Skill in Wearing a Veil.

Miss Edith Colford, who is a IA
nous horsewoman, is also well
known among the women of New
port for her skill in arranging her
veils, and also the envy of many who
cannot achieve the effects which she
gets. She always wears long chif-
Ton veil over her simple face veil,
and the color varies to match or con-
trast with her costume, but they al
ways float out behind her in grace
ful fashion, no matter which way the
wind seems to be blowing. This is a
mystery to the women whose wells
float in front when they are supposed
to be gracefully streaming behind.
Miss Colford has caused comment by
driving some days sitting on the
right seat of her runabout and other
days on the left, thereby showing
that she can change at any time with
out affecting her fine style of driving.

American Dress.

Writing on the interchange Of
ideas and ideals between America
and Japan, in the Housekeeper,
Marian Bonsall illustrates her point
by an amusing and instructive anec-
dote.
A Japanese girl and an American
girl We're having an amusing time at
japanese home in Toxic one even
ing, dressing in one another's clothes,
the japanese girl arraying herself
in an American evening gown and
the American girl in a ceremonial XII
mona. The first instinct of the ia
panese girl was to pull up the low
neck of the gown and pull down the
sleeves; and the American girls i'm
pulse was to pull the kimona smooth
ly around the waist and hips, Just
exactly where it should have been
folded ever. Then they started to
assist each other, each one protest.
ing firmly against certain principles
the other demanded as essential to
correct dressing. But even when fin
ished there was something radically
wrong with the ensemble; and the
girls, after hypocritically insisting
that the ether looked beautiful, sat
on the mating and laughed.

Take-San.
Il feel funny" said the American
girl.
II think you are very tight where
we are loose. said O-Take-San again.
"The idea OF making your waist
the broadest part of you," laughed
the American girl.
Il feel" said O-Take-San, solemn
ly, "as though my kimona were fall
ing off" as she indicated the cut of
her waist and the fulness of her
skirt. do you always feel cold
when yoa wear such dress?" she
queried, as she ran away to the
mirror again, giggling in a very
feminine way.
When she came back to be helped
out of the imprisoning hooks and
eyes, she gave her ultimatum on the
subject of American clothes.

that the American dress is good to
have no heavy obi; but I think it
not good to be cold and to be tight.

time for games? Who can leave his
business to spend an hour at sport
every day of his life? We have seen
this tested, in a small way, very sue
cessfully, by communal bowling al

bankers did find it possible to get
away from work and enjoy them
selves in very simple, free and easy
way. They threw off their burdens,
laughed and shouted and recreated.
Golf has proved a useful game for
many, and croquet and tennis have
done a great deal of direct good.

want is public recognition of the
value of play, and opportunities for

MISLED by PARROTS.
How Columbus Missed the Honor of
Discovering This Continent.

A flight of birds, coupled with a
sailors superstition, robbed Colum-
bus of the honor of discovering the
continent. When Columbus sailed
westward over the unknown Atlantic
he expected to reach Zipangu (JaA
PAM. After several days sail from
Corners, one of the Canary Islands,
he became uneasy at not discovering
Zipangu, which, according to his
reckonings, should have been ZIG
nautical miles more to the east.
After a long discussion he yielded
to the opinion of Martin Alonzo Pin
zon, the commander of the Pinta, and
steered to the southwest. Pinzon was
guided in his opinion solely by flight
of parrots which took wing in that
direction. 1t was good luck to follow
in the wake of flock of birds when
engaged upon voyage of discovery,
according to widespread superstition
among Spanish seamen of that day.
If Columbus had kept to his course
he would have entered the Gulf
Stream, have reached Florida, and
then probably have been carried to
Cape Hatteras and Virginia.-Pitts-
burg Press.
