A SAMPLE OF AMERICAN YOUTH.

Illustrated Sporting News-New
York has cause for self-congratula-
ton in the representative that the state
has chosen for the Cecil Rhodes schol-
arship at Oxford in the person of War
rem Ellis Schutt, Cornell, 1905. The
sturdy Ithacan will be as splendid
type of American manhood as will be
abroad to the English university by any
state in the union. Scbutt's career is
thoroughly interesting. He is the son
Of prosperous farmer who lives six
miles from Ithaca. Young Schutt got
his primary education at a country
school near his home, and then won
four-year scholarship in the Ithaca
high school in competitive examina-
ton. Instead of moving into Ithaca
to live, or even driving to and from
school with one of his fathers teams,
as he might easily have done, Schutt
walked to and from the high school
each morning and night. In this way
he prepared for Cornell university.
His first year in college he. continued
to walk to and from his home. His
scholarship continued to be of the
same high standard as in high school
and he took all the prizes and scholar
ships to which he was eligible, ending
up with the Cecil Rhodes scholarship
at Oxford university. In his sopho-
more year for the first time Schutt en-
tered college athletics There the
trainer took him under his care and
developed him into the greatest cross
country runner in the country. 1t
was here his twelve miles of daily
walking to and from his home counted
in Schutt's favor in the physical condi-
ton of the athlete. He ran in Cornell's
victorious cross-country teams against
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania. On the track team he cap
tured the two-mile intercollegiate run
and lowered the time. Last May he
duplicated the feat and was subse-
quently elected captain of Cornell's
1905 track team. This pisition he
will, Of course, resign upon his going
to England. He is only twenty years
old, stands more than feet in height
and weighs 165 pounds.

A Woman's AGE.

Why will women in this day of en-.
lightment, continue to forget about, or
refuse to tell their age?
If woman looks younger than she
is, then she should be proud of the
fact that she has defined the years.
Naturally one would suppose that she
would be anxious 70 have her friends
know about it.
If woman looks older than she is,
she surely ought to find pleasure in
defending herself against her looks
by publishing the fact that she is
younger than she seems.
But she won't do either. And why
the matter of years is such a sensitive
point with woman is hard to imagine.
A woman that is as truthful as
gospel will-will forget to consult the
bible before she gives her age.
A woman who is truthful ana
deliberate and who usually says
the right thing in the right place,
will SHUTTER and stammer and blush
when anyone mentions her age. One
woman can't grow old any faster than
another. The years add as much to
ones age as to anothers.
A woman who would scorn decep-
ton of any other kind will hedge"
when it comes to telling her age.
If you ask her how old she is she
will laugh and say: you think | am
ashamed to tell, don't you? Well,
I'm not. / had as soon everyone
knew" But when, afterward, you get
to thinking about it, you will re-
member that she was interrupted be,
fore she came to the point, and she
didn't tell after all
The sweetest tempered woman in
the world is likely to fly angry il
asked her age, and why?
1T doesn't make her feel any
younger TO forget how old she is. II
doesn't make her look any younger.
Why woman older than "a is
ashamed to tell her age is one of the
mysteries. 1t is doubtful if they
themselves can tell why It's queer.

In short, is left to chance.
If models are useful to the architect
not less so are they to the building

eide from the reputation of the archi-
tect that everything is all right, but
the odds are that he will get no intel
iigent notion of what he is buying.
Most people have insufficient power OF
dissatisfaction to foresee a structure
from he plans. The architect finds
thai there is but one way to reach his
prospective clients satisfactorily SO
that there cannot possibly be recrimi-
nations when the building is in place,
and that is through the use of models.
Building committees all over the coun-
try are coming more and more to de-
perd on models before they make
final selections. For example, the
Rochester Trust company of Rochester,
n. Y, recently decided to erect a new
and employed the weltknown
firm Of York and Sawyer of New York,

Brush Your Hair,

The hair should be brushed regular
ly TO keep il from falling out and to
keep the scalp in good condition. The
hair itself is easily eleansed with a
good toilet water. but the scalp itself
is too often neglected. A man gen.
orally has pair of brushes, or at
least one good one, but women's
brushes are apt to be very beautiful,
but soft and of little use. 1t is all
very well TO have fancy brush on
the dressing table, but in drawer on,
of sight keep pain enc for general
utility, with good stiff bristles. A fine
hairbrush really should never be pu.
in water, as il loosens the bristles.
When travelling the hair gets very
dusty and soon soils the brushes.

Thinking of Gowns.

White is becoming to everybody. II
reflects the charm of youth.
Many beautiful gowns made of soft
white wolfe are shown by leading
modistes. These are trimmed with
lace and ornamented with sashes,
bows and streamers of white taffeta,
bright pompadour or Dresden ribbon.
Nothing is prettier than these gowns
for afternoon and evening wear for
young girls, young matrons and even
elderly women, for a woman with
white hair is exceedingly attractive in
a gown OF soft white material with the
softening effect of billowing lace about
her throat and hands.
Different kinds of lace are combined
on the smartest frocks of the hour.
Valenciennes and heavy Irish point
are favored combinations. Real lace
is now employed in bewilderina
quantities, and from two to three
varieties of the most expensive are
combined in one gown, and the greater
the difference in the laces chosen the
more effective will be the gown.
Shading" is one of the prett,
fancies Of the season. It is seen in
silken dress fabrics, chiffons, ribbons
and flower. A lovely chiffon scarf of
white ground begins at one end in pale
lavender and runs through several
purple shades into deep heliotrope
or violet at the opposite end.
of all the fantastic trimmings en-
ployed on summer gowns, there is
none more striking that the appliqued
designs done in pique on such delicate
fabrics as silk null. These appliques
are outlined with heavy embroidery
or braid, and show the most con-
ventional patterns, principally in bor-
der effects.

Boston, July 26.-Walklng through
the streets of any city in the midst
Of public and commercial buildings,
the average man has very little idea
of the thought and minute care which
have gone into the work of designing
the various structural features and or

ers of cathedrals, town halls and the
large edifices were in the habit of con-
structing a great many of the parts
tentatively, experimentally, knowing
that if anything did not come out well
there would be plenty of time to tear

structure was never complete. Modern
economy on the ether hand admits Of
no such leisurely procedure. Every
