Miss Lucille Mulhall, Who Is Known in

In spite of the fact that President

Miss Mulhall is known as "Queen of

It is harder to lasso a wolf than a
cow for the former runs close to the
ground and has no horns over which to
throw a rope. The idea of riding up
to a wolf and capturing him as tho

Of wolves which roamed in the nearby

made without some danger and skill on

home in triumph with the wolf tied to
her saddle. The skin now adorns the
president s curio room at Oyster Bay
and one of Miss .Mulhall's most cher.

Roosevelt telling of it's reception.

That these skirts really demand

without saying. Even the sheerest OF

NV EXTREME or DRESSLNESS
MARKS THE SUMNER STYLES


Fhe younger generation, with their
graduation, confirmation and commence
ment dresses, have held the attention Of
the dressmaker and the designer for so
many weeks that it is rather a relief to
turn to the needs of their elders for a
brief space.
The extreme Of dressiness marks the
recent arrivals in the summer fashions.
Skirts are wider-far wider. Sleeves are
fuller and more bouffant, altho their
length had been pretty generally cur
tailed; and there is not spot or a space
upon which a touch of trimming can
well be put that does not show some at
tempt, more or less conspicuous, at
adornment. #
In the earlier season the bodices
claimed all the trimmer's attention,
an irreproachable cut and hang for their
cachet, and the palmer they were-that
is, in most materials-the better their
style. But the later arrivals exhibit a
wealth of trimming applied with an
equally lavish hand upon both bodice
and skirt alike.
While the trimming materials for both
pieces usually match, the mode and
method Of their application varies to a
delightful degree.
Velvet for Trimming.
Velvet, chiefly of the panne variety,
is held in high esteem this summer for
trimming effects; this variety not hav
ing the same suggestion OF warmth and
wintertime that seems to attach to the
usual pile fabric. There are some band
ings of this used upon skirts of sheer
| materials; and hint to the fashionwise
| is that these same landings are made
over princess haircloth instead of the
| usual crinoline or canvas, this mode as
surfing that they will not crease nor lose
| that smart fare that distinguishes a
well-cut banding when it is new.
Velvet ribbons, too, share in this
popularity to a really remarkable, de-
gree The little touch Of black velvet,
cleverly applied, will go a very long
way to establishing some cachet for a
frock that would otherwise lack this de-
lightful quality. But in the later mode
all of the colored velvet ribbons are ex-
periencing a vogue that has not been
| theirs for many day.
All Of those odd and half tones that
| take up by far the greater part of the
new color card are to be had in velvet
ribbons of pretty nearly all widths. And
graduated rows, picket fence founce
braided designs are followed in these
with richness and elaboration that is
no small part of their fascination for
their wearers and the onlooker alike.
The wide skirts, while they can hard
| ly claim a marked novelty at this writ
ing, are nevertheless adopting and
adapting new lines and new effects with
such rapidity that no sooner have we
become accustomed to one style than
another, equally if not more fascinating,
is launched.

The bee has been vindicated. 1t is

and the person who wrote that non

The average bee does not improve
each shining hour. He labors per
haps more than union hours in sum

has not gotten onto the joy OF the
eight hour day. There'll come a time
when honey gathering will be done

Drake Watson. of Kansas City, who
knows all abouot bees, says that they
rest winters. just like a bricklayer,
or lake sailor. Not only that, but
he asserts that the big bees ana the
little bees can be found drunk in the

then fall to the ground and sleep Off
