Pretty Yachting Costume.

For the warm days of the summer
yachting season the fancy linens are
in high vogue among the fair yachts
women. In one gown the double effect
of coat and blouse is cleverly attained
in the cut of the fronts. Coming well
below the curve of the hips, the little
blouse waistcoat is inserted in the
loose fronts, fastening invisibly under
the strap at the left side. A belt Of
white suede encircles the waist, pass
ing beneath the front straps and CIV
ing loose effect to the coat. The
sleeve is plain, with dark blue linen
cuff inlaid with the white suede, and
the white suede further appears as a
piping to the straps which decorate
the full thirteen-gore skirt. The little
round sailor hat is likewise in white
suede and simply trimmed with
broad band of black velvet tied in a
fiat, square bow at the side.

COSTUMES OF MODERN WAR.
Combatants Already Are Spending
100000 Every Day.

1t comes pretty high for nations tC
quarrel these days when implements
Of warfare have such tremendous pow
ers of destruction and so much deli
cate machinery plays such an import,
ant part in the game.
Military experts have figured out
that the war in the Far East is now
costing the belligerents just about
$4,000, 600 a day. OF this sum it Is es-
timated that the cost to Russia is
$l,S00,000 and to Japan $l,Z00,OOO.
That the war is proving more expen-
sive to the Russians than to the .Japa-
nese is due to the fact that it is being
fought SO far away from the main
hase.
If Great Britain should happen to
become involved in the struggle the
experts think it would mean the
waste of s5.O00,00O day, s35 ,O0O. 600
for every week the struggle lasted
And these figures take no account of
the initial cost of fitting OFT the
armies and fleets.

A Good Summer Drink.

An excellent summer drink which
is very popular in England. and might
be drunk to larger extent in this
country, is rhubarb wine.
For rhubarb wine 1t Is necessary to
have ripe rhubarb. Into one gallon
OF boiling water put eight pounds OF
rhubarb, in thin slices; place in a
pan, and cover closely with thick
cloth or blanket, and stir three times
a day for week. Then strain
through a cloth, and add four pounds
of lump sugar. the juice of two lem
ons and the rind of one.
To fine" the wine. take one ounce
Hof isinglass and one pint of liquor and
dissolve at slow heat Add to the
rest of the liquor when quite cold
and cask it. Do not bung the cask
until the fermentation is over. The
quality of this wine improves very
much with keeping.
