When she first started out to be an all
around athletic girl it was fad with her
to give little thought to her. clothes and
to dress in as masculine a manner as pos
siblle. This year she considers the ap-!
propriateness of her costumes just as
much as ever, but she is determined to
have them made with an air and a style
typical Of herself.
Her skirts for camping out wear must
be cut as faultlessly and hang as cor
rectly as If they were airy creations Of
chfffons and laces. If she has but two
skirts, one is invariably either of Scotch
tweed or cravenette, cloth, in London
smoke gray or woodland brown as to its
shade, and the other; lis of heavy butchers
step length and flare prettily at the hem,
which is finished with a binding. They
cling to the figure over the hips, and
when petticoat is worn. 1t Is sure to be
the Sorosis, which is made with a self
adjusting yoke. NIX
But when the girls go 'sroughing it' they
generally leave their petticoats at home,
and wear in the place Of an underskirt
boomers Of spongee or very fine Sicilienne.
The best Of these bloomers are made with
"a yoke so that they fit smoothly over the
hips - q
The skirts are generally gored models.
Some are severely plain and others are
plated all the way around or are made
with groups Of plaits. Stitched bands are
used as the trimming, the bands fastening
with pearl or leather-covered buttons.
The skirts have coats to match and they
vary greatly In style. The slender cir
wears the Norfolk Jacket, and the taller
she Is the longer the jacket. There are
short box coats to match the skirts fol
camping out wear and there are long
1oose-htting coats.

There is nothing she cannot do-there Is

OF course the camping out girl takes as
many shirt waists with her she. has
room for in her big dress suit cases. These
shirt waists are all of the tailor made
order. They show the newest cut of
shoulder and sleeve and are made of such
materials as linen, cotton rep, Madras,
pique, French and silk flannel. White
shirt waists are those most in favor by
the particular girl, and they are worn
with featherboned stocks and neckties to
match. Tho the shirt waists which the
girl who lives out of doors wears fare
never Of the fluffy, flmy sort, yet the
clever girl is sure to have them made with
some pretty individual touch. She may
have the cuffs and stock embroidered with
French knots in her favorite color, or,
perhaps, she has her shirt waists made
with a pearl button, and on the pocket
she embroiders some little design sugges-
tive of her camping-out experience. 1t
may be a canoe or q gtpsy kettle or just
a canoe paddle or gun; but you can be
sure that, whether OF not 1t is very dec
orative from an artistic point Of view, it
suggests something, nevertheless. which
the girl who puts it there likes to think OF.
She takes along with her sweater,
too, and perhaps a knitted jacket with
silk sleeves; and she does not omit a
goodly supply of hair nets.
Her hats are decidedly in keeping with
the suit she wears They are either Of
soft felt or rough straw. A. new felt tur-
ban particularly smart for the girl who Is
off camping, is made of white felt with a
rough beaver edge, and trimmed with
loops of black velvet ribbon at the
sides and back. The soft, untrimmed felt

trained eye. It is rather startling idea
to many. that tfere#is a floral art worthy
of serious study and based upon true art
principles from a close study Of natural
laws. With delicate living material the
floral artist creates a picture, work Of
art Who would not prefer to acquire,
the skill. to do this, even in an elementary
way, rather than cling to old-fashioned,
haphazard methods that are wholly ex-
pressionless?
The cardinal principle OF Japanese floral
art is the representation in a more or less
conventional way of floral growth. This
accounts for the open arrangement, In or
der to show all the forms Of growth,
branches, stems, leaves and flowers. The
word used for flower in Japan means
more than the mere blossom, as it includes
sprays of plants without blossoms, such
as bamboo shoots and boughs Of autumn
leaves.
To the Japanese and to certain Guilt
waited circle In America. flower arrangement
has three greater harmonies which are
described by a popular flower connoisseur.

new book, THE Flower Beautiful, as

the relation of the flowers to the receptacle
and the relation Of the whole composition
to its environment 1t is in the last that
Americans are the greaest transgressors

tween the flowers themselves, nor between

are the most convenient things imaginable
to the girl who is living in the camp.
These hats now come In many fetching
shades, such as silver gray, pale cameo
pink, gray blue, cafe au lait and beige,
Sometimes the soft brim Is bound with
corded ribbon, and then, again, 1t has no
binding but shows rows Of silk stitching.
:; For her travelling, dress, the camping
out girl selects a costume which she can
not only wear on the train and feel that it
Is appropriate, but one that she can
wear into the nearest town II by chance
she happened to wish to do little shop
ping or sightseeing.
A stylish travelling suit is made Of
wooltex tweed. It is a skirt and long
coat, costume and has groups of plaits
as Its trimming. In color 1t is woodland
brown The long skirted coat. is cut low
in the neck and has fiat collar of forest
green silk outlined with light brown silk
cord. The deep cuffs match the collar.
The coat buttons at the side, and Is held
in at the waist with a belt of the cloth
fastened with a green buckle. This cos
tune will appear to Its best advantage il
worn with q Rosalind adjuster, which
gives that pretty, fetching French curve
to the swaistline.
If this style Of frock is too plain to
suit the fancy of the camping out girl
when she wishes to be dressed up a bit,
then she may wear a sun-plaited skirt
and coat costume. say Of Sicilienne, in
any shade she may choose. The skirt is
instep length and may be plated from the
waistline of from a deep V-shaped yoke.
Al sorosis petticoat will add materially to
the effect Of this skirt, as it will give 1t
just the correct fare at the hem. The
coat is a !. loose graceful, sun-plaited
model.

