UNIQUE DEFINITION OF SPORT
Amusing Essay in "Life" Mentions
Baseball, Football, Poker and
Matrimony-Usedt to Kill Time.

A recent number of Life contains a
short essay on Sport" which was writ
ten in fun and which is readable on
that account. 1t is as followed:
Sport is divided into many kinds.
Among other things may be mentioned
baseball, football, poker and matri-
mony. Sport is founded on a struggle
of some sort. That is the reason why
kissing is not sport, because it is al
most always sure thing. Buying and
selling in Wall street Is not a sport,
for the same reason" (The writer
don't differentiate between these and
poker, which he classes as sport. 1t
has always been a dead sure thing
for most of u.s..
Sport supports a great many diff
ferent institutions. Among others may
be mentioned excursion trains, race
tracks, gambling hells and colleges"
There are two kinds of sports.
namely, indoor and outdoor. Outdoor
sports include church picnics, automo-
billing, areoplaning and summer love
making. Indoor sports include roulette,
bridge, turkey trotting and house
cleaning. A man who stays home anu
helps his wife clean house is not only
sport, but a martyr and hero COM
bined."
Sport was invented to divert the
mind-when there were minds. Now It
it is used to kill time and produce
gate receipts"
This sort of stuff is diverting, read
ers will admit, but the last line has
"kick' in it that is serious. Sport Is
getting altogether too commercial.

single pearl of brilliant lustre, and
her fingers were encircled with rings.
Lane sprang into the sea and offered
her his hand; when she took it he
saw that it was the hand of a lady
who had never done any manual work
in her life.

did not know that wall of heaped up

land from the sands entertainments.
That was their stumbling block; be-
fore they could regain their feet and
ascertain how the land lay Lane and
his charge had gained the level road
and were running toward the cottage
under the hill.
The shouting died away. They had
eluded their pursurers. Once In MS
own demense, Lane felt that the girl
was safe, and anger replaced Gu
riosity. He had been made to run as
though he had been schoolboy
stealing fruit. The one servant whom
he kept in this little waterside retreat
of his was away for the afternoon and
there was no human habitation with
in a mile or more. He was alone with
this strange young woman from the
SEA, dramatically alone with her, and
feeling uncommonly perturbed and
foolish. She, meanwhile, calmly took off
her veil. When Lane turned toward
her he found himself face to face with
young woman of not more than two
or three and twenty years. She
was beautiful-but that was the least
of her charms. There was on her
face an expression of high breeding,
of dignity, something of hauteur, but
everything that was altogether fine.
She smiled as he gazed frankly into
her eyes; her own scrutiny of him
seemed to have been equally satisfac-
tory.
IF you will pardon me, Madem-
oiselle," said Lane, Il will get my

She sat down, laughing. "Robbers!"
she exclaimed. That officer, Mon

Austrian navy"

another, and a pillar of smoke rose
out of the steamships sides. Then,
even as Lane watched, he saw that
one of the boats was lowered at last;
and the fog descended again.
1t was incredible that such an cpl.
sode could occur off the Long Island
shore. Where were the warships
of the United States, to avenge her
outraged majesty? Had war broken
out, and was this warship one of a
hostile battle fleet already engaged in
running the shipping of the country
and devastating her ports? Lane
stood peering out through the blank
mists, vainly endeavoring to pene-
trate the mystery.
He must have stood there fully five
minutes when he heard the FLASHING of
oars, the shout of voices, challeng-
ing cries. Then the sharp crack of
of rifle whipped the air, and through
the opacity of the fog a boats nose
bore in toward the land and the keel
grated upon the sandy bottom. Two

ball Captain Last Season.

