=ACTS AND FHDS IN THE REALMS OF HOH1E AND FASHION
Waisfcoofs for Spring Suits

Seine vests for the spring suits are
made OF lSnife-pleated taffeta one shade
lighter than the suit. sewn like a ruffle
inside the jacket. These silk vests are
more becoming to some figures than the
stiff, tight-htting vest OF embroidery and
braid, but they greatly detract from the
tailored appearance, and are. therefore.
not likely 10 take the place OF the lat
ter.
A plain vest IS made OF broadcioth,
strictly tailor made and fastened down
the single-breasted front with fouI pearl
buttons. while another Is composed Of
alternate bands OF Chinese embroidery
and Copenhagen blue satin, running d.
agOnaly down the front
A white serge suit is finished with a
vest Of pleated white wolfe lined with
taffeta. and, indeed. the effect IS Iar
more attractive than IL sounds.
Another vest is Of accordian-pleated
black satin. bound at neck ana waist
in japanese embroidery in shades OF
blue. Both of these aforementioned
vests greatly improve the figures Of
those women too hat-chested to indulge
In he plain tight-1tting vest
Some white and blue striped linens
are being made UP with the Waistcoat
OF the same material, cut on the bias.
or else solid blue 10 match the stripe
Sometimes, too. these stripes are out
lined with q very narrow soutachs braid.
and on others the braid Is sewn so that
the stripe and braided lines cross each
other diagonally.
There Is no detail OF woman's cos
tune, excepting always the collar and
ne, that permits OF more variation than
does the vest. Any ornaments. from
pailettes 10 buttons, are permitted, and
any color Is desirable and proper.

The forthcoming International Con-
gress of Mothers. which win begin

NJ E. Church, promises to be one Of
the most important conventions ever

Emperor Williams Cards

The German Emperor believes IN being
sufficiently represented. even on
visiting card. No ordinary sized piece
Of pasteboard Will suffice him. for VII
Ham's cards measure no less than six
inches in length and four in width. on
the upper line is the single word ''Wil-
helm" and below are the words
'Deutscher Kaiser and ''KOnig Won
Preussen." The words are printed in
large fat. German script letters. OF
course. the Emperor does not carry
these imposing sheets Of pasteboard
himself; they are conhded 10 his chas-
sur. or body servant, who follows him
The other sovereigns Of Europe are
content with more modest visiting cards,
with the words upon them in Latin
script Among the simplest in size and
appearance are those Of the Emperor of
Austria and the Prince Of Wales. The
English one bears the words, THE
Prince of wales" the other the French
equivalent, Prince de Gales. Tit Bits.

Homemade Braid

A charming braid may be made at
home by stringlng china beads OF blue
or pink on a fine wire and lacking them
on a foundation OF narrow gold braid.
The design may be zigzag or semi-cir-
cular, and a more attractive trimming
10 brighten a somber black house
gown cannot be imagined.
Plated taffeta ribbon. too. makes a
most charming silk braid and il may
be used in all sorts OF ways, for out
Aiming yokes. trimming skirts, and
making the necessary empire lines on
house and evening gowns TwO-inch
.taffeta ribbon Is the material used, and
1T may be plated. using three or four
strands, the latter, OF course. making
the under braid. 1t is one Of many at
ftractive things that can be made in
the idle evenings at home, and as plait-
ing requires no more than the sense OF
touch. IL is a nice occupation when
1.-THE eyes are tired.
The easiest way to make the braid is
TO cut a piece Of soft taffeta ribbon IN
three equal parts. pin them together 10
the top Of a chair and begin 70 plat.
AS the braid gets longer IL may be
again fastened 10 the chair, just so
that there is always firm hold on the
ribbon otherwise the braiding will
become uneven.

