The Boomerang.


The boomerang is an instrument used
both In war and in the chase by the
aborigines Of Australia. 1t Is usually
about two feet In length. made Of hard
wood bent into curve resembling an
obtuse angle, nat on one side and
rounded on the other. The method OF
using this curious weapon is very Pc
culiar. The thrower takes 1t In one
hand, holding the bent side downward.
and hurls 1t forward as IL to hit some
object twenty or twenty-five yards In
advance. Instead Of continuing to 60
directly forward in accordance with
the Newtonian law 1t slowly ascends
in the air, whirling round and round.

Won in a Walk.

Yesterday afternoon the second
high school team walked all over the
Catholic academy team in a game of
football at Athletic park and defeated
that aggregation with a score of 81
to 0, in one of the fastest minor
games of the season
The high school team, while lighter
than the Academy boys, worked
fine and showed the results of coach
ing at the hands of the first team,
and their interference and good line
and plunging work was the best min
or team work ever witnessed in the
city. George Thomson made two
long runs for touchdown and Sam
Max also made long run for a score
of five. Case carried the ball over
the academy line heavy line buck.
But one goal was kicked by the win
ners.
Eugene Weeks refereed the game
and Kenneth Elder acted as umpire
while Hawthorne, Gray, who received
the injuries in the game with Cheney
acted as timekeeper. The second
team is arranging for several other
games, but it is doubtful If the first
team will play again this season ow-
ing to their inability to secure games
with outside teams.

Some of these feather decorations are smart

Smart Walking Suits.

Walking suits with pleated skirts ard
short jackets will be smart for fall wear
and incidentally serviceable If made of
medium weight cloth. such as most of the
checks and stripes are now manufactured
in. The skirts-that is, the more dressy
ones-just clear the ground and really
plain, despite the pleats and rows of but
tons placed on the edges of them half way
between the waist and the bottom hem. The
buttons are either covered with material
to match the dress or are of metal, and, be-
cause so many are used, small kinds are
selected.
A plain, tight-ftting short jacket, that is
especially becoming to a woman small in
stature, is without trimming, even pleats in
in the back. In front the coat is finished
with vest-like effect Of white serge or
fine, lightweight wool. and on either side
Of the fastenings the two rows of buttons
corresponding to those on the skirt, are
placed near the top and also below the bust
line. The jacket Is cut low at the neck.
Large sleeves, fuled into the shoulders,
are plain, with the exception of the lace
gathered at the wrists.

To Walk Well.

Don't drag your feet fling them, nor
lag nor stride. Learn to glide into a room
gracefully.
1t is impossible for a woman to be awk-
ward in her walk If she walks straight
and keeps her knees stiff. The act of swing
ing the feet out gives one graceful gait
Walk slowly. Skirts wind around your
calves when you walk rapidly. and all SEM
bIance of grace is lost. Walk in leisurely
manner, as II you were a princess. not a
hurried. worried, overworked woman.
Don't swing your shoulders.
Don't swing your arms.
Don't twist yourself in sinuous motions.
Don't comfort. Don't wrisgle.
Hold your chin in. This is the most inn
portant thing of all
Don't walk. nor look. nor act like an old
person. There are no Old persons in these
days.
Touch the ground first with the balls of
your feet. with the heels striking instant
later.
Learn also how to be seated. Don't sit
with your clothes wound around you.
Don't sit on the ragged edge of things
Be seated Squarely, says Home Chat.
When you walk consider the style of your
dress.
If you are dragging a train don't forget
it The longer and heavier the gown the
slower you must walk.
And first. last, and at all times, be dig
nitied.
An ungraceful walk will spoil the most
elegant gown that the dressmaker's art can
design.

only trimming employed for these Panama
hats is either a long scarf disposed round
the crown and hanging down behind or
big bows of tartan ribbon. These Pan
ANA hats have free-and-easy, slightly b.

void of certain chic. The Charlotte

FASHION commits an objectionable offense
against good taste. These embroidered
linen or cambria hats. trimmed with a
ounch or wild flowers. are meant for the
young and when one sees them on ma
tronly heads they look really ridiculous.
Although the reign of small hats cannot
be said to be over. there Is decided
tendency to return to the larger hat Per-
haps one reason may be that in summer
it affords a better shelter to the face.
Moreover. seeing the tendency to wear the
hair very fluffy and to increase the size of
the head by artificial means, such as
''rouleaux'' clusters OF short curls, etc, a
very small hat does not sit well, as the
French say. upon the mass of bullying hair,

Several women Of fashion have ordered
new furs from abroad One long eton coat
is to be a copy of the following model: 1t

placed side by side and the body being
striped. The coat hangs, of course, in the
abbreviated sacque shape. The sleeves are
similarly made, are large and full at the
top; the fullness ends at little below the
elbow, where they are completed by deep
cuffs of Parma violet velours. decorated
with narrow strips of mink and having set
on in applique fashion short cuffs of ex-
quisite Irish crochet.

at the neck, forming a little square vest at
the top, and turned back over this is

be said that the theater hat is not one
