The New Stoned skirt.

New skirts, with most of their fullness
taken out by sloped seam in the middle
of the back, are cut off in three horizontal
pieces TO break the monotony Of straight
breadths, fashion very becoming to tall,
slender figures. The foundation skirt of
silk has two straight breadths joined by
seam down the middle of the front, fitted
over the hips by three darts in each breadth,
and meeting at the back of the waist. The
space at the top beyond the fastening is
sloped diagonally to meet two shorter
breadths that are similarly sloped, and
parts of two three-cornered breadths, also
sloped in the middle, are set in at the foot
TO give fullness to the bottom of the skirt
The outside material is usually of cloth
of double width, and has therefore fewer
lengthwise seams than the foundation skirt
1t is cut in three crosswise pieces passing
straight around the figure, each tapping
slightly upon that below it, and each a
third of the length of the skirt in depth
when finished with stitched hem. These
pieces also have the slOped seam in the
back, and are sewed on the foundation skirt
without fullness Such skirts are most
worn with round waists that are slipped
under the skirt; hence the top of the skirt
is trimmed with passementerie to give a
pretty finish to the bodice. At the foot of
the skirt is usually a band of fur or
feathers and ementerie.-Harper's Ba-

Three Sacred Trees

The palm, the oak and the ash are the
three trees which, since time immemorial
were held to be sacred trees. The first
among them, which figures on the oldest
monuments and pictures of the Egyptians
and Assyrians, is the date palm hometan.
Tradition Of a later period says that when
Adam left Paradise he was allowed 20 take
with him three things-a myrtle, because
it was the most lovely and most scented
flower On the earth; wheat ear, because
it had the most nourishment, and date.
because it was the most glorious fruit Of
the earth. The date from Paradise was in
some marvellous way brought 70 the Dejaz.
From 1t have come all the date palms in
the world and Allah destined it 20 be the
