She who hammocks must frill, such is the law of summertime, break it at your J peril, oh, Madam Fair! Unless you propose to swing in the back yard. Then no laws prevail. You may wear a ninety-eight-cent wrapper and Oxfords that have run down at the heel. You may put both feet up and go to sleep; or you may permit one pedal extremity to hang over the side and flop your oldest slipper up and down at the heel just as much as you like. For no body will see you and you know it. This screed is not for you, Miss Back, yard Belle. You will do as you please, anyway. And nobody cares. Any gentle hints in the art and sci ence of hammocking; in the costuming while so engaged; and in the deport ment of same, which may follow in this column, belong exclusively to her who hammocks before an audience. Said audience may consist of one only the Appreciative Man or it may be the whole neighorhood, who incident ally will pass in review at 7:30 P. M., as soon as little Willie Jones has spread the interesting news that "Mayme Smithers is sittin' in her hammock an' she's got on blue-striped stockins with lace up the front, an' her shoes must pinch her offul, 'cause I saw her take one off when I went to the mail box, an' she bid it under her cushion and then set on one foot." The girl who is fortunate enough to own and to properly manipulate a hammock always knows where to swing it in the most effective place, I mean. Side lawns are preferred. Betired nooks behind shrubbery are considered choice places; and a rear garden, with holly hocks growing in a clump at one side, and the hammock swung from an old sycamore to the grape arbor, with a trel lis of roses making a complete screen in front, is, by all odds, to be choson as the best of spots. Having swung your hammock in the chosen place and added your cushions, nothing else remains but to add your self property attired. Now for the frills. Lace trimmed pet ticoats am absolutely essential. The lacier the better. Embroidery, even Swiss, won't do. Knots of baby ribbon, in shades of blue and pink, add much to the ensemble. It's sure to be effective when the ham mock gives a side glance or two, as it will in the course of an evening. The subject of shoes and hosiery, which comes next for discussion, should, by rights, have a whole chapter to itself, so vast and comprehensive is it. The questions of individual taste and the prevailing style; the size of one's feet, and the shapeliness of one's ankle, all must be considered, and exhaustively. It might as well be state right here that if you wear arything less than sizes 214 Q shoes and your ankle is tolerable, you may don hose and shoes of almost any sort that you please. Your feet are sure to look well nay, more, to be generally fetching. Beyond size 3 one must exercise care and thought. Reserve your French and Cuban heels for the hammock. That is about all tbat they are good for, anyway. Besides, they look pretty. Don't, above all things, wear those Bull-dog, thick-soled walking Oxfords of yours for hammocking. They're a'l right wheu you're upright; but if they were allowed to obtrude themselves on the notice of Jack's distinguished friend from Memphis, whose southern ways of flirtation are a moonlight delight, he'll think you sensible and that's all. Another "don't:" Leave those col ored or white silk lacings out of your low shoes, and this not only for ham mocking, but for everything elee. I can't imagine where that hideous fad started this summer. Over on Mor gan street, in all probability. Your hosiery may be in tints to match your dainty frocks, or it may be black, with the prevailing lace-work pattern, or merely a dropped stitch, which is always in good taste. The girl with wavy hair, full of ten drils and the kind that twinkles in the sunlight, has a big advantage in a ham mock. She knows the muBsier her hair gets the better she looks. She also knows that those favored masculines who may see her thus will be cognizant of the fact as well. And that reminds me of one of the best uses for a hammock. I learned of it through a charming youth who spends frequent days down at Donovan farm, in company with cer tain parties of jolly young persons. There is a pond and everybody goes in swimming. "Just guess how I spent the whole of last Saturday afternoon," he demanded, disgustedly, as we met on the corner. "Three solid hours, sitting on the ground behind a girl in a hammock, who let her wet hair hang over the back and made me brush it dry." Serena Lamb, in St. Louis Republic. .... Often we find that old straw hats are subjects of grave consideration. Many of them, we hear it said, are too good to be thrown away; too fanciful to be given to the poor, and yet not quite modish enough to tempt their owners into trim-, la'. ". i; I !
