sic with Miss Pearson in that film.
Not that Miss Pearson was really
angry; she could hardly keep from
laughing as she mussed up Mr.. Cum
mings hair, made scars on his cheeks
and pulled his collar off.
Mr.. Cummings insists he was never
SO thoroughly mauled in his life. The
fact that the star who was doing it
wasn't angry did not detract from its
effectiveness.
Being naturally gallant, Cummings
didn't return the compliment" with as
much zest as II his opponent had been
a man. Then, too, the star was his
wife, SO far as the picture was con
cerned, laboring under fit OF jeal-
ousy. But he did ward off the attacks
as well as possible and tear her gown
since the scenario called for it.
After It was all over, Mr. Cummings
sat down to get his breath. He confid-
ed to some other men in the cast that
when there is any scrapping to be
done hereafter he hopes it will be a
man. He would then feel at home and
more at liberty to return tit for tat

There are many bits Of feminine
1inery made of ribbon that are joys
to their possessors. Just now, Of all
of these, ribbon bags hold first place
in the hearts of those who have beau
tiful things, and they are of all sizes
and shapes and for all sorts of pur-
poses. That badge Of patriotism and
usefulness, the knitting bag-is made
of wide ribbons, in ample sizes, to
carry the yarns and knitting needles
that are like Mary's lamb. For every
where the lady goes the knitting bag
goes too.
Then there are the wrist bags that
carry handkerchief and coin purse,
powder and powder puf-and quite
aikely q small mirror-or other Of the
lndispensables Of life for the girls Of
today. They are made Of wide rib
hons, or narrower widths set together
ITO make sufficient width. They are in
gay. soft colors in stripes, and in all
sorts of lovely brocades and printed
flower patterns.
Some of the new wrist bags are
made with mountings in gilt or silver,
such as are used for leather bags, but
= far greater number are gathered on
narrow ribbons that serve to close and
carry them. The bags on mountings
aro nearly always lined with plain.

serving. With u sprig Of mint or a
section of lemon the delicacy Of the
draught is increased.
The juices Of various berries make
delicious shrub and the fresh juice
added to water using Il pint Of juice
to two of water and adding sugar to
taste, chilled and served with cracked
ice is most refreshing.
Grape juice bottled the year before
is welcomed as a hot weather drink,
it may also be used in s%herbets, ices
and various desserts and pudding
auces.
Cocoa or chocolate strip may be
made and kept for weeks in the ice
chest, a little added to a glass of cold
milk, with a spoonful of cream or a
sprinkling of cinnamon gives variety.
Such a drink is not only refreshing, it
is nourishing. Iced coffee is another
popular drink, add a pint of black
coffee to a quart Of cream, sweeten
to taste and serve in glasses with
whipped cream or freeze and serve in
glasses topped with whipped cream.
Iced tea which is recommended is
prepared from q mixture Of black and
green tea, ice and plenty of water with
sugar and lemon to be added as it Is
served. Raspberry shrub is one of
the delightful fruit juices which is
so much enjoyed. Cover berries with
vinegar, using four quarts Of berries
and two quarts of good cider vinegar,
cover and let them stand for three
days in a cool place, then strain and
add four more quarts of berries, let
them stand three days and strain as
before. Then put the Juice into d pre-
serving kettle with a pound of sugar
to each pint of juice, boil and skim,
after boiling five minutes it may be

Logan berries, blackberries or almost
any berry, good for fruit juice, may be
treated in this manner
Coffee is another delightful drink
served cold. Add whipped cream to
the coffee poured into a glass a third
full of ice and half filled with coffee.
This is also sweetened by each indi-
vidual.

