BOUGHT Site for Summer Home.

T. E. Saunders of New York
CITY, who was here looking for
location for a summer home, left
on his. return to New York today.
Mr.. Saunders went with DR.. Taylor
and Mr.. Frazier yesterday to in
.spect the Laguna Vista town-site
and no sooner landed than he said:
Here is my home Further ex-
ploration of the site ard investiga-
ton of the plan fully sustained his
first decision and he ended by in
yesting in a block of stock in the
Laguna Vista club.
The promoters of this enterprise
have cause to congratulate them
selves upon securing Mr.. Saunders
as an investor, as he will IN all
probability induce of number very
prominent persons to build summer
homes at Laguna Vista. He was
formerly connected with the man
agement of the Majestic theater of
New York, and is intimately ac-
quainted with a number of promi-
nenf theatrical stars some of whom
are even now seeking an ideal To-
cation for a summer home.
Tim Murphy, the well known
Tammany leader of New York, is
a brother-in-Iaw of Mr.. Saunders
and this also brings him into inti-
mate association with many nota-
bles who would depend upon his
Judgment in such a matter. Among
others, he mentioned Dorothy Dix,
the popular writer, as one who had
commissioned him to select a loca-
ton for home for her. He intends
to build handsome home for him
self at Laguna Vista, and is as
sured that many of his friends will
follow his example.
Il have travelled all over the
world and have been for two years
looking for location for a home, !"
said Mr.. Saunders yesterday, and
Laguna Vista is the most magnifi-
cent location l have ever seen.

And, half suspected, animate the whole;
OF mOrdant mustard add a single spoon,
Distrust the cOndimenL that bites too
soon;
But deem 1t not, thou man of herbs. a
fault
To add a double quantity Of salt;
-Four times the spoon with oil from

And twice with vinegar procured from

Hats Faced With I1eIUef

Washer a hat be saucer or fare brim-

occasionally topheavy and inartistic.
For this purpose plain, shaded, and POM
padour taffetas are employed, and where
the pOmegranates and blues or the grays
and pompadours are interwined happy
effects are gained. The same idea is
used in arranging the ostrich plumss,
which are the sole trimming OF some OF
the larger hats, when four or more

Vogue of SoufacRe

In the fashionable trimmings OF the
year can be mentioned soutache, watch
has sprung to the very fore as a trim
ming. Many are the dresses that are
trimmed with it. and not few OF the
gowns are so heavily braided with SOU
tache that they fairly stand alone. A
world OF work is spent upon these
dresses, and they certainly repay tne
worker In the matter of prettiness, for
sOutache has a certain delicate beauty
Of its own. And another fashionable
trimming Is Persian trimming, which
comes in many widths and is used upon
the incest of winter gowns. It IS soft in
its tones, and il has the merit Of match
ing or harmonizing vita nearly every
thing, There are few gowns that are
not made prettier by the addition or
little touch OF Persian. It is unfortu-
natsly never cheap trimming, but IL
wears well and holds its colors per-
fectiy.
