h TOT every mother knows that sAs
N can make perfectly good rompers
for the baby out of her husband,
old colored shirts.
No matter how expensive the material
OF which the shirt IL made It soon rubs
through at the collar, leaving the rest
Of the garment practically unworn. The
material Is much more expensive und
usually prettier than the chambray or
Bingham which the average mother buys
for the rompers which Going -on Two
wears regardless of Sex.
There Is a saving OF time as well 3,
material, for tho pattern may be so lald
on that the buttons down the front OF
the shirt come at the back OF the rom
per. This leaves only the buttonholes
In the seat to be made. Tho little
sleeves come out Of the big ones.
By taking care to make them long
enough In the seat the rompers may bs
outworn and outgrown at the same time
Another advantage IL that in winter
they accommodate the baby's skirts. On
hot summer days these may be dis
pensed with entirely. A romper pattern
with pleats should be selected, 30 that
piecins IL necessary may be invisible.

the lace hounce.

est models two OF which I have sketched
this week. While on the subject OF
ultra-decollete evening dresses i draw
attention to the charming model which
have called "The Titania."
Here you have IA perfectly graceful
and elegant robe without any unncc-
essary touch of eXaggeration. Certainly
the manteau de cour which fell from
the shoulders was uncommon in outline
but 1t was just the sort OF thing that
tall, graceful woman could wear with
certain success. The robe itself was
composed of chiffon In three shades
shell pink, sea green and oyster white
Then there was n long tunic, scalloped
at the hem, embroidered in iridescent
pearls which repeated the three delicate
shades just named. The corsage, which
was sleeveless, was slightly pouched
at the back and in front 1t was crossed
over the bust and tucked away In the
folded waist band.
The manteau de cour shown In this
Sketch IL one OF the novelties of the
season. 1t Is attached to the corsagt
AT the back and the large collar 10 in,
vsibly wired. These manteauX ar,
made lace as well as In chiffon; sill
yer gauzc was the material used fol
the Paquin model.

a really superb evening mantle. tn,
lower part of this cloak was composed
OF black mirror velvet and tho uppeI
portion was made of fine black Chan,
lilly and left transparent. The gath,

Of the cloak was lined with gold gauze.
The headdress shown on this figure
was worn at the first night Of the Rus
sian ballet. 1t was Of the windmill or
der and very remarkable. As. how
ever its wearer was a remarkably
pretty woman. II scored n success.
Nine. Paquin is using satin in the
new shade of green called EQUITIES
d. eau" In combination with pearl and
crystal embroideries. Gouttes d'eau Is
very pale green, which looks as
though II had been washed In faint blue
and It Is an ideal color for night wear,
in satin or chiffon,
Another favorite color of this fine
artist is pain brule" and still another
a subtle tone OF yellow ochre. All the
soft yellow tints are fashionable this
summer, especially lemon and dried
orange. These colors are freely used
for chiffon gowns yelled in shadow lace
Apricot pink Is another fashionable
shade for garden party dresses and
dainty tulle gowns are made In the
pastel tint called ashes Of roses.

front there were very original black an
tenn9, which were curved to form
something like horns. The whole thing
was eminently chic and attractive.
Pale, golden brown hair was very
much in evidence. / have already said
that this Is the color OF the year; a
peculiar shade Of gold brown which has
no tinge OF red In II, and no: too much
gold: a sort Of warm ash tint, which
Is rarely lovely and which cannot be
Initiated. A woman has to possess this
hair naturally or she has to purchase an
entire transformation. No hair dresser,
even tho cleverest, could successfully
tint hair TO this particular color.
The question of decollete evening
dresses Is becoming n serious one. The
spirit OF exaggeration is rapidly creep
ing in. l am not unnecessarily prudish,
but l confess that some OF the evening
corsages now exploited by society
women, and in public theatres, are
startling.
We have become accustomed to the
evening corsage which is cut down al
most to the waist at the back, but when
1t comes to leaving a bare space under
the arms 1t Is time to cry halt. Sleeves
have now no place on evening gowns
but a corsage can be sleeveless with
out being Objectionable. 1t Is quite
| time that We set aside music ham fash

much Of them.

New York, July 2e-At least one and possibly four persons were drown ed and it is feared other casualties oc- cured late today when the river steamer Majestic, of Newark, return ing home. with about 1000 excursion ists on board, from days outing at College Point on Long Island, collided in the East river with a stone laden barge, capsizfng the freight craft
 The steamer was not damaged. but in a panic on board that followed the crash the Majesdc's pass engers rush ed to the deck railings, fighting and pressing for a point of vantage as the steamer was headed for the near est pier. When the Majestic touched the pier hundreds jumped together of to the docks. Two who sprained their ankles are at a hospital. Fears that some were crushed between the steam ships side and the facing of the pier will exist until the excursionists check theirt lists at Newark
 A life saver stationed near the point Of the collision picked up woman, supposed to be the wife of the barge captain, floating down the river. She died at a hospital without regaining consciousness.
 Swept inshore by the strong ebb tide the Majestic crashed into the moored barge causing the barge to snap it's hawsers and capaize- The captain of the barge, his wife their son, and a passenger who was seen to leap from the steamer. were drowned, it is thought.

 This was the keynote of an address delivered tonight before the Hartford Central Labor union by Prof. Willard c. Fisher Of Mdddletown in speaking on Connecticut and the Railroad. Professor Fisher severely criticized the laws of the state in relation to rail- roads. Speaking of testimony recently made on the witness stand (evidently referring to the interstate commerce commission), Professor Fisher said it was enough to stir the tamest spirit into widest indignation.
