Likes the Dutch Neck.
This is the kind OF girl who approves of
the Dutch neck and elbow sleeves. who
wears neck chains with gems to match each
gown, and all the other little fancies of
the moment, including shoes and stockings
to tone with each costume, One of her fads
Is bobbinet dress, quaint revival which
is enjoying a great vogue this season. A
pretty model of the bobbinet made over
supple taffetas has skirt with the front
gore laid in side pleats banded on either side
with point de Paris lace. The side cores
and back. which are very full and shirred
into the waistband, show alternate groups
of nuns tucks and narrow tucks banded
with lace and running around the skirt.
Yoke and cape sleeve of the blouse are laid
in very fine tucks. The lower part OF the
three-quarter sleeve and the blouse shows
nuns tucks.
The girl who goes in for summer social
life at suburban resort or fashionable col
ony has every opportunity to appear in
most striking garb. For her and for her
sister, whose vacation life is one long round
of sartorial changes, the fashions are sim
gularly picturesque and when hat, parasol,

An experienced traveller frequently en-

II going on a long journey In the sum-
mer, when travel IS at its height, secure
your ticket and sleeping car reservation

until you arrive at the depot.
If you have a through ticket to your des-

can generally have your trunk checked from
your house to your final destination.
In travelling In a sleeping ear, whether you
have an upper or lower berth, you are en-

ALL SORTS OF GIRLS
The Summer Type Of Tradi-
tion Has Disappeared.
ACOMPOSITES SUCCESSOR
THE NEAR-ATHLETE AND HER
CHARMING INVITATIONS.
Her Latest Fad is All-White Serge,
Mohair or Linen, With Just
Touch Of Femininity.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Written for The Star by Katherine Anderson.
The typical summer girl, pictured by nov
elists and cartoonists less than five years
ago-the creature of fluffy hair, guileless
blue eyes and innumerable frills-is passe.
Her reign has been divided between half a
dozen styles of fair vacationistS. each a
definite type of coquette and each in her
own way peculiarly dangerous to mascu-
line hearts.
The Real Sports.
First we have the real sportswoman.
Her fad may be sailing, canoeing, SWIM
ing, pedestrianism, motoring. fishing. golf
or tennis or she may even be an expert at
handling a gun. Whatever her sporting
fad rest assured that Dame Fashion has
had a hand in providing suitable raiment
for her vacation amusement.
If she Is a motorist, she has learned to
avoid the grotesque in her makeup. The
all-enveloping cloak of waterproof silk
takes on the exquisite summer shades and
has its chiffon veil to match. Thanks to
an invisible hair net, even her couture does
not suffer by a century run, and laying
aside wrap, cap and veil she steps forth
on the piazza of the clubhouse as fresh and
attractive looking her friend who has
driven over in leisurely fashion in landau
or phaeton.
Leather raiment Is worn by women who
the short, natty suits worn high boots,
strapped buttoned. The girl who goes
in for canoeing wears a decidedly short
skirt, and this year has elbow-sleeved
blouses to save her the trouble of rolling
up her shirt waist sleeves.
Tennis is unquestionably the game of the
season and the expert player always wears
skirt clearing the ground by four inches
She has this skirt fitted when she Is wear
ing tennis shoes, for the absence of heels
makes a vast difference in the set of the
skirt when she appears on the court.
Fond Of Her Toggery.
Your real sportswoman or athlete wears
her characteristic toggery practically from
dawn till dusk. and does not don frills and
furbelows until the dinner hour. But there
Is to be found at every summer resort what
might be called the near-athlete-the girl
who poses as sportswoman and does 1t
very prettily in clothes that suggest out
door life. yet lack the severity of true atll-
lettc toggery. This Is the girl who wears
beautiful white serge, mohair or linen
skirts which clear the ground by not more
than two inches. Her shirt waists In the

propriate linen stocks, and that most ex-

Only the woman who needs to earn her
living in a great city realizes the import
ance of making good appearance. In
these days of perfect raiment 1t is not
sufficient to be decently and fairly beconi-
ingly dressed. The successful business get
up must express something more-practicai
prosperity in short. and to achieve this every
detail of the costume must be considered.
every accessory accord and the whole shine
with a sublime neatness and a definite
style. And with all of these qualities the
wearer must be conscious Of no restraints.
every garment being made with an eye TO
comfort as well looks.
Without a doubt It is the office costume
Itself which requires the major part OF the
business woman's energies and taste. The
toilet which is to be looked over by the
calculating eyes of the heads OF firms and
affairs must neither be too foolishly femI-
nine nor too severely plain. 1t must expl ess
just the right degree of womanliness. and
belts, coiffures and neck fxingS must be
adjusted in the morning with that extra
carefuness which IS to last through the
day To accomplish some small part of
this, safety pins and hairpins OF several
sizes are necessary for the dressing table.

the best groomed. most properly atttred
maid who gets the first interview. the
same thing holds good with men, and the
wise youth Is he who looks always as II he
had just stepped from the proverbial band
box.
Whatever the season. one business suit
and hat is not enough for the woman who
goes out In the morning and returns at
night. And especially Is 1t by no means
enough In summer, though this season,
with all the inexpensive prettiness which
goes with IL, a wardrobe may be fitted ont
more cheaply than any other.
Best First Choices.
The first choice for an all-round business
suit is a well-tailored costume of coat and
skirt, in some durable and unwashable ma
terial. Wool cheviot Summer weight,
English serge, French flannel and brillIan-
tine are all admirable textures for this.
Small tailors will also supply such cos
tunes out and out. the customer choosing
materials from private or shop samples: or

smart business dresses lately seen included

shown by the cloth gown, whose 5aunty

duck wash belt for leather, etc. quite a
solid cheviot gown may do service all sum-

of the spirit. a natural-colored linen skirt

PONY Y GIRL.

Miss Geneyieye Reddington. a
tWelyt-year-cld girl, Of Cullen, Okla
homa. attributes her escape from being
killed by two panthers in a canyon
near there, to her pony, which set upon
the beasts which attacked the girl and
drove them away by blows from it's
hoofs. Miss Reddington was riding
through the canyon when two large
panthers rushed upon her from the
underground. Her pony stopped at
sight Of the beasts. which dragged the
girl from the saddle. almost stripped
her Of her clothing, and We're rolling
her over and over on the ground when
the pony suddenly ran at them and

head, rendering her unconscious. A

consciousness, the pony was standing
quietly by her side, While the panthers
had disappeared.
