BOTH MASTER AND SERVANT
Canoe a True Friend Of Man, Only
Calling for Expert Handling in
Its Management.

The canoe is as old as time. and has
neve wandered very far from the
primitive idea, says q writer i'll All Out
doors. .Alien-hearted, 1t takes Ms place
In the busy water world Of today. a
sign of barbarian supremacy of line.
Man has turned to it in his extreme
need, and has found it In n form or
another Mt the far North, OH the equa-
tor and in the southern seas, an. 1t
has given him, in return for proper
management, the stanch-hearted COM
radeship asked Of it Mt any imperited
moment. Rightly handled, the GAUGE
is perfectly safe. The light draft and
the buoyant resultant upward rise to
the seas, and the perpetual demand Of
perfect poise make 1t a thing for the
finer intelligence. and keep you alive
to the need Of the moment. An old
and picturesque character who had ca
noed on many waters, sale that he
had Jared well or all voyages until
his canoe had scented u rapid" and
then no man could bold her. Breaking
loose from all spirit Of control. she
was off after that falling water, eve
taking a daisy field cross lots in her
tu.nultuous race. His fabulous story
holds a grain of truth.
Each canoe You handle has Its own
temperament, and there must needs
he n period Of adjustment between you.
First Of all, show that You have no
fear, for there is d heady willfulness
oftentimes In that beautiful curve of
the bow, something Of the animal ma
ture that needs u quick understand
ing and n short curb of. power.

Justment by means of simple bu
clever cutting. 1t is a summer coat
In cut us well as in material, with
loose-hanglng. shapely body and mod.
erately full peplum. 1t is decorated
with a small scroll design. done in the
narrowest of white braid. and hav.
ing the effect Of embroidery. This de-
sign appears at each side of the front
and at each side Of the back. The
coat opens with revers. which are
Overlaid by other revers of soft pique
in white. 1t fastens with two large
pearl buttons. The designer has al
lowed his fancy some license in fin
fishing the sleeves in an unexpected
fashion. The flaring cuffs of blue are
supplemented with additional inside
cuffs of white pique.
A suit of this kind calls for a wash
blouse of equal elegance. and nothing
commonplace will do. The sailor hat,
worn with it, is of fine black and
white satin made in the hest manner
Of the milliner. A fine Panama is in
the same class and might be worn with
it. In an outfit of this kind one Is
dressed well enough for almost any
demand the summer may make. There
is nothing better in suits.
