And whether these creations ore their own visions worked out In the products of the loom or are the Inspirations of those whoBe pro fession Is gown-making Is of little Importance. The Important thing Is 4hn successful effect. Here Is a model from Gautler of 1sris that shows how those fumillar fabrics, taffeta and net, are set to tho rhythm of tho new modes as words to music. It Is In black with the bodice over white figured net and a tunic of net finished with a broad bund of silk bout the bottom. This Is the stylo which has com manded the most attention for mid summer. The long sleeves of net, or chiffon, ore featured In the mujorlty of gowns, and a tunic of some sort Is everywhere present. This dress Is particularly cool looking and particu larly comfortable. The narrow plain Bklrt of taffeta Is ankle length and finished at the hot torn with a quilling of silk. There Is a lapped scam lu It down the front. New Arrangement of the Hair liv NMy i YiOaWf : Vyl A SIMPLE style for dressing the hair Is pictured here. It employs Om Urge shell hairpins that have mot rtUi trowing favor this season, and tlspeoses with any other decoration. The front bair Is waved about the fce for this style and parted at the toft aid In a long part extending from the crown fcf the head to the forehead. It la combed over the temples and a In large waves about the face to Am check, Just In front of the ear, Ittle above the lobe. At this point the hair Is turned sack and pinned at each side. Hare t la all combed In together to make lie back balrdresslug. ' For this the hair Is parted In two traoda and one of then Is braided tooaely, or twisted. This ' braid Is ttXJad at the b&ck around tba remain m strand . and pinned down to tba .' K .: The tunic is rather full and the bor der of taffeta very wide. There Is sufficient body and crlspness In the taffeta border to hold the tunic out from the underskirt, and the trans parency of net over the taffeta petti coat and the white bodice makes the charmingly cool effect which Is the best aspect for a hot-weather costume. There are narrow frills of net about the wrUts and neck and a verv new and cleverly arranged collar of taf- icta wnicn extends like a fichu about the neck, and crosses, surplice fash Ion, In front. It terminates at the bark In a flat bow. The simple little hat worn with this dress Is of black moire and white lace. These are pretty Items In the way of finishing touches to this noteworthy costume. The handbag Is of moire, matching the hat. Bracelets set oft the arms of the fair wearer, and one of them is worn above the elbow on tho left arm. The short skirt presupposes feet as carefully clothed as It Is possible to nave tnem. The stockings are plain black silk and the strapped slippers are decorated with tiny steel buckles. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. head with wire pins. The remaining end la fluffed and pinned to the crown, with It ends thrust under the hair at tba top crown. Small, Invisible pins are placed In the waves at the front and wherever needed to keep the hair In place, for neatness must ba featured In all tba new stylos of balr dresslng. The two large shell pins are orna mental but they also furnish a sub stantial support In keeping the balr In placa. Thla coiffure does not set so close to tho bead at the back as It appeara to In tha photograph. Tba fluffed strand of hair which Is drawn through the braided coll and fastened In at th top, Is something like a long and broad puff. It extends beyond tha back of the head sbeut as far as tb usual French twist. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Harp, Deemed by Most People at Typ pally Irish, Wat Really Imposed Upon the Country by an . English King. What flag shall Ireland fly? This Is a question that 1b again being dis cussed, writes a London correspond ent of the. Now York Sun. Probably no country has had more national flags than Ireland, so that of old-time flags range of choice Is by no means restricted. The most ancient, without doult, is the "Spear and Ser pent," said to commemorate the cur ing by Moses of an ancestor of Mile sius who had been bitten by a snake. Then there Is the golden sunburst upon a blue ground, emblem of Fionn MacCumhall's Fenian (militia). Blue was always Ireland's national color until 1798, when the United Irishmen, to signify the blending of north and south evolved a national color of the blue formed by the amalgamation of blue and orange namely, green. Another flag is that which Crom well's soldiers are reputed to have seen when fighting the Kernes, a red cross upon a golden ground. Opinions as to whether such was ever a na tional emblem or not are divided, many people believing It to have been the arms of an insurgent commander. The three golden crowns