= VERY country has its
r. freak fashions.
- This summer the United
States seemed to boast unusual
ly few; even the heavy furs Of
the preceding summer lost pres
tige. A New York actresses nose
} ring was probably the most sen-
sational bit Of adornment the
season can call its own.
But England, conservative
England, has its queer fashions,
too. For the benefit Of those
reformers who shudder at the
idea Of hoseless bathing 1t may
be announced that al the Eng
lish beaches are lined with
women folk either without
Stockings or with socks that
come we'll below the knee.
One scarcely expects the outre
or the bizarre in millinery to
come from the country that
idolizes its Bond street as Pa
risians do the Rue de la Paix.
However, true II is that this
Robin Hood chapeau could have
come from no other part Of the
world than the land Of Sher-
wood forest and the Lincoln
green.
This hat is Of the true Lincoln
green itself. The brim is not so
suggestive Of the chapeaux Of
Will Scarlet, Little John, and
all the rest, but the crown, with
its dangling balls, is a good
imitation of the hats Sherwood
society considered au fat.
The crown is loosely draped,
something like q TESTERS cap.
The part that would be the peak
of such a cap, in this case is
weighted down by a series Of
plush balls in graduated sizes,
that dangle on a cord and rap
the spine Of the wearer merrily
with each stride.

- TrOtt, Kentucky. He was tall
and lean and shambling. His
legs were bulging and weak. He
always wore frock coat. a high hat,
and yellow kid gloves. When l tell you
that the period was 1850 and that the
place was the frontier mining camp Of

what a sensation this costume stirred
up.
When Trott FIRST strolled into La Porte
from nobody knows whers-the sight
OF his dandihed clothes evoked a howl
OF merriment from a group OF miners
One of them playfully tried to kick

tormentors found themselves lying on
their backs. slowly coming to their

blackened eyes and athwart broken and
swollen noses.
