The plan of a Ore-proof stadium K bo erected on Soldiers' Field, Cam- ( bridge, has been nntlclpatecl by the I completion of a similar structure drdl- I cated to a different pnrpose at the ' 1'nlverslty of California. The latter I building Is an open-air theatre, made of concrete, which stands In a grove of trees forming part of the general scheme of the college buildings. Its plan Is a close reproduction of the old Oreek Theatre, of DIonysIus, and it has a seating- capacity of 8000 persons. Wh in President Roosevelt Rpoke thnre In May the theatre wns filled for the first time. These two fire-proof, permanent buildings are the first of their kind In this country, but they will undoubt edly be copied soon In those localities where the frequent occurrence of Im portant athletic contests Justifies theni. The burning of the lnrge south stand on Soldiers' Field during the course of the Harvard-IrInceion game a few weeks ago serves as a clear Illustra tion of the dangers to which the enor mous crowds at popular spectacles are nt present regularly subjected. The danger Is multiplied when the timber stands entirely Inclose an nrea, s they do on many college fields thus leaving nn entirely Inadequate means of exit in case of fire. Philadelphia Becord. - . . How th Sparrows Bat lie. The sparrows In the squares have two ways of taking n bath, that Is, two ways one can disco, er In a ten minute's loaf around the fountains. says a writer In the New York Even Ing Tost. The first Is to fly through the spray as It falls from the fountain. The second Is slower and much prcf tier. A little chap files to a Uiy leaf on the top of the water, and his tiny weight makes the leaf sink. Just a little, so thnt It becomes a miniature bath-tub with enough water In It to reach the bird's feathers. The longer the sparrow stays In his bath-tub the deeper his bath gets, for the leaf kecpe on sinking with his weight. Aftei some fussing of beak nnd flapping o( wings, and much tossing about ol water, nway be flies and his bnth-tud comes back to the surface again. Prawett of a SwordfUli.

The model Is made of black taffeta stitched with ;orticelH silk, but nil coat and suit materials both silk and wool are equal ly appropriate. The coat consists of a blouse portion, that is made with applied box pleats it front and buck nud Is fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm teams, and the skirt which is attached thereto beneath the belt. Tbo skirt includes applied pleats that form con tinuous Hues with the blouso and Is laid In Inverted pleats at the centre back, which provide graceful fullness. The right frout laps over the left to close in double-breasted style beneath the edge of the pleat. The sleeves arc box pleated from the elbows to the shoulders, so providing the snug lit required by fashlou, but form full puffs at the wrists where they are fin ished by flare cuffs.

I'leated KUlrU For Full Wear. 1'leated skirts will be popular for fall wear, and with them will be worn the long coat which has been so suc cessful for a sensnu or two. Long skirts will be relegated more nnd mora for formal and dress occasions, while the Just-off t he-ground skirt will be adopted for matinee, walking, shop ping, clubs nud similar occasions. The hip yoke and the habit back loom up promlueutly among the fall styles, ac cording to so good an authority as Creraud's Cloak Journal, which Is also responsible for the prediction that rough effects, such as English and Scotch suitings, will nava the call, and that broadcloth In other colore than black Is paste for women's wear. aiionl'Ur AUoraiaeata Dooatad. Ladles' tailors prophesy that the cape' collar aud all shoulder adornments will have met their Waterloo by the fuU, aud that on outer garments woman's bertha. nt least collnra will be reduced to a mere band at the bnck, fading Into nothingness at the front. Sleeves, they say, will show less of the pouch ef fect at the wrist and more fullness nt the shoulder. For tailor made gar ments of the severe style the plain, old-fnshloned coat sleeves, finished at the wrist with a narrow turn back cuff or rows of stitching, will be de rlgueur. To put a fussy, dressy sleeve on nn otherwise plain garment Is r artistic mistake. A New Wedding Ilouquet. A new design for a bouquet for a wedding Is known ns the butterfly bow bouquet. The flowers and foliage of the bouquet are put together with seeming carelessness, yet grneefully, while nestling among the flowers Is n lurge butterfly bow of twisted chlffou or tulle. The bow terminates In long, flowing ends, over and among which nre falling flowers and tendrils of light foliage. A fpw flowers nlso finish oft the cuds of the Ikjws.
