Tis THSt Trip 10 the Country.
The young son Of Louisville bust
ness man was taken on his first trip
to the country recently, says the
Louisville CourierJournaL In town he
has been wearing shoes and stockings
constantly, but after he got out in the
rural district he decided that he want
ed to do like all the other boys and go
barefooted. He refused to be hindered
by warnings as to what would happen
to him and peeled off.
He enjoyed himself immensely for
while after that, but it wasn't long
before he ran in crying. When they
asked him what had happened he drew
his sleeve across his eyes and said:
An old horsefly stuck a splinter into
me-"
An investigation showed that the
"horsefly" was a wasp.

COURTS MAY CLASH.
Alabama Authorities Defy Federal
Order in Arrestinq Beer Drivers


Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 2S.-The ar
rest in Birmingham Of two negro dray
men, who were hauling beer through
the streets, may result in a clash be-
tween the Federal authorities and the
police of birmingham. The beer was
hipped direct from another state,
and the arrests were made in defiance
of an order from the United States
circuit court. Judge Jones is busy in
Montgomery, and the case will IN
doubtedly be brought before Judge
W. T. Grubbs.
The United States Court has held
that delivery of an article bought in
another State is not complete until it
is made at the home Of the consignee:
that the consignee has the right to
have the article hauled from the de-
pot to his home A restraining order
was issued preserving the right But
the lie gislature passed still another
law, TO get around the provision of the
United States Constitution. If the
sale of beer to the BimiL-4au 4.-l
was bona fide transaction, if it was
ordered and shipped from another
State. the policemen who made the az
rest will have trouble with the FEEDER,
al authorities.

Sleeveless Princess Aprons.

- VERY girl who likes to experiment
with chatting dish and confectionery
recipes should protect her frocks with
Il sleeveless princess apron. A pretty
model which may be put together in two
hours time is made of pale pink, blue OF
green checked gingham, of delicately
tinted madras, of light colored denim,
percale or galatea. This garment covers
the entire front of the bodice, the whole
of the skirt, is finished around the bottom
with a narrow rurfle and has two hip
pockets.
The girl who prefers to dust her own
bric-a-brac should have a fine lawn knee
length apron,swith a six inch hemstitched
bib and shoulder straps of hemstitched
tucks, or with a Gibson bretelle trimmed
with embroidery insertion.
Tea aprons are of India linon, cotton
voile, batiste or dotted Swiss They are
small oval or diamond shaped affairs, bor-
dered with wide ruf1les, finished with a
one inch hemstitched hem and provided
with pockets and strings to match. Of
similar shapes, but rather more dainty
are the aprons of all over muslin en-
broidery trimmed with sheer plain mus
lin ruffling and provided with ribbon
strings. or of sheer plain muslin edged
with lace frillings and decorated with
satin ribbon ties and pocket bows.

for nothing now Indeed, the Vassar girl
who won glory from her wonderful agility
in jumping has many followers who strive
to beat her record, and there are other
athletic feats that have spurred later
classes to do their best on this great
day for them. An athletic field day has
its charms, there is no denying the fact,
and there are some who wonder if it is
not a more pleasing sight to watch the
modern Atalantas than the quantity cos
tuned dancers There is an attractive
ness about the figure of young girl who
is pitting her strength and cleverness
against others, and we feel Il thrill of
genuine admiration at her suppleness, her
grace and her quickness. The sports
mean more to many of us than the other
exercises do, and that is why field day
is never great success unless it has
series of contests. Sometimes these take
the form of games, hockey or tennis
match, one of basketball, or any other
game chosen by the girls,
Picturesque Costumes.
OF course, field day contestants in ath-
letic sports wear boomers or regulation
gymnasium suits. In these trim costumes
the girls may not look quite so picturesque
as they do in bright colored peasant dress,
but they do look 1.-the of limb and full OF
life and energy. Even hopiely girl. If
she be we'll built, makes an attractive
picture when clad in plain gymnasium
suit She looks jannty, fresh and grace
full and she seems to be herself. Ihere
are no affectations to mar her charm, for
affectations do not go well with sailor
blouse and boomers.
The senior is sure to have host of
friends as well as her family and relatives
to watch the various exercises as the week
of festivities progresses. And the under
class girl, too. can count on goOdly num-
ber of representatives from her family
and close circle of friends who are inter-
ested in seeing her and her college asso-
ciates taking part in their games and en-
tertainments In fact, invitations to
class celebration at the close of the year
are highly priced and much sought after.
They give you an insight into college life
and college play that cannot possibly be
gained in any other way than by being
either a participant or spectator on this
eventful occasion.

