Probably the most colossal mistake
in recent criminal annals was made
by a New York burglar the other day.
He went into a dressmaking establish
ment in broad daylight. where twenty
women were working. and tried to
plumber the premises. AS a simple
matter Of course and a natural con-
sequence the women fell upon him
with hat-pins. jabbed him till he close
ly resembled a porous plaster and
handed him e to a policeman. The
records in even a city like Chicago TEEN
with captures of foolish burglars by
women single-handed. What fate
could be expected for the man who de-
liberately invaded a house filled with
twenty women, every one of the twenty
having her hat-pin handy?

Although pearls cannot yet be made
in the laboratory, they a be slowly
built up by natural process at the bot
tom of an aquarium. Signor Comba,
who has been experimenting for sew
eral years IN the artificial production
OF this m~uch-prized stone, is laying
down a large quantity of pearl oysters
on the shores Of the Mediterranean,
with a view to extended operations.
The objection has been raised that the
mother-of-pearl shell will not 'live"
in a temperature of less than 6S to 20
degrees Fahrenheit, and that the nor
NAL temperature OF the Mediterranean
IS too low to give any hope Of the sue
cess of the enterprise. The same ex-
pertinent has been carried on In
Queensland and western Australia
with great success, but those countries
are at a ~prohibitive distance from the
chief markets for mother-of-pearl,
which are London, Hamburg and
Trieste, the expense Of conveying the
pearls thither being too great. 1t is,
nevertheless, admitted that there are
great possibilities in the artificial pro-
iduction Of pearls, which, under skillful
management, could be made a profit
able industry IL carried on concur
rently with systematic pearl-shell cul-
tivation.

Odd waists and bodices have come
to be an accepted and essential part
OF every woman's wardrobe, SO it is
well TO bestow a little thought upon
the general effect, and in selecting ma
terial and trimming to have those
which match the skirt in color. This
applies to the dressy bodice. A shirt
waist in winter is usually made to wear
with jacket suits, and should contrast
prettily.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Then there r the plain, smart silk
waists designed for the special benefit
Of the tailor-made girl. In addition to
this there r the winter shirt waists
of flannel, and others Of corduroy and
velveteen, all equally in demand.
Many of the elaborate separate
waists, which are among the imported
models of the big shops, cost as much
as $50 each, and even the shirtwaists
in fancy silks come as high as $35.
But-consoling thought-there are
others.
The flannel shirt waists are made in
the same conventional way as of old,
but they are more often of fancy fan
nels than plain. Embroidered fannels
are a fad of the moment, and the polka
dot, the bow knot and feur de lis are
the favorite designs. The narrow box
plat is decorated down the front with
gilt or silver buttons nearly twice the
size Of those used last year.
For the tailcr-made girl French fan
mel waists trimmed with stitched bands
of leather are considered extremely
smart.
For theater and dinner wear the
waists show much artistic skill. Many
of them are made of tucked and hem
stitched silk, and the tucking, instead
of being straight up and down, is
formed into wayy scallops or odd de-
signs.
Finely embroidered waists are a spe-
eial fashion fancy. They are made of
mousseline tatfeta, or any plain, soft
silk, and are embroidered in the same
color. Waists Of this description are
extremely effective in the delicate pas
tel shades.
1t is also the fashion to have these
waists embroidered in white elk. They
are worn underneath the skirt, and a
narrow, stitched silk belt is sold with
them.-N. Y. World.
