Blouse Eject. i'm Fur.

The blouse effect appears in furs as
we'll as in lighter materials. Beautiful
coats Of Persian lamb, made up plain
or with white sealskin, are in plain
jacket designs, tight fitting in the
back. but gathered in at the waist line
in front to give the familiar blouse ef-
feet. A beautiful outer garment Of
black velvet, imported. is n genuine
blouse, and very elegant. It is trimmed
with chinchilla and heavy white braid
in a lace design. The blouse below the
belt is cut in battlemen+s trimmed with
the white braid, or. as the uninitiated
would say, with the white lace. The
sleeves have a design of the braid at
the cuffs, and a simple design. little
more than a dot, adorns the high stand
ing collar. At the back of the collar,

The young women of the "set" took

HOMEMADE TRIMMINGS.
Nay Be Fashioned by Deft-Fingered
Omen

We are apt to use the term "home-
made" with some suggestion of doubt
fulnes as to the style and quality of the
article produced. If the great mass of
knew how and where all
the beautiful things by which they set
so much store were made they might
very soon change their opinions as TO
the Specification of the term.
Large establishments, those that
deal extensively in garniture of all
grades, employ experts who estimate
the amount of material per yard for
these trimmings. Parcels containing
what is necessary for a certain amount
of trimming are given or sent out to
those who work in their own dwellings.
Sometimes a woman of more than or
binary ability takes a quantity of mate
rial and distributes it among workers
of her own. She makes herself respon-
sible for it and turns in a large amount
of finished product. Many of the rich
est and most elegant trimmings are
made by people who would be incapable
of originating al idea or of planning
even the smallest detail of their w
occupation. They are. however. trained
to the most mathematical accuracy in
the thing they are required to accom-
plish. and this is the secret of fine work.
1t is not at all difficult to do hand
some work. provided one is willing to
sacrifice all p~reconceived ideas of style
and effect and go down to the basic prin-
ciples of absolute accuracy. No dealer
would accept from one of his workers
Il bit of pa~ssementerie with one loop or
curve one-siXteenth of an inch larger
or smaller than another. provided they
were all supposed to be of a size.
The world is full of quick-witted,
deft-fingered women, young and old,
who might have just as many handsome
trimmings as they chose to wear if
they could only be made to comprehend
the absolute necessity for the most eX-
IRENE nicely of detail. The stores are
almost all supplied with patterns and
materials and in the larger cities in
struction is given TO purchasers in
many eases without any charge what
ever. II takes but a short time to learn
to do 4 simple pattern. In all cord and
braid rassementerie The material IS put
upon the pattern and the sewing is
done on the wrong side. OF course great
care must be taken that the proper side
of'the materials is face downward. \
little practice and close attention rem
ders this an easy matter. In all work.
whether of plain or intricate design,

She directed the band of white clad

The attention of those who were
there on that evening was divided be-
tween the "angel food and a literary
lion from New York. He had not been
much of Il lion when he went away
from Valley City many years before.
Widow Simpkins remembered him
as a red-headed, bare-footed boy, who
trudged over the hills with his bucket
of b~iackberries to sell. Since those
days, however, William Dorrance had
traded bags of wool and sides of bacon
for a college education. Subsequently
he had wandered to strange lands, and
in n of his pilgrimages had unearthed
a long buried city.
1t vas not the city which was of so
much Importance, but a pavement, in
a wonderful state of preservation,
which showed that civilization was at
least 2,00G years older than any previ-
GUS history revealed. So William Dor