Colored umbrellas are fashionable
again, matching the shade of the rain

blue and brown are all seen among the
most recently imported umbrellas.
The smartest handle for an umbrella is
the long stick ornamented only with

monogram and address are marked ON the
fiat top, while if there is only jade
matrix or stone at the top the marking is
placed on the silver or gold band at the

it is noticed that there is an evident ten
dency toward giving more picturesque
and less strenuous forms of closing day
exercises than in former years. The ath-
letic wave has not disappeared entirely:
it has only receded little, and a newer
form of amusement, more feminine and
therefore more attractive, has swept over
the athletic wave. Sports have their ad-

Outdoor Fancy Dancing.
This year dancing is the keynote of theI
outdoor college exercises Schoolgirls
have fallen under the terpsichorean spell
just as society women have, and running
broad jumps, hurdle racing and fifty yard
dashes have given way TO charming fancy
dances. As city fetes have shown. there
is no setting quite so delightful for the
swing and poetry of motion as embodiedI
in the various national dances as the cool
greensward, with no roof but that of the
blue sky and with slender feet clicking

learning the gentle art of ballroom dane
ing as well as the more vigorous form of
exercise which the folk dancing offers,
but this formal dancing has no part in the
outdoor festivities. The season has been
one devoted to this particular muse, aud
every one who has participated in the
present dances grows more and more III
terested in the idea and its beneficial
physical effects.
At one of the colleges a hundred girls
gave an exhibition and drill in folk
dancing on the athletic field. They wore
peasant costumes and pirouetted with Il
grace and abandon that showed their
months of training 1t was a sight to
win enthusiasm and praise from all who
witnessed it, and the chances are in favor
of including this feature in the regular
outdoor exercises whether the athletic

BELT AND HAT PINS

N ELI pins which may be trans
formed into hat pins by merely
screwing long pin into a small eye
under the centre of the ornament some
times have heads of nearly three inch
diameter and of umbrella shape. They
are of composition enamelied in Oriental
effect, of metal trimmed with tiny rhine
stones Stimulating lace border, of rhine
stones colored with small amethyst, tur-
quoise and amber stones, or composed OF
semi-grapes or beads having etched
leaves applied and a large stone as a
centre ornament set in antique gold fin
ished metal.
A novel hat and belt pin combination
consists of a yariegated teldspar stone in
an antique setting attached to pierced
mushroom shaped metal head in COM
bination colOred finish. A second pin has
n large oval stone set in Roman metal,
finished in imitation of hand hammering
and chasing; a third has a cabochon top
of quartz matriK in an antique setting
mounted on Il pierced verde green head,
and a fourth is set with an oval shaped
amethyst sunken in satin silver.
Verde green metal in hand wrought
effect is set with four jade oyals about an
Egyptian head in dull finished feldspar,
while green glass is moulded into the
shape of a large beetle, which is socketed
in an antique metal setting.

whatever shade of parasol she desires. A

Folding umbrellas are once more to be

New Shirt Waists.

IN order to have the smart touch re-

of one color, and sometimes even all of
piece, in regard to shirt waist and its
accessories. If the shirt is of the popular

If the shirt is blue, tie, belt, handkerchief
and stockings must be blue, the acces-
sories in a slightly contrasting shade OF
the color of the shirt If the shirt is a
stripe or plaid you must precisely match
the predomnating color in it for the ac-
cessories, and with white shirt every
thing must be white.
