prove long on the shoulders.
The square "caps" are not very large,
and should never be of such proper

Sen- Bathing mt Home.

There are few people who do not
find the daily sea bath an agreeable
tonic; yet there are multitujes who
hesitate to continue such baths in
their own homes after they have left
the seashore. The truth Is that daily
bathing in any water is in itself re.
fieshing and agreeable, so long as the
individual is In health, and 1t Is just
the tonic that weak, nervous women
need.
The best time to bathe Is usually
early in the morning, and the best
temperature for the person in health
Is about 20 degrees, or the tempera.
ture of the room in which the bath is
taken. Such a morning dip should
not be continued longer than from
three to FIVE minutes, and should be
instantly followed by brisk rubbing
with friction towels in order to put
the skin in a glow
The best authorities seem to agree
that all the advantages that come
from a sea bath can be secured in
from five to eight minutes. 1t is also
desirable to keep up brisk exercise
in sea bathing in order to gain the
greatest benefit from 1t.
All these rules apply with double
force to a bath at home, which lacks
the tonic effect of salt water. A great
many persons always add a cup of
rock salt dissolved in a little warm
water to their daily bath. 1t tends to
prevent a chill. A little perfumed al
cohol is also used for the same reason.
A bag of bran and orris root, soaked
in the water, gives the bather the
faint. fresh fragrance of violets,
though it has no special hygenic value.
When one feels chilly after bathing
1t is sure indication that there has
been no reaction of the skin, and that
Il is not safe to indulge in so cold a
bath. Such peoples hould take baths
at night at tepid temperature. And
If morning bath is also desirable, II
should be at least slightly warmed, of
short duration and brisk rubbing.

FIvE-GORED SKIRT.

The admirable May Manton model,
shown in the large drawing, includes
an upper portion so shaped and grad
uated circular founce scanned to the
lower edge and is shaped to fit with
perfect snugness at the upper portion,
while it flares at the lower, and the
flOunce falls In graceful folds and rip
pies. The original is made of sage
green yelling, with trimming Of bias
folds headed with black and white
fancy silk braid that are arranged at
the foot in the centre and over the
scanning of the flounce and skirt; but
all dress materials are suitable, and
tailor stitching, with corticelli silk, can
be substituted for the bands when pre-
ferred. Both front and side cores are
narrow In conformity with the latest
style, and the fitting is accomplished
without hip darts. The fulness at the
back is laid In inverted pleats that are
pressed quite fat. The founce Is
curved to give the fashionable fulness,
and is scanned to the lower edge.
