Odd Swimming Device.

Ter at the rear end. Running forward
is an extension of the tube with
the gear wheel that operates the
shaft and handles for driving 1t. The
swimmer" or whatever he may be
called, has merely to turn the handles
and the propeller is started revolving,
pushing him through the water at a
rapid rate. If he wants to go straight
forward he need not use his feet at
all, but in order to change his course
he has only to kick out a few times
with the foot opposite the direction
in which he wishes to go.

The silk need not necessarily mate
the tint of the flowers; for instance q
lavender lowered %organdie is mounted
over pale pink pussy-willow silk;

with these pretty costumes, and the
sharp note of black seems to make
the soft colors of the %organdie all the
softer and more dainty.

Venturing upon the becalmed sea of
summer fashions these three sailors
went sailing from the safe harbor of
the salons where such wonderful craft
are made. They are the something
new" which we could hardly expect,
and the something beautiful, for which
we hoped, in headwear.
The wide-brimmed hat in black
malines overlaid with lace has a small
crown and is reported as a forerunner
of this particular type for fall. The
brim is fiat as well as wide, and gives
the hat character, while the crown is
negligible-just a crown that fits the
head-and nothing more. Lace and
folded bands of satin ribbon adorn it,
and at the front an odd half-wheel Of
goura feathers seems exactly the right
ornament in the right place.
Just below, a white felt sailor, with
brim less wide and curving slightly
upward den rstrates the perennial
style of tn rench idea in sailors.
A bow of bla,6 velvet ribbon is set be-
low the back brim and. for decora-
ton. transparent oak leaves of black
chiffon are laid fiat to the brim and a
double low Of round pearl beads is set
against the crown.
A combination of black straw braid,
of the shiny sort, and heavy white
linen makes up the third of these
smart hats. Its brim is the narrowest
Of the three and its crown the most
ambitious as to size and trimming
Even at that, 1t is simply trimmed
with a small pair of outspread wings
in black, mounted fat against the
brim, and a row of %crocheted balls

There are some decidedly tempting
cape clasps for sale this summer
things the jewellers have provided in
response to the fashions for capes.
They are now used chiefly for eve

the clasp consists of a single big

small, dull metal clamp. Sometimes
the clasp is much like the old-fash-

enamel or metal set with stones.