upon a blue ground is another emblem which has not been overlooked. Tho design appears today In the arms of Mun ster, and the three crowns are said to typify the triple kingdoms of Dres- mond, Thomond and Ormond. Any way, thlB flag was the emblem of Ire land from 1170 to 1547, when Henry VIII of England substituted the harp for the three crowns, the reason be ing that Henry was anxious that the three crowns should not be confused with the triple tiara of the pope, with whom, at this Juncture, Henry was not on the best of terms. Thus It comes about that the harp, which Is deemed as typically Irish, was Imposed upon Ireland by an Eng lish king; but bad not the United Irishmen, although they decrowned the harp in 1798, adopted It as their emblem, and Grattan's parliament recognized the barp, although they did not like the green ground, It is hardly likely that the average Irish man today would regard It as other thun an upstart burgee. Still another national device to be considered Is the "Lamh Dearg Elrinn," the Tied Hand of Ireland, which, upon' a white ground, was borne by Shane and Hugh O'Neill's armies that defeated Queen Eliza beth's generals. The early hours of the nineteenth century saw Ireland Inflicted with the St. Patrick's Cross, a red satire upon a white ground. What St. Patrick had to do with it nobody can say, but some emblem or tho other had got to be Incorporated In the British flag upon the passing of the act of union, and so the heralds did the rest. Wherever they got the red satire from It Is not known, but there Is reason to believe that It was bor rowed from the arms of Trinity col lege, Dublin, which had In turn bor rowed It from the Fitzgerald family. In all probability Ireland will adopt the sunburst upon a blue ground, the chief reason being Its an tiquity, Its distinctly Irish origin, and Its symbolism of Ireland rising to take her proper place among the na tions. Hut come what may, the ground of the new flag Is going to be blue. The Sinn Pelners are resolved upon that, and that the flag's material shall not bo silk or cotton, but good Irish linen. Whimsical Prisoner. A prisoner's remarkable flow ot words caused great amusement at Dublin sessions recently. A laborer was charged with stealing a pair of boots. "By what stretch of Imagination or by what Inane processes of reasoning can you assume that I stole the bootB?" be asked. Addressing tho court later, he said: "I havo always testified with the utmost ardor and fervor of my soul tny lilKh admiration for tho courage, discipline, and exalted Integrity and Inspiring honesty of the Dublin po lice. 1 had some pious and artistic pictures when arrested, and offered them to the police-sergeant for bis edification. I would serve 40.000 years In Jail rather than knuckle down to the whimsical and fantastic charge." 8mrt Reply. The captain Of a certain trnnnnlilt Conveying a British cavalry regiment to tho capo was noted for his wit, and (it every opportunity that offered hn loosed hla shafts of humor, to tho chagrin and embarrassment of their targets. Sooner or Inter tha llnirar fcets stung, however, and this chronlo pun-artist was no exception to the rule. On one occasion, when about two days out from port, be approached a group of soldiers who were swab bing'tho forward deck. and. alnrtln out a big, raw-boned Irish recruit who was experiencing his first taste of sailor's life, ha gravely asked: "Can you steer the mainmast down tno forecastle stairs ?" Quick as a flash ;sme the reply: "Yes, sor. 1 can, If you will stand .below and coll It ud" FABLESI & SLANG ak The New Fable of Everybody' Friend and the Line-Sucker. In a sequestered Dump lived two Urchins, Edgar and Rufus, who went to the Post with about an equal Handi cap. They got away together down the broad Avenue of Hope which leads one Lad over the hills and far away to the United States Senate Chamber and guides another unerringly to the Fed eral Pen near Leavenworth, Kansas. When Edgar was a Tootsey he re ceived a frequent dusting with Ex treme Violet Talcum Powder and was allowed to play with a flaxen-haired Doll named Celeste-. About the same time, Rufus began to take Cold Baths and was propped up to look at Pictures of Napoleon and John L. Sullivan and Sitting Bull.