THE OUTING COSTUME.
4 Sensible New. Tennis Drezs Evolved
mo Strictly Golfug Frocks
to Be Seen.

For tennis heavy white skirts, well
cut and quite short, are the rule, with
short sleeves and low-turned collars
ruling favorites for the year. The
tennis suit proper is new idea just
being developed, and is now being
fashioned in one piece with loose but
well-shaped waist lines, short, full
sleeves, and with skirt gored SO that
the extra fullness of the hem 10 well
controlled above the knees.
Heavy linen crash seems to be a
well-liked fabric for these suits, with
trimmings of small, scarlet buttons,
and with accessories accompanying,
consisting of crash-cclored scarlet
clicked hosiery, tennis shoes that
match, and hat with soft, rolling
brim, made of stitched crash or of
panama, and trimmed with a scarlet
band. A scarlet belt is worn occa-
sionally. Boomers of silk or soft
linen are also worn with this style
frock, eliminating the necessity of
petticoats, that are always wrapping
around ones ankles during swift
plays.
In the golf1ng world, dress. that in
cludes strictly golfing frocks is an
unknown thing Women revel in I'M
mated skirts and waists, observing
only the following points, to wit:
short and very full skirts; big sleeves,
elbow length, and made so as to al
low full, unconfined play for the arms
during the swing, and eyes shaded by
a hat that may be pulled down upon
the head and stay there, and equip
ped with very narrow brim. For
wet days good, serviceable sweat
er is the most comfortable thing in
existence. Waists of soft, colored or
black gloria silk are worn under
these sweaters, coming forth from
the knit embraces, wrinkleless and
unframed by the contact of either
sweater or rain. The sweater itself
is nicely shaped, closely-fitting and
buttoning in front, and is well
equipped with snug, fiat pockets that
will hold miladis little vanity neces-
sites, all of which, by reason of
woman's inconsistencies, go forth
with the links as well as the ball
room Z
Red jackets are no longer the rule,
and although they are seen occasion
ally upon the links, they have great
er legendary significance than practi-
cal value
Skirts are now equipped with elias
tic bands run in below the hips and
buttoned there, so as to control the
fullness of the skirt All skirts are
short, nay, above the ankles, and are
made of linens as well as wooden ma
terials, the cotton material standing
the hard service attending golf play
ing very well indeed.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-08-03

kind made straight and very simple.
For the heavier frocks a washable
braid is the approved trimming.
Much handwork is seen on girls
clothing nowadays, there being such
a revival of embroidery and the finer
kinds of needlework. Buttonholed
scallops are pretty and not hard to
do after one has got into the swing
of the thing. Nothing better than the
handmade tub hats has been intro
duced in children's millinery for a
long time, and. the mob caps are uni
versally becoming. They shade the
face well. are easily kept clean.
The round Dutch neck and elbow
sleeve is the order of the day for
misses summer. dresses. Last even
ing we noticed pretty girlish form
robed in white frock; short I'M
trimmed skirt, a full bodice with mod
estly high neck, the sleeves just to
the elbow. The girdle was of flow
cred blue ribbon in palest tones,
sleeve garters of the same; it was
charming costume for girl of sweet
sixteen on a summer evening-to be
sure on the conventional order of
sweet simplicity, but this conventional
type is not to be scorned.

dies appreciate the value of the sim
pie gold fastening pin; like many OF
us, extremely tired of the ornate and
gladly going in for simplicity. A
good, solid, gold safety pin of fair
size is the sort to choose.
The child of to-day Is picturesque
figure. Take the wee toddler in hei
straight frock and puffs for sleeves
Or her elder sister, attained to the
dignity of belt and skirted dress and
rolling collar and Topping hat. And
the still older sister, with neat bodice
and pleated skirt, square neck and
short sleeves, hat trimmed with a
pompon.
At least line or two for the neg
lected boys Let us speak of their
negligee shirts, very like fathers,
with soft tucked bosom and tie match
ing the shirt material. The favorite
materials are pongee, madras and
wash silk. On very hot days the
smaller boys may wear their sailor
waists with dickey discarded, and
thrust bare feet into cool sandals that
are simply soles strapped on. There
are wash hats for small lads too,
and these are nice and cool; and caps
of all sorts

