WHEN THE HOUSE IS CLOSED.

THERE is a lot more to closing the
house for the summer OF for a
very small part Of the summer than
shutting and locking the windows and
front door. The greatest cause for
worry perhaps is the danger Of moth
eaten carpets and rugs. Long before
the time comes 10 close the house for
the summer presumably all heavy
hangings and moth tempting dainties
of other sorts have been packed safely
away, but the rugs and carpets remain
an easy prey.
Camphor sprinkled loosely about is
generally carelessly trampled into the
carpets and floors. Il can be wrapped
in little pieces OF tissue paper. and
these small bundles can be generously
thrown into dark corners and cram

as uncovered camphor and much more
easily swept up when the house is
opened again.
Il is a good plan to leave a key to the

The Vanity Corner

THE complexion is a matter that
should not be left TO take care OF
itself when one travels. One OF the
very important things to remember 10
to beware of depending upon such
soaps as are provided by the hotels or
the friends you are visiting. These
may be above reproach as far as good
ness is concerned. but they may not
suit your needs as well as those you
are accustomed to use at home.
Water in which one washes the race
and hands is another essential that
should not be overlooked when ION the
road" At different stopping places
the water may be hard or soft or
braclSish. and all these conditions need
the beneficial influence OF benzoin.

ingredient to prevent roughening tho

face too often when travelling. Rather
take leaf from one OF the little books
Of French powder papers to be found

should not be applied too often.

exceedingly practical camping costume

before the hill climb. The skirt is of
khaki cloth and buttons all the way

is patch pocket with buttoned flap.
And, by the way, insist upon having

The New "piCturc
Hat"

The picture hat is taking its re-
venge. All last winter and far into
the spring of this year 1t was pushed
into the background by pert little
jam pots and caricatures of Indian
turbanS. The picture hat was out Of
favor. Those who continued to wear
it were smiled at as out of date; dress
experts asserted that We should not
see a revival of the wide brimmed
hat for several seasons to come.
But those who really understand
the fashions Of Paris-more than that.
who understand something of the
ways Of the Parisiennes-never
doubted the early return of the big
hat, weighed down with rich feathers
or lovely flowers. Its coming might
be delayed a little. but il was certain
to arrive nevertheless. And it has
arrived.
Once again there are seen genuine
picture hats, large and small; such
hats as might have graced the beau
ties depicted by the old masters.
This is essentially lace year Wide
lace hounCes are getting more and
more fashionable. They will be in
high favor for casino wear These lace
dresses, arranged in three or four
tiers, are exceedingly becoming:
more than that, they are full of ar
tistic charm, Painters through all
the ages have raved about supple
draperies of lace or fragile gauze.

The Tango Arrives in Time
To Stir JQdcd paris Nerves"
By La Raconteuse.

US all by declaring: Il love tango
above anything else in this world, and
find it absolutely chaste when it is
danced by a Spaniard or a South
American. Frenchmen will never
learn to dance il properly"
Mile Cecile Sorel, of the Come
die Franchise" says she does not
know nor want to know the tango,
for there is only one kind of dance,
that which is taught by Isadora Dun
can, which arOuses in my soul i'm
ages of the highest beauty"
Andre deFOuquieres says tango is
a sad, melancholy dance which will
never lastingly appeal 10 the lively
animated French people.
He thinks IL should be limited to
the stage. II can be danced very
correctly; on the other hand it is LA
bic not to be.
Its unsuitability for the drawing
room comes also from the fact that
it is not a gay and convivial dance
and pretty like the Russian polka or
the Polish polka. Il am a partisan
Of the old dances" says NJ. de Fou-
quieres, and at certain evening par
ties l have danced the Empire dances.
One must have tradition, especially a
nation like France, famous for her
chivalry and politeness.

Many a meal Jessie Wilson has
eaten at the uncovered tables of the

whit better than the people who sur
rounded her.
Roast beef, fried potatoes, tomato

daughter want more? And she didn't
want more So when it was more
convenient to at eat the restaurant
than with Mr.. and Mrs r. Porter

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s.-Per-
sonal pulchritude and unusually
smart habiliments, heightened by a
bachelors button and an ingratiating
manner, failed to win for Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt,
in his appeal to the jury of women
which tried Mrs. Bertha J. Williams
on an extortion charge to-day After
celebrating one hour and IS min
utes, the jury, the first in the his
tory of the world composed of wom-
en- to hear a felony case, brought
in a verdict of acquittal
"Of course she said she did what
she did, but we didn't think when she
said she did it, she meant she had
meant to do it," said one of the jury
women.
Hence, Mrs. Williams, attired in a
fetching Milan hat and a neat white
serge tailored suit, much scrutinized
by the jurywomen, made discreet os-
culatory advances to her benefactors,
and the incident was closed.
Mrs. Annette Robinson, also ar
mored in attractive feminine fixings,
was the complaining witness in the
case. She accused Mrs. Williams of
having written her a letter April s,
attempting to extort $3.50 in return
for the delivery of a trunk said to
have contained certain evidence
which, according to the letter, would
have embarrassed Mrs. Robinson, had
it fallen into the hands of the po-
lice.

PARIS, July 19.-Personally I am
quite unable to understand why the
tango's merits and dement's should
continue to interest Parisians. But it
is an undeniable fact that the Argen-
tine rationale dance, which. by the
way. is repudiated by the Argentine
legation, still remains the subject Of
most heated discussions in the salons
and everywhere
The exotic dance was fortunate in
arriving here at a time when we were
practically at our wits end for a new
subject Of conversation. Society found
what 1t wanted the very moment the
chief of police forbade the tango to
be danced in public, and now tango
has reached the heights Of its popu-
larity. 1t may even survive this
dreadfully hot summer It IS dis
