Trom the London Spectator. A correspondent of the Times gives a most Interesting account of the hydro plane Ricochet II. designed and- con structed bv the MM. Le Las. of Paris. The little vessel, which is described as some 13 feet In length, decked fore and sft has a flat but not horizontal tin-dor-surface, sloped w gently forward so us to BKim over tne water, and is driv en by a 12-horsepower motor on the principle of the ricochet shot or "ducks nnd drakes. reaching a speed of 40 kilometers to the hour. The hydroplane which appears to proceed by "sheer leans though this is probably an op tlcal Illusion can be stopped dead when at high speed In a doaen yards, but presents some difficulties In turn ing. The motion Ik described as "de lightful as well-as novel" by those who have been on board. Whether the new Invention can be turned to practical use remains to be seen, but Its extreme lightness commends it to explorers, and one has been In use for mall purposes on the Niger for some time. After several accidents on roller coasters nnd scenic railway contraptions at so-called amusement resorts, the Chi cago authorities have decided that they can step In and save foolhardy pleasure seekers from themselves. The corpora tion counsel's office holds that the building department has authority '.o condemn all' kinds of man-killing an! limb-breaking contrivances which come under the head of "structures."

Why? Because the dlrectolre gown, fashion conquerer of elite, four-hundred circles In Paris. London, New York, Chi cago and, yes. San Francisco, is social- offleially unkown In Portland. Perhaps there are those who go further and se verely censure her and cavil at her, in timating back woodslsms and all that sort of thing. Well, you carping critics and cavilers. know that your rantlngs are but senseless insanity. Know that Portland, key to the, northwest and rose city of Oregon, is'.marchlng at the head of the dlrectoire-gown-city col umns. Perhaps she is modest this queen city as she Is In everything pertain ing to her matchless resources and mul titudinous assets. Perhaps she Is even reticent about this dlrectolre gov;.n proposition. But she has the gown. Yes and the gown Is the prettiest, daintiest, niftiest bit of dressmaker's art that ever evoked alls and ohs from feminine lips. What's that vou. cynic? You've been up and down town every dnv and you never saw t lie gown. Nooody siud vou had. Miss Monette Shub, who is !.t vears old and lives at never mind where goes to school during the day, like all other little girls and, unlike many oth er little girls, is a busy little modiste during those hours when she Is not studying.. Prettv young for n modiste? Ah: It Isn't professional!" that this lit tle maiden bends her energies to the needle. Miss Monette has a doll It n a pretty little doll, too, and It has a wardrobe that would bring the envious blush to the cheek of Mrs. De Sagan, nee Helen Gouldj With all the dresses and all the gowns gowns understand, are what men term "classy" female clothes; dresses are Just dresses and hats that this doll had when the new craze ar rived, its make-believe mother was sore ly grieved. She wanted her doll to have a dlrectolre and there weren't any patterns to be had. Did she grieve long? Not she. It wasn't long before she saw a picture of the dlrectawah (technical pronuncia tion) In one of the papers. And It wasn't quite that long before Miss Dolly had a real, true dlrectolre gown. Anil now. on any pleasant afternoon after school, vou may see, If you are observ ant, a prim little matron out walking with a prim little doll. And the doll will have on one of those stunning cre ations, with tight-fitting bodice, sheathed skirt and hut keep your eye open and find out for yourself. New York. Aug. 20. It has been fre quently remarked that there la more business done over the luncheon table In New York than In the busy office, and this Is becoming more and mora true with the rapid Increase In the num ber of luncheon ajubs that are being formed la the downtown district. There la a club for nearly every line of bust nesa and the name Is generajlf taken from the occupation In which the ma jority of the members engage. There la a fashionable Railroad club for rail road officials, the Hardware club for hardware men. and so on with audi tinmen am t he I irnva-lstB'. Chemists. ljiwvers" and Publishers' clubs). Of course, some of the clubs choose other names, such as the City Lunch club, which Is situated on the roof of a 25 stifry building, which makes It one of the most enjoyable places to aine in the cltv. At these different cluba men gather about 1 o'clock, and It la often nearly 4 before the last of them depart