Fashions of Midsummer

lin was made in picturesque style with
fichu crossed at the bosom. The
high girdle was of pale blue liberty
satin, the picture hat was adorned
with white feathers. A more costly
gown was of blush-rose India muslin
made up over softest white silk. This
also had fichu draping the shoulders,
the fichu and hem of the dress bor-
dered with fine thread lace. The pic
ture hat was wreathed in plumes of
a rose shade somewhat deeper than
the gown. Still another frock calls
for description, cobwebby muslin in
delicate peach color, with insertions
and flounces of creamy old lace. Soft
peach colored ribbons shone on
sleeves and bodice, there was high
girdle of peach colored suede with
dull silver art nouveat buttons adorn-
ing the same. The hat was of smoke
gray, with plume of the same color.
From the above it will be seen
there is a liking for lovely soft COM
binations, but we must mention that
there is also a liking for the use in
millinery of big, brilliantly-colored
cherries. This form of trimming is
rather heavy and cumbersome, but
gives striking effect. The picture
scarf is affected by tall picture"
women, and little shoulder capes are
surely advancing in favor. Some
women have taken to shawls, but
these are very courageous.

CAN WALK UNDER WATER.
Geneseo, N. Y, Man Gives Two Start
ing Exhibitions with Inven-
ton of His Own.

Rochester, n. "a submarine con-
trivance which permits person to
walk under water has been invented
by R. p Lawton, of Geneseo. Already
he has given two demonstrations OF
it's power. Once he remained under
water for an hour, the other time for
As minutes.
Lawton's experiments were made
at Silver lake. Clad in bathing suit,
he walked out toward the center of
the lake, holding aloft a fish pole, to
the top of which was attached a flag.
He had remarked to some boys on
shore that he was going for a walk
in the lake. When the flag was about
40 feet from the shore it suddenly dis
appeared below the water. The boys
waited for Lawton to reappear, and
when he did not do so they gave the
alarm.
Lawton reappeared soon after
wards, and explained his ability to
walk under water The crowd was
skeptical, SO Lawton climbed into his
bathing suit again and gave another
exhibition. He stayed under water
this time for As minutes.
He will allow no one to see his con-
trivance. He says it is of the SIM
plest kind, and weighs little more
than a pound.

encircled with scarf of pale blue
crepe de chine, fringed with black and
white, and has bunch of glowing red
cherries to the front. The whole is
cool aud crisp and colorful.
Cambria is favorite material, and
as 1t launders so well has much to
recommend IL. The pink cambrics are
very pretty-as seem all the pinks
this year-and the hats of midsum-
mer are most attractive with them.
And while speaking Of the charm Of
the summer frocks, let us not forget
that petticoats, which, too, come in
for display, are not to be neglected.
One is very tired of cheap trimmings,
therefore with the more zest calls
attention to petticoat of dotted mus
lin made up with tucked ruff1e and
NO lace; the ruffle attached by a wide
beading through which is run a col
ored ribbon tying In bow and long
lfops.

Styles for The Juveniles

A younger girl. perhaps 13 yeats
old, wore on embroidered pink cam
brio. Her light yellow tresses done
up on top of her head. 1t being such
warm evening, she presented q
quaint grown-up appearance. Her
bodice was cut v shape hack and

showing prettily against fair neck
and at dimpled elbow. She wore no
ornaments" whatever, not even the
beads dear to the average girls neart,
and looked as fresh and simple as a
peach.

child's dress, the easily soiled por-

our youthful friends and may be worn
with bow or tie. Some young Ia

stories that have been told, it Is sad
to reflect that those of clergymen
surpass in wildness of elaboration
even the yarns invented with intent
to deceive" At least, so says Mr..
Frank Bullen-and he ought to know!
One or two of the more serious ac-
counts are worth repeating. No long
er ago than 1891, one Peter Nelson, a
quartermaster, and therefore IAN
honorable man. saw from the deck of
the Rotomahana beast with the head
of an eel and fins ten feet long rise 80
feet out of the water. 1t was dark
above, and white below. He gave a
long account of this strange beast,
yet, so far, those whom he intended
to convert only reply that it was very
like a whale'-in short, that he saw
nothing more than whale breach
ing"
Capt. McQuhae, of H. M. S. Daedalus,
and his officers, in 1848 created
great sensation in England by a sea-
SERPENT story which at the time was
discredited by the late Prof. Sir Rich
ard Owen. But time brings its re-
venges, for it may turn out that the
professor was wrong. Briefly, he re-
ported having seen an enormous SER
pent with head and shoulders some
four feet out of the water, and some
so feet of it's body on the surface. 1t
passed rapidly so close to the ship
that a mans features at the same dis
lance could easily have been distin-
guished. 1t had no fms, but something
like seaweed washed about it's back.
Now within the last few weeks the
honor of the captain and his officers,
or rather, their credit as observers,
has been singularly indicated, for at
the last meeting of the London Zoo
logical society Mr.. e. B. Meade Waldo
and Mr.. M. J. Nicoll described a crea-
ture seen by them from the deck OF
the earl of Crawford's yacht, the Val
halla, which bears remarkable re-
semblance to that seen from the
Daedalus These two gentlemen, &C
companied Lord Crawford as natural
lists during his usual winter cruise.
Both are well-known naturalists, and
one is a member of the council of the
Geological society. The story they
unfolded to a breathlessly excited as
sembly of the Fellows is briefly this:
When off Para on December z, 1905,
at ten a. M, they were standing on the
deck OF Ahe yacht, when their atten-
ton was caught by curious sail-like
object of some four feet long and two
feet high waving from side to side in
the water. No sooner had they turned
their glasses on to this strange object

SOME SALAD DRESSINGS.
A Number Of Recipes That Should
Please People That Dislike the
Use of Olive Oil.

