Con- sequently the river dress is bounded by the sailor hat on the north and by the serge skirt on the south, individuality finding its only medium of expression in the manipula- tion of the bodice, the cut of the coat, or the Jaunty style of the blouse. If a girl really expects to handle the sculls herselfâ€" and never does the slight, willowy charm of girlhood appear to better advantage than when bending to the oar and swaying back and forth in rhythmic graceâ€"she hangs up her corset loosens her girdle, wears a blouse that glves perfect freedom to shoulders and arms, with plenty of room inside for the breathing apparatus to perform its func- tions. If, on the contrary, she intends to sit at the stern of the boat in the becoming shadow of a gay parasol, holdin the rud- der ropes and looking unuttera 1e things into the eye of the young man she is for- tunate enough to have row for her, her river costume, though it is of the prosaic and practical serge, is idealized into the trig tailor-made smartness of the illustration, which emanates from the fertile fancy of the one and only Worth. The skirt of the dress had a three- inch band of crimson cloth set on with a fine gold cord, and is as carefully fitted as if intended for the afternoon drive. The seamlessbodice,slight- 1y full in front and .245 crossing surplice fash- ion to one side, has a collar of crimson, witha old cord at the edge and gold anc ors, em- broidered in bullion, in the corners, and opens over a plastron of crimson. crossed with gold bars. A soft sash belt of the gay color fastens beneath an anchor buckle on one side, and the cuffs have anchors in relief for decoration. The sailor hat of crimson straw has a braid of blue straw, with an edge of gold tied in a. stiff little bow on one side. oz 41m <<>._.mwl_z 41m 02:? 020czot4>rr< :0. >292 No The girl who is lucky enough to be in- vited to go camping, who is plucky enough to accept the invitation with its conse- quences, will do well to avoid the flannel gown which every one who has never been camping will recommend to her as the proper choice. Everything will clin to that flannel gown, from pitch pine to ur- dock burrs ; everything will tear it, and a. shower will shrink it almost out of sight. You may want to take home some souvenirs of the trip, but it isn’t quite pleasant to carry them abc ut on your gown. Of course, you do not care how you look, but still, one’s self-respect does take such a header into the depths when one is conscious of looking like a tramp for two weeks. To avoid such undesirable consequences, coax your brother, or some other girl’s brotherâ€"the latter choice usu- ally involves less laborious conditions and more satisfactory results â€"- to take you to the nice place where he buys his things. Se- lect there some cloth, light, fine and durable, with smooth, firm surface, and in color neither very dark nor very light. Gray twill will be a desir- able choice, and this should be made with an abbreviated skirt bound round with leather, suede stitched down many times, or smooth kid, and but- toned on one side. It isa great deal nicer after you’ve been caught in a shower or saturated by a spill in the river to have a gown that will come off Without being pulled over the head. A plain tight bodice, turned back with little rovers to show the gay silk shirt and tie beneath at the neck, a belt of cloth like the dress, leggins of cloth also like the dress, or of leather like its trimming, stout boots, and a “Tam” of bright wool or a felt hat, complete the camping dress. Underneath this dress there is no petticoat at all, but one or more pairs of Turkish trousers or lmiekerhockers, full if you like, and fastened with elastic bands at the knee, and those ‘ are Worn over a union suit of wool, light or ‘ heavy according to the weather. Fine linen 1 and frills are as much out of taste for camp- ! ing as a diamond necklace for the morning i walk or a tailor made gown at a ball. For hunting,r dresses: now that we are no longer content to simply appear at the luncheon on days when our husbands and brothers are out stalking or shooting, but claim our places among the “ guns,” fight for “hot cor- ners,” and contribute toward the spoils well- filled bags, the favor- ite choice is Scottish cloth in Durham red, 3. rich brownish crim- son tweed. This dress has a double skirt, the upper one turned up to the depth of nearly half a yard in a. pocket, which is com verted into several pockets by rows of lengthwise stitchin". The bodice is plain and belted, showing a hit of scarlet at the throat. A frieze jacket or cape coat to wear at night when you sit around the camp fire telling about the wonderful things you have never done only in imagination, and later, when the tales are told and the fire a mass of coals, the most comfortable thin}; in the world to go to sleep is a steamer-relic of wool. witha hood to protest vour liair‘from '0 Mistake in Following These StyleI-n They Are the Latest and Have Been Adopted by the Most Fashionableâ€"Com- tumes for Summer and Summer Recrea- tions.

