had vest of white MORE Brown vel
vet ribbon trimmed it in the manner
indicated, small gold buttons held the
ends of the velvet bands, and dainty
embroidered chiffon jabot peeped from
between the revers. Brown silk was
used for the belt. On the skirt near
the hem was a zig-zag pattern of the
velvet ribbon.
Grenadines, too, display all the new
shades and often there are two or more
of them in one piece of goods. The
more brilliant colors are in the striped
weaves, in making which it is planned
that the lining shall correspond to the
stripe. You cannot well go wrong in
color. Imagine yourself a row of hol-
lyhocks in full bloom on the west side
of a house and in a sunset, and you get
an idea of what you may risk in bright
ness, especially since it Is permitted to
grow bed of ve1vets near by. Grena-
dine seems the fabric best suited to en-
mesh all these lovely shades together.
One can hardly believe that the demure
transparent stuff of last season is q
relative of the Haunting rainbow varia-
ton of this season. Grenadine seemed
last year to be used to tone down the
brilliancy of an audacious lining. This
season the lining has become an effort
to support the saucy challenge of the
grenadine itself The ground to the
grenadine is almost always black, and
with a black ground almost anything
can be done this season.

THE INVOLVEMENT BIRD.

An Epicure Who Regarded the Turkey
as Too Large for One and Too Small
for Two.
In the days before the war" a family
of hard working people lived in a hor-
der county Of Mississippi. Their home
was situated upon the big road" which
led from Alabama northward into Mis-
sissippi. They did not keep a tavern,
but they often fed the wayfarer.
One Saturday the housewife roasted a
large turkey, baked batch Of bread,
and made a number of pies. She was
ready for her Sunday dinner, and ex-
pected to go to church the next day.
The services were held q number of
miles away.
After two o'clock that Saturday af-
ternoon single horseman appeared.
He asked for his dinner, and fed his
horse in the ample stable of the farmer.
The housekeeper was busy and the
man in haste, so she set the turkey
before him, thinking that he would not
make much of an impression upon it.
The stranger sat down in front of the
turkey and set to work. He cut into
the breast of one side and ate it all.
His appetite was only whetted. He
demolished the wing and then cut off
the leg; The drumstick disappeared
and the upper joint was stripped The
woman stood aghast. She battered out
to the back porch, where her pies were
| cooling, and, selecting a tempting APP
pie pie, set it before her guest. He put
it to one side, and turned the untouched
| side of the turkey toward him. He cut
off the wing and the leg. The woman
saw her Sunday dinner disappear be-
| fore her eyes.
At length, having exposed all the
| bones of the large fowl, he attacked the
| pie and left not crumb.
The woman sank in a chair near by.
| She was too much overcome for a mo-
| ment to speak. Then she said:
"You seem to have enjoyed the tlr-
key. There is not so much left as I
expected"
She could say no more. She felt that
words were inadequate to the occasion.
The man pushed back his chair, took
out his quill toothpick crossed his legs,
! and sighed with satisfaction. Then he
spoke:
well, madam" said he, "a turkey is
| very inconvenient Bird
He fell to Illuminating. His counte-
nance expressed the benevolence which
a good dinner is apt to produce in a
Imam.
The woman waited for him to *
plain, but he was silent. Then she
said:
why Is the turkey inconvenient,
"Well, madam, it is little too much
for one and not quite enough for two"
replied her guest.
The woman fainted-St. Louis Re-
| public.

ILLINOIS, INHERITANCE tax.

The decision of the United States
Supreme court affirming the validity of
the Illinois inheritance tax law pro-
ceeds Oh the basis that an inheritance
tax is not one of property but Of sue
cession, and that the right to succeed
to property is merely a privilege con-
ferred by law, and may therefore be
limited by conditions. The court holds
specifically that the rate of tax on the
succession is not affected by any pro-
visions of the respective State constitu-
tions requiring uniformity and equality
of taxation. 1t says that these consti-
tutional provisions merely require that
all persons subjected to particular leg
islation shall be treated alike. or in
the words of the opinion, that the law
shall operate alike on all under the

DEEP-sEA soUNDINGs.

From the earliest ages mankind has
been inquisitive as to the ocean depths
and the mysteries of life and being
they are supposed to hold. To the SUI
perstitious peoples of the old nations
they were bottomless CULTS, haunted by
sea dragons and strange monsters; and
the value of some famous jewels be-
longing to the Doges of Venice was
much enhanced by legend attach
ing to them that they had been brought
by sorcery from the uttermost abyss
of ocean," For centuries these confus-
ed ideas prevailed as to the great deeps
and though we moderns do not share
in them, yet we are as curious as were
our forefathers concerning the matter
of their exploration, in which science
has achieved something, though not
much.
knowledge of these great depths is

FASHION NOTES.
Goods In Which Hues Are Bright,

Checked summer goods, particularly
in silks, are extremely attractive, and
pin money diminishes before them like
dew before the sun. In a majority of
these goods the selection of colors has
been guided by excellent taste, and all
the stylish shades are found in the dis
play. When new and attractive models
are found in a certain stuff, it's stylish
ness is proven, so the check taffeta of
this pictured dress was shown to be de-
sirable, even had it's beautiful coloring
not made 1t so without need of other
evidence. The colors were blue, brown
and beige, and the handsome jacket

Professor Walters, the American
archaeologist, has discovered a vast
prehistoric burying place in the Choc-
taw Indian country. In it are at least
~, 900 skeletons, which first appeared in
cutting the Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Cuff railroad some months back. Most
of the skulls are pierced with arrow
heads Of moss agate or darts. Above
these bones are two distinct geological
strata, which circumstance enables
Professor Walters to estimate the date
of burial at 10000 years ago. He be-
lieves that terrible battle took place
then between the Mayas and the
mound builders and that these bones
represent those who were slain. This
great battle was one of the many be-
tween the Mayas of Mexico and Central
America and the mysterious mound
builders for the supremacy of the
northern continent.

Colonel Watson of the Thirteenth
regiment, N. Y. N. G., explains that
the reason he and others of the regi-
ment hold back from volunteering is
affection for their armory. Colonel
Watson said to reporter: eff we
went into the regular service, and were
sent away to the war, when we came
back we might not have any place to
be quartered, as we have now. There
would be nothing to prevent our ar
mory being taken from us and used by
Others" Many of the men in the regi-
finent are much dissatisfied, and wish to
obtain transfers to other regiments
s'whose officers are willing to fight"
One of them said: 1--WE are in the regi-
1nent for that purpose, and not to pro-
tect our armory building against any
action that the county authorities may
see fit to take. We would rather lose a
dozen armories than our honor"

articles of personal adornment, is enti-
