The Boston Record says:-
The sale of Rudyard Kipling's former
home, "Naulahka," in Brattleboro, VT,
to a resident, dispels the hope which
many of Mr.. Kipling's friends have
cherished of his return to Brattleboro
to live. Both Kiplings hold strong at
tachments for Brattleboro, and have
frequently expressed their wish to
some time return, but they never would
do so while brother-in-law Balestier
remained.

FAMOUS TEACHER OF BRIDGE
William Sergeant MINNEAPOLIS
Glasses in the Most Easel mating Fashionable
Game Day.
Game Of the Day.

Mrs. William Sergeant, who has been
initiating Minneapolis women into the
mysteries Of bridge whist, left last even
ing for Chicago where she already has
classes formed. Mrs. Sergeant is the best
known bridge and whist teacher in New
York. She came to Minneapolis only
few weeks ago and the days have not
been half long enough for her classes. She
had her students in groups Of four and
before one lesson was well ended appi-
cants for the next were waiting.
Bridge has been played in Minneapolis
rather internationally for some time, but it
will doubtless be as much of a fad now as
it is in every place where it has been in
troduced. The women who thought they
knew all about the game have been Mrs.
Sargeant's most earnest pupils and her
friends have been much amused at one
woman, a protested bridge player who
had taught many of the Minneapolis
women what they know of the game. She
was rather 10th to attend a class, argu-
ing that it would be useless as she knew
all about the game. A few minutes chat
with Mrs. Sergeant proved that what she
did know was wrong and she and all Of
her pupils have been busy forgetting
what they did know and mastering the
rules that they should.
Bridge seems to be rather a dangerous
game, for if one knows it one must play
it, so great is it's fascination. A we'll
known man in town was kept home from
his office during Mrs. Sargeant's stay in
town by slight attack of grip. He was
just ill enough to want to be amused and
In despair his wife telephoned for Mrs.
Sergeant and a friend and the woes of

moments work to touch the fingers to the

The position Of the chauffeur is very
different from that Of a coachman, foot
man or groom. It is customary for the
chauffeur to sit side by side with the own
er on the front seat. 1t is desirable that
both men understanding the machinery
should be within reach of it in case of ac-
cident. If the owner does not know much
about the machinery, it is still more de-
sirable that the chauffeur should be on
the front seat. The motor car, in short,
does not have any special place for the
chauffeur, as a carriage does for the SER
want. The chauffeur sits somewhere in
the machine like guest. In case the car
is full he may sit on the floor of the car,
or a more professional place for him is on
the foot of the front seat. with his feet
resting. on the step. He sits on the off
side. Some of the new motor cars have
special adjustable seats for the chauffeur
to be placed in this position.

driver, should be the last to take his seat

placed and that the door Of the tonneau is

Of the perfectly plain Oxfords have their
severe effect taken away by a high, richly
embroidered tongue. The double-strap
slipper with the very high Louis heel
and a seam up the front is among the
new slippers Of the hour. Black patent
leather slippers with silver heels are also
new and the mode.
Have you seen the new shape? That,
too, is a fashion fad. The extreme dip
front is no longer the correct thing. The
French curve is the latest. It is natural
and graceful and. Of course, gives the
always -to-be- desired fiat effect.
To get the French curve women are
wearing new appliance. It is simple
little affair called the Rosalind that works
wonders, holding belt Of skirt, underskirt
and waist exactly at the right place. In
the new shape the hips are slender, the
bust raised a trifle more than it has been,
and the belt tho not a round one, has de-
cidedly lost the extreme dip effect in
front.
In hair dressing, it is the low couture
that is the vogue Big shell pins are
worn and hair nets will be this summer as
much a fashion fad as they were forty
years ago.
Both in skirts and fanciful wraps, what
is known as the sun-plaited idea is the
height of fashion. Perhaps the newest,
snnartest summer wrap. yet shown is
fetching little garment of sun plated
crepe de chine hanging loose and full with
the flowing sleeve showing fine plaits, too
This jacket is made with fiat, deep col
lar of lace and is charmingly graceful in
style. Lace and silk coats also promise
to be much worn straight thru the sum-
mer. The most effective are of crochet
lace over taffeta silk and trimmed with
bands of the silk. Such a coat is always
made loose fitting and has picturesque
full sleeve.
In the model shown the Van Dyke points
of the collar, the loops and drawn work Of
black velvet ribbon, the new puff sleeves,
the clinging general lines, are all that Is
new and pretty. The picture hat, Gains
borough shape, is of black tulle, lace and
ostrich feathers.

1t is the little new fads of fashion that
give the smart girl her distinctive air. 1t
is the way she wears her hat, the way
she adjusts her belt, arranges her veil
and ties ribbon 1t is the fact that she
knows the little new things in fashion
just bit ahead Of other people and that
she wears them when they are a novelty.
Now, here are some Of them, all brand
new, and all worth hearing about and
worth copying.
There is a new way to wear the new
straw turban. 1t must project far out
from the head. It must be pinned to the
head to emphasize the projecting front,
and If adjusted in this fashion, it is quite
the smartest bit of millinery in town.
Then there is the new coquetttsh poke
hat. Every girl who keeps pace with the
new fashions must have at least one hat
among her collection which shows the
brim coming to decided poke in front.
1t is called the "Woffington" poke, and
gives an irresistible charm to the girl
who wears it. 1t is made with con-
