sturdy brown khaki as the important
part of their makeup. No material
stands roughing it like khaki and
neither soil, wet nor wrinkles have to
be considered while it is being worn.
for the worse the khaki camp uni
form looks, the more sportsmanlike
and appropriate it seems to look
also. A practical camping rig is pic
tured on the maid who is examining
the contents of fishing basket. Her
skirt, of earth-colored khaki buttons
all the way down the front and has a
wide belt which also buttons securely
at the waistline. At either side of the
skirt are patch pockets with but
toned fiaps-and by the bye, the
woman who does not provide capa-
cious pockets in her camping skirts
will bitterly regret it. The skirt is
rather short falling just over the top
of the stout, but we'll shaped laced
tramping boots which sensibly replace
the dainty buttoned footwear of town.
Under the skirt are bloomers Of tan
colored pongee silk. The rough and
ready shirt is of khaki colored fan
mel. with a tie of red silk to give an
agreeable note of color and the soft
felt hat in pale brown has a red rib
bon band.
Another, practical camp costume
illustrated, shows a hiking rig includ-
ing a short skirt of khaki worn over
laced tramping boots. and a white
knitted sweater with trimmings of
Scotch plaid bands-knitted like the
sweater. A peanut straw hat which
may be bent ny-which-way--a
packed 1at--accompanies this cos
tune. Beneath the sweater, with its
gay plaid bands, is a shirt of tub silk.
A Modish and Practical Climbing
Costume.
The girl equipped for mountain
climbing is very trim and trig in a
coat and skirt of khaki, the neat
Norfolk coat with it's belted waistline
being worn over a blue and white
striped tub silk shirt with an Ascot
scarf to match at the neck. Tan
buttoned boots with low heels have
tan leather puttees strapped over
them and a soft beaver felt hat in
dark brown color completes the cos
tune. The girl who goes climbing
of course dispenses with a petticoat,
which would only catch on projecting
rocks and in brambles, and instead
wears knickers of sateen or mohair.
AS we'll go camping without n
cooking kit as without a sweater.

real camper whose camp will be
pitched away out in the wilds need
concern herself with none of these
fripperies of civilization and will pack
her modest steamer trunk or couple

MYSTERY OF SEA
STILL UNSO[VED
Somewhere on Atlantic Ocean
Abandoned Bark Remit
tent Is Floating.
WHY WAS She DESERTED?
Seaworthy and With Plentiful
Supply OF Provisions, but
Not a Soul on Board.

Newport News, Va, February s.
With sails snugly furled. her lifeboats
in place, and her galley plentifully
supplied with provisions and water,
but with not a living thing aboard, the
Norwegian bark Remittent, which was
last reported as having sailed from Rio
Grande to Liverpool October %, was
picked I'D January in latitude 40 de-
grees 80 minutes and longitude %
degrees 80 minutes. by the British
steamer Roumanian only to be lost
again. according TO a report made here
by Captain Claridge. Of the Rouman-
ian. The Roumanian lowed the vessel
to within a few hundred miles OF the
Virginia Capes to lose her in a storm
when the hawser parted. An attempt
was made to get the bark in tow again,
but after two lifeboats belonging TO
the Roumanian had been smashed. and
their crews barely missed drowning,
the attempt was given up.
The presence of the Remittent. well
provisioned and in a splendid sea-
worthy condition. floating around in
midocean and the possible whereabouts
OF the crew, which was last heard
from three and half months ago. is
a mystery which Captain Claridge can
not even attempt to explain. and one
that. like many others that come up
out OF the sea. may never be solved.
Captain Claridge to-day would have
little to say concerning his adventure
with the mysterious wanderer. either
through superstition of the sea or
chagrin at losing the valuable find al
most at the doors of safe harbor. at
ter wasting several days in towing and
losing two lifeboats. However,
