A Handsome Waist.

Golden brown poplin that matches
the skirt is used for this handsome
waist. Creamery tucked taffeta made
the yoke and collar, the edges of the
fancy palstron and epaulettes being
finished with auillings of brown
mousseline do sole. The scroll design
that dacorates the front is carried out
in jeweled braid, buttons to match
securing the ends of each tab on front.
The waist is simply arranged over
fitted Innings that close in centre-front.
The tucked yoke, being applied at the
top, closes with the blouse front in
visibly in centre. The back is cut
away in square outline to disclose the
yoke of tucking that is applied over
the lining. Its upper edges meet the
front at the shoulder seams and are
trimmed to correspond. The slight
fuIlness at the lower edge is drawn
we'll to the centre at the waist line.
The distinctive feature of the waist
is the fancy front that is shaped with
a low square neck and square tabs on
each side. These lie smoothly over
the breast in pinafore style, becoming

in pleats with the blouse front. The

Suicides in Italy.

The statistics of suicide in Italy
during the year 1895 show an increase
of fifty per cent. over the ten preced-
ing years. The total reaches 1000,
which gives a mortality of GAL per
100000 inhabitants. Of this total
there were 1404 men and sos women.
Of these S13 were married people, S84
single, 1T w1dowers and sixty-one
widows.
The cause of the increase in suicides
in Italy may be attributed to the
greater difficulty OF earning liveli-
hood ana the growing burden of taxa
ton. 1t is also claimed that the
spread of education is responsible to
q certain extent, rs it leads to so much
unjatisfed ambition.
The districts where suicide is the
most prevalent ere precisely those
where education is the most devel-
oped. The maximum is recorded in
the province of Rome, l1.4 per l00,-
OG0 inhabitants; then come Emilia
and Liguria, with 10.11, and Lom-
bard, with 1T per 100000.
On the other hand, in the provinces
where education is, ii anything, neg
lected. the proportion attained is
scarcely two to three per 100, coo.

The wrists are shaped with a bell-like

the epaulettes and wrists correspond
to the tabs on front, and around The
