Pretty fulness is given over the bust
by slight gathers collected under the
bertha, gathers at the waist forming a
stylish pouch effect. The sleeves ar
ranged over fitted Innings conform to
the close style now almost universal,
the tops having few gathers at the
front and back as well as on top of
upper portions, that cause the becom-
ing wrinkles preferred by many.
To make this waist for a lady of
medium size will require one and
three-fourths yards of material forty
four inches wide.

Stylish Blouse Waist.

Fine lawn all-over tucking is the
material for this stylish blouse waist,
embroidered insertion, with edging to
match, providing appropriate trim
ming. The heart-shaped plastron
and sleeves are cut with the tucks
running crosswise of the goods, and
the fancy collar may be cut on
double fold, with the tucks cross
wise in back OF on the bias, with
tucks forming V-shape at the centre
seam, as shown. The waist is simply
adjusted with under-arm and shoulder
seams, the neck being cut low in "
shape to disclose the plastron between
the revers of the broad fancy collar.
The closing is accomplished by but
tons and buttonholes through wide
hens in centre front, which is rem
dered invisible by strip of insertion
edged by narrow frills of embroidery
that is applied over the right front
edge. The stock collar is joined to
the edge of the plastron, and closes in

to the right front, and closes under
the collar on left, with buttons and
bu ttonholes.

Endurance of Arabian Porters.


Arab carriers bear great loads upon
their backs and go at trotting pace
from 6 a. m. to 6p. m. During the
month of Ramadan the Koran forbids
the taking of food between sunrise
and sunset, and this law is said to be
held sacred and rarely violated. Not
only do these porters continue their
arduous physical exertion during the
twelve laboring hours of the day
without taking any food during that
period, but the French inspectors who
are in charge of the gangs told our in
formant that they could work better
during the month of the fast than at
any other time of the year. because
their energy was not needed for
digestion. At eventide these Arabs
have a moderate meal of wheatmeal
porridge, mixed with large proportions
of butter lit is to be had cheap or

is not more than six or seven cents
day, and the only luxury which they
permit themselves is a cup of very
strong black coffee and a cigarette.

of bread, with a little olive oil, which
he buys for an additional five CENTS

LII those days nothing but a hard

now and then have had some turned
out by the old man who made tops for
me when was boy, but the boys
won't touch them, preferring the
painted machine-made tops. The
leather top cord is also one of the
things of the past, and the ordi aary
boy knows no more about it than he
does of the lost arts Several of the
old shoe cobblers of Georgetown who
were so famous for making top cords
have told me that they have not made
top cord for thlrty-fve years, and
that they have not had a call for them

Another link in the chain of i'll for
tune which has followed the famous
Newstead Abbey was forged the other
week. It seems that a curse rests on
the Abbey, and that the eldest son of
its owner has never succeeded to the
estate. Byron sold it to Colonel
Wildman, in 1903, who died child
less. The trustees sold it to Webb,
the famous sportsman, whose eldest
son died that week. Byron had the
skull which was reported to have be-
longed to the ghost which haunted the
Abbey, and he used it as punch
bowl. Webb buried the skull, hoping
to lay the ghost. Correspon-

For a Miss of Fourteen,

Smooth faced cloth in dove gray, as
shown in the large engraving by May
Manton, is attractively trimmed with
rows of bebe satin ribbon in a pretty
shade of burnt orange, that on
the outer edge being gathered
and applied in scroll design.
The yoke and collar are covered
with white tucked taffeta, bought
ready tucked for this purpose. The
arrangement of this dressy waist is
made over fitted Innings that close in
centre front. The yoke and collar
close together at the left shoulder.
The right front laps over on the left
and closes invisibly with hooks and
eyes. The whole back fits smoothly
across the shoulders, the fulness
being drawn smoothly to the waist in
centre and the front pouches slightly
over the belt. Stylish puffs top the
close fitting two-seamed sleeves that
are decorated just below the puff and
at the wrists to match. Harmonious
combinations of material and coloring
can be developed by the mode in wool,
silk or cotton fabrics. With silk, all
over lace or mousseline de sole,
shirred or tucked, will make hand
some yoking, and all-over en-
broidery or nainsook tucking may be
used with cotton wash goods. To
make this waist for miss of fourteen
years will require one and one-half
yards of material forty-four inches
wide.
