Diaphanous Gowns.

Surely there is no prettier picture
than hat made by the young girl of
today in one of the fetching net
frocks. The hard, titht lines of a
few years ago have been banished
by the softer curves which are nov
allowed to assert themselves in the
corsetless, or apparently corsetless,
figure of the 1.-THE young woman Of
these happier days. The SLOUGH,
which threatened to gain a certain
vogue earlier in the season, has for
tunately not become popular, and
the girl who would be considered chic
holds herself erect with a natural
grace suggestive Of perfect health and
a well proportional body. The gown,
whether made of lace, net or chiffon,
is mounted over a foundation of silk
or charmeuse, with a yelling of net
to bring out the design of the lace,
'or, in the case of net, to give a more
airy, diaphanous effect without trans
parency.

No Better.

Herr August Bebel, the late Ger
mar Socialist leader, whose funeral at
Zurich was attended by $4,000 people,
was not a pessimist.
Herr Bebel," said a Chicago So
%cialist, "once denounced pessimism in
my presence. He said that many of
us become pessimists through reading
in newspapers stories about the cor
ruptionists of the entire world. Then,
like little Karl's father, we adopt too
skeptical a view Of modern life.
Little Karl he said, one day
asked:

FASHIONS AND FADS.

Plush and velour are much used for
children's hats.
Marigold yellow is one of the new
colors in Paris.

Wide moire ribbon is being used
for millinery trimmings and sashes.
Rhinestones and other jeweled eff

SILK TAPE ADDS RICHNESS
It's Use Makes All the Difference
When One Is Fashionina
a Handbag.

You have, of course, seen the shoe
string bags-those made with the SIM
pie crochet stitch, you know. They
are serviceable, but no one would care
to assume the responsibility of calling
them beautiful. Suppose, then, that
you were to substitute a soft silk tape
for the wiry shoestring; can you not
picture the richness? True, silk tape
is rather expensive and not always OBJ
tainable, but where there's a will
there's a way" and here is one of the
ways.
If you are acquainted with an un
derweer manufacturer or a friend has
a friend who has another friend who
knows one, see II that manufacturer
will not relax his %iron-bound wholesale
rules and sell you a spool of the all
silk tape that he uses to run through
undervests. And If you can't scrape up
an acquaintance with such a manufac-
turer for the occasion, muster all your
courage to the front and cali upon him

Attractive coat models of the plain.

Attractive coat models of the plain
er class are made up of striped vel
veteen with collar and cuffs of plain
velvet and there are also good looking
practical coats fashioned from wool
velours in plain colors. An example,
shown in one of the small sketches is
in red brown wool velour and has
sasia collar and cuffs. 1t is trimmed
down the front with passementerie
motifs. The slGeves are on the rag
Ian lines and have a draped fullness
at the lower part.
Top coats of dark blue rough ser ge
are extremely modish and are best
when relieved only by black revers
and cuffs. The vivid colors intro
duced upon some models cheaper
their appearance, save when they are
intended for very youthful wearers. A
good looking coat in s~even-eighths
length, Of rough dark blue diagonal
weave, has a shawl collar, cuffs and
buttons Of black ottoman silk. An.
other coat, on Russian smock lines.
without belt, is braided around the
edge. Instead of buttons it is fasten-
ed with tied cords of fiat loose woven
braid run through big embroidered
eyelets.
For rough wear, travelling, motor
ing, etc, cheviots are first choice, and
herringbone effects in monotone, or
twe-toIe effects are considered smar-
ter than more aggressive patterns, al
though plenty of the latter are shown
among the ready made models.
The motor coats this season are
more shapely and less bizarre than
those of earlier years.

Tense and offense of the crippled
Giants. Likewise they had a rushing
attack of the sort that enabled Harry
Whitney's polo team to wallop the
Britishers.
McGraw's team was hopelessly oct
classed. They were outgeneraled and
outwitted by the Mackmen besides
being overwhelmingly outbatted. For
many seasons Matty has been the big
gun of the Giants and he is yet. None
of them measures up with him, and
they need several of Matty's mental
calibre and physical prowess to make
a championship club.

Polite Doctor,

When the baby came to Mary's home
she was told that the doctor brought
it. She thought he kept an unlimited
supply. Mary had been taught that
p%oliteness was n of the greatest
charms a person could possess.
One day the doctor called and said:
Mary, we have a new baby at our
house. Would you like to go with me
to see it?"
Mary was delighted. The baby was
very tiny, only weighing three and a
half pounds. When Mary saw this
frail bit of humanity she turned her

would have been closer.

1t has been said that the Giants are
composed of McGraw, Mathewson and
several others. The first two were the
only big figures in this years dis
appointing strife. McGraw has landed
National League pennants and has
always been the principal factor in
the Giant plan of campaign. He can
tell his men how to do it, a instill
the spirit of fight into them, can spur
them to do their best, but when they
are out there on the field he cannot
think for them and when they are at
the bat he cannot swing for them.

Fifth game, at Polo Grounds-Ath-
Ietics, 8; Giants, 1. 5atteries-Plank
and Schang; Mathewson and Mclean.
The sombre finish of the worlds
series of 1913 came at the Polo
Grounds, New York, when Old Man
Plank, like a ghost stalking out of the
baseball past, cast a spell of mystery
over his pitching and quelled the bat
ting enthusiasm of the Giants, as the
vigilant, crafty Mackmen profited by
New Yorks' witless blunders and
fought their way to another national
championship. The score was 3 to l,
and it was the fourth game out of
five which the Athletics have grasped.
A melancholy assemblage of $4,000
fans watched the tragedy of the
mighty Mathewson slipping back to
defeat when the team cracked behind
him. The Giants failed stupidity to
give the master Slabman the unerring
support which he justly deserved. A
Iurid wild throw by Burns in the first
inning paved the way for the first
run. A foolish fooZle by Larry Doyle,
the Giant captain, and a monstrous
misplay by the Inflated Fred Merkle
in the third inning, made possible the
Athletics two other runs and triumph.
In the crisis when the defense should
have been alright, it opened up wide
and gave Connie Mack's great team a
clear path to victory.
At the end of the game the Giants
we're forgotten by their WI people.
Thousands rushed on the field and
crowded towards the Athletics bench
until the field was a struggling tur-
MOL of frenzied baseball fans paying
tribute to the marvellous Eddie Plank,
who came back when every n said
that his day was owe and pitched one
of the greatest games Of his career.
