IN POU DESIGN Coming Season’s Tastes, by This Time, Are Defined SERGE IS HIGHLY IN FAVOR For Cloth Suits, That Material Has Preference Over All Others —Yel- low se s Color Has Caught the Far\cy of the Parisian of Fashion. THE first openings at the fashion able dressmakers’ are naturally regarded as the Important events of the season. But the later dis plays at these houses sometimes seem more significant, since by that time the designers have felt the. pulse of their clientele and know belter what Is going to be accepted, declares a fashion writer In the Kansas City Star. It was an Interesting study after one of these affairs the other day to go over the list of about eighty gowns that had been ehown and try to deter mine the trend of fashion at that par ticular bouse. The display Included everything from tailored cloth suits to evening gowns. More than half the wool suits were of serge. However, this house does not make a specialty of cloth suits, and It Is quite true that the tailors who do are showing a much greater range of materials. But It le an un mistakable fact that serge Is In favor at the best houses. The other materials used In the cloth suits were covert coating, an ex tremely fine, soft ratine, flannel, and a leather mixture with a smooth, silky ■urface. Quite a number of covert cloth suits have appeared lately, not lu heavy weight, hut In u quality which has all the suppleness demanded this season. Yellow Popular in Europe. The shades of tan or beige In which covert cloth comes are In line with the present popularity of anything that falls into the scale of yellow—a popu larity which Is established In Paris, at any rate, though It has been much slower lu Invading this country Yel- WITH THE NEW POCKETS. ■h w , unam f■ ■}, A I /'I Tailored Drsji of Gray Striped Suede Cloth With Embroidered Vest and Black Patent Leather Belt. low appeared over here almost timidly at first, In blouees, perhaps of chiffon or net or tinted lace. Occasionally a lemon-colored evening gown was seen. And so the thing has gone on, until whole groups of gowns In striking new shades of yellow are now displayed. Many of these shades are really wonderful. But the fact that they are so fascinating constitutes them a veri table yellow peril. Of all trying colors, yellow Is probably the most deadly en •my to the average woman's com plexion. The worst of It Is that the new shade# are so wonderful and palpi tating that women who never before cared for yellow are being fascinated now. If yellow Is adopted for a corsage It Is absolutely essential —except In ex tremely rare coses - that It be separat ed from the face by an ameliorating tone of some more becoming color or combination of colors. With the pres ent eivenlng gowns this Is easily ac corapltshed, for the skirt material plays almost no role In the transpar ent chiffon or lace corsage. But In afternoon or tailored frocks the, prob lem Is serious. Mustard colored ratine, for example, may have other things to recommend It, but It certainly Is not becoming to one woman In a thousand. Tailored Silk Suits. While the bouse above referred to does not make a specialty of cloth suits, It does create charming tailored three-piece dresses In silk fabrics. Those shown the other day were in Bedford cord, cote de cbeval, ratine, canvas and tussor. The coats were either curiously designed short ones, elaborate modifications of the Russian blouse, godet coats, or hip-length ones very slightly cut away In front No “wide open” cutaways were shown In this particular exhibition. Belted coats with godets, or else with the fullness made by platting the lower part on at the waistline, were • feature of some of the most attract ive models. Tunic effects were con spicuous In the coats, as well as decid edly prominent lu afternoon and eve la* OMtIUBM, some of the short coaU evoked a murmur of admiration, but, as a rule, the longer ouee seemed to please bet ter. And yet, If Paris had Its way. the short coat will be extremely fashion able for dressy models. The French women who help the couturiers In Irvnt'hlng the styles have unqualifiedly uoce.ptf.l the bolero, which Is the gen eral name for all those short coals. Just as "Russian blouee” Is the get eral j name for almost every variety of belt ed coat. Patch Pockets on Skirts. A striking and attractive detail of the handsomest suits shown the other day was the placing of patch pockets on the skirt. Sometimes one of these pockets appeared on each side about twelve Inches below the waist line, not toward the front, but actual!) at the sides, below the hips. They were ! about six Inches wide and four or five ! Inches deep. ! One model In light-blue serge had a pocket at the right of the front, while a row of good-sized white pearl but tons was placed at the left of the front. In the back of this