USEFUL SHIRT WAISTS

THREE WELL CHOSEN GARMENTS „ WILL MEET ALL NEEDS. One of the Newest Models Offered for Hot Weather Wear Is Comfortable Bodice That Can Be Worn v While TriveMrtjp rr “ If the "dress Is to see hard service, have it in a dark color and match it with a hat suitably tailored yet capable of being .changed with a bit of dressy trimming on* occasions. The London hats, or the trim shapes which Jmitate these imported styles, are very useful for both Ibng and short trips, and as some of these have only one bit ol decking put on at tbe side, it is an easy enough matter to carry along a pretty “pole" of flowers —one of the high, tightly massed lifts —to put in place of the feather or cockade worn at more strenuous times. The next useful garment for the suit case traveler is the shirt waist, and Nlth three in suitable fabrics she can successfully gd through a week end at a fine country house or stop several days at a good hotel.

waist the pongee in natural color, a rich tan or pale gold, would be useful and effective. The dressy waist could be of the batiste or of a fine lawn with a dainty lace and hand run tucks, and there could be a negligee blouse in the wash silk for tired moments and very Informal occasions. The last, in fact, could do duty as a wrapper, that is, serve instead of one, for It cannot be expected that there will be room in the suit case for all the comforts of the toilet.

RED KID BOOTS IN VOGUE

Fiery Colored Footwear Will Be Worn With White Buita, According to Dictates of Fashion. A new fashion note, apropos of the popularity of white goods this spring and summer, was noted in the factory of a maker of women’s high-grade shoes, where we Bay a large number of red kid button boots being prepared for shipment. Upon Inquiry, we’learned that these red kid boots were intended for wear with white suits and gowns at fashionable country and seashore resorts as a change from white footwear, it being evident to milady of fashion that she must have footwear that will take her out of the ordinary humdrum of fashion. Her White suit or gown will have a touch of red trimming to complete the combination of a white dress and red boots.—Shoe Retailer.

models offered for hot weather wear, and a very young woman might wear it while traveling with perfect propriety, as a good throat and arms are its chief requirements. There are some lovely wash silks striped with the new dress colors, and while rather of the negligee species such little bodices, made up in this manner, would be very effective with a wool suit on a hot day. If the silk is of a very stylish sort, too, it would be a good idea to hem a bias of it for a hat scarf, and a proper hat for this would be one of the duck tourist or outing shape* which are Belling from 50 cents* up. A “dicky,” or front, made to eke out the possibilities of a plain waist, is likewise a useful trifle for the traveler to take along, and if she looks about the shops she will find many pretty styles in these. As to underwear, unstiffened dimity, from which every garment needed is made, could be used for the. more intimate lingerie, while for the long petticoat there is a wide range of light and reasonably'priced materials. In several of the shops the smartest underwear Imaginable 1* made of tan pongee, and this ts much Bought for traveling use. When selecting footgear remember that tan leather is cooler than any other and that white wash leather gloves are about the smartest worn. A little pair of 50-cent Turkish slippers will also add to the traveler’s comfort and contribute nothing to the weight of the suit case. ,

The Agreeable swish of Silk.

There is no denying the luxuriously Impressive effect of a soft frouTfrou of silk In a woman’s garments. She may be quite simply dressed, an unobtrusive little figure sitting meekly In a corner of the room —let her rise and walk across the floor with a delicious suggestion of rustling silk following her movements. The severely made gown will take on the contours of a Paquin model. When several years fashion's stern decree substituted the soft mesaalines for the noisy taffeta underskirts deep was the chagrin therein. But at an exhibition of this spring's styles at a fashionable dressmaker's, one of the models created a pleasurable sensation by filling the room with the agreeable swish of taffeta silk.

Fullness In Lingerie.

Lingerie usually keeps pace with fashion and tbe newest trousseau petticoats and combinations are full — not at tbe hips, but at tbe befrllled hem —more so than for three years. This points distinctly to much fuller sklrta in muslin frocks, otherwise tbe ruffles of the petticoats would be bound to make the wearer clumsy and uncomfortable. As embroidered panels are quite the rage in the sheer dresses, any frocks made narrow abead of tbe season can easily be pieced out with something of the kind before the time comes for actually wearing them.

