VOGUE of Fluffy ParasoIs.

she is athletic and appears on the
links, on the tennis court and in the
automobile in plain, severe and al
most mannish garb, satisfies the long
ing for daintlness in the afternoon
and evening gowns and in the fluff
ness OF hats and parasols. Nothing Is
more fluffy and charming than the
carriage parasol, tiny, fan-like para
sol, in recent years used almost who'll
ly by elderly women. But the girls
of to-day have recognized in the prim
old-fashioned sunshade a means of
enhancing their beauty, and behold
the little carriage parasol blossoms
like garden. One seen recently was
tangle of white chiffon and violets
hung over a foundation of white silk
under lace. The appearance was more
like an overgrown bouquet than like
an understood parasol.

the lines of white robed singers,
smartly uniformed Zion guards, and

EXPLORING Tour Postponed.

Willard Glazier, the Labrador ex-
plorer, will be unable to carry out
plans that had been formulated for
further explorations in the Labrador
peninsula this season owing to serious
illness in his family during the last

Albany is now quarantined on account
of scarlet fever. Much interest had
been felt in Mr.. Glaciers forthcoming
trip and a number of applications had
been made for permission to accom-.
pany him on his third journey. The
explorer is unable at present to make
any promises for another season.

SAD CONDITION IN URUGUAY.
Revolution Draining the Life Blood
of the Republic.

The battle at Tapumbac, Uruguay,
in which the casualties approach
1000, indicates that the revolution
which has been in progress for over
a year has broken out in acute form
For months the government has been
chasing the rebels, and, having at
last brought them to bay in the prov
ince of Rivera, near the Brazilian
border, has received drubbing at
the hands of the revolutionists. EN-
boldened by their success the rebel
forces will doubtless advance towards
towards Montevideo.
The present war is the outcome of
an election for president. The two
political parties in Uruguay are the
Colorados and the Blancos-the reds
and the whites. In their turbulent
| wars of the last eighty years, in
| which time the country has suffered
| forty revolutions, they much resem

Lancaster, which inflicted upon Eng
land the war of the roses. The reds
have been in control of the govern
ment for the last forty years, during
which time the whites have beer
lighting to dislodge them. When bal
lots failed they resorted to bullets
AT the last election there was a dead
lock, and the whites thought tina
their patient waiting was to be re
warded by turn at the public pump
The reds bribed six white delegate
and elected their own candidate
The whites considered this sufficien
casus belli.
Meantime the country of Urugua
is the unwilling victim of these cor
tinuous revolutions. The schools ar
closed, because between them bot

Hats In Elevators.

Men In New York are not called
-cads," "bad-mannereo" nor "horrid
things II they do not remove their
hats when riding in elevator cars with
women. The question of removing
the hat has been settled there for
good. In office buildings stores and
other public places men do not re-
move their hats as rule. Once In
awhile a man does, but he has all the
earmarks of being from some other
city than the metropolis. In elevator
cars or hotels, II man removes his
hat when women are present he
doesn't do it because 1t Is the custom.
Women Of New York do not expect
men to remove their hats because OF
their presence any more than it would
be expected of them In street cars.

Lace for Ankles.

A pair of lace medallions, left over
from the summer frock, can be put to
excellent use in trimming stockings
10 match the gown.
For instance, with a pongee gown
piped with lace medallions, plain
pair of tan Isle stockings were made
very smart by the use Of lace medal
lions, one just above each instep.
They were first appliqued on the
stockings with silk thread, in very
fine stitches, then she Isle beneath
was cut away, and the edges of the
stocking buttonhole stitched closely
and finely to the wrong side of the
medallion. Worn with brown suede
shoes. they gave dainty finishing
touch TO the costume.

Pretty New CoIors.

New colors are continually making
their appearance and many of them
are very attractive. Onion is the name
given to one of the new colors. It Is
creamy white tinged with gray and
green. Gooseberry green is another
new shade, and pale blue and laven.
der combinations are quite as popu.
lar as they were last season. The
new Shades and colors are a source
of inspiration to milliners. For ex.
ample, hat of pale blue silk has the
crown covered with little enomines in
all shades Of lavender and knots OF
deep purple ribbon are the only other
trimmings. Orchids decorate pale blue
hats, and pansies in puppies and Law
enders embellish both light and dark
blue straws.

WHAT Pixies FEED ON.
Peculiar Diet Ascribed to Them by
Truthful Irjshnan


There is a professional fisherman
Of my acquaintance in Tipperary who
kills many pike during the winter
months, for which he finds ready sale
in the town. He told me of one Gus
toner of his who was in the habit of
so beating him down in price that he
felt justified in resorting to somewhat
questionable means to increase the
weight of his fish. In the manner Of
the winner of the stakes in the cele-
brated Jumping Frog" sporting event,
he would introduce some weighty sub
stance into their interior, stones, bit
of iron railing, etc.
Once he went so far as to stuff two
old handless flatirons he had picked
from a refuse heap down the gullet OF
one before taking it TO his customer,
who, having weighed it carefully, and
after much haggling, paid him frac-
ton less per pound for 1t than he
might have perhaps obtained else
where. Meeting him next day he was
instantly aware that there was trouble
in the wind by the opening remark
What do pike feed on, Paddy?" "Och
and indade, your Honor, but there's
mighty little that comes amiss to thin
lads" he answered; frogs and fish
sticks and shtones they like we'll, but
they would give their two eyes for fiat
irons. Country Gentleman.

evidence showed that he had choked
the woman brutally. The court d.
rected officer Goetz, an immensely
powerful man, to choke the prisoner
in order that he might have practical
knowledge Of how his wife suffered.
The ohicer obeyed with a will, hold
ing the wife-beater until the brutal
fellow became limp, Then Justice

for an hour to let them harden; then
drain and when they are quite dry in
side fill them halfway with pink jelly.
Put them on ice and when the jelly
seems firm fill them up with blanc

serving. Place little sprigs of myrtle
between the quarters. Lemons may be
used instead of oranges if preferred.

Now that there is such rage for
real lace. and also for sleeve frills,
the wide-awake girl will utilize any

fit the wrist, very pleasing and sat