arrangement was reversed; the pocket being at the left and the buttons at the right. Ano'her suit had pockets about eight Inches wide and four deep, with flaps orna mented with a close-set row of luige, white pearl buttons. In the dry-goods trade It Is common talk that the demand for silks this year is greater than it has been foi a number of seasons. Not only is the quantity greater, but the variety of kinds used le almost unprecedented. One can see the reason for It In every display of gowns. The Immense popu- Inrlty of the silk suits contributes to ibis demand, hut the afternoon gowns In silk are so unusually Interesting that they have been very successful. Those exhibited the other day were In taffetas, lussor charmeuse, crepe or crepe voile, with one or two in bro cadt poelin and In foulard. Taffetas, lussor and charmeuse were In the lead. Which moves me to comment cnee more on the partiality which the gieat Paris dressmakers have shown this spring for a fabric which, so far. has failed to excite any popular enthusi asm here. Shot Taffetas Popular. At any rate, the enthusiasm has been reserved for the appearance of Ihe new shot taffetas. The charm of this fabric and Its appropriateness as a material for the universal separate coat have won for It immediate favor with women who can afford elaborate wardrobes. Rut whether the rank and file will lake up even the new weaves of taffeta this spring Is doubtful. Tussor is another silk which has had comparatively little attention here, al though In the early news from Paris the all-powerful (’allot was reported to be using It. At Ihe display with which we are concerned just now tussor was employed In several of the coal and skirt suits, as well as in some of the afternoon gowns. However, the best of these models were in special weaves, which 1 have since sought In vain In the shop*. Psyche Knot. Hints of the new spring hats de clare that hair must be dressed In somewhat quaint, old-fashioned styles Hats which are small, flat and long In the back, yet which sit close to the head, will call for some of the ringleted coiffures beloved of our grandmothers Hair needs air, plenty of It, and aunshlne, and heavy rolls have the fatal effect of making the hair thin and keeping It so. Sometimes a braid Is used Just back of the flat pompadour, and the hair Is colled In the back. This gives a round line to the face very satis factory with most features. The Psyche knot Is about as popu lar as any fashion at the present hour, and Is excellent for young girls, WELL WORTHY OF MONUMENT Project on Foot to Erect Memorial to Edwin L. Drake, Who Sunk the First Oil Well. Fifty-four years ago, or, to be exact, on August 27, 1859, oil was struck In western Pennsylvania at a spot which bore the picturesque name of Plthole, now a deserted village, but at one time the scene of epoch-mak ing activities. The man who discovered oil by bor ing for It was a picturesque charac ter, of an adventurous disposition, by the name of Edwin L. Drake, widely known under the title of Colonel. He had observed traces of oil on the sur face of a stream near Titusville and he resolved to sink a well to secure this commodity In larger quantities and to replace the crude methods which the Indians of western Penn sylvania employed. They Immersed blankets to secure the lubricant, more, however, on account of the medicinal qualities of the crude oil than for Its commercial values and uses. It Is proposed by the people of Titusville, Oil City and other cities In the oil regions to erect a monument to Drake to mark the spot where the first oil well was sunk. A Drake memorial museum has already been established at Titusville. The history of the early production of oil In the oil regions of western Pennsylvania reads like a romance, and It Is. Indeed, a romance, founded, however, on the most solid structure of fact. It Is a fact that the discovery of oil was one of the most vital In the his tory of the United States. It seems fitting that some shaft or monument should mark the place where Drake had the prescience to sink the first oil well, which Increased so amazingly the wealth of this country and added so much to the comforts of life. —Wall Street Journal. Pottery Tea Seta. English and American pottery show ing the silver deposit work is very pretty. This Is newer than the deposit on glass, which has lost Us popularity because of Its fragility. An Invalid would appreciate one of the pottery tea sets, which la so In geniously fitted together that It takes up only a few Inches on the tray.

CATCHER LESLIE NUNAMAKER Thu luck of Owner John I. lay lor of the Ltoston Red Sox In getting high-class youngsters for his team is proverbial, and he apparently never made a happier strike than when he landed that husky young giant, Leslie Nunamaker, for backstop duty.

