Fancy stocks are much simpler

Turnovers of finest linen are de-

Pelerine collars slightly draped in

The Millinery of Summer.

The large and the small hat are in
equal favor this. season. For semi
dress occasions the small or medium
sized turban or sailor is perhaps in
better taste, but the vogue OF the
wide dropping shoulders in costumes
and wraps will undoubtedly make the
picture hat more popular than ever.
The blending of delicate pink and
blue is a feature of many hats, and in
the association not only of small
flowers but of ribbons as well is this
dlscernible. Green also is favored
color, and for the hat to complete a
green toilette or to be worn with a
black or dark blue or natural-col-
ored pongee or Shantung gown, it is
q most attractive shade. Green trim

touch when the hat is black, blue,
ecru or white. Brown and green is
another popular combination.
No form of headgear is more charm
ing than the dainty lingerie hat made
in simple baby" shape out of the
finest lace or embroidery, with a
large bow of ribbon as it's only trim
ming. These hats have a girlish eff

be worn only by the youthful and
with dainty frocks.-From The De-

Kitchen UtensiI Handle.

There are innumerable disadvan
tages in having to handle pans of va
rious kinds which are provided with
permanently attached handles. Burnt
fingers frequently result and when
cloths are used to lift the pans the
acme of cleanliness is not always per.
missible. Then, too, there are pans
which are not, in the nature of things,
provided with handles. and the house
wife is left to her own devices to find
means of lifting these from the stove
A Pennsylvania man, inspired prob
ably by the admonitions of his wife,
has devised a detachable handle that
will meet the requirements of the
situation. 1t can be used in lifting
any pan. can be attached in an instant
and will hold the pan as securely as

Cinuerie Hats.

The lingerie hats of exquisite ba-
tiste or null or fine Swiss embroider-
les and Valenciennes lace are lovelier
than ever this season, and innumer-
able changes are rung upon combina-
tons of lace and flowers. Nets plain
or dotted with large chenille waters
are shirred and plated into airy,
broadrimmed shapes and trimmed
with flowers and soft silk scarfs.
Shaded straws and straws of count
less new weaves are shown. Linen
hats inset with lace and picturesque
in shape are among the new offerings
as well as more severe linen models
for outing and mourning wear.
Garden punches and flower wreaths
divide the honors and there are many
flowers and bud fringes which are
used profusely. Cockades, choux, ro-
settles, mercury wings. cupid wings
and quilts are called into service for
the sailor hats.

Tucked Sailor Blouse,

The sailor blouse is ever in demand.
1t may vary in detail. but essentially
is always the comfortable favorite
that is so indispensable. This one is
novel, inasmuch as it includes fronts

length and sleeves that are tucked
above the elbows while they form full
puffs below, and is made Of pale
blue linen with collar of white and
shield and trimming of embroidery,
but is quite as we'll suited to a long
list of fabrics. For yachting and SINH
lar sports it is admirable made of light
weight serge or mohair while all the
many linen and cotton fabrics are
much to be desired for the cotton
gowns.
The waist is made with fronts and
back and is finished al the neck with
a big sailor collar. The back is plain
but the fronts are laid in a box plat
at each edge with three tucks at
each side and beneath the box plaits
the closing is made. The sleeves are
in one piece each, tucked at their up
per portions and gathered into
straight cuffs. The shield and stock
collar are separate and arranged I'M

Hard to Duplicate Her.

Col. Allen S. Williams has his own
troubles outside of editing,a nautical
magazine and managing the Lillipu.
tians in Dreamland. A reporter came
to his midget belle with a proposition
to make her famous. II was this: She
was to initiate the lost child on the
upper east side, who slid down the
chimney for fun and reached paradise.
1t didn't appeal to Mr.. Williams, but
he hesitated to stand in the way of
the miniature star.
1T didn't worry me long, though"
said he; "she was equal to dozen re.

Automatic COUPLING.

There is probably no other occupa-
ton for men which shows such large
list of accidents and deaths in COM
parison with the number of Employee
as railroading and if there is one
branch of this business which is more
dangerous than another it is the
coupling of cars in the yards at the
terminals and freight sidings. Of
course, the introduction OF the auto
matte couplers has reduced greatly
the number of accidents from this
source, but it is still necessary for an
employee to station himself at each
junction Of the cars, to manipulate
the coupler head by means of the
lever on either car and in this there.

cautious.
Perhaps the largest number of
couplings is made between the switch

for this work there has just been in
troduced an automatic arrangement
which enables the engineer to connect

without leaving his cab. Within easy

Smartest Facing for Hats.

BY all odds the smartest facing for
hats tc be worn with tailored dresses
is that built from narrow lingerie
frills. A facing of net is cut to fit the
hat, then covered with innumerable
rufiles of narrow lace, either gathered
or accordion pleated. Valenciennes
lace lends itself best to this sort OF
facing, and if vest, collar and hall
sleeves of lace edged flouncing are
worn with the linen suit, the har
monious effect with the hat is very
good

Machine That "Masnifies" Time.

Machine That "Magnifies" Time.
Although the stroboscope is not a
new device, it has been applied re-
Gently to some interesting investiga-
tons into the nature of certain rapid
motions. Briefly, the device mechan-
ically reproduces at moderate speed
successive views of an object moving
SO rapidly that it cannot be seen by
the unaided vision. In rapidly re-
vClving wheel, for instance, the
spokes are apparent as a mere blur,
or else are quite invisible to the eye.
BY the stroboscope, a movement
which takes place in hundredth part
of second may be seen drawn out to-
a quarter of second, or even more;
the time of its movement, is, as it
were, magnified almost any number OF
times.
Like many wonderful results, this
is achieved simply enough. BY means
of electric sparks fired at rapidly re-
curing intervals, or a revolving disk
with Sits passed in front of lam
tern, the moving object is illuminated
in a succession of f1asheH If the
flashes are repeated precisely as rap
idly as the machine moves, they will
show it always in one position, and it
will seem to be at rest. But, If they
move less rapidly, the machine under
observation will seem to move slowly,
because at each revolution it will be
seen at slightly later stage.
Thus the formation of a stitch in
sewing machine may be watched, or
any other of the thousands of ma
chine movements where it may be
important to see what is completed
at almost lightning speed.
This new use of the stroboscope is
important because it permits the
microscopic study of machine work
ing at it's highest speed, and the
noting of strains and vibrations at all
points, the imperfections and the pos
sibilities of Improvement in its ar
rangement of parts and their relation

How a Mail Thief Was Discovered

Eyes, there are some pretty nice
piClIings in the mail service if the
clerks want to take chances" said
one of the postal inspectors yesterday.
Take the case of just one fellow on
whom we landed recently. In one
year we traced S475 of missing money
to him, and there is no telling how
much he got away with that couldn't
be accounted for. OF the S475, he
swiped as high as $50 in cash from
one letter, and as low as 60 cents.
And these were not registered letters.
which shows the foolishness of send
ing money through the mails without
taking proper precautions. In one in
stance a travelling man sent his wife
81 in a letter II never reached her,
and her kick brought SO more. That
was swiped. too, and the circumstance
of two thefts in one family, one fol-
lowing the other SO closely, was
largely instrumental in casting sus-
picion on the culprit.-Philadelph