Chiffons.

—of-the latest blouees which are worn under coats have lace, ruffles at the wrist. Many of the newest coats still show the side fastening, some starting slightly below the waist line, and others up at the shoulder. Cape collars extending over the shoulders are a feature not only of many heavy coats, but also of house and street gowns.

UNIQUE PIECE OF HEADWEAR

Striking. Example of th# Milliner’s Art Been on the Boulevards of Paris. One of the striking pieces of headwear of the Paris is an allsilk. close-fitting bonnet, which comes

down well over one side of the face mid sets Jauntily. A bow effect in the back gives it a chic appearance. The colors range in hue from deep red to light pink.

Care of Nails.

The nails should always show that they are well cared for. Carefully manicured nails are indicative of neat* ness; they should be manicured at least once a week and polished mid the cuticle loosened , frequently. Tbs equipment costs little and the money is certainly well expended.

HOW MATHEWSON FANNED MIKE MITCHELL

Captain Mitchell, Crack Outfielder of Cincinnati.

“Dode” Paskert tells an interesting yarn on Matty'and bis headwork The Reds were playing the Giants and Mike Mitchell was' cl6titlng Matty’s shoots to all corners of the lot, while Dick Hoblitzel had fanned three successive times. The Reds had a man on second and a man on third, with two out in the ninth inning, and the Giants bad a obe-run lead. A single would have won the game and Hobby was the hitter. The fans wpre giving up hope when Matty deliberately passed Hobby to take a chance on Mitchell, who had made two triples and a double In his three trips to the plate. The fans Bhouted and laughed. They thought it was all off with Matty. Mitchell had been clouting Matty’s fast ball and Mike expected to see tbe fade-

CONNIE MACK IS SARCASTIC

Supposedly of Easy-Going Disposition, Manager of Athletics la Stern Disciplinarian, Connie Mack at times is the most sarcastic manager in baseball. On the face he has an easy-going disposition, yet he is one of the sternest disciplinarians in the game, although he is never apparently stern. During the early days of the American league Mack had as first baseman the veteran Charley Cap, manager of the Kansas City team of the American association. This was in 1901, and Mack was having a struggle to keep above water. He had a raw-boned youth named Athletics played wretchedly. Plank's

pitching being as bad as the Mackmen’s fielding. Carr was a particularly bad performer. After the giant first baseman dropped his third thrown ball, Mack became wild, but in a quiet way. He waited for Carr as he was walking to the bench. Taking a dime from his pocket, he handed it to Carr. “Why, what’s that for?” said Carr In surprise. “It’s carfare home,” replied Mack coldly, “and take Plank with you.” Mack meant what he said and didn’t permit either Carr or Plank tp play any more that day.

Speaker After Record.

Trig Speaker has thrown his hat into the ring for the batting championship of the American league. Ty Cobb of Detroit and Joe Jaekson of Cleveland, have been hugging an opinion that the batting honors of the organisation should be the personal property of one' of them next October.

Then he, stepped up closer to the plate because be was positive that the next would be a curve ball. Zip. Another fast one shot straight across the plate. Once again Mike, in his surprise, allowed it to pass. Then he was dead sure he had Matty and that "Big Six" would waste a curve ball. Once again the ball went over the center of the plate. Mitchell was dumfounded and did not even swing. • Matty had deliberately given, him three fast balls, without a shoot on them, and all of them were right across tbe center of the plate and where Mitchell would ordinarily have killed them.

