writer in the New York Evening Post:
 There was an endless. surging tide of people, a crowd which would be described next day as record breaking" for it was a Sunday after noon in June, and thousands had es- caped from their hot city apartments and were spending it at Coney Island. There may be some persons left who want to rest on the Sabbath day, but not so those who journey down to this fascinating place, where the sights and We sounds are enough to keep them perpetually stimulated Many of the people you pass upon the street look as if they had worked hard for the oth- CT six days of the week, but now they are determined to have some fun to make up for it, and have chosen the noisiest, most crowded. and the gay est place within reach
 Wow" shouts a man in red coat, who stands before a side-show, the pla- cards of which declare that it will re- veal the wonders of the Orient. Wow, come in and have a look. New CT saw anything like it. ladies and gents. Wow, come in and have a look"
 And he is only one of ten in his i'm mediate vicinity, each of whom is blessed with strong explosives, strong lung capacity and marvellous inciina- tion toward hospitality.
 Subtiety Versus the Obvious.
 If Coney were a place of silence or of merely mild sound, the visitor would never be inspired to do the things which he finds himself nerved to do when excited by the roar about him. It bears him along, he is deafened by it, and soon finds himself shouting with the others. laughing uproariously at the spectacle of a solemn man wear ing a small red felt hat about as big as a teacup over one ear, although as a matter of everyday choice, he pre- fers a somewhat subtler appeal to hu- nor.
 The crowds take you along; you laugh with them, you push and shove with them. You feel yourself closer to human nature than ever before. even in the subway at rush hour This crowding and pushing mob is very diff ferent from the subway crowd, tired after a days work. cross and hot and lackadaisical. This is a gay and so ciable and contented, uproarious gath ering which bears you along on the wave of it's enthusiasm. Even if you come alone and join the crowds. you feel at once accompanied and befriend- ed
 In such a mood of comradeship and boisterousness you love to watch the man who is passing out bags of pop corn to those who proffer the neces- sary nickel, while the popcorn itself pops white inside a glass case, show ering down like fountain And fur ther on there is the attraction of the smoking plate, on which hot dogs are being cooked till their skins burst, as they are laid between two rolls and laved with mustard. And certainly it is the most natural thing in the world for the person who at other times and in other places has a care of what he eats, to order one with the

About Circles.

Circles which used to encirele mi lady's dainty waist are not to be found in that region this season. They have moved upward, most of them, to give the new high-waisted effect. From this high position they are apt to wan der in and out of draperies, often creeping under the full skirt to tie in a part at the front or back of the hem. One pretty girdle had three long loops falling directly under each other, and in the end of each loop was caught ull-blown pink rose. An other girdle of sulphur yellow was so completely hidden by the chiffon over waist that you could only guess at it's presence on the dress.

EnQlish Superstition.

It is favorite superstition in Eng land that the bacon of swine killed during the waning of the moon will waste away in the process of curing or cooking much more than bacon Of hogs killed while the moon is growing. This superstition is akin to that which impresses upon farmers the necessity of planting root crops in the dark Of the moon"

 Suited to the matron as well as to the younger woman, the sailor hat of white corduroy and satin. faced with black velvet. is of the sort that may be worn anywhere. The upper brim and top crown are of corduroy. and the side crown is covered with satin laid in folds. Odd, new ornaments of beads and curving ribs of feathers. or "feelers." as they are called. are ap- piled to the crown.

Which is London's noisiest noise? It takes a tram strike to afford us the necessary tranquility for such d reflection. For where the tramless rails glint in the spring sunshine an almost sylvan calm reigns. In the dis tance We can hear the ramble of the notorious and the insistent "honk" of the motor horn.

 Crocheted hats are made of silk fiber, chenille, or wool, and are very smart for motor wear, for travelling. and for the street. Fine wire is used in shaping them, and they are made by professional workwomen who un- the erocheted stitches.

lroninq a Shirt.

A great many housekeepers do not know how to handle a shirt while ironing it. This way is simple and if the directions are followed the shirt will be a success. The irons must be clean and hot, the shirt clean and damp. Begin on the sleeves and not on the cuff If the sleeve is ironed first the garment will not be mussed over to iron the sleeve later. Iron the cuff next. Read the directions on any starch box to learn how to do that. Cover the cuff with a clean cloth and
