A Charming Waist.

Fancy ribbed poplin in willow green
and gray is the material chosen for the
charming waist that matches the skirt,
shown by May Manton in the large en-
craving. The full front, yoke, collar
and revers are of silver-gray satin, the
trimming being of open bands of in
sertion, under which willow-gre
ribbon is placed. Silver passemen-
terie studied with small mock eme-
raids is used to decorate the low-cut
neck extending to the revers in front,
the wrists and lower edge of basque
waists. The waist is arranged over
fitted Innings that close in centre front.
The yoke with full vest attached closes
at the left shoulder, or the fulness may
be sewed to the left front and close
invisibly IN centre, while the yoke
closes over the gathers at top edge.
The fronts, shaped with single bust
darts, are laid in small side and box
pleats at the shoulders that taper to
the lower edge, the prettily pointed
revers being joined to the front edges
from the yoke down. Single bust
darts cause q smooth adjustment at
the sides and very slight pouch eff
feet is caused by the fulness IN front.
The seamless back is arranged over
regular back and side back forms,
small overlapping pleats in centre ad-
justing the fulness at the lower edge.
Smooth under-arm cores join fronts to
back. and the lower edge is finished in
gracefully rounded outline. The close
fitting sleeves are topped with puffs
of fashionable fulpess, the wrists be-
ing finished with chiffon plisse to
match that at neck

Stylish Skating Costu,n..

Pretty skating costumes from Paris
are resplendent with fur OF fancy
braid and gay with silver buttons that
are in reality tiny bells, jingling out
fairy music at every motion of the
wearer. The skirts of such suits are
cut close at the hip and somewhat full
below the knees, enabling the wearer
to move with freedom and adding
greatly to the sum ofgrace. Turbans
OF astrakhan, broadtail and Persian
lamb are what the smart skaters wear.
These are round cap shaped things
with tuft of bright feathers like a
shaving brush stuck up in front and
held by pin of Russian silver.

design, is very popular, but the dress

Embroideries and novel braidings will

be chosen by those who wish some
thing distinctive. The panel is usually

Among the new methods for achiev-
ing the flare at the bottom is plating
the lower fulness separately around
the bottom of the upper skirt. The
effect of one skirt draped above an
other so as to show the under one
only in part by raising it an inch or
two all round, and at one side raising
the drapery after the Greek manner,

mohs. 1t happened one day that her
eye fell upon q magnificent ring and
she coveted it. 1t cost $1,000, but
what was $1,000 to her in comparison
to the ring? Of-course her husband
consented to the purchase. What else
could dutiful, affectionate husband
do? But he tried this method of edu-
eating his wife concerning the great
price of the ring. He instructed his
banker to send the $1,000 in small
pieces pennies, dimes, quarters. In
came the money, bagful after bagful.
She never had such an idea of $1,000
before. When the money was piled
before her it alarmed her; the price
of the ring went up a hundredfold,
and was considered at once an extrav-
agance which she Of her own option

A Color Scheme For a weddinp

One OF the prettiest weddings re-
Gently occurred In the Church of the
Heavenly Rest. It was remarkable
to the spectators because of the ex-
quisite color scheme which prevailed.
The bride, very naturally, wore white;
the maid of honor wore pink, and the
seven bridemaids glimmered in silyerv
green satin. They seemed like living
fowers-a white rose and pink one
with shining green leaves-and the
effect was wonderfully beautiful when
they passed down the aisle between
tall standards filed with sprays of
pink and of white roses.-Harper's
Bazaar.

or opening the sides, to show the
under petticoat, are all charming
models, which show off two distinct
shades of one fabric admirably, the
under petticoat always being of the
lighter shade.
Polonaise motifs will abound in
trimmings, and enter into separate
parts of skirt by the addition of a
contrasting material to the polonaise
forming the length and fulness of the
drapery. There is no good reason
why the old style of double skirt
should not appear later, since the way
has been SO well paved by it, unless
the slenderness now required for the
upper part of the figure remains as
fixed as it now is.

THE WORLD ON BALL BEARINGS
The Roller Skating Craze About to SWEEP
Over the Country Again.


The Roller Skating Craze About to sweet
Over the Country Again.
The announcement that the ssroller
skating craze" is about to sweep over
the country again this winter will at
tract public attention to the manner
in which the discovery of the ball
bearing principle has revolutionized
mechanical construction in vast
number of industrial activities. So
universal has become the adoption of
this principle in all devices where it
is desirable to do away with friction
that the world may be said at this
time to be actually moving along on
ball bearings.
OF course the ball bearing idea
reached it's greatest mechanical per-
fection in the modern bicycle. This
acme of easy and delightful locomo-
tion would not have been possible
without the ball bearing axle. The
hub of the wheel is filled with little
steel balls that press against the axle
and revolve around 1t with the motion
of the wheel, thus reducing friction
to q minimum in fact, almost entirely
destroying it. The average person
who glides smoothly along on a BIZ
cycle has little conception of the in
creased muscular effort that would be
required to propel his vehicle if
mounted on the old style of axles.
But the bicycle can claim no
monopoly of the ball bearing principle.
Fortunately it is one of those inven-
tions upon which no man or combina-
tion of men has monopoly. The
farmer enjoys the luxury Of device
that dispenses with friction when he
rides his sulky plow; it has showed up
the fast records of the turf several
notches; it has enabled the housewife
to push her heavy furniture from one
room to another without hiring two
or three muscular men 70 do it for her.
The old time castor that used to dig
deep burrows into the hard wood floor
has given place to the easy running
ball bearing castor, which makes
piano as light as n baby cab.
And now it has taken hold of the
roller skate and threatens to revive
winter pastime that at one time took
all the cities and towns by storm.
Palatial rinks are being erected all
over the country, and old ones are
being remodeled and repaired. When
the people find how easy it is to glide
along on ball bearing roller skate
it is believed by enthusiasts that the
rinks will not be large enough to hold
the skaters.
Something is needed in winter to
fill the same place that bicycling does
in summer. Our winters cannot be
depended upon for outdoor skating.
No one can deny that roller skating,
if properly conducted in well managed
Kinks, is healthful and invigorating
exercise. 1t would not be strange if
the same mechanical device which has
placed more than half the human fam
lily on wheels in the summer should
put them on roller skates in the win
ter.
This is swift moving age. The
ball bearing principle is destroying
the friction of life. We are moving
along more rapidly each year and with
less expenditure of human energy.
Perhaps the twentieth century will
find the entire human family gliding
along on ball bearing shoes.

She never cared for him
Until there came day
When he fell in love with her
And acted in such a way
AS to fill his astonished friends
With feelings OF dismay.
Men used honor him
For the good sense that he had,
But he fell in love with her
And carried on like mad,
And people saw. amazed,
And said it was too bad.
Then she that had never cared
And had turned to other men
Would deign to smile sometimes,
For, being woman, when
She had made fool of the man
She rather liked him then.
