The girl who wishes to make her own gowns will do well to begin on chif- fon bodice. Let her take an old waist that has always fitted we'll and rip it apart. If sateen is used to line the chif- ion it gives sufficient body, but if satin is used that must be additionally lined with wasting. Cut either material like the old form, baste up all seams and fit. When everything is satisfactory sew all seams excepting those on the shoulders and under the arms. The chiffon should now be fulled on, which is an easy matter for the amateur, and it will hide the little defects in fitting which are sure to creep into the first garment made. After girl has turned out such waist satisfactorily she may try on heavier goods. The tailor gown is most difficult of all.
 My lady shows wonderful amount of sense in the shoes she is wearing They are broad-soled, with flat heels and full toes, and have quite practical air, hinting that their donners have dis carded friyolity.
 Yet how unreliable is woman! Of the frivolity lacking in their shoes, double portion is seen in slippers. Heels are not only high, but give sense of dizziness to the onlooler, and how she manages to walk at all in them is known only to herself.
 Frivolity also appears in the excess siFe amount of trimming used. Buckles with real jewels are worn by the wealthy, paste by the less fortunate. These buckles hold on in place large bows or rosettes of ribbon of the same color as the slippers.
 With very handsome evening gowns, slippers of the same material as the gown are worn. This looks like an ex- trayagant fashion. but isn't Take an old pair of slippers that are fairly we'll shaped, and see how easy it is to cover them with your gown material. binding about the top with ribbon, and slip stitching between the vanp and the sole.
 Ties are favored for house wear. They. too, are very elaborate, aud are embroidered on the vamp and sides with beads-bronze. gilt steel or jet.
 Ribbon straps. crossing the ankles, and extending as high on the limb as boot would reach, are very smart for house wear by the girl with neatly turned ankle that will accidentally re- veal itself now and again.

The perfectly plain skirt was partly coa- cealed by long, double-breasted cloak. that fell half way to the feet. Of mixed brown cloth, it was especially becoming to the golden-haired maid who wore it as well as plain brown Alpine hat.
 The girl who can afford but one gown will find an almost invaluable adjunct to it in fancy bodice. which she cass wear with her all-round skirt on cere- girls these bodices should be simply made. Chiffon Is good material, quite inexpensive, aud may be made up to be worn either decollette or with high neck and long sleeves.
 A charming bodice is of pink chiffon over satin, slightly bloused in front. The neck is cut square across and finished with tiny ruche of chiffon. Butterfly puffs form the sleeves. and SOltl A-1lHiSI lillA 5elolH iiidNtS tuS Ncl Is dainty corselet belt.
 The same waist may be worn on less eeremonious occasions with q gimp and stock collar of pink satin and lower sleeves of chiffon, easily hooked be- meath the puffs. The undersleeves are very full and have tiny chiffon head-. ings running up both seams.
 For the lining of these waists it is. best to use cheap satin or sateen, as silk does not give the proper sheen. All sleeves are pnffed and fulied as in the example given, but the bloused front may sometimes be replaced by the sur plice effect with very good results. The surplice should be fastened on one side under a graceful rosette. Bodices made with the surplice are additionally smart if high ruff is worn at the back of the neck.
 Beaded net and chiffon make bodices that are very alluring, and the girl who is handy with her needle has a double opportunity to look charming. Scroll designs should be selected. An exceedingly smart waist of black chif- ion was traced in scroll designs of white lace braid and jet beads.

ENGLAND AND LIQUOR.
No Change in the Regulation of the
Traffic for Thirty Years.

For nearly thirty years there have been
no important changes in the English meth
DDS of regulating the liquor trade. In fact,
the changes made in the course of a CEN
fury are exceedingly few, and in its main
features the English licensing system is
pretty much in the condition that it was
when the century opened. says Harper
Weekly. From 1928 to 1869 England tried
the experiment Of free trade in beer For
forty years almost anybody who liked
could set up beer shop. But the expert
ment was a direful failure. In 1869 1t was
finally Abandoned; not, however, without
leaving disagreeable traces. which are
easily discoverable today in every old Eng
lish town. Wherever half a dozen squalid
beer houses stand side by side there is a
periments ever made in regard to the
liquor trade. In 1870 grocers were per-
mitted to retail beer, and in 1874 the hours
of closing of public houses at nights and on
Sundays were fixed by parliament These
are the only important changes of the CEN
fury. In other respects English public
houses are controlled by laws which were
passed last century, and now, as then, the
local magistrates appointed by the lord
chancellor administer the licensing laws,
and issue licenses for the retail sale of ali
intoxicating drink Quite receatly the Eng
ling people have been taking stock, as it
were, of their licensing system. Lord Peet,
the late speaker of the house of commons,
is at the head OF a royal commission which
has been inquiring with much detail into
the working of the licensing laws with a
view to discovering at what point they
stand in need of amendment. The commits
sion Is one of the most interesting of the
numerous royal commissions of the queen g
long reign. 1t has thrown much light on
the social and secohomic changes which
have been taking pIace in England during
the last two or three generations.

Bequeaths Hi. Birthday.


