These are the days when the name Long ISL
and takes on a new and sweeter sound it
falls upon the ear of those devoted to the rod
and reel. Timetables become interesting read
ing, and nearly every outbound train from
Brooklyn and Long Island City has its quota Of
fishermen bound for Smithtown. Oakdale, East
port, Brookhayen and other places.
Why?
The trout season in Long Island is now on.
and there is not true disciple of Walton who
does not know what that means. Brooks! Clear,
sandy bottomed streams with shady little hooks
tucked away under overhanging banks and
boughs of trees! And pools-such pools! Deep
unrufled by the wind and free from the direct
rays of the sun! And the best Of it is that
every one of these ponds. these pools and brooks
fairly teens with fish. And such fish!
Those who have eaten Long Island trout
would be tortured by any description Of such
a meal. Those who have not have something
to look forward to-
But sweet as Long Island trout are when
served at the table sweeter a hundrcdfold to
the real sportsman is the joy of pulling them
from the depths Of some shady pool, dripping
diamonds and flashing like polished gold in the
half light of the woods. Those Of NETWORKS
business men who have in seasons past tasted
the joys Of sport like this need better
cuse for turning business cares over to as
sistants and hieng themselves Long Island
ward.
One business man put it aptly when he ad-
mitted to a friend the other day that he was
getting the itch"
This sort of thing is all right" said a we'll
known attorney one day recently, as he gath
cred his law books in his green bag, but now
if these were only trout-sayr' and the way he
jabbed the last book into place was ample evil
dence Of his state Of mind
What do you say if we go out and try the sport
tomorrow" he suggested to the friend with him.
The suggestion WAS agreeable to the friend, and
a morning train out OF Long Island City had
them aboard. To look at them they sat read
ing their papers while the train pulled up grades
ana whizzed across the Long Island flats no one
would have dreamed they were going fishing.

Indispensable to fsherman's luck. and yet their
clubhouse register shows that those two men
caught forty-seven trout that day. ranging in
weight anywhere from 4 half pound to 4 pound

hands No they did hundreds Of other New
York business men are now doing and will con-
tinue to do throughout the fishing season. Ar

private room. There he found everything in
readiness for him: his fishing clothes hanging on
peg in the corner above his fishing boots while
on hooks along the opposite wall he found his

night train back to town completed the days

fully pulled through money making transac-
ton which had hung fire for weeks.
There are several Of the country clubs of Long
Island, with membership made up almost entire
Iy of New-York business men who make a
speciality of fishing as a sport. Believing that
fishing Is one of the best of sports. these clubs
have bought up ares Of territory, including the
best trout fishing waters of Long Island, and are
taking every means TO insure the perpetuation
Of trout in these waters by careful stocking ana
a strict observance of the State laws.
one Of the largest of these clubs is the Long
Island Country Club at PASSPORT Others are
the Wyandanch Club. at Smithtown; the South
Side Sportsmeu's Club, at Oakdale; the Brook
haven Club, at Brookhaven and the Flanders
Club near RHerhead While these clubs we're
not organized primarily as fishing clubs. with
each the sport has developed, until at this sea-
son Of the year it is the chief attraction. Each
of the clubs named has good waters in which to
fish. and its land holdings are ample 20 in

necessary than would at first seem to be the
case. for with the coming of the trout season

Island preserves. season after season. And the
worst feature of their work Is that after they
have robbed the ponds and streams Of the best
trout they generally have the effrontery to go
around later in the season and offer to sell the
clubs for the purpose OF stocking their pre-
serves, some Of the very fish they stole from
them. This was especially true Of seasons in
the past, but the clubs have for the most
part perfected better plans for the protection Of
their preserves. and the oldtime clubmen say
the trout thief will have a hard time OF it this
season

