own gowns and is of great value to the professional
modiste as well as to the amateur dressmaker.

Fashions for Men are described in full detail by a
man-about-t0wn. Our Paris Letter, by Katharine
De Forest is sprighty weekly recital of fashion,
gossip and social doings in Paris, given by clever
woman in an entertaining way.

TO INVESTORS:
g Per Gent. Stock, interest Pay
able January and July.

The Baltimore Building and Loan Asso-
citation issues Paid Up Stock bearing per
cent. interest, and pays it semi-annually, Janu-
airy and July.
This stock is backed by First Mortgages on
improved town and city property, at not over
so per cent. of its appraised value.
Shares are 500 each, and are redeemable
at the option of the holder any time upon
thirty days notice after six months from the
date Of issue, at its face value.
This stock is better than the ordinary mort
gage, because borrowers from the Association
pay interest and part of the principal monthly,
so that if the Association should have to fore
close it would not have to get face value of
mortgage to make itself whole. Under or
binary mortgages interest is payable annually,
and mortgages often lose by the deterioration
of property when the mortgage is due.
Fielder C. Slingluff, general counsel of the
Association, has $50, 900 invested in the paid
up stock of the Association for himself, his
family and clients, and as all the securities
pass through his hands before acceptance, his
knowledge of the affairs of the company are
intimate.

The Canon Had ENOUGH.

An English canon of note used TO
tell a good story of himself. In his
capacity of magistrate he was once
visiting the county Jail, and expatiated
to a friend who was with him on the
virtues of the treadmill. Warming
with his theme, he declared that he
often wished that he had one at home
to give him the gentle exercise he re-
ouired. but was too lazy to take, ex-
cept under compulsion; and, to remove
his friends skepticism, he asked the
warder to give him a turn.
Round went the mill, the canon de-
claring that the movement was delight
full: but after. two minutes of it he
had had quite enough, and called on
the officer to stop the MILL To his
horror the officer answered.:
"Very sorry, sir; | can't. It's timed
to go Is minutes, and won't stop be-
fore. Birmingham Post.

An Elaborate Apron.

An apron suitable for dressy occa-
siOns may be made very elaborate.
Fancy tends toward thick, creamy
satin, which would be quite an irreslst-
ibIe material for the apron, and It's
richness would make a plain style
preferable to any fussy arrangement.
OF satin about twenty-five inches wide
you will want three-quarters Of a yard
for the skirt part, and another three
quarters to cut some bands, little "
shaped pocket and a small, plain bod
ice, which, by the way, is merely a
square press with the fullness drawn
into the waist on the upper part OF the
band, whilst the gathers from the skirt
are stroked in beneath the lower edge
of the said waistband. For trimming
have a band an inch wide outlining
the three sides of the bib, and three
others two inches in depth going right
around the skirt of the apron, while
q very short one across the top OF the
rocket should be made of the same
width. as those on the bodice. NOW,
then, for a display Of stitchery Iron
on these bands floral border, OF which
YOU can buy q transfer impression by
the yard or packet for a few cents, and
this YOU must work in delicate washing
silks. carrying out the natural shades
of the blossoms you select. Trails OF
shaded Virginia creeper would make a
very suitable pattern, the leaves IN
hues of crimson, green, yellow and rus
SET brown. with dark yeinings, or pale
mink dog roses, with tiny sprigs OF blue
and pink forget me-nots meandering in
and out, would make another pleasant
scheme of color. AS the value and
beauty of this apron depend on the
fineness of work on the borders, do not
adopt the outline stitch, but rather
fill up your flowers and leaves thor
oughly. using much discretion and
taste in the blending of your shades;
IT, however, you deem this too trouble
some a task, you can modify your la
Dor by selecting instead of the floral
design a conventional pattern which
might be worked in coral stitch, not
outline. as that would be to thin, but
the coral stitch on sprays, scrolls, and
leaves works up very rapidly and eff
feetfyely. Garry out the design in
tones of soft and dark green.
