ming. This is very neat, the stitching
being ornamental without detracting
from the usefulness of the wrap. Black
silk of the softest make, lined with pale
blue, pink, green, yellow or shot silk,
makes q more serviceable and dressy
cloak than those Of light color. It
should fit tightly to the waist at the
back, the cape being folded over in fichu
manner, allowing just a glimpse Of the
lining to give little color and tighten
the somber character Of the garment.

The other gown of flowered silk in the
same illustration would be quite ideal
but for the band Of plain silk which cuts
the skirt in two just below the hips.
The plain skirt would have been full Of
grace and dignity, but that band spoils
1t. The bodice. with its vest of soft silk
the color Of the flowers, crossed in folds
below lace collar and outlined with a
double bertha of dark silk, is very pretty
and the puffed sleeves Of soft silk are
graceful.
Another gown Is not so hopeful. II Is
of sage green silk. and the inevitable
bands cross the skirt and end in front
with bows. The sleeves are moderate In
size, and the folded vest of creamy chif-
fon, with broad revers Of silk, is also
free from the vice Of ultra smartness.
But the two little ruffies that finish II are
neither graceful nor useful.

The trap is so arranged that when
the block drops the pins will enter the
mole track, which is undisturbed ex-
cept by flattening it down with the

or twice to make sure the pins will
penetrate the soil without difficulty.

the ground where IL is trodden

inches long and made very light The
