Men on Whom Many Lives Depend.

The travelling public gives but very
little consideration to these men who
guard their lives. The work of the signal
man is connected with the train just as
much as is that of the conductor or the
engineer. and the former probably has
more power than either of the other two
officials. upon whom so much depends.

mand for the colored leather in all
styles. The pretty evening slipper OF

Seryiceable shoes for street wear are

prices for the new footwear range from

Next to the bronze. the suede is the

spring and early summer. Many OF the
suede shoes are trimmed with q braid
on the toes. matching the color of the

seemingly. to the slenderness OF the shoe.
Many women wear shoes to match their
gowns, as the shoes can be procured in
almost any color desired this summer.
The suede and bronzes will remain In

into the early winter. Gibson ties are

In history. Some vacations nre beneficial

All kinds Of exercises are recommended
for the vacationist, but the exercise must
not lie taken too strongly. Over-indul@-
ence In athletics often spoiIs ones entire

seashore for rest is often more exhausted
on her return than when she left the
city.
In the country, where many city peo-
pie spend their summer vacation. one
can indulge in too strenuous exercise.
Tennis is good, and one of the best ex-
ercises, but even tennis, when played
to the extreme, Will tire one out and
make one nervous and irritable. so that
when the return home is made the effect
of the oyerindulgeuce is manifest.
On the other hand, some regular exer-
else should he taken. One must not loli
about in a hammock reading the latest
novel all the time. No exercise is even
worse than too much. The loiliug and
the exercise combined, with neither taken

At the senshore one is very apt to
overindulge In swimming. This popular
sport In the waves is one OF the best
exercises, developing the muscles. Yet
when taken to the extreme 1t is most
injurious A swim in the evening or in

Summer Gloves.

~ HE chamois glove, which sprang into
such popularity last summer is still
- being worn very much. Almost all
the other colors worn last year are
popular this summer, but the long
glove is no more. The long glove. which
went to the elbow, was not only a nui-
Sance, but 1t cost again much the
regular size glove. Its demise is hailed
with joy
The chamois glove is easily washed,
easy to dry and attractive in appearance.
The chamois is only an 'undress' ma
terial, like woven silk or cotton, although
it Is q step above the others. Men also
often wear chamofs, especially in the
business districts. One may wear chamois
gloves for shopping or for morning visits,
even IL the gown be foulard. If the
frock is of the plainest gingham cotton
and silk gloves are proper.

TAILOR-MADE SUITS.

N EGARDLESS OF the fact that it was
IA predicted that tailormade suits
~ would be a thing OF the past this
summer and fall. the women cling TO them
with tenacity. The efforts to launch a
new skirt with a pannier effect had its
vogue for short time, but the return
to the tailor made was rapid. skirt
with q shirred waistband is also one of
the latest effects. and some are seen dot
ted with foulard. a girdle to match and
the foundation of color plain satin.
Mrny of the favorite tailor made suits
are of silk and wool combinations. and
the white wool suit is one of the sea-
sons essentials.
White serge probably has no rival
among the white woolens, yet the French
dressmakers have used sort OF cord
cloth. not unlike heavy whipcord. The
Bedford cord and cCtele effects are also
worn this summer. Large and loose sep
arate coats are made OF white serge, and
they are very comfortable to throw over
summer gown in the evening. They
add very little warmth. One coat is
shown with raglan shoulder and a seam
up the bias of the back.
BATHING SUIT FOR BABY.
RAA ANY mothers who go to the sea
shore or the lake resorts where
j kthere is good bathing are often per-
picked as to what kind of a bathing suit
to make for the chubby little youngster,
who is probably just getting anxious to
paddle in the waves. This can be made
over his own Russian blouse pattern,
boomers and all. These suits should be
made of wooden material, and either
cream or blue serge is the most salts
factory because it does not thicken as
does flannel when wet. The belt can
also be used.

The Skin in Summer.

~ HE blazing sun is probably harder
n than the bitter wind OF winter on
~ the skin, but tepid or moist sum
rner has an excellent effect. The Ameri-
can climate, unlike ttIt Of England. has
an effect Of driving out the skin, especial
Iy In places away from the coast The
American woman is not fond of indoor
life; she must be In the open; hence the
blazing summer sun ruins many com
plexion. The question arises to what
to do to protect the skin. One cannot
wear a heavy vell-that Is absurd. Cos
metics may serve on cold winter after
noon. but they are almost unhearabIe I'm
summer, and even the powder must he
put carefully.
When one goes out Inro the open air on
hot days or In the binding glare of the
suns rays one should always coat the
face with little cold cream to make n
slight protective layer of grease over the
cuticle. through which the rays will not
penetrate. And over this should be busted
some violet talcum or fine rice powder.
Special care should be taken later to
wash the powder, cream and dust from
the face. Tepid water should be used,
with little almond meal instead of
soap. Soap is not good to rub on the
face in summer unless one is quite sure Il
Is pure. Good drinking water rs also es-
sential to the purity of the skin. Very
hot water is excellent in both summer
and winter. as is orange juice. taken be-
fore the meals and throughout the after
noon. When the skin burns and is harsh
Il does not need water, but should he
cleaned with cold cream and wiped with
n soft cloth, then sponged with mild
solution of oenzoin ana alcohol.