An Illustration Of the way the fish are biting
is afforded by the fact that on the opening day
Of the season at the Long Island Country Club
twenty members of that organization caught 4
total Of 346 trout, the largest Weighing ore
pound and ten ounces. while the average weight
Of all caught was eleven ounces
The Long Island Club which is ore of the
oldest OF the sporting organizations on the
island. was incorporated December 81. 1856 1t

clubhouse at PASSPORT. This club enjoys fishing
In some of the best trout waters to be found in
the island. Great Seatuck, Club Pond, as It
is called. is really two ponds in one. East Pond
and Cooks Pond are both good fishing ponds.
Turtle Pond a smaller body of water while
owned by the club, is controlled by one MEM
ber who, with his friends fishes it exclusively.
The club waters have long been famous for
their trout and many men Of prominence who
lovers OF the sport have been the guests Of
club members from time to time. At the open
ing of the season this year ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Woodruff and some friends spent few
days fishing the Long Island Club waters
They had excellent luck. and it is said that in

SMOOTHING TROUBLE 1T SEA.

Harry Lehr and John Jacob Aston visited
Philadelphia recently in a motor They
stayed overnight in Philadelphia, and during
the evening a number of young men called on
them.
Mr. Lehr was in good spirits His converse
ton was amusing. The talk happened to turn
on sea voyagfng, and be said:
"Once, crossing the Atlantic, a tremendous
row arose among the sailors. They fought
down in the forecastle like a pack Of wild
beasts. Luncheon was going on at the time
and the first officer left the table to see If he
could queI the disturbance.
He had only been gone little while when
the hubbub began TO die down. Everything
was quiet when he returned. The captain called
across the saloon TO him in an approving tone:
Things seem to be smoother now
Yes returned the first officer we have
ironed the sailors, sir "

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW
BY Marion Alcott Prentice.

BY Marion Alcott Prentice.
For Tired Feet am on my feet most
of the day, but Is that any reason why
should suffer as am doing? can
not seem to find any way Of making my
feet comfortabe.-Busy.
When daily occupation compels you to
stand the greater part Of the day, plan
your recreation so that you may rest the
overstrained muscles of the feet and legs;
dancing and long walks are most harmful
to one who suffers from tired feet. Con-
certs, lectures and a ride in the open
country will afford pleasant changes and
refresh both mind and body. Select your
shoes more carefully, remembering that
healthy, well -formed foot, even Of ample
proportions, is to be preferred to a small
foot deformed by tight shoe. Be sure
to have shoes with the moderately low
hell. With high-heel shoes the weight Of
the body Is forced on the toes instead Of
being largely sustained on the balls Of
the feet and on the heels, as 1t should
be. A clever woman gives her plan for
being comfortable tho tired in this man
ner: Keep two pairs of shoes for house
and ordinary wear, one pair half a size
larger than the other; then, by wearing
the smaller pair in the morning and
changing to the larger when the feet be-
gin to grow painful great relief is ex-
perience led. Always have the dress shoes
or slippers Of the larger size and you will
forget all about your feet when out for
the evening. 1t is presupposed that the
nails Of the toes are carefully manicured
and that the hosiery Is well fitting. Both
are essential to comfort.

the ordinary modern type would do well
to avoid these modes. The bouncing,

The silk shawls are especially attractive,

Pointed bodices are seen everywhere.
We are more or less emancipated from
the exaggerated dropping belt, but we
point just as much as ever in the new
girdles. The pointed girdle has the adj
vantage from the aesthetic standpoint,
however, since it extends upward to the
natural waistline.
The latest thing in neck lingerie is the
turnover plating of null or china silk.

edged, and most of them are sold in a

Belts and GIrdles.

If you want to be quite fashionable you
must collect oriental beIts-of course,
with a view to wearing them. Altho the
materials are usually oriental, Japanese
Chinese or Bulgarian. and the buckles are
set with jade, amber, chrysolite and crys-
tai, the making Of the belt and the actual
buckle designs are American. In fact,
these are all done, for one big house, at
least, by a man who has the rare skill
to combine oriental beauty of stuffs with
American practical effectiveness. Old en-
broideries are cut UP to make these belts,
and oriental fabrics are embroidered over
here with rich eastern silks and in de-
signs from rare China tapestries and
lacquer.

ing downward. Its shape is pointed at

Across the front is slid wide gold
buckle, which makes charming orna-
ment as sort of finish for the belt.
Colored belts are much worn. Burnt
orange and pale green are used on black
frocks, and white gowns carry any color.

instead Of ribbon.
