English moorland and Scottish
glens are coming to hold more and
more attraction for Americans and it
is no uncommon sight as one traverses
the country to see the stars and stripes
floating side by side with the British
Jack over some sumptuous shooting
lodge which is peopled by Americans.
During the shooting season these
places are centers of social activities
IN which the Americans shine as hosts
and prove that American hospitality
in the picturesque mansions holds
peculiar charm. There is a growing
appreciation of the beauty of English
and Scottish country places, and while
the hunting season is at its height
these hunting lodges are the center
of little world all their own.
Life in a Scottish country house is
different from that in an English
abode. Train journeys are long, High
land railways are slow, and although
motors have done much, yet the drive
from the station often means matter
of many miles. A shooting invitation

AMERICAN NOT A REALlsT.
Rather an IdeaTist, According ia
Baron Won Sternburq.

1t has frequently struck me in listen
ing to Impressions received in Amer
lea by foreign travellers that the Amer
lean In his deepest nature is realist
who strives for power and wealth and
outer comfort; that the object of his.
life is to pile up the mighty dollar.
People who speak thus seem to me
blind to everything which lies below
the surface. They seem to have
studied the mills and factories of the
industrial centers and to have neg
lected to reid or understand the
character of the American man or
woman.
Since my first arrival in America
have held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me cannot have sounded the depths of
the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emer-
son or studied the life and read the
speeches Of Abraham Lincoln and con-
sidered their far-reaching effect on
the American people.-Baron Speck

The possession Of at least one hat
or toque bearing the fashionable bur-
den of a gracefully draped veil will
be an absolute necessity for every
woman who wants to be in fashion
this season. The vogue of the veil is,
you will see, to be noted in the case
of the smartly simple hats destined
as companions for morning and travel
ing tailor-mades, as we'll as in the
more picturesque and elaborate va
riety of headgear. There is, for ex-
ample, that very piquant and diminu-
tive affair of brown felt, where q veil
of soft green crepe de chine is drawn
round the crown and deity draped
over the closely upturned brim at the

erly put on. The thick veil is suitable
for outdoor and morning wear. Some
women make the great mistake of
wearing a too thick veil with thin
dress and straw hat, or vice versa, q
fine tulle veil with a heavy, dark cloth
dress.
In putting on the veil see that the
middle of your veil is in the middle
OF the front of your hat, then decide
how much fullness you want at top
and bottom, and draw it straightly
and smoothly from the hat to the
chin, and secure it at the top; but do
not attempt to arrange it there as
yet. Now give all your attention to
tie lower edge of the veil, and bring
it around to the back, so that there
are no wrinkles or folds across the
veil anywhere. Gather the two ends
firmly and tie them, tucking them
away neatly. Let the chief strain be
about the lower edge, but never across
the middle Of the veil.
