Once more the law makers Of the
United States are assembling at the
seat of government to take up their
legislative labors, and once more they
come back to an improved as we'll as
renovated capitol. If there is any
structure in our broad land that is
maintained in perfect repair-"well
kept up'' In every sense of the term
1t Is the great white domed building
on Capitol hill at Washington.
Uncle sam is never bothered by any
shortage of cash for such betterment
at our legislative factory. 1t is pro-
verbal that whatever may be their
economies in running the general
government, the senators and repre-
sentatives never stint themselves with
reference to those things which make
for their comfort and convenience at
the capitol. AS evidence Of this
policy It need only be cited that the
congressman have in recent years APP
propriated money for more Improve
ments" at the capitol than it has
been possible to carry out in the time
available
Hilu 8InlSf tDTlHSS US, naturally, to
one odd feature of the house cleaning
and improvement work at the capi-
tol. Some years ago it was the prac-
tice to carry on repair work and new
construction at the capitol at all
times, but stop was put to this
when there was an accident in con-
nection with some repair work in the
hall of the house of representatives
that all but cost the life of proni-
nent member. Thereafter, decreed
congress-, all labor of this kind must
be performed during the recess be-
tween sessions.
Now this annual congressional re-
cess naturally varies greatly in differ
ent years. Ordinarily every other year
is a .long session. and every other
year is a Short session." but some
times this program is upset by a
special session, and then again, where
as 1t may be necessary for short
session to end on the 4th of March
there is no similar limit to the con-
tinuance of a long session Well as
1t happens. 1912 was the year for q
long session, but few persons antici-
pated that it would be quite sc
lengthy sitting as it eventually

suffered more from storms on her
inland waters and from foundations
than from the ravages of the seas that
hurl themselves against her oceanic
coasts. The draining of the Zuyder
Zee would remove the chief source of
such danger.
To fully appreciate the import of
the project it is necessary to know
something of the very remarkable
history of this unique body of water
Some 500 years ago there was no such

thing as the Znyder Zee. In those
days the area that is now covered
with water was largely devoted To for
ests and villages and prosperous farms.
The marine element was represented
solely by lake in the heart of the
territory and by several rivers. prin-
cipally the stream Which bore then as
now the name of Yssel. To mar this
placid picture came the disastrous
floods of the Twelfth century. The
overflow was inaugurated on that men1-

journey from the seaboard to certain
parts of Holland which can now be
reached only by a tedious voyage on

HERE AND THERE IN
THE FASHION LAND

Every other day seems to bring to
light some new idea in neckwear cal
culated to charm the lover of pretty
fancies. Try the effect of the corsage
cut in a deeply rounded manner in the
front and filed in with a kerchief OF
soft white mousseline demurely folded
The charm of the notion will appeal to
you just as it did to Marie Antoinette
and the Empress Josephine, who in
their day rang the changes upon fichus
and kerchiefs of the most bewitching
charm.

For the Hostess.

The al fresco meal in summer is the joy
of the modern enthusiast on fresh air.
and hostesses with tree-shaded gardens
are often searching for some novel way
of entertaining their guests out Of doors.
An effective luncheon or dinner may be
arranged beneath a tree by the simple
method of building a circular shelf around
the trunk, which will serve as a table.
Chinese lanterns and appropriate flags
may decorate the tree. Miniature bas-
kets containing flowers can be suspended
from the tree and each guest who 10
asked to take one of these flowers will
find a corresponding bloom at his or her
plate. The shelf should be massed with
floral decorations. such as sweet peas and
appropriate greenery.
If the meal is to be cold lunch, the
hanging basket can be filled with appetiz-
ing sandwiches. stuffed eggs. and other
delicacies. Little baskets of strawberries
with sugar and cream should be found at
each place, and each individual hostess
will use her ingenuity to devise some noy-
city in serving the food she offers to her
guests.
On a hot day the representation of an
old well with an oaken bucket resting on
ice and filled with lemonade will be thor
Oughly appreciated.

