GIRLS COSTUME.

plications are often outlined with a cord
which sometimes shows an intertwisted
metallic thread.
Gowns intended for ceremonious wear
have the bodice matching the skirt. The
bodice differing from the skirt is still we'll
worn, but is comparatively informal.
Travelling gowns are usually in the
tailor made style. They are of wool
goods of substantial quality, never of
silk. Absolute neatness, correctness and
harmony are the requisites of the travel
ing costume, which should have the same
character throughout. Plumes, spangles,
lace and furbelows Of all kinds are quite
out of place and are to be avoided.
Boleros Of cloaking, velvet and fur will
be worn this winter.
The girls costume illustrated is Of
beige wool with brown spots. The skirt
is closed at the side and bordered with
brown stitched bands. The bodice has a
blouse front. and the collar and plastron
are Of turquoise velvet. The 6chu, tied
in front, is also Of turquoise velvet, as is

NEWS MAY BE TRUE.

Foreign Governments Could Easily
Learn Of Boer Victories.
LONDON, Nov. 4. While it is assumed
here that news of Boer victory ema-
mating from the Continent cannot be
true, because of the censorship, the
fact is forgotten that foreign govern
ments are fully privileged to send and
receive cipher messages to and from
their representatives in South Africa.
AS matter of fact, the rumor of the
capture of the Hussars, the occupation
of Dundee and the disaster of Monday
came first from Berlin, from which city
also came the first news of the Jameson
raid. So, tidings of any British reverse
are as likely to come from there as
from anywhere. General Whites posi-
ton is acknowledged to be 50 precarious
that the landing of big naval brigade
to go to his assistance is being advo-
Gated.

A curious industry, at least to the
uninitiated, is that pertaining to
whalebone, from its original or crude
form to that of it's many applications,
useful and artistic. Most of this arti-
Gle is landed at San Francisco and
shipped Eastward to be distributed at
the various centers. Before leaving
the Pacific coast the bone is split sort
ed according to color, and tied up in
bundles: after splitting the pieces are
termed "stalks" or slabs" are from
three to twelve feet in length when
ready for shipment, and weigh frcm
five to twenty-five pounds each. When
received by the manufacturer each
slab is tringed with strong glossy
black hair; this has separate value
of its own, anu Is used for certain fur
nlture manufactures, and is also mixed
with horse hair in brushes On the
hair being removed the slabs are
scrubbed vigorously and then put to
soak in water for about week; when
sufficiently softened they are subjected
to the action of steam in strong recep-
tacles of special design, being thus
ready to be split into "shell' or grain"
bone, and finally cut into stays, whip

anything to suit her. So told Charley
that we had better let her go elsewhere

She just laughed. So Charley said he

She hesitated, and the teacher, who
had become interested, inquired:-

Charley didn't do anything. The
girl rolled up her sleeves and told him
if he didn't get out of there she would

10 Cure Creaky ROots.

Cheap shoes are not necessarily of
poor MATERIAL said shoe-clerk
"Creaking often accounts for the low
price. Cheap double-soled shoes near
ly always creak, and the reason is
that two soles do not quite fit or one
is of more pliable material than the
other, so that they rub against each
other. Among the remedies usually
tried is soaking the shoe in water or
oil. This is effective for time. but
the cure is only temporary. The creak
Invariably returns ina few days. How.
ever, there is one certain and simple
remedy. 1t is to drive three little
wooden pegs into the sole. The pegs
prevent the friction of the soles. ANY

and so not only restore your own
peace of mind but also that of your
