The outing cap which can be easily
converted into an auto bonnet, and is
made of stuff that will stand the stress
Of wind and. weather, needs not to be
recommended. 1t speaks for itself and
its talking points are unanswerable.
As rule these caps are made of
mercerized poplin or Palm Beach
cloth, although pongee, taffeta and
some other fabrics are occasionally
used 5Mercerized poplin and Palm
Beach cloth are cotton materials in
weaves so attractive that they are
often combined with silk and lose
nothing by this close association with
it. Both these materials are washable
and strong.
Machine stitching and narrow silk
braid are relied upon to furnish the
decorative features in these useful
caps. Sometimes they are used to-
gether. The brims and crowns are
often in contrasting colors, or the
brims are faced with a color different
from that in the body of the cap. Fa-
vorite combinations are those made
of pongee-colored cloth with bright
green, blue, black or red introduced in
the brim facings.
Wells are either of the same color
as the body of the cap or like the con
trasting color used. They are about
two yards long and three-quarters Cor
iess) IN width. When the cap is to be
usec for motoring they slip through

No one can tell when the bride of
today will introduce the mode of to-
day in some detail of her wedding
gown, be it ever so conventional in
style. For since her choice of fabrics
may lie anywhere from tulle to bro
-cade, falling upon the lightest or the
heaviest or any of the gradations be-
tween, she has as wide choice in
design. This follows because she must
adapt style to the fabric, and there
fore we have wedding gowns and
wedding gowns, no two alike and all
interesting
But brides are apparently of one
Nearly all of them choose the conven-
tional long sleeve and the unconven-
tional V-shaped neck, more or less
low
AS to skirts, they may be short and
wide, in thin materials, and unframed.
A girlish French model of lace and
chiffon was made even a little shorter
than ankle length, with wide panel of
lace down the front, broadening to-
ward the bottom. The skirt flared de-
cidedly. Having departed in an op-
posite direction from the conventional
mode thus far, the designer appears
to have repented. The very long
sleeves of chiffon and very high neck
in the lace bodice made a humble and
contrite apology for the engaging
frivolity of the skirt,

New Fat Model.

One of the prettiest transparent hat
models is shown in shop which
caters to exclusive patronage, writes a
New York correspondent. The crown,
a round bunchy, dented tam-o -shanter,
is of neapolitan and the brim is
naught but wide stiffened ruffle of
malines, so full that the rufle curves
up and down bonnily at the edges. #
desired, so that the malines will long
err keep its shape, the ruffie may be
supported with satin-covered wire,
bent to accommodate the natural
curves of the ruffie and extending in
a few radiating spokes from the crown
as well, If the malftes ruffle is I'M
supported by wire, then the malines
must be renewed from time to time,
and very stiff variety must be OBJ
tanned.

The veil worn with this gown was
of lace-bordered net, ample as to full
ness and long enough to lie a few
inches on the floor
Nothing could be much simpler in
design than the splendid wedding
gown of one of New York's spring
brides. 1t was made of white and sill
yer brocade with white satin court
train, and cut in the empire style The
skirt and waist were in one. The
skirt, long and only moderately full,
hung close to the figure The baby
waist had V-shaped neck and very
long sleeves of net The train was
bordered with wide lace, and hand
some lace veil was arranged in man
tilla fashion over the hair. 1t fell part
ly over the train.

Swimmer Merely Pedals.

end is screw propeller of the type
used on motorboats and driven by
means of pedals. The swimmer lies
fiat on this plank and pedals. as If
he was riding bicycle. He uses his
arms chiefly to direct his course and
to maintain his balance on the plank
The revolving propeller provides all
the impetus necessary. An advantage
OF the apparatus is that the user need
not necessarily know how to swim
without it,

New Petticoats.

The phases of the new petticoat are
many We have princess slips of
silk, batiste, crepe de chine, held
over the shoulders with straps of
ribbon and deliberately trimmed
about the hem with wide flounces Of
lace, plated organdie, chiffon or net,
caught here and there with bouquets
of delicately tinted French flowers.
They measure from four to six yards
about the hem, and sometimes little
1916 pantalettes, made of materials to
match the petticoat, are worn beneath

slides sewed at the sides of the cap
The brims turn up or down and re-
main in almost any position the wear
er may want. The wells may be tied
about the cap in big bows and become
trimming in an emergency requiring
something more pretentious looking
than the cap unadorned. The clever
girl may be trusted to ring all the
changes possible with these classy bits
of headwear, which are. by the way, SO
inexpensive that everyone may own

EASY for Him.

Now, suppose, children, one of your
schoolmates should strike you, and the
next day you should bring him an
apple, that would be one way of re-
turning good for evil" said the Sun
day-school teacher
A little girl raised her hand.
Well, Elizabeth said the teacher,
what is it?'
Then" said Elizabeth firmly, "he
would strike you again to get another
apple"

SWIMS is MILES IN AN HOUR
Frenchman Uses Apparatus With
Screw Propeller That Goes Through
Water With Him on 1t.

A Frenchman has been interesting
his compatriots lately by swimming
at the speed of 16 miles an hour in
one of the waterways near Paris. To
be strictly accurate, however, he does
not swim at all, but merely operates
screw-propelled apparatus that goes
through the water with him lying upon
it. A plank about six feet long has
metal floats at each end At the rear

It would seem that my friend Heath has gone into the fight without the kind of ammunition that is recognized, and of service to one in the fighting phalanxes" of the Democratic party. 1 came into the Pulaski County Courthouse on the first day of No vember, 1904. You will note that Tor ten years previous to this date l had paid my poll tax. l have never made any bombastic claims about my De mocracy anu certainly with the above record you will believe that l was a worker in the party long before any dreams of office entered my mind. My record for efficiency is known to you. Just take me as I am, and as you have found me, and I believe you will place the stamp of approval not only on my actions as an officer, but upon my record as a poll tax payer.