OIL MISTAH BUZZARD MAKES FRIENDS.
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

zard. How do you know demanded
Danny Meadow Mouse OF the Merry
Little Breezes.
Because Unc' Billy Possom has known
him for long time and he says SO"
replied the Merry Little Breezes.
''Tll believe it when 1 see Unc' Billy
risking his precious old skin where the
stranger can reach him.. said Danny,
stretching his neck to try to see over
the grass tops.
The Merry Little Breezes clapped
hands joyously. Look right down there
by Farmer Browns old hayrick."
Danny came out where he could see.
Sure enough there was Or Mistah Buzz
zard. large as life, sitting on the hay
rick. and right down below him was
sitting Unc' Billy Possom and the two
were talking and laughing fit to kill
themselves. More than that, old Mrs.
Possom was hurrying up with a broad
little Possom children. When Danny
saw that he made up his mind that
or Mistah Buzzard really was harm
less, and promptly started down to pay
his respects.
One by one all day long the little
meadow and forest people stole over
to pay their respects to or Mistah
Buzzard. They found him all ready to
make friends and SO full of stories that
most Of them stayed to listen.
Late that afternoon when or Mistah
BuzZard sought the dead tree in the
Green Forest to roost for the night Unc'
Billy Possom strolled by that way to see
If his old friend was comfortable. or
Mistah Buzzard looked down at Unc'
Billy and his eyes twinkled.
'Ah reckon said or Mistah Buz-
zard. that yo'All is right, and All sho'ly
am going to stay on the Green Meadows

Evening star., 1912-07-16

Unc' Billy Possom and Jimmy Skunk
tramped through the Green Forest and
over the Green Meadows till their feet
the homes of all the little people who
live there to tell them that the black
stranger who had sailed the skies all
the day before. and frightened most of
them SO that they hardly dared put
their noses outside of their own doors,
was as harmless as Peter Rabbit him.
self. You see. they haA all taken him
for a fierce hawk and had been fright
ened almost to death at the very sight
Of him. And all the time he wasn't a
hawk at all, but just an old friend Of
Unc' Billy Possom, or Mistah Buzz
zard, who had come up from way down
south.
N.Y. exclaimed Inc Billy, as he
stopped to mop his face with red
cotton handkerchief, "Ah didn't know
there were SO many little people on
the Green Meadows and in the Green
Forest"
Just then he spied the Merry Little
Breezes of Old Mother West Wind.
and a happy thought came to him. He
would get them to take his message
around. Why hadn't he thought of 1t
before? OF course. the Merry Little
Breezes were tickled to death. for they
are always looking for something to dc
as they could. while Unc' Billy hurried
back to have chat with OF Mistah
Buzzard.
At first many of the little meadow
people were inclined to be very doubt
full of the harmlessness of Mistah Bug

latest American Fashions

So much is allowed in the way CT sum-
mer evening gowns that it is trihe diff
cult to distinguish between them and ccs-
tunes that are distinctly for daylight.
They must of course. be decollete, but
the decolletage Is rarely expansive. In
fact. there is an obvious inclination to-
ward the neck that is modestly cut out.
although it must be admitted 1t is not so
apt to be generally becoming. The most
popular cut is what perhaps is most clear

A great deal is being done with fowered
niuslins in spite of the fact that silks and
satins are very much 'in.' They are
made up with a plain color, usually a

The fabric is comparatively unimportant.
Everything is msde up. however, with
a view to airiness and sayety of effect.
Black muslins must have foundations of
white or light color. and light colors must
be put with something pretty and con-
trasting. For this reason chiffon, which
at first thought would appear to be quite
out of keeping with muslin, is used for
trimming.

THE SUMMER HAT

There is no happy medium in the
most fashionable hats. If they do not
stand about two feet high from base OF
brim to tip of feather then they disport
their size in width. and the fiat hats of
early summer measure so many inches
In circumference that unless they were
made Of lightweight straws they would
be very burdensome to carry. especially
those wider on one side than the other
They take width both ways. some being
short at front and back and others ex-
aggerated boat shapes.
Such mammoth brims naturally require
full trimmings, SO the feather mount il
usually made to encircle the crown or to
spread across one side and fall over in
Gainsborough fashion.
A favorite shape for this season is the
turn-up sailor, which is SO becoming and
less trying to wear than the boat or new
bowler shape. Navy blue round sailor
hats with outstanding bows of white picot
edged ribbon are among the smartest
things to wear with the navy tailor suit
or with navy frocks of silk or satin.
