viii be a practical change from the
eternal wearing OF white waists and
skirts
Bingham requires little trimming
always an advantage in a style Of
dress that is intended solely for prac-
teal purposes. A collar with narrow
cuffs Of baby Irish lace bordered by
narrow band of plain colored lawn
adorned with the fashionable French
knots is ample trimming on a blouse
waist, and the skirt may be quite plain
or be finished with a deep border OF
solid color lawn or linen. Bands of
plain color on figured or striped ma
terial is still popular mode Of trim
ming and is especially noticeable
among the frocks made of summer
fabrics
In some Of the new striped ging-
hams the material about the waist,
hips and yoke is simply folded over on
itself in such a way as to form bands
Of plain color, the white between the
colOred stripes being hidden beneath
the creases. To make the effect still
more finished the folds should be all
held down by rows of good-sized
French knots
HANDMADE TUCKs.
There is no comparison between
the effect of a gown trimmed with
hand tucks or pleats and one machine
sewed Just a touch Of real lace also
viii make q far handsomer costume
than yards of imitation lace or en-
broidery. Among the ready-to-wear
garments in the shops there are, of
course, many marvelously effective
gowns well worth the buying, even
though machine sewed, but the woman
who makes or designs her own simple
gowns will do well to expend the
small extra time necessary in hang
trimming. Naturally the seams and
al stitching that will not show is
firmer done by machine but that is
all.
A particularly fetching frock Is
shown in the first illustration This
is a combination of gray figured fou-
lard and garnet messaline. The mes
saline matched in color the small fig
ure in the foulard. a touch of black
velvet ribbon added note of charac-
Ter TO the waist. The turic of this
rock presents what has become the
favored outline Of the season. 1t will
De remembered that last years tun-
les were most popular when made
with q point on each side. The shap-
ing on the model here illustrated has
supplanted this former style and bids
fair TO outrank it in popularity.

WOLFE Is POPULAR

Wolfe and the many fashionable
crepe and gauze fabrics are, in many
instances, made over white instead of
colored Innings, while the white mater
falls have often lining of some affec-
tive shade as the fashionable cerlse,
cherry red, Natter blue, helfotrope or
deep canary yellow. The over-grown
is generally held up to show its foun-
dalton, but upon the over-dress or
tunic the trimming is now lavished in
stead Of upon the underskirt, as was
the case last year.
Many extremely pretty morning
gowns are made of sheer white wolfe
with a hairline stripe or a small polka
dot of white. This wolfe being softer
than a starched material stays clean
better and does not wrinkle and
'muss" so quickly as linen or muslin,
and it is for these reasons that it is
now being made up in the simplest as
well as the most elaborate summer cos
tunes. Wolfe can be made on found
dalton of lawn or China silk, but many
Of the morning gowns are made up
without foundation, depending upon the
Princess slips that must be provided
in large number nowadays to wear I'M
der all summer frocks.

ABOUT SAM LLOYD
Noted Puzzle Maker Was In
ventor of the Famous
pigs in Glover"
AMASsED LARGE FORTUNE
He Set Problems That Taxed the In
genuity OF the World for Two
Genefations.

Sam Lloyd, the puzzle man, whose
puzzles have taxed the minds of the
whole world for almost two genera
tons, died recently at his home in
Brooklyn. He had made a fortune
out of his puzzles and died a very
wealthy man
It was as the ',p1zzle king" that
Sam Lloyd was best known, but be-
sides being a puzzle maker he was an
artist of some ability, an inventor Of
mechanical devices, writer, a chess
player of great proficiency and a pro-
found mathematician. BIS ability in
the latter field was at the bottom of
much Of his success as a puzzle
maker.
He was born In Philadelphia in 1S41
of an old Quaker family and at the
age OF ten was playing chess with
some Of the cracks Of the country and
often beating them. First he studied
engineering, and then he studied math-
ematics and languages at Heidelberg.
But all the while he was making puz-
zles for his own amusement and to
perplex his friends. When he was
twenty-five years old he became a
professional puzzle maker, conducting
a puzzle department in various news
papers for many years thereafter and
spreading his fame to the far corners
Of the earth.

this year the fashion has been revived

Most Famous Puzzles.

Most Famous Puzzles.
The two most famous puzzles in
vented by Sam Lloyd were pigs In
clover and the fifteen puzzle. his
puzzles were divided into two general
classes-namely, those requiring man
ual dexterity and those requiring
mental dexterity. Many folks through
out the world got the pigs into the
right place at the expense Of their
nervous systems, but nobody ever
solved. the fifteen puzzle. It had oc-
CURED to Lloyd while trying an old
Hindu puzzle of the magic square.
Famous mathematician sought to
work it out all over the world, but
their solutions never came right, ac-
cording to it's author. Mr.. Lloyd after
ward said that he never made any
money out of his fifteen block puzzle
because he was unable to have 1t
copyrighted, nor did he out OF the
"nigs IN clover" One store alone
sold 100000 sets of his block puzzle
when the craze was on.
The puzzle out OF which this inventor
of brain twisters made the most mon
ey was the donkey puzzle, in which
the object was to put two Jockeys on
the backs of two donkeys. This ne
patented and sold in large quantities.
The facility with which his brain could
turn out puzzles OF such kind as to
battle the keenest mind and give half
the world headaches was shown when
he turned out the pony puzzle. 1t was
turned out in response to bet made
by a governor of Pennsylvania while
returning on the same steamer from
Europe with the puzzle maker in 1868.
The governor had challenged Lloyd to
produce a new puzzle before the pas
sengers in the smoking room. Lloyd
took a pencil, drew pony and cut him
I'D into three pieces. The pony was
gaIloping before he cut 1t up, but the
thing was to make it gallop afterward.
The governor offered a reward then for
anybody to solve it on the voyage, but
nobody did and not many afterward.
Invaded England.
P. T. Barnum heard of this puzzle
and ordered 100000 for advertising
use. The Snowman Travelled around
with the solution in his pocket, as he
could not remember it overnight, he
said. In the end 1,Oo0,O0O.OO0 copies
of the puzzle were sold. This and some
of the others netted him a great deal
of money, which he shrewdly invested
In real estate and in good securities,
with the result that he amassed large
fortune Shortly after turning out the
disappearing Chinaman" he went to
Europe and introduced his puzzles to
the English newspapers. Immediately
all England started to work over them.
Hundreds of chess problems were
turned out by Sam Lloyd, whose first
prize for a maker Of these was taken
when he was eleven years old. He was
the author of "Chess Strategy" one Of
the most popular works on the game.
Turning to the mechanical field, he in
vented such puzzles as the chair puz-
zle and the star puzzle, almost impos-
sible of solution
