eludes at the end of the month. Tho weather is fast becoming too warm for golf, and tennis is coming into its own again. WHAT IS OHIO? Chic. Some women have it; some have it hot. Chic is l a subtle, as well ns a comprehensive thing. It is a component of grace of carriage, and-of movement, of shapeliness, and the spirit of the age. It includes the knowledge of what to wear, and when, and how, to wear it. It is. a question of detail, and a matter of ensemble, and at the same time, mysteriously, it may have nothing to do with any, of tjiese things, and be entirely* dependent on personality, There are women who would look chic, in a sack. FRINGES OF RICE. Frocks mqde of rice made their appearance at a dross-show in London recently, when one of the most admired models was an evening dress of bright orange made entirely of rows of fringe. The fringes' lookod like thousands of tiny beads, but actually they were lit tie,, lumps of rice. The fringes are made in Japan by, the natives, the rice being crushed and lnixcd.with wax before it is made into the “beads’’ and strung together. The effect is the same as real beads. IS SHINGLING. SINFUL? Arthur Brisbane, tlio highest paid editorial writer in the world, writes as follows;—"Aliss. Afo.rt.ha Bates, an old-fashioned Koutuc.ky mountain girl, with modern bobbed hair, walked up to the pulpit of Rev. Arlie Brown, oldfashioned Kentucky Baptist preacher, and slapped.his face. He said that no ,virtuous woman would bob her hair. Ch.aptpr 'Two opens with (Martha Bates scn,te,n,cc.d by. an old-fashioned Kentucky jury to fo.rty days in gaol tor slapping a preacher. She served fifteen days, then Kentucky’s, oldfashioned j G oyornor, WUliapr, J. Fields,, investigated, Last • Hrjpay he gave Alartha Bates,a full pardon and. donouneediwhat lie.calls ‘pulpit coward) ice. ’ ‘There are enough things in,the Bilile for preachers to,talk about without criticising wo,man’s dress.’ Reia haps he ha.s not noticed that the Bible also is,interested in that subject. Women have their heads covered and hold their peace in church. Isaiah would not have them ‘walking and mincing.as.thyy,go. ’ You.learn in the last chapter of Rfpvcrpa. that the virtuous woman’s clothing is ‘silk and purple, ’ and; that ‘she makoth herself coverings of tapestry*. ’ Female dress aiuLmaniiers are importapt. They indicate character or lack of it, and; what..women are in this generation the next generation will- be.’ ’
