Types of Novel Shapes in Parasols |
Out of a turw.dl of shapes and a riot
•f color a few parasols have emerged
from among many novelties to become
favorites for this yeason. The “Chin
Chin" is one of them and the “Pagoda”
another, both patterned after models
which have been introduced to us by
fair Japan or old China. But none of
these novelties holds first place in
point of numbers. The majority of
Women buy the usual shape with
which everyone is familiar and de
pend for novelty on the colors or
the border used or new ways of ad
justing the covering to the frame.
A convenient parasol for those who
are to travel is made with a detach
able handle. By a clever little con
trivance the lower part of the handle
may be made to slip out of the upper
part. This allows the parasol to be
packed in any trunk.
Parasols in all white, in white and
black, and those showing rich Persian
designs in many colors applied to
White or ecru grounds are liked for
all-round wear. Emerald green, and
pongee in the natural color combined
with green, are always in fashion.
Handsome white lace coverings over
taffeta silk makes an elegant sun
shade that one may wear with assur
ance on high occasions every season.
Black and white checks and black
|dnd white stripes mounted with plain
iblack or plain white or with emerald
jgreen have been used to make many
•mart patterns. Plain parasols lined
^ritb silk in a bold checkerboard pat
tern in black and white, the checks
amost two IncheB square, are attrac
tive but an extreme development of
the mode.
A pagoda parasol is shown in the
picture given here, made of black silk
with border in black-and-white stripes
and handle in all-black wood. The
ribs are deeply curved, it is almost
the opposite in shape to the whit9
“Chin-Chin” parasol with straight
ribs covered with chiffon. Strips of
white embroidered chiffon cover each
line made by the ribs, showing through
on the upper side. The strips end in
points. They overlap at the top, mak
ing the thin and fragile cover a trifle
more practical.
In selecting a parasol for real serv
ice in hot weather it is not to be for
gotten that black concentrates the
heat and looks warm, too.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Of Flowered Tapestry.
Cushions having the appearance of
durability and elegance are made of
flowered tapestry. The design should
be small and artistis, in good colors
that blend nicely with the background.
Good cloth, flowered in pastel prints,
is suitable for a handsome room, but
such pieces as olive, cardinal, blue and
green, with small flowers, are best for
general use. Sofa cushions made of
burlap and embroidered with raffia are
quaint, serviceable and Inexpensive,
for there is quite a difference between
the float of raffia and embroidery silk.
Collar and Cuff Sets of Organdie
Just at the moment the Quaker col
lar and cuff sets of plain, fine organdie
are the most popular of all the dis
plays at the neckwear counter. For
decoration they confine themselves to
fine sprays of embroidery in floral pat
terns, or hemstitching, or edgings and
insertions of very narrow lingerie
laces.
But there are numbers of novelties,
less plain, about to make their entry
for the Christmas shopper’s benefit.
Among them is the pretty set of plait
ed and embroidered organdie shown
in the picture above. This is designed
to be worn with the simple one-piece
afternoon frock of silk or the plain
blouse of a dark color.
The collar is made in three parts
A section at the back of the plaited
organdie is finished with hemstitching
and adorned with very small sprays
ot embroidery. The shaped revers at
the front are plain, finished about the
edges with hemstitching, and carry
sprays of fine embroidery that almost
cover them.
The cuffs are plaited and the ends
are rounded, showing the same pat
tern in embroidery that appears on
tfte collar. At the center of each cuff
is a narrow panel of embroidery.
Nothing does the beholder or the
wearer more good than these fresh
and daint} sets. They are modest in
price, even when bought ready-made,
and cost next to nothing wher made
by the capable needlewoman foi her
self. They wear well and launder p»*
fectly. JULIA BOTTOM LEV

105 FRENCH MARINES
ELUDE FOES 37 DAYS.
Break Through German Line In 315
Mile Retreat From Belgrade.
