another of the fads that have sprung up
rather late; but 1t is none the less vel
come and becoming for all that.
Short Sleeves and Open Throat
Prevail.
With each new sport that Is introduced,
there come new costumes and modifca-
lions Of established styles to meet Its
many requirements. For example, the
golf links and the tennis courts invite
one to the short sleeved blouse Of loose
cut and easy fit, so that there Is no tight
ness of garment to mar the freedom of
movement at any part or point OF the
game. Some Of the extremists make the
sleeve mere frill below the shoulder,
emitting even the semblance of cum
for fastening. Others, more conservative,
bring the sleeve and Its regulation shirt
cuff to below the elbow, but leave the
wrist bare for full and free play. The
wearing Of a chemisette Is quite an open
question. Many there have been In the
various tournaments that have held place,
both on this and the other side Of the
Atlantic this summer. who wear the
chemisette right up to the moment of play,
then roll up the sleeves and discard the
throat covering, much to their ease and
comfort in play. The double breasted
type of shirt that was introduced for
equestrian use in the late spring time
Is muchly favored for all sports this sum-
mer. and there Is not the slightest doubt
but that the cold weather will see this
style developed In silk, flannel, velveteen.
and even In corduroy-which latter, incl
dentally, is promised a continuance of Its
former vogue.
Modish sportswoman.
The opening of the hunting, or the
open, season az some sportsmen prefer
to term 1t, bring bis sister very much
to the front. Nowadays, the girls Of the
family are quite as keen after game OF
all sorts as are their masculine relatives;
and smart to an extreme are the gar
ments that they display on those auspic-
ious occasions
England rather than France furnishes
the designs for those gowns; and service
ability is their first prerequisite. Leather
coats are among the smartest things Of
fered, and since they are wind and water
proof, light In weight and thoroughly
ton In the sportswomans wardrobe Most
usually they are chosen in the soft and
dull shades of brown that Will accord
we'll with the foliage of the woods In
September; and when on deer hunt
render their wearer SO much the less
conspicuous against a woody background.
The coat is of the loose semi-htting order,
with a high collar that can be strapped
close around the throat or turned over at
will; a double-breasted fastening ana an
abundance of pockets adding 10 "s
charms.

Wedding Gifts of Corals and Canoes.

"Corals and canoes are what we are
selling our elderly patrons for wedding
gifts nowadays" remarked well-known
Fifth avenue jeweler. DOUBTLESS. 1t is
because they are in high vogue once

there is usually a little vein Of sentiment

the danes are just about an age to recall
that those two things were In extreme
fashion at the time Of their own mar
riage-their first marriages, l often have
to remind myself when waiting on them
and they like to give to their young rela-
tiyes who are just entering upon bliss In
double harness things that recall their
own entrance into thar land Of joy.

or corsage buttons, the same cabochons
as make the necklace, set In silver gilt
fligree, makes an unusual addition; and
there is an extremely pretty tiara in
which those same cabochons make the
base; gold filigree studded with several
sizes of coral surmounts this, and the top
is Of pear-shaped fine cabochons that
point upward. The material for this set
took some two years to get together: and
1t was not until l had prospective Gus
toner in view that l mounted 1t up
after this style. The tiara l pride myself
particularly upon, 1t being something
altogether unique, equally suitable to
blonde. brunette or chataigne cheyelure;
and far prettier, l think, for a young
girl than diamonds or even pearls could
be.

F fashions in Fall Footwear.

The trying effect of light-colored foot

The --latest summer girl.

The extremely short skirt that had
things pretty well all Its own way last
season is conspicuous In the later order
of things chiefly by It's absence. Only
on the tennis ground-where a backward
reach after the ball may end In a fall
because OF too long skirt-does the
old-time short skirt prevail, and here
only because of force of circumstances.
Its successor comes well to the instep,
and Is supposed to cover 1t when the
newer mandates of fashion are regarded.
The box-pleated skirt Is a welcome vari-
ant upon the ubiquitous sunburst pat
tern, and in the plaids that are surely
creating a wide vogue for themselves
they are particularly attractive. The
one illustrated is in soft melange of
browns with a pale blue and gold stripe,
respectively, defining a large block, and
everything the softer browns that make
the plaids. Such a design is referred to
In the trade as an overplaid. The cut
is of circular persuasion, the box pleats
lying small and close together at the
waist line, spreading out in fan shape
toward the foot, where plain hem
makes the finish. The smart sailor hat
displays the telescoped crown done In
alternate rows Of white and brown
Milan, the brim altogether of the white
one of the bleached milk WITHSTAND
the color scheme accumulated In the trim
ming of brown velvet ribbon that en-
circles the crown.
Comfort Rules IN Outing Costumes.
The summer girl of this year of grace
has elected that a sensible plainness and
utility shall mark the costumes destined
for mountain and seashore wear; and
great Is the comfort gained thereby. The
colored blouse or shirtwaist - the best
makers are shortening the name to Shirt"
quite as though 1t belonged to the realm
of mans rather than womans attire-is
very much to the fore In younger circles
this summer; and for the cool morning
that one encounters in mountain regions
and resorts, the striped, plain or plaid
flannel shirt Is quite the thing. An emil
nently practical model Is that Of the pic
ture, In which a nonshrinkable flannel
In pink and rose stripes on a paler pink
ground Is used. There Is a yoke across
the shoulders in the back, the fronts plain,
but for a couple of small and unobtrusive
pleats either side of the throat fasten-
Ing and the necessary fulness across the
chest arranged for In the broad cut under
the arm. The sleeves are comfortably
full at the top and pleated into a self
cuff that Is caught together with link
buttons and worn turned up. A detach-
able flannel collar and patch pocket
one of the insignia of this years make
complete the design; and rather large
pearl buttons are used for all fastenings.

