The Land of Old Ase.

From Harper's Bazaar.
The Land of Old Age is an invisible coun-
try which Is all about US. However young
you are, you have been near 1t. and
I should count you unfortunate indeed II,
in the heat of the day. you had not turned
into its shady by-patfls and fingered mo-
ment with its quiet dwellers. 1t Is very
peaceful land; there is not much work
there to be done; duty Ia rarely seen-So
seldom, In fact. that sometimes those OF
us who have gone there to live for good
feel that we have passed our time OF use
fulness and have moments of hot resent
ment that we are not out in the world
doing its work for It / feel that way my
self often. and at such times make exour-
sions outside Always the gentle hands OF
my children lead me back to my own coun-
try; and sometimes feel that the reason
we resist taking up our places there Is this
sense that we are not allowed TO come out
when we wish, that we are kept prisoners
not through our own weaknesses but be-
cause there are certain conventions as 70
what Is suitable or unsuitable tor Us old
people.

sleeves. which finished at the elbow with
pleated Val. Whether to show the simply
arranged and luxuriant hair, or merely as
matter of comfort. no hat was worn. but
with this costume was carried the daintfest
of parasols. made of figured net mounted
over white China silk and trimmed with
bread ruffies of the net and numerous mar
row pleatings, on the edge of which were
set narrow taffeta Richeiieu pleatings in a
turquoise blue shade.
Lingerie Hat a Favorite.
Such hats as are worn on these occasions
are, of the daintiest persuasion. For the
younger generation the lingerie hat seems
to be the fayorite. This is noticed In a
variety of shapes. of which the sailor is
much favored. None of the aoppy trim
mil,gs OF a year ago are to be noted on
these hats. The embroidery is mounted
smoothly over the wire frame. previously
covered with pleatings of maline or tulle
to hide the wires, and the edge of the brim
Is finished with one, two or three rows of
VAL lace, both the upper and lower
bri7ns. Ribbon is favorite trimming for
such hats. but some show punches and
wreaths of natural-looking roses and other
flowers IN white and delicate tones, set off
by touches of green foliage. One hat mod
eled on the sailor shape is made in the
manner described above. and around the
crown is folded pompadour pink and
green Powered ribbon between folds of
white ribbon satin on either side. The satin
ribbon Is made into a long row with many
loops at the left side OF the crown, ami this
is held In place by buckle OF the pOmpa-
dour ribbon. shirred on a foundation of
buckram and bent over the knot of the
bow. There is q bandeau in the back which
lifts the hat slightly forward. tipping ID to
just the most becoming angle for the youth

pink roses and green leaves.
Another model which may be more be-
coming to some than the sailor is that
whose front brim and narrower back brim
bends slightly downward In shepherdess ef-
feet. The sailor shape Is somewhat trying
to some faces, and the full frills of lace
around the edge of this second shape will
doubtless prove becoming co many. The
upper briun. though made entirely of lace,
shows straw medaliions mounted over the
lace. and the crown is q broad, fiat Tam

rosette of the lace ana loops Of white Ne
apolitan braid, through which are stuck
two white quilts. This use of quilts on lin
gerie hats is a new one. which we may ex-
pect to see in the later lingerie models.

Popular Plaid.


Popular Plaid.
The more tiny square check Is shown
in English ssiting in the ever popular black
and white which narrow black and scarlet
soutaohe braid trim effectively. A sack
coat with ny front and pleated skirt Is
the model used for this, black velvet with
outlinings of red and black braid forming
stylish collars and cuffs.
The two last dresses are of Scotch wool
In a red and green Scotch plaid, with a
novelty touch In q sprfnklf1g OF black dots

smartest note.
In fact, as can be seen. black is the so-
centuating note in all of these barred ma
teriais which. whatever their modiBh pres
tige seem somehow always charming for
children, And when a. black or white
check or plaid IS used, color, IN turn, may
be effectively employed for trimming The
trimming either elaborately or otherwise.
Black ribbon velvet In plain graduating

silks themselves, put on In stitched bias

cashmere was made most effective with
hands of plaid silk in bronze green's and

ened with bands OF black taffetas, this also
forming collar, cuffs and belt.
The plaid shirt waists shown for girls OF
suitable age are without number silk, fan

these, and plain textures frequently trim

very stylish complement to the autumn
school girls wardrobe. Charming ones

GENTLEMANLY REQUISITES
PLAIDS AND CHECKS THE CRY
BY MARY DEAN.

As II Is too early to venture upon more
than brief autumn suggestions for the
grown-up world. Fashion Is turning her
attention to children's garments. Importa-
lions In this direction show distinct and
separate influences for the two sexes. For
boys, English styles are eminently the
thing. while for maids. hats. coats and
gowns must express the Partisan touch
Even with garments made in this country
LondOn's taste stamps the boy thing, and
smart mammas will spend much time in
choosing the correct English and Scotch
textures. which are first choice everywhere
for masculine wear. These are naturally
much dearer here than on their native
heath, while domestic making Is more than
double the cost OF London tailoring. So
many mothers travelling in Europe take ad-
vantage of q stop in London to buy their
boys wardrobe, and as a consequence ev-
erything necessary for youths wear Is
shown by the middle OF July
Only with the baby does fashion depart
from the requirement of English styles. and
adorably Partisan in his belted tunic suits
the wee sir of two years or less will sport
the dressy hats and lace and embroidery

the English styles for lads are in point of

which accompany either calling for as
