CITY AND COUNTRY

IT HE trolley cars are filed evsr,,
evening with hosts of home
"ard bound suburbanites, has
tening away from their daily
"ork IN the city to the quiet of the
countryside. The city dweller looks
at them either enviouslv or Will
whimsical tolerance, but mostly the
latter. He cannot understand whv
anybody should willingly remove from
the radius of "city steam" the bright
lights and paved crossings. The c,tv
spells comfort for him and the SUBJ
uro Is an unexplored wild to be con-
sidered only from the standpoint Of
the comic weekly.
And it is pretty hard for the sinh
urban or country dweller who spends
his days in the city to explain to his
friend just how he feels about it, In
recent publication Louis Untermeyer
does 1t for him in two charming
stanzas that every open air man
should carry in his vest pocket for
purposes of illustration. Even then
the city resident might not under
stand. Anyhow, here they are:
All day with anxious heart and
wondering ear
L listened to the city; heard the
ground
Echo with human thunder, and
the sound
Go reeling down the streets and
disappear.
The headlong hours in their wild
career
Shouted and sang until the world
was drowned
With babel-voices, each one
49, more profound.
All day 1t surged--but nothing
could l hear.
ed so still
The trees and grasses spoke
without a word
To stars that brushed them
with their silvery wings.
Together with the moon | Climbed
And in the very heart OF Silence
The speech and music of i'm
mortal things.

port. Better that than strong

of the majority of the inhabitants.

four other languages among them -
mainly French and Italian.
Public documents and notices are

for nearly all the members understand
both these languages.

The bill authorizes the President of
the United States to appoint three ma
tional highway commissioners to have
full charge of the construction. re-
pairs and maintenance of the road.
They are to serve three years and re-
ceiye $4,000 year each for their
services.
The road follows the route of the
National Old Trails Road and is part
of the system of $4,000 miles Of ma
tional highways proposed by the
National Highways Association. The
Cumberland Road does not touch Mr..
Barnhart's district, but he recognizes,
as Lincoln did, that mo public i'm
provement is SO local as to be of no
general benefit" The rebuilding and
of this road would
not only benefit Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri. but every State in the
Union, those who are back of it assert.

Two Waists Stylish.

The long Russian tunic is repre-
sented under many aliases. Perfectly
delightful was one of chiffon. hemmed
with rose petals and foliage. 1t springs
from a draped sash of pale pink rib
bon, with the upward movement. the
point of which meets the point of the
V-shaped opening at the neck. In an
other gown the fish-wife influence is
seen In the upper portion of the skirt,
whence falls a deep founce or tunic
of accordion -pleated chiffon.
Again, there are the simple ribbon
centuries, accompanied by gathered
tunic Furthermore, there is a decided
vogue for fiounced skirts. with semi
fitting corsages and double waist lines,
the latter effect being accentuated by
sashes.
A furore of admiration has been
aroused by golden hat created by
Lewis, says a Paris correspondent. 1t
is carried out in fine gold lace, the
crown consisting of tiny golden rose
petals on which alighted a superb black
bird of paradise, tipped with gold. In
striking contrast to Il Is chef d'oeuvre
is small toque composed of green
tulle; this material is well nigh con-
cealed from view by bracken, inter-
spersed with white daisies. Surely
nothing could impart more individual
ity. 1t is hat that makes one feel
sure that the woman who wears 1t, in
popular parlance, has something in
her. and is worth cultivating.

PARIS, August 4-Polo gatherings or.
IN fact, any of the afternoon functions
at Deauville and other smart watering
places might almost be appropriately des
'gnated as studies in black and white.
for just at the moment there is a pen
chant for this combination in afternoon
costumes more than for any other. and,
indeed. the fashion is a universally be-
coming one.
The dress of today's sketch is not
difficult one to copy, and if you select a
heavy white Argentine crepe, net lace
I am sure it would not be hard to pro-
duce something equally as smart as the
original. which lately made an appear
ance at Deauville polo meet.
The bodice is quite plain, with its
square neck and extended armhole open

hens The elbow sleeves are tucked and
stitched TO match, and then there are
long guinpe sleeves of net lace, finished
at the wrist with a double ruffie. The
neck has a stand-away collar of batiste.
Over full-length. narrow skirt of the
white crepe. gathered evenly about the
waist. a lace tunic fiounce is applied to
the hip line and given cording and tiny
heading as a finish. There is a second
tunic of black satin. but this only covers
the sides and back of the skirt. II is the

Sugar and Other PIums.

Sugared plums are a winter treat
either as sweetmeats or to stew for
luncheon To make them select large
plums and cut them in two Stone them
and dredge them in powdered sugar. Lay
them on shallow dishes in a moderate
oven for half an hour and then lay
them on sheets of glass TO dry. Pack
and keep in a dry place.
Canned plums should be well washed
before canning. Then they should be
pierced in three or four places, so that
they will keep their shape and not burst
when they are cooked. The needle should
be big and boiled to sterilze it. For
greengages, which are sourer than other
plums. allow three-quarters of a pound
of sugar to pound of fruit. and for
other plums allow half as much sugar as
fruit. Place the fruit and sugar in lay
ers in a preserving kettle and let it
stand overnight In the morning bring
it to the boiling point and can.
Damson and greengage jam is made
with equal parts of damsons and green
cages and with an allowance of a pound
of sugar to pound of fruit Stone the
fruit and add the sugar and just enough
water to dissolve it. Cook until thick
and pack in jars.
An English method of preserving plums
is this: Sterilize some arrowmouthed
bottles and pack them three-quarters full
with firm, clean plums. Put them in
pan of water and bring them to the boil
ing point. Then pour boiling water into
the jars until it comes two or three
inches above the fruit. Pour in olive oil
to the depth of half an inch. Cover and
put the jars where they will be undis-
turbed until needed. Carefully remove
the oil and use the fruit like fresh fruit.
For picked plums put layers Of clean
young. green plums alternately with lay
ers of salt in an earthenware jar. After
four days remove the fruit. drain well
and dry in the sun. turning often, for
three days. Put a net over it to keep
insects and dust out. To each quart of
vinegar needed add tablespoonful of
sugar and an ounce each of white gin
ger allspice, cloves and whole peppers
and a shallot. Simmer for ten minutes,
strain. cool and pour over the fruit

Attractive Trays.

Apolinaris and ginger ale trays are
even more complete and they are very
compact. They have compartments for
holding various sized bottles and glass.
and trays for cigars and cigarettes. They
are strongly built of willow, either in
natural color or painted green or brown,
with solid bottoms. and the coasters used
for holding the glasses are fashioned
from elass-covered cretonne with wicker
rims.
Many conveniences for serving hot and
cold tea, lemonade and the like are ever
In demand. Portable tea wagons on
wheels are ever growing in popularity,
as are the two-tiered trays mounted on
wicker stand. Muffin stands are now al
most a necessity, and they come in at
tractive wicker shapes, stained to match
the tea table. There are numberless work
stands 700. which may be folded and put
away when out of use. but which are
light enough to carry about.
Every piazza is made more attractive
by the decorative note of hanging bas-
kets filled with ferns or vines, whose cool
green is so refreshing to the eye. The
shape and size of such baskets are mani
fold, and each SO attractive in its way
that it is hard to choose between them.
However. care should be taken to select
those which are substantially made, for
the weight of the plant is apt to make
the basket sag or tear its meshes. For
number of plants wicker flower stands
are most appropriate and many artistic
effects may be produced by their proper
arrangement
