Girls Sailor Jumper Suit.

The sailor jumper suit Is one of the
latest and best liked developments Of
that favorite model, and here is one
made from white linen, with bands Of
blue, which Is smart and summer-like
in the extreme. The long, loose
blouse is drawn on over the head
without an opening, and the big sail
or collar makes Its pretty and appro-
pirate finish. In this case no shield
is worn, and for very warm days and
for tennis and other outdoor sports
that style is a most desirable one, but
the shield can be used whenever
liked.
The suit consists of the jumper and
the skirt. The skirt is straight and
can be either pleated or gathered at
its upper edge, where 1t can be Joined
to fitted body lining or to belt.
The blouse Is made with front and
back portions. II Is faced at the
front and the collar Is Joined to the
neck edge. The sleeves are simple
plain ones, with cuffs finishing their
lower edges. The separate shield can
be used and adjusted under the
blouse or the body lining can be faced
to give the effect; or, again, the suit
can be worn without the shield, when
the skirt should be attached to a belt
in place of the body lining.

Snarrow Blood as Medicine.

The manufacture of cough mix

a coolie into trouble the other day.
Sunday he was found in the Sinza

possession. The man was brought up

in the course of the case it transpired
that the coolie was catching the SPAR
rows in order to sell them to medi-

to keep them alive was that the medi-

mixture out of their blood, would
not buy them if they were dead. The
coolie was cautioned and his gear

The Biggest Cracker,

The "kasabi' torta 1--WE get our
word tart" from torta) of Hispan-
America is the biggest regularly
made cracker on earth, bigger than
the special matzoths of Manhattan's
Jew side, which, however, are only
made for a short period in the year.
1t is made from the kasabi root and
lightly fired in cakes about the size of
a small parasol.
A cracker for a hat! Such indeed
is sometimes the use made by the
Latin poems of the kasabi torta when
needing temporary sun shade (som-
brero). The torta is always made
bowl shaped so it can be balanced on
the head without any particular eff
fort-and providing no wind inter-
feres. Rain, however, quickly soaks
and collapses this singular edible

SCARFS FOR EVENING.

Scarfs will be used instead of even
fng cloaks. 1t is only the decolletage
that requires protection on warm
evenings, and the scarf is all that is
necessary. Delightful scarfs are
woven for this purpose in supple gold
and silver tissue, bordered with
fringe and embroidered with bullion
thread. Transparent evening cloaks,
too, have evolved from the scarf idea.
"A scarf is arranged over a soft silk
yoke, with the ends falling down in
front, and gathered to the edge of the
yoke is cloak of net or some other
transparent material which gives a
slight protection from dust, but which
is worn chiefly for effect.-New York

FAULTS OF OUR GARDENS.

Tardily, but Interestingly, an Eng

introduction to Newport last summer
is making comments on the gardens
there, of which she made a careful
study. She says American women

about their great love for art, yet let
opportunity go by to prove that love.
She says they leave their gardens al
most entirely to the care of the gar
deners or else make silly improve
ments" that will be eyesores for
years. Though there are men who
understand how to lay out gardens in
agreeable colors which have "the
quiet charm of an old rug" the ideas
of many others are limited in scope
and they have little knowledge of the
possibility of color. In short, she
finds that no garden that is left to
the care Of underlings can be artisti-
cally perfect.-New York Press.
