America today-although 1t is mostly Irish
crochet lace. or it's imitation which Amer
leans wear. and limitations of the points of
Venice, which have been made famous In
every age.
Cluny, Lille, Antwerp and Brussels would
scarcely recognize in the laces which bear
their names today those threads and pat
terms of lace which made them celebrated
throughout the known world centuries ago.
although the lacemakers every season try
to get better limitations of the rare laces Of
the past.
An American woman, the Countess di
Brazza not only revived the making of fine
lace among her tenantry in Italy, but ex-
hibited lace of their manufacture in Ameri-
ca and made it popular here.
Few are now willing to manufacture the
wonderful lace of Flanders when such work
is done at the expense of sight before the
age of thirty is reached, that real Brus-
sells and Mechlin and fine Venetian points
are now but visions of past age. when
patient toilers, cropping their way into end
less darkness, wove dreams of Towering
fields and singing birds and coral wreaths
from ocean groves into a mesh whose film
was stronger than the slender nerves Of
sight, and whose flowers and birds endured
when sight had gone.

Dancing foot gear for boys of all ages are
patent leather pumps, which will be worn
during the winter with white stockings and
sailor suits of white cloth. Nautical en-
blems in colored embroidery and silk ties
will bedeck the suits, while the white socks
will be clicked with color or black.
OF course. many children and quite large
girls as well are unable to stand the eX-
posture of cut-out bodice once the autumn
winds have begun to blow But for the
smaller maids the fleet of a low cut is made
by white CAMP. and the same stylish pre-
tention may be obtained for larger girls
with white fuckers of varying widths. AS
long white is next the face the dressy
look is preserved. But a collarless tucker
or CAMP will promote a more gala look than
will one with a high stock.
In short. bare necks are the fashion, anl:
because of this almost many soft muf-
filings are provided for the Juvenile dancer
as for the grown-up. Pretty shawls seen
in ice woods in white and baby pinks and
blues. whose fairy-like fneness renders
them especially suitable to young folk Ro-
man scarfs in silk and wool are also worm
and there are pretty sewing silk squares
with fringed borders. all of which provide
mufflings of the right weight for the over
heated moment near an open window.

Is New York Extravaganza
From the Boston Herald.


Arrivals on late trains who have not
taken the precaution to wire ahead for
their rooms go from house to house look
ing for accommodations in the upper part
of New York. That certainly does not look
like hard times. Nor does the big fleet at
the yacht races point to any lack of funds
on the part of the general public Thou
sands upon thousands of tickets are sold for
each days race for from So to S. apiece
that merely covering the transportation ex-
pense and not providing for food or for a
state room So far the big steamers have
reaped rich harvest. even if they have to
be kept idle on the off days Theaters and
roof gardens are crowded every night. Not
cortent with paying 81. the box-off1ce price,
to see poor show at some of the theaters,
in many cases the only good seats have to
be obtained from the SPECTATORS. who do
business in the most bare-faced way. All
this lavish expenditure for amusements that
is so marked to any observer in New York
must mean that people are either living far
beyond their incomes or else these re-
markedly prosperous times in spite of the
bad slump in stock and bond prices.

garlands and put on in the same way. The

as such materials require the background
of silk for a good effect. Having the I'm

slant pressing they need
Suitable and becoming accessories for
these evening frocks must be included in
the school wardrobe, and not the least of
these is a neck chain of some sort. All
the world of school girls loves jewelry,
but it need not necessarily be of the expen-
sive variety.
Real Necklaces.
The long turquoise and coral beads are
strikingly effective when wound several
times around the throat In necklace fash

some simple description will make the heart
of it's youthful wearer still lighter and add

world like the border of tiny slate. This
may hang with her tiny Spangled fan by

a silk bag which matches the costume, and

Not even children Of the kindergarten age
are exempt from the need Of festive gar
ments, as afternoon dances also frequently
inaugurate the opening of their schools. So.
even for the smallest fry party frocks and
gallant Jack Tar dance suits may be bought
ready made at the outfitters at prices that
astonish, SO sweet are the little garments.
Sometimes the prices astonish the other
way, but it is usually imported dearness

of the getup atones for it's expense
For example, a party frock for a girl of
six was of white silk tulle garlanded with
tiny pink flowers The full gathered skirt

