So he steps lightly into the l canoe and casts off the rope, reached for the paddle and made just two un- 1 certain strokes, when, To, the canoe ! turned over. and Captain. Jack was waist deep in the lake. After the hrst 1 shock and when he recovered from his astonishment and listened to the roar of laughter from the hotel porch, he said a few funny th.ngs, grabbed the 1 canoe, rghted 1t. and held 1t aloft tili ] the water drained out. Then he said ! A few more things about riding mule, ! grabbed the paddle and did succeed in
 getting into the canoe again, but be-
 fore he could get his balance and make
 stroke he was again in the lake, and just then the artist caught the ! pose as shown in the accompanying

BRAID IS FAVORED
TRIMMING FOR SUITS

In nearly all the new suits the IA
vored trimming is braid. especially the
wide braid. which sometimes forms the
collar, cuffs. and revers, and trims the
skirt so well.
Panels OF braid coming down the front
and back OF the jacket, and continued
in the same way on the skirt, are dis
tincuy the thing.
Narrow braid is also very smart espe-
cially when worked out in ornamental
designs on the skirt and coat.
A touch of color is added by Oriental
embroidery on the collar, sleeves, and
revers. There is merely a hint of this,
and it is not allowed to become too
prominent in the color scheme
Buttons are also very much in eu-
dence. some of them OF the same color
as either the suit or the trimming, or
as both, and some of them silver or
gilt. These latter are quite tiny.
In general, however, the new suits,
except the elaborate satin ones, are
rather plain comparatively little trim
ming OF any sort outside Of braid being
seen.
