other effect is obtained, and usually
such an effect can only be attained
by an artist. A most important thing
| to remember is not to buy a dress
because 1t pleases your fancy, but be-
cause you know it will accentuate
all of your good points. To many
this category of donts will seem so
elementary that they are hardly to be
taken seriously, but unfortunately
they are but few who actually put
these rules into practice.
The styles this season are shown
In such variety that there are clothes
for the fat, the thin and the negative
woman.
Velvet and other pile fabrics, and
the imitation fur-cloths, such as mole,
Persian lamb, civet and leopard, are
used extensively for gowns, suits and
wraps, as well as for the trimming of
gowns.
A taupe gown of chiffon over the
same colored charmeuse had two tn.
MICS which were edged with bands Of
imitation mole skin. The waist also
had band of it to outline the sur
pdice waist.
Another stunning gown had waist
made after the jumper style Of Per
sian lamb cloth. The sleeves of the
waist were of black chiffon. The
skirt was made with a long tunic of
velvet with a lower spirit of fur.cloth.
"A suit of black velvet has a Jacket
with long ends Of velvet, which tie at
the back beneath cape-like back.
The cape is edged with four-inch
band of Persian lamb. The long tn.
mic OF velvet has a band of this same
fur and is over a narrow skirt of vel.

derful scintilating cloth-supple and
attractive without the weight Of the
jetted cloth of years ago when it was
SO much the rage.
A wonderful evening gown Of velvet
was made with waist cut in a low
V front and back. On one side was
draped triangular-shaped piece of
velvet, the point reaching almost to
the shoulder, where 1t was Joined. to
similar piece in the back with
band Of Jet. The other side Of the
waist front and back, was of tulle
draped up in the same manner, with
the points Joined together with the
band of JET The skirt was made with
yoke short on one hip and longer
on the other. To this the lower skirt
was attached, which was gathered
about an inch and half from the top
edge and formed a narrow suffle as
the heading where skirt and yoke
were joined. This skirt hung straight
to the ankles on one side, while on the
other it was draped up. Around the
waist was a wide girdle studded in
graceful design with brilliants.
A dress of brilliant brocade with
waist full low in the back and skirt
draped up at one side was entirely
yelled with blue tulle. At the back
two ends were fastened to the waist
and relched out to the wrist, to which
they were attached with bracelets Of
Jet. When the arms were raised the
effect was of transparent azure wings.

 When you have gained confidence in your ability to stay above the water, you may begin to make some progress in the direction of real swimming. In performing the movements, previous ly described, in the water. bring the arms around just under the surface As the hands reach the thighs after the downward-arm stroke let the body go forward before beginning the leg movement. As you drive with the legs. permit the arms to trail above the head until the momentum from the leg movement is lost

 carefully and straight; do not stretch it a particle Dissolve one teaspoonful of granulated sugar in one pint of boil ing water; wet clean cloth with this and lay it lightly on the crape.

 and continue the same process until the entire veil has been gone over. The crape will be full of deep crihkles and as crisp as new, no matter how old and flat it was when you began Small pieces Of crape for trimming can be re- newed in the same way The crape should be shaken and brushed to re- move all traces of dust before starting the restoring proeess.-New York Sun-

cu~iousa Ball Play.

A ball club in a regular game made six hits in one inning, one of them triple, and yet not single run crossed the plate This terrific bombardment with freakish result was pulled off in the first inning of the game. The first man to face the pitcher smashed the ball to the corner of the lot for triple and was thrown out at the plate trying to stretch his hit into a home run The second batsman swatted a single and, like his predecessor, tried to make an extra base and was heav- ed out at second The third batsman and the fourth and fifth also singled, filling the bases. The sixth man at the plate hit the ball between first and second base, and the runner who had been on first was hit by the batted ball, retiring the side without a run scoring Chicago Tribune.

BOXING NOTES

Young Ahern. who was known around New York state couple of years ago as the dancing master, has been meeting with tremendous success in England and France-not only among the weEterwe1Shts, but among the n1iddleweights as we'll It is a curious fact that Ahern Is na-' tive of England and under the rules of. the London Sporting club he Is eligt= bIe to enter for the LonsdaIe belts over. there. He has taken on weight since leaving the States and is now able to fight in the middIeWeight divis-. ion very comfortably. Dan AcKeTick,s manager of Ahern, has come out with a-rather startling challenge which has set the Britfshers all agog. McKetrick has issued a challenge to the effect that he will back Ahern against any n1fdd1ewefght in England for g, 500 a side, and if the n1iddIeweights are sfaJ about accepting the same, he will put up a side bet of g. 500 against any light Heavyweight in Great Britain. Not only that, but he has offered to match Ahern again Bombardier Wells at any old weight, which shows that little Daniel has every confidence In his former dancing master It is evident that Ahern Is going great guns just now and if he keeps on he will have a chance to bid for the middle weight championship when he gats back here. meeting such stars as Jim my Clabby, Eddie McGoorty, JeR Smith and Jack Dillon, not forgetting Michael Gibbons.
 The boxing game was given a. big boost when the committee of the In- ternationa1 Athletic Association voted to have boxing included in the 1916 Olympic games at Berlin. Edforts were made to prevent boxing being in cEuded in the program. but the com mittee. after giving it every consid- eration, decided that boxing was en- titled to ap1ace, and as a result there will be all kinds of amateur boxing events at the games in Berlin in 1s16 There is no reason why boxing should be barred from these games, for it Is certainly one of the oldest of ath- Ietic sports and dates back to the time of the Romans. There are many high class amateur boxers in Europe, especially in England, and most of them are very well to do. It is certain that the United States will send a large delegation of amateurs Go compete in the tournament to be held in Berlin, and q ere is little doubt but that Australia will follow suit
 France has taken such a great interest in the fighting game the past few years that they will no doubt have a full entry from the amateur ranks, and the same can be said of England, so that all in all there should be some very interesting contests as a result

Conduc3ors' Punches Are Reqisterad.
 s'The passenger on a railroad train when he has his ticket punched proba- bly, does not know that the punch mark used by the conductor is one of 17.OoO different designs,' remarked Frank E. Brown, an old time railroad man. 'tOn the big railroads there are no two punches that have marks de signed alike, and the interstate com merce commission by examining the punch mark can trace the ticket punch ed to the conductor, train and road upon which the ticket was given. To get a punch a conductor has to sign seven papers before 1t Is delivered to him. There used to be an old couplet. Mark Twain wrote it, which ran:
 Punch, punch, punch with care,
 Punch in the presence of the passengaire
 '.In the old days the railroads-that was before the days of the interstate commerce commission = didn't care what kind of punches their employees used, but today it is different. Every punch is registered, and every mark is different '-Washingto Post.
