So many practical patterns are shown
these days, IL is an easy matter to
make them yourself. By all means
have one of those hideous little Shak-
er bonnets and the inevitable veil The
changeable wells of blue and green
are really lovely and are made by
hemming together a length Of blue
and a length of green chiffon. Any
one can do it in spite of the high
prices in the shops.
Have a serge trouser-slirt OF bloom
er-skirt for mountain climbing; add
snug little serge Bton jacket. Be
liberal In your supply of swagger
tailored shirt waists for all sports
and outings. Linen suits are also
indispensable and plenty of simple
lawn house dresses for the hot midday
hours. Foulards and crepons, china
silk and crepe, bengaline and poplin
are useful for cool afternoon wear. A
trout-fishing suit of khaki will appeal
TO the men Of your party, but do the
whole thing, have high tan boots,
leather belt and tan felt cowboy hat
If you are a genuine sport, this cos
tune will be found invaluable for
cunning, and all geological and botan-
ical expeditions. For horseback rid
ing gray or tan linen is the thing.
Wear very high boots and very long
coat reaching to the ankles, cut so
as to fall like a circular skirt on each
side of the horse-every one rides
astride today. The. masters refuse
even to teach any other way. A
small sailor hat and buckskin gloves,
and tailored waist with mannish col
lar and tie complete this equestrienne
rig. For golf, tennis or croquet, mid
dy suits are still the rage, wrought in
many new notifications with hand
embroidered emblems.
Fall fashions give every evidence Of
a combination Of two materials in the
one costume. The dress first ilustrat-
ed was developed of brown messaline
with the collar, cuffs and lower Sec
tion Of skirt of brown and white
striped messaline, the upper part of
the collar having been made Of heavy
all-over cream lace.
After the many days of warm wealth
er we have to look forward to the
fall days, which will soon be here, and
then to prepare princess dress SINH
lar to the one in the illustration, made
of some lightweight; for instance,
voile, serge, henrietta, panama, or
brilliantine The one shown below
was made Of black voile with trim
mings of lace banding and pipings
Of messaline.
For the garden fete, the hotel dance,
the piazza cotillion, there are innum-
cradle patterns Of dear little baby
dresses" very like the quaint Green
away children pictured for our de-
light many years ago. Flowered Or
candies. figured lawns. white gowns,
all show the semi-empire model;
there are cute little round, square OF
V necks; short sleeves, high waist
and simple skirts make the dancers
appear cunning and petite Great
variety is shown in the use Of sashes,
girdles, cordilieres, head-bands, roset-
tes, etc. Girls are carrying fancy

NEW YORK, Aug. 12-Of course
you are going in an automobile. So
provide firstly, one of those long
loose sensible coatsl The linen and
lpongee ones are most popular, but

An Old Timer.


Turtles are one OF few kinds OF an
Imals that live longer than men do.
They look their age too. A turtle that
had a date mark on him, though not
the date Of his arrival in the world,
was found a few days ago in New
York, not far from Poughkeepsie. where
the boat races are held on the Hudson
river In the early summer The turtle,
which was a land tortoise, was found
by David B. Sleight. who lives on the
farm where his father lived for many
years. On the turtles back. but IN the
hard shell, Mr. Sleight found his IA
theirs initials. A. ". S.. and the date

Uncut Books.

'Uncuts." said the book dealer. -are
books with uncut edges. They origi-
mated in Scotland. In Scotland. in the
past. q man would enter your shop TO-
day. read a chapter Of some book OF
other and saunter out without buying
anything. Tomorrow he would read
another chapter gratis. and by the end
Of the month he would have finished
the volume and be well into another.

A DALI. Silver Set.

A set of silver for the dolls dress
ing table can be made from tinfoil. so
1t is a good plan to save all the tinfOil
that comes around candy. etc. and
smooth it out nicely. You may make a
mirror for the drawing room or the
dolls boudoir Of the tinfoil with a bor-
der Of gold paper. Cut out piece OF
cardboard in any shape you desire
and then cover 1t with tinfoil. The gilt
border should not be plain. but should
be cut into ornamental corners or used

A Rathtub hY the sea.

