THE famous French dressmhkers

for while they made use Of all
the light, airy fabrics for
Spring and Summer frocks, really
Winter weather prevailed during May
and cool Spring days have been more
prevalent during June than have days
that might be called Summer.
The result has been that while al
most every woman of fashion had q
goodiy supply Of chiffon and geor.
gette and crepe silk fToeks, she &C.
tuAlly wore more wool than silk, and
fur wraps have been worn to an
amazing extent. This dif1idence on the
part of Spring and Summer has
brought all sorts of lighterweight
woolen materials into great pronai:
nefce.
The visitor int Paris is struck at
once with the wide use OF wool rep
and other wearable twilled wooden
materials. Cheviots and tweeds still

are quite finely woven and very fine,
they make little appeal to the French
woman. 1t seems as II every French
woman IN Paris possesses at least one

into favor. Il Is the finelystwilled ma

noticed. There Is excellent reason for

My Pet.

TT must take real perseverance, on
: the part OF you boys and girls to
teach your pets all the tricks that
they do. Moreover, your pets must
be naturally pretty smart in order to
learn them You have good reason
to be proud Of them for their smart
ness. and of yourselves: too, for hav.
ing the patience to teach them these
stunts. Let us hear more about them,
for the My Pet editor always has
time TO read your interesting letters.
A Friendly Coon.
Earl Tubbs of Pittsburgh, Pa,
writes that he has a raccoon as Q
pet. Raccoons as a rule are not
very friendly, and Earl keeps Jack"
in q cage in the cellar Of his home.
He can let him out on a chain to
run around for exercise. Jack win
eat out of his hand. but he knows
Immediately when q stranger offers
him food out Of his hand. Jack Is
very wise and will keep quiet and
be friendly when his master is near
the cage. When he comes home from
school, Jack will be walking up and
down the length of his cage. i'm
patient to have his dinner given to
him.
Jelly Tor Jerry Jud.
Homer Kibby Of Garden City,
Kans., has written US that he has
fox terrier puppy named Jerry Jud.
He is especially fond of jelly. Homer
says that he win stand q few feet
away from Jerry Jud with spoonful
Of jelly in his hand and the dog will
walk on his hind legs to him and
get the jelly. He can do all sorts
Of other little tricks beside this "spe.
cial one" as Homer says.
Tibby Plays Doll.
Pauline Bergfeld of Cutler. Ill,
says that her cat, libby, Is won
derful pet. In addition to having
all the other attractions Of just 'ordi.
nary cats. libby will let Pauline
put her doll clothes on her and
wheel her around In her doll buggy.
Inasmuch as cats are rather fussy
and restless. this is q decided con.
venience. Pauline says that dogs
"sit up" but so does libby. She
says that she would not trade her
blue-grays Maltese pet for any other
dog or cat.

nodesty or secretiveness in words
and action.
As the eyes are the features that
most assist expression Of emotions,
so all the appendages, however nli-
mute, are indications OF character. The
long, dropping lashes are very ef-
fective in love-making and speak
eloquently when raised or lowered.
Straight. coarse, thick and pro-
truding lashes are found on persons
who possess character OF more blunt
ness and vigor than refinement, and
are found on the large boned person.

MIDWEST ATHLETES
DO BEST IN MEET

CHICAGO, May 24.-Led by the

were hung up in the Harvard \ ale

others. one Of which equalled the per-
formance at Cambridge, were made at
the Princeton California dual meet at

Additionally. the best high hurdles

BASE BALL SECRETS
BY Sol Metzger

An infielder guarding second on
q steal should be careful about
placing his feet. Don't stand on
or to the right Of the base and
don't stand with one foot we'll out
from the base along the runners
patch, as is the player on the
right in the illustration. In the
first case you will he unable to
get the ball on the runner because
you are too far away from him. In
the second case you block the
runners path and are in danger
of being hurt by his slide. Also,
such a collision may cause you to
drop the ball.
The right way to handle such a
throw is to put your left foot
against the bag, as is the player
on the left. The runner then has
an ample opening to slide into the
base and you are in the best
position to put the ball on him
for a putout in the quickest pos
Sible manner.

BY posting 100000 added for the

to succeed. The thoroughbreds nom
mated for the race include Bubbling

AS the District of Columbia has no
law prohibiting the sale or shipment
Of these fish nor has Maryland. 1T is
hard to see where this bill dement's
either Washington or Baltimore
anglers. The passage of This bill In
Congress is undoubtedly an entering
wedge and will help materially. but
what the anglers of Washington ana
Baltimore want is TO have their
markets closed to the sale OF THESE
game fish.
This column intends to ask United
States Fish Commissioner . Male!
to call a conference of the fish COM
missioners Of Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia to see what is the
best method to take to get this de-
sired action.
The belated fishing season at Chesa-
peake Beach started in at a good
pace the past week with some
notable catches of hardheads. The
size and quality of the fish measured
up very we'll to the catches Of the
former seasons, but it must be SAID
in all fairness to the numbers of
District of Columbia anglers who
went down to the Beach and re-
mained up all night to get the wary
and scarce Spring adventures that
the opening of the season was not
marked by any great NUMBER OF
catches.
Among those to test their fortune
were the we'll known Washington
anglers, Messrs. w. II. Ronald, w. L.
Bailey, w. Pumphrey, Fl. Davis and
others of the regulars who go down
to the Beach every recurring season.
No rockfish have been seen in the
returning anglers baskets and 1T is
not expected that many will be seen
for some time. The fishing for some
years past has been none too good
and it requires all the best conditions
fer fishing to compensate any fishing
efforts either on the long pier or in
the outside waters at Chesapeake
Beach.
Evening star., 1926-05-24

Eve have heard this Spring of 5-1O
performances in the Middle West, but
my belief is that such figure Is not
sound. Timers may catch hundred
yard men in 9 $40. but such ngure
will be lucky. not sound. When such
postwar sprinters as ScholZ. HuD-
bard and Paddock and such pre-war
stars as Wefers and Duffy could not
touch 9 $40, / see little chance that
any of the 1926 crop of men will be
able to reach such mark.
1.-The 100-yard race always has been
on the l. &. A. a. A. A. program, so
that Saturdays final on the Harvard
cinders will be the fiftieth annual
championship event. To my mind the
piece de resistance of all athletic meets
is the classic 100-yard championship.
And one reason for this is that the
spectators feel more like the compet-
ing athlete in this race than in any
other event.
western colleges will be represent
ed by two exceptional sprnters in
Capt Jim Barber of California and
Ed House of Southern California.
Neither was beaten in his college tests
during the Spring campaign on the
Pacific Coast. but il so happened that
Barber was not eligible when Cali
fornia went to Los Angeles to oppose
Southern California.
Il frequently have been asked what
I consider the best method for train
ing a sprinter. My answer is that
the best results can lie obtained by
keeping the runner big and strong
and fighting for his speed. He also
must be up to scratch physically and
mentally to obtain the best results"
Here is the 100-yard record in
T. c. A a A a meets.
