BITS OF FASHION.

Black, dark blue and brown gowns
require light gloves, ruffles, light vest
or yoke and undersleeves, but the ne~
millinery may correspond with the
gown, relieved with the lighter tone.
If touch Of color is needed, add a
cluster of carnations in the dress and
flowers Of corresponding color to the
millinery, but no colored trimmings on
a dark gown of solid coloring.
A2d hats-there never were so many
radical changes. It's as if the whole
world millinery were in state Of up
heaval. Big hats appear here and there
-half-shame-facedb before the tiny, tip
tilted things we've been accustomed to
and liked for their saucy little style
A new brown is around town-bril-
liant in comparison with the rather
lifeless color we usually mean by
brown. 1t is especially pretty in the
horsehair hats, as the ruddy tint in it
takes the light best in horsehair.
The revival of an old fashion is the
sailor hat with wide crown. and mar
row brim. The favorite way of trim
ming them is to drape on a veil of
mousseline de sole in one of the new,
rich shades.
Tiny three-cornered hats for wee
tots are trimmed with three prim ro-
settles of baby ribbon-one on each
place where the brim turns up.
Light weight wash tlannels have
polka dots of color or white embroid-
cred at regular intervals over the
cloth. ~.
Lots and lots of pale blue hats-the
shade that goes with everything-are
worn.
Travelling bags are almost part of
the travelling suit, SO carefully dire they
chosen. ::
More stunning braids are out for
belts. -. -

We went back to Cairo on the cars, and
what do you think, that dead camel that
the Arabs made dad pay fc- was with
the caravan going back to town, cause
we saw him out of the car window with
the hair wore on where dad kicked him
in the side. The tourists say the Arabs
have that camel trained to die every day
when they get to the pyramids. and they
make some tenderfoot pay for him at the
end of each journey. Dad is going to try
20 get his money back front the Egyp-
tian government, but guess he will

and when one hump was not tanning
him in the back the other hump was
kicking him in the stomach, asd if he
had gun he would shoot the camel and
the Arabs, and bust up the show.
By the time dad got SO he could stand
up without leaning against a pyramid
the Arabs came up and they all talked
at once, and drew knives, and it seemed
as though they we're blaming dad for
something. We found an Interpreter
among the tourists. and he talked with
the Arabs, and pointing to the camel dad
had ridden, which was stretched out on
the sand like he was dead, he told dad
the Arabs wanted him to pay for the
camel he had ridden to death, and foun-
dered by letting it drink wagon load of
water, and then entered in race across
the desert, and the interpreter said dad
better pay, or they would kill him.
Dad settled for the camel for a hun
dred dollars, and promise of the skin
OF the camel, which he was going to take
home and have stuffed. Their, man
who pretended to be justice of the
peace had dad arrested for driving OF
of a walk, end he was fined $40 and costs
for that, and then all the Arabs struck
him for money for one thing and an
other, and when he had settled all
around and paid extra for not riding
back to Cairo on the camel. we got
ready to climb up the pyramid. Dad
said he wouldn't ride that camel back
to Cairo for million dollars, for he was
split up so his legs began where his arms
left of, and he was lame from Genesis
to Revelations.

Well, told dad he hadn't better try to
climb up the pyramid, that would go
up, cause I could climb like a goat, and
when got up to the top would fire a
