Whispers.

AS rule the girls, particularly inc
pretty ones and those who find favor
the "white feathcr,' but there seems
to be difference Of opinion as to the
occasions for the feather: At the af-
fairs of the afternoon, for lawn par
ties, teas and the theater, there is
nothing 80 effective or becoming as this
dainty plume, whether 1T be a long
plume effect or just bunch OF tips,
to show the white feather is hardly
good taste or according to Dame Fash
ion. One place, for instance, IS the
lake. A stranger visiting the city dur
ing the week made the journey to the
inland sea twice during the week and
speaking of the various attractions he
said: "I see 80 many pretty girls IN
come in for its share, but why do the
women wear those elaborate white hats
trimmed in q manner At for the grand
opera season In New York or PARISH
These hats are many of them very eX-
pensive, and, torn by the winds at tho
resort, are often after a journey home
in dusty open car, sad looking objects.
| The season has shown so many pretty
| hats, far more suitable for summer
| resort than these that it IS surprising
| they are not chosen by those who be:
| long to the "Lake Feather Army
There are the dainty lingerie styles,
with a quill or bow Of some pale Dres-
| den ribbon or wing, These hats so
trimmed are particularly fetching and
| very summer-like. Then there are the
| jaunty, tailor straw chapeaux, plainly
trimmed, the quintessence of good style,
not to forget how attractive the simple
little hat can be made with the auto
mobile veil draped about it and tluf-
fly bow under the chin. The lake is
no place for the picture hat, whether 1t
be black, white or pink, and it has no
more place there than the transparent
organdie gown trimmed with bolts of
1t proves the rule. You can never tell
what n woman will do, for in many
cases these Of the white feather will
be at the opera or play the first night,
OF any night, in fact, with a white lin
en- shirt waist and black string tie.
Last winter the opera season was GER
tainly limited, and while there were no
Carusos or Sembrichs in the cast, 1T
was the best the management could pro-
vide, and the music loving people great
ly appreciated it. Then, indeed, was
tho time for dress, but how many were
| gowned for the occasion3 Not one
third of tho audience that filed the
theater were gowned for the occasion.
The coming of the circus brought forth
the best hats, too. There were dozens
of these white French plaques and
straws with, yes, even plumes waving
from their crowns, on the top row OF
boards 1t is well known $50 we are
told) that a woman IS crowning glory
is her hair, but when some do not
possess silksn tress glory, they make
all haste to the otsrich farm.

| little matron who has since learned
what q dry Martini really is. With a
friend she had braved the heat Of a
July day to mako half dozen calls,
and when they arrived ut the home OF
friend on the afternoon list, were,
to say the least both merely trlfle
warm and thirsty. The hostess rang
for pitcher of lemonade, but this
! little caller did not care for the green
white fluid. Noticing her guest did not
drink any, the hostess offered TO make
her Martini dry. Now, the visitor
had heard George speak about such
| things, but then her hostess in all prob
| ability meant some summer ice or cup,
so she decided to slake her thirst with
the sparkling beverage. Realizing thot
it did not taste like sherbet or ice
lite to her hostess, she finished the
flnid The various sensations she ex-
perienced within half an hour were
many and varied, and as she remarked
later, "I could have taken my worst
enemy by the hand and shared my lot
with him.
It would be well for more than the
one young matron to make the decided
stand she has taken about poker for
money. 'Fun of COURSE" but as she
SAYS, It costs too much, and will not
permit the game within her doors for
money.