A story of au extraordinary march
of a small body of French marines,
who have arrived at Monastir from
Belgrade ufter covering more than 30U
miles afoot and passing through the
Austrian lines, is told by the corre
spondent of the London Daily Mail at
Saloniki. lie says:
“One hundred and five French sailors
from Craiovo. near Belgrade, have ar
rived at Monastir after covering more
than 315 miles afoot and passing
through the enemy's lines. They went
by a roundabout way. via Prizrend and
Dibru. and. overcome with the extraor
dinary difficulties, five were left on the
way. two of them dead and three
wounded.
“Commander Pitot and seven other
officers nceumpauied the detachment,
which dii! excellent work at Belgrade.
They destroyed a bridge and seriously
damaged two of the six Austrian moni
tors at Seinlin. Their battery of three
guns was discovered by enemy aero
planes and for three days, supported by
English and Russian batteries, was un
der a terrible fire.
“Two large shells dropi>ed almost ev
ery second for eighteen hours with
awful precision. The battery was so
well protected by shields and earth
works that it was able to reply, shell
for shell, until its supply of ammuni
tion was exhausted and two of its
guns were destroyed. By a miracle the
detachment had only two men serious
ly wounded and only one killed.
“When the ammunition ran out they
destroyed the guns and on the evening
of Oct. S begun their retreat. Using
their rides and bayonets, they rushed
the German line and got through.
Much suffering was endured during
the retreat, which occupied thirty
seven days in a mountainous country,
the men carrying only their rifles and
cartridges.”
The correspondent adds that a Brit
ish detachment was expected at Mon
astir several days ago, but no definite
news of it can be obtained.
BURIED; SAVED BY DOG.
Pet Burrows Into Pile and Finds Young
Master.
Buried in a sand pile at Flushing.
N. Y., Ilnrolil. eight-year-old son of
Mrs. Adele Schultz, was saved from
death, according to the boy's mother,
by their pet dog Sport, a fox terrier.
“Harold, w ith his fourteen-year-old
brother Herbert and his five-year-old
sister and two companions, went for
a walk," said Mrs. Schultz. "The chil
dren were romping when Herbert
missed Harold.
“After a search of a few minutes
Harold's hat was found on a sand pile.
The children were attracted to the sand
pile by the barking of the dog, which
burrowed his way into the sand until
one of Harold's feet appeared.
“The children pulled him out of the
sand uncouscious and carried him
home. The boy is all light, but he had
a very narrow escape. After he recov
ered consciousness he explained that
the sand caved in upon him.”

WEATHER AND THE SCHOOL1
Cold, Calm and Ctaar Days Show ttj
Pupils at Thsir Boat.
Teaching children Is not the easiest
thing In the world, it presents a prob
lem complicated by many and divers*
factors. Some of these ore only now
beginning to be properly appreciated.
One such Is the Influence of weather
conditions.
Investigation has shown that tb«
state of the weather has a marked ef
fect both on the children’s conduct
and on their mentnl and physical pow
ers.
This was first clearly brought out a
few years ago by an American psy
chologist. Professor E. G. Dexter,
whose researches still are among tha
most exhaustive and informing that
have been made in this novel field of
inquiry.
Professor Dexter, studying condi
tions in tbe schools of cities at sea
level, like New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia, and of others at high alti
tudes, found that In the former the pu
pils were best behaved on cold, calm
and clear days. Muggy days were pro
ductive of the greatest unrullness. A
marked tendency to misbehavior was
also noted on hot days and on windy
ones.
In high altitude schools, such as
those of the city of Denver, where
mugginess Is seldom In evidence,
windy days were found to have the
most disastrous effect on conduct
Cold, calm and clear days were again
the days of best behavior.
With respect to working ability tb*
same results were observed. Both
mental and physical tasks were best
performed on cold, calm and clear
days. — H. Addington Bruce In New
York Globe.
MACE OF THE SPEAKER.
Ancient Emblem Used In the House ot
Representatives.
In one respect the house of repre
sentatives surpasses the senate in dig
nity. The senate has no mace. Now
a mace Is not much in the way of fur
niture. It is a silver eagle mounted
upon a staff around which are bands 01
silver.
