who was formerly an army surgeon speak

large practice, says, In Good Housekeep-

no more to be desired than an excessively
hot one. In his opinion, a moderately
warm summer results in a higher aver

PEGGY o'NEAL FASHIONS
There has been a new fashion introduced

: There has been a new fashion introduced
this season at Newport by a number Of
leaders-that Of wearing the hair loosely
about the shoulders; it was started in
revival of a style that was originally set
during the presidential administration OF
Andrew Jackson, by Peggy O'Neal, the
famous historical beauty. The fashion of
wearing, the hair in ringletsN about the
shoulders is becoming known as the Peg
gy O'Neal Revival and is spreading
from Newport to various other fashionable
,oenters. With this quaint couture, the
early colonial mode Of dressing has sprung
into vogue. It is familiarized as the
Peggy O'Nea1 fashion, and it includes
the dropping shouldered waist, and the
three or four f1ounced skirt--such as our
reat-granfmothers used to wear. gS. 4
For the first time it is now publicly
known that this style of coiffure and at
tire, supposed to have been revived sole
ly by leaders at Newport, has, in reality,
been revived by famous western beauty,
Miss Campbell, daughter of ex-governor
Campbell Of, Ohio. It is to MISS Campbell
that all credit is due for reviving this
charming fashion of the tresses and pic-
turesque attire. This celebrated and
popular beauty posed for the miniature
frontispiece Of Peggy O'Neal," in Alfred
Henry Lewis's new patriotic novel OF this
title. Miss Campbell is seen in the
frontispiece of the novel. which is drawn
in colors by Henry HUT, with her hair
hanging in unconfined clusters about her
shoulders. Her extensive acquaintance in
New York city brought about following
in this fashion, which quickly spread to
Newport.
It is rather interesting to learn that a
lady Who has just returned from Newport
states that several of the fashionable
! women, who are leading the style in wear
in gtheir hair a la Peggy O'Neal, have
framed in their boudoirs the miniature

EMBROIDERIES IN HARMONY
WITH ALL OTHER FURNISHINGS
Decoration Must Fit Into the General Plan Of the
Furnishings It's Beauties Are Wasted.
(By Clara L. Kellogg

One of the beautiful pieces of embroidery
which were awarded gold and silver medals
at the Pan American exposition is shown In
this cut. It will be interesting not only Tor
the exceedingly fine quality OF stitchery ana
design, which is that of the early period when
embroidery was at it's height In art. Sorae OF
these old designs seem quaint and curious
but to the student of ornamental design they
show familiarity with the best and highest
forms of old classical models.
In these simple line cuts. little idea can
be gained of the color and stitches used, but
If one attempts to copy and make use of them,
first see that the ground material selected is
the best and most durable, and that the en-
broidery is tremendously placed. In other
words a piece OF embroidery should not be
made or purchased simply because OF its
intrinsic value or beauty. The color scheme
OF the room in which 1t is placed should be

The colonial design shown in the cut can
be used in various ways; in chair backs and
arms it is wrought on natural gray lines, and
colors of blue and green are blended in solid
shaded Kensington stitch, making in effect
what we call iridescent work; berries, in
burnt orange in satin stitch; stems in out
line In hunters green; ribbons at base of the
wreath, in two shades of mahogany in tapes

same shade as the pongee. and the brim is
bound with scarlet silk. Both white felt and
white stitched linen hats of the sailor order
but with rolling brim are very fashionable
this summer, trimmed with either short
marabout plume or pompon of coQue feath-
ers.
The shrt-waist dresses are so attractive
this year that many of the summer trolley
party girls favor them in preference to the
skirt and coat costume. Those in crash
in the new lcelle shade, trimmed with bands
of white linen embroidery in French knots
in some bright color are extremely pretty
The skirts are all very wide about the bottom
and the newest models are finished with a
velyeteen binding. Sorosis skirts are favor
ties for drop skirts, since they flare grace
fully. The long shoulder effect is noticeable
and the full sleeve below the elbow; the
blouse is much smaller than 1t has been
and the tendency is toward revealing rather

The trolley party girl who ia most parttcu-

half dozen different skirt and coat cos
tunes to choose from. She may wear black
and white check taffeta plated skirt and long
tight fitting skirt coat cut in a severe tailor
made style. or she may wear more pictur-
esque costume in some delicate tint of mo-

MohAir Sicilienne is an excellent material
for the trolley-party gill to choose for her
frock. II she does not care to have skirt

material, she may have a shirt waist suit.

this summer was worn by asdashing girl. The

OF all the frolics Of the summer girl, there
is none she enjoys more than the trolley
party. It is her particular, pet diversion.
. OF course, there are trolley parties and
trolley parties, but the one which the summer
girl is sure to like best is the moonlight night
trolley party. There must be long stretch
of road with just sudden curve or two
to shut out the silvery light of the moon, the
dark places acting as substitutes for tun-
Mesquite enough said! The car must be
decorated to make it look as festive as posi-
Bile and pretty color schemes may be intro
duced by having the globes Of the electric
lights match in color the decorations of the
car. Wild flowers and leaves may be used
to deck the car, or simply bunting and gay
ribbons. To be the sort of trolley party
that the summer girl likes best there must
be just as many. men as girls and not only
fun on the trip, but good time when the end
of the route is reached sometimes picnic
lunch, stories around a beach fire and then,
when the hre dies out, stroll on the beach,