DIAMOND GOSSIP

Bobby Vaughn* reported to Joe MoGinnity s Newark* at the eleventh hour. Pittsburg has sent Infielder Ray Jansen to Wheeling of the Central league. Mr. Jackson of Boston is not living up to the family name as well as be . did last year. Dave Shean, Cub infielder farmed to Louisville, has been suspended for fallnra to report to the Colonels.■- - Charles Severeld, first baseman on the Rockford team for three seasons, will be turned over to the Superior club. - Utica has released Bert Noblett, for several years before going to New York the crack second baseman of the Central league. Daniel J. Hays, aged fifty-four, and known in his playing days as “Manzy" Hayes, died recently at his home in Brockton, Mass. The veteran Joe Keenan, last year manager of the London team, has sfgned with the Hamilton team of the Canadian league. Johnny Shovelln, who went fast in the Ohio-Pennsylvania league last season, has signed with Newark in the Ohio State league. Two Mack east-offs —Hogan of St Louis and Rath of Chicago—are playing good ball. Rath of the Sox is hitting the ball hard and fielding in excellent style. Dan Moeller of Washington is one player who can prove that he can come back. On his second trial in fast company he is playing good ball for Washington, Manager Davis of Cleveland is evidently going to take a leaf oyt of his former manager’s book. He has already signed Captain Nash of the Brown University team. Cleveland has sent Dick Talbot product of the Ohio city’s sand lots, to Toledo. He was a catcher and made over into an outfielder and will go into the outer garden for Hartsel. There Is a pitcher on the St Louis Browns who will delight in beating Washington. He is Elmer Brown, who had a trial under Griffith at Cincinnati and was declared no good. If was a big blow to Wolverton when Harry Wolter was injured; Wolter was playing good ball all around. His hitting and base running was the feature of the team’s work up to the time he was put out of the game. Oscar Vitt, the youngster pick-up by Jennings* last fall for the Infield, is versatile. He has never played anywhere but in the infield, but Jennings sent him to the outfield on account of Ids great hitting, and he is proving a sensation. :

HOW CHICAGOS LOST O’BRIEN

Carl Lundgren Gave President Murphy His Opinion That Buck Would Not Do for Cubs. "If it hadn’t been for Carl Lundgren the Cubs would have Pitcher O’Brien today,” says President Murphy ofr£b*t Chicago Cubs. “Lundgren played for the Chicago team many years and was a most excellent pltcber. He was uniformly good during the cold days, when most twirlers can scarcely hold the ball. Ho won many games for the Cubs at such times and was a factor in our success. “His judgment slipped up in the case of O’Brien, however. I had beard a lot about O'Brien’s wonderful work in the Connecticut league. In fact, many persons had written me advising his purchase by the Cubs. 1 picked up an eastern paper one day, noticed where Lundgren was playing on, the Hartford club, tbe same that O’Brien was a member of, and decided to get Carl’s opinion of tbe youngster. “Carl had pitched for the University of Illinois before joining the Cubs, and as George Huff was coach of the Illinois, in addition to being our scout at that time, I decided to get busy. First of all I asked Huff to write Lundgren and find eut what he •thought of O’Brien. The answer came back In due time: ‘O’Brien is only a fair pitcher.’ “That settled O’Brien for me. If he didn’t look good to Lundgren, I didn't see where he could be used by the Cubs. Yet that same O’Brien pitched amazing ball for the Denver club of the Western league, and was grabbed up by tbe Boston Red Sox before we could, get another crack at hlm r Jack Hendricks, manager erf—the—Benvevclub, and one of the best developers of young ball players in the business, according to my way of thinking, considers O’Brien the best young pitcher he has ever set eyes on. “For that matter, a dub owner has to pick and choose diamonds in the

rough for himself. Take the case of Gandil. Two experts have told me Gandll was a world beater—two said they wouldn’t have him on their club. What can you do in the face of such conditions? Just trust to your own insight and luck, I believe. ■ “We have had several youngsters whom we let go, believing they would not do. Yqt these same players went' to other major league clubs and were whales with the bat and in the field. Really, you know very little after aIL"

Foxy Joe McGinnity.

Manager Joe McGlnnlty of Newark was offered back Joe Agler by the Cubs, but declined to take him, since he 1% sure Harry Swseina will fill all requirements. Agler and Smith went to the Cubs' in a deal by which McGinnity was to get players or cash. Bob Fisher was sent to Newark and a list of others, .including Agler, submitted to McGinnity. None of them looked good to him and he demanded cash instead, to the amount of $3,000. President Murphy sent him a check for the amount and Agler went to Jersey City, The deal McGinnity made vfas a good one, for Fisher bids fair to be worth as much as both Smith and Agler, and Joe has the 3,000 bones besides.

