Versions of Old Styles.

1t is really astonishing with what per-
sstence the creators of dress present US
with versions of past styles SO utterly
impracticable to the conditions OF modern
life. Draperies and Celebrations belong
essentially to the age of leisure, and on.
can hardly call our age anything APP
preaching leisure, although it may be an
age of luxury.
But the form our luxurious incinations
take is in rushing about from one end of
the world to the other. and the frocks
which are designed at present belong to
that period of eighteenth century gran
deur when the slow-moving Sedan chair
was the stately method of locomotion,
and when time could be spared to spend
a whole morning at ones couture and
toilet.
After all, perhaps the protest against
panniers and fiounces is more or less a
storm in a teacup.
Women. for the most part. wear what
they like and where they can afford to
indulge their taste in the latest sensation
of the moment il matters little. 4 gown

few times. and I'm spite of fashions man.
date there is always some RESPONSIVENESS
in certain prevailing styles. We live In a
time of emancipation and freedom from
restraint. and if it .please us to don the
artistic tunic and sandals OF the simple
life We are quite at liberty to create our
own individual styles.

for the f1ouncinge are so handsome and
effective in themselves. Tunic effects are
the favorites and though only a few pam
nier models have invaded the lingerie
frOck field thus far, there is no telling
what may come by August. One often
sees a tunic of lingerie over q hem of
dark chiffon and there is a sash match
ing this black or colored hem. which
gives the tub frock a slightly more for
NAL suggestion for occasions like bridge,
country club receptions and the like.
Many of the creamy embroidered voiles
are mounted over very pale shade OF
being of soft satin with satin sash
matching the petticoat. The combina-
ton of white and pale lavender is always
dainty and cool in summer, and for some
reason or other this pale lavender, used
with the lingerie costume, is particularly
chic just now.
One of the frocks is made with tunic
Of lingerie falling over an underskirt OF
pale lavender. There is a sash of laven-
der silk tied in a fiat bow at the back
and long sash ends At the front the CIR
die is ornamented with a bunch of laven-
der roses. The hat. which accompanies
the frock. is of white and lavender. The
top Of the hat is Of white straw faced
with lavender silk.
The second frock is made on the pan
nier line. The model is made of batiste
embroidered by hand and trimmed with
Venetian and fine shadow lace. Loops Of
cerise velvet ribbon trim the skirt at the
side fronts. and cerise velvet ribbon forms
the girdle which fastens directly at the
front with large loops.

when finer laces are added. it is usually
in the shape of entire deux-to set off the
richer trimming.
F'lowered organizes are again fashion
able, though as yet they are seen only in
high-class circles, and some of the dress
makers are turning out midsummer
frocks of delicately Powered organizes
and of quaint. sprigged dimities that are
certain to be much in demand by mid
summer.

Another frock equally as dainty is
shown in white organdie, decorated SO
thicxly with small clusters of pink flow
ers that a very little of the white ground
is visible. There Is a touch of black velvet
ribbon at the neck and sleeves. and a
girdle of black velvet is fastened at the
back with a fiat how and long sash fall

MARQUARD HAS HARD

Honus Wagner is the hardest batter

Cerman bats better against McGraw's

scribe comments on this fact "a fol-

would be the softest job Imaginable
for Hans Wagner if he had no other
pitcher but RUDE Marquard to face.

Marquard particularly easy. No mat

wagner topped his previous per-
recently by pounding the
Rube tor a single, a double, a triple
n a home run. While this was his
best batting of the year against Mar
guard. it was by no means the first
time he had hit the New York star
unusually hard. 1t is a fact that Wag-
ner would have had a batting average
of better than 800 for the year against
Marquard even if his singles were left
out and only his extra base hits were
counted.
"Honus has faced the Rube 23 times
n made seven hits for extra bases,
which would give an average Of .304.
In all Hans has made 12 hits in %
times at bat while facing Maruuard in
six games this year. which means the

three triples and three home runs, so
that his IL safeties have totaled no

wall of Forbes Field. Wagner's other
homer against the RUDE was made in
