ing hall as anyone else, and then

feet in the head, He died few
hours later. Miller gave himself up

A GREAT throng of smartly dressed
"a people, New Workers, English and
people from the outside" world, gath
cred to watch the international polo
matches, arrayed in clothes that need
not fear any comparison. In the
games the English literally galloped
away with the trophy, and the Ameri-
cans took their defeat with a good ma
ture altogether admirable. But If
the occupants of the boxes and grand
stands might have been matched
against any other such concourse, any
where, as to the excellence of their
appareling, it is safe to say the New
Workers would have more than held
their own.
The field was cheerful spectacle,
with the stands packed with men in
light suits and straw hats, making a
suitable background for the gay tints
worn by the women in their summer
finery. The colors were soft, with
many white and a considerable num-
Der of black and white costumes in
evidence. Except for turquoise blue
and bright green, nearly all colors
were so toned down in shade or SO
lightened to tint that hardly a trace
of the former liking for the strong or
garish remained.
There was a liberal display Of col
ored parasols, and these provided the
decided color notes. They were of
