mistake Of copying too slavishly for

The stage is q splendid place 70
study modes. Actresses. as q rule,
know how to dress. But what must
be considered Is that gowns for the

play. Discerning actresses know
this. because It Is one Of the impor.

There is good reason for this

SHARPNESS IN TEA GOWNS
Costumers Are Giving Particular At
tention to These Useful and
Pretty Garments.

A topic of interest pertains to tea
gowns, for in these days such a gar
ment is often relied upon in place of
the smart gowns. Considerable
amount of favor is still accorded the
separate coat idea. At one atelier re-
nowned for it's original tea gowns
these coats are being fashioned of
some wonderful metal brocade ninon,
rather barbaric in colOring, the edges
hemmed with ostrich feather trim
ming or marabou. A glorious scheme
of coloring was in shades of orange
or flame, the whole scintillating with
interviewer threads Of gold And this
was destined to be worn with clinging
under draperies Of deeply tinted lace,
lightly drawn to the figure by a deep
sash Of rainbow coloring formed Of
different colored ribbons folded with
apparent carelessness over one an
other
Another, equally unusual was car
ried out in shades of mandarin blue,
which possibly suggested the some

Again, there are tea gowns of more
shapely character, more what is
known as the reception gown, and
therefore quite suitable to wear at a
quiet house party dinner. A charming
model is arranged in ivory charmeuse
and the finest lace in slightly deeper
tone of ivory, the high draped waist
sash, with broad effective bow in
front, and the little handmade roses

Keeping Flowers With Sugar.

Two professors of the School of Ag-
E1culture at Rennes, France, have made
some interesting experiments in pro-
longing the lives of cut flowers. One
hundred different flowers were used in
the experiments, and it was found that
sugar helped to keep most of them
fresh. but was positively injurious to
gilies and sweet peas. It FASTENED the
opening of roses and orchids, but did
not thus affect tulips, daisies or chrys-
anthemums.
Experiments were made with small
quantities of choral, ether, glycerin,
alcohol, limewater and ammonia salts,
each Of which served to lengthen the
life of various flowers. Some of the
flowers kept in sugar and water lived
four times as long as they ordinarily
would.
The sugar does not have an exactly
equal effect on the different flowers it
preserves. Carnations seem to like a

What War Has Ernunht.

Thousands of cameras and moving
picture machines were confiscated in
Germany when war was declared.
This resulted in hundreds of Ameri-
cans being deprived of innumerable
snapshots of an entirely innocent
character. But the Germans knew no
exceptions. They were taking no
chances. Sketches by artists, espe-
cially landscapes, were seized. No
eampstool with legs that would I'M
screw was permitted to go through
The lines. These stools, by the way,
equipped with hollow legs so brushes
can be handily carried about in them,
have always been regarded with sus-
Dicion. Shortly before war broke out
q weI-knOwn English artist was held
because a plan of a fortress was
found in a leg of his stool when
opened. He was thrown into Jail.
Eventually it was proved by German
woman that a secret agent anxious to
make good" had taken the artists
brushes out of the stools leg and
placed the plan there The artist was
Then released, but what punishment
was meted out to the agent was not
disclosed. He probably was commend

WORSE THAN "RIDING GOAT"
Experience of Man Initiated Into Or
DER of Squirrels Hardly Thing
TO Be Envied.

The early birds of Germantown
were pulling a trial tweet outside Of
the windows Of the Second district po-
lice station when Lieutenant Dressler,
long accustomed to everything and al
ways ready for anything, received the
start of his life. A man walked into
the quiet station house wearing a coat
of varnish, a kilt Of burlap and a derby
nat which showed evidences Of hav-
ing been recently hamburged.
IL the course of his opening speech
ne made a few gestures which brought
into view a tattered shoe which he
was carrying after the fashion of a
handbag.
Probably ten minutes we're devoted
20 an unrestrained TRADE in which
harsh words mingled with the subject
of speed, railroads, tramps and luck,
and then Joseph Brennan Of Tamaqua,
Pa.-for it was indeed he-told the
coherent story OF wild night.
He said he had got aboard through
freight somewhat hurriedly at his
home town, intending to break into
the commercial activities of Philadel-
phia at the first price offered. At the
time of his ascent into the box car, he
explained, he was rather well dressed
and had a small store of money, and
everything with him was, to an extent,
well.
He had no sooner settled down for a
moments rest in the car, however,
when he became aware that several
persons, all somewhat given to gig
Cling, were in the car with him.
Five tramps there were, explained
Joseph, and they asked Joseph if he
was a Squirrel" which is an organi-
sation of hobos, and when he said that
ne was not they evidently took him
SOT a nut and began picking on him.
They straightway prepared to initiate
MIN into the well-known order, and the
ritual, according to Joseph, was a
bird and several eggs.
They took off his clothing, and, al
lowing him to grasp an iron rod, in
duced him to hop on and off the car,
which was moving at forty miles an
hour. After he was well aglow they
helped him back into the car, var
nished him thoroughly, gave him a
shoe as a keepsake and bounded him
of the train. Joseph estimated that
ne had run fully three miles, skipped
two and hoped one before coming to

