charming "Fragonard and Vatican things"

One of these artists paints always in a

seemed the most appropriate and charming
costume she could possibly wear. But an
other friend. perhaps a Junior by four or
five years. a brunette type with a rather

headdress actually emphasized every wrin-

1t Is stated at the italian lace school
where duplicates Of ancient laces are made,
long lost stitches revived, and where charm
ing models Of coutadina blouscs and scarfs
are for sale, the sale Of Dante" caps has
been OF late receiving a slight impetus.
The Dante cap, so called from the cele-
brated picture OF the meeting Of the poet
and his Beatrice has been for years a ia
vorite headdress of Italian women, who
beneath its close fitting mesh allowed the
long hair to escape in ringlets and braids.

wonderfully sweet and alluring expression.
A Dante" cap has recently been seen at
a tea" the browning touch Of the hostess
who wore with a costume which was a
sort OF sublimated cross between the tea
gown and an artistic n~egligee, lace and
chiffon mingled in an indescribable pot
pourrl of amber-tinted lovliness. The blonde
hair loosely coiffured IN the neck and the
slight pompadour over the brow were
separated by a Dante cap of lace. Not
only the tint OF this special Dante was
duplicated, but the pattern as well, one
used for the entire wedding rousseau Of
an Italian lady Of high birth In the fif-
teenth century.

NEW YORK. April Miss Kitty Cheat
ham at the recent ladies' day at the Lotos
club wore a charming creation OF lace and
rosebuds on her head which was much
admired by the deliberately coiffured and
large hated women present.
Miss Cheatham purchased her cap in
Paris. and she says after rambling about
in the shops OF the French and English
capitals she literally takes off her hat to
don the offering OF the French shops. In
fact. most OF the caps seen in the various
modlstes and millinery departments Of
New York's well known shops are French
in fashion or suggestion.
The Philosopher, who Is always ready
to offer the results Of his knowledge for
publication purposes. states with positive
accents that the cap craze has come
about as a natural sequence to the over
elaborated coiffures. which show no i'm
mediate symptoms Of diminishing, but are

An interesting cap designated by a Fifth

fits closely over the head, fulls up or out,

being inset, The price Of this cap is but
s25, as the lace bit was provided, but a
similar one, duplicated in a fine piece of
Mechlin, has a quoted cost OF $40.

amid more beautiful surroundings than in
the Black Hills around Lead. To make
Lead and the Black Hills an ideal summer
resort the scenery, combined with the
climate, are annually attracting large num-
bers of tourists. pleasure and health seek
ers. The whole United States does not
contain more beautiful railroad or buggy
rides than are to be found along the rail
roads and wagon roads in the Black Hills
around Lead.
Many enthusiasts on the question Of big
game hunting find in the Black Hills a
splendid opportunity to display their Prov
ess. Deer are plentiful. The open season
during which these animals may be killed
is from November Is to December Is.
There is no vacation that I know OF like
this, where you close your desk, pack a
few plain, rough clothes into a canvas
case, travel a few hours in a parlor car,
and then plunge into the heart Of thej
prlmeval forest for a week. or a month, or
a whole summer, according to circum-'
stances. SOM people make an absurd
fuss about the trip and load themselves
up with medicine chests, sleeping bags,
tents, weapons and other impedimenta, for
all the world as though they were going
to the North pole, or central Africa, One
can see the Black Hills best from the
saddle and the Indian trail is the principal
highway. The general impression OF any
particular trail is born rather Of the little
incidents than Of the big accidents. All
that nature has she shows to him who
rides the train. She hides her choice from
the railway, the turnpikes and the lane.
The Indian laid his trail by the conjunction
OF star and mountain peaks. II is never
direct, but always indirect.
Your saddle is your point Of vantage. BY
Il you are elevated above the country and
as your days travel unrolls, you see many
things. Quail scuttle away to right and
left, heads ducked low. Grouse boom SOL
omnly on the rigid limbs OF pines, deer van
ish through distant thickets, 10 appear on
yet more distant ridges. Your senses are
always alert for these things. You are al
ways bending from your saddle 70 examine
the tracks and signs that continually offer
themselves for your inspection and inter-
probation. But the trail OF the mountain
means more than wonder, II means haral
work. There is a lot 70 be seen and en-
joyed I'm a mountain mile. Through the
high country two miles an hour is a fair
rate OF speed. For all the toll the mountain
takes OF a man It gives compensation. deep
sleep. and the communion OF the stars.
OF such Is the trail, or such its wonders,
It's pleasures, its little comforts, its an
noyances. its dangers. or such is the
web and woof OF our little trip. But
through IL ran the pattern OF fantastic
delight such as the west alone can offer.
The trail OF the mountain and the TRAN Of
life alike lead alwayg on and on, into the
higher country Of responsibility until az
the last Il leaves us at the summit OF tho
Great Divide.
