Rushing Season
With Local
Hushing season hu com that Is, the
morn obvious manlfe stations of It have.
Aa a matter of fact rushing hae been ad
mirably systematized and there la method
In It from start to finish. To the. unini
tiated the. local alumna la the most amaz
ingly gracious creature of which ahe has ;
ever known. Such attentions aa the High
irhool girl graduate receives from this i
experienced one w ho, having been through
college. Is so solicitous for her who ex- i
perts to enter this fall. But, poor little
high srlviol girl, how much she baa atlll
to learn.
Systematic, rushing began among local
sorority members early In July, when,
armed with a Hat of desirable possible
members, they went forth In twoa and
threes to call on the 'Yushees." girls who
will go off to college this fail and who
will make desirable "actives." Having
Impressed the "rushee" with thla first
step, a more active campaign begins. The
game has just now reached this stage, and
during the coming month the desirable one
will be entertained at least once a week
by the designing ones who would claim
her for their own. With at least half a
dozen active alumnae associations in town,
the state In which the "desirable" girl
flnd.i herself by the close of the month
can he readily Imagined. However, she
will have gained wisdom from It all and
so be more fit for making the most of
the final rush, which cornea the week be
fore the state university opens next
September. Tho middle of August will
brlii),' a budget of parties for this stren
uous week the Invitations usually going
out at least six weeks in advance. Of
course, unless a rushee has an overde
veloped sense of honor and has her mind
msdo up which sorority she will Join, she
accepts every Invitation she can and makes
the moat of her opportunity until she Is
actually pledged.
And then she must come back to earth
again, the recognizes that local alumna
for Just what she Is, but she has no
further choice. Once more she drops back
io the place of Juat an ordinary girl that
is, when she Is not even less, for the
lot of the freshman In the chapter la not
enviable a :d Its chief compensation at
times 1b the fact that ahe Is a full-fledged
sorority girl.

boned stock of medium height, made of
val insertion, with a little ribbon In front.
Under no circumstances wear a tight col
lar, as it is a great aid to heat prostra
tion. See to it that all yonr slothes are well
cut and trim fitting. The usual sloppy look
of the badly fitted shirt waist adds to one's
untidy hot look. A neat looking woman
never looks hot. A wall eut skirt of mo

an ideal summer separate skirt, and can
be worn with a colored cotton petticoat,
thus saving laundry bills. A trim, straight
belt not a crushed girdle adds much to
the smartness of one's appearance
As for the hat, choose one that Is light

WALKING PARTY THE LATEST
Canadian Hostesses Pilot Professions
of Guests on Some Long;
Tramps.
"Did you ever near of a walking party?"
asked a New York young woman who had
Just returned from a long stay In Canada.
"No, I don't mean little walking trips
across country In which a group of per
sons engage, but a form of evening's en
tertainment. Those Canadian girls seem
to be taking exercise continually and any
social affair Is all the more enjoyable
across the border if It Includes what seetru
to some of us a lot of hard work.
"Invitations to a walking party are sent
out with Just as much ceremony as If the
affair was to be a dance or a theater
party. It Is essential for a perfect walking
party that there shall be an equal number
of young men and young women. Those
Invited meet at the home of the hostess
at the usual time for an evening affair.
The guests are paired off and the route
of the walk Is announced.
"It Isn't any walk around the block by
any means. Five miles at the least. One
man acts as a master of ceremonies and
he and his partner lead the procession from
the house. When the parade has moved a
certain specified distance the leader calls
a halt and turns his partner over to the
man of the next leading couple. Then each
man moves up one, the leader taking the
girl at the foot of the line.
"The march Is resumed until the next
stage Is reached and then another change
of partners goes Into effect. By the time
the party returns to the house there has
been usually a complete change of part
ners all around.
"This Isn't any summer amusement. In
fact, a tramp through the snow with the
thermometer somewhere down near sero
is considered awfully good sport. But be
It summer or winter, the participants In a
walking party return ready to enjoy the
supper which wlnda up the evening.
"One thing against these walking parties,
to mv mind, Is the continual changing of
partners. You no sooner get Interested in
your companion than you have to turn him
over to another girl. Maybe you draw
a good partner at the start and a few
minutes later get a stick. Of course It Is
emlnenUy fair to every ntrl and to every
man, but some girls, you know, delight In
being unfair when there Is a man In the
cane. As an aid to flirtation these walk
ing parties aren't worth one of those big
Canadian eenta you see some ttmes, but
as an exerciser they are all to the good.
And after all, the exercise Is what these
Canadians are looking for.
"I'm rot sure that I won't try one of
these walking parties here In New York.
How would such a procession look coming
down Broadway some fine evening when
the theaters sre going In? A change of
partners at Broadway and Forty-second
street would sure surprise the usual
hangerson at that corner. It might be an
agreeable change from some of the things
we get so tired of In this town."

