A drill was set up in the basement of

were drilled through hundreds of pieces
of marble Of varying sizes. In the mean

order contracted with a badge manu-

the time they arrived the bits of marble
were completed and various members
set to work assembling them. The huge

PLEASED AT TRIALS
English Sportsmen's View of
Olympic Games TryoutS.
WITNESSED BY 10000
Critics Say There Is Revival OF In
terest in Track Athletics.
Corresncndcnce az the Associated Press.

GORE pondcncc Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, Juno /, 1912.
British sportsmen are greatly pleased
over the success of the Olympic games
tryouts held at Stamford Bridge.
This elation was not due so much
TO the records which in the main
were not startling but because the games
were marked by a large entry list. and
were attended by 10000 spectators. In
striking contrast 10 the meager entries
and attendance of the tryouts which pre-
coded the 1905 Olympiad Critics declare
that there has been real revival of in
terest in track and field sports. and while
they are still hopeless of seeing the Union
Jack flying at Stockholm in a majority
of the events. they feel that the British
team will make good showing.
In the sprints and middle distances sew
eral good records were made. notably the
time of Seedhouse in the 400 meters. He
covered the distance In 40 Is seconds.
thereby equaling Hillman's Olympic rec
ord II the Blackheath Harrier can i'm
prove his finishing qualities he will be
the man the American quarter milers
will have to beat at Stockholm.
If John Paul Jones of Cornell does not
appear as member of the American
team the English runners may have a
chance of breaking the tape in the half
and mile runs. as the records made in
these events compare favorabiy with the
. best American performances over these
distances. Mann of the Polytechnic
~Ifarriers took the half and Cottrill of the
100 meters, the distance closest to the
mile.

COMBINE BLACK AND VIOLET
Mixture of colors That the Expert Dressmaker Uses to Much
 Advantage.

Dress Is most alluring this season, and there is such variety in style that not only every taste but every indi. vidual figure can be suited. Black and violet as regards dress for recep. tion and every afternoon wear is a fashionable alliance, and we note it principally in taffetas and satin cos tunes, while with the black cloth or eponge tailor-made a blouse of bright velvet charmeuse and guipure inser- tion yelled with black ninon de soie is fitting accompaniment.
 The mauve foulard with black or mauve ninon overskirt is being ex- plotted with success, as is the pannier coat costume of black and deep purple Liberty satin.
 A charming model of this style has the coat gathered at the waist, with belt coming high in front and made of exquisite black, purple and ecru embroidery. This continues in band form on either side of the coat fronts, while the bodice portion is arranged in wide pleats, and the pearl-shaped sleeves reach only a little way below the elbow.

Americans Great Users
 Of Mineral Beverages
Nearly 7O,0OO,OOO Gallons Sold During
 the Year of 1911.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 16--In 1911 67.527, ,S22 gallons of mineral waters were sold in the United States, yalu- ed at $7,S75,373. Of this large amount 63,923.119 gallons, valued at $6,S37.- SSS, were of domestic production, and 3,604,703 gallons, valued at s1,- CS7 ,4S5, were imported. The average price of the domestic water at the springs was 10.7 cents a gallon and that of the imported water was POS cents gallon, to which must be ada ed for the imported water freight, commissions, and import duty.
 The domestic production in 1911 compared with that in 1910 showed an increase of 1,S92,994 gallons and $4S0,29S in value. The product in 1911 was devired from 732 springs. New York State led in the quantity of water sold, with 10,245,2 ,261 gall Ions, bringing an average price of 9 cents gallon, or total value of $939,O03 but Wisconsin, with an out put of 5,716,162 gallons, produced the greatest value, namely $955, ,98S, or an average of 17 cents gallon.
 The highest average price received in any State was in Indiana--60 cents a gallon-the production being 1,OS4,42S gallons. The high price was due to the medical reputation of the waters. Maine received an aver age of s4 cents a gallon and produced 1,254 ,79S. The lowest average price received were in Minnesota and Ok~ lahoma-S cents, a gallon-the pro duction of Minnesota being s,7o3,a1s gallons. second only to that of New York.

Now the "Jupe PantaIon."

The latest thing in tailormades Is the <jupe pantalon' It has little in common with the "jupe culotte," or harem skirt, except that that gave us the bottom of the trousers. and the "jupe pantalon" gives us the top of the same garments. It is a skirt with a series of little close gatherings at the waist. These are confined by small buckles similar to the one used on mans trousers. At each side of the skirt is a pocket, and in order to com. plete the resemblance to masculine wearing apparel, braces fastened by buttons back and front hold up the skirt. With this garment is worn shirt of white percale, perfectly flat and plain, with long sleeves, wristlets and high stiff collar, in fact a mans shirt in all it's unadorned severity The wearers of the "jupe pantalon" costume when sitting around their clubs. smoking cigarettes, look at first sight like men in their shirt sleeves.

AVOID THE C0LORED FROCK
Average Woman Will Make No Mis- take When She Pins Her Faith
 to White Material.

The woman of limited income should not be tempted by colored linen frocks. They are not wise investment when gowns must neces- sarily be few. in number. They are almost sure to fade, and even while they possess all their original glory they cannot be touched up and varied by colored cravat and belt, as the white outfit can. Such Is the imper- ishable beauty of white that even the inexpensive material known as sail cloth, which can be bought for about 30 cents yard, can be made to look smarter than the average colored lin- en. Those venturing upon costumes of sail-cloth should, however, to make assurance doubly sure, see that the material has been we'll shrunk before it Is made up.

Here is quite an inexpensive dress of old rose easement cloth. The skirt has seam up center front and is trimmed with fold of black satin and row of black buttons with sim ulated holes.
 The bodice, which is cut Magyar, is tucked each side front and back, also on the sleeves; it fastens in front, where 1t is trimmed like the skirt. The collar is of the material finely tucked, and black bow finishes the neck.

CoIIarless Frocks.

The girl who realizes how ex- tremely becoming the collarless frock has proved to be will be glad to learn of its continued popularity.
 For this reason the high-neck ruff. fles and ruches of tulle, chiffon and taffeta, with their small clusters of flowers set. at intervals around the collar, will be worn when furs are dis carded and 1t is necessary to have some protection.
 If one chooses to wear a collar band, it must be unusually high. In models from Paris the high collars are shaped to follow the outline of the hair back of the ears.
 The little pleated frill, so dear to the French woman, makes soft be- coming line around the face.

The corsage Bouquet.

The corsage bouquet is one of the prettfest fancies in dress ornamental ton. On special occasions. when one wishes the austerely tailor-built cos tune to take on a glorified and festal air, modish flower arrangement pinned to the coat front will work a very pretty miracle The most fash ionable of these artificial posies is a combination of orchids with lilies of the valley, or, if the bouquet is Of violets or roses. sprays Of lily of the valley must be tucked in.

Plush for Winter Hats.

Hatters' plush is expected to be used on many of the new fall hats. and beaver cloth will doubtless be seen on the tailored hat. This cloth will probably be popular with the busi- ness women, as it wears so well, and hat of beaver looks trim and neat to wear with a tailored suit. Dresden taffeta will be much used for trim. mlngs, especially in the way of large bows.

For the small Boy.

One of the prettiest novelties this season is the suit of brown linen for small boys. These are embroidered with silk to match. Sailcloth is a practical material; 1t launders well. holding its color. For warm weather these are made with knickerbockers and tunic tops caught about the waist with belt. Dark blue sailcloth linen with collars and cuffs of white is an- other pretty combination.
