Our froeks are. It seems. becoming
more and more opaque, less and less
transparent. With high collars and
long sleeves, with bodices of serge
and silk instead of chiffon and lace,
the frock is truly becoming an opaque
covering. But if our frocks are
opaque, we still have transparency. At
the horse show a transparent coat,
which clearly showed the frock be-
meath it, attracted good deal of at
tention. And we all know the trans
parent hat. 1t is decidedly pretty
hat, and much more attractive than it
was when it first made its appearance
a couple of seasons ago. MillineTs
and dressmakers learn by experience,
like the rest of US. The first trans

lwhite collar showing over its top
edge.
The styles of this winter seemed to
have been made with design to
keep us warm. OF course we know
that. such practical ideas seldom ami
mate the dressmakers; they are quite
as likely to introduce double-breast-
cd, high-necked jackets in the summer
as in the winter; in fact. that is just
what they did last year. But the
winter jackets have high collars. they
are long and full, and the sleeves are
SO snug about the wrist that not a
bit of unweleome winter breeze can
gain entrance there.
Tassels are used for trimming.
Some of them are of silk, some are
metallic. They are used sometimes
at the ends of tassels, and sometimes
tiny ones are used alone. Small white
silk tassels are used at the outside end
OF the buttonholes on q Ceorgette
crepe blouse.
Muffs are made in every shape
imaginable, and some are made with
two pockets, one for each hand.
1t is new trick-or an old one re-
vived-to have the muff swung around
the neck on a cord, chain or ribbon.
Stripes are used for trimming, in
bands both straight and bias.
Capes form the keynote, perhaps. of
winter fashions. They are short
shoulder capes, and they are found
on frocks and coats in diminutive,
abbreviated form.

Buttons are one of the effective
trimming features of the season. The
dull silver and gilt buttons are espe-
cially attractive on silk and are used
I on some of the smartest. afternoon
frocks.
Hats for sports wear are quite
plain, and depend for their charm on
their carefully nodded shape. They
are sometimes of felt. but often OF
velour. with softly rolling brims and
rounded crowns. They come in
bright shades-eperald, yellow, pur-
pie, Alice blue, and rose. They look
we'll with sports coat or suit of mix
ed wool, or with one of the same
color.
More and more decorative is the
entrance to the muff. The shirred
lining of colored satin often shows,
and sometimes there is an especially
soft facing of fur, or narrow band
that seems to hug the wrists. There
are some muffs, too. with a sort of
cuff at each side of the muff, through
which the hands slip. and these are
capable of being made quite elabo-
rate, with silk, lace and braid.
Lacings form a decorative feature
of many frocks. There are serge and
velvet bodices laced back and front,

and skirts laced up the side. There
are many forms of laced sleeves, too,
and one evening frock shows two
rather plain panels OF velvet forming
the back and front of the bodice,
laced loosely together over the shoul-
ders. The lacings are made of beads
strung together.
Fringe still holds big place in the
world of trimming. 1t is used around
the bottom of skirts, on hats, fur COL
lars, muffs and bodices. Silver fringe
is especially pretty on some of the
smart little military hats of the sea-
son.
There are some lovely new collars
and vests of Georgette crepe. Some
of them are trimmed with tiny but
tons, and are made high at the back,
with a wired frill, and surplice clos

Pulled sleeves seem to be coming
into vogue. Many evening frocks are
made with a tiny puff at the shoulder,
sometimes slipped just below. And
daytime frocks, too, are more and
more taking to the puffed form of

and a little puff at the top. Some
have a narrow cuff and longer cuff.

overlooking. Turning to Price, who
was kneeling behind the plate, he
snarled:
Wont speak to me, huh? Wait un
til this game is over and see what you
think about it,"
Price smiled and touched his right
hand to his ear Hogan then realized
that he had been raving at a deaf man,
and dropping his bat he began an
earnest conversation with Price in the
two-handed style of dummy sign
language.
Price removed his glove and a great
gabfest was soon in progress at the
home plate. ~
The fans in the grandstand and
bleachers roared, play ball." The in.
field and outfield took up the cry, but
Hogan was apparently as deaf as
Price until the umpire touched him
on the shoulder and threatened $40
fine if he continued to interrupt the
game.
But there started a friendship be.
tween Hogan and Price which existed
as long as life remained.

Ptomaine Danger Unfounded,
Says Agricultural Department.
Composition Not Altered by the Proc
ess of Preservation, Say the Ex-
perts-Urge More Consump-
ton to Help the Business.

Washington. = Recent lnveStlga-
tions carried on by the department of
agriculture appear to indicate that the
prejudice against the eating OF fish,
especially frozen fish, because OF the
alleged danger of ptomaine poisoning,
is quite unfounded," says statement
issued by Secretary Houston. "A par
tial decomposition of either fish or
meat may result in the formation OF
certain substances that cause diges-
tive trouble. These substances are
popularity known as ptOmaine, al
though many of them have not yet
been fully studied and their nature de-
termined The whole question is
very complex one, but there is, how
ever, no reason for assuming that
there is any more likelihood Of pto-
maines in fish than in meat. New
processes of preserving fish by freez-
ing, glazing and cold storage make it
as safe an article AS meat.
"This popular prejudice has done
much to hinder the development OF
what might be a far greater industry
and has prevented the people from
obtaining a wholesome, economical
and attractive substitute for meat at
the very time when the price of meat
has been rising rapidly.
MANY persons eat fish only on fast
days. and especially on Fridays. The
idea that Friday is fish day has COM
PEELED the fish trade to do what
amounts largely to a one-day-in-the-
week business. This, of course, has
tended to make prices higher than
necessary. With the Increased de-
mand the supply of fish would be
much larger, and if the consumption
were distributed evenly throughout
the week the waste would be much
less and the prices should conse-
quently be lower.
Both scientific research and prac-
tical experience have shown that
fish properly frozen and kept under
proper conditions remains perfectly
good for period of from one to one
and one-half years. This, OF course
is much longer than there is any neea
of in practice, and permits OF margin

ALL LIFE is CHANGE
NATURES LAW AGAINST WHICH
so MANY REBEL.
Women Especially Refuse to Be Rec.
oncileo to the Inevitable-Rose
May Well Teach a Lesson
to Mankind.