I ad)" Colin Campbell is the The Origin and Curious Evolution of Some English Surnames. A recent magazine article by Sir Herbert Maxwell presents in a very readable form the derivation of a number of common names. It will be news, for example, to many of our readers that Snooks was once known as Sevenoakes. Some persons are not aware that Elizabeth is to be accounted an uncouth form of Isabel, which was form- ed from Isabeau on a false supposition that Isabeau was masculine. Eliza, it is stated, is not a shortened form of Elizabeth, but is the equivalent of Alice, Marion, we know, is in line with Marie, Mary and Maria. Patro- nymics have been much multiplied through et names. The Saxons formed pet names y adding to the original nameâ€"often ab- breviatedâ€"kin and cock, and the Normans introduced et and 0t, en and on. From William we have the pet names Will, Wil- cock, \Vilkin, Willett, Willey, VVillemot, VVillen, Bill and Guill (Latin.) From these we et in order Williams, MacVVilliam, Wil iamson, Wills, Wilson, W'ilcox, Wil- kins, Wilkison, Wilkinson, Willet, Willet- son, Wilmot, Willing, Bilson, Gill, Gilson, Gilkins, Gilkison; Gillon and Gil- lott. Robertâ€"through Robin, Dobb, Hob, Rob and Hobkinâ€"gives us Roberts, Robert- son, Robins, Robinson, Robison, Probyn, Dobbs, Dobson, Hobbs, Hobson, Robbs, Robson, Hopkins, and Hopkinson. Philip gives us Phipps, Philpot and Philpots. Richard has been distorted by affection into the pet names Rich, Richie, Dick, Diccoh, Hitchin and Hitchcock. From these in turn we have Richards, Richardson, Rick- ards, Pritchard, Rixon, Ritchie, Richison, Dick, Dixie, Dixon, Dickens, Dickenson, Hitchins, Hitchison, Hitchcock, and Hitchcox. David has iven us Davidson, Dodson, Dodds, Davy, avison, Daw, Daw- son, Dawkins, and O’Dowd. \Ve have from Henry the derivations Hal, Hallett, Harry, Harriet and Hawkins. 1 v From John we et Jack and Jenkins; from Simeon, Sim ins. Thackeray’s an- cestor was a thatcher. Malthus got his name from malthouse, and the common family name of Bacchus would be more cor- rectly spelt bakehouse. Macpherson means parson’s son. Vickers was the vicar’s son. Wallace means a Welshman, and Bruce is a Norman name. Sinclair, Montgomery, Hay and Vance are, like Bruce, names derived from lands in Normandy. Many English surnames end in ford, ham (house), lea. ton (farm) and by (dwelling), from the old practice of naming persons after their native place. Aylesford, Grimston, Haber- sham and Ormsby are examples. \Vinslow is from words that mean \Vine’s Hill. From Lee we get Lee, Lei hand Legh. The Welsh Ap, son, with R0 rt, has become Probert. Ap Rhys has become Price. Ap Owen has become Bowen and Ap Hugh has become Pugh. A prosperous Dublin snulf dealer named Halfpenny has had his appellation shortened, it is narrat- ed, to Halpen, and then enlarged to an im- posing McAlpin. It is interesting in this connection to know that Finn and Findlay are Celtic surnames equivalent to our White. Duff, Macdufi' and Dow are for Black. Glass is for Gray. Roy, Corkran and Cochrane all mean red. Our Mr. Brown is in Celtic Mr. Dunn or Mr. Don- nan. Moore and Moran ansxver to our Bigg. On the other hand Beggs is good Celtic for Little or Small. Oliphant (ele- phant) is a name derived from a shop sign. The reader will perceive that many of our Christian names and surnames have had curious histories. â€"â€"Baltimore Sun. After all, science can scarcely explain the why of anything. It merely points out the order in which natural processes occur. Preyer holds that sleep is caused by the products of decompsition, lactic acid and creatin taking up the oxygen of the blood The functions of the grey matter of the cor- tex cannot be exercised without a plenteous supply of arterial blood any more than the zinc and copper of a voltaic pile will evolve electricity without the sulphuric acid. Thus the blood conveys a stimulus or im- parts a capacity to the nerve tissues dur- ing waking, while during sleep it has a separate and distinct functionâ€"that of re- pairing waste. Apparently these two pro- cesses cannot go on in the brain at once, or at least only to a degree too limited to pre- vent a speedy exhaustion of the vital powers if sleep be withheld. There is a striking disparity in the time required for sleep by diii'erent persons. Some men, like the Em- peror Akbar, St. Francis Xavier and Gen. Eliot, the defender of Gibraltar, could do with as little as four hours’ sleep. while other men' need 10 hours or even half the :24. But all must sleep.
