dispensabIe.

It is established that our most de-
lghtful fashions come from Paris, and
1t is becoming equally well established
that our sport apparel is English in cut
and fabric. We come to speak of the
English walking hat meaning the rath-
er close-fitting hat with a tall crown
curling up at the sides. English tweeds
and flannels are part of every sports
wOman's vernacular, as suits of these
materials are of her wardrobe. We
differentiate between the onlookers and
the real adherents, and recognize the
rights of the latter to be as plainly and
unbecomingly dressed as the most rig
orous exercise demands.
During the last year of the war the
knitted sport suits made by hand mp
peared, first in Switzerland at st. Nor
itz and such places where winter sports
abound. They were instantly accept
ed and We're boon to French and
Swiss makers also, who could thus en-
ploy remuneratively their long winter
evenings heretofore given over to lace
making or the fine embroideries, the
demand for which was interrupted by
war. Now the knitted suit Is indis-
pensable. The great vogue over here
for tricolette and jersey cloth has fur
ther stimulated this demand.
The wool Jerseys are ideal, for they
do not rumple or crush and come in
such splendid colors that every taste
may be gratified. Hunters green is n
favored color for some reason-it al
ways looks well and does not always
fade as do other brilliant and decided
shades. Nothing is more picturesque
than the fashion of topping white
skirts with jersey coats of the most
brilliant tones acknowledgement, yell
low, and scarlet seemingly preferred.
Undeniably they make gay color
splotches on the landscape and add to
the summer picture.
Less serviceable than the wool jer
seys are coats of fine faille and silk
poplin. They are as delicate and re-
fined as the most conservative woman
could ask, and come In such pretty, soft
colors as French blue and pale rose.
The coat usually has rather wide
sleeves which open over the blouse
sleeve underneath and are not too
tight. Deep revers cut away in front

We keep hearing the rumor that the
vest is passe-certainly 1t is passing, II
we judge by the signs of the times,
and unless 1t has revival will not be
here at all by fall. The sash, how
ever, has taken on new lease of life
and is to play an even more important
part in our costume than ever before.
AS to fringe, 1t is to be more exten1ive-
ly used than ever-in every depth and
wherever possible. The fringe band
ing is often seen trimming satin capes,
coats of camels' hair and dresses Of
taffetas and satin. This banding is
made by stitching the fringe on n strip
of satin at top and bottom, so that 1t
has the appearance of insertion when
used as trimming. Now and then one
finds color different from the dress
or cloak showing through the threads,
but this is not nearly so often used
as the palmer colored banding in blue
or black.

Chinese Railways Busy.

Latest reports indicate that the 5000
miles of government railways carry
annually more than 25.0OO.00O passen-
gers total of 1.0OO00O.OOO miles.
Thirty-seven per cent of the receipts
Of the government railways come from
the passenger service. On five of the
lines the passenger revenues exceed
those from transportation Of goods.
Ninety-five per cent Of the passenger
traffic is thlrd.class at an average fare
Of one cent mile. which means a
large amount Of travel by the poorer
classes.
Wide macadamized highways are
being constructed in the suburbs of

NICKEL BY NICKEL
Newspaper Man Dribbled His
Profit to Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought He Was to Make $2.65
Didn't End in Just That
Desired Way.

"a newspaper friend Of mine," said
Mr.. GOslington. tells me Of an un-
usual experience he has had, in fact is
still having with beggar.
"He met this beggar first about a
year ago. The circumstances attend
Ing this first meeting were novel and
interesting and my friend wrote lit
tie piece about 1t which was printed
In his newspaper and for which he
| received 50. AS he had given the
beggar nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was S2.95. But:
"a couple Of weeks later he again
met this beggar. who again asked for
nickel, request that my friend did
not feel warranted in refusing.
don't think he would have refused any
way. my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having proflted by
his original transaction with this beg
gar. he felt impelled to hand over this
second nickel promptly. thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $780,
ut wasn't long before my friend
discovered that this beggar lived some
where in his neighborhood and made
that part of the town his quarry for
now he used to meet him here and
there by intervals. Not always, by
any means. when they met did the
beggar approach him; commonly they
passed each other as any other two
might do, with no sign of recognition /;
but once in while the beggar would
ask for nickel, which always my
friend gave. In this way in the course
Of three months he gave up 30 cents,
thus reducing the net of that So to
$2.65. Then my friend had an idea.
He fOresaw that If this went on
indefinitely, as there seemed every in
dication 1t would do. the beggar would
get all of the SO, which to my friend
seemed scarcely reasonable. But he
did think that an even division would
be no more than right to the beggar.
and so when the SO got down to S2.65
he set aside. in his mind. S1.15 as a
drawing account to the beggar's credit
and he said to himself that when thus
the original fund had been evenly di.
vided he would stop giving and con-
slider that he had done the square
thing.

Ing a nickel that the beggar drew yes
terday, he has now drawn S14O, so
that now 1t is question of very few
weeks only, three or four at the ut
most. when the beggar will have drawn
his full share.
"Then. my friend says. he is CO.
ing to shut down and keep the rest
himself; but what l think he will do
will be to keep on paying till the
whole three dollars is gone. his orig
inal profit being thus wiped out COM
