WOMEN ARE NOT ACCURATE.

The secret is ont.
"a lady's tailor has discovered why
women are not as good dressmakers as
men.
It is because a woman cannot tell the
difference between the sixteenth and
the eighth Of an inch.
She examines her tape line with eyes
all unseeing the difference between one
sixteenth and two-sixteenths Of an inch
and the lost sixteenth is her undoing.
On the other hand, the man tailor
thinks more Of that sixteenth Of an
inch than he does Of the whole inches,
and SO his bodices and skirts ct better,
or, at least, he persuades the ladiestthat
they do, which amounts to the same
thing.
The same man says that women are
not good physicians nor surgeons be-
cause they won It measure out drugs
down to drains and can It adjust deli
cate machinery to the hundredth part

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES A FAD

AS babies have not gone entirely out
of fashion In Fifth avenue, despite the
;eroakings Of pessimists, it Is natural
that delighted parents should wish to
Apprise friends that such-and-such a
household has seen one Of those incl
dents known as "a happy event. -
Cards used to be the medium For letting
zone 3 little social world know the glad
news; but cards were never impressive
and there was demand for something
more striking. It has come in the
shape Of a ohristening~box." Such a
box is about five inches square, covered
with white satin. Close to the lower
right hand corner bunch Of forget
Fme-nots is embroidered and at the up

A Fourth of July Luncheon
BY cORNELIA G. BEDFORD

Now that harmless vegetable
colorihgs can be easily obtained it is
q temptation to use them quite freely.
This is especially true with green's,
shades of red and pink, yellow and
orange. These are not in bad taste
since many foods are found in these
colors; but in planning a Fourth of
July meal it is best to concentrate any
2 color scheme on the decorations since
no foods come naturally in blue. If the
hostess has an Obl0ng low pan which is
watertight it is possible to construct
a flag in flowers, using white carna-
lions, scarlet geraniums and blue agera-

KEEPING ROOMS COOL

A southern method of keeping rooms
cool is to place earthen jars, which have
been covered with several thicknesses OF

not be shining on the window. The

HARVARD IS PICKED
Greatest Game of Year Will be
Played on Saturday on
Yale Grounds.

1t has been five years since Harvard
has been pronounced favorite over
Yale for the annual game between the
two colleges. and that long since she
won big football match from the
Blue. This year the Crimson finds
herself looked upon as the probable
winner of the game though 1t is
thought the contest will be close. The
difficulty with Harvard has usually
been with the spirit of the team, but
this year the eleven has played with
rather better spirit than has Yale.
If anything is gained. therefore, by the
ability to rise to the emergency, 1t will
probably be the crimson that secures
1t.
The game at New Haven tomorrow
is not going to be an easy one by any
means. Yale's chances to play strong
er game than against Princeton are
excellent. She has just that much
more time to whip her backfield into
shape and remedy the difficulties she
has met with in consequence Of the
long indisposition of Roome. The in
jury to Morse Is also likely to have
improved. This will give Yale some
think like her true strength, which
she undoubtedly lacked for the Prince
ton game.