World’s Series Games.

The move to Increase the worlds series from seven games to nine really brings back the plan inaugurated in the modern blue-ribbon event of baseball. Pittsburg and Boston in 1903 were scheduled to play until one team won five. The first fqpr games left the series standing three to one in Pittsburg’s favor, but Jimmy Collins’ crowd "came back” and took four straight. Mack and McGraw favor nine games.

Lafitte Released to Providence.

Edward Lafltte, a member of the Detroit American league pitching staff, has been released to the Providence club of the International league. Lafltte went tb Detroit after making a great record in fixe old Eastern league in 1910. •

Pleased With Miller.

Roger Bresnahan is much pleased over acquiring the ownership of Outfielder Miller. Cincinnati wanted to send Miller to Fort Wayne, Ind., but Roger blocked the deal and landed Elmer for the waiver price.

Manager Wallace Is Happy.

Manager Wallace of the Browns is happy over the trade he made which brought Stovall to St. Louis. Stovall Is leading the club in batting with .a ,400 mark and playing the best ball of bis career.

HOW TO COOK BACON

NEED NOT ALWAYS BE SERVED IN SAME CfLD WAV. rzTi'' * . ; • Should Be Thoroughly ChiHed Before Frying to Get Beet Result*—Various Nice Ways of Senriffg ae ™ Breakfast Dish. —There is a proper and an Improper way to cook bacon. One unfortunately sees too much of the latter. Baked on a rack or a broiler, it is consider** ed ’more wholesome than when it is fried, but most of tbe trouble with fried bacon lies not In the fact that ft Is fried, but rather in the way ft ia fried. It Is too often sent to the table either half cooked and floating In grease, or else it Is. dried up and half j burned. To fry bacon ideally, it should, after It has been cut into thin slices, be placed on ice to become thoroughly p chilled. Tbe pan must be very hot, so that tbe bacon curls into, little rolls as soon as the pan is shaken. Fry ft * thoroughly, but not lons enough to harden it. Bacon baked as follows is free from grease: Cut it into thin slices and place them on a rack such as is used for roasting meat or upon a gridiron placed over a dripping pan. Have the oven very hot and let the slices re* main In It until they are crisp and brown. The following is a unique way of broiling bacon: Cut it into thin slices as usual, place cracked ice over them, and let them stand In this way until they are chilled. After broiling the slices on one aide place them again on the ice. In a moment or two pot back on the fire, and broil them on tbe other side until done. The sudden change of temperature is believed to . improve bacon. There are many nice ways of serving bacon as a breakfast dish. Tomatoes fried with bacon are a favorite dish in many English households. Cat the tomatoes in slices, season with salt and pepper, and. If preferred, dip in egg and bread crumbs before frying. A catsup gravy is very nice when fried in bacon. Pour off the superfluous grease after frying, add a little catsup mixed with, wafer and thicken with flour, If necessary. About a quarter of a cupful of water is added to half a cupful of catsup. Fried bacon with cream gravy make* a nice breakfast dish in spring with corn bread. After cooking the bacon free it from superfluous grease. Add a little flour and milk to the drippings that remain, cook the sauce on top of the stove and pour it over the bacon. Another way to prepare this dish is to soak the bacon in cold milk for 20 minutes before cooking, afterward dipping the slices in flour and frying in a very hot greased frying pan. The soaking in milk gives a fine flavor to the bacon and the flour, and the flour Insures a crisp crust Shake the pan well while cooking, and after browning thoroughly on both sides remove the bacon. Pour off superfluous grease and place tbe slices on rough brown paper to absorb any fat that may adhere to the outside. Stir into the frying pan one or two tablespoonfnls of flour, gradually adding the milk the bacon was soaked in, and season with • salt and pepper. When the sauce is thick pour ft over the bacon and serve at onoe.

When embroidering a gift far friend, linen shirtwaists or centerpieces become soiled, even if the greatest of care is taken to prevent this.

The chalk then may be easily shaken out and an immaculate gift presented without destroying the “new” appearance of the fabric. This is successful. Do not hesitate to try it.
