Waists. Bodices and Biouses.

None but fattering comm tents are to
be made OF dress waists as they now
reveal themselves, and powerful as
has been the effort to coax women to
accept more decoration on their skirts,
the waists, bodices and blouses of the
majority of costumes continue to steal
oil the real glory and color.
Stitching is in high favor as finish
for wraps and costumes. A fine ex-
ample of waist trimmed with stitch
ings is shown in the large engraving.
Several gowns were seen with no other
trimming save rows and rows OF fanci-
full stitching in some contrasting color.
Blouses are now exactly like those
OF previous years. They are made
tighter and over very close fitting
lining. The pleats, whish used to be
on the upper part of the bodice, and
were widened at the breast, putting out
and enlarging the waist. are continued
to the belt, kept fiat, and sewed with
lingerie stitch. These plests are ar
ranged in every possible way, long
wise, horizontally. diagonally, as in
sertions- etc. Collars are still made

observations made by balloon or tower
will be communicated to the general
staff headquarters by means of tele-
phone and telegraph lines, to be
erected by the telegraph battalion Of
the Royal Engineers. This battalion
has seen long and honorable service.
In the erection of temporary lines it
has made record for speed, stability
and efficiency. Galloping across a
plain, horsemen may be seen, i'm
paling their specially constructed
posts at regular distances. With q
speed that is almost incredible, other
horsemen follow, unreeling the coils
of wire; others, with an agility and
skill hitherto confined to circuses,
pursue them, standing on saddle to
adjust wire to the insulator, drop
ping into their seat, only to repeat
the operation few yards further on.
The illustrations show that this limo
is not as primitive in construction as
one might suppose.

skirts That Are the Mode.

This seasons styles fulfil twofold
mission. They make the stout woman
look thinner, and the slender woman
becomes dream of loveliness and
shapeliness when she dons princess
effect gown, short jacket and Direc-
toire hat. Every skirt is tight fitting
about the hips and very much flared
around the bottom, sleeves are small,
collars high, some basques are shown,
and fringe is the acme of novelty.
The favorite model in skirts will be
seamless circular shape, fitting like
glove over the hips and back, and
flaring at the bottom to the width Of
from four and half to five yards.
This flare is very perceptible as the

without any perceptible pressure, the

very important consideration at the
present time, when princess dresses

first of all give consideration to the

dressmaker is likely to be lost.

Auanta's Lutheran Congregation
seems to want IA Change.
Atlanta, Oct. THE congregations of
the Rev Erick Schwab of the German
Lutheran Church have dwindled away so
perceptibly in the past few weeks that the
church council asked the minister to re-
sign, and he will preach his farewell ser
mon tomorrow morning.
The chief reason assigned for the dissat-
isfaction ON the part of his Pensioners, is
that the Rev. Mr. Schwab wabbles consd-
cradle in his walk. He is man of quite
a nervous temperament, and that fact is
noticeable in his every movement Then,
too, he has very lorid face, which,
though not strange Characteristic for
Germans of the blonde type, has caused
some comment His slight stature also
has acted against him. In view of the
manner in which he walks ana his red
face. some members OF the congregation
have given it as their opinion that the
minister was imbibing too freely.
The pastor is % years old, and
a native OF Germany He was graduated
