~ N certain of the islands lying
off the coast of Maine are some
of the peculiar, hermitlike and
~ sometimes degenerate charac-
ters such as are found in the
remote regions, the back towns and
the hill towns of every New England
state. But these islanders, more COM
pletely separated from their fellow
men than the recluses of the inland
states or even the inland portions OF
Maine, are a distinct type and per
haps the most striking representa-
tives of certain class that shuns
civilization and lives and rears it's
young in the manner of past cen
turies.
Back in the hill country of the
South are descendants of some of the
best blood of early colonial days,
stranded on the mountain tops like
the ark on Mount Ararat, of the pur-
est Saxon blood and the best ances-
try the country affords, fallen into
ignorance and sloth yet retaining a
sense of family Importance and per.
sonal dignity, poor and proud as an
ancient Scottish gentleman, resisting
the advances of civilization while
eager for its advantages.
Dislike Civilized Life.
Not like these are the dwellers OF
the islands off the Maine coast. They
boast no pride Of ancestry, though
theirs may be as good as that of any
of their more respectable contem
poraries. They live apart from civili
cation because they have no love for
it. They have no sense of forced iso
lation, the result of generations OF

Something of boyishness enters into
this trim walking suit, with it's
straight box coat and pocketed skirt.
It is fashioned for comfort without
any sacrifice of good and modish lines,
and suggests the hike and the stroll.
It is very adaptable and quite as much
at home in the city promenade as in
the heart Of the woods and over the
countryside.
The material is a rough open weave
in lightweight woolen goods, and the
pattern a small shepherds check in
brown and white. The skirt is smooth
fitting about the hips and cut with
moderate flare. There is a Tapped
seam down the front and group of
three inverted plaits at each side ex-
tending to the pockets. 1t is finished
with three-inch hem and cut to
scant ankle length. 1t extends an
inch and a half above the waist line
and is supported by webbing belt
that fits the waist snugly. The prac-
tical pockets at each side are bound
with silk braid in plain brown.
The waist worn with this skirt Is of
crepe de chine with convertible collar,

pretty enough to be worn with dressy
costumes and is not out of place
among much more ornate headwear
A substantial hat Of hemp, resem-
bling a fiat baretta, is recommended by
its unusual shape and its becoming
ness. 1t is shown at the right of the
picture and, along with the other two
hats, is posed straight on the head
without any saucy tilt. 1t is supported
by round, plain bandeau covered
with a narrow ornamental band made
of silk fiber and beads. A wired bow
of velvet is posed on the underbrim at
the back
These hats embody new features
that come at time when novelties
are scarce The story of summer
headwear has reached it's final chap
ter and will soon be closed to make
way for the beginning of that for
autumn.

Only occasionally does a visitor get
a glimpse at the interior of one Of
their habitations. The women and

centuries ago. No one knows their

Many of the tunics are perfectly

or by a band of military braid. Ere,

CHANGES IN WARFARE
MODERN GENERALS ARE UNLIKE
THOSE OF NAPoLEoN's TIME.
Now Do Their Work Out Of Sight Of
the Armies They Command. and
Move Men as Would
Chess PLAYER.

Generalship today is about as much
like generalship of Napoleon's time
as two-old-cat is like a major league
lier's Weekly. The general who
watches the battle from hill will be
blown to bits by artillery fire. I've
never seen a general on a horse In
this war. If he travels, 1t is in mo-
tor car, and he travels very little. :
He sits in front of a map covered with
blue and red penciled lines of the
trenches and the enemies. A dozen
experts are around him-each spe-
cialist. He Is but the chairman OF
the council, the silent man who lis
tens. The others plan and organize;
ne mods. Photographs from aero
planes tell him the change each day
in the trenches. He works with a
card-index system OF lives and mate
rial. An expert In brigade COM
mand decides whether it's practicable
to gain a few trenches; the division
staff decides to let the brigade COM
mander try, or perhaps carries it up
to the corps staff, which may in turn
pass 1t on to the great staff. A Jofre
or Won Hindenburg sits on the lid.
He must keep his mind on the great
main object; he must not bother with
details; and he must never, never
lose his head.
Df Joffre they say that when re-er-
forcements are demanded he Is always
slow to respond. Yet they always ar
rive IL they are needed. In one day
have seen $4,000 French troops pass
over single line of railway. for they
may be sent very rapidly when nee
essary.
Joffre is not caught mapping, though
he always sleeps his eight hours q
day. Won Hindenburg seems never
perplexed, never rushed, though he
has struck such telling and sudden
blows.
Where Napoleon threw in 10000 re-
serves and from his horse watched
them double past to change the tide
of battle, Won Hindenburg throws
100000 men on railroad trains in the
night into East Prussia, and everlast-
ingly surprises and overwhelms the
Russians. Meanwhile, in what seemed
a fierce and desperate attempt to
break through in front of Warsaw,
he was only feinting. But he did not
make a half feint. 1t cost him TWEEN
ty or thirty thousand casualties. Ths
allied newspapers were rejoicing Ia
his repulse before Warsaw when he
was preparing his coup in East Prus-
STA. Some Germans who were taken
prisoners in front of Warsaw had on
their persons copies If orders indi-
eating that the frontal attack was to
be pressed. Perhaps those Germans
fell prisoners very easily.-Frederick
Palmer in Golfers Weekly.

Russian Newspaper In stockholm.


A Russian newspaper under the
name of Skandinavskij Listok is now
being regularly published in Stock
holm 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 Russian subjects residing in
that city, and it is the intention OF
this paper to meet the needs OF these
people. One reason for establishing
the paper is the difficulty of receiv-
ing Russian papers regularly in Stock
holm, owing to the uncertainty OF
mail deliveries. 1t is also the inten-
tion of this paper to devote a large
part of it's space to commercial inter
ests and attempt to join Scandinavia
and Russia more closely in this re-
spect. 1t will be nonpolitical as far
as possible.
