Gifts TO. .Bridegmaids
Made ip New and
Pretty IA SbioD.

At recent wedding the bride hit
on a novel way Of presenting the
souvenirs to her bridesmaids, that
sion.
After much looking she found in a
Russian art store number of fascinat-
ing old silver belt buckles, such as are
worn by the peasants in Russia.
The one drawback was that eight
buckles alike were not to be pur-
chased But the girl hit on the happy
plan of making the bridesmaids draw
for their own gifts.
Each buckle was done up daintily
in a box used for the wedding cake,
with the monogram of the bride and
groom on top. These were put in the
center of wedding bell. of white gar
den chrysanthemums. and white rib
bon with a small heart, cut from sill.
YER paper was attached to each pack
age.
The bell was homemade affair,
made from fine wire, with the flowers
stuck in through the meshes. Each
stem was wrapped in damp sphagnum
moss to keep 1t fresh.
The boxes were concealed in the top
of the bell above the clapper A wire
shelf was run across, with an opening
on one side through which the boxes
We're slipped. The shelf was hidden
by being wound with green's.
Each heart had number on the
wrong side. which was repeated on the
box to avoid mistakes.
At the close of the wedding supper
the bride rose and said: Il will now
ask my bridesmaids to wish me good
luck by ringing my marriage bell"
Each girl was then directed to take
hold of the first ribbon she could reach
and pull the bell gently seven times.
In order not to bring bell, boxes and
all down on the table the pulling was
very light.
AT the close of the ringing, each girl
was told to gently draw her ribbon to-
ward her. one at time. This took the
small boxes from the shelf without
possibility of breakage.
The boxes when opened were found
to contain, in addition to an odd
buckle. small card. with the date of
the wedding. the initials of the bride
and groom and merry jingle appro-
pirate to the occasion.

The earring is still pronounced. large
pearls and semi-precious stones being
freely worn.
Jumpers are modified into the direc
toire waistcoat of lace or linen worn
under coats. . i
Corsets are high in the bust, small
and round in the waist and very long
from the waist down.
Blue comes first in fall colors, and
the dark rich tone navy will be en-
ployed in many smart gowns.
Tosca nets when embroidered in
pastel coors are very rich for entire
waists. The embroidery need not be
very elaborate.
The variation of the usual pierrot
ruff is one composed of white and
gray maline from the collar of which
spring minute tails of brown fur.
Crystal beadwork is found upon
very dressy evening frocks, but the
style is not so well received as satin
flower decorations. Persian landings
are used under slashed waist seams.

SOFT TONES IN COMBINATION.
Feature That Is One of the Character
istics of the Season.

Combination of softest tones is one
of the seasons characteristics. At a
recent function a beautiful costume
was of dark gray crepe de chine richly
embroidered with a Japanese design
and worn with ruff of Alice blue and
a gray hat trimmed with blue
feather. 1t was a really wonderful ar
rangement, and the fair wearer was
the cynosure of all eyes.
Another beautiful dress was in the
directoire style. of natter blue. mar
quisette made over a foundation of
palest mauve. The hat was of blue.
trimmed with cloud of mauve chiffon
and blue fluff of marabout.
A pretty black gown of crepe de
chine was made with deep guimpe of
gold lace, while the sleeves We're also
of the lace, with a short oversleeve of
black. The crepe was draped round
the figure and the overskirt hung
gracefully below the line of the knee.