LOST IN THE GREAT UNKNOWN
Gold Seeker's Thrilling- Experience
In the Land of the Mld
nlavnt Son.
Ore of the most remarksbie and fruitful
exploration trips into the very heart of the
Land of the Midnight Sun, embracing terri
tory never before visited by white travel
ers, has Just ended In the return to Denver
of Charles L. Smith, a train dispatcher,
who was caught by the "Klondike fever"
ten years ago and was lost In the great
unknown north.
Making his way alone through and be-
I yond the valley of the Mackenzie river
Into the Arctic circle, he spent years in the
land which has hitherto been known only
in the Imagination. He has returned with
a knowledge which will be eagerly grasped
at by scientists and geographers and which
will furnish abundant matter for an Intelli
gent study of conditions obtaining in the
farthest north.
Most Important of the wanderer's dis
coveries Is, perhaps, a vast field of copper
ore stretching 600 miles or more beyond
Great Slave lake, reaching to the shores
of Great Bear lake. Ore In this field, de
clares Smith, will assay from SO to 90 per
cent. Banks of a small river which flows
through this belt are, for a height of eight
Where the river empties Into the Arctic
copper, according to the explorer,
or ten feet, literally formed of almost pure
ocean, asserts Smith, islands for many
miles out are formed of copper ore, washed
Into the ocean by the stream. At Fort
Norman, far south of the ore belt and
many miles east, the compass needle points
forty miles west of true north. This ap
parent phenomenon has long been puzzling
to iclentlsts. The diversion of the needle
is now accounted for by Smith In the pres
ence of the copper belt, which, no doubt,
acts as a magnet powerful enough at that
distance to divert the compass needle.
The resources of the great field of copper
ore In dollars and cents Smith does not
attempt to compute. That It reaches far
Into almost impossible millions goes with
out saying.
Thinking to reach the Klondike fields by
a land route not taken by other parties,
Smith touched st Edmonton, a small town
In the province of Alberta, in western
Canada. From here he traveled 100 miles
by stage to Athabasca Landing. Here he
chose to reach the Arctic ocean by means
of the Athabasca river, and down thla he
traveled In a nineteen-foot boat.
Losing his bearings, he crossed Great
Slave lake, 200 miles down the river, Into
Great Slave river, and eventually Into the
untraveled land adjacent to the Mackenzie
i river.
In the valley of the Mackenzie he was
lost. He wes unarmed, alone and what
was his greatest hardship of all out of
tobacco. On the northern side of Lake
Athabasca, far into the Arctic circle, a
field of iron ore greater even than that
bordering Lake Superior, was discovered
Beyond thla Is a field of sliver and lead
requirements of even the most exacting
taste has resolved Itself Into a simple
matter of going to market. The variety Is
full and everything Is fine, while prices
are not to be complained of. There U
nothing new In market this week, though
J apples w hich have been selling from 2.'.
to 40 cents a basket have gone at a rate
suggesting that they are desirable.
Eggs have gone up a few cents this week
snd sold today for 36 and 28 cents for the
best. Fancy eggs, or those not more Jian
twenty-fours old, sell for cents a dozen.
Buttar Is 28 cents a pound for the best

from 24 to 26 cents a pound.
Poultry remains where It was Isst week.

After spending some time In roaming
about these fields, Smith found himself
back in the land of the Cree Indians and
the neighborhood of the Grand Rapids.
Here the fall of the river Is 80 feet to the
half mile. The Indians speed down the
river in their canoes at the rate of 40 miles
an hour. Near are Iron, coal and limestone
fields which hold vast fortunes to those
who can find the way to take advantage
of them.
Many of the Indians never saw a com
mon housefly until the white man In the
territory brought the fly into the land.
In July the bulldog fly, resembling the
horsefly, Invades the country, but a large
bug appears in August and devours thla
Insect.
Mosquitoes are found in abundance.
Smith said that five minutes after one had
gone Into the forest the hand was the color
of blood.
The Indians use the dog as the meana
of transportation. A ride on a sleigh
drawn by four dogs and going at the rate
of fifty or sixty miles a day sounds very
Inviting to the average American, but
when the practical, real experience Is re
vealed. It loses some of Its attractiveness.
Mr. Smith gives a vivid description of such
la ride. "First, the food for the dogs Is
I packed. They live on fish, four dogs ea'.
Ilng ten a day. Then our own food Is
'packed and the utensils, blankets, extra
i clothing, etc. When all Is In we find that
there is a good 400 pounds, and this Is the
! limit of our dogs' ability to draw. We
must be content to follow behind on snow-
shoes, and If we cover twenty or thirty
miles In one day we are doing fine. Oft
entimes the dogs give out and we are com
pelled to leave them behind to either starve
or be picked up by the Indians. I have
slept out in the open without fear, only
the trees and blue sky above, when the
thermometer registered 87 degrees below
zero and my only covering was two pairs
of blankets."
The Indians of the land of the midnight
sun live, as we Americans would term It,
"from hand to mouth." The head of the
family atarts out with his gun and his
squaw and pappooses follow on behind
with dog sleigh. Wherever he kills a
moose there Is his new home, and the
whole family feast and make merry until
the food supply gives out, and then It Is
time to move once more.
Smith finally found his way to the Arctic
ocean, and there his Journey home began.
He probably will be sent back by an ex-

stress. When making the plain circular or gore
skirts finish the top of the skirt first,
and put It on the band, then fold band,
pin together and hang for at least a day
before trimming and finishing bottom.
The hanging stretches the seams and pre
vents the skirt from sagging after it is
worn.
When using cloth covered buttons on
wash dresses do not sew them on as they
do not Iron well, but fasten on under side
with a small safety pin, and when the
dresa It to be washed remove the button,
string them on a thread, and after scrub
bing and rinsing hang up to dry.
If long tight sleeves are made of mnsli
goods be sure to shrink the goods bef.u-e
sewing, or if thst is not desirable allow
an extra seam for shrinking, and then
run the second seam In by hand to mak"
the sleeve fit snug. Before washing re
move this hand sewing, and after eleeve
Is wsshed It will be just right.
When braiding on delicate fabric have
the stamping done on the under side, then