NEW YORK, September 3, 1908
If Judgment may be formed from the
quantities of maiden millinery now occupy
ing smart dressmakers September. is pri-
marily a month for schoolgirls. Every
where, in some form or other. their ward
robes are displayed, the boarding school
trousseaus in many cases including such
trlfes as handkerchief and wash stocks.
The existence of these details in such
places is explained by the fact that they
are made to match special bodices or
tunes. Blouse waists in silk, linen or
wool will have the white linen or silk stock
and cuffs to be worn with them, embrod-
cred in the color of the bodice. Delightful
little handkerchiefs of fine linen show mar
row borders and monographs in delicate
, colors. and others of French null for more
festive use edged with laces in simple
patterns. These are designed for the
dances which inaugurate most school open
ings, and which occur at scattered inter-
walls during all the term
AS to the dance frocks themselves, never
did maiden fnery more charmingly pre-
serve schoolgirl traditions while bending to
the demand of luxurious period How
ever rich the material of the evening gown,
or large the amount of handwork expended
upon it, a girlish simplicity is always
etriven for in the general effect. This is,
in turn. emphasized by many childish de-
tails, such wide ribbon sashes, ribbon
oandeauX in the cOiffure and large bows on
the slippers. Then. the majority of
these gala maiden frocks in virgin
white, the ingenious air prescribed by fash
Ion is intensified and its becomingness in
creased tenfold.
The French models in evening gowns dis
. played by the children'S outftters for
schoolgirls show more costumes in color
than in white But only the paleSt tiatS
are employed-aZures as faint the sky
of perfect June day, pale corn, yellows
and wild rose pinks.
Cream and White.
With these tints, ENTHUSIASTICALLY If
the ma terial admits of such splendor-will
be employed the rich cream and dead white
laces of the season. These form bertha
effects of many sorts. skirt borders, inser-
tons and sleeve falls. Only with such text
as organizes, Swiss and mousseline
are the Trailer wash laces considered in
keeping, though Valenciennes insertions
are sometimes used, and with quite dainty
effect. upon crepes.

Engagement Bracelet.

Designers have been busy with love af-

ring will probably never lose its favor, but
there are now several novelties In the way
of engagement gifts that vie with the ring

poses the portrait of the giver.

Rfngtaii Monkeys.

The ringtail monkey, one of the most
valuable and expensive of the smaller
animals, is caught in an interesting
way. A %cocoanut is split in two and a
banana with a piece of wood running
through it placed lengthwise through
the nut, the two halves of which are
drawn together by wires. Then a hole
is cut large enough for the monkeys
paw to enter. The monkey spies the
tempting nut from his tree. He hops
down, looks it over, sees the hole and
smells the banana inside. He is fond
of bananas. Putting his paw in, he
grasps it, but the wood prevents it from
coming out. Then the catchers appear,
and the monkey runs for a tree. But
he cannot climb because of the cocoa
nut on his paw, and he will not let 60
of that, so he is captured, paving wild
~ at the tree trunk.

One of the old governors of the Caro-
linas was a man who had lived Il farm
er's life most of the time until he was
elected, and his wife, having never
seer a steamboat or a railroad and
having no wish to test either one, re-
fused to accompany her husband to the
capital.
When the governor reached his desti-
nation he found that almost all the
other officials were accompanied by
their wives. and he sent an imperative
message to his brother to fetch Me-
linda along
The brother telegraphed, She's
afraid even to look at the engine"
The governor read the message and
pondered over it for a few moments.
At the end of that time he sent off the
following command:
"Bill, you blindfold Melinda and back
her on to the train"
Melinda arrived at the capital with
the victorious Bill t~wenty-four hours
later.

Size of the Oceans.

Most men seem to be as ignorant
about the size of the sea as they are OF
the distance between the heavenly
planets. Invention gives q few inter
esting facts: The Pacific covers 6S,OOO,-
600 miles, the Atlantic 10000, 900 and
the Indian, Arctic and Antarctic oceans
100000. To stow away the contents
Of the Pacific it would be necessary to
fill a tank a mile long, a mile wide and
a mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures, the Pacific holds in
weight 94S,0 GO, 900, 900, 600, 900, 900 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth of not
quite three miles. Its water weighs

to contain it would have each of it's
sides 430 miles long and deep.
