TURTLES AS TONNES PETS
Themselves With Captured
Tortoises.

London.-During lulls in the fight
ing on the Tigris British soldiers off
duty found 1t very hard to amuse
themselves, according to Edmund
Gambler, the British press representa-
tive In Mesopotamia.
At one time when the British force
intrenched near Ell Hannah, because
the Turkish position was too strong to
be taken by direct frontal attack, the
soldiers found themselves on a narrow
strip of ground with the Tigris on one
side and salt marsh on the other.
The soldiers enjoyed bathing In the
salt marshes, and favorite sport was
catching tortOises. A Tommy Atkins
would tie a string around the leg Of his
pet and put him up on the parapet of
the trenches to Craze while he fought
the enemy.
The pet of one of tlae soldiers. q
Scotsman. found too little food on the
parapet, and died. The body of the
victim was gravely buried by the sol.
diers with an Identification disk about
its neck.

Many Reasons Why II 10 an Abomina.
ton When II 10 Worn on
the Street.

A long dress in the house, on we'll
swept carpet. is all very well-we do
not deny it's gracefulness-but a long
dress on the street is an abOminatiOn.
1t Is in your own way; 1t Is In the
way of everybody else. If we hold 1t
up, we look like a washerwOman
turned forepart behind, and 1t draws
all our clothes forward In way which
would destroy the grace of a NinOn
de rEnclOs. Everybody behind us can
see the lining of the skirt and notice
the frayed braid. for braid Is always
frayed ON a long dress, and take OBJ
servations on our petticOat and stock
ings and the tops Of our boots.
We have no hands to help ourselves
with-One has to hold the muff or
parasol, as the season may be. and the
other is employed with the train.
If we let it drag, either 1t Is trodden
off in the course Of half an hours
promenade, or else six feet of the side
walk behind us Is not utilized. for the
pedestrians must fall back, or plant
their feet on that moving mass of ruff
fies and fiuting and cigar stumps and
silk fringe and street refuse, and thus
win for themselves the uncOnquerable
hatred of the wearer; for, although
we all know that long dresses on the
street Are a nuisance, and that people
cannot avoid stepping on them, we
are ALWAYS indignant when they are
stepped on.

London.-In a recent visit by Eng
lish newspaper correspondents to the
grand fleet the most interesting point
elected was the extraordinary sudden
ness of modern sea fighting. There
were instances of a fight beginning be-
fore the ventilators were closed down
and the strangest Of all, story of the
battle Of the DOgger bank, where a
boy was sent out to clean something on
one of the turrets and he was forgotten
in the hurry and the turret closed.
The boy lay fiat on the top through
the fight, and he is one Of the few per-
sons. officers and men. In the whole af-
fair who actually saw the battle, and
the only one who could give his whole
attention to the sight, as he had moth
ing else to do. That boy will have q
great story to tell when he is an old

USES OF GABERDINE.
FABRIC Is EMPLOYED IN VARIETY
OF cARMENTs.
Handsome and Dependable, Il Has
Full Right to lts Popularity
Sketch Shows One Of the Lat
est Tailored Models.

Gaberdine is a fabric leader this
year. 1t Is used for suits, coats.
dresses and separate skirts. and Is
shown In all the seasons fashionable
shades. 1t is a very dependable fab
ric. and deserves its popularity. Cab
ardine is tight-wOven, with fine
hard twill, and while its texture Is
soft, 1t generally holds "press" well.
and is therefore admirable for the
manipulated skirts and dresses de-
velOped this season.
The smart suit here illustrated en-
plOys gaberdine as its choice of fab
RIGS. The well-fitted skirt, which has
abundant fullness without exaggerat-
ed flare, is laid in wide box plaits, two
in front, one centering the back. This
type Of skirt accords with advance
style bulletin. For the early fall a gen.
orally clOser-reefed assemblage of ap-
parel is looked for.
The tailored model shown In the
sketch requires six yards of gaber-
dine. Three-Quarters of yard Of

the back Is not objected to. II 1t Is
desired that the revers and collar
piece be seamless, double this guam
tity is necessary. Two yards of 80
inch-wide silk are needed to line the
coat.
The suit as designed is of dove
gray, with collar and buttons match
ing in shade.
AS will be noted, two-inch bias
piece of the suits fabric trims and
gives body" to the skirts edge, and
at each plait a matching bias section
Is set on to a depth Of ten inches. and

The slashed revers and collar are

with stable saddle-bag pockets. The

TREES OLDER THAN PYRAMIDS

5000 Years.

San Francisco.-One Of the wonders
of the ancient world, and probably
the greatest Of them, is the pyra-
mids of Egypt. And yet some Of the
giant sequoias Of California that are
now thrifty trees had bark on them
a foot thick when Cheops began build
ing the great pyramid that bears his
name.
Beneath the shadow Of the pyra-
mids Napoleon said to his troops !:

thousand and even ten thousand years
old.
The oldest living things in the world

Nothing is more painful to the eye

VARIOUS DESIGNS IN Wells
Perhaps the Most PopuIar-Many
Match the Hat In Color.

Loose, flowing wells are worn. Some
are made circular, while others are
draped. The circular veil, with a
round opening in the center. which fits
over the crown of the hat, Is well
liked. The lacy designs with woven
scroll patterns are especially attrac-
tive. Some of these wells are gathered
on to an elastic band. allowing IL to
be adjusted over the crown Of the hat.
Some hang in straight lines to the
shoulders. while others are finished
with q ruche or band, which may be
caught around the throat.
There is a marked tendency toward
the use of extensive wells. The ex-
tensive use Of color in millinery af-

Possibly because Of her successful
