"ORCHARD" BOATMEN TAKE LIFE
EASY THESE WARM DAYS

The bang Of the hammer and the
glorious chug-chug Of gasoline en-
gines are heard at the "Orchard" at
Eleventh street bridge these summer
days. For the power-boat season is
at its height and the denizens of the
little boating colony are in a fever
of excitement to be on the water
chugging down the river. up the river
or bouncing over the bay.
Boating is about the oldest recrea-
tion there is, and according to boat
men, aeroplaning isn't an approach to
the fun and thrill of a chug in a
power boat.
The Orchard is about the cutest little
colony Of mariners in or about VIII
mington, and lovers of the life
bohemian see IL there at its best. IN
the group of little vari-colored boat
houses and struggling landing places
beneath Eleventh street bridge, an
artist would find enough color and re-
pose to fill his notebook.
Just now the Orchard is a very busy
little town of boat people. EVERYBODY
is polishing engines, "caull<ing,"
"swabbing'' and doing other myster-
ious things. the purpose of which is
known to only the dyed-in-the-wo
boatmen. Every little while a trim
power boat snorts out with a proud
little tilt OF the bow for journey up
or down the river. followed by the
envy of loiterers gazing down from the
bridge.
The Orchards has a larger population
than most persons suppose. Almost
every little house or shack on the
ground contains one or more boatmen

For the Window Box.

II the porch and window boxes are on
the south side of a building they
should be watered morning and even
ing; II not, once a day is sufficient dur
ing the months of July and August.
When the boxes are watered they
should be thoroughly soaked until the
water runs out of the drsinageway.
Merely wetting the tops Of the plants
will only serve to injure them.
Two or three times a week is it wise
to turn the hose on the foliage with
the first spray nozzle attached TO wash
off all the dust.
BY the middle of July. the geraniums
will need wedding out, and they should
be gone over. with all the dead leaves
and faded blooms removed.
The soil should be stirred with a
trowel and given light sprinkling Of
bone meal
If the plants have grown too tall the
leading shoots should be pinched out,
TO make them symmetrical.

A Prettv sewina Apron

A fancy little sewing apron. lately
struck the keynote Of newness, while
it could be easily copied by the clever
fingers of anyone so inclined. It was
made Of a fine muslin, in deep cream
shade, and the lower end was turned
up about four inches. An inch wide
hem at the top Of this pocket and an
other at the top of the apron were run
with leaf green ribbons and tied at the
ends in soft rosettes. The pocket that
extended across the apron and the tiny
hand pockets" above were decorated
with brilliant cretonne roses and a
leaf or two were appliqued to the ma
terial by buttonholing in green en-

NOTICES
A Word About Sleeves.

Sleeves are Of the greatest import-
ance I'm the prevailing modes.
Many Of the best are of the dress
material.
Nevertheless. the long tucked or
shlrred net or null. sleeve is pretty
and youthful looking
II is capable Of infinite adaptations
and takes the place OF the short
sleeve, so that there is little chance OF
our tiring Of it for sometime to come.
An attractive sleeve made OF the
dress material was plain and rather
close-htting TO a point two inches be-
low, where began a series Of narrow
tucks.
For the tucks a set Of insertion
bands should be substituted.
This gives the effect of deep CUFFS
II is a particularly good design
where the gown trimming is massed
between the bust and hips, as is q
favorite scheme.

For consistent, good, heady and ef-
fective twirling there is not a pitcher
in the country. with the exception Of
Christy Mathewson OF New York. who
can compare with Mordecai Brown.
the Chicago Nationals three fingered
star box artist. In fact. it is ooinci-
dent that when these two great twirl-
ers oppose each other IL generally re-
suits I'm a victory for the Chicago de-
livery clerk. The Cub players swear
by Mordecai. and many Of them have
been quoted as saying with the three
fingered one on the slab it spells vic
tory for the team Since his debut
into fast company he has always won
the majority of his games. Brown
is one of the real marvels of the pro-
fession. Tfe lost the forehnger Of his
pitching hand when he was seven
years old. yet he has overcome this
seemingly heavy handicap and twirls
superbly. The fact that Brown lacks
a finger, II is popularity believed. ac-
counts for the peculiarly puzzling
curves with which he has fooled so
many hard hitters. Brown is thirty
two years old and has lived nearly all
his life in Terre Haute. Ind. He used
to be a coal miner and learned to play
ball with teams Of the neighborhood.
In 1901 he got his first professional job
with the NTerre Haute team. In 1902
he was with Omaha in the Western
League. The st. Louis Nationals took
him in 1903. The next year Chicago
traded Pitcher Jack Taylor and Catch
er Mclean for Brown and Mike
