Net Waist Draped With Lace and Silk
Matty Mclntyre, Former
Contrary to general opinion, a ball
player doesn't have to uso Impolite
language to bo ejected from a gnmo.
One day last eumraor at Comlskoy
park, Chicago, several White Sox play
ers told the things they had done to
eerlously ruflle the feelings of umplros.
Billy Sullivan, famous Sox catcher,
seldom argueB with an umplro. When
he does It is bocause liq Is convinced
that bo Is right.
During the garao In question Sulli
van believed the umplro missed a
strike, in a pinch, and ho was about
to kick when ho noticed the plato was
almost obscured by dust. Ho stopped,
and, wiping tho dust away with his
big glove, squatted behind the batter
and signaled tho pitcher.
Imagine Sullivan's surprise, as he
waited for his pitcher, to hear tho
umpire eay his services were no longor
required In that particular gamo.
"Why, I huven't oponod my mouth,"
eald the surprised catcher.
"I realize that," replied tho ump,
"but you are entirely too proficient
with tho deaf and dumb language."
"That reminds mo of how I wan
chased under peculiar circumstances,"
chirped Matty Mclntyre. "In a gamo
at Detroit, when I was a Tiger, an
umplro called what I thought was s
bad strike. To show my indignation
I walked in a clrclo around the umplro
and catcher. I didn't mean a thing,
but I was sore.

Amorlcan League Star,
"Tho crowd took tho cue and started
after tho umpire. When I roeumed my
position In tho box tho ump remarked:
'"Well, Mclutyro, you march so
well, supposo you carry tho parado to
the clubhouse.'
"'You don't moan Tin out of tho
gamo, do you? I demanded.
"'That's Just It. You missed your
calling when you began playing ball.
You'd make a bettor soldier.' And I
had to beat It."
"Fielder Jones and Tim Hurst pulled
a funny one," said Doc White, tho
great southpaw pitcher. "I was pitch
ing and Fielder wan not agreeing with
Tim's ruling. As was his habit, ho
would ruBh In from center to dispute
tho point with Tim.
"Finally the foot race and argument
got on Tim's norves and ho decided to
stop it. As Jones started In for tho

gucseod Tim's intention and stopped
to talk with Ceorgo Davis at short.
But Hurst was not to bo fooled.
"'Keep on a-comlng, Jones, until

All threo had a tendoncy to blow In

ONE of thoso pretty fancy waists
Which aril n OH all V mndn hv ilrnnlnir
a net foundation with silk or chiffon
and laco Is pictured here. Any wom
an who can bow oven a little can man
ngo a waist of this kind and got re
sults that will delight her.
Tho blouso shown in tho picture is
mado over a ready-mado foundation
waist of cream-colored not, cut with
a round neck and elbow sleeves.
Waists of thla kind, or of inexpensive
all-over laco, may be had for a dollar
or two. And, slnco fashion decrees
that clothes are not to fit but to hang
upon tho flguro, a ready-mado founda
tion Is altogether satisfactory for use
In making a dressy blouBe of laco or
of crepo or silk or chiffon, or com
binations of these fabrics.
Over tho foundation waist of net
there Is a surplice drapery of wido
shadow laco. It Is gathered in at tho
shoulder seams and brought to the
waist lino at tho front and back,
whero it is sowed Into tho narrow belt
or tape that finishes the net waist.
This gives tho blouso tho full, soft ap
pearance which is required for atyle
and for beauty.

Tho toquo frame Is rather long and
narrow. Tho coronot Ib covered with
narrow folds of crape laid on in a
pattern. The veil falls from tho back
and is a part of tho hat, not remov
able. It falls not qulto to tho waist
line. This veil Is n good typo of thoso
used this season, It Is entirely of
crapo, with a throe-Inch hem, and
somowhat shorter than the average of
former seasons. Veils as u rule, are
shorter and are used as a part of
tho deBlgn.
Tho turban is to bo worn with a
faco veil of net bordered with a nar
row fold of crape. Tho frame la cov

Foulard Frocks.
Taffeta continues to bo tho silk pre
eminent of Uie season. Nevertheless
molro In all Its different variations of
silk and crepo nnd wool and faille Is
holding Its own. What Ib moro re
markable, however, Is tho reappear
anca of foulards, banished now these
few seasons past. With their quaint
doslgns carried out by tho everlasting
scalloped edges of tho present soason
these frocks aro certainly very effec
tive. They havo, nevertheless, a
stror-jg rival in th crf ''n t
tho back and In front. This is fin
ished with a very narrow hem and a
fold of chiffon, in the samo color as
tho crepe. It Is placed over the waUt
and sewed In at the waist line. The
shoulder Is long and tho armholes ore
finished with a narrow border of chif
fon. Sleeves of net dyed to match the
crepe in color aro placed over the
sleeves of tho foundation and sewed
down to them nt tho armholes. Tho
crepo bodlco extends ovor the arm's

Short motifs of dyed lace with
touches of silk embroidery In tur
quoise blue, pnlo green and' silver
throad aro placed over the full laco
surplice at tho front. Tho round neck
Is finished with narrow velvet ribbon
In turquoise blue.
Thero is a wide, soft girdle of the
crepe de chine, which fastens In front
and, aa a .finishing touch, frills of
plaited net nro set on to the sleeves.
Such a waist would bo as effective

Combinations of black and whlto In
tho samo hat dovelop wonderfully at
tractive millinery and demonstrate
that it Is the fabric rather than its
color which signifies its use and pur
pose. Among tho shapes fashionable this