This mace is always an emblem oi
the house of representatives. It is tb«
duty of one employee to look after it
Just before a session of the house be
gins he takes it from the office of th«
sergeant at arms into the bouse cham
ber, and as soon as the speaker's gavel
falls be inserts it in a socket in a stdne
pillar at the right of the speaker's
chair. The mace remains there while
the house is in session and is taken out
and stood beside its pedestal when the
house is in committee of the whole.
When the house adjourns the mace is
carried hack to the office of the ser
geant at arms.
This ancient emblem has not a thing
to do with the order of business of the
house save as one of the old time regu
lations that are continued. When the
house is turbulent an officer seizes the
mace and walks through the aisles.
Only once or twice when the speakei
failed to preserve order, said a Wash
ington correspondent, have I seen an
officer seize the mace and walk through
the house, waving it backward and for
ward. Possibly the sight of it brought
members to their senses and they re
tired to their seats. At all events, that
is about the only real use for the macs
that I ever have observed.
What a Toad Enjoys.
There are few things more amusing
than to watch a toad submitting to the
operations of a back scratching. He
Will at first look somewhat suspicious
ly at the twig which you are advanc
ing toward him, but after two or three
passes down his back his manner un
dergoes a marked change, his eyeg
close with an expression of infinite
rapture, he plants his feet wider apart,
and his body swells out to nearly dou
ble its ordinary size, as if to obtain by
these means more room for enjoyment
Thus he will remain until you make
some sudden movement which startlet
him or until he has had as much pet
ting as he wants, when, with a puff of
regretful delight, he wlil reduce him
self to his usual dimensions and hop
away, bent once more on the pleasures
of the chase.
Fish In Former Times.
Men of former ages, unless they lived
near the sea 0-7 r river, had great diffi
culties in gratifying their taste for fish.
The great houses had their fish pond*
or stews, but sea fish, such as cod,
bream, sturgeon, herring and sprats,
were salted, and the excessive con
sumption of highly salted fish in the
middle ages is said to have produced
leprosy. Fish was also baked in pies tc
enable It to be carried for great dis
tances.

BACHARACH

to Second District Con
gressman.
Washington, Dec. 6—Speaker Champ
Clark, an unexpected addition to the
distinguished guests who greeted Rep
resentative Isaac Bacharach at a ban
quet tendered him tonight at the New
Willard Hotel by Atlantic City admir
ers, heard “Uncle Joe’’ Cannon sound
paeans of praise for Republican prin
ciples and make a starring defense
of the “hyphenated” citizen.
Ex-Speaker Cannon, pleading with
his cheering auditors to make allow
ances for his 79 years, asserted the
belief that the tremendous growth of
the nation from the time of Lincoln
to a few short years ago left little
doubt as to what economic policies
were best for the American people.
He accorded to Democrats the same
patriotic principles that are the boast
of the Republican party, and his voice
was drowned out when he said that
all parties* had contributed in every
way they knew how to the national
growth. Democrats within his hear
ing led the applause when he conced
ed the high moral purposes of the
college professor who had become the
head of the nation.
“We hear much talk,’ he said,
“about the hyphenated German and
the hyphenated Scotch-American. I
have not much respect for the man
coming from a foreign land whose
sympathies do not go out as a matter
of course to his brother in the trench
es abroad, whether they be under the
German, the French or any other flag.”
Senator Penrose paid a tribute to
Mr. Bacharach as did the other speak
ers. Senator Penrose was hailed as
‘‘Our Next President.” He smiled and
bowed to his well wishers. But the
New Jersey men shouted, “Edge Edge,
our next Governor,” Senator Edge’s
boom for the New Jersey nomination
gained headway while here.
Representative Browning, of Cam
den, presided at the dinner, which was
attended by more than 200. Among
the New Jerseyites here were State
Senator Walter Edge, Commissioners
of Atlantic City W. H. Bartlett and J.
B Thompson, Sheriff Joseph R. Bart
lett and State Labor Commissioner
Bryant.
ANOTHER
NEW HOTEL
A hotel which will cost not less than
$1,000,(MW and which may be built at
a cost of $1,600,000, is to be erected
on the site of the old Windsor Hotel,
Atlantic City. Work on the mammoth
structure will be commenced within
two weeks.
