front with white taffeta that has a
tiny white chiffon quilting set on over
the inner edges. At each side Of the
front are three large, fiat, cloth COW
cred molds embroidered in silver;
each is fully two inches across; they
are set on three inches apart and two
inches from the edge, the upper two
being an inch and half below the ter
mination of the little capes.

Ihn sound Of 4 sunbeam.

One Of the most wonderful dlscoy-
cries IN science is the fact that a
beam Of light produces sound. Ac-
cording to Milling. a beam of sunlight
IL thrcen through lens on a glass
vessel that contains lampblack, col
ored silk or worsted. or other sub
stances. A disk. having Sits or open
ings cut in It, is made to revolve
swiftly in this beam Of light so as to
cut it up, thus making alternate
flashes of light and shadow. On put
ting the ear to the glass vessel
strange sounds are heard so long as
the fashing beam is falling on the yes
sci.
But a still more wonderful discovery
has been made. A beam of sunlight is
caused to pass through a prism, SO as
to produce what is called the solar
spectrum or rainbow The disk Is
turned and the colored light Of the
rainbow is made to break through IT,
Now. place the ear to the vessel con-
tanning the silk, wool, or other ma
terial. AS the colored lights Of the
spectrum fall upon it, sounds will be
given by different parts Of the spec
trum and there will be silence in other
parts. For instance, if the vessel con-
tains red worsted and the green light
flashes upon it, loud sounds will be
given. Only feeble sounds will be
heard II the red and blue parts OF the
rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other
oolors make no sounds at all Green
silk gives a sound best in red light.
Every kind of material gives more or
less sound in different colors, and vt
ters no sound in others. Golden Days.

The prettiest Of late summer dress
es. when mohair or poplin, pongee or
linen crash is chosen, is the shirt
waist suit 1t need not be made up to
look exactly like a summer shirt waist
suit, yet it win bear an undoubted re-
semblance to it along certain lines.
The late summer shirt waist suit re-
sembles the wash suit but little. 1t is
more neatly tailored and the skirt IS
fuller and is more elegantly finished.
One late summer tailor made shirt
waist suit is built in novelty plaid in
green and blue. The skirt Is quite
plain around the hips, but box plated
a little below them. The waist is Sc
verely plain and is finished only with
little patch pocket upon the bust.
There is a stitched green taffeta belt
and a tie to match. Small brilliant
green buttons trim the skirt
Velvet is worn great deal with
green and blue, and this gives the bril-
liant color touch so much needed.

Fall STYLES Appearing.

Every day sees more evidences OF
the hurrying on of fall styles. Summer
things are being pushed out Of the
shops at double quick time, and the
first of the fall suits are about.
Like the last two seasons, changes
in tailor suits are more subtle than
radical as yet, but everything in tailor
styles is inclining toward fitted coats.
Skirts haven't made up their minds
whether to sweep the ground, as they
did a few years ago. or to disport
themselves airily several inches from
the ground, as they've been doing this
summer. And their mighty state Of in.
decision seems to point to a probable
division Of the styles into vastly un-
equal parts-the short skirts relegated
strictly to rainy weather and morning
year; the long skirts-more graceful
affairs than we've ever known before
TO every sort Of gown Of conse
Quence.'

a GIlmnse Ahead at Hats.


1t would be pleasant to say that
hats will go back to normal shapes
yet it is fact that the newest autumn
models show very much the same ex-
aggerated outlines that marked the
summer styles. The hats are tipped
up at the back and banked with flow
ers or, if for late fall, the flowers give
place to velvet bows and plumes.
Those who have hat which VIII 90
for winter as well as for summer, are
fortunate. If it be one OF the erin
hats, or hat partly satin straw y
can be deprived of its flowers at this
date and treated to big velvet rosettes.
Later a plume can be added. This hat
can be worn all winter providing one
has a gown which it matches. In Lon
don they wear the same style OF nat
all the year around, and the straw nat
with the seal coat is no unusual sight.
It saves expense and trouble, and a
grand putting away Of hats at the end
of the season.
The hat which turns down over the
face and is turned up sharply at the
back, will be the most fashionable o.
hats this fall. It can have great
lunches of rosettes at the back and on
top of the hat, and the rosettes can
be of any color that is becoming; they
ueed not match the hat.

EIounces EverYwhere.

Flounces are coming into such high
favor that they can be used after any
mode of fashion that pleases-singly'
in group, scattered or overlapping. It
is a fashion in which there is no hit
or miss. Flounces are fashionable
and the thing is to have them. Even
in the rather heavier materials that
are promised for autumn wear, such
as drap dete, henrietta, as well as in
the soft and silky mohairs, this same
fad for founces and flouncings will
appear, and there is no doubt what
ever but that edgings for those same
flounces will be point where the best
dressmakers will display a great deal
of individuality and originality.

One player takes "a handkerchief
and, throwing it at another, cries ''Eu

counting 10 rather rapidly, and the
person to whom the handkerchief was
thrown must name some place, river,
mountain, person or thing connected
with the countries of Europe, before
number 10 is reached. It may be ar
ranged that the person answering cor

In Syria the names of children are
very odd They suggest those of our
indians, inasmuch as the child's name
Is apt to be something which occurred
at the time Of its birth-something
which interested the parents. If a
child falls sick, his name is imme-
diately changed Instead Of his pa
rents thinking that piece Of pie or
too much pudding disagreed with him,
they attribute his sickness to the fact
that his name did not agree with him.
When one understands what these
names are, one does not wonder that
the child may have fallen sick be-
cause Of them! When the children
get angry they call each other names
very much as children have a habit
Of doing the world over. What is
strange to us is that they do not heap
abuse on their enemy, but on his faith

sToRks DEALT OUT JUSTICE.
Evidently Formal Proceedings Ended
in Death of CuIprit.

In Germany, where storks abound,
they are in the habit of collecting in
one spot before migrating in autumn.
On one of these occasions an o&serv-
er, who had concealed himself so as
to watch their departure, saw that
something important was on hand.
About fifty storks had assembled, and
suddenly a ring was formed-one bird
in the center showing every sign Of
being in great terror. One of the
storks then appeared to address the
party by clapping its wings for some
minutes. Then all the storks began
to clap their wings, and with sudden
rush fell upon the culprit, and, with a
general thrusting of their long beaks,
quickly put him to death. When this
was done, they flew away to She south
in their usual manner.
