Only One Veteran Left.

The only veteran who is left in the
varsity four-Oared crew is T. W b
WEIGH. 1903. who rowed bow oar last
year and who is rowing there now. r
Z. Coulson. 1903. is No. 2 and Forbes
was rowing No. s. The stroke Of the
four Is L. G. Halberg. 1909. This crew
has not been together long enough yet
20 show what 1t can do. and now that
Forbes is out OF il It IS severely handi-
capped. A man 10 take his place has
not yet been definitely decided upon.
The freshman crew Is still an IN
known quantity. Courtney is not givine
much time 20 it at present, and Coach
COulson. who usually puts most of his
time on this combination. has been too
busy helping out with the varsity.

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Linen plays an important part in the
summers fashions, and while the va
rious shades of brown are, in the lead
there is really no limit to the color
range.
Yachting suits show little variation
from year to year, the only distln-
gushing features now being the deep
crush girdle and the tendency to less
blouslng all around. White remains in
first place.
There seems to be nothing yet that
has the power to eliminate entirely
either the plated skirt or the decOra-
tive bands, but they have become so
common that a change Is to be ex-
pected in the early fall.
Effort to secure long, simple lines
through nOntailored effects is plainly
emphasized In the newest Of the linen

Surnmer Refreshment.

1t must be dainty morSel to tempt
us in the hot summer afternoons and
evenings, and yet an appropriate little
spread is just the thing to refresh one
on an oppressive day.
1t is impossible to buy fresh biscuit
or waters IN bulk. To be good they
must be newly baked and perfectly
protected.
The National Biscuit Company comes
to the rescue with biscuits and waters
of all kinds in moisture and dust
proof packages that so preserve their
oven freshness, that their real age dates
only from the time the package is
opened.
Perhaps the most popular for the
summer season are Social Tea Biscuit.
For porch or lawn picnic or party,
luncheon, supper, tea or dessert. they
are equally good and always appropri-
ate
Social Tea Biscuit should be served
from the original package if you wish
to enjoy them to the fullest extent, be-
cause when the box is opened and the
crisp little biscuit eaten at once, it is
just like taking them from the oven.
All their goodness and flavor is there
for you to enjoy. The package itself
is so artisticaly designed that it's at
tractive appearance alone would

gest to you at once the various uses

introduced an ordinance providing for

kill it. MIR. Herman says that he was
joking with Councilman Mcdonald and
