At the present moment the charm
OF the costume depends on the little
things
White organdie is everywhere in
collars and blouse~ and girls white
dresses.
There is nothing like the dark silk
kimonos, very plainly made. for trav-

Dolly Warden bonne's are trimmed
with roses and blue ribbon streamers
Long belied redingotes are really
here-close-fitting garments with set

In Paris fur is being worn on lace
hate-and the effect is not odd. but
delightful.
Silver and gold embroidered lace
and tulle trimmed with fur and velvet
are already seen.
Although the new skirts are much
fuller the materials are clinging and
often transparent.
Lightcolored taffeta dresses bounced
with lace are appropriate for garden
party wear.
The cotton crepes and seersuckers
used for children's dresses permit a
great economy in laundry work.
The vogue OF garish and eccentric
colors is about over. to judge by the
furore for black and dark colors.
English eyelet embroidery is revived
for lingerie dresses. Usually they
have colored silk slips below.

~ CORA HARRIS.

EDITOR OF THE SUN: am now living In
my cabin In the valley which Ia guarded by
the orphan star at night. This star in
sures my safety from all harm that could
only come from within to any person living
here. There are no robbers, no evil men
or women--only the ghost Of the Chero-
kee Indian chief who built this cabin and
who Is reported to walk sometimes upon
stormy nights. I have not been able to
secure a proper description OF this ghost
although upon more than one occasion he
Is said to have leaped from the forest
which borders the road on one side and
mounted behind upon the horse Of lonely
traveller after nightfall II the night Is
especially stormy and dreary.
The horse at once beoanes unmanago-
able, the human rider is tossed off and
the only vision he has of the ghost Is a
tremendous dark figure with feathers In
his hair and long legs which nearly touch
the ground as the horse gallops of. No
man in the valley has ever seen the face
OF this ghost. But there Is no doub'
about his existence. More than a dozen
young blades returning from courtship adj
ventures have been left sprawl!ng In the
valley road as he flies away upon theii
gathering steed. which must be searche
for sometimes for days before II is found
as wild as II II had never worn saddle OF
bride.
Now a mere orphan star does not AFFORD
sufficient protection from this ghost. Il T.

dalton. For all one knows this star may
be inhabited by the departed shades OF
indian warriors. II may be the Happy

appears. and while am not avorse to
