CHESS THEIR DIVERSION.
Village in Germany Where Even tho
Babes Learn the Game of
Kings.

There is German village where the
children drink in love of chess with
the nutriment their good mothers give
to them. For generations the inhabi-
tants of this village have devoted much
time to chess and many fine players have
been developed there. The little town is
isolated, its people intermarry, so some
of its future Tschogorins, Laskars and
Marcos are, like poets, born, not made.
Probably the first word uttered by the
babies born there is not "ah-goo," but
CHECK" Thus is the power of heredity
proved again.
When a child comes into this check
cred world one present given to it is a
chessboard, which is carefully kept for
it until it is old enough to play the game
of kings" Ivory bishops and knights
serve the babies as teething rings. A
class is held where chess is taught, two
hours day being devoted to its study.
Every three months the scholars COM
pete and the winner is as proud as Luci-
fer until he falls, perhaps, at the next
competition.
Each year great tournament is or
ganized at which some of the chess mas
ters of the world have carried off prizes
Needless to say these villagers are pa,
tient, plodding and therefore prosper.

continues a favorite for the fancier
waists, and is used very effectively for
yokes, and for chemisette and deep
cuffs. For tailored suits the narrow belt
is preferred, but when the girdle is worn
it should be on the belt order, the point
extending downwards rather than up

Belts of shaded ribbons are very much
the thing, softly shirred, boned back and

deep bodice and strap, or straps, over
the shoulders, is seen in various ma

that number might easily make Sc
lections that would be generally pleas
ing and yet allow of individual prefer
ence. India null is happy choice, not
expensive and yet delicate and pretty.
1t launders we'll and can be worn often
after the great event is past Silk is not
liked for graduation dresses, although
silk muslin, silk eolienne, and silk voile
are approved. No jewels should be
worn save of the most modest sort;
heavy, expensive display is considered
the most execrable taste.
Flowers, of course, are an important
adjunct, and word concerning those
favored at the moment may be in point
for there certainly are fashions in
flowers as in most everything else.
Orchids for corsage wear are in high
favor, and those of pale mauve with deep
centers are very beautiful. The girl
that carries these may add other touch
es of color to her costume by hav-
ing the heels of her slippers Of metallic
inlay the shape of her orchids, but this
might look as If mademoiselle was
given to rather too careful study of the
subject of dress. Fine materials, girl
ish flufflness, are all very well, but avoid
er-elaboration.
Stockings and gloves, 1t goes without
saying, are white. If possible try to res
urrect from old trunk or chest the filmy
lace-work stockings that couple of

is pair of hose that will be admired by
all the other girls, for they don't seem to
make just that kind to-day.
A frock made for pretty blonde with
sunniest of tresses, was designed with

cut piihcess fashion at the waist line,
confined by several rows of gaging,
hung in straight folds and made frilly
with ruched flounces of net The neck,
which was cut pointed, was filled in with
point d'esprit lace and a net fichu was
gracefully fitted to the shoulders and
bust. The sleeves were very short, just
a couple of puffs. The petticoats were
very full and fluffy, the white kid slip
pers had gold heels, the flowers carried
were daffodils. A harmony in white
and gold.

Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question Of
excessive charges is matter for the

and what appeared then was no expert
ment.
One of the most marked features was
that the whole costume was harmony,
hat, gown, gloves, parasol, all the same
shade. And this is welcome change
from the bizarre contrasts of recent
times. To be sure, the one-color scheme
obtained last season, but 1t is now more
than ever in evidence.
!, Mauye is favorite shade of the pres
ent, and, when becoming, it is one TO
be selected for the dressy costume; for
a plain street suit it strikes uO as rather
the wrong shade. We confess distinct
liking for the shepherd plaids for walk
ing suits, they look SO neat and trim,
wear. OF course, there are cheap mod
els In the check suits, ill-fitting, poorly
cut; but those that are well made are
extremely chic. We noticed one the
other day that was worn by a young
matron out for a stroll with her chill
dren, two rosy, sensibly dressed young
sters. The pretty mother had on short
dress and short Elton of black and white
Panama cloth, short enough so that 1t
did not have to be held up in crossing
the street. 1t was very bouffant about
the ankles, and out from the full
ness peeped trim patent leather low
shoes with gray spats. The hat was a
black turban with a white crown and
white veil, the gloves were a summery
gray. She looked as neat, as well
gowned as could be, much better dressed
than some women near by gotten up in
billows of chiffon and lace. And this
costume would be suitible for almost
any occasion for the summer.
Our illustration pictures a tailored
shirt-waist that presents the distinctive
features of the year; the fronts tucked
the back set on yoke, the sleeves full
at the shoulders and tapering toward the
wrists. Many of the models have

make this great appearance
before the public. Maybe we can help
a bit.
White is the thing, but must confess
in the beginning 1t is not the simple
white" of the sweet girl graduate of
days gone by. This year, as somebody
remarked, the girl with the diploma
will have very little of the Puritan maid
en- look, rather resemble a ballroom
miss. Skirts will be very frilly and full
about the ankles, sleeves short, the
blouse quite bouffant.
Even the thin girl must bend to the
dictum of short sleeves; she can have
frill to cover the shapeless elbow, but
the sleeve that is long nowadays looks
very prim and old-fashioned indeed.
One Of the prettiest models of gradua
tion frock on display has sleeves that
come quite ways above the elbow,
scarcely more than puffs. 1t is made of
a very fine Persian lawn, the skirt a
quaint old-fashioned affair, quite full
at the hips, the waist surplice style with
chemisette of the finest swiss embroid-
cry. This style of waist will obtain for
the girl graduate, the chemisette not SO
elaborate as exquisitely fine.
The high chemisette neck is all right
with elbow sleeves, so Dame Fashion
declares-and many there be that fol-
low after her. One surplice frock of silk
muslin had chemisette of Japanese
embroidery on silk gauze; it was very
handsome, but something less costly
could have been equally effective.
Materials used should be generally
agreed upon by the class-if that be
possible; for the audience is going 10
judge the whole effect, and If one wear
thick dress, the next one gauzy af-
fair, if one wear black shoes and the
next one white, there is sure to be n
diminution of beauty, lack of har'
mony.

dress materials offered, it would seen
