A wide border of the striped satin fin
ishes the bottWn, and narrow bands OF
it are placed above the border. They
are all cut on the bias of the goods
and finished with tiny machine-stitch-
ed hens. Besides their decorative
value these bands give to the
skirt the required flare at the bottom.
The bodice is plain and full, fin
ished with a cape collar opening in
V at the front. The sleeves are full
and long, with shaped, faring cuffs
that extend over the hands. They are
joined to the sleeves with narrow
bands of satin. The bodice and skirt
are in one piece and Joined by a
wide girdle of the striped satin.

Not at All the Kind of Work to Which
We in This Country Are
Accustomed.

Haymaking in the Swiss Alps is pur-
sued under peculiar difficulties and
dangers. The thrifty Swiss farmer
turns every bit of ground to advan-
tage. If few square yards anywhere
can be made or reclaimed the labor
is not grudged. The farmer makes
the very soil. He builds terraces along
steep inclines, lines them with blocks
of stone, and then packs earth upon
them.
Along the very edge of precipices
the Swiss haymaker goes in search of
grass. clinging to rocks with iron
clamps upon. his feet. He hangs on
the side of the cliff and mows down
n few tufts of grass on craggy shelves
here and there.
During the two months of hay har-
rest he descends TO the village only
three or four times to renew his sup
ply of food, and maRy times he mas

his hat nervously. Its because OF
what people are saying, isn't it?'
"What are they saying"

please yourself" she replied, with
affected Indifference.
Dick turned without word and
swung out into the road that led down
town. He could not see the flood of
tears that followed his departure. Nor
could he know that it was his friend
ship with Lima, retailed by the town
gossips, that was the cause of the
change in Doris attitude toward him.
Lima had tainted Dick of late.
Why didn't he go for Sancho? she had
asked him. Dick bore it patiently
Some time she would give him his
clue, and then-well, AuSha would
know what sort of man the sheriff
was.
He had his reward sooner than he
expected. For, as the girl ended her
song that night, and came tripping
through the audience, she stopped an
instant at Dicks side.

A cape-collar and two collars with
jabots are pictured here. The cape
collar is of white organdie with seal
loped and embroidered edge and a
band of hemstitching. Between the
hemstitching and the edge there are
little wreaths of embroidered Bios
SONS centered with eyelet work.
The collars with jabots are made OF
white crepe de chine, finished with pi-
cot edges and hemstitching. In one
of them large embroidered dots are
done in color, Copenhagen blue and
light green being among the favorites.
This collar opens in a long point at the
front, and the jabot is gathered to a
band. The other collar is an effective
pattern for either organdie or crepe.
The frills are plated and finished
with picOt-edge. The V opening at the
throat is short and the jabOt fastens
with small, oblonS pearl buttons, down
the front.

In Woman S Realm
As an Addition to the Summer Wardrobe There Is Nothing Better
Than Frock of White Geogette-Desgn Shown Pretty
T and Easy to Make-Some Little Accessories That
Give Appearance of Goodness. ...,:...

Frocks of white georgette continue
to delight those who find it necessary
to supplement the summer wardrobe
with an extra dress or so. Women
who are discriminating find in the re-
finement of this sheer, soft fabric, in
white especially, charm that is not
to be resisted. The designer of the
pretty model shown had midsummer
days in mind and trimmed it with the
coolest-looking of all color combina-
tons. tt is banded with green and

Hats of Crepe.

Hats of georgette crepe, often faced
with a fine straw, seem to have taken
the fancy of the well-dressed Amerl-
can woman, for there have been seen
any number of these hats in the last
few weeks. These crepe hats. OF pink,
blue. purple or yellow hues, are not
bright tones, but colors that, while not
pastel, are a bit dulled from the pri-
mary or secondary pure tones. The
hats are backed by fine silk, which
makes it almost impossible TO tell at a
little distance that the hat is of crepe.

of the sheerest and softest materials,
mere clouds above the world of fab
RIGS.
After a glance through the assort-
ments of blouses and neckwear, organ
die, crepe georgette and crepe de
chine are firmly impressed upon the
mind in materials. Hemstitching, eye
let work and embroidery and fash
ion for contrasting colors in trimmings
have developed into the strongest fea-
lures in the decoration of summer
blouses and neckwear. There is no
more to be said, for the pretty story
of these summer styles is finished.

the hay is carefully gathered into a
cloth or net and carried down to the
first little meadow. Here it is stacked
and weighted down with large stones,
to keep it from blowing away.
The mower returns to the mountain
in winter, when the ground is snow
covered, and takes with him a little
sledge. Putting the hay on the sledge,
and seating himself in front, he shoots
to the valley with the swiftness of ain
arrow. The hay of the Alps is gar
nered.

