Kate Clyde Tells of the Things They Say and the Thinsr They Do AT LARCHMONT

ity. and the young girl is no match for them. Also. the male population of Larchmont is of a peculiar order. The men are either very old codgefs who sit on the club verandas imbibing mint Juieps and racy gossip, punctuated by more mint juleps, or else very young and "kiddified" youths who want to show how very grownup they are By initiating the older men and conse- quently having violent headaches the next day for their pains. They also think 1t smart and a sign that they are grown up to cultivate the mar ried women.
 So the poor girls have to depend on the occasional man who drift in from their yachts. which they don't do any oftener tha nthey have to, for its so much more fascinating out in the open. And. besides. they nave their own par. ties of friends on board.

NO CLUE TO LYNCHERS
SHERIFF BLACKWELL INvEsTIGAT-
 ED THE SARDIs AFFAIR.
Returned With Dallas Dragoons After Futile Search for Men who Hung Murderer Bell Sat-
 urday Morning.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Aug. '.
 Sheriff F. Nj. Blackwell and the Dal- las Dragons whom he had organized into a posse, returned to Selma early this morning from Sardis where they investigated the lynching of Edmond Bell, a negro who was hanged and shot yesterday morning by a mob reported to have been composed of negroes.
 Sheriff Blackwell found the body of the negro still suspended, but he was unable to discover any evidence of the identity of the lynchers. Bell was found by the posse in thicket near Sardis. He had been hanged from a sweet-gum tree, the rope that suspend ed him had stretched so that his feet almost touched the earth. His body was horribly mangled by the scores of bullets.
 The execution was a new one and the hangman's knot had been tied very neatly, the knot being fastened just behind the left ear as is the practice of legal hangmen. No drop had been used. Bell apparently having been hoisted clear of the ground.
 MT. Blackwell stated today that he had .been unable to obtain evidence about the persons who lynched Bell. The constables from whom the prisoner was taken said the mob was composed of negroes. most of whom were masked. Those whose faces were not covered were strangers to the Sardis neighbor- hood.
 It was suspected that white men may have had part in the lynching. but the constables testified that every person in the crowd was a negro. The Sardis neighborhood last night and today has been very quiet and tho mob seems to have been as orderly as 1t Is possible for an unlawful gathering to be.

She also gives parties on board her yacht, or, rather. her husbands yacht. and you may be sure that all the young men angle for invitations. And at the hops you see her in the most decouete of gowns flirting with half a dozen mon and smiling cheerfully at the long line of young wallflowers. who don't dare re- sent 1t, for she gives such nice par ties, and they don't want to be left out.

The Bull Didn't Know.

Congressman Jones of Connecticut, (only that isn't his name). had an overweening sense of his own import ance.
 One day while on neighbours farI1 he went across a pasture in which d vicious bull was grazing. Tarus gave chase and after lively sprint the Con- gressman reached the fence and clam bered over just in time to prevent the bull from assisting him.
 Boiling over with Eage. he sought the farmer and protested in lurid lam guage against the action of the bull.
 The farmer made light of the trci- dent. Inasmuch as the Congressman wasn't hurt he saw no reason for get ting excited.
 Do you know who I am?" demaud- ed the Congressman.
 No replied the farmer.
 T am Congressman Jones" was the reply as the man with the wounded dignity struck an attitude.
 Did you tell the bull that?' was the quiet rejoinder. which brought the interview to close.

Th. Shoe of the Moment,

As I have said. .he shoe of the mo-
 ment. is above all. dainty. When I
 was in town shopping the other day I
 stopped in at a smart shoe place near
 the Waldorf to leave an order for can
 vas shoes. and they told me that nearly all their new shoes were made on the low pump or garden tie order. with half thin soles and French heels. There Is a craze just now for the cham pagne colored leather. and this may be worn both with pongee and with white gowns. Next in favor come the brown shades. and never before has there been such vogue of tan shoes. The newest shoes. however. come in suede leather or buckskin of a rich golden brown shade. When they are worn with silk stockings of the same shade the effect is ultra smart. The proper backgrounds for such dainty footwear are a pongee gown win brown touch- es. a brown bow in the hair or a brown hat and. above all. a brown sunshade. And. really. these touches of brown are most becoming to young and old.

 Another frock which graced the same occasion was of champagne col ored chiffon voile. the neck being of the same Dutch description. Both waist and skirt were composed of tiny ruffies edged with tinted valenciennes. With this was worn a pair of cham pagne colored kid slippers and pink embroidered champagne colored stock ings.
 A third gown which belonged to the afternoon order, but which was none the less smart, was of that expensive open meshed linen which comes in such soft, creamy tint. The entire dress was trimmed with coarse meshed linen lace. The waist. for instance, had a yoke of :. with long strip down the front and two bands coming across the upper sym and also across the body of the waist a little way.

A Dainty "CrcatiOn.s

Last night after an entertainment at the club we went aboard one of the yachts in the harbor and had supper. It was one of those semidressy occa- sions which are so trying. Half the women were in evening dress. and the other half had retained the afternoon frocks in which they had witnessed some rowing contests in the afternoon. Among the dinner dresses was the prettiest creation, which I must de- scribe to you.' It was of rose pink silk null made up over white silk to give 1t a lighter shade. It was trimmed with bands of shirring and little val enciennes insertion of the same shade of pink. The waist was made with a Dutch neck-which means that 1t was cut away for about three inches In round shape-and this was bor- dered with three rows of shirring and a tiny lace edge. The rest of the waist was laid in two more rows Of shirring about three inches apart, and the fullness was gathered into boned belt The skirt. which was shirred at intervals, had a wide fiounce with heading. It was cut round length and allowed glimpses of a very pretty pair of slippers and silk clad ankles.
