Really Beautiful
In the realm of more elaborate lounging
robes, the seasons display is inexpressibly
lovely. Never were there so many grace
full, shapely gowns made up to tempt fem
mime buyers. The most irresistible of these
are built of crepe de chine, either plain or
printed in gorgeous design. An imported
model of ivory crepe de chine hangs loose
" from the shoulders in accordion pleat-
ings.. A bolero jacket of coffee-colored ma
line lace gives the empire effect. Inser-

and conceal the tuncture of plain, shaped
founce with the accordion pleated gown.
Puffed sleeves of the crepe de chine caught
up above the elbow are finished with lace
trimmed ruffles lined with accordion-p leated
chiffon. Shirrings of chiffon soften the V

long ends.

Never were styles more kindly to elderly
wearers than now The cIinging soltness
OF the new materials, the gilt and silver
spIendors, colors and cuts, all point the way
TO becoming and dignined framing For
there lies the gist of the elderly woman's

things; and this meaning suitability to

Should enshrlne her personality as if upon
an altar. Her gown, her bonnet, her man
tie, all should express a rich yet delicate
splendor which is like a crown. The very
fall of her train should be a command"
The soft and satiny cloths now the mode
are the royal right of those no longer in the
heyday of youth. a handsome dress of
cloth. or silk or velvet, is indispensable for
the woman of middle age. and the present
styles suggest many long, graceful coats
which conceal ungraceful lines.

Black Always Leads.
In point of color, black is pre-eminently
the elderly woman's choice. But there are
many delicate fair types for whom black is
too severe, and for these soft grays and the
many beautiful shades of purple now in
fashion are advised.

Don Went 400 Miles Alone,

The remarkable attachment for its
home place. is shown in the case Of
Carlo, a fine water spaniel belonging
to James Dingman. who several week
ago left Stoud, o. T., for Idaho. Carlo
was tied in one of the cars with the
stock.
He stood the trip for 300 miles, but
the desire to get back to the old home
place evidently grew upon him. Mr..
Dingman thought 1t was safe to unite
the dog, but no sooner had the ami

many and his wife bet him a pair of
ear muffs against barrel of apples
that she could kill more rabbits at
one shot than he could carry on his
back at one load. Mrs. Boyd sprink-
led bushel Of oats in a path. The
rabbits gathered by scores until there
was long row of them eating oats

TRIPLE PLAYS ARE RARE.
But TWO Men Have Pulled Them on
Unassisted.


A triple play is one Of tho rare
things in baseball, because it requires
a combination of circumstances when
seldom occur. There must be at least
two men on the bases, and no one out
Then the next batter must hit the ball
in a certain way, or the chance for
triple is lost. In addition to this, the
fielding must be perfect and last. but
two triple plays, made by one man I'M
assisted. have ever been recorded.
One was the famous play OF faui
Hines way back in the early SOS'
The other is fresh in the mind, al
though it was made in minor
league.
In 1901 Harry O'Hagan was playing
first base for Columbus, in the west
ern association. Tin canned, he went
East to Newark, and the day after ne
donned a New Jersey uniform ne
pulled off the play that made him
famous. With men on first and second
and, of course, nobody out. OHasah
was playing close to the bag, "heh
the next batter hit liner directly into
his hands The force of the ball was
enough to knock him back so that MS
foot touched the first sack, retiring
the runner, who was off the base.
O'Hagan, turning to throw to second,
saw that the runner there had started
at the crack of the bat and was nearly
to third. So, instead of throwing the
ball, he sprinted to second base with
it in his hand, arriving in time TO pu'
the third man out on the play.
Last season the Kansas City CLUB
of the American association made TWO
triple plays in one game at Toledo.
