His 1rip Abroad.

THE average American business
man does not care very much for a
trip to Europe. If he will consent to
take a few minutes away from bust
ness he usually prefers to get into
the woods, where he can knock around
in old clothes, have a few hardships,
plenty of exercise and a great deal of
freedom"
Thus spake Zarathustra to the New
York Times. Continuing:
My brother. who is president of a
large New York corporation, let his
wife prevail on him to take a brief
trip to Europe this summer. re-

A son of Hiram Denny, a poultry

the Conestoga and had occasion to
leave his line unattended for a short
time. When the youth returned the
line was spanned like the snare of a

Boston, July 16.-Mrs. Mary Baker
Glover Eddy, the founder of Christian
Science, is today celebrating he S7th
birthday. Admirers and followers of
the famous religious leader in all parts
of the world sent telegraph and cable
messages of congratulation. Mrs.

Mrs. Eddy's followers declare that
their leader has been persistenly mis-
represented by a prominent New York
newspaper, especially as regards her
physical and mental health. When this
journal recently declared that she was
ill, because she had failed to take her
customary drive, Mrs Eddy issued the
following caustic public statements:

costume, one piece being a little coatee
which may be modelled after the eton,
the bolero or loose half-long coat.
With heavier materials the sleeveless
coat will be used.
The short skirt is still more popular
for the street, and when one considers
the color and texture of the materials
now in vogue for summer skirts and
dresses, the fashion is a sensible one.
Long skirts that extend above the
waist line are used as house gowns or
for outside dressy wear, and it is be-
coming quite the proper thing to have
a coat for dress gowns as well as with
the strictly tailored short-skirted suit.
| The new linen separate skirts are
found with many cores, each gore well
welded. Such skirts are usually in
white and intended for wear with
shirtwasts of lawn, batiste or fine
linen. Duck or pique is seen quite as
often as linen in these skirts.
An idea that carries out the full
dress design is seen in having tailored
waists that match any skirt to be
worn A blue skirt may have several
blue waists, one in Copenhagen, Alice
or one in blue grey.