for their offices. Over their coffee and cigars they discuss some big busi ness schemes, and the custom la becom ing so general in New York that wJien a man has some proposition to offer he Invites the one he would Interest out to luncheon, and there they spend sev eral hours In going over the details. It lsvery seldom nowadays In New jrora that one sees the sign placed on an office door, that Is so common In other cities, "Out to lunch, return In 10 min utes." Possibly New Yorkers are a little slower In naming their children after the presidential nominees than people In other sections of the country, but the fashionable hotels are not slow In got tlng the names on the hill of fare with a good stiff price after it. One of the favorite deserts which has been Invent ed by 'a chef In one of the swell res taurants on Fifth avenue Is Melon a la Taft. The new dish is not, as might bo Imagined, built up from the biggest melons coming to market, but consists of only an ordinary cantaloupe cut In halves and filled with sliced peaches and maraschino. It has not yet rivaled the fame of those other cantaloupe con coctions bearing the nam-s of Lillian Russell and Admiral Schley, but those who have the price, at 60 cents tier, pro nounce It a winner. There is an attractive young lady In Gotham who models cloak models. It Is a good business, too, for there are about 1.000 fine-figured pretty faced girls In New York who muke a living donning and doffing fluffs and ruffles for the edification of the buyers at big dry goods stores. The proprietor of the "New Model Factory" Is Miss Allot Chrtstal, and she runs things In a bus lness-llke way. Her real work Is to train the young ladles who wish to be cloak models to acquire that grace and temperament necessary to show off an $8 skirt so It will look like a creation of Paquln's when they put It on. Miss Chrlstal has a busy factory for the positions of cloak models are attractive ones, paying anywhere from J15 to $35 a week. It Is no unusual thing to hear a proprietor of a cloak house call up the "Model Factory" and say. "Send mo over a 38 and 3S and a tall one for skirts." The figures, of course, refer to girls with that bust measure. Oscar Hammersteln, the noted impres sario, who startled Gotham last year by starting a rival opera house, has Just sprung a new one on would-be Melbas and Tetrazlnnis who would fill his cho rus this winter. The new method of selecting slnsrers Is described as the "painless system." but It caused a lot of worry and discomfort to the appli cants who expected to startle the oper ntlc world with their efforts. Before each aspirant Is asked to run the vari ous scales, a throat specialist exam ines her vocal appurtenance, and before she Is put to the test Mr. Hammerstein has a fair Idea as to what the future may bring out In the 'way of a prima donna. A record of the medical exam ination of each girl Is kept oh a card. and of the first lot who were examined only one had perfect vocal cords. I'p in tho Bronx, where the moving picture shows are Intensely popular and where the rivalry Is keen, the great question has been how to get rid of the many children who come and stav for hours at a time. In some of the places there Is always a crowd In the after noons, and the question of having room Is a pressing one. With the youngsters occupying the neots al nil performances for the price .if on,, the ,)x ,,ffl,-e re ceipts naturally suffer, on,, man. whose place Is near Prospect mid Third ave nues, has solved the problem. H bought a time stamp, ami every ticket ""'""'i in Rianipcii with trie time It Is sold. These tl. k.Ms h re now taken up at the door. Kvery oikc In a while a man goes about Hnd exnmlucN the children's tickets. Those who have been In long enough to allow for a whole performance are requested to leave. Protests don't go, and on more than one occasion a small struggling form has been carried from the place. Tho albino terrapin, one ,,f the mos' valuable exhibits at the Aquarium and the special pet of l r Hpiun ,.r n cnarge or trie rresn water flthex, has been taken to the animal and reptile hospital In Bronx Park, and Is soon to i be operated on for corns. Ills run u unique, and It took a consul i ai lm of Mr. Spencer, his assistant. Mr N'voe ! and "Fish" Jim to decide that surgery was necessary. They r..i,nd a stiffen ing Of the right fore flipper, caused by 1 a calloused Joint, and It In feared that ! "Pinky" may lose the use i,f his "j ad dle" and possibly have to have It ampu tated. The terrapin came fnou Texas I five years ago, and Is one of the very ' few that are known to exist, and n,'. I cording to Mr. Spencer Is the first one he ever saw In captivity.
