bad that we should be made to leave
such lasting Impressions against our
will. However, possibly there are young
men who would not objectto be snapped
at by such a charming looking tiend as
/ present in my last illustration. She
looks so harmless that one can hardly
believe she would be guilty OF taking
Jack and Nellie In a pose which they
might not want perpetuated.
Still, we are more interested In her
costume than I'm her camera, for 1t ts

This gown is made up In a striped and
embroidered zephyr, the stripes being
cream and mauve, and the fOwerets
black. The skirt is cut bias and grazes
the ground, and may be left quite plain
or be ornamented with rufiie fash
toned from double fold OF the mate
rial. Inside the bottom OF the skirt you
put satinette hounce. The blouse is
made on fitted lining and hooks in the
middle. The jabot-like rufIie falls
almost to the vast, and Is made from
strips cut straight, as are also the
pulled sleeves. For rough usage at the
country club, such as nuttiDg parties

need q gray or tan tweed, with which
you wear no underskirts. but in pace

indicated, and appears also on the re-
vers and sleeves. The ploated plastron,
revers, and pulled sleeves are OF the
silk. The corsage Is finished with
dress coat-taiis, and the stiffened corse-
let forms part of the rlastrcn. The
straight collar Is covered In front with
the pleated silk, at the back with the
galloon, which in V-shape extends
down to the middle of the back. Where
the buttons are usually placed at the
back you set two short pieces OF the
galloon crossed.
There are strong indications that the
great designers will continue to draw in
spiration from the picturesque costume
OF the Russians. 1t will be remembered
what success some of the Russian
gowns had last winter. They are very
original people, as all the world knows,
and in winter especially their long FUR
trimmed costumes are sure to find adj
mirers. In my fourth picture you will
find presented a country club costume,
made with long Russian blouse. over
which is worn a vest of heavy black silk
guipure, set off with gold and silver
threads. At the back the vest is In the
form of a round yoke. The belt is fast
ened with an old silver buckle. The
bottom of the skirt is ornamented with
a ruche made of two strips of the ma
terlal folded together. At the back the
blouse has three box-pleats below the
guipure yoke; the stuff falling from
these pleats is gathered at the waist
The blouse hooks down to about ter
inches below the waist, below which II
is sewed. 1t is put on over the head.
There are gathers at the neck and at the
waist. which are held in place by the
belt. There is a galloon collar anC
cuffs with the same trimming.

Calming the Waves with n Net.

The use of oil for producing calm
surface on troubled sea has become
well known of late years, and many
instances are on record in which 1T
has been resorted to with marked
success. 1t remained, however, for a
Frenchman of high degree, Baron
d'Alessandro by name, to conceive
the novel idea of putting the waves
of an angry sea under actual mechan-
ical restraint, instead Of merely
soothing them, as 1t were, by an
oleaginous offering. His invention Is
simply huge net with meshes about
two inches across; and the action of
such net when laid upon the water
is said to resemble very closely the
effect OF certain species of floating
seaweed which has often been known,
when present in sufficient quantities,
to produce calm surface on water
otherwise very rough. 1t was this
seaweed which suggested to the Baron
his highly original device; and ex-
periments made with tin one case
with a net 1000 yards square-are
said to have been so satisfactory that
the French government has taken
measures for an official inquiry into
the merits of the invention. Sub
DUNG the waves by this method may
be practicable scheme; but we have
yet to be informed how the net is
to be navigated, or by what means il
is to be kept in harmonious relations
with oars, rudders, propeller blades,
paddle-wheels, fln-keels, etc. There
may be an easy avoidance OF this diff
fculty, but it is at least point
which seems to call for elucidation.

Consumption of Tea.

A decided difference of opinion ex-
lists throughout the world as to the
merit of the cup that cheers and not
inebriates. The teapot gets but little
rest in western Australia, where the
annual consumption per head is over
ten pounds. The Briton consumes 4. I
pounds and the American IA, while
the Germans get along with an
average of an ounce per capita. The
