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 q manner as to fit line
by line with it. The seams must be
we'll dampened and very carefully
ironed so that they will show as little
as possible. If you wish to avoid the
middle seam at the back, slope the
back side breadJhs very much, as this
gives the same effect as goring the
back and sewing it up. The skirt has
no second muslin lining and the seams
are made before being laiu On the lin
ing. This Obviates any unnecessary
fullness and stiffness and makes the
seams less easily seen. The whale
bones are covered with bone casing
and must be sewn in only above the
waistband; underneath that they must
be either cut off or left loose so as
not to outline the form too closely.
The double jacket stands ou, little
behind from the dress and has seams
only under the arm. The front
breadths must be left considerably
wider in order that they can be shirred
in the manner shown. These pleats
are made without lining SO as not to
be clumsy, and the material must be

Lighthouse Keepers Rescue E'roaE:
Perilous Position.
John William Thomas, assistant
keeper Of the Wolf Trap light sta
ton, near Norfolk, Va, which sue
cumbed to the ice recently. says he bad
an experience calculated to quicken his
wits and open his weather eye. Mr.
Thomas was alone at the station. which
is in twelve feet of water and three
miles from the shore, and the Wash
ington Post finds it easy to apprecz-
ate the dreadful forebodings which
filed his mind as day after day he
watched the thickening ice, conscious
as he was of the great peril which
environed him, his distress signals un-
noticed, with that vast field Of lcR
expending its mighty power against the
piles, and gathering additional strength
every moment as it overlapped and
piled up against the doomed structure.
TO pray in such a crisis was a most
natural thing to do, and pray he did
long and fervently, and he feels assurex
that his! prayers were answered, FOB
it was not very long before he de-
scribed in the distance the smoke Of
4 steamer battling with the ice Al
though the steamer was some half a
mile out from the ship channel, the
nervy keeper determined to abandon
the station to its impending fate and
make the effort to reach her. Getting
upon the untried ice he proceeded
| toward her, waving his hat to attract
the attention of those on board. Whea
within hailing distance he cried ont
Justify to the officer in command and
was told to come aboard, which hes
did in safety. On leaving the steamer
higher up the bay for the shore he
broke through the ice in eight feet
of water and came near being drowned
