Lines that give an effect of slender
ness make the plainest frocks or suits
intensely interesting to women whose
figures have lost that longed-for at
tribute of youth. Line and quality
they are the first consideration in the
American gentlewoman's clothes after
she has reached "the age of discretion
and becomes severely discriminating.
She will take the simplest affair in
street frock or suit, if it possesses
what she requires in these regards,
and tone it up to high degree of dis
tinction by means of bit of neck
wear, a furpiece, and a hat that
matches it in trimness. Designers oc-
cupy themselves in working out clothes
that are to give to the figure long and
very graceful lines and their artful
achievements compel us to admire
them.
The suit shown in the picture above
is a case in point; built on almost
straight lines and plain even to the
exclusion of buttons. The skirt is mar

the rule in suits. 1t has barely enough
width to allow comfortable stride in
walking and is finished with a five-inch

Only three of the many charming
STYLES in hats, made for the girl who
finds herself at last grown up, can be
shown in our illustration. But these
three styles have been found great IA
yorites with the younger women whose
Individual tastes and preferences In
matters of dress, are more clearly de-

young intuitions are keen and 1t will
have to be conceded that no millinery
could express more definitely the spirit

many debutantes have approved.
The hat at the left of the group is

SOLDIERS TAKE TO FOOTBALL
intercollegiate Game Makes Hit With
Army Boys In Porto Rico, De-
spite Heat and Sand.

Football, not soccer, but the man-to-
man intercollegiate type. has been
started in Porto Rico and the soldiers
are taking to it like ducks to water,
despite heat and sandy playing field
that elsewhere would be considered too
heavy for fast team work.
The First battalion of the Three
Hundred and Seventy-fourth regiment
started the football craze late in Sep
TENDER by challenging the rest of the
regiment. Neither side scored, but two
broken noses were reported among the
casualties. This was the first blood
drawn by the warriors and it added
such zest to the life of the camp that
the Three Hundred and Seventy-Third
regiment has taken up the game.
AS a result of the interest in the
football games the athletic director has
added the sport to the regular program
of "play day" events for the troops.
This is probably the first appearance
Of football in the tropics.

"They Drink of Our Sweetness"
We see the summer flowers, the gold
enrods, the black-eyed Susans, or OK
eyed daisies as they are often
called.
''We see the wild asters and we see
the countless beautiful summer wild
flowers which grow all about. In fact.
we are here from the spring until late
In the autumn, when the weather is
beginning to get cold"
"Then," said the purple clover, 1--WE
are willing to take our winters sleep.
For we are satisfied that we have seen
a great deal of the year, as we have
when we have seen the spring, sum-
mer and autumn.
"It's so beautiful to watch the leaves
turn into, such gorgeous colors. They
are red, orange, golden and crimson,
and we can look up at them and send
our sweetness through the air, SO we
can let them know we think they are
lovely"

purple clover, "for, in addition to be-
ing lucky in the length of time we
have upon this very nice old earth, we
do a great deal of good, too"
II know what you mean," said the
pink clover.
And all the other clover flowers
nodded their heads, waited a sweet,
sweet breath of their fragrance, and
said:
eve know what the purple clover
means"
eyes, said the purple clover, you
all know what I mean, for you all
know that our friends, the humble
bees, scatter our seeds about and make
us grow again. We make delicious
food for animals and they say that the
Rabbit family and even the CRATES
In the zoo absolutely adore clover"
"Thats what they say" agreed the
pink clover. EYES," the bumblebees
see to it that we keep on growing up
year after year, and of course the
farmers plant clover fields, too. But /
do believe that the bumblebees are as
fine workers as they can be-"
ssThey are known all over as the
Busy Bees" said the purple clover.
"They do deserve their names. They
drink Of our sweetness, they also scat
ter our sweetness about.
"The butterflies love us, too. They're
very fond of us. And I've even known
Of children who could tell you about
the sweetness of the clover"
T'ye known of them, too" said the
pink clover.
"Let's call ourselves the flowers Of
the season we're living In" suggested
the purple clover. "For instance,
when we're around in the spring, let's
call ourselves Spring Flowers, and
when summer comes. let us change our
name to Summer Flowers, and now
that the autumn. has come and the cold
days are fast coming nearer and near
er, let us call ourselves Autumn Flow

ats a fine idea," said the pink clio
yer, and all the other flowers nodded
their heads.
"We will still let people call us the
Glover family whenever they see us,
as that is our right family name, but
we ourselves will have some special
names, and just now we're the Au-
tumn Flowers" the purple clover
ended.

An Experiment.

Wet a piece of wrapping paper and
dry it near the stove. When dry, lay
it upon a vanished table and rub 1t
briskly with a piece of India rubber.
Soon it will become electrified and
when you toss 1t against the wall or a
mirror 1t will stick some time. Tear
tissue paper into one-eighth inch
square bits, and the electrified paper
will draw the bits to it. Place a tea
tray upon three tumblers and lay the
electric paper on it-touch the tray
and you will get spark.