The following charming story is told of
the late Robert Louis Stevenson. He was
visiting a friend, afterward consul to sa-
moa' In northern Vermont. This gentleman
had little daughter about eleven years
old, who very speedily became a devoted
friend Of the novelist. In pouring forth her
joys and sorrows in existence she conf1ded
to Mr.. Stevenson the woeful fact that she
was born on February %. and therefore
had enjoyed only two birthdays In all ber
eleven years. The poet sympathized not
only In comforting words, but also in ac-
ton. He mediated a few moments. then
went to her writing desk and drew up the
following document: II, Robert Louis Stew
erson. In a sound state of mind and body.
having arrived at that age when l no long
er have any use for birthdays. do give and
tequeath my birthday, the 18th of Noyern-
Der, to Miss Adelaide Ide, to be hers from
this year as long as she wishes it, Robert
Louis Stevenson" The little girls delight
at this rare and most welcome gift has
shown itself regularly once year for sew
eral years past, and new the anniversary
will be doubly treasured.

National Gathering to Meet Next
Month In Boston.
From the Boston Transcript.
Philatelsts from all parts of North Amer
lea will meet in Boston next month to at
tend the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Phiatelic Association, which will be
held on August "a, % and 26. This body
comprises the leading stamp collectors CT
the United States, and consists now Of more
than 200 members
There are probably 10000 collectors of
postage stamps in Boston and vicinity, and
some of the finest collections of stamps in
the country are held by philatelists in this
vicinity.
Probably the Juveniles are in the ma
jority among the half million stamp collec-
tors in the United States, but there are
many business and professional men of
eminence among them. In this neighbor-
hood the largest collection, probably, was
that of Fred. w. Aver of Bangor, a part
OF which was sold in London only short
time ago for 100000. Mr. Aver is one of
the members of the American Association,
and will attend the convention. The most
notable sale for cash of postage stamps in
this country was made last month in Bos-
ton when the magnificent collection be-
longing to Mr.. Nash Of Nash, Spauldiny &
Co, was sold to the New England Stamp
Company. Mr.. Nash some time ago re-
FUSED an offer OF $40,OOO for the collection,
and while the terms are private, 1t is under
stood that the price paid was about $50 600

there by Howard X. Sanderson OF Lynn,
who will visit the London stamp dealers
and attend the great exhibition to be held
there this month, at which the Duke of
York and other collectors will offer prizes.
There was a rush Dy local collectors to
secure some of the treasures of the collec-
ton as soon as the sale was announced,
and some of them have been disposed Of

PersimmOns, Gnltee More and Old
English Cracks to Meet.
The following extract from the London
Sportsman of August gives promise of a
race the result Of which will be awaited
with interest throughout the entire racing
world:
1t is no longer any secret that what
promises to be one 2of the races Of the
century will be decided at Lingfield this
autumn. The executive committee is add
ing e., 600 to a sweepstakes of $500 each for
starters over one mile, and the full condi-
lions of the race will be advertised in next
weeks calendar
1t was at first intended to make the race
a private sweepstakes, the horses to be
entered by invitation only, but, according
to the rules of racing, no added money can
be given in such a race. So the original
conditions have been modified, and the race
will be thrown open to the world.
Under the original idea invitations were
issued to H. r. H. the Prince OF Wales,
for Persmmons; to Mr. J. Gubbins for
Galtee More; to Lord Rosebery, for Velas-
quez: to Mr.. T. Worton. for Victor Wild;
to H. McCalmont, for Knight of the This

| THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY
Views Of the Disputation Is Given by Gen.
Duffeld
When Definitely Settled There VIII
Line" Now Recognized.

In speaking Of the boundary line between
Alaska and the British possessions today,
Gen. Dufheld of the coast and geodetic
survey said:
Il do not believe that when the matter
of the boundary line between the two
countries is definitely settled there will be
any appreciable change from what is down
on the map at present. There certainly
will NOT be, as far as regards the Klon-
dixie region, which is beyond all manner
of dispute in the British northwest terri
tory.
Dawson City is hundred miles OF more
east Of the Hist meridian, which is the
boundary line.
In beginning the survey, the start was
made from the southernmost point Of
Prince Edward Island That was the case,
as 1T were. The line was followed up
Portland canal till latitude 06 degrees north
was reached.
Then the survey was projected ten ma
rine leagues from the continental coast
line, as was agreed upon. This was fol-
lowed until the intersection of the ten ma
and this was run out clear to the Arctic
sea.
Mt. St. Elias.
MT ST. Elias is near the intersection of
the ten marine league line, with the 141st
meridian. To be exact the summit is 40
degrees and fifty-five minutes, or five min
utes on the Canadian side, which in that
latitude represents two and one-half miles,
But on the southern side 1t Is only
tW enty-eight and one-half miles from the
coast which brings it inside of the ten
league line. or thirty-mile limit, and one
and one-half miles on American soil.
AT Forty Mile Creek our survey agrees
with that of the Canadian survey, under
Cgilvie within fourteen hundredths of a
second, which in that latitude represents
Six and cne-half feet.
The Canadian line steals the six and a
half feet from US. Crossing the Yukon
river the difference in the two surveys is
fourteen seconds, which in that latitude
represents 300 feet. According to the line
of Ogilvie, the Canadian government sur
veyor, we gain 300 feet on the British side.
we are anxious to compare the two
lines at the Porcupine river crossing which
Is several hundred miles further north, but
the Canadian government have. given us no
notice of where they have fixed their line
there. 1 do not suppose that the difference
will be worthy Of note
Ten-Lengue Coast Line.
Gen. Duffield states that if there is any
dispute between the two countries over the
boundary line 1t will be in regard to the
ten-league coast line, in the southern por-
ton of Alaska, as that is question which
admits of considerable diversity of opinion
The new maps Of the Klondike and Yukon
territories, recently made by the survey,
which will contain vast amount Of in
teresting material as to names and locali-
ties, will be ready in a few days.
