FOR THE IDLE HOURS
NEGLIGEE GARME TENTS HAVE
ELABORATE GARNISHMENT.
Lace In Profusion Is the Distinguish
ing Mark-Combinations of All
Sorts Allowed in Apparel for
Boudoir Wear.

Lace plays as great a part in negli-
gee wear as it does in all other types
of feminine dress. Usually the elab-
crate lace trimming is what strikes
the eye first in modern peignoir or
room sack, and details of foundation
material, ribbons, little silk and chif-
fon flowers and other trimming fallals
make themselves evident afterward.
Though crepe de chine and shadow
lace, with suitable garnishment of
rosebuds, form the most aristocratic
type of sacque or full length negligee,
there are pleasing models of much
less expensive character for the aver
age woman's midsummer wear, such
as is shown in the illustration. Dotted
swiss is combined with lace or with
very fine machine embroidery in hand
effects. Dotted batiste and plated
net, lowered crepe with net frils and
similar summer combinations that n
sees in the seasons wear and as these
lovely little affairs are surprisingly
little-priced no woman need go away
for a weekend visit without a fresh
and becoming garment in her suit
case for idle gossip.
Full length negligees are almost in
variably draped, for drapery just now
seems to be an obsession with femi-
ninity.
Even the humble kimono of ordinary
cotton crepe is likely to be caught up
at the knee under a rosette of ribbon
to convey a suggestion of clinging
drapery, and as for the expensive mod
els Of chiffon, crepe de chine and lace,
clinging is surely the word for their
exquisite lines of grace, produced by
artful but seemingly artless drapery.

HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME
His Dexterity on First Base Surprised
the Youngsters Until They Learn

Gin the American Magazine Hugh S.
Fullerton writes an article entitled
The Making of a Big Lacquer" 1t is
the story of one of the greatest ball
players in the United States as told
by himself to Mr.. Fullerton. This
player was a country boy and, of
curse began to play the game early.
He tells the following story about an
incident of his boyhood:
Father had a hired man named
Ned, a tall, quiet fellow with a pair of
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh, but seldom did. He had been
with us a year. He got drunk peri.
odically, and after each spree father
hunted him up and brought him back
TO work. We asked him to play with
us, and he laughed and said he reck'
oned he would try to play first base il
paw would let him off. l fixed it with
father, and Ned played first %barehand
ed making catches and stops that
filled us with establishment. Also be
made five home runs, two into the
railroad pond and three into the barn
lot back of left field. Walking home
that evening he told me he had played
ball professionally, yet it vas not until
two years later that | learned he once

terrible. / had to be very careful to

OLD NIPSlC IS AN ICEBOX
Warship That Survived Samoa Storm
Turned to Commercial Uses by
Canning Company.

Washington.-Converted into a gi-
gantic floating icebox for salmon, the
old United States cruiser Nipsic lies
off the San Juan islands, near Belling-
ham, Wash, being o a useful piece
of property of a canning company.
The interior of the old warship, which
is of wood, has been made over into
a row of great bins, into which the
salmon, brought from the fishing
ground, are dumped through a long
funnel at the bow and iced. The proc
ess will not freeze the fish, but will
keep them in cold storage until they
can be canned. Frozen fish may be
sold for table use, but are not thought
good for canning.
The Nipsic has had an interesting
history, though never in battle. Bulls
in 1873 at Washington, she was long
attached to the Pacific feet. She wa5
one of the American warships that
were overwhelmed by the hurricans
at Samoa in 1888 with vessels of the
English and German navies. All but
the English cruiser Calliope went
ashore, but the Nipsic fortunately
went on a sandy beach. The crew Of
the Nipsic performed heroic deeds IN
saving seamen from other vessels.
After being hauled off and repaired
the Nipsic became a receiving ship st
Bremerton, and was later turned int3
a prison ship. Last spring she wss
sold as 40 longer of any use to The
navy.

GOOD RESULT OF SUGGESTION
Been Utilized and Found to
Have Real Value.

Richard Mansfield told me that
when he was a lad in London he often
nearly starved. There was a certain
bakeshop where he would go and feast
upon the odors coming from the door.
The boyhood notion gave him the idea
of putting those lines in his play,
Beau Brummel," about dining on
the names of things suggestion
be used with powerful dramatic eff
feet.
This idea of suggestion. has done
many a good deed. About ninety
years ago a thirsty mai walked up
Wall street, understand the habit of
getting a thirst no longer prevails
there, or maybe it is only the manner
of allaying it-and pumped a lineup
full of water from his own well. Not

MAY BE CURLED AT HOME
Not Necessary to Send Piumes to Pro-
fessional Cleaners When They
Become Bedraggled.
MARY DEAN.

The present fashionable ostrich
feather, although it is not SO tightly
curled as the old fashioned plume,
looks even more ~bedraggled and for
lorn when it is out of curl than the
old one did. Yet fogs and mists or
rains are as frequent as ever, and os-
trich feathers are now worn at all
times of the day and night, regardless
of the weather. Plumetis feathers
were put forward to fill the role of a
feather which moisture would not
change, but they do not take the place
of the regulation ostrich feather.
There is only one thing to do If
you wear ostrich feathers, and hat is
to learn how to curl them. II is as
good as impossible to send a feather
to the professional cleaner to be
curled every time there is a summer
shower.
When the moist hat with feather
trimming is removed put it, II pos
sible, neal a fire. Heat often restores
a good deal of the lost curl. When
this is not possible let the feather
dry thoroughly and then recurl 1t with
a nail file, the blunt edge Of a knife
or some other steel or silver blade
which is not sharp.
Work with m or two of the fronds
of the feather at a time. Catch them
between the thumb and the blade near
the stem of the feather and slowly
and firmly draw the thumb and the
blade along the fronds to the edge.
If necessary go ove some OF the feath-
ers twice.
1t is surprising how rapidly this
curling can be done; and IL It is care
fully done after a little practice the
feather will look quite as well as II