The announcement was made last
night by Jules E. Mastbaum, agent for
the owners of the property, which is
valued at $900,000. The site is one of
the finest in Atlantic City. It has a
frontage of some 150 feet on the ocean
directly across from the Hotel Tray
more, the most pretentious of Atlan
tic City’s hostelries, whose owners
value their land the new hotel build
ing at $4,000,000.
For years, ever since the famous
Windsor Hotel, built in 1884, was torn
down in 1911, the big lot has stood
vavant. Rumor after rumor that a
new hotel was to be built there has
arisen, but has been denied. Only a
row of one-story shops now occupies
the Boardwalk frontage of the com
pany. The annual rentals derived
from these shops has been estimated
at $50,000, so favorable is the location.

The Atlantic City Press printed th*
following of Mrs. Carrie Dare Tomlin
son, formerly of Bridgeton.
“Mrs. C. Tomlinson Dare, of the
Casino Shop, is becoming a business
woman of national importance owing
to the patronage of Mrs. Galt the fi
ancee of President Wilson, who has
ordered several gowns for her trous
seau from Mrs. Dare's W ashington es
tablishment on Connecticut avenue. ,
Mrs. Dare is no stranger to the White
House contingent, as both Mrs. Sayre
and Mrs. McAdoo, the President’s
daughters, also ordered gowns for
their trousseaux from Mrs. Dare.
“Since the announcement of the ap
proaching nuptial of theh President
and his fiancee, Mrs. Dare has been
besieged by reporters for information
concerning the choice of Mrs. Galt s
wedding raiment. Observing the wish
es of her distinguished patron, she is
divulging nothing.
“The New York Herald on Novem-J
ber 25th printed the following dispatch
from its Washington Bureau:
“ ‘It has become known that Mrs.
Galt is putting the finishing touches
on a trousseau which she is having,
prepared at a shop within two blocks
of her own residence. Mrs. C. Tom
linson Dare, the proprietor, maintains
an establishment also at Atlantic City.
She is an mporter and also designs
many of thf creations for which her
establishment is famous among smart
dressers. . ! 1 H*lf
“ ‘Afternoon, evening and morning
gowns are included in the collection1
Mrs. Galt is having prepared in an
ticipation of becoming the bride of the
president next month. Several hats
for many occasions are also in the list
of purchases. While the trousseau
will prove adequate to the demands of
thea bride of the White House, the
number is not extravagantly large.
The materials, in the main, are of Am
erican manufacture. The models are
in some cases of French inspiration,
but in some instances there have been
radical changes in line and color.
“ ‘Several of Mrs. Galt’s costumes
are original creations made with spe
cial reference to her type and the re
quirement of her new station. None
of the costumes has been revealed in
detail, but in discussing the trousseau
in general, Mrs. Galt’s close friends
declare that, despite frenzied rumors,
the entire wardrobe now preparing for
the next mistress of the White House
will be the product of New York and
Washington shops, the larger portion
of the collection being prepared by
Mrs. Dare, who is herself American
born and bred.’ ”
XMAS RED GROSS SEALS
The Civic League is beginning to
work upon the plans for the distribu
tion of the Christmas Red Cross seals.
They will be sent out to the schools
this week for sale among the pupils.
The number needs in each room above
the third grade are being collected and
are to be sent to the Civic League
authorities today. All of this work is
done by the School Chairmen and the
principals are not bothered with it.
New selling plans and conditions will
be given out this year. No pupils will
be allowed to take orders for seals in
advance . All of these conditions will
be explained to the pupils on Friday
at the Junior Civic League meeting.
Every pupil this year will have a
chance to secure two prizes. Cards,
buttons and medal pins will be award
ed to the children according to the
number of seals sold. Pupils selling
only ten seals will get a card. In this
way, enthusiasm will be stimulated
even among those pupils who might
think that they could not sell many
seals. Buy some seals and help the
work of the Civic League. The mon
ey from the seals will go toward the
expenses of the Red Cross Nurse, Miss
Marian F. Horrocks, whose work is of
so much importance to the city.
MISS FITHIAN’S FUNERAL
