She Is good to look at. interesting to talk to, and for a day's outing the"1 best chum in the world. 'v That the shirt-waist' girl Is pretty -apt to be good-natured has become a matter of history. And, believe It or not, much of her sunny disposition depends upon her clothes. She' knows1 she looks cool and she feels so. She realizes that she Is smartly and ap propriately gowned, and yet she Is per fectly comfortable: consequently, the Is In for a frolic and sees only the Jolly side of life.! Thl Is the typical young summer girl, and right here let it be understood that the shirt-waist suit that most convenient of costumes has a desirable way of disguls lng a woman's age. Thtre hare been actual cases where It has been credited wllU taking ten years off a woman s age. With the cotton shirt-waist suits the em broidered linen belt and collar is the best taste. A leather belt la the next choice and the very newest thing right now is the wide, unllned leather belt. It must be sufficiently pliable' to cling to the figure and It must be twice as wide as It was last summer. Pretty bolls of linen shoe strings, say In blatk and white, are a novel accessory to the shirt-waist girl's costume. Belts of stitched taffeta are also worn and ery many linen bells, embroidered in French knots. White calf belts, fastening with heavy mother-ol-pearl harmss buckles, are un other rad of the moment. .Many of ilie smarte.-t looking shirt-waist suits are tr.mmed with pearl buttons, and when the shirt waist does not fasten la trout willi these bi, effective buttons then It fastens up the back with tiny pearl buttons. Toe new shirt waists are all cut to givo Naturally, this one fact alone Is sufficient 1 he L.road shoulder effect and to emphasize ftiu ui uiie uuuer me aim. lae veiy baggy blouse is not as conspicu ous as it was. out the shirt-waist sleeve has galntd In fubuess what the blouse has losu Alans;, times the long sloping shoulder ef fect is produced by ihe trimming, which frequently taiUs the foim of a lab-shaped btrap. cHIRTrWAlST SETS ARE ATTRACTIVE ACCESSORIES. Shirt-waist sets are among the attractive diess acce.-soi le.i to tempt the modish girl. 'ihey cont-'Ut of buttons for the front of the shirt wa.st, curt bunoiis and belt pin, und s-onietlmes a belt buckle to match, and thtte little plna for" fastening the stock are audwl. Tnere Is simply no end to the variety of thti-e flurt-waist sets. come are of imiiui.on turquoise set In sliver rlnib; otbexs are of jade in an an tique golu setting, and still others are of giay-ltuished tirvcr. representing flowers such as awect pea, carnations and viofe'.s in anape. Tile gun-metal sets studded with rhlne stoi.es ate aiso much In favor. The smart-looking shirt-waist girl is Just as particular in selecting her hat as sne to guarantee Its popularity. However, it Is not only their youth-giving- quallties that make the shirt-waist suit appeal so strungiy to the summer girl. The new dresses In themselves, merely for thelr,beauty, are a deilght to every woman. They are twice as good-looking as they "were, last year and twice as elaborate. HAND EMBROIDERY AND' INSETS OF COAREE LACE. This season they show much hand m broidery and many Inlets of coarse, effect ive, lace. 'Hie skirts are made unllned and are in tins' newest approvnl cut, clinging closely to the figure over the hips and showing much fullness towatd the hem. All the shirt-waist suits have a marked tendency to show to Its very best advantage the fetching French curve figure, which makes this year's summer girl the trimmest and most shapely girl we have had for injur a long yea.. It' Is" the Rosalind, a simple little device for holding belt of skirt, waist and under skirt exactly in' the right place, which gives this rauch-to-be-deslred French curve. ishlft-waist suits this year are also spe cially interesting, because of their charming varictj-.

One hundred hectares' of. land to all-comeTS is the Inducement of fered to settlers by Honduras." says Percy Wilson, a botanist connected with the New York Botanical Gardens, whose collecting trip in that South American country was in terrupted by the revolution now in progress, 'Jand no country offers so many possibilities of success to the energetic man with little or no capital. "The country Is a veritable paradise," continued llr. Wilson; "bananas and fruits 3f. all. kinds grow' wild In greatest abun dance, chocolate, vanilla, parsaparilln, and the valuable rubber tree abound in the for ests, and the country is also ncteil for its medicinal roots.