Straus and their young son, but also
for Secretary Loeb and several other
guests.
The most striking feature is the
central hall, with its stone chimney
where on wide open hearth spruce,
pine and maple logs blazed cheerily
and gave out needed warmth. especial
ly in the mornings and evenings, while
in Washington people were seeking
the parks and housetops to get refuge
from the humid heat.
Il feel that the head of this depart
ment ought to know something about
!, fishing" said Secretary Straus, almost
( naively, "as the bureau of fisheries is
learn about fishes you must love the
sport CT taking them"
One would have to go far to find a
more ardent sportsman and outdoor
athlete than the postmaster general of
the United States, George Won Len
gerke Meyer of Hamilton. Mass. With
him athletic exercise is little short of
a religion, and with his so years sit
ting lightly on him he can outride and
outwork most younger men. What he
goes through during his vacation
would kill any man whose nerves were
not in perfect trim, whose muscles
were not like whiplcords and whose
digestion was not capable of assimilat-
ing the heartiest viands.
But the postmaster general does not
try to crowd into brief vacation all
the exercise and open-air recreation of
an entire year Every, day he jumps
on his horse at seven o'clock in the
morning and takes a ride at a rafting
pace over country roads and cross
country in the bracing morning air.
He is an accomplished and daring
horseman.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, is no sport. When he wants recre-
alton he exchanges one kind of work
for another, and even when at home
in the bosom of his family he is not
wont to indulge in cards or checkers
or chess or any other of the Ngames
commonly resorted to for recitation
and amusement.
Victor Howard Metcalf, the recent
secretary of the navy, is as fotd of
sport as when at Yale he led his poat
crew to victory, but he now fllds
recreation in other ways. Fishing,
hunting and mountain climbing formsd
his chief amusements during his vac-
ton last summer.

FOND OF ATHLETICS
PRESIDENT HAS SET GOOD EXAM
PIE FOR CABINET MEN.
His Fondness for Healthy and Manly
Sports Has Been Contagious
with Advisers-Wilson
Not Sport.

Washington.-Not the least good
that Theodore Roosevelt, as president
of the United States. has done his
countrymen has been to quicken by
precept and example their love and
appreciation Of healthy, athletic and
rSanly sports. AS a hunter, a horse
man, a pedestrian, a tennis player,
boxer, an exponent of jiu jitsu-in
short, a follower of every wholesome
form Of exercise and manner of sport
the president has set an example
that has been contagious and that will
bear. good fruit for many day to
come.
The eight serious and one jocund
4entlemen who stand at all times
ready. If not anxious, to lend their
counsel to the president regarding the
plotting of the ship of state are not
unlike him in respect to their fondness
for athletic recreation.
Secretary Straus, who has had con-
siderable experience in the service of
his country both at home and abroad,
and who is now at the head of the
many-sided department of commerce
an enthusiastic pedestrian. He found
ample opportunity to crafty both his
fishing and walking propensities dur
ing the past summer.
The entire month of August was
spent in the Maine woods, in company
with William Loeb, Jr., secretary to
the president. There, in a little cabin
of logs. which Secretary Straus asserts
cost him the munifcent sum of $3.50,
far from civilization and close to the
heart of nature, where the deer came
curiously up to investigate the in
truders and the brook trout rose
greedily 20 the fly. Sappy party en-
joyed to the full the unconventional
delights of genuine outing. The
camp can be reached only after con-
siderable tramp through the woods, at
that time in the full glory of their
richest foliage. SO that on arrival at
the transformations but hospitable por-
tails the newcomers were in fit mood
to appreciate the dainties spread be-
fore them, dainties typical of the re-
gion and the environment.
The camp possesses every convent
ence that the simple life requires.
and afforded ample accommodation
not only for Secretary Straus. Mrs.

The Rev. Sam Jones greatly disliked

the rash auditor who attempted it
generally met with pretty sharp re-

He was preaching on prosperity.
when little man in the front row
shouted:

The speaker paused and glazing

meteors Add to Earth's Weight.

The meteors which fall upon the
earth in vast numbers every year add
their weight to the earth. Thus the
earth is increasing a minute quantity
In weight each year, but not enough

of years. Except for the escape OF
light gases from the atmosphere there
is no known way in which the earth

Pipino the Brims.

One of the new touches in millinery
is the tiny piping of color put at the
edge of the brim of black hat. This
is run in between the over and under
sides and gives mere line of color
around the face. The hatpins match
it. Uusually it is chosen to carry out
some color scheme in the costume.
