would make the checks scarlet or il
would cause the chin to look cOngest-

pink like the peach blossom are the
hues to be worn by the woman who
has a slight flush IN her checks, OF who
can get one without too much exer-

The most girlish flush is obtained by
rubbing a tiny bit Of cracked ice wrap

A sMART SIZING COsrUME.

Little girls are wearing a great
many coats and dresses to match this
season and here is a costume that "
attractive In the extreme. 1t is made
Of fine French serge and trimmed
with dotted silk. The sailor collar is
very generally becoming and is in the
height of style and the skirt com
bines box plaits with side plaits in
way to produce a novel effect. The
materials illustrated are fashionable
and serviceable. but such a costume
as this one can be varied in many
ways The dress could be OF cashmere
or pongee or Of any similar material
with the coat OF serge or broadcloth
and the collar can be Of the same or
of plain silk. or treated in any way
that may suit the fancy. Braid as
trimming is much liked and the coat
made OF serge or other cloth with
collar OF the same and the entire coat
edged with wide braid would be ex-
ceedingly handsome and make a SER
viceable wrap for general wear. The
dress is a simple one with tucked
blouse and plain sleeves. Later such
a costume as this could be made OF
pongee or linen with excellent re-
suits and white linen with trimming
of color will be much worn: colored
linon is charming braided with white
and various other combinations can
be made. If a collarless coat IS liked
this one can be finished as shown in
the small front view. The cut-awav

The Flag Of Stripes and Stars

When from the lands Of tyranny
Oppressed their people fee,
They find a refuge in our land,
The country Of the free.
They know the flag waves over IT.
All tyranny debars,
The symbol of true freedom Is
Our flag Of Stripes and Stars.
It represents a nation.
And it Is our nations pride;
1t represents fair liberty,
For which our father died.
-Tis lov'd by all our heroes bold,
The veterans of our wars,
Who fought it's glory 10 uphold,
Our flag Is Stripes and Stars
%, many a gallant hero
It has been his winding sheet;
Since first unfolded to the breeze
It never knew defeat.
For Freedoms God did it protect
In Just and righteous wars,
And victory always did attend
Our flag Of Stripes and Stars.
Mark with what wild enthusiasm
We hail its silken folds,
Whenever flung unto the breeze
It our attention holds.
The ringing cheer and salvo shot
From our brave Yankee tars,
Show how we'd with our lives defenS
Our flag Of Stripes and Stars.
No prouder flag there's under Heaven
More pure or more free;
Injustice never sullied It
Nor demon tyranny.
Then cheer It, boys, and faunt th'

That tyranny debars;
Long may It fly unsoiled and pure,

delightfully."- simple task this summer.
If IL is a plain semi-fitted three-quar-

permissible.

Even coat of two years ago with
fitted back or added skirt piece at the

Quently, however, in the case Of a silk
Jacket or the coat Of a plain white
linen suit II is worth while to make
over the coat. and to buy or have
made a new skirt or shirtwaist dress
to wear with Il.
Eton coats this year are all some
what elaborate, ornamented with
fancy braid, or on the linen coats, GRO
chet lace. Sleeves are generally short
ON a narrow mandarin pattern, some
times with deep cuffs. Braid OF cro-
chet buttons also play an important
part In the trimming of short Jackets.

DON'T Take Cold When

The simple matter OF washing ones

moment
We have all been told that it Is
dangerous 20 wash ones hair at night
Yet neary every woman who is busy

This is the worst possible time to
choose for such a task. The body is
exhausted after a trying days work
and is more open TO attack from any
cold germ that may he floating about.
Overcome with fatigue, one is ma
turally careless about drying the hair,
so one invariably goes to bed without
its being thoroughly done. And here
is where the danger lies.

that a gasolene washing is productive
of brilliant and glossy locks and q

hears Of women everywhere plunging
their heads recklessly into basins OF
gasolene.
II may be a beneficial thing for the
looks, though some consider II too
drying to be healthful. since IL burns
up all the natural oil Of the scalp. but
the gasolene washing should never
under any circumstances be given by
any one but an expert hairdresser and

pull off the greatest Erher's battle of
the season. Who described the greatest
honors is a matter of opinion for from
an unbiased point of view ii would be
hard to decide. Bombay was pitching
against a team that has not distin-
guished itself with the stick this sea-
son, though recognized as heady and
dangerous outfit while Barrow had to
deal with the best slugging team of
the league and one of the fastest on

sheet shows that Bombay allowed but
three hits, one a two Dagger, struck
out three men, hit one, walked three
and was charged with one wild pitch
and one error. Barrow allowed five
safe hits, one a two ba gger, struck out
four, and walked one. Those interested
may make out of these records more
honors for one or the other, but the
