DAME NATURES. LITTLE JOKE
Old Lady Seems to Have Played Fa-
vorites In Arranging Some Clt-
matte Conditions.

Nature plays a cruel joke in the DIFF
ference Of altitude of India and Tibet.
Had they been reversed one would
have said that 1t was providential
arrangement. The traveller who crosses
the Himalayas from Cashmere has to
climb nearly twice as much as the trav-
eler who comes from the north, be-
cause while India averages only per.
haps 100 feet above sea level Tibet
averages $4,000 feet, and for this rea-
son is called the Roof of the World.
Now, had India had this elevation,
south of the mighty range of the Him
alayas. and thus shielded from the
north. as well as nearer to the eQua-
tor, her climate would probably have
been as temperate as Britain, and one
OF the healthiest in the world. While
had Tibet lain as low as India in
stead of being the dreariest, most in
hospitable of lands. it would, by rea-
son Of its latitude, be one Of the most
habitable countries In the world.

Dress hats for midsummer, as COM
pared to other millinery, are as orchids
compared to other lovely blossoms.
These millinery blooms are the most
fragile. most splendid Of all, the fairest
and the shortest lived. They are mid
summer interpreted in hats by de-
signers whose fancies are unhampered
by thoughts Of anything but beauty.
They look to the sheerest fabrics and
to the most beautiful colors to trans
late their thoughts into millinery.
In the group Of three hats made for
the heart of summer, two are of print
ed geOrgette and one of plain geor-
gette in the sheerest quality. The same
wide-hrimmed, graceful shapes ap-
pear developed in laces, malines and
nets. Brims usually have lines in
flowing curves about the face and
crowns are often flexible. The hat at
the right of the group Is lovely ex-
ample. A vague flower motif against
black ground provides color There
Is no trimming except the sash Of vel
vet ribbon, in one of the cOlOrs in the
crepe, that is brought about the crown
and tied in bow at the back.
In the hat at the left there is
hint of sport styles in the covering. 1t
is of white crepe georgette with gay
figures of Rln-tin-tin and Nanette dis
porting themselves over its surface. A
covered silk cord with small tassels at
the ends dispOses itself in a careless
bow on the crOwn-to answer pres
ent" in case any one asks for tho
whereabouts of trimming.

LEGENDS OF THE elephant
Many and Wonderful Are the Tales
Told Concerning Its Virtues
and lts Wisdom,

Naturally we talked first about ole.
plants. Of which he was almost az
childishly fond as I. But in contrast
to my poor knowledge, he possessed
the rich lore of man who had not
only observed hath for many years
with loving interest, but had also lis
tened to the tales of mahout and shi-
kari from Sam to Ceylon. He poured
out hundred gifts from an apparent
ly inexhaustible store. He told of
"round-ups" in Burma, when the wild
herds are driven into gigantic corrals
to be tanned for the service of puny
man. Then. turning to the names be-
slowed by dOting mahouts on these
colossal darlings, he pointed out that
in this nomenclature of affection Lo-
tus, or Lily or Pearl was only COM
mOnplace, while even Silver Star and
Golden Joy seemed inadequate. Folk
tales, too, he repeated, among them
the narrative Of the wise elephant
that used to be sent out from q GER
tain city the morning after the kings
death to bring back In its bejeweled
hOwdah the man it had chosen as sue
cessor to the throne. Finally, Just
as we were leaving the bank of the
stream. he spoke of the part played by
the elephant in the story Of him who
became the Light Of Asia. Before the
birth of Gautama. destined to be the
savior of mankind. his mother dream
ed that six-rayed star from heaven
entered her right side. and of this
star the token was a white elephant
with six perfect tusks. Again. in the
prophetic vision of his father. the Sec
Ond Fear was ten huge silver-tusked
elephants, Simplifying the ten great
gifts of wisdom. In strength whereof
the prince should shake the world. In
Buddha's middle years an enemy
sought to take his life by sending
against him raging elephant, but

If you would forget that there is
anything in the world but joy, spend a
little time looking at the party frocks
IN which the summer girl will dance
some hours away. If these dance
frocks fourished in the daytime, bees
and butterflies might pursue them, for
they certainly borrow from flowers
their color and piquancy and sunshine
glimmers in their brocades and en-
broideries. Evening gowns indulge in
sumptuous materials, in gold and sill
yer tissue. in rich embroideries and
twinkling sequins and all kinds Of
shimmering things-including the new
shot taffetas. Finally they turn to
tulle and laces or sheer crepe A world
OF fine and fragile fabrics belongs to
them.
The two pretty party frocks shown
here are Of the simpler designs, one
OF them In white and the other In
black with embroidery and brocade
sash in metal and colOred byocade The
white frock has a slim underslip of
embroidered satin. draped about the
ankles and full draperies of fine net
ending in points about the bottom,
hang over 1t. A vestee Of twinkling
sequins Slls the V-shaped opening of
the bodice-the net makes a filmy
drapery that falls from the shoulder.
For lovely finishing touch a narrow
ribbon hangs in loops and ends from
the girdle.

Petticoat Substitute.

The long, slim suit and dress skirts
almost make the wearing of petticoats
an impossibility. But we may be just
as modestly and comfortably clad, for
there are the long boomers to take
their place. These boomers or pan
talets are usually chosen in dark suit
colors and may be had ankle length or
shorter and with or without rufies.
A new style has an accordion plated
piece set in just above the shoe tops.
For summer the short silk jersey
boomers in flesh and pink with un-
even insets of lace at the knee, are
perhaps the newest. Camisoles Of silk
jersey with lace or embroidered in
pink and blue silk are also very new.

Black georgette over a satin slip
serves for the dignifled gown at the
left OF the picture. Its construction is
so simple that the picture tells about
all that can be told. 1t has a very
plain bodice with round neck, bound
with brocade. The skirt is gathered
to this and hangs straight with an
overhanging panel at the front that
Is embroidered near the bottom. The
same embroidery appears at the sides
below the hipline. A very gorgeous
sash of heavy brocaded ribbon makes
the wide girdle with one long hanging
end.