With July comes such wealth or HOW
ers that nearly everyone Is able to gratify
love for them by having an abundance
for decorative purposes. Without gar
den and without expanding any money IL
Is quite possible to have beautiful flow
er arrangements for the house that dec
crate most effectively, from the lavish
outpouring of wild flowers.
With such prodigal supplies of material
for decorative arrangements, it Is duty
as we'll as pleasure to use them artis-
tically, but unfortunately very many per-
sons do not do this. If they are con-
scious Of their deficiencies. they attrib-
ute them to natural defects in taste and
think they cannot be remedied. This Is
a, mistake. and, while it may be beyond
the talents of the average person to learn
to create unerringly marvels Of floral
taste, one can learn to arrange flowers
simply and effectively by a little intelli-
gent study.
The fully elaborated art Of floral ar
arrangement belongs to Japan, but Its uni
versal characteristics and it's principles
are being adapted and adopted every
where that they become known, for the
superiority of the Japanese treatment of
flowers and plants is obvious to the least

ground that the artist must be thoroly i'm
bued with the sympathetic feeling for his
material, till he possesses almost the same
love for their qualities as for those Of
human beings.
{. When one mas learned to rank floral
picture with the permanent works Of art,
one need not be reminded that equal care
should be spent on the placing and sur
roundings. One Of the subtle touches Of
beauty suggested by Mr.. Weed is the use
of a handful Of loose blossoms arranged
carelessly on a table or stand near vase
Of the same kind Of blossoms or the
placing vase of the same or harmonious
blossoms near and below a wall recepta-
ole, thus accentuating the beautiful effect.
Mr.. Weeds adaptations from the Jap
anese are very good and practical and the
lessons that he emphasizes are SYM
metry, harmony and simplicity. Among
the particular contributions which he finds
valuable are the bamboo holder, which
has the unique value and the splendid con-
| tributions Of pottery, beautiful in line and
color and reasonable In price. One of the
most valuable chapters In his book is a
description of the various kinds Of Jap
anese wares that may be purchased in
this country and Of the American and
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-07-18


Flower receptacles are divided broadly
by the Japanese into three kinds those
used for standing on a shelf, table or
dais; those intended for hooking against
the wall or a pillar, and those suspended
by chains or. cords from a beam or ceiling.
Japanese floral art that is the most adj
nirable and at the same time the most
foreign to western ideas, is the harmony
Of season. On this point Mr.. Gender says:
"That extravagant taste which demands
for it's satisfaction the grand. rare or novel
and is unmoved by the modest attractions
of more familiar surroundings, is little
shared by the mass of this people, who
bestow their chief sympathy on the hum
bier aspects of nature. The secret, then,
Of Japan's floral fame and floral enchant-
ment lies rather in the care that people
bestow on natures simpler gifts than in
any trascendent wealth or. production.
Treasured chiefly as heralds Of the season,
and as inseparable from the favorite pur-
suits and paStimes of outdoor life, Jap
anese flowers are by no means esteemed
in proportion to their scarcity or difficulty
Of culture. The native florists are not
deficient In Horticultural SKILL and produce
in certain flowers forms of considerable
artificial beauty; but the popular taste
shows partially for the more ordinary
and familiar flowers, endeared by custom
and tradition
Japanese floral artists carry the idea of
familiarity so far that they will not permit
! the use Of unknown flowers, taking the

The receptacle for flowers holds the

background does to the painting. Both
vase and flowers are the distinct express
sion OF two different arts. and In order to
be in harmony must accord in spirit as
well as in color, in line and in general deo-

Several novelty seeking society

on the lookout for evening engagements.
Rumor has it that petitions will be cir

dom Everybody realizes that If the bag
pipe were once let loose in a private draw

would be seriously imperiled.
The two girls leading off in this latest
accomplishment are the daughters OF Lord
Archibald Campbell and the daughter OF
the late William Black, novelist and
newspaper editor. Both young ladies were
instructed in the noisy art by the best
known bagster, if one may invent the
term, in England or Scotland. His name
is Fraser, and he is the man whom King
Edward recently attempted to lure away
from the Scottish regiment, with which
he has so long been connected, to be pr,

Fraser decided not to break associations
of long standing.
