severely tailored, mannishly trim girl
has utterly gone out of fashion and
in her stead is the delicately feminine
maiden, all bushes, timidity and
f1uttering ribbons-ribbons which begin
with the bow on the slipper so clever
ly fashioned that it looks small, to the
handle of the parasol which shades her
face from the suns kisses. And sun
shades are of prime Importance this
year. There must be one for every
frock, so say the powers at Paris, and
consequently the sojourners at Mar
ragansett, Magnolia, Newport and the
fashionable resorts between Watch
Hill and Bar Harbor are adding to
their outfits parasols of linen, pongee,
taffeta, satin and lace to accord with
any costume likely to be worn be-
tween breakfast and dinner time.
Some of these sun shades are trimmed
exclusively with ribbon rosettes. 9TH
ers carry clusters OF silk flowers and
a great many have wonderful handles
of rare wood encrusted with silver or
gold and jewel set which need no en-
bellishing.
Because the shape of the hat is of
chief importance and whatever trim
ming it bears a mere detail, women
who are obliged to stretch their dress
allowance to the breaking point are
making use of the adjustable hat
trimmings. These consist of huge
bows and wide bands of ribbon, of
flowers made into wreaths and crowns
and of plumes tackled to invisible
wires, any of which may be secured
with fancy pins to the hats of extra
ordinary proportions which are the
vogue of the moment
Not to have a scarf to match every
toilette designed for street or evening
use is to argue ones self too poor to
buy one or too indolent to make one.
When it is remembered that these
most fascinating accessories may be
evolved from a few yards of crepe de
chine, messaline, chiffon or liberty silk
and that thye may be finished with
narrow ribbon, hemstitching or hand
embroidery it seems as though the
woman who neglects to provide her
self with several deserves to contract
a summer cold due to an unprotected
neck.
Half sister to the scarf Is the little
shoulder cape of silk lined chiffon,
charming accessories for the summer
silk frock or the dainty lingerie dress
of the marquise type. This garment
reaches midway to the waist at the
back, covers the tops of the arms and
in front has long tabs which knot in

A SCIENTIFIC PROBLEM

In the center of the garden, on a
pedestal, stood a large glass globe. AS
the guests sauntered about after dinner
one of them, happening to touch it,
discovered to mis- amazement that it
was warmer on the shady side than on
the side facing the sun.
An argument Immediately sprang up,
and in the course of the debate the
phenomenon was attributed to the law
of reflection or that of repulsion, or
something equally formidable.
II don't know what ye be a-talkin'
about" remarked the old gardener.

scarf manner and fall almost to the
knees. 1t is an ideal wrap for sum-
mer afternoons drive or to repel the
draughts which lurk in seaside
churches as well as in country club
ball rooms. Equally light of weight
and yet affording a certain amount of
protection are the coats of marquis
ette, silk voile, chiffon or lace which
are worn with all manner of afternoon
gowns, but are especially smart with
lingerie dresses of ar elaborate order.
While the full length coat is favored
because it affords the fashionably
slender lines, all the. other types are
being made up, not excepting the eton,
of which every member of the present
generation is thoroughly weary.

There are two old gentlemen living
just beyond the city line who are
chicken fanciers, each jealous of the

"Turpentine," replied the other,

to be impossible
NOT long ago a lawyer went to the residence
OF one Of the associate justices of the Supreme
court married man and one who the lawyer
thought was the staidest of the stad. The Wis.
ttor had gone to see the justice to get some ad-
vice on behalf of person who he know was a
family friend Of the one of whom he was seeking
advisory help.
1t seems that the mans wife had died. and
while the husband was a kindly DISPOSED and
most excellent man generally, his father-inIaw
and 'mother-in-law insisted on taking the chill
dren who had been left motherless. THE wild
over did not want to part with his children and
neither did he want to make fight which
would bring the children into Public notice and
show that he had had breach with his wifes
father and mother
The lawyer who was calling on the iustce
said What would you do if your father-n-law
and notner-inlaw your wifes death tried to
get your children away from you?" The answer
came quick and sharp, I'D tell them to 60 to the
devil"
Now it happened that the Justices wife was
sitting at his elbow and the lawyer at tits strong
from the judicial minded one looked
with trepdation at Mrs. Justice, expecting to
see her overcome with modification at her hus-
bands outbreak. The visitor was relieved and
also somewhat surprised when Mrs Justice said,
I'd tell them to go to the devil, too"
The household court being thus unanimous
he lawyer went away and gave advice to his
,lient and the presumption is that within day
IT two the father-in-law and motherin-law went
