point pretty well down in 'front.' The suit fits
closely as far as the little boned waist goes.
There it is finished by a band of braid to match
what Is on the collar. A skirt fastened to this
band falls to just above the knee. 1t is a little
longer on one side than on the other, and that
side Is Topped up. The effect is quite classic,
especially if you sacrifice to beauty and let
the draping be really classic; that is,
have the skirt come well below the knee on one
side and be draped well above on the other.
Under all you wear knit tights, the same color
as the body OF the suit. These tights
are full suit and cover the whole
body. IL you want to protect the throat
the tights can be finished off with q close
collar and have an anchor embroidered on the
piece can turn away very low. The tights in
this case should contrast with the rest Of the
suit rich brown over. and a clear cream for
the tights Is daring. but if you well made
1t will be thing of beauty. OF course, if you
are little stout better select dark color all
through. letting the tights have no ornament
ing except the anchor or device on the breast
and a band or so about the collar. The over
part Of the suit is to be of the same color as
the tights, only deliberately treated with braid
Of some bright shade. By the way, q gold
braid Is shOwn-prstty expensive-that will not

Of men at her call, and the average girl has to
scheme many times. II two girls can keep up

they are decorative in combination, they are

are not making an awful fuss grabbing the men
is worth while, and to have two girls
who know enough to get to each other
and look pleased whether they are
or not when they get left to
themselves is much preferable to the girl who
is fairly popular and who, in similar circum-
stances, seeks her chaperon and sulks. To be
decorative in combination the girls should con-

terfere with each other and they actually set

Volapuk Nearing It's End.

From the London Telegraph.
Many persons will perhaps breathe sigh OF
relief on hearing that Volapuk is doomed, in
France at least. French business men will have
none Of it. Its most energetic apostle and
propagation has been sent away from the Paris
headquarters of the volapukists. and is now
filing an important post as professor of German
in provincial college.
This being the case, the members of the
French Association of Volapukists have decreed
the dissolution of their society. Nevertheless
they had at one time great hopes of success
and their strange jargon was almost elevated fol
a while to the ranks OF n fashionable fad.
Lectures in the new language. which was to
undo all the damage wrought by the Babel
affair long ago. were attended by numerous
students of both sexes, and small sheets in the
strange compound of tongues were disseminate ted
every week among adopts and the general
public.
By degrees the craze died out. and the mum.
Der of Volapukists in Paris dwindled to few
enthusiastic persons full of the sentiments pc
culiar to those who cling through thick and
thin to lost causes.

Maj. John II. Gilbert of Palmyra Says
Oliver Cowdry Wrote Most of the Copy.
From the New York Times
party Of Mormons from Woods Cross,
Davis county. Utah, has been in Palmyra this
week The place has lively interest for all
Mormons, for it was here that Mormonism had
Its birth. Brigham Young used TO live with
Deacon Snow two miles south Of the village Of
Port Byron, and, when he left, was owing to
the deacon quite board bill After he be-
came rich Mr.. Snow wrote him about IL and
before long Brigham Young appeared TO settle
the account. He paid Deacon Snow the bin
with compound interest, which, after a lapss
OF 30 many years. amounted to a tidy sum.
The Mormon Bible was printed by Mai. John
II. Gilbert of Palmyra. The FIRST edition was
OF 1000 copies and was printed on an old-fash-
Toned Washington hand press. This press 10

has not forgotten how. He is still in the best Of
health.
There are several original copies OF the Nor
mon Bible in this village. Maj Gilbert has one
which was given him by q Salt Lake City
clergyman. The original manuscript rs in the
possession Of David whitmer of Richmond, No.,
who acquired il as one Of the three witnesses
who saw the plates dug up from which the story
was written. The other two who claimed to
have seen the plates were Martin Harris and
Oliver Cowdry, both of Palmyra Harris died
sixty miles from Salt Lake City and Cowdry al
Richmond, Mo.
The press is TO be taken to the worlds fair,
and Major Gilbert will be there with it. The
Bible was printed in the old Wayne Sentinel
ONCE The Mormons claim that Joseph Smith
had great deal TO do with having the Bible
printed. This is not the fact, for Major Gilbert
says the prophet was only in the Office once
during the printing OF the book which took
from August, 1929, until March. 1890 Smith
did not personally furnish page OF manuscript
to the printer.
Martin Harris mortgaged his farm to pay for
the job, which cost 5000 for 5000 copies
ERbert b. Grandin took the contract and Major
Gilbert was the printer who executed IL. The
volume was OF $50 pages, set in small plea,
printed sixteen pages TO the form. Most of the
manuscript was written by Oliver Cowdry.
Joseph Smith found the plates in 1897 in
Cumorah Hill, town Of Manchester, Ontario
county, on the direct road TO Canandaigua,
about three and q half miles from Palmyra.
The farm at that time belonged to Arson Rob-
inson, and is now the property of George samp-
son.
Major Gilbert weighs about $50 pounds. has
snow-white hair and beard, and is at ninety-ons

plished violin player, and owns an instrument
for which he has refused Sl20. He lives with
his daughter, and has two sons living, one of