QUEER FORMATIONS OF LAVA
Mystery to the Man Who
First Sees Them.

Surrounding the bases of several ex-
tinct volcanoes in Clayton county, Ne
vada. are a large number of singular
looking, light-colored cones about II
feet high, the size and hue of a big
tent. There are hundreds Of them
scattered around the foothills Of the
mountains, some closely grouped,
others standing separate and apart,
appearing from a distance like the r.
regular encampment of many regi-
ments of soldiers. At close range the
traveller thinks they may have been
huge ant hills such as are found IN
South africa, where the hunter some
times climbs to safety from the charge
Of an Infatuated buffalo or rhinocer-
os. The general honeycOmbing OF
the cones adds to their strange appear
ance and the wonder increases as to
what has caused them. They are lit
orally filed with holes. The explana-
ton is, however, simple one. The
country was once covered with flow
of soft lava from the volcanoes and
most of it has been washed and eroded
away, leaving these huge ''ant hills,
while the holes formed are due to the
fact that some portions of the lava
are not so hard as the rest and this
softer part has been eaten away by the
action of the rain and sand-laden
winds.

What Becomes of Gum.

The proprietor of an ice cream and
confectionery parIor in Wichita had
occasion to repair some Of his tables,
and in so doing made discoveries.
One of them had Ga Wads of chewing
,gum on the under side. Moved to in
Festigate further, he turned over all
OF his 25 tables. He found from so to
100 similar wads on each one, making
"a pleasant accumulation OF about 1850
-wads in the place. He concluded it
was about time he cleaned house. AS
the majority of his customers are
women, he believes that they must, in
mis- city at least, be one of the pillars
of the chewing gum ndustry.-Wichi-

RroadcLoth and Satin.

Broadcloth and satin are much COM
bined. For instance, there will be a
skirt of broadcloth with a bodice of
satin. Plaid broadcloth is also used.
But it is plaided in dull, deep colors.
These colors, which are employed in
the season. S plaids and stripes, are
infinitely more pleasing than the
vivid, garish colors used last year.

Garlic for Wash Stinos.

With experiments being made to
test the efficacy Of garlic as a cure for
consumptives, it is interesting to learn
that another of the medical properties
of this plant so little appreciated in
this country is that a crushed Glove
of garlic is considered the best remedy
for wasp sting, if applied directly to
the spot. In the French provinces the
curative properties Of garlic are well
known in this respect.

The leopard maintains its existence

Notch Road Travel

William M. Barnes, the veteran lum-
herman, whose lumber camp is at the
junction of the Long Trail and the road
to Smugglers' Notch, reports large
amount of travel on both the trail and
Notch road. The road is in fine condi-
ton, Mr.. Barnes having put in good
deal of work on it on his own account.
The Green Mountain Club has placed a
register at Mr.. Barnes camp and desires
to have all visitors by trail or road, record
their names. Mr.. Barnes thinks there is
no danger of the region of Smugglers'
Notch being deforested, as has been re-
Gently suggested. All the lumber has
been taken that will be for the pres ent,
and the growth is so rapid that what has
been taken is not much missed. Mr..
Barnes is doing only a small amount of
numbering this summer. In the unfre-
quented places where the lumber is cut
Mr.. Barnes finds some of the rare ferns
which have almost disappeared in the
Notch. A large amount of the roots of
these ferns have been taken away from
the Notch in the past few years by flor
lists and nurserymen.
