The outside world knows very little

indeed go with clocklike precision to
insure that absence of confusion
which is absolutely imperative. There
are several hundred persons on the

the whole, is precise and formal, and

Woman's interest and participation
in outdoor life and gowns are becom-
ing more and more general and golf
and tennis promise to occupy the
young woman's leisure time during the
next two months quite exclusively.
And every woman who thus INDUCES
desires to play in good form, which
term applies more strictly to the cos
tune worn when playing than to the
kind of game put up. Unless she has
the golting costume and the tennis
gown, just as she has had her yacht
ing dress, and her mountain toys dur
ing the summer, she is not apt to find
much pleasure in the game. But after
all 1t is not so much the dictates of
fashion as the greater comfort and
ease gained which impels the woman
who INDUCES in these heathful sports
to dress in specially designed cos
tunes.
The golf player is bound, and most
wisely, by the convention Of simple
ity, scarcely dare she even take unto
herself the light charms of linen, the
eXigencies Of the wind pointing that
the way Of wisdom lies with serge or
tweed. 1t Is some time since the scar,
let coat was looked upon as an essen
tial complement to the skillful use
of the club or niblick, and although
there are few who hold fast by it's
becoming and significant influence,
the majority is no longer bound by it's
charms, and the herring bone serge
or the homespun tweed are the most
usually favored.
An excellent material for the golf
links is flannel, and the latest pat
terms Of these include a variety Of
black and white stripe, and of brown
and white stripe, which latter, when
allied to a brown hat and leather belt,
would have mach to commend it; in.
deed, It would be hard to beat, and
can picture it well crowned with a
panama encircled by brown gauze
scarf with very short ends, or a small
toque of brown chip trimmed with
ribbons, or the ever-popular tam-o'-
shanter, set jauntily upon a bandeau
Of brown ribbon tied into a bow at

For seven years now there has been
a growing sentiment for the raising of
the Niagara, the famous old flagship
OF Commodore Perry when he fought
with the British feet in Misery bay,
Lake Erie. This sentiment assumed
practical form during the last session
OF congress and that body appropriate
ed 100000 for the raising of the old
ship, under the direction of the secre.
tary of the navy The ship will be
placed in a permanent huilding of
brick and stone on the grounds Of the
soldiers and sailors home at Erie,
Pa, as a memorial of tie first victory
Of an American fleet over foreign
foe.
The fact that the Niagara lies at
the bottom of Misery bay was first
called to the attention of the public
by Former Representative S, A. Day
export of Erie as result OF a CON
versation in Washington in the spring
of 1899. At that time the question of
the rehabilitation of other historic
ships was being widely discussed, and
it was suggested that among other
famous ships the old Constitution
should be restored
Then some one announced that the
Niagara was still intact in the little
bay near Erie. The knowledge that
Perry's flagship was still in existence
came as a surprise to many represent
tativos, WHO manifested the greatest
interest in the project soon after pro
