DOGS CHASE BUCK INTO
 MAIN STREET OF BALTIC

Baltic was treated to an unusual sight early Wednesday evening when a big buck deer, chased by four dogs down Main street, took refuge under the stable of Thomas Burke. The buck. with four dogs at his heels, came tearing out of the brush at the north end of the town and turning down Main street, with his four-feot spread of ant lers glistening in the electric lights, took refuge under the barn. There was considerable excitement as the buck dashed through the street and two young men, Thomas Hussey and Nd ward Farrell, went to the animals res cue after he had been trapped under the barn.
 The animal fought back viciously and several times kicked his would-be cap- tors in the legs and stomach.

blue embroidery done in a cross
stitch with wool thread. A string
belt placed at the normal waistline
breaks the regularity of the pearl
buttons which suggest a panel. The
skirt. bowling to the demand of the
mode for the slender silhouette,
gives comfortable width by means of
a pleat at each side.
6635-Nothing is SO fresh and
becoming as striped showerproof
foulard in green and white. This
frock, cut in the favored chemise
pattern, is untrimmed save for bias
bound ruffles of the same material,
which outline a narrow crosswise
panel at the right side of the skirt,
and follow the left side from neck
line to hem. Hens are often irregu-
lar, even in the tub frock, SO these
ruffles smartly dangle in points one
inch below the bottom of the skirt.
A sash of green grosgrain ribbon
with picot edge marks a low
waistline and also ties in the slight

type of frock, developed in kasha

plainness emphasizes the braid trim

are particularly good this season
whether they constitute the entire
frock or merely serve as trimming.
This frock of Tuscan red crepe de
chine has a narrow skirt divided
with plated panels of matching
georgette, which hang below the
skirt at each side and to the knees

Suede and Patent Leather
Shoes Most POpular-Heels
Are of Varied Type.

~OR the last two years footwear
has played an increasingly prom
inent role in the mode, growing
ever more elaborate until the present
season discovers in every shop such a
multiplicity of trimmings and such
unusual combinations of colors and
materials that the woman of taste and
caution finds herself literally forced to
watch her step lest she lose her way in
this elaborate maze.
For example, she now selects as a
walking shoe for town wear either an
entirely plain or simply trimmed OK
ford shoe with medium heel, or the
slightly more elaborate type Of shoe-a
low street shoe. of black patent leather
and gray suede, with elastic inserts
and high patent leather Spanish heels
Still another walking shoe of the
more conservative type is an unusual
Oxford of suede and patent leather
with a broad, low. suede-covered heel
Heels OF varied types are seen among
the street shoes, including the leather
liar Cuban heel and finally the slender
Spanish heel, which is fraction lower
than the French heel.
For the afternoon quite simple slip
pers of suede or patent leather with
steel buckles are in the very best pos
sible taste. These are the favorites
OF the woman who seeks distinction in
dress. and they bid fair to displace the
ubiquitous strapped sandal These slip
pers of distinction seek the softer tones
OF suede, to- harmonize with frocks Of
the fashionable colors. Gray beige and
black are set off with steel buckles
while brown suede is combined with a
buckle Of bronzed steel
Black patent leather is also extremely
smart for the aftereno6n. particularly
when it is simply made and set off with
a Colonial buckle or an ornament of
cut steel beading The slipper that is
worn for formal afternoon occasions Is
invariably accompanied by the high
slender French heel.
The evening slipper is also at the turn
OF the road leading toward greater sim
plcity and whether il is made of satin
brocade or metal cloth It is likely to be
adorned with charming paste buckle, a
Jeweled rosette or fancy tongue.
While shoes for summer country wear
have not been slow to initiate even the
more extravagant whims of their urban
sisters. the best and more conserva tive
taste prefers the simpler summer shoe
These may be made OF buckskin. canvas
or glace kid, and while the more ex-
IRENE among them are apt to be COM
bined with black patent leather trim

hot weather. All the theories Of endur-
ance go into the waste heap when an
American June puts it's head over the
horizon. No woman thinks Of what the
rimesters say of rare days; she thinks
of what will be cool next to the skin
and what will stand the most washing
without deterioration.
The white blouse Is costly in the end,
but our weather demands something of
the kind, 1t is now offered as jumper
or in the old established manner that
tucks in under the skirt. Often the new
French knitted jumper, widely open over
neck and chest, is placed above the
tuck-in blouse as a sweater. The collar
rolls high. 1t is not an insignificant
affair. 1t intends to attract attention
to itself 1t does not show anything Of
the neck in the back, yet 1t does not
hug it in the harsh and awkward man
ner of the traditional coat collar. The
latter is a trying line to all but the

untouched with applied pieces of color.
If color variety there is it must be
woven in the material as a design.
Fabrics of sturdy texture and a ten
dency to stiffness when washed like
linen or pique are not advisable. The
rule for soft and clinging textures and
movement holds good for the summer.
The trial of crisp fabrics with hoops and
farthingales went no further than the
fringes of fashion. 1t never penetrated
further inland than the first line of de-
Tense, which consisted of debutantes and
stage folk, with a sprinkling of the
curious and easily led ladies. Why?
Because 1t did not suit our present
established mode of transportation and
activities. 1t is foolish to ''buck the
traffic in life movement as in street
movement.
There is somewhat of this underlying
philosophy of going along with the cur
rent that brings in the wash blouse for
