TUB FROCKS.
Pointers About the Wash
abls Models For Summer.
Some of the new gingham frocks are
of tbe simplest and most practical
character, frocks meant to stand hard
wear and to be sent to the tub 'when
ever necessary; yet a line here or a
line there, the cleverness In cutting,
the charm of color, the daintiness of
collar and cuffs or gulmpe—such things
as these give even the plainest of tho
models an air of modlshness.
Much Is done with the rather large
block checks In blue and white, black
and white, pink and white, etc., and
one of the simplest yet most popular of
these block check ginghams shows good
lines and finish and pipings of white.
Less practical because not tubbable,
but extremely good looking and orig
inal, is a little dress in which Scotch
plaid gingluui is wedded to black
taffeta. The gay plaid forms most of
the upper part of the frock, but from
the hips down the skirt Is of black
taffeta, and there Is a little of the
black taffeta about the collar and cuffs
and buttons.
Plain gingham was combined with
check or plaid very successfully in
other models, and white pique or white
organdy often relieved the darker col
orings. One red and white broken
plaid frock trimmed in narrow pipings
of red and with a delectable little pep
lum vest and collar of fine white
batiste, hand tucked and embroidered,
was a great favorite with buyers and
pretty enough for summer afternoon
wear whenever one might In other sea
sons have worn a smart linen frock.
There seems to l»e a definite effort to
place the white linen frock In the lime
light, and it would be hard to find any.
thing that would look cooler, crlsper,
more immaculate, for midsummer wear
than fresh white linen, but that word
"fresh" is the shibboleth that linen pro
nounces only with great difficulty. If
there is a material that loses Its fresh
ness more easily and speedily than
white linen, that more quickly looks
mussy and wrinkled and nil that the
summer dress should not look that ma
terial is unreliable indeed.
The colored linens are not only fewer
than usual, but seem on the Dole less
attractive in color, a fau't they share
with many of the season's materials,
thanks to tho complications regarding
dyestuffs. However, there are linens
of lovely colors, even if not in the usual
quantity, and hero and there one sees a
linen frock that Is altogether chnrmtng.

THE AMERICAN GIRL
Distinctive Points That Mark Her
Racial Type.
We may be asked, "Well, what is an
American girl?" She is just this: A
vital person, with a combination of
health, vigor, wholesomeness and beau
ty. The fact that mauy American girls
havein some instances a certain amount
of hereditary foreign blood makes
them, as a class, a delightful combina
tion of personalities. The typical Amer
ican girl Is usually described as being
a tall, slender person, with free and
graceful carriage, plenty of i>oise and a
face that bespeaks a well balanced
mind. One is apt to visualize her as a
person who can adapt herself to any
and all circumstances and be an inter
ested and interesting conversationalist
in groups of young and old. Taking
her all in all, she is a person who is u
delightful companion.
The American girl is generally consid
ered beautiful. If technically analyz
ed, the main charm of her beauty lies
in the fact that her features are chisel
ed, while many of her contemporaries
are beautiful from the standpoint that
their features are molded. There is a
subtle difference. It would be difficult
to state authentically just what the
coloring of the American girl is, for
she is Invariably a blending of nation
alities and thus is a variation of type.
Painted Floors.
No floor Is so bad but that it can be
made presentable by painting. Two
coats are usually necessary and after
that one or two of varnish or shellac..
If the cracks are very wide they may
be filled prior to painting. So many
women feel that their floors are too
bad to permit the use of rugs, but
paint will work wonders.
THE CANNONEER IN
FIELD ARTILLERY
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.

the trouble of caring for horses. The
science Involved ulso uiipeals to an in
telligent man. lie must know about
explosives, fuses, ran sc. trajectory, ve
locity, and so ou, and, what is more,
knowledge here is fighting power.
Nerve is an essential element in the
makeup of a good cannoneer. His gun
or his battery may be a target for a
half dozen enemy guns or batteries.
It may be the last defense of a vital
point, and the enemy, aware of this
fact, lets loose every bolt at command
in order to cri'sh it.
The charging enemy may flank the
zone swept by shells and invade the
battery, bayonet in band, even saber
and pistol. The artillerist is not arm
ed for rough and tumble combat, but
he has s|>onge staff, handbar, saber
and maybe shells loaded to be hurled
as hand grenades. It is a melee, a
tight to the lhiish, and if successful,
the assailants driven off, the cannon- J
eers. the shell carriers, the drivers who
rallird to save the gnus, must resume
action, lind the new range, sight the
pieces and lire "a3 cool as if on pa
rade" or score no hits. For cannoneers
niocltanica'. training, especially in met
als, is good preparedness.
Philippine Fruits.
There have been found in the Philip
pines two fruits entirely unknown to
Europe and even lo America. One of
these Is the durian, which grows on a
lofty tree somewhat resembling an
elm, is about as large as a eocoanut,
has a shiny shell and contains a
creamy pulp which combines some of
the flavors of delicious custard with
those of a fine cheese. American sol
diers in the Philippines have dubbed
the durian the "vegetable limburger."
The other rare fruit Is the mangosteen;
but the exquisitely flavored liquid It
contains has not yet been successfully
preserved for shipping abroad.

Boot Comfort
When the bottom drops out of the thermometer
and there's a trail to be broken, just pull on a pair of
"Hipress" Short Boots or Leather Top "Shupaks" to
unnr fpet warm and comfortable.
JT J
Keep that same pair of "Shorts" or "Shupaks" on until
the mercury hits its highest point in the summer. You'll
find them cool and comfortable. Winter or summer there
is comfort in "Hipress" because the tough, strong rubber
is practically unaffected by heat or cold.
And "Hipress" is not only comfortable, but what's more wonderful,
it has absolutely put an end to hob-nailed half soles. For the soles of White
' Hipress" Boots and Shoes will actually outwear steel. That may seem
impossible, but you can prove it to your own satisfaction by wearing your
first pair of White "Hipress."
Ask your dealer for the Boots or Shoes with the "Red Line 'round the Top."
