A charming Weille model for an
evening dress is of primrose chiffon
over pink and primrose yellow
chameleon taffeta silk underskirt and
bodice. On the front is an open Rus
sian blouse of point de Venise lace,
with a pointed girdle and collar Of

French brilliants. Between the
fronts of the blouse shows dainty
dip vest of shot satin, yelled. with

of the season are plain in effect.
Nearly all have some sort of braid

tucking, and lace en- applique, etc.
Quite half of the skirts now shown
are finished with a hip yoke trimmed
with applied folds, soutache. all-oyer

rather fatuously.
.We have paper drag-hunts that are
real enjoyable if not mighty exciting,
and latterly the club has imported 10

trouble about them was, that they
wouldn't chase anything but a fox;
and the foxes we'd imported on pur-
pose-such common little things!-
had no idea of running in country they
didn't know Besides. the passengers
on the liner had spoilt them so with
sweet biscuits and chicken wings that
they were too corpulent for exercise.
So we got niger and red herring
one of your real old English high-dried
sort-and the niger engaged for five
dollars to drag it over the ground wed
fixed on, and the meet was arranged.
There were "a members Of our hunt
club, ladies and gentlemen all turned
out by first-rate sporting sartorialists.
And l won't say, in light green cloth
with orange facings and special but

with blazing sunshine, and when that
niger broke covert and ran-we didn't
want any English dogs to smell for us
that herring seemed to our Ameri-

THE COUGARS FIGHTING.

Solar PIcxus Blow.
The cougar does not leap upon its big
game nor drop upon il out of treetops,
but sneaks close or lies in wait upon
the level and goes from cover In a
straight rush like the tiger or the hunt

the lower throat or shoulder with its
teeth and to twist the quarry's head

Failing I'm its attempt. yet making
good its catch hold. the cougar will--to
put it modernly-go in and finish in
any old style 1t will usually finish
once tooth and claw are engaged. but
sometimes IL fails and even gets the
worst OF an encounter.
Felix NIichaud. most reliable free
trapper of the old regime. once told me
he had watched Hon stalking q bull

of the big variety. Ii went from cover
In hcadlong rush. but missed its neck

ing him at the point of the shoulder
and going under his belly. Both ami

hair, hoofs. claws and horns. In a
brief struggle. as they rolled over 20
eether, the cougar was thrown into the
air. as if hoisted by spring trap, by
a convulsive kick from the bulls hind
leg. The maddened elk gained its legs
and chased its enemy or the Geld. An

Scotch .enrin stnner

Years ago Scotch great-grandpa
brought To America piece of sand
rock that some persons thought was
intended for grindstone. What caused
them TO think so was not because ii
was round. but on the upper side it
was followed out like a saucer, and
the other side had small projection

size. Soon this was discovered to be
what is termed a drip stone" and
when set In shady place and the
saucer side filled with water Will de-
liver crystal pure and cold drops from
the underside. The water is absolutely
clean and pure as the result of this
homely process. The idea was original
ly taken from the orientals, no doubt.
