They do wnot readily show the stains of that sort of travel and withstand hard and continuous usage. They do not call for Indeed, there should be no loose ends to flutter, no braids to rip, no buttons ‘to fall from the mountain costime.

The other is that they are a protection. from briars and mosquitoes. Striped and Plain Materials Combined. Striped and plain materials com- bined are fashioned into most effec- tivé looking mountain costumes. Roman designs of not too vivid shades are used for collar, cuffs and underskirt of coat suits of the more ‘conventional type. But: somewhat out of the ordinary and decidedly -distinctive is a costume whose striped “skirt - in * tete-de-negre and blue shows between the open fronts of a tete-de-negre redingote, S0 called, although cut in two lower sec- tions.

At top it is slightly gathered—in fact, merely attached loosely to the narrow inside band joining it to the upper portion. This is actually a blouse with wide apart fronts joined from the bust line by broad sashes of the material., These, crossed at the waist, run down over the hips to the back of the polo- naise. On the shoulders the blouse starts without fulness under a deep yoke, rever-shaped front and rounded across the back. TFinishing its neck in a narrow rolled-over collar in blue corded silk. The sleeves are interesting because, while attached to very low-dropped arm-eyes, they fasten closely about the wrists with three buttons eet within the scallops which finish their edges. The rows of buttons and scallops are the only vestiges of trimming about this costume. Green Serge Ideal for Rough Wear. Serge in darkest green—not the hunters’ shade, but the one which comes nearest to English ivy leaf tone -—makes an ideal mountain frock. The hue' perfectly blends with the foliage of the trees, the clay of the trails and the mysterious depths of forest pools. Moreover, it does not fade and grass stains do not show plainly upon it. A model which originally had a black satin underskirt, as made up for a mountain camp guest, is all in ivy-leaf serge save for a broad crush belt in black satin. Its long-sleeved bedice is all but tight-fitting. That is to say, it clings to the figure every- where excepting across the waist- line’s center, where its straight-but- toned fronts are slightly puckered. From either-side, below the bust, the front forms are extended into a tas- sel-ended self girdle long enough to cross over the satin belt, encircle the hips and knot at the right side. These tassel-tipped ends upon the scanty upper skirt, really the skirt proper, for the lower one does not count for more than a pet- ticoat—which, gathered all around to its waistband, falls in straight folds to the ankles. ‘White Collar and Cuffs Only Relief. White touches relieve the dense green of this frock in the shape of rique turned-back cuffs and a flaring turned-over collar. It i8 the best sort of neckwear for use in the moun- tains, as it rolls high about the throat at back and sides and protects its cuticle from sunburn, Beware of Silk Sweater! Do not be persuaded to take a knitted silk sweater into the moun- tains. On the trails they are a ruisance because of -the projecting twigs which get entangled with their meshes. A tweed outing coat is better. If you are getting a new one for your Adirondack visit, best order something with a rainproofed sirface. FEATURE PICTURES ARE SHOWN AT FOX’S drop Showing none but the very best fea- ture photo-play productions on the market, and a strictly exclusive pro- gram, Fox’s theater is gaining po; ularity daily. ‘““When Paris Loves,” a three-part production featuring Mme. Robinne and an all star cast !from the celebrated Comedie-Fran- caise, Paris is the stellar attraction on today’s motion picture program. The story deals with an art student who had become infatuated with a fellow artist of the opposite sex, and is determined to marry her against the wishes of his father, who had already made the selection for him. The student’s funds being cut off, he returns home defiant, but finally ac- cedes to his father's wishes. Reluc- tantly he leaves all that had been dear to him. In the meantime the girl he had left in Paris has’ become famous through winning the grand prize at the Paris Salon with her su- perb masterpiece “Abandoned.” How the two lovers are brought together again and united, how his father’s remonstrances are quickly conquered make a charming love story, filled wih pretty sentiment that touches the vital spot. Another feature that will please and entertain is ‘“Hopes of Blind Alley,” a three-part Universal attraction. The story is an excellent one, tense, in- teresting and highly dramatic. Still another feature that will particularly interest the kiddies as well as the grown-ups is “The Universal Boy." featuring Little Matty. Matty meets ex-President Rcosevelt, Oscar Ham- merstein, the impresario, Lincoln Beachey, the aeronaut and Barney Oldfield, the automobile speed wizard, end breaks into vaudeville with some wonderful -imitations. BEST PHOTO PLAYS NEW FRICTION MEANS CLEAN HANDS AND A SWEET TEMPER EACH PATTERN CAN BE USED Street FAMOUS MYSTIFIER ON KEENEY'S BILL Pitiroff, Russia’s famous mystifier, is doing duty as Keeney's headliner this week. He is presenting a series of startling feats in which he demon- strates remarkable skill. He manages to escape from handcuffs, strait- jeckets, ropes and other contrivances used to test his skill His feat of releasing himself from a trunk in which he has been placed while bound hand and foot is one of the most batfling things ever seen in this city. Lest night’s audience marvelled at his work and applauded him liberally. Fitiroff makes a complete change in his act every day and during the week IN NEW BRITAIN Don't fail to drop in the pretty and coolest and best ventilated theater in town, the Bijou, and enjoy a two hour Program of the best photo-plays that can be produced. Our feature today is a two reel Lubin plcture, “The Debt,” “Wiggs Takes the Rest Cure,” “Broncho Billy’s Punishment,” “King Baby's Birthday,” and seven other fine photo reels. Special attention given to ladles and children. Admis- sion five cents, he will introduce a number of tricks which he did not atempt for the “first nighters.” Besides his stage exhibi- tion Pitiroff has been persuaded by the management to give his big free show tomorrow afternoon at 12:30. While suspended by his heels in mid- air, the wily Russian will make an escape from a leather strait-jacket ir full view of everyone on the street. The exhibition will be given in front of the theater. Novel dancing constitutes a major part of this week’s program and the disciples of Terpsichore find great fayor with the audience. Quinn, Cav- natigh and Quinn, offer a novel turn in which they do some splendid danc- ing. They introduce the Texas Tommy, hard-shoe dances and other fancy gyrations that are cleverly executed. Otto Steiner and Lottie Goodman also do some remarkable dancing. Mr. Steiner makes up splendidly as a Dutch character and intersperses his work with some bright comedy. Miss Goodman, who is one of the original Goodman sisters, known the world over for their dancing ability, does some fancy steps. His acrobatic dancing, which is typically English, is different from what Keeney patrons are accustomed to and last evening it went big. This clever young lady has just completed an engagement of several weeks in the country’s biggest vzudeville houses and if the European trouble is sufficiently settled to permit of her return to the continent, she intends to leave for England next wmonth. Six Argentine musicians give a con- cert on the marimbo that is most pleasing. They show wonderful ability on this instrument and ex- tract some pleasing music from it. Richard’s animals are the big laugh getters of the show. There are monkeys, baboons and bears in this turn and each shows the results of years of patient effort on the part of the trainer. They go through their paces without any urging and bring a great deal of comedy into play. Latest war news will be shown in motion pictures again tonight, Pathe's daily being one of the features of the program, Tomorrow night Pathe's weekly will be shown and on Thurs- day, a new episode in “The Perils of | Fauline”” will be depicted.

