nicely.
 For sailing and boating there is noth- ing more convenient to wear on ones head than a sunbonnet. No matter how hot or stormy the weather may be noth- ing ruins a bonnet, that is. ruins 1t so that any loss is felt. for the incest of them is easily replaced. and none is so expensive that the cost need worry one. True. the glare or the sun on the water does play havoc with delicate colors. and as these are by all odds the pret- tiest, there is a good deal of fading going on during the season.
 There never was time when so much white was seen in the costumes of the fair sex. More than half the women you meet at the resorts are gowned from head to foot in all white and the remarkable thing about 1t is that the white never seems to get soled as 1t does in the city. Board walks are cleaner than asphalt streets. 1t is true, which accounts partly for the immaculate appearance of our pretty summer girls. White shoes are seen at all times and everywhere. except. of course, in the city. where they arc con fined to carriage wear. but at the sea- shore they ape considered the only thing to wear With light summer frocks. It is certainly a pretty sight to see SO many dainty creatures in purest white. boardwalk or seashore resort looks more attractive than ever, if such thing is possible. Strangely enough. 1t isn't at all difficult to keep these white shoes clean. A trip occasionally to the scourers will make them as good as new for the small sum of twenty-five cents. and. then. they will stand an- other fierce campaign.
 Canvas and suede shoes are both worn but there are more of the former on ac- count of their serviceability. and besides for ordinary purposes they are far smarter than leather. In cut these shoes may be anything that one likes. There are the regulation oxfords for street, or rather should say boardwalk wear, and the pumps are smart for evening. The ties are fastened with rather narrow ribbons or silk faces and the pumps have square bow finish that is very mannish.
 White stockings are invariably worn with such shoes as nothing else would look at all well. These should be of a fairly good thickness as there is noth- Ing so vulgar on the street as a white stocking through which the pink flesh Is visible. The plainer tue. hose the

apt to rub the flesh and make 1t too sore to stand the same suit the next day. With these union suits one can have long sleeves and high neck, If one chooses. but the majority of bathing suits now are made to come we'll up over the throat. It is a fad of the summer girl who swims to wear dainty little linen turnover collar in the neck of her bathing suit This must be im- maculate every day. so that it means having goodly supply on hand to keep them fresh. The first good drenching makes them unfit for another appear ance. It isn't the expense that worries the young women. but the bother of having a fresh collar sewed in daily. Occasionally a silk tie that matches or harmonizes with the suit is fastened under the turnover. the Idea apparently being to make one's bathing suit look as dressy as possible.
 Checked and plaid silks fin light colors are among the novelties fin the bathing suit line. and invariably these suits are ornamented with frills and furbelows that look as though they would never stand good drenching.
 A new idea for dress trimming. or TAtneF dn Oiu one revived ana CnanBeO to suit the tastes of today. is that of trimming gowns with fine leather in all the different fashionable shades. The material is very soft and for that reason adaptable to almost any style or de- slgn. Sometimes the leather Is cut in fanciful shapes. and 1t is then appliqued on the gown material. just as velvet or lace Is. Occasionally fringe made of narrow strips of soft suede Is seen upon gowns. and 1t must be said that it Is a very chic decoration.
 Elbow sleeves are more popular than they were two or three summers ago. when the sunburned maid of the country rolled up her shirtwaist sleeves because she couldn't stand the touch of any thing on her poor scorched flesh. All the smart linen and sheer gowns that have come over from Paris have been made without the long sleeve. The elbow length has been finished with frills of chiffon or 1ace and long suede or silk lisle gloves are worn with these on the street.

Chapel Lecture by DR.. Mason.

One of the very best lectures of
the year was given in the chapel
Thursday morning by Rev. H. C.
Mason. The occasion was signifi-
cant In view of the fact that the
student body, as such, will not
again have the opportunity to hear
Mr. Mason before his departure for
his new field of work. The speaker
called his address "The Signs of the
Times" and gave an epitome of the
evidences of human progress dur
ing the past century. There has
been great improvement in human
comfort. The world has a higher
estimate of the value of human life.
There have been immense strides in
the increase of transportation facil-
tiles and industrial improvement.
The common people have awakened
to life. Religion still stands. The
golden age is before us, not behind
u.s. The whole lecture had the
strongly optimistic tone which
characterizes all of Mr.. Mason's ut
terances.
During the years of Mr.. Mason's
work in this city, he has kept in
touch with the student body. On
all occasions he has shown himself
a friend of the college, and at his
going away he takes with him the
best wishes of faculty and students
alike.

effectively in the papers of the
Hearst syndicate. Taking some of
those adventures as ground plan,
Mr.. Frank Dumont las built up an
exceedingly clever farce comedy,
admirably suited to spectacular dis
play, a quality that the management
insisted upon, as it was determined
at the very outset to make Happy
Hooligan" the most spectacular
farce comedy ever produced. A
wealth of money has been spent on
this enterprise. Since last season
an entire new outfit of costumes and
scenery has been purchased. The
costumes alone have involved an
expenditure of upwards of S25, 900.
and among them are some very
beautiful creations. A company of
the best comedians and specially
artists in the business has been en-
gagged, which includes Eva Daven-
port, Billy A. Ward, Otis H. Wood,
Matthews and Law, the Novelty
Trio, and Charles Saunders.
