Spanish Shawls Are Worn.
Spanish shawls made of dyed filet
silk lace with very deep fringe all
round are worn with richly embroid-
cred ninon dresses, cut straight with
a shallow oval at the throat and no
sleeves. These dresses are of shell
pink, Nile green, bronze or chocolate,
are shaded, and the shawls are tinted
to match.
Furs are used undyed with shaded
silks and kasha cloths. Persian lamb
is especially beautiful in its natural
state, gray shading to iron gray and
then to black. A coat made of iron
gray moire, run with steel threads, in
a conventional design. eight inches
deep around the Cossack skirt, Is
hemmed with undyed Persian lamb to
depth of 1S inches; the immensely
wide "jam-pot" collar Is Of the same,
and the broad, straight cuffs show a
narrower strip Of embroidery above
the fur. The lining of this coat Is IRON
gray chiffon with an all-over pattern of
steel threads.
Many new coats are made without
fur trimming, but are worn with err
mine, chinchilla or sable ties, which
fit close round the neck and have fiat
tabs down the front. These are the
latest form of fur neckpiece.
Sleeve Of Black Lace.
There's the sleeve of black lace that
starts at the hat brim and, falling over
the shoulders, runs down the arm to
end in a snug wristlet. Curious and
charming is this invention, which was
suggested by the Spanish mantilla.
The Spanish flounce is a prevailing
| feature of fashion. So are Spanish
earrings embroidered shawls, tortoise

the very first game of base ball
ever played in this country. But
surely Cartwright didn't invent
the game on the spur of the mo-
ment. Where did he get the idea
of the diamondl We would
rather believe that he had seen
the game played before. But if
Doubleday is to be given credit
for the diamond, let US make
sure credit be given Cartwright
for the organization of the first
base ball club in America-the
famous knickerbockers Of New
York. And since Cartwright went
with the forty-niners to Cali
fornia, during the gold craze,
may we not believe that he took
with him the diamond and tn,
rules of the game and started
those hardy pioneers playing
ball!
Probably we will have to take
final the report of the base
ball commission, appointed in
1907, to determine the origins of
the game: That to Doubleday
belongs the credit of having de-
termined the main features Of the
game. 1t seems unlikely that
Cartwright had never seen
game Of ball before 1912.
The Knickerbocker club, in
l845, began establishing the pro-
portions of the diamond. Their

There is diamond that can't
be mined. 1t has to be laid out.
1t has probably made more money
in its lifetime than is represented
by any crown jewels. 1t does not
emit colors, but on its surface
you see stars. What diamond is
as large or as valuable as the
base ball diamond?
Who drew the first diamond is
often disputed Should honors be
given to Maj. Gen. Abner Double
day or to Alexander J. Cart
wright? Here's the story. In
the early days, when one old cat,
two, three and four old cat were
the fashion, it was clearly seen
that in order to get bases within
proper range there must be some
sort OF square, with its four cor
ners. Then came town ball,
which gradually evolved a type
of base ball known in New Eng
land as the Massachusetts, game
and outside of New England as
the New York game.
II was not until young Abner
Doubleday of Cooperstown, N.
y, in 1889, drew a diamond,
that the present field began to
develop. There has been little
change in the field since that day,
except in the proportions, but the
question whether Cartwright is
not entitled to some of the glory
of the diamond has not been sat
isfactorily settled. Some his
torians have declared that Cart

1912 or thereaboutS, in the Muir
