shown with Persian lamb. The flowing
sleeves have two narrow bands Of the

The right hani figure in the picture

only In the outside material, not in the
lining, so that when well ironed out II
Is as little visible as possible. The back
breadths are very much sloped, so as to
set in tight to the figure. in order to pre-
serve the bell shape, but the circum-
ference should be at the bottom from
three to three and one-quarter yards.
The lining must be cut to the exact size
OF the upper material and must be sewn
with the latter In such a manner as to
fit line by line with it. The seams must
be well dampened and very carefully
ironed SO that they show as little as pos
sible. II you wish to avoid the middle
seam at the back, slope the back side
breadths very much, as this gives the
same effect as goring the back and sew
ing it up. The skirt has no second muslin
lining and the seams are made before
being laid on the lining. This obviates
any unnecessary fullness and stiffness,
and makes the seams less easily seen.
The whalebones are covered with bone
casing and must be sewn in only above
the waist band; underneath that they
must be either cut off or left loose SO as
not to outline the form too closely. The
double jacket stands out little behind
from the dress and has seams only un-
der the arm. The front breadths must
be left considerably wider in order that
they car be shirred in the manner
shown. These pleats are made
without lining, so as not to be clumsy,
and the material must be shirred before
being laid on the lining. The lower
part of the sleeves is cut bias, and the
large balloon puffs are cut from straight
material. Both the jacket and the high.
close collar are edged with fur. TIE

The Hest Adviser,

Those men who have learned to
understand the value of woman's
advice are indeed wise in their day
and generation. There is no man in
the world who can in some matters
give such sound, practical counsel as
the woman who has your interest DIT
heart and who discovers more by in
stinct than a profound course of
reasoning the best thing to do.
1t lis rare advantage for man, in
whatever pursuit he is engaged, to
have as an adviser a sensible, prac-
tical woman. In her is found that
rare combination of subtle delicacy of
tact and plain soundness Of judgment
that you so seldom find in an equal
degree in a man. A woman friend
Is wise counselor. She looks at all
sides, has a fine regard for "a mans
honor in any affair, and will never
give him any advice that will injure
his character or reputation. She is
so anxious to be proud of him that
she will never urge him TO any action
that will cause her to think other
wise. Besides all this, her womanly
timidity makes her sufficiently eau
tious to not push him into anything
without weighing well each phase of
the matter, whereas man would
rush in, hit or miss, and too fire.
quently would find himself very wide
OF the mark, owing ito his lack OF
generalization. '4..
Manga woman, however, who forms
a wise counselor jumps at conclusions
from her hearts standpoint rather
than the seyerer tests OF worldly
judgment, and 1t only proves that
this earth is not irretrieyably bad
when you find how often her views
are correct, even when opposed to the
calculating long-sightedness in more
material minds.
The best adviser man can possess
is the one he so frequently thinks 1t
unnecessary to consult, namely, his
wife, and he can never appreciate the
surprise In store for him until he
listens to the words or wisdom she
lets fall from lips accustomed usually
to only words of endearment rather
than practical common-sense talks. -

: LOOKING over the Household
Hints, which are part of SO many
periodicals OF the day. we see that
none are ever addressed to the male
members Of the family. Why not
once in while put in something like
the following: "Be sure to close the
door after you when you go down to
business in the morning." If you
wish to find your scissors in their
proper place when you want them, be
sure TO put them back when you have
done using them" and the like.

THE latest novelty in the way of
expeditions is one for exploring the
center of the earth. Mr.. Rider
Haggard, in his widest imaginings,
never conceived of anything more
absurdly fantastic than the hunt after
"Symsonia," the mythical land in the
interior of this globe. to which light
is supposed to be admitted through
apertures at the north and south
poles. The gallant explorers are to
go to Greenland, and then to follow
the wild animals who mysterlously
disappear somewhere in the north
every autumn, and were supposed,
according to theory invented by a
man named Symmes, at the begin
ming of this century, to go inside the
globe. One thing seems pretty GER
tain, and that is that the expedition
will go inside the animals before it
gets very far into the recesses of the
earth