BATTLE OF BUSTERS

Honus Wagner tells this one
on Artie Butler and Jimmy Viox:
Before Butler was traded to
the st. Louis Cardinals he
PLAYED short for Pittsburgh. Ar
thur and Viox had keen battle
for a regular infield berth. One
game Butler played short, Niox
second. Artie fell chasing a
Texas Lacquer. Next day he
slipped on a wet field.
, "Down again. remarked
VioX, sarcastically.
"a few days later a ball took
bad bound, hit Viox in the
, mouth, knocked two teeth out
and put Jimmy on his back.
, "'Who's down now, you fresh
busher?' blurted Butler.
"Yes, I'm down, but l was
. knocked down. replied Viox. i
, didn't fall down, like YOU"

Fred Toney holds the record for
pitching the greatest number of sue

Rinse the Hair Well.

1t is almost better not to wash the
hair at all than to leave soap in 1t.
There is no better proof that the Oil
has not been thoroughly washed than
to have the soap stick tenaciously
when we try to rinse it out. 1t is held
by the oil and will not come out until
more soap has been put on and Their

and ripped the shirt from the sheriff,s
back. He stopped beside the stream
and, dipping up a hatful of water,
poured it over Dicks chest. Dick
shivered; the water was icy cold.

went away. The sun appeared. Slow
ly it climbed above the horizon. Dick
began to grow thirsty. The sweat
streamed down his face and bare
chest. About ten Sancho reappeared.
"Warmer?" he jeered, and held his
water-bottle to Dicks lips. He with
drew it the next moment and emptied
it over his chest.
Dick groaned invOluntarily. Busters
were forming where the icy water had
wetted him. Beneath him he saw the
cool waters of the stream. He writhed
in his bonds as he tried to reach it.
He opened his parched and cracking
lips toward it.
When he opened his eyes again he
saw Sancho with Lima beside the
horses. The girl was pleading with
the outlaw.
Release him, and I go with thee,
Sancho," he heard Lima say.
The outlaw looked at her-then
nodded.
II shall give him water and set him
Free" said Lima, and went down by the
water side with her pitcher, while
Sancho strolled meditatively toward
Dick.
. "Warm?' he queried, tauntingly,
gloating over his victim. Then, see
ing that Dick was beyond his malice,
he raised his revolver slowly.
Lima, coming up from the stream,
saw him aim it at Dicks head. With
scream she flew at him.
Sancho laughed, and, with his free
hand, held hers down. And Dick saw
the deadly revolver muzzle begin to
cover his head again.
Sancho waited. He was in no hurry,
and he wanted his enemy to taste
death in all it's fulness. But the girl
was becoming a nuisance. He flung
her from him, and, as she fell fiat in
the sand he aimed again.
At that moment Dicks attention was
directed toward a singular CLEAN of
light among the sandhills. There was
| nothing strange about that. The sun
might be playing upon stone. But,
| again, the light looked somehow like
| the CLINT of a rifle barrel.
Dick saw the outlaws finger close
on the trigger, saw Lima raise herself
and stretch out her clasped hands to-
ward Sancho in moaning appeal. Then
the sharp crack of rifle sounded
among the rocks. The trigger finger
stiffened But Sancho's bullet plowed
through the sand yard from Dicks
head, and Sancho stiffened toppled,
and pitched forward.

her lovers body. And that was the

The cabin came into sight, perched
on an elevation among the pains. A
little stream of water ran beside 1t.
The long ride across the desert was
nearly ended. Dicks pony, seeming
the water, pricked up his ears and
broke into a canter. Dick dismounted
ina thorn clump near the cabin and
crept cautiously forward to where
candle shone in window.
He crawled toward an angle of the
shack, his revolver in his hand. Sud
denly the door was flung open, and
bullet hummed past Dicks ear as the
rifle in the doorway rang.
Dicks rush was too quick Tor the
bandit. In an instant the sheriff had
disarIned him. SanchO looked up into
Dicks revolver.
His hands went up automatically.
He scowled at his captor.

he felt Lina's arms tighten upon his
neck from behind. At the same in
slant Sancho turned and dashed the
weapon from his hand. AS Dick strug-
gled in vain a coil of rope frightened
about his body, pinioning him. The
outlaw rolled him to the floor and Sc
cured his legs with the end of the
coil.
Sancho picked the sheriff up in his
arms and carried him to the edge OF
the stream. He left him there, went
away, and returned shortly with NAL
let and some long iron pegs. Very de-
liberately he hammered them fast into
the sun-baked earth. Then he fastened
Dicks arms and legs to the pegs.
"Good-by till tomorrow" said San
cho mockingly, gazing into Dicks up
