This little frill settles all the difficulty
about making the bodice and the skirt
meet nicely, and is also very becoming
to many figures.
A blouse waist that is thoroughly nov
ell is shown in this picture, and was
sketched in currant colored wooden reps
lined with bluet surah, which showed
through the openings formed by the
braided bands of dress goods that form
ed the waist. IT was alike back and
front, being equally baggy on both sides.
lbiased strips of reps hemmed on both
sides. Similar ornamentation showed
round the hips of the otherwise plain
skirt. The sleeves were shirred into
the arnholes with large heading and
lighter shade of satin ribbon gave belt
and collar.
Belts of gold wire bucllled like a
easily larger or smaller are quite the
right thing for wear with dainty cos
tunes, whether they really need a belt
or not At last they are making stock
ings that have a silk front and Isle
thread back. "A woman can thus put
her little foot out daintily and everyone
will think what a reckless little person
she IS to wear silk in the street, while
all the time the Isle thread back resists
the wear of the tops of her low shoes and
makes 1t possible for her to wear silk
stockings more than just one time.

The Philadelphia Record says that an
item in the salaries of Pennsylvania
railroad engineers and firemen, which
is not generally known to the public, is
a so-called premium on coal. On all the
runs a generous allowance for coal per
mile is made by the company and what
ever the firemen and engineers save on
this allowance results in a premium for
them. A portion of the saving goes to
the company and the remainder is di-
vided between the employees on the en-
CINE. One material drawback to this
system is that engineers frequently run
slowly on up grades and in going down
hill they shut off the steam entirely and
let the train go for all it is worth by its
own inertia. This severely racks the

A company Is being formed, with
100000 capital, to operate a line of
horseless wagons between Ashcroft and
Barkerville, British Columbia, a dis
lance of some 200 miles. Ashcroft Is on
the line Of railway, and Barkerville IS in
the heart of the gold region. There Is
fine wagon road the whole length Of
the route, and at present big bust
ness Is being done by horse stage LIKES.
But in the Cariboo country everything
the horses eat has to be imported at
heavy expense, and the road runs
through such mountainous region the
horses do not last long. The company
thinks it can handle the business of
both passengers and freight, including
the ore output Of the mines, with an
adaptation of one of the oil moor
wagons that has been designed for Use
ON this route, and at much cheaper
rate than by the present horse stages,
The provincial legislature has been
asked to pass a bill granting the conf
pany the privilege of operating horse
less carriages on all the main routes
in the Cariboo region. BY government
direction the wagons are to be con-
structed with extra wide tires in order
that their use may be beneficial rather
than injurious to the roads. While oil
motors are to be used for the present,
the company believes it will soon be
able to adopt storage electric battery

The fancy bodice may be somewhat on

promptly adopt the newest notions that
their dressmakers advance, but to most
women it is still acceptable and well
come. If the latter sort Of dressers need
any assurance that these waists are still

An Indictment under which woman
recently stood trial in Lancaster, Penn
sylvania, charged that the defendant,
"for gain and lucre, did predict future
events by cards, tokens, etc., and put a
spell upon one John Herr" The alleg-
ed bewitched person did not appear to
testify but his relatives told Of state
ments by the defendant that John was
bewitched, and of promises by her to
put spells" upon the enemies Of the
family, under which they would be fore
ed to confess. On a general denial by
the defendant, that she did not know
one card from another, the jury, after
celebrating three hours, acquitted her,
though imposing upon her the costs of
the prosecution. The laughing lawyers
and spectators in the court were rebuk-
ed by the presiding judge, who told
them that it was a serious matter-so
serious, in fact, that the legislature of
Pennsylvania had made law against

THANKSGIVING SILVER.
"A record writ in silver
or the mercies Of the year."
And What is Thanksgiving SiIVer?''
The question may be asked by those
not yet familiar with custom which
originated q few years ago, 1t Is said, In
a family whose name has been part
Of New, En- glands annals since
1850 at least.
A custom which is finding favor as
fast as it is made known, so strongly does
1t appeal 10 the home sentiment,
and tnenatural desire for
its expression.
Briefly stated, 1t consists of
acquiring each year, on
THANKSGIVING DAY, some piece or
pieces of Silver for the Table service.
1t May Be Bought
for the occasion, but more commonly
IL is given by some homecoming
member of the family and the original
idea was that it should correspond
In value with the prosperity OF the year.
Each piece should carry the name
Of the giver, and the date of
the year 1t represents.
the Table, and while it may be used
at other times whenever desirable, 1t
should always be known as the
Thanksgiving Silver, and the production
of every piece upon that day
be made matter of sacred ceremony.
One Can Readily Understand
the significance, which, through
association, will thus attach to such
collection, as year after year rolls by,
generation succeeds generation, and
these Thank fferings laid on the
Altar of Home increase In number, in
value, and in historical interest.
The original cost may be
little or much, and, as irtimated,
may vary with the circumstances
OF the year; but the record
snould be kept unbroken-
SOMETHING should be added
at every anniversary. and, if no more
than a single Spoon, it should
alsays be of solid Silver.
Our selections In Solid Silver
in beauty, variety and originality
are well worth examining.

AT the time of the great distress in
France in the year after the Franco
Prussian war citizen of Bourges, De-
1orme by name, vowed that he would
never wear on his back any other gar
ment than the blouse he was then wear
ing. Although twenty-five years have
elapsed, he still adheres to his resolu-
ton, but the famous blouse has been
patched and repatched so often that
but little of the original material re-
mains. The wearer's fame, though, has
gone on increasing. The town council
of Bourges recently offered him one
hundred francs for the garment with
the idea of exhibiting it in the museum,
but Delorme refused the offer. He
means to wear the blouse till he dies.

queer church quarrel is reported
from Scotland, where an Episcopalian
clergyman has rent his congregation In
twain by trying to suppress a debating
society connected with the church. This
society, it seems, recently considered
the relative influence of the modern
press and the modern pulpit, and de-
cided by vote that the orators who
sustained the newspaper side of the
controversy had the better of it. The
reverend clergyman therefore declared
both himself and the church grievously
insulted, and peremptorily ordered ev-
erybody connected with the debating So
ciety to resign from it,. Nobody obeyed
and the result has been empty pews and
much harsh language from the pastor
and his rebellious flock