AS l have found some do not like
olive oil. which hardly understand,
l give recipes for other dressings that
may be substituted: Stir together a
dessert spoonful dry mustard, half a
teaspoonful salt and the same of cell
cry salt, half as much white pepper,
and a tablespoonful of butter; add
the yolks of two eggs and beat well;
pour over this a cupful of rich, hot
milk, and set over boiling water to
thicken, stirring all the time; lift at
once and cool, then add two table
spoonfuls of vinegar and set on ice
to chill. This is nice with any cab
bage salad, says Mrs. McLogan, in
the st. Louis Globe.
Another cooked dressing ia made
of the yolk of an egg, beaten, two tea
spoonfa,s melted butter, a pinch of
cayenne, one of salt and one of dry
mustard; stir the butter and condi-
ments together, add the egg, beat
hard and add a cup of cream, the
beaten white and lemon juice to
taste; cook until thick in farina boil
er, stirring constantly.
A dressing of cream is liked with
lettuce; it should be cold and sweet;
add a level teaspoonful of salt to
half cup in small bowl, stir well,
adding gradually two tablespoonfu!s
best vinegar. The sweet dressing for
fruit salads is made by beating the
yolks of two eggs light, adding half
a cup of powdered sugar and a pinch
of salt. When the sugar lis well dis
solved add the juice Of a lemon;
serve very cold.

than there appeared huge eel-like
neck, some six feet long, and as thick
as a mans thigh, and this neck was
surmounted by great turtle-iike head
with large eyes, now borne high above
the sea, which was quite calm. 1t was
dark colored above and silvery white
below. After few moments the head
and neck were slowly lowered, and
when level with the water were vio-
lently dashed from side to side, churn-
ing up the sea into a great sheet Of
foam. and then it vanished
Adverse winds caused the ship to beat
about so that at midnight they were
only 20 miles from the: scene of the
morning. This is noteworthy, because
when Mr.. .Nicoll came on deck after
breakfast one of the officers came up
and reported that during the night he
saw strange commotion in the water.
At first he thought it was a rock
''awash," but most careful examina-
ton showed that it was beast Of
some kind, travelling faster than the
ship, which was then making only
about eight-and-a-half knots. The Of
ficer hailed the deck" and the look
out man, and thus got witnesses to
this weird phenomenon. Though the
sea was calm, and there was bright
moon, nothing satisfactory could be
made out owing to the wash" which
the creature was making; but in its
movements it resembled submarine
| travelling just below the surface.
Seriously, we can no longer regard
the "sea-serpent" as myth. There
can be no question but that the ocean
harbors some secret which we have
not yet penetrated. 1t seems unlikely
that this evasive creature should be a
descendant of the old Plesiosaurs

1he smart coat OF the season Is the
red serge coat, trimmed with either
brass or pearl buttons and with col
lar and cuffs of hunters green. It
makes decidedly cheerful spot in
the summer landscape.
Daintiness is ever attractive in the
small girls get-up, and the separate
wash collar for the cheerful coat is
pretty touch; it may be of lace, or,
better, of embroidered linen. Some
prefer the heavy linen with button
holed scallops; some mothers delight
to hnger over fine hand embroidery
with insets of lace and lace frills.
Linen and cambria frocks made in
simple style should be included in
miss's wardrobe, for these frocks are
both modish and practical. Even

man of Wexford Harbor, the wander
ing soul of the Dutch skipper who lost
his smack on his way to Dublin some
three centuries ago.
Ghostly apparitions are not, howev-
er, the only ones to be feared at sea.
In the case of ST.. Elma'S fire these ap-
partitions take the shape of spectral
lights suddenly cleaning from yard

ancient navigators as Castor and Pol

a signal danger If seen single.
Jack has score Of well known SUI
perstitions, many of which are of very
long descent, such as the presence Of
figureheads, the blessing of ships and
the crossing of the line" And it will
be remembered that the Prince and
Princess of Wales both paid tribute to
old Neptune while on their journey to
Australia.