Jeweied Clasps foc Staps

When all the usual Injuries are pro-
vided for women OF extravagant taste,
some original and totally unnecessary
excess win be seized upon by them.
The new clasps for cbrsets answer 10
this description admirably, for OF all
Injuries they are the most luxurious.
CT designs in gold. they are studded
with precious stones and used as clasps
and garter buckles. Sometimes they
are Of fieur-de-lis shape. and sometimes
they are Of a plain design, but always
they are too magnificent for the use
for which they are made
New diamond garter buckles are
made in swastika shape, and others are
built OF the plan OF the lucky circle
and serpent. one set OF buckles shown
was designed with a golden circle and
platinum serpent. the latter with a
ruby eye.

SfsaW 1oqUes and POmpoHs

Many Of the new spring hats are
trimmed with pompons OF satin straw
or a lighter straw of a different color
than the hats. To these are sometimes
fastened a quill made Of straw, and.
although the combination IS considered
smart, Il cannot help giving the hat
a very Teady-made effect. Straw trim
mings have been introduced before into
the spring fashions but at no time
have they been favOrably received.
A straw tOqus IN the natural color
is trimmed with two large pOmpons OF
acknowledgment, and the effect, while
new. is nslther becoming nor partiCu-
larry pretty.
In fact, straw toques themselves are
not very good unless made OF the soft
est material on the market, neapOlitau
or lcghOTn.

Sectional SieeUes

The new sectional sleeve has succumb-
ed 20 Oriental influence. and the little
bands Of material now top the shoulder
and are used 10 make the bodice OF the
gown. leaving always place for the
guimpe. When the sections OF the waist
are IN line with the sections OF the
sleeves, the dress looks nor unlike O
wcil-made layer cake.
A new dress shown in one OF the
spring exhibitions has not only sec
uOnai sleeves and bodice, but the skirt
IS also made in bias sections only a
little larger than those used above. In
some cases these are all graduated,
sleeves and shoulder sections being the
same size. and the others continually
growing larger until the foot OF the
skirt is finished in a decent-sized
fOunce
To q tail figure the new design IS
most becoming, but woe betids the
short, plump girl who INDUCES in q COS
tune cut on these lines.

One of the newest aids to beauty is
the perfumed cap. This is an elaborated
copy OF the old-fSshioned nightcap worn
by our grandmothers. and IS extremely
tasteful IN design, being OF silk In any
color and trimmed with dainty. filmy
lace.
Appearance. however. is not its only
virtue. Cunningly concealed in the in

District Game Rules II Let You
After September /.
PUZZLE: FIND THE DEER!
These Local Laws Are Just Lovely
and Liberal.
DON'T KILL EN- IN YOUR YARD
| But 200 Yards From a House You
Can Just Soak in Salubrious
Assorted Slaughter.

Shorty Ferris, who lives over Anacostia
way. says he is satisfied, and when Shorty
is satisfied every one ought to be. for
what. with getting short changed on the
street cars and having to bail out his
boats that people hire Sundays, and hav-
ing trouble with his bum leg, Shorty has
terrible time. Shorty walked off dock
one night in his youth and broke his leg,
and not believing in doctors. he got a
friend Of Ibis, Jack Zabrlskie by name. to
act as surgeon. Jack bound up the men,
Der with tire tape and wished 1t good
luck.
Since then Shorty has had some trouble
in getting along in the world but he Is re-
assured now and wants every one to know
it. He took q trip to the Department OF
Agriculture recently. 1t was his first visit
to that part of the town since he was a
youngster, and she says the place is all
built up and no one would recognize it.
A Hunter Bold Is He.
But to get at the meat of Shorty's ex-
ultation one has to know he has found
out that even If hard winter stares him
in the face. he may be able to CLEAN an
honest living by trapping and hunting.
Shorty brought back with him large
placard. printed for the benefit of hunters
which tells him that after September 1 it
will be lawful to hunt and shoot deer in
the District of Columbia. provided he
does not shoot any within 200 yards OF
residence. That Is good news, not only
for Shorty, but for the rest of mankind
who have been kicking about conditions
here in the District and wanting all sorts
of changes.
Dear DeerP Why, Sure!
Not only can deer be shot lawfully. but
everybody may go hunting here without a
license, just as they do out in Oklahoma,
Nevada and New Mexico. That makes
Washington one Of the only four hunting
grounds where q man can hunt without
paying for it. The District is in the same
class with the wild west.
For a couple Of months Shorty will live
on venison, duck, plover, snipe and reed
birds. He can shoot them all without
fear. Then, beginning with November l.
he will go after squirrel. rabbits, quail,
partridges. grouse. pheasant and wild tur-
key. Things look pleasant to Shorty. He
says he can exist for two months on
deer and the other game that the game
Laws OF Washington will permit him to
bag. and is beginning to lay in his supply
Of cartridges
True! OF Course, It's True!
1t is perfectly true about those game
laws. Any one can see for himself IL he
will send for a placard. The laws OF
Maryland. Virginia, District of Columbia
and North Carolina are all tabulated on
one big sheet. and show very plainly that
the District is a perfect heaven for hunt
ers.
There is one drawback. though The
table says that in Washington grebes are
protected. So 1t will be unlawful to shoot
a grebe. But it is all right about deer.