Beauty is something to be striven
for in every relation of life. Beautiful
homes, beautiful cities, beautiful peo-
pie are to be desired, but human be-
ings are living creatures and men and
women should remember that the law
Of all living things is change. The
rose, blooming in loneliness, drops,
without protest, it's petals when it's
radiant hour is past, when it's mission
of beauty Is accomplished.
But that does not mean that the
rose tree dies. 1t only obeys natures
law without rebellion. Women are
like roses; they bloom in beauty in
their youth and then, when their lit
tie day of physical charm is past they
refuse to be reconciled to temporary
autumn of life and shrink from the
passing winter of death.
An Indian poet has said: "Tha
flower blooms for the fruit; when the
fruit comes the flower withers." Even
so women exchange their physical
beauty for the work of their lives, and
who shall say that the lifework of
woman is not more fair than the phys
ical price she paid to achieve it?
Spring only promises; autumn's hands
are filled with fruits.
Women are only given youth,
beauty, straightforward and physical
that their lives may bear fruit, and
who would stand in maturity woman
in experience and a girl in appear
ance? There is nothing more pa,
thetic than the man or woman of ma.
ture years whose life has been so de-
void of experience that the entertain
ments of youth still appeal to them as
the highest ideals of pleasure.
You do not want a man grown to
look like a boy! Riding within a
street car the other day the writer had
time to observe young father stand
ing upon the platform whose little
child has recently passed through a
critical illness. His youthful face, I'M
conscious of the scrutiny, was Begin
ming to wear mans expression-a
fathers expression. No one would
have called him a boy. With mans
responsibilities his features were at
tanning manhood's dignity.
And, somehow, upon another occa-
sion. the secret of an especially ideal
woman's life seemed to be revealed,
when that woman's daughter re-
marked: Mother never had any SYM

rates-and even the Brooklyn Dodgers
can give the Giants a mighty bat

will stack up as pie counter PROPOSE

the Cardinals are dangerous. The
Giants in an attempt to climb from
the bottom to the top of the Ma
tional league heap would find the
climbing at least 80 per cent harder
than the Braves did last year. And,
furthermore, the Giants haven't the
power that the Braves had. The
Braves were aided and abetted in their
achievement by the most remarkable
pitching feats the baseball world has
ever known. Three twirlers-James
Rudolph and Tyler-pitched in rota-

A mountaineering team must

an order on the subject:

A hazer is essentially a bully and

Betting Is Forbidden.
Betting is another forbidden de-
light to midshipmen. In the fall Of
1912 half the students or about 400
men were involved in pool of $4,000
which was raised to be wagered
against an equal amount collected at
West Point on the result of an Army
Navy football game. The authorities
have stamped out the drinking of in
toxicating liquors with an iron hand.
Another practice more than frowned
upon is the running of extravagant
bills, especially for flowers and for
entertainment of guests.
This Is not the first time that acad-
envy examinations have caused rue
tions. The entrance requirements
ments have been fruitful source Of
trouble. The charge has been made
on the floor of the house of repre-
sentatives that the tests have been
made in such a way that candidates
were forced to go to the preparatory
schools which specialize in getting
boys into the academy.
On several occasions, too, it has
been reported that candidates have
had substitutes take the examination
for them Brilliant and unscrupulous
youths have been found to palm them
selves off as the candidates in the ex-
animation room with the result that

Wy MANN ". NlIHANiNiH'P
The Giants are so to 1 shot for
he 1915 pennant-just that and moth
ng more. Nothing but miracle can
win for them now.
The Giants have just one real
)itcher-Tesreau. And no ball club
ever won a pennant with less than
three top-notch pitchers. Mathewson
is about through The brain of the
old master" is as crafty as of yOre,
cut the old arm refuses to obey the
l.Ctates of that brain And the opposi-
,on has batted the feeble shoots and
olants to all portions of the lot on
practically every start Matty has
made this year.
Marquard is cratic One day he
pitches a great game; the next day
ne performs like a bush Lacquer Per-
litt was 4 winning twirler with the
Cardinals, but he hasn't touched the
800 mark with the Giants. Stroud is
showing up nicely but he can't be de-
pended upon to win two-thirds of his
games. Schupp and Schauer haven't
shown anything.
And these men constitute the
Giants defense; Tesreau, a marvellous
pitcher, the fast-slipping Matty the
cratic Marquard the in-and-out Per
rift and the unreliable Stroud, Schupp
and Schauer
Extensively the Giants do not show
up much better. On some days they
look like the greatest outfit of slug
gers in existence; on others they act
like a bunch. of blind men. They hit
III streaks; and no streak-hitting club
ever WON the pennant.
Some wonderfully optimistic Giant
gooters still see chance for the pen
nant. They point to the work of the
Braves last year. They argue that the
Giants can do what the Braves did.
But how different is the situation!
Last year the Braves had no one
10 beat out but the Giants. The New
York outfit overshadowed every other
club in the league up to July 4th.
Every other club was of the second
division order. But this year there
are at least four clubs that seem as
powerful now as the Giants did in
1914.
The Cubs, Phillies, Braves and Pr