while new Riga might be Bremen. It
has non of the happy-go-lucky Sla-
vonic air about it, and SO, for the tour
list, it is disappointing. Before the
wal German was the language of it's
business and German was the idlom
Of it's streets and homes. Official Riga
was Russian, and, as Riga is the seat
Of the governor general Of the Baltic
provinces, this official element was Of
much significance.
For the most part, Riga is q very
modern city. Its older buildings have
been torn down to make way for struc-
lures more up-tO-date, more suited to-
the prosperity of a business city. It
is situated on the River Duena, ten
miles above the. mouth Of the Gulf of
Riga, and it is bound to the Baltic by1
canals. 1t has princes Of finance and
trade, and they have lined many of its|
avenues with modern villas and pail
aces. AS an example of the city'G;
growth, it may be mentioned that Rigai
erected more than 1900 new business
and apartment buildings during a re-,
cent year and that most of these build
ings were equipped with elevators,
open plumbing, vacuum cleaning, CEN
trail refrigerating and steam heating
plants.
A strong and varied industry has
grown up in the port city. Machinery,
railway cars, lumber, leather, candles,E
tiles, glass, tobacco and other products
are turned out in its numerous fac
tories. The annual value of the srti-
cles manufactured in Riga exceeds
$30,O00,000.
The average value of Riga's exports
is well over $35,OOO,OOO. Its importsi
total about $3O,OOO,OO each year. The;
exports include cereals, fax, flaxseed,.
eggs, lumber and butter. It's chief JIM
ports are machinery, cotton, coal and
groceries. 1t has a thrifty, well-to-do.

in all Russia, q city Of merchant
princes, Of bursting warehouses and
miles of crowded docking, of vigorous
Teutonic architecture and cosmopoli-
tan organization, with a hurrying,
tense business life that finds its oun
terpart in New York and Hamburg,
lies near the head Of the Gulf Of Riga,
a few miles northeast of Mitau. Riga
is a great commercial city. 1t stands
third among Russia's seaports, and
second among all the ports upon tha
Baltic sea, where commercial cities
have been growing and building for
centuries. The city is 1863 miles south
west Of Petrograd, and is filled with
the spirit of modern business. 1t is a
main gateway into vast Russian him
terlands, and is, probably, the most up
to-date city to be found from Vladi-
NOstok to Libau.
Riga is second only to Petrograd I'M
population and industry. Germani
merchants Of the thirteenth century,
laid the foundations Of Its commercial
renown. 1t was founded in 1901, and
many German %colonists soon found
their way to the new city, attracted
thither by the many commercial .privi-'
leges granted by its founder. Riga be-

of the Hanseatic league, the great
merchant trust of the Middle Ages

and trade connections; boats from all
parts Of the world ran in and out Of
its river harbor, and it enjoyed the
proud development of a German "free
city,"
Near the middle Of the sixteenth;
century, Riga passed into the power
of the king of Poland. The headlong
Gustavus Adolphus Of Sweden brought
up in his course of conquest with a
shock before its walls in 1901, and, on
ly after a long hard siege, was he
able to take the city. Riga passed to
the control of the Russians in 171O.

Nainsook Union Suit.

The fact that women are going in 81
strong for athletics has brought about
an interesting thing in underwear for
the feminine sex. The strenuous ex-
ercise Is hard on fine underwear, and,
therefore, there is being made an ath-
letc union suit Of nainsook. This is
fashioned much on the same order as
the mems. Striped muslins, dotted
nainsooks in both white and pink are
also favored materials for this new
garment. A narrow edging Of cluny or
valenciennes trims the top. At the
waistline at the back there is an insert
of knitted material to give plenty Of
reaching room. The suit buttons down
the entire front and extends beyonf
the knees.

A Patriotic Costume.

The girl who would be patriotic yet
exclusive and smart will select one Of
the new navy blue velvet sports coats.
These are immensely the thing and are
very stunning indeed, double-breasted,
with big white pearly buttons, and with
patch pockets below the belt at either
side. Worn with a skirt of white linen
and a sports hat in blue and red, they
produce the gallant red, white and blue
color scheme, and also a costume past
criticism for correctness and chic ef-
fects.

twenty was selling meat pies in the
streets of Moscow when he attracted

Greats fuvorite. On the death Of the
latter Menschikof succeeded to the
place of honor with his sovereign and
