many a pretty tritle that one usually
goes to a haberdasher to purchase"
Here was an idea at any rate, and
followed it up. went to the leading
pattern houses and found that the
demand for 'gentlemen's wear" pat
terms had grown to such an extent with
in the past year or so that designs are
now in stock for everything in the way
OF wearing apparel except dress suit,
a frock or a sack suit, derby or silk
hat.
One Of the neatcst things to be made
at home is the sash vest or Gordon sash
The materials favored for the vest are
serge, satin, silk, cloth and Bedford
cord. The sash may be made of corded
silk, surah or faille. The five pieces
shown in the cut are reduced patterns
for both the Gordon sash and the sash
vest. The two belt sections are the
same tor both, and the Gordon sash is
put on the lining in folds, as shown by
the notches on the ends; the plaits
should be turned upward at one end
and downward at the other, to give
soft and pretty effect 1t is well to cut
the belt sections from tennis belt.
The sash vest has a tuck at the CEN
ter, and a whalebonc should be inserted
to stiffen it. Buttons and pseudo but
tonholes ornament the belt at the left
side of the tuck. Vest pockets, finished
with welt, are inserted in each side of
the belt The small rings on the pat
tern show the positions of pockets,
plain buttons, etc.
When you begin to figure on the cost
OF the material for one of these vests,
its cheapness strikes home at once. A
quarter of yard of material with
width of twenty-seven inches, tennis
belt and three buttons completes all
you will need. For the Gordon sash

INDICATING OIL CAN.

This invention is made with the idea
to overcome the overrunning of a lamp
during the process Of filling. BY refer
ence to the illustration small wheel
will be seen arranged on the spout. The
spokes or paddles Of this wheel stick
down in the spout and when the oil is
flowing from the can into vessel the
wheel revolves. The casing Of this
wheel is glass. There is also arranged
on the spout an air vent. When the Gil
in the lamp reaches the end Of the spout
the air is shut off and the wheel stops,
signifying that the lamp is full. The
can is specially valuable for use in Gill

Lynch Law Among Rats.

In the neighborhood of Burley, Eng
land the other day gentleman, look
ing over a wall, saw dead hen in the
field Presently a rat ran up, shifted
at the defunct fowl with much satisfac-
ton, and went away in some haste.
The onlooker, who is a student of nat
ural history, knew what that meant
and removed the hen from the spot.
In minute Or two the rat came back
with half dozen friends, with the evil
dent intention of removing the carcass
for future use. Arrived at the spot
where the fowl had lain the rat raised a
loud squeak of establishment at it's alb
sence. In trice the other rats fell
upon him so savagely that they left
him dead on the field as warming
not to play practical jokes with his
friends -.s

Women Who Deal In Tea,

There is in London firm of women
tea merchants who have bought an es-
tate in Ceylon and carry on their bust
ness entirely through women blenders,
tasters, packers and agents. The great
est difficulty encountered by the women
is in packing, but this the are fast con-
quering under male instructors. The
rooms where this essentially feminine
luxury is dispensed in London are
marvelously decorated and daintily ap-
pointed and are becoming favorite
rendezvous for women, where they
meet and entertain their friends in the
nearest approach to the mans club

ribbon; the lowest was of shade to
match the gown, and each one above
was trifle darker green, so that the
top one presented a striking contrast to
the silk of the skirt. The plain, tight
fitting waist was girded by broad full
sash of dark green, and at the neck was
pretty yoke of fine white lace So far
liked the dress, but didn't like the
long, black lace jacket which fell over
it, a jacket which was fitted in tight at
the back, which had a large high collar,
big pulled sleeves and was turned back
from the front of the dress in long,
touched the ruf1les at the bottom of the
skirt.
Some of the girls here have very
pretty hats. One wears a big straw
hat with high slender crown, chestnut
color, and she has some velvet folds of
the same shade in front, over which
hang long plumes of creamy yellow.
Another plume hangs over the back of
the crown, and down over her hair are
still more plumes in rich luxuriance
like little rose-colored one very well
that is made of sheer crepe over small
frame. The folds are held down by
twist Of ribbon that runs around and is
tied in piquant bow at the back
Some plumes and aigrettes stand up in
'front.' Another is worn by bride, and
is all in gray. 1t is a little capote, en-
broidered in fine gold pattern, and
has some fine gray flowers in front, and
a full facing Of gray velvet in front.
Outing dresses are made now in
white, but it isn't white serge or fan
mel or anything of that sort. Oh! no;
it's heavy, coarse linen material that
looks more like common crash than any
thing else, but which costs good deal
more than crash. Some varieties of it
are after the mummy cloth order. 1t
makes splendid outing dresses-plain
skirts, blazers and striped silk fronts,
and they are the coolest looking things
imaginable. Wear white channels gloves
with them, and the whole thing can be
done up as often as you please. so that
you can always look spotlessly clean in
one of them.
The tennis girl and the outing girl
have some more devices for keeping
cool. The tennis girl wears a jacket
now that has no sleeves; so that her
arms are very free when covered by
nothing but the thin silk of her shirt.
And the outing girl, instead Of putting
her silk front on thin linen back, SIM
ply puts it on nothing She fastens a
band of elastic to each side of the front,
which clasps tight around her waist,

People Who Borrow Books.

