LATEST TIPS AS TO STYLE
New Things That Have Been OBJ
served Recently and That Are
of Real Importance.

The cartwheel hat is the very lat
est thing in millinery and offers an
agreeable variety from the eternal
small hat of the summer. The new
cartwheel has a wide brim extending
straight out from a rather low, conf
cal crown, and both brim and crown
are covered with velvet or silk. These
hats, in black velvet, have huge white
begonias posed against the crown in
front.
Creased skirts are an odd whimsey
of fashion this summer. The wide
circular tunics of linen, worn over mar.
row, straight skirts, are ironed in
creases from belt to hem, which gives
the tunic ribbed effect suggestive of
plating. Pussy willow silk tunics al
so take to this creased idea admira-
bly,. TUNES of serge or mohair-
which is very fashionable this season
are harder to crease satisfactorily.
Sheer blouses of white organdie are
made novel and interesting by buttons
of silver or gilt. Naturally such but
tons do not launder successfully, and
they must be rubbed up now and then
to keep them bright and sparkling.
They do not require SO secure sewing
on, however as the button that is real
ly used for a fastening, for the mod
ern blouse or bodice is provided with
concealed snap-fasteners, which are
more easily and quickly manipulated
than either buttons or hooks and eyes,
With the white tailleur worn for
yachting, white buttoned boots Of
buckskin are considered more correct
than pumps. On board the yacht the
high-heeled buttoned shoes may be ex-
changed for rubber-soled deck shoes,
but these are not correct for shore
wear.

he explained. Things were nasty.
Besides, could not think Of anything
but meeting mother. Do you think
she will be in soon?"
Merry pulled out his watch. Julie,
it is half-past six. Run upstairs again
and see If Miss Paget has come in.
Remember, not word about the sur
prise for her."
The child returned In q few minutes.
"She has just come in"
oh" cried Julie, there's ice cream.
You have not had any ice cream"
Il am not hungry. I want to go to
my mother. You see have been
thinking about my mother for years
and years.
do you remember herr" asked
Merry.
Robin hesitated. Aunt Fannie says
I can't because was a little baby
when she went away. Think re-
member her"
Come with me-" said Merry.
Don't you believe that had better
take him?" said Dorcas. Miss Paget
may have begun to dress"
Merry nodded.
Am spick and span?" asked Robin
anxiously. aunt Fannie said mother
is beautiful and elegant and famous.
I want her to see that l am nice
enough to be her little boy"
Dorcas dropped on her knees be
side him. She united the small bow
at his collar and made it into fresh
knot why. you will be her pride
and joy"
There was look of tense anxiety in
the child's face. do you think SO
really? I am more trouble than little
boys who-can see. can't dress my
self all over, and can't part my hair
straight. I can't always find things,
Sometimes" Robins voice dropped to
whisper, sometimes I'm scared
when I'm alone; / get afraid on the
streets If they are noisy"
Dorcas laid her face against the
soft cheek and whispered something
In the child's ear. Robins face shone
with Joy. 81 am glad you think SO
There is just one thing" his voice
had a regretful tone In it, 'I wish you
had been my mother, like YOU"
The girl held him out at arms
length for mome0t. Il am wishing
the same thing. like you'll"
He took her hand and they climbed
the stair which led to the upstairs
dressing-room. Dorcas felt an un
spoken terror. She looked back from
the head of the stairs. Merry stood
watching them. She beckoned him
and he followed with a few springing
steps. They paused for moment out
side the door of Miss Paget's room
When Dorcas tapped, Robin was cling
ing to her hand with grip which al
most hurt.
Zilla Paget stared at them with still
curiosity. She sat in front of the mir
ror while the colored maid Emiline
brushed her hair. 1t hung to her waist
in long, shining waves. Her forehead
wrinkled for a moment as II in per
plexity. She could not see Robins
face. He was hiding behind Dorcas

The curtain fell. Dorcas had reached
her dressing-room when she had to
turn and fly back to the stage. The
applause had grown to tumult. Zilla
Paget stood by her side when the cur
tain rose. She was smiling a stage
smile upon the audience, but the
glance she turned upon Dorcas was
one OF malignant hatred.

FriE cipai Kelley this morning

the fatalities incurred in hunting,
baseball and football during the past
year in the United States. One
hundred and thirty-five killed while
hunting: thirty-five deaths are laid
at the door OF baseball, and thirteen
are attributed to football. How many
parents are opposed to their soma 60
ing hunting? Very few. How many
parents arc opposed to their sons
paying baseball because Of the dan.
ger incurred? None. And then,
how many object strenuously to foot
ball, game which migures not more
than one-tenth as dangerous as hunt
ing and one-third as dangerous IS
baseball. The =. H. s. football elev-
en- was materially, weakened during
the past season because parental OBJ
jections necessitated the excluding of

cases do these fond parents refuse to
permit their sons to go hunting and
none object to baseball Football
