and white cotton braid or the colored
embroidered trimmings which come
by the yard will make a pretty finish
around neck and sleeves. The romper
may have a narrow band at the neck
or may be cut out in a shallow circle
or square. The sleeves should not
come below the elbow. for this is

pier when free to dig, and dip in water
without cuffs to get damp. The fine
checked ginghams also make pretty
ronpers. Linen, If not too heavy in
weave, may also be used, but few
mothers care to go to the expense of
linen rompers.
A clever little mother who has four
tots to keep clean and happy In a
suburban garden fashions rompers out
of mems discarded shirts. All the
shirts of her husband, brothers and
other near male relatives are pressed
into service as soon as discarded. The
tails of a negligee shirt are usually
strong and unWorn long after the neck
and cuff portions have worn thin and
from these tails the lower part OF the
ronnner is cut, the best bits taken
from sleeves and upper portion going
into the top of the little garment In
this way very satisfactory rompers
for children may be turned out at no
expenditure except Of time.
Some linen and galatea play aprons
are illustrated also. The Kate Green
away sand apron is made of natural
colored linen and is designed for wear
at the beach, the pretty little frock
and petticoats being removed on the
sand under an umbrella before the
play apron is put on. For wading
the loose trouser legs may be rolled
up and, as the photograph shows,
there are no sleeves to get wet, the
armholes being deep and roomy. The
edges of the apron are bound with
blue braid and on the front there is

other women could not resist copy
ing them. This actress wore at Long
champs recently a tawny snuff brown
satin coat, which was cut in a most
peculiar manner. One side of the
coat was in kimono effect, there be-
ing no shoulder or arm seam. The
front and back breadths extended

and both these long seams were out
lined with small covered buttons and
silk cord loops set close together.
Under this snuff brown satin coat
was the most adorable frock of ecru
batiste trimmed with rows of cream
lace and the batiste pulled over cord

hem of bronze velvet and there was
a corresponding touch Of the dark vel

portion of the sleeves. The superb

Is the striking feature OF this beauti-

orbitant price.
Tawny brown is a favorite color for
handsome wraps for wear over smart
afternoon frocks. It is interesting
this revived vogue of brown shades.
Last summer brown was as dead as
a last years fashion magazine. Brown
linens and foulards could be picked
up for a song. Brown in a garment
costing over three figures was unheard
of. But now all the brown shades are
back in high favor and the choice
ranges from buff down through mus
tard, tobacco and wood browns to a
rich, deep seal. It is said that an
English actress who adores brown and
never gives it up whether it is in or
out Of fashion is responsible for its
revival. Her tan and cream frocks

VERY mother would. if she

~ in the case of the quiet child

Gus task. When the business of the

question, for even If the snowy raj

and afternoon, the hard scrubbings

destroy the fabric.

about brown khaki toys, with brown
socks, tie and shoes. But for the
little girl khaki seems somehow in
appropriate. Her play is seldom as
strenuous as the boys and soil rather
than wear and tear are the foes to be
contended with. Bingham, gaIatea,
linen and cotton chambray are all
serviceable materials for play cos
tunes, but if chambray is used plenty
of room should be allowed for shrink
age, as this fabric seems to shrink
almost a third of its length in the
tub.
Several practical and pretty styles
of the Indispensable romper are pic
tured- Blessed be the day-as far
as mothers are concerned-when the
romper came into existence. Prior
to that sweet little girls were made
grotesque and hideous by blue over
alls like their brothers, and before
the overall day was the day of the
checked apron, which was hot and IN
comfortable about the throat and
wrists and did not protect the lower
part of the frock at all. There are
some rompers which may be slipped

grace OF the model, but does not hint

Three cornered chiffon wraps, de-
signed for afternoon wear over dainty
summer frocks are quantity reminis-
cent of the graceful lace shawls worn
in the ffties. The lady of the hfties
could drop her lace wrap from her
shoulders when she desired and allow
it to rest upon the swelling slope of
her crinolined skirt, but the modern
wrap-wearer, If she drops her wrap
from her shoulders, draws 1t in, in
scarf fashion to emphasize the cling
ing effect of her skirts. A woman
at Newport the other afternoon wore
one of these three-cornered wraps
made of black Brussels net with no
trimming save for the five-inch hem
around the three sides. The corners
Of the wrap were weighted with black
silk tassels and the airy little affair
worn over a thin white marQuisette
gown, gave a touch of dignity and dis
tinction which the gown could never
have possessed alone.
Another three-cornered wrap was
noted recently at a casino fete at one
of the summer resorts. This wrap
was of golden brown chiffon printed
with huge, splashing roses in shades
of darker brown with hecks of orange.

shown. This wrap is built of Coro-
nation red chiffon embroidered with
small beads of the same color in
graceful grape-leaf design, the bead
embroidery weighing down tho chif
fon so that the wrap Is very cling
ing and graceful. A broad hem of
red satin gives additional weight at
the foot and the cape collar is also
edged with the red satin, a red and
gold gimp trimming adding brilliancy
to this rich wrap. The cape is weight

tween a circular cape and a sleeved
coat-a very graceful cross. one must
admit, and very cleverly constructed
one, for the chiffon folds fall in ex-
quisite lines from the shoulders and
are confined at the bottom of the
wrap in a shaped hem of velvet which
gives sufficient weight to keep the
chiffon folds in position.

Senator Bristow.

Washington, ID. g., July 1.--Senator
Bristow, who 'gummed up" the resolu-
ton looking to the popular election of
Senators in order to square himself with
the is, 900 negro voters in Kansas, now
proposes to submit to the States both
his resolution, giving control over Sena-
torial elections to the Federal govern
ment. and the House resolution in its
simple form leaving the entire question
to the States. Senator Bristow will
make this move in the Senate next week
il both resolutions are submitted in this
way. 1t is very doubtful If either will
ever be ratified, but Mr. Bristow will
have the satisfaction Of knowing that he
is in good with these is, 600 negroes who
vote in Kansas.
Speaking Of his new move Senator
Bristow said to-day:
i shall move when the conferees re-
port back that they be instructed again
to 60 into conference and report two
resolutions, the plain Borah resolution
as it passed the House, and the Borah-
Bristow resolution which passed the
Senate. Let both these be passed with
the provision that each State Legislature
choose between them, and the one which
receives the necessary endorsements be
enacted into law. =
Democratic Senators 70 whom this
plan was mentioned were not inclined to
think it would be successful.
"Unwieldy," unprecedented and
'assinine" we're some ofthe terms they
used in characterizing it. One Senator
pointed out that if thirteen Southern
States should endorse the Borah resolu-
ton and the remainder of the State the
Borah- -Bristow resolution the necessary
majority would be lacking in both cases
and the legislation would be defeated
1T would be a good way to beat both
the Bristow amendment and direct elec-
ton, /" was his remark.