Boolz-borrowers are, probably, the
greatest nuisance in the world, and
there is no reason why they should ex-
list at all in these days of cheap litcra-
ture, of public free libraries, of Nudes
and other esta blishments of q similar
nature. Book-borrowers are usually
lazy people, who will not take the
trouble to go and buy book for them
selves if they can getit from friend for
nothing. l really do not see why man

Gus tanning, cooling drinks and invit-
ing sunshades The other sex has GER
tainly shown much more common sense
in their manner of dressing, and a man
always looks enviably cool even on an
excessively warm day. And the woman
of observation noting this fact, straight
way set herself to copying, to as great
an extent as she dared, the apparel of
the cooler sex. And hence our tight
fitting silk underwear, our sparseness
of skirts, our thin clinging robes, our
shirt fronts and blazers No wonder
we grow more athletic and healthy
every year. Who wouldn't, in a gar
ment that one can actually kick in, or
run or row in, or ride on wheel in?
Why, the girl Of a few seasons ago is a
different creature now. Where are her
languor and pretty airs, and dainty
steps, and timid climbing, and general
shrinking back at every new idea pro-
posed for the summer outing? Gone,
all of them, with the old garments.
But is she masculine then, and self-as-
sertivc, and loud-spoken and independ-
ent? Nay, mono of these; she is still a
woman, more truly a woman than be-
fore, and more able to win and to hold
the admiration and regard of the other
sex.
This train Of sage reflections was
started by the sight of a fair young girl
who stood leaning against a country
stile, and whom had been watching

THE WOMAN OF FASHION.
Some Sage Reflections Upon Our
Present Mode of Dressing.
How to Keep Cool-A Delightful White
and Blue Gown-Some New Outing
Gowns and Pretty Hats
Notes Picked Up.
tCOPYRIGHT, 1902. |

Everybody seems to be looking rather
cool and comfortable in spite of the
warm weather. There was time when
it seemed well-nigh impossible to keep
cool, for we were obliged to wear, no
matter how fiercely the sun beat down,
stiff white skirts, and a certain number
of them, to give our dresses the desired
effect. There was not allowed to ap-
pear in any part of them the slightest
suspicion of that effect which is nt'w so
much sought after. Everything a. this
time must stand out well to be in mode,
and that most grewsome of all in
ventions for women's apparel, the bus
tie, added it's little weight to the rest;
SO that when we attempted to make our
way through a crowded thoroughfare
or car, we were driven almost to despera-
ton by the effort. No wonder we grew
warm and warmer in the face of vigor-

UNDERMINED seams and the front is
slashed to a desirable depth at the
center; the opening is finished at the
right side with an underlap or button
stand and at the left side with wide
overlap pointed at the lower end, and
the front may be closed with buttons
and buttonholes or with studs To the
front are applied patch pockets, which
have pointed lower edges and are fin
ished at the top with laps that are also
pointed at the lower edges. The back
is but slightly full and is gathered at
each side of the center and sewed to a
yoke, which is pointed at the center of
the lower edge. Each of the shirt
sleeves has an opening at the back of
the arm that is finished with facings,
the overlapping facing being pointed at
the top; and the lower edge is gathered
and joined to wristband, which may
be closed with button and buttonhole
or with a stud. At the neck is rolling
collar which turns from the top of
fitted band; and machine stitching fin
ishes all the edges Of the garment.
Plain, striped, spotted or figured

serge and checked, striped or plain fan

provide an attractive completion, but
perfectly plain finish is always in good
taste. All the seams are finished in fell

been introduced into the neck of the

the cork takes the form shown in the
cut. The inventor gratuitously offers
the suggestion that the cork will be
found very useful for application in
champagne bottles or in retaining other
liquids of an effervescent nature.
KNIFE AND SCISSORS GRINDER.
Knives and scissors in state of dull
ness are the cause of much loss of time
and no little annoyance. The remedy
for this is knife and scissors grinder,
which is shown herewith. According
to the originator of this machine, any
thing with a cutting edge can be sharp
ened by anybody. AS an emery wheel,
it seems good one, but an emery wheel
at it's best is poor thing to sharpen
good knife on. The old-fashioned
grindstone is superior in every way.

DEVICE FOR CLEANING WASTE PIPES.
This invention is especially designed
to relieve the agony of those persons
suffering from stopped waste pipes,
whether it be the wash tub, sink, wash
bowl or bath tub. The device is con-
structed as follows: A semi-circular
cup is arranged on the end of the
handle; the cup is made of rubber and
has fange above it to keep it from
turning inside out, like an umbrella in
gale. Water is run into the vessel to
be cleaned until it is about four inches
deep. The cup is then put over the
pipe, and a pressure exerted on the
handle forces the water under the cup
into the pipe.