CRUISING IN THE CHESAPEAKE.
Capt. Charles II. Coe and Party in
Yacht Seminole.

The auxiliary yacht Seminole, Charles
H. Coe Of Langdon, D. c.. owner and cap
tain, has just returned from an extended
cruise In Chesapeake bay. The object
Of the cruise was prospecting for Indian
relics. fishing, photosraphing and a gen.
eral good time. Mr.. Goes son, Mayne, of
the chemical labratory, bureau of en-
craving and printing, was q member of
the party for the first half of the trip.
then his place was taken by Mr.. Charles
w. Br1dwell Of the government printing
ONCE.
Leaving Washington on the evening of
July %, the Seminole went to the Pa
tuxent river. making short stops at Nom
mi bay. st. George river and st. Jeromee
inlet, the latter a small settlement on the
bay about six miles north Of Point Look
out. Several days were spent near Solo
mons Island. Patuxent harbor. While
here the teeth. backbone and fms Of an
eight-foot shark were secured The fish
Ing in this locality is not surpassed on
the bay. The catch one day, with hook
and line, was forty.
South river. ten miles south Of An
napolis. was the next point visited. This
locality was once the home Of q large
body Of Indians. and many relics. the
only record left by these red men to indi
cate that they once existed were found.
The large oyster shell mounds and
extensive shell fields. at various points
on the bay and its tributaries. are proof
that the red men were fond of shell fish
In some localities these deposits are
from two to nine feet in depth. The In
dams never opened the oyster as the
white man does. but roasted or steamed
them. No shells show signs of having
been broken open.
Mr.. Bridwell Joined the yacht at An
napolis. from which place they went d.
rect to Poplar Island, twenty miles down
the bay. This island Ia about three miles
from the eastern shore, and Is shaped
not unlike q horseshoe. thus anording a
fine land-locked harbOr for craft draw

miles long and one-half mile wide. Part
OF it is covered with dense growth of
tall pine. About twenty families live on
the island. forming little community all
by themselves. They engage in farming
and vegetable growing In the summer and
Clustering in the winter. The oysters here
are especially fine and are more plentiful
than on the western shore. A post ONCE,
Valiant, il located on the island. Near
the post ONCE Is a flowing we'll OF cool.

other eastern shore iocalities' mosqui-
toes were plentiful. great contrast to
the western shore. where these pests
were almost unknown.
Stops were made at Black Walnut cove,
TiIghmans Island and Cambridge and OK
ford. on the Choptank and Tired Avon
leading pursuit at all eastern shore
points. with farming next. Cambridge
is q model little city, with many fine
residences and shaded streets. The water
supplied by the city comes from a depth
of over 500 feet. with a temperature like
ice water. There are no saloons and
thrift and prosperity are evidenced on
every hand. 1t is said that large pro-
portion OF the inhabitants own their own
domiciles.
