For It Is for those butterfly beings
who find It Impossible to exist In a
northern climate at this season of the
year that all these flower-laden hats
and cobwebby tropical fabrics are pre
pared. But far from being envious of
them, one should he most grateful, for
, do they not give us hints months In ad-
- vanee of what will be worn next sum-
, mert'yy'-'y'." '
True, It Is only, as a little actress
used to sing, "an Inkling, Inkling, ink-'
, llng."t Time la the only sure arbiter
of what wlll eventually prove "the
thing"' In the Important matter of
. clothes. ' Bui for thoae who keep their
etyea fairly wide open now la the time
. for them to gather much Information
which- will prove useful later on. It
' may even afford them a chance to
make use of the dearly loved "There! I
told you ao!"
' If you are "picking up" dress lengths
1 to be made up for spring and summer
wear, I am sura you are 'quite bewil
dered by the beauty of the patterns of
the new materials. In voiles, in loose
ly woven canvas. In muslins and n
Ilks the iatuffs with borders are with
out number and in such charming de-
signs and richness of .coloring that even
the most critical must be silenced.
They are. dfstlnctly the novelty of
the season io far, and suggest all man
ner of delightful possibilities in their
making up. The borders are in nearly
' all caaea wide, and on rausllna they are
. sometimes printed, but on all heavier
materials are woven. Greek key pat
i terns in contrasting color and rich ori
ental designs are found on voiles and
' silks. "Muslins bear the daintiest-wide-i
borderings of flower wreaths and gar
lands, and satin stripes woven in.
Chiffon cloths have perhaps the, most ,
striking decorations of satin stripes and
woven eatln deslgna.
Dressmakers will have many oppor
tunities to display their Ingenuity in
using these border efiecta. Of course,
the plr.lted skirt with the border at the
bottom is an obvious arrangement. But
in overeklrts, of Which we will see
many later on, there wlll be more
scope for original ideas.
Some very charming borders are
found among thel linens, which this year
are to the fronfcwlth various brand
new weaves. The several toned stripe,
fyhlch, by the way, promises to be sad
y common, la seen in linens Intended
for tailored gewns. And a new weave
closely Imitating rajah silk comes In
attractive plain colors lavenders, pinks
and blues.
Coats and skirts nf linens are as pop
ular as ever at Florida resort i, and
there seems no falling off in the smart
wearing of the Jumper frock. So one
may conclude that it will be with us
through another summer. And what
woman will net rejoice? The Jumper
drees solves so' many problems. It is
the happv medium between the too In
formal white waist and the stiffness of
an all linen or silk frock, and It has
proved itself suitable for many occa
sion. In the Illustration are shown three .
little Jumper frocks whose wearers have
been - for some time disporting them
selves under southern skies. They il
lustrate very well the points in which
this year's Jumper dresses differ from
those worn last summer, although, to
be quite frank, the Jumper frock of 190S
bears a strong resemblance to that of
1907.
The skirts again escape the ground
and are side-pleated. They very often
have for trimming blaa bands 'of the
same material put on at some distance
from , the skirt hem. The waists are
made with square, round or V-shaped
openings for the gulmpe. although the
"V" opening down low, to .give a good
view of the Jabot adorning the front of
the gulmpe, promises to be popular.
Sleeves of the material of the rest of
the dress, showing a line of white em
broidery or lace ruffling where they
end below the elbows, will be more
often dsed than the white gulmpe
sleeve.
Soutache braiding on linen will be in
good style, although embroidery dis
creetly applied and Cluny and Irish
crochet lace will also be seen Jumper
dresses of the semi-princess model will
be much liked.
Such a gown is pictured in the
sketch lettered "D."n nd would
be particularly becomttfg to the
woman of too few Inches, for the
long, unbroken line from gulmpe
to skirt hem gives height. Made of li
lac colored linen, It has a plaited skirt,
finished only with a stitched hem. The
front of the waist Is really made In one
with the front panel of the skirt, for
above the waist line it widens out and
buttona up onto the rest of the waist
with six buttons, three on either side
a quito novel arrangement. The nar
row stitched belt which runs around
the waist at the back buttona onto the
panel front at either elde.
The sleeves are simple and not over
large, ending in- a plain band cuff. There
Is a little delicate embroidery on the

buttons are embroidered, in white. The
Jabot Is of Irish lace, mounted on fine
Mull. But it is on the gulmpe that all

it. But the gulmpe of this lilac frock

the sketch lettered B. It has the sug
gestion of the kimono sleeve, which will
this year be agalu seen, with modifica

band of braiding above the hem.
The third linen Jumper frock Is of
fine green and white stripes, trimmed
with bias bands and buttons covered
with embroidered linen, large and amall.

TO QUIET observers, the practice
recently adopted of attending
European military and naval ma
neuvers and bringing to our army
and naval organisations many of
the methods and regulations used by
. other nations is rather puxxling. .
Our army and navy are organized on
an entirely different basis, the person
nel of officers and man are altogether
of a different character, and It s dif
ficult to understand the application of
foreign principles. As a mattejr of
fact, our entire forces on land atfd sea
are volunteers for the defense of a na
tion of freemen, while foreign armies
and navies are made up of subjects who
are obliged to give so many years of
their Uvea to the support of the crown.
The pay of American soldiers and
sailors Is far better than that of either
the officers or men of both branches of
any other country on the globe, and it is
possible there will soon be an Increase
in the pay of all who wear American
uniforms.
American inventions have been quite
as fruitful la furnishing Improvements
in munitions of war as any other na
tion. If we had "confined ourselves to
we would probably be quite aa advanced
as we are ty using roreign ones.
