The WeU-Dressed Man By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The ObIgaon of EUery Occasion
Short-Sleeye Shirts


 WHEN midsummer grills them as w a chop upon spit, many men
 become conscious of the limita- tions of their wardrobe. Why does the dweller in the tropics find the heat ed term not only endurable, but almost pleasurable? First, because he is used to it, and secondly because he is dressed for it. There are a hundred and one belongings of wear during the hot weather, expressly designed to keep the spirits up and the temperature down, that most men know nothing about, yet knowing, would warmly well come for the sake of coolness.
 A case in point-the shirt having el- bow sleeves. This is astonishingly cool, because it is a we'll known fact that comfort in summer depends upon leav- ing the wrists, throat and ankles free. Such a shirt is made of crip white Ox- ford, cheviot or English broadcloth. It usually has self sort collar and a breast patch pocket with button, adapt ing it for country and sports, as well as town wear. The elbow sleeves are extra wide at the hem for added com fort.
 Another admirable type of this shirt, particularly designed for golf, has an expanding pleat down the back which permits free arm-reach and shoulder swing. The two roomy breast pockets are also pleated. Materials are cheviot and broadcloth. The sleeves show the smart sport wrist cuffs fastening with two buttons.

was raised and he looked this way and that way. Farmer Browns boy stamp ed one foot Instantly Bluffer was on his back just as before, as lifeless a looking thing as ever was.
 Browns boy and load was lifted from his heart. All the gladness came back into the day and he chuckled. Then he kept perfectly still After a while Bluffer rolled over once more, raised his head, saw no one, and glided away through the grass. Farmer Browns boy made no sound until Buffer had had time to get some dis tance. Then he burst out laughing.
 You old fraud!" he exclaimed. You old buffer! First you try to scare me and then you make me think I have killed you. That's Unc' Billy Pos sums trick and I wonder where you learned :t. You made one mistake. If it hadn't been for that I never would have found you out. You seem to think that in order to appear dead you must be on your back. If you hadn't rolled over I never would have known that I didn't kill you. I certainly have learned something today. I suppose you are chuckling to yourself to think how smart you were and how you fooled me- I don't blame you. You have a right to chuckle. That's one thing you don't know and I wish you did. That is that you will never need to fear me again"
 With this Farmer Browns boy started for home whistling merrily. As he passed the garden he stopped to take Old Mir. Toad from his pocket and set him free.
 Anyway, I've done one good turn to- day." said he as Old Mir. Toad hopped under a cabbage leaf.

Frock Serves For Many Formal
 Occasions
! CERTAIN distinctive type of frocI

A CERTAIN distinctive type of frock A has sprung. up on ouri native soil
 which is so austere that it is diff ficult to call it dance frock, although it is used as such, and while it is so used for afternoons, although it has about it an air of dignified formality which prohibits such an indulgence.
 Its best name is a dinner dress, but both young and old alike have been wearing it for theatre and supper danc- ing, and indeed many of the younger matrons do not own any other type of evening, gown, considering this just formal enough to pass muster. for any occasion. Elegance of fabric, exquisite finishing, as for instance, the tiniest of bias bindings on all edges, or a single row of hand sewn brilliants to finish them, accentuating some dis tinctive lines, perfect fit and hang are what make" this type of frock.
 Pale pink or a deeper coral color silk crepe of the satin-faced sort would be a desirable medium of interpreta- tion, for the many overlapping sec tions suggest the possibility that the under side might be glimpsed. If a satin faced material were not used, therefore, all sections of the tunic should be lined with chiffon, for as I stated before, this type of frock exacts strict attention to details. I have pictured the edges bound either with self material or, georgette crepe. In this instance an orchid color would form conservative contrast that would add, trimming note. At the side a luxurious bouquet of flowers, cut from velvet, silk and Aatin of various colors, including the orchid, are appliqued as the outstanding decorative feature.
 White, yellow, apple green-any color in fact would enliven this frock

There are various ways of making the lie-down shirt-collar know it's place and keep it. One is to fasten it with tiny buttons at each tip. The other is to slip a gold safety into the knot un- der the collar. This is a former fash ion which has just been revived and is in a fair way to become standard style.
 Just as the fellow who has on yachting cap may really own yacht, so the wearer of a pleated sporting shirt may actually be sportsman. However, it is one of those styles which should only be attempted by the golfer who needs the utmost ease and free dom to get around in 72 or 75. Though a white shirt is no cooler than any other color, it looks cooler and feels cooler.

 write was to Frederick Parker
 It took much thought and time to compose it.
 She did not trouble about prelimina- ries, but went straight to the point She told him she had given up her po- sition in Fairtown--for reasons she would explain when she saw him. She must get work somewhere else. She remembered his kind offer and was sure that he wished her. to take ad- vantage of it. Therefore she would be glad if he would let her know if the position to which he had referred were still available.
 Then she gave him her address and asked him to let her hear from him as soon as convenient to himself.
 "As I told you, my name is not Elizabeth White" she continued, with her characteristic directness. am Marian Horton. My father, James Hor ton is i'll, and may. never be well again. My sister keeps house for him. My share of the family responsibility is to make money to run the establishment. When you spoke of my leaving this place I protested, for l thought could not bear to go away from my father. I could bear still less to have him lack the nursing and care that he now has. To secure this for him must work I explain this only so you may understand that my coming to New York is no foolish whim nor a desire for excitement. It is a stern necessity. I do not know anyone living there. If come, must get cheap room in a decent locality.
 II might apologize for putting all this trouble upon you. That am apologizing is proof of my faith in your sincere desire to help a fellow worker. Perhaps the time may come when I can in some way repay your kindness to me. If so, shall be glad She read the letter over but once. If she were to persue it oftener she would have sinkings of heart at taking what seemed like a leap in the dark. Yet she must leap.
 This was Saturday. Parker might not receive her communication by or- dinary mail before Monday afternoon. She would put a special delivery stamp on it in the hope that it might reach him on Sunday. That would perhaps give him time on Sunday night or Mon day morning to consult the man, Ros- COG, of whom he had spoken.

THE STAR TwINKLEs

There is a bit of tragedy as well as comedy in the story that in the Tap estFy of Life Mir. Raymond Blathway tells of young man who ater years of poverty and misery finally emerged as a poet of the highest order. A certain literary duchess who had been greatly fascinated by the charm and beauty of his verse gave an afternoon tea in his honor.
 Poor fellow, he sat in speechless agony, surrounded by his admirers, well realizing that as the star of the occas- ion he was expected to twinkle at least once. during the afternoon. At last an inspiration came to him. He started to speak, and dead silence fell upon the room. This Is what he said:
