is all trimmed with lace, some of it
deliberately.
Crepe de chine petticoats are ideal
because of their light weight and
elinging softness. They are generally
finished at the bottom with a plated
f1ounce of wide lace. Some of them
show an insertion of lace five or six
inches wide and hem of the crepe
below the insertion The more elab-
crate petticoats are trimmed with rib
bon and chiffon rosettes and tiny arti-
fetal flowers.
Some of the combinations and
chemises of crepe de chine are sim
ply made, and these are especially
serviceable. For the woman who is
travelling they are boon indeed, but
they can be worn without ironing
Hung up damp, their own weight
smooths them from wrinkles.

SADDLE-sHAPED PARTY BAGS
Designs Seem to Have Every Conve-
nlence for Woman Who Has
Short Trip in View.

Precisely on the same lines as are
the familiar saddle purses but Of
much more substantial materials are
the newest party bags. The strip of
heavily corded silk or wool satin or
velvet, yard long by twenty-five
inches wide, is first lined with "coat-
ing" satin or with channels skin, then
doubled, seam bound with kid and fin
ished at either square end with a
deep band of kid. Bands of the same
pelt face the pocket openings which
are at the inside center of the strip
as in the case of the small purses, but
unlike those change bags, have flaps
which fasten with a loop and a but
ton. The two rings which close the
affair and serve as handles, are Of
jade, amber or metal in bracelet size
and they slide back far enough to ad'
nit the slippers, which have an en-
tire end to themselves, and the fan,
hairpins, handkerchiefs, gloves and
vanity box which go into the remain
ing compartment.

NEW IDEA IN TOURIST HATS
Water-Proofed Silk the Foundation
for Really Becoming Style of
Headgear.

From London, naturally enough,
comes the latest model in tourist hats.
1t is an affair of water-proofed silk
having rounded crown and two
inch broad brim, both sections close
ly machine stitched In circling rows.
Midway of each side of that hat is
slit extending from the outer edge to
the brim to the lower edge of the
crown and along one side of each slit
extends a row of tiny buttonholes
which fit over buttons attached to the
side of the crown. By this means
one-half the brim may be fastened fiat
ly upward about the crown, leaving
the remaining half to shield the brow
and the tips of the ears. AS the brim
of hats of this sort invariably is faced
with color contrasting strongly with
the outer side of the headgear, the
effect OF the two shades is exceedingly
smart Especially good are the hats
in gun-metal or taupe water-proofed
silk faced with high blue, cerise or
Irish green and although originally
designed for tourists they are smart
for golfing and general wear in the
country.

him by the near leg and lunging him
forward.
In this position the attacker strad-
dies and sits on the near leg of the
defensive wrestler above the knee.
He feints for the further foot or his
opponent. When the defensive wrest-
Ter shifts to protect his other foot,
the near one may be grasped quickly
and raised up over the attackers leg.
This plunges the head of the defen-
sive wrestler forward on his face. IL
brings his weight 20 bear on his own
imprisoned leg in such way as TO
make him share In the leverage that
is exerted by the completed hold.
"The imprisoned leg should be
drawn up as high as possible to give
the longest leverage, in which posi-
ton it is possible for small man to
hold a giant. This works on the same
principle as the handle of pump.
There seems a movement In some
quarters to bar the toe hold in cham

mourn it's loss if the grip has to go,

Rouen Harrington and Grant are a

opponents, however, with other grips.
in grasping the foot to pull it
over the leg, the attacker should
catch 1t just below the toes. The at

the defensive wrestler was off his
guard.

Quantities of lace are used upon

One of our best known astronomers
was talking about the difficulties and
intricacies that astronomy presents to
the lay mind.
For instance he said, there is the
story of the meteorite that fell on an
Essex (England) farm a year ago
1t was a valuable meteorite and the
landlord claimed it atsonce.
All minerals and metals on the
land belong to me- he said. That's
in the lease
But the tenant demurTed This
meteorite, he said, wasn't on the
farm, you must remember, when the
lease was drawn up
This was certainly poser, but the
landlord was equal to the occasion, for
he promutly retorted; Well, then, j
claim it as flying game
But the tenant was ready for him.
It's got neither wings nor feathers
he said. Therefore as ground game
it is mine
How long they would have con-
tinued their argument l cannot say,
cor at that moment revenue officer
came up and proceeded to take pos
session of the meteorite. Because

Not every wearer of tan shoes may
ing dark colored when they become
damp. The secret is to have the shoes
thoroughly polished before wearing
them. The polish acts as a coating
and prevents the moisture getting into
and discoloring the leather. OF course.
in time, tan shoes will change color,
but the day of this discoloration may
be postponed by expert shoe cleaners.
They will give the shoes scrub, as
they call it. The operation takes
some little time Shoes so treated,

The bank of England notes are sim

The notes of the bank of France
are made of white water-lined paper,
printed in black and white, with nu-

South American notes resemble
those of our own country, except that
cinnamon brown and slate blue are
the prevailing colors.
German notes are printed in green