A few miles below Delmar. Cal,
there may be seen in a rocky ledge a
peculiar basin cut out Of solid rock.
1t measures 8 by feet and it's depth
is about Eve feet. At high tide the
basin is filled; at low. It and the sur
rounding rock ledge are laid bare.
Above the basin are cutters. which al
low the escape OF surplus waters. IL
is supposed that the bath was used by
the Indians IN early times and that
they heated the sea water by means
Of heated stones. II Is not improbable
that the sick redskins obtained relief
from skin diseases and other ills by
baths in the hot salt water OF this pc
culiar basin.
1t is quite well made and shapely
and would have been very convenient
for such a purpose.

Hattie Enjoying
Her Daily Bath.

Elephants, as most young people
know. are very fond Of bathing, and
IN their native jungles frequently seek
the rivers and lakes to enjoy a water
frolic. Down at Coney Island the
pachyderms take a swim in the surf
and greatly enjoy buffeting the salt
pillows. When bathing at the beach
the huge beasts are accompanied by
trainers. who sit on their necks and
guide them from the water when their
time is up. This is necessary. for they
are show animals and must be In their
places when the performance begins.
II left TO themselves they would prob
ably forget all about their engage
ments. The elephant in the picture is
Hattie, the famous performing ele-
phant in the Central Park zoo. The
photographer caught her as she was
getting her daily bath from hose.
Her expression shows she is enjoying
It hugely.

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
A FASHIONABLE ,o,,.,,

Afternoon gowns are being made in
simple style and many of them show
striped materials. This one gives a
charming and even dressy effect, yet
It means very little labor for the
making. The blouse is of the peas
ant style, meaning very few seams to
sew up, but it includes under-arm
cores that are extended into the
sleeves and which mean freedom and
relief from strain. In this case It Is
made with a little square yoke and
worn with a lace collar, but the col
lar does not make a portion OF the
model. Undersleeves are simple
strips of lace attached beneath the
trimming. The skirt is four gored, the
edges in front and back being over
lapped and trimmed with buttons al
ter an altogether attractive manner.
II can be made either with a high or
natural waist line. II the natural
waist line is more becoming the skirt
could be finished with a belt and
worn either with a girdle or sash or
ribbon or of silk. Such sashes, sim
DIV finished with a once over knot at
the left side, are extremely fashion
able, and many of them are edged
with fringe. With such an addition
the gown would become distinctly
more elaborate in effect.
For a woman Of medium size the
waist will require IA yards Of ma
terial 81, 1 "a yards SO or IA yards
"A inches wide, with 3-S yard OF all
over lace for the chemisette, rs yard
of lace for the under sleevs; for the
skirt will be needed 5 3-S yards ~
yards SO, yards A inches wide
when material has figure. or nap, but
when material has no up and down,
s IA yards SO or 2 "a yards "A in
ches wide will suffice.
A May Manton pattern Of the waist,
No. 1850, in sizes from "a to A bust,
or of the skirt pattern No. 6S9s, sizes

Presence Of Mind.

1t was the annual concert of the
Slowcombe Philharmonic society, and
the young man who came from the
city was obviously bored.
At last one singer tried him more
than usual. Lines of pain showed on
his face as he leaned forward to ex-
press himself audibly to his elderly
neighbor; for the young man, being
musical, felt the need of sympathy.
Did you ever hear, in the whole
course of your existence" he whis-
pered, in disgust, such horribly dis
cordant, ear-splitting-"
The old gentleman frowned.
That's my daughter, sir, and If
But. the young man waved aside the
interruption, and, with scarcely a
tremor went on:
"Such ear-splitting clatter as these
idiots behind us are making? Really,
l can scarcely catch one word of the
song!"-Answers.

TRAGEDIES of the Home.

The daily press is burdened with
stories of rich men seeking to get rid
of their wives in order to marry some
affinity Can such separations bring
happiness? Pride and self-restraint
generally prevent such questions from
being answered. Occasionally the
veil is lifted, and one is allowed to
see branded on an anguished heart the
pitiful epitaph of murdered love. Ma
poleon probably saw few happy days
he certainly saw few successful
ones-after he sacrificed Josephine on
the altar of his ambition, and the Ne
mesis which the conqueror of Europe
could not escape is not to be evaded
by the mere millionaire. The true
wife, cast aside for the sake of some
fleeting infatuation, has more than
once come to the rescue of the faith
less husband when fortune has gone
against him, and such wife has
proved, time and time again, the YER
ity of the old rhyme:
The world is cold. inhuman,
Will spurn thee in thy fail;
The love Of one true woman
Is worth the smiles of ALL
