Parnassus, Pa, is a quiet little place,
but a pretty IS year old girl, Myrtle
Rowe, may make it famous.
Myrtle is modest, but she does claim
baseman in western Pennsylvania and
all the residents of Parnassus and VAL
ley Camp as well as Arnold, Pa, are
ready to back up her claim.
She is a member of the Farnassus
Antlers, a baseball team composed
besides herself of young men ranging
in ages from II to 10 years.
When she plays-and she plays ev-
cry game that the team does-she
wears a most becoming baseball uni
form.
Myrtle has ambitions. She says she
hopes to play a game with Hans Wag-
ner some day. Deacon Phillippi of
the Pittsburg Pirates has promised to
teach her a few things she doesn't
know about pitching in the near future
and soon she hopes to discard the first
basemans mitt and become a first
class twirler.

very newest neckwear is made of the
finest silk mousseline or null. 1t is
fully eight inches wide with deep en-
broidered ends and is tied in four loops
and two wide ends. The smaller lace
bows and the plated jabots have not
been many changes and are much worn
with the embroidered linen collars and
the tailored shirtwaists.
One of the most charming gowns ever
seen was made for bridesmaid in En-
pire princess style. The materials were
white marquisetts over canary yellow
satin. The Empire overdress was fin
ished with Bruges lace which fell over
the deep -shaped hem of yellow satin,
There were undulating rows of SOU
tache above the lace points which al
ternated with band of lace inser-
ton and medalioas. r'he bodice was
trimmed with the soutache, medalions
and insertion, the latter outlining the
yoke. The oversleeve was of Burgess
lace and was cut with the bodice
while the unders1eeve was draped with
white net over yellow satin. A line of
moss green velvet just outside the
yoke and at the elbows ON the under
sleeves, gave character TO the gown.
The draped girdle, not very wide, was
of green satin and fell in the back wi n
knitted ends.

FASHION HINTS.

One would not ordinarily think OF
having eny material as soft and frail
as batiste or mousseline made with a
circular skirt but that is just what is
being done, and very attractive these
dresses are. OF course, a skirt of this
sort must be very long. 1t is cut so
that, like any circular model, 1t fits
very smoothly around the hips, then
as different distances below there are
clusters of plaits inset. These clus-
sters are really cores, so narrow at
the top that they are mere points, and
therefore the skirt proper fits over
them so as to appear in the folds as
though cut in one with it. The lower
part is then exceedingly full and far
ing. With the apex forming a straight
line down from the hips, triangles of
lace insertion are applied, each ex-
tended to meet the one from the other
side at the center front. 1t is a very
effective design.

AMERICAN HENLEY REGATTA.

Philadelphia, Pa, May, 23.-When the
race in the annual regatta of the
American Rowing association, popu-
larly known as the American Henley,

a large crowd of rowing enthusiasts

especially in the matter of college
crews Among the big institutions
represented in one or more of the
events are Yale, Harvard, Georgetown,
Pennsylvania and New York univer-
sity.
Every indication pointed to the con-
tests being the finest Of the year in
this country. Without question, the
schedule contains the names of the best
rowing talent in this country. and it
is certain that the regatta will be the
most successful ever held by the Amer
lean Rowing association. 1t is the
first big regatta of the year. and this
fact explains the large number of en-
tries and the enthusiasm being mani
fested. All the races today are for one
mile and $50 yards straightaway.
The list of events is practically the
same as year ago consisting of the
following twelve events:
First pair Dared shells.
First eight-oared shells for the
Stewards cup.
Second single SOULS.
Second four-oared SOULS.
Second eight-oared shells for the

RAIN STOPS EN- AGAIN.

New York, May 22.-The White Sox
were prevented from taking another
game from the Yankees this after
noon by the weather man. The grounds
were too wet after the heavy fall of
rain during last night, and Manager
Griffith called the game off at 1 o'clock
so that the Sox did not have to dress
and go out to the park and spoil most
of their afternoon by taking the long
ride to the hilltop grounds.
Some of the players took advantage
of the opportunity to go out to Bel
mont park to watch the ponies. Davis
Parent, Atz and Manager Jones made
the trip out to Long Island, and hoped
that they would be able to carry some
of the bookmakers' coin home with
them. but they were not Boosting about
their success after their return.