OF the 1900 undergraduates in
Princeton university, only A have the
privilege of wearing the varsity ath-
letic P, according to statistics pub
lished there by the local athletic asso-
citation. AS freshmen are not allowed
to compete on any varsity team there
and as a large number of students
are excluded for various other rea-
sons, the statistics show that Prince
ton has only 900 men from which to
draw candidates for her 16 varsity
teams, and this number is cut down
further by a rule which prevents a
student from being member of more
than two teams in the same year.
The distinction of having received
the varsity letter more times than
any other man in college is borne by
Talbot T. Pendleton of Berkeley

Details of Mem FrOckS More
Interesting Than Design

From the point Of view of novelty the
details of the new costumes are more
interesting than the main features of cut
and design. 1t is because of this great
variety and charm of detail, in addition
TO the novel fabrics and colors used, that
the afternoon gown has been raised this
spring to a level of the greatest impor-
lance
One is forced to return to the subject
of fabrics again and again this year, be
cause of the fascinating textures and de-
signs that are constantly being intro
duced. The new weave OF taffeta is as
supple as crepe meteor. Yet it retains a
mere hint of its former crisp assurance;
lust enough to make il invaluable for GER
tain effects.
Comparatively little of the new supple
taffeta has been imported by the regular
shops. More of it is found at the eXclu-
sive places which supply the fashionable
dressmakers. 1t is especially desirable in
soft, inconspicuous plaids for simple
house dresses. For more dressy gowns
these same supple taffetas come in dark
tints, with flowers or other designs in
colors, printed at wide intervals.
Tribute to Designer.
It was a curious experience to listen
to the comments at a recent promenade
DIES toilettes'' in one of the department
stores Women of all sorts and condi-
tions sat and stood in serried ranks along
the borders of the raised platforms where
the mannequins paraded. And the una
nimity with which they picked out GER
tain model as the chief object of their
admiration was as striking a proof OF
their own intuitive appreciation of genu-
inc artistry as il was a tribute to the
work of the great designer.
The model was an afternoon gown or
softly shimmering silk crepe in beauti-
full shade of brown. There was no trim
ming except a triangle of cream lace in
the front of the corsage, narrow belt
of the material, embroidered in dull
green and yellow, and two long, sim
ilary embroidered bands which hung
from the waistline in the back and
caught up the corners of what had been
a square train. turning them upward in
revers. so as to leave the train pointed
one. The skirt drapery was complicated
but extremely graceful. The whole ef-
feet was given simply by the artistic
employment of color. fabric and lines.
Yet apparently every woman who saw
it appreciated what had been achieved.
This intricacy is found in some of the
blouses which are so persistently de-

WRISTBANDS ARE
AGAIN TO THE FORE

Hail the old-fa shioned wristban6, It's
in again. Very much so, and you're not
strictly up to date if you don't possess
at least one specimen. These bands.
which take the place Of bracelets, but
are much daintier, consist of strips Of
inch-wide velvet ribbon long enough to go
once about the>wrist. On the upper side
of the arm the strip of velvet is secured
by a pair of inch-square or inch-long OBJ
long clasps Of engraved gold, hammered
silver, or carved ivory. That is to say,
the simpler sort of wristbands are thus
clasped. The more expensive kind are
made of platinum or of gold or silver
thickly incrusted with tiny Jewels or gems
or set with a single large jewel or gem,
by others of much smaller
size. Frequently several kinds Of Jewels
ornament a pair of wristband clasps. and
again a single diamond or pearl IL i'm
bedded in t!Ie center of square precious
metal.
1t is POSSIBLE to have a pair of the
large, old-fash ioned cameo or coral ear
rings made over into wristband clasps.
and although in former days a single
bracelet band Of this type was rarely
worn, nowadays it is commonly seen.
Mary women who have inherited collec-
ton of old-fashioned ornaments are hav-
Ing them made over into bracelet clasps
and usually the task is neither difficult
nor expensive.

TO HALF.HOLIDAYS
Question Is Discussed at Meeting.
Other Changes Are Being =
Considered.

The Cabinet took up the matter Of ex-
tending the Saturday half-holiday period
from three 10 five months at a meeting
yesterday. While no definite action was
taken, II was informally announced at
the end of the session that the Cabinet
was in favor of the proposition. The
matter will be taken up for further con-
sderation in the near future.
One proposition that was advanced was
the addition of a half hour to the first
FIVE working days OF the week. so as to
make up for the time lost by the half
day on Saturday. A general scheme of
shortening working hours was also dis
cussed. The practicability Of having the
clerks report at $50 o'clock in the morn
ing and giving them corresponding
amount Of time of in the afternoon was
considered.
President Wilson is in favor OF the prof.
ect, it is said. providing all the men,
bers of the Cabinet will give their con-
sent, and he can be assured that Satur-
day half holidays during five months in
the year will not lessen the efficiency
of the various departments.