- At School each was a trifle Dumb. If Edgar fell down on an Exam, his Relatives would call a Mass Meeting to express Regrets and bang Crape all over the Place. If Rufus got balled up In his An swers, his Immediate Kin would pat him on the Back and tell him he was right and the Text-Book w-s wrong. Edgar ' would emergo from tho Feathers every morning to find his Parents all lined up to wish him a new set of Police Regulations. They held up the Rigid Forefinger and warned him that ho wes merely a Oram of Dust and a eukllng and a i poor juver.lle Mutt whose Mission In Life was t; Lie Down und Behave. Rufus would be aroused each Sun rice by a full Military Bond of CO Pieces playing "Hail to tho Chief who in Trlumrh Advances." Between the Buckwheats end the Sorghum, Hie two Family Boosters would slip hiin the pleanlng Informa tion that never tlnce the Morning Slar3 pulled their first Harmonies had there bounded into the Arena another such I Prodigy of Intellectual Brilliancy und Physical Valor. ! Consequently when Tufts hit tho I Fresh Air, with tho McGuffey under ! the Arm, he wore his Chest about a I foot In front of him. j He ackuowledged with a Slight Nod I the Falutatlon from Borne Member of the Town Board. Edgar, Btageripg under a Ton of Restrictive Advice, would spot Rufus Smeared and Disarranged, at a Distance and sneak Into an Alley, because be didn't wish to get Blood all over hla Clean Waist Whenever Edgar was forced Into a Battle and came home smeared and disarranged, bis Mother would go to her Room and Cry softly and Father would Paint a vivid Word-Picture ot a Wretch standing on the Gallows with a Black Cap over his Head. Then Edgar would crawl to the Hay Mow and brood over his Moral In firmities and try In a groping way to figure out bla Relation to Thlnga In General. But, when Rufus appeared all drip ping with Gore, his Seconds would cool him out and rub him with Witch Hazel and pin Medals on hlra and In dicate to him on a Chart tha exact latitude and longitude of the Solar Plexua. Hla Parenta made tha Orava Mis take ot backing blm to tha Limit Tbey pumped blm full of Courage every Morning and set blm out to Lick all Comers. No wonder ha became aa pugnacious as U. S. Grant as conceited aa a Suc cessul Business Man and as aelf-aa-sured as a Chautauqua Lecturer. Everyone disliked blm Intensely bat Just tba same tbey stepped off Into tha Mud and gave blm tha entire double width ot Cement 8ldewalk. Edgar, on the other band, was ona of tha most popular Door-Mais that ever bad "Welcome" marked up and down his Spinal Column. All those wbo scratched Matches on him and used blm as a Combination Hall-Tree and Hitching Post used to remark that ba didn't hsva an Enemy tha World. They had corraled his Goat, so b( had to play the Part himself. It had been dinged Into him thai True Politeness means to wait until everyone else has been Served ano then murmur a few Thanks for th Leavings. Besides, his Parents had convinced him that it he went Fishing, he wouldn't get a Nibble, and it h climbed a Tree he would fall and break his Leg, and If he tried to ma nlpulate more than Two Dollars at ona time, he would go Blink. Therefore, when both were In Col lege, Rufus acted as plunging Half' Back, with Blue Smoke coming from his Nostrils, and achieved the undying Distinction of being singled out by Walter Camp. Edgar Bat up on the Bleachers with 2,800 other Mere Students and lent a quavering Tenor to a Song about Alma Muter. Even the Undergrads cojld not take the Tuck out of Rufus. Ho was fresher than Green Paint and his Work was Raw, but be was so Resilient that no one could pin him to the Mat and keep him there.

Anyone who had a Book to sell, or a Petition to bo signed, or a Note that noeded endorsing came daBhlng right into Edgar's Office and Hailed blm as the Champion Patsy of the Universe. Not one of these ever ventured Into the Loir of the Street Railway Czar, for he knew that Rufus might Jump over the Mahogany Table and bite him In the Arm. Even Edgar, when he made a Busi ness Coll on Boyhood Friend and lov- lug Classmnte, was permitted to wait In the Outer Room, resting his Hat on his knees, and mingling on terms of Equality with the modish Typist and tho scornful Secretary. And when they went away to look at some Properties, Rufus took the State room while Edgar drew an Upper. Any great big Brute ot a Man with a Tigerish Instinct for pouncing on each Good Thing and then hanging on to It like Grim Death, never can win the Esteem of tha envloua but anaemlo Gallery. Everyone at tha Club referred to Edgar as a Good Old Scout but when all tba Push gathered at tha Round Table and soma ona let tall tha Name of tha High-Binder, they would open up on Rufus and Pan blm to a Whis per. Then Rufus would enter In hla Fur Coat, upsetting Furniture and Serv ants aa ha swept through tho Loun ging Room. Immediately thero would ba an Eul- demlc of Goose Pimples and a Rush to shake Hands with blm. Rufus was sinfully Rich, but never theless Detestable, because his Family had drilled Into him tha low-down Habit of getting tho Jump on the Other Fellow. Edgar may live In a Rentod House, but be will always have tha Inward Satisfaction of knowing that ba la a sweet and courteous Gentleman with Pink Underwear, and a Masonic Charm on bis Watch Chain.