GRAVE UNDER .TREE UPROOTING REVEALS A RO MANCE OF EARLY BOSTON. i Patriotic New Englander Bequeathed Land to Harvard College, From Which It Still Oarlvaa a Small Revenue. The uprooting of an old tree In the Granary burial ground on Tremont street (the Long Acre of the eight eenth century) furnishes the material for a sorrowful record of a Boston family of the early days of the town. In removing the roots of the tree, on the south bounds of the burying ground, next the Park street church, where once stood the town's grajiary, was uncovered a gravestone. It bore this inscription, says the Boston Globe: "Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Rootes, died Oct. 9, 1683, aged 29." Thomas Rootes was a mariner, sail ing to the Island of Jamaica, whither he took fish and staves, and returned with molasses, sugar and tobacco. He owned one-eighth of the ketch, or small vessel, la which Us sailed. From tl)e earnings of bis vessel and Ills wages as u seaman he in 1676 pur chased a small house and strip of land on the east side of Fort Hill. It fronted on the Batterymarcb, now the street of that name. The front of the lot was but eleven and one-half feet, but the lot broad ened out to fifty one feet Ip tbs rear and had a depth of eighty feet. U w-gs purchased of Joseph Grldley, and In the rear were ropewalks which were burned In the fire of 1793. Thomas Rootes had married Eliza beth, daughter of Ambrose Gale of Marblehead. Gale had married Mary, daughter of Samuel Ward- It was Elizabeth Rootes’ grandfather, Sam uel Ward, who when he died Aug. 3U, 1682, gave Harvard college Bumpkin island, between Bingham and Hull. It is the large portion of land wblcb is passed lying at the left hand before entering Hlngham harbor. "The island that 1 have given to the Colldge which Leyetb Betwlxte hlngham and hull called Homkln Is land; my mind Is that It shall be and Remain for eveer to hartord Coledge In Newengland; the Reutt of Itt to be for the easinent of the charges of the Diatte of the Studanttse that are In commonse." The Island then was val ued at £80; In recent years It has yielded the college an annual Income of SSO. Ward also gave Ambrose Gale land at Hull. Ward had lived at Hlngham, but his home was In Charlestown, near the meeting bouse, when ha died. On Sept. 8, 1683, Rootes being about to sail on a voyage to Jamaica made bis will and parted from bis wife and a little daughter, three years old. They were not destined to meet again. The gravestone revealed his wife's death a month later, on Oct. 9, 1683. The father never returned from the voyage, meeting death by sickness or the perils of the sea. His father-in-law, Ambrose Gale, ad ministered on his estate and became guardian of the orphan Mary, who was taken to Marblehead to live with her mother's family. There she mar ried one of them. Azor Gale, in 1798, and had several children. One of these, Azor Gale, Jr., died In Boston In 1728, aged twenty-nine years. In 1705 they sold the house and land on the Batterymarcb In Boston. Azor Gale, Sr , died In Marblehead In 1728, aged fifty nine; bis widow, Mary, some ten years younger, died 1730, aged fifty. Hints on Exercise. Exercise favors tbe growth of bone and muscle. It quickens the elimina tion of waste products. It accelerates the work of the liver, tbe lunge, the skin and the kidneys. It makes more active the brain. It brighten* the eye, clears the skin and tones up the whole organism. The appetite Is made keener and digestion Is aided by a greater appetite for food. But while exercise la absolutely necessary to health and to a perfect digestion, it does not always achieve this end. as for Instance, when it Is taken too soon before or after meals, says Health and Strength. No one should exercise immediately preced lug or following a meal, one hour be fore and iwo hours after eating being the better time. It Is fairly safe, how ever. to fix the time preceding a meal at one hour, for tbe stomach is then somewhat empty. Survival of the Fittest Five-year old Dorothy's pet cat had presented her little mistress with a set of kittens. In spite of tears and pleadings Dorothy was Informed that she could keep only one kitten and that the rest would be drowned A few weeks later the little girl was taken into her mother's room to see the new twins. She looked at them wonderlngly for awhile, then turning to her grandmother she said: "Which one are you going to drown?” Bright Colors Popular. But a few years ago, with the ad vent at the White House of a young lady who liked a certain soft shade of blue particularly, all this was changed, and later when another daughter of the executive mansion lent her favor to a bright pink shade women suddenly appeared to wake up to the fact that they might all wear bright colors If they pleased, and behold all public places where wo men were met together blossomed as the rose. There can be no doubt that the change had added greatly to the plc turesqueness and brilliancy of public assemblages, but as to the general question there Is still, as was said In the beginning, room for doubt.—Ex change.
