LION HEAD OF xooR1No-Posr.

excavating the remains of the temple
of Diana, in the district called the
Campo del Giardino, near the shores
of the lake, was so much impressed
by the persistence of the tradition
that he hunted up the records and,
after reading what had been done,
decided to search the lake for the
tabled galley. He gave credit to his
predecessors of trying to tell the
truth, and this is what he found.
In the middle Of the fifteenth cen
fury Cardinal Prospero Colonna. who
then owned the land around Lake Ne
mi, was so much impressed by the
tradition that he employed Leon Bat
tista Albert, the great architect and
engineer, to raise the two galleys,
which, it was said lay at the bottom
of the lake. Alberti made use of &C.
noese sailors skilled in diving; they
were able to report on the size of
the ships and to attach to them Crap
ping hooks, one of which was subse-
quently found by Signor Borghi's

Lovely Drawinu-Room Gown.


A lovely gown worn in a fashion
able drawing-room the other day was
of black net. It was trimmed with a
very heavy lace applique. This trim
ming extended around the foot of the
gown and up the front. The lining
OF the dress was of black satin.
But the distinguishing feature lay in
it's note of blue. For the gown, which
was Of heavy black net, lustrous and
trimmed with much gorgeousness, was
belted around the waist with a wide
blue sash. This, which was banded
around the waist to form girdle, was
tied on the back in a heavy knot,
while the ends hung down to the foot
of the skirt. They were wide sash
ends, too, and made a beautiful note
Of color upon the skirt.
This fancy for wearing a blue sash
with a black gown is quite growing
one and is to be observed frequently.
Again, a wide red satin ribbon sash is
tied around the waist of an all-black
gown. So that the note of color is
complete.

Velvet Hat Trimminu,

A new and simple method of using
wide ribbon velvet on large hat was
exemplifed by woman lunching at
Sherry's. The hat was dull green. 1t
had wide brim and low round crown,
the latter very small in proportion to
the brim. The straw was a fine chip
A band of dark green velvet encircled
the crown, and from it, at irregular
intervals, extended plain fiat widths of
the velvet ribbon, the ends cut in two
points-that is, a V-shaoed section was
cut out of the centre at each emf.
These pointed sections were of differ
ent lengths, and one extended nearly
to the edge of the brim. Two or three
similar sections were fastened to the
underbrim, which f1ared up a little at
one side.-New York Tribune.

.HYaNA BEAM HEAD.

cries became known the Italian gov
eminent stepped in. 1t prevented the
removal of the objects found for a
long time, during which they were sub
jected to exposure to the weather and
other perils. Much of the wood re-
covered-Signor Borghi says it
amounted to 1900 feet-decayed or
was plundered by the neighboring
peasants, who used it for fireWOOd.
Exploration Of the ships is now at
a standstill. The Italian government
sent marine engineer to investigate
and he recommended the draining of
the lake to below The level where the
ships are stranded. This will require
much money and will involve a great
deal of litigation with the riparian
owners, and as the Italian government
is very poor the ships in Lake Nemi
are likely to remain undisturbed for
long time.
It is interesting to note the conclu-
sion to which Signor Borghi has come
with regard to the character of these
ships in the course of his researches.
According to him there is no question
Of pleasure yachts of Tiberius or of
Caligula; in fact, the art of the Sec
ond ship points back to the time of
the republic. He believes that the
vessels were connected with the tenn.
pie of Diana.
Diana's temple at Nemi was long
place of pilgrimage. It was the tenn
pie in the grove that gave the names
to both the villages near the lake.
Nemi is from Menus, the lake is Ne
morensis, while Genzano, near by, is
from Cynthiana, .one of Diana's names
There is proof of the great magnifi-
cence Of the temple on shore, and
he holds that for some sacred reason
these vessels were built and decorated
splendidly as part of the sacriicial
worship Of the goddess. The theory
is more plausible than that which at.
tributes the building of the ships to

surely 1900 years old and very pos
sibly two or more centuries older
STILL
The relics were procured from the
bottom of the lake nine years ago by
Slgnor Eliseo Borghi, an Italian arch
eologist, who was working on his own
account with no assistance from the
government His discoveries made
great sensation and some account of
them appeared in the newspapers at
the time. The immediate effect of
publication was to make the Italian
government step in and Interfere
with all further investigation.
Nemi is picturesque little town in
the Alban hills, twenty miles out OF
Rome, familiar to all travellers in
Italy. It has been painted time and
again by artists, and is known partic-
ularly through Turner's charming en-
craving. The lake of Nemi is the
most beautiful spot that is seen in the
Allan trip from Rome. 1t is the crater
of an extinct volcano sloping down
abruptly, so that the water becomes
very deep a few yards from the
shore. Close to the lake are the YES
tiges of an old temple of Diana.
From time immemorial the tradi-
ton has existed among the peasants
of the district that somewhere in the
lake a Roman galley was sunk. The
= legend ascribed it to Tiberius, whose
name is attached to many classical
antiquities by the fancy of the people,
and the mythical galley was called
the nave di Tiberio, a name that may
suit it as we'll as any other. Classical
scholars who followed up the myth
came upon a story of the Emperor
Caligula's building an immense vessel
on the little lake, wherein he held his
orgies. It was a structure Of extraor-
binary magnificence; some held that
it was built of stone in the lake in
the form of a ship, but modern archie
fologists agreed that, whatever truth
there might be in the story, the ship
or the building had disappeared long
ago and that it was folly to talk of
recovering any part Of it. This in
spite of we'll authenticated records of
beams and other debris drawn from
Lake Nemi by fishermen and others.

Showinq the Comma Mode.

One new gown in advance of the
season deserves mention, since it rep
resents the coming mode in dress
toilets. Intended for blonde young
woman, it is of the loveliest shade of
rose pink silk of a weave closely re-
!sembling Louisiene. The skirt is dane
ing length and is made on a founda-
ton of white taffeta. The ruffles,
which are deep, are shirred on in
fancy design, making scallops and
small rosette effects. There are two
straight panel in front. The bodice
has yoke of cream, snowdrop-pattern
lace and deep fall of the same over
the shirred front of the bust and over
the shoulders; the sleeves are elbow
in length and consist of an upper
sleeve in three deep scallops of silk,
shirred on the edges and bordered
with lace, under which is a full pulled
sleeve of rose pink chiffon with a lace
fall. The high girdle is of silk and
lace with jet nailheads set in the cen
ter Of each Of the six small rosettes
which form the front as we'll as the
back decoration. About the bottom of
the short bodice is a deep flounce of
lace, which falls over the hips and
forms ruff1e. The stock and the front
OF the yoke show narrow trace of
gold and black, which, together with
the jet nailheads, gives the requisite
touch of black which is almost indis-
DenSable if the costume is to have the
best style.

EVERYTHING Tucked.

Everything is shirred or tucked this
summer. Shirt waists are tucked,
and whole frocks are tucked, and
smart little coats are tucked or plait-
ed all over Gowns of soft materials
are shirred, and it is the prettiest pos
sible way to make them The one
illustrated this week is a charming
example. 1t is of white dimity, dotted
with pink. The waist has a shrred
yoke, and then blouses over a girdle
of pink silk. The skirt is shirred in
four places, and finished with a little
ruff1e at the foot. A hat of white
shirred lawn is worn with this frock,
the only trimming being a big soft
bow of pale pink ribbon. The shirt
waist illustrated this week is of a de-
sign suitable for silk linen, or any
wash goods. The flat little box plaits
are very smart, and the lace or en-
broidery used down the front and
around the neck gives a very pretty
finish.