Remember that savory and relish- ing eatables are better than sweets in the picnic hamper. Old linen shirts should be cut up into wash cloths and finished with a loop to hang them by. If crackers or breakfast foods lose their crispness, expose them a few minutes in a quick oven. The brilliancy of diamonds sapphires is greatly enhanced rubbing with eau de cologne. and by A fireless cooker is a great help in canning time. Especially is it use- ful in canning vegetables. i Buying in large quantities for the household sometimes leads to a waste- ' ful use, and is a doubtful economy. Clippings from cloth garments make excellent fillings for cushions. They should be finely shredded. A square of good chocolate sup- plies more nourishment than some other foods many times its bulk. Always choose a rather thin fish for broiling. The best are mackerel, bluetish, bass, trout and fresh herring. . ‘ Fads and Fashions !

The little girl must also wear white if she would be fashionable. Adaptations of the old-time prin- Wasted Energy By RUTH CAMERON. One of the worst habits a human being can get into is that of di things in the mind before he does them in reality. The other night as I lay on the couch I saw a magazin lying under the chair. “I must pick that up when I get up,” my mind registered. Then I went on reading. But presently I found my mind wi not entirely on my book. A part of it was picking up that magazine Now I hate to stoop over. Those portions of housekeeping such as mak: ing beds, using a dust pan, dusting the lower parts of the pantry, etc. which involve stooping, 1 dislike the most. Therefore the thought o picking up that magazine was an unwelcome one and hence it ob my mind. Finally 1 got up, picked up the magazine and went back to my book. But I was ashamed of myself for doing that, I should have b able to’ put the matter absolutely out of my mind until I was ready attend to it. Next time I shall try to do that, for, as 1 say, I think habit of permitting one’s mind to be obsessed by something you going to do later is extremely dangerous to one's happiness and oM. ciency. It is this habit that often tires housekeepers more than their ac work. A neighbor of mine lay in the hammock on her rose veranda swinging idly to and fro. It was a beautiful afternoon; her of the day was done; she had on a becoming gown; she should have happy and at peace. But I noticed every now and then an anx look came into her face and I enquired the reason. “I am thinking about that fruit I am going to preserve tomorrow, she answered, “and wondering where I will put it when it's done, pantry is so crowded already.” You see she was doing in her mind work that she would actually on the morrow and thus doubly tiring herself. A friend of mine who hates to get up in the morning says while she lies in bed dreading to start she thinks about it so ints that she seems to project an imaginary self out of bed. “Again again I can feel myself get up and go over to the chair where my clotl are, before I actually do get up.” Now don’t you think such a process must tire her? A similar habit is to have several things one wishes to seething around in the back of une’'s mind and to torture one's by going over them every little while. For instance, there are a half a dozen little things you want to put your bag when you go away. You think of them; try to recall them few hours later; find you have forgotten, remembered them; and t} forget them again. Now that is all needless wear and tear on the mind. Free mind of it at once in one of two ways, Either get those things to ready to put in the bag, or make a list of them. A tired mind is worse than a tired body, because it is so much difficult to get it rested. So do ot lessen your eficiency by m your mind do the things that your body should do.