pompadour this time. Two or three
square or oblong eyelets, usually silver
trimmed, serve to hold it together over
the instep. and the ribbon lacing is tied
ut the bottom instead of at the top, the
lacing, of course, being formed in re-
verse OF the usual way. There is an up
standing tongue to this style that Is
welcome boon to the girl whose instep Is
not particularly well arched on top; and
a conspicuously short vamp goes with
this style, all of which is fatterlng to
the average foot.
Toes are much more pointed and heels
higher In the new dress shoes than they
were In the spring and summer models
and In place of the ubiquitous and over
done pump the oxford last is the one In
made over.

tains just now without at least one
sweater-how this scribe does devoutly
wish that some more fragrant name for
those Indispensable garments would or
could be invented, a trial of the English
name of Jersey, even-in her trunk will
keenly regret the oversight ere many days
have passed. There are so many chinks
In the days or the weeks outing that
only the sweater can fill and 1ll COM
fortably.
Like so many other garments In all de-
partments of dress, 1t Is the handmade
sweater that sets the pace for all the
rest. The old-time art Of knitting has
been revived and just at this present
writing 1t bids fair to become perfect
furore. For one thing, the handmade
sweater goes through the processes of
the laundry and comes out In far better
shape than does its confrere of the ma
chine factory. In fact, the art of washing
the sweater Is one that Is usually per-
formed best by the amateur, for 1t re-
quires an amount of time and care and
skill that the average laundress finds 1t
either impossible or impracticable to be
stow upon this work. Soap as soap, must
not touch the garment, 1t must be in the
form of pure suds Then all Of the rims
Ing waters-and they must be many II
success is to be achieved-must be of ex-
actly the same temperature. The article
must not be wrung or twisted, for this
spoils the shape; rather must the water
be squeezed out as from n sponge, and
the garment dried In the shade. All of
which, as already remarked, takes time,
and quite considerable of 1t.
The white sweater Is conspicuous by
reason of Its numbers, and the foregoing
remarks anent cleansing will apply In
full force. There Is a new shade in wool
known yarlously as chlncLilla and par
fridge, pretty mixed gray which Is
bound to be serviceable, and Is altogether
lacking In the air of hard utility which
belongs to the usual run of gray worsteds.
Contrasting Jokes, collars cuffs and
belts appear In relief on some of them,
and leather trimmings are by no means
unknown. Pockets, too, OF the patch va
riety attach themselves to the coat
sweater, and one sees both the high col
lar and the collarless variety. the one

the states are temptations to make auto

some respects the reception to Cen

tour round the world eclipses it, be-
cause it was a series of ovations
throughout the country, with inter-

the most fervid political campaigns
in the nations history.
But Mr. Bryan's was hearty,
sympathetic welcome, reaching at
times the pitch of widest enthusiasm

atmosphere Of the great auditorium
arose to its feet and wildly cheered.
Democrats had come from far and
near in special trains to pay him

Mckinley and Palmer. All We're now
united in the opinion that Bryan was

TRAINS GIRLS FOR LIVES
Cleveland Starts a New Depart
ment in High Schools.
Scientific Cooking and the Care Of
Babies Taught--Instructors Will
BE Women Of Experience.

Cleveland. Crio. Girl pupils in
the Cleveland high schools are to be
taught scientifically how to become
good wives. Superintendent EIson
and his assistant, Hicks, outlined
their plans for technical branch of
the high school which would be de-
voted exclusively to the teaching of
girls in the arts Of housewifery,
whether they int I'D to take up that
profession later in life The instruc-
tors will be women who have sue
ceeded as wives, and will be much
more practical than theoretical. The
girls will be taught to sweep, to sew,
how best o purchase household sup
plies and how to care for babe );
They will have real babies to dress
and care for under the watchful SUI
pervision, of course. of the teachers
who have gone through all these ex-
periences.
Superintendent Elson said:
This is not fad or an expert
ment. We are going at this earnestly
and scientifically. The average girl
who marries to-day is woefully ignor-
ant of the duties expected OF her, and
therein lies a lot of domestic misery,
and to this fact can be traced the
wedge which has broken up many
homes which should have been per-
manent and happy. We are going
to fit our girls to be wives, not serv-
ants. The first year they will take
up the arts-applied arts and ele-
mentary sewing. The second year
elementary chemistry in its relation
to household duties and more adj
vanced course in sewing and the arts
that ability to make home beauti-
full and attractive.
1.-THE third and fourth years will
be devoted to scientific cooking. With
good cooking our divorce courts
lose much business. We shall teach
the girls how to care for the invalid,
and especially how to care for babies;
how to deal with the butcher and gro
Ger and everything wife should
know. Even if our girls marry rich
men and have servants to do their
work this training will put them in
position to know whether their serv-
ants are doing the work properly.
One important feature OF the training
will be the teaching of the girls to
make their own clothing and millin-
cry"
