approximately reckoned that a sufficient
number of sewing machine stitches have
already been run on the new autumn
dresses to send a continuous seam two or
three times around the earth. In partial
dissemination of this estimate let mention
be made OF one Of the attractive knock

and walk during the winter. with which

who is so ruthless as to break the line
of her figure with a leather or ribbon belt
to cover the hiatus between top of skirt
and bottom of shirt waist. All praise is
due her cleveTness in avoiding any fool

Is to let her machine stitchings run right
up to the top of her skirt and in the top
within the lining a buckram reinforcement
Is slipped and this gives the top lip of the
skirt a flexible grip ON the waist line that
is firm and graceful,
To agree with this arrangement most of

Many Hats of Many shapes.
Never before has the hat problem been
as complicated as this season. for there
are at least one dozen different shapes
struggling for the vogue, and not single
one has yet arrived at anything like de-
clared supremacy. Women who can safely
indulge their preferences at the expense
of their exchequer are celebrating all the
early fashionable functions in hats Of pure
white felt, otherwise known as Capelines.
They have wide fantastically waved
hrims, after the mode of the Leghorn and
the back of the hat is left barren of deco

INLAND PEARLS.
Beautiful Gems Are Found in the
Streams of Tennessee.

BeauttfuI Gems Are Found in the
Streams of Tennessee.
Once upon time all of the smaller riv-
ers of the middle Tennessee basin were
happy hunting grounds for pearl-loving
Creeks, Choctaws and Cherokees Even
earlier the Mound Builders laid the pearl
bearing mussels under tribute. They
must have found the mussels very plenty

came later perhaps, had habit of put

Within the last few years pearl hunting
has been in a measure revived. All the
small, clean, swift-running pebbe-bot-
toned streams of the country abound in
mussels, whose inner shells show the IT.
ridescence of mother of pearl. They live
in or on the gravel beds, and are carried
about by foods and freshets. In size thew
run from the blgness of a thumb-nail to
the spread of the two hands. There is a
sort of proportion between their growth
and the depth and volume Of the water
they live in.
The big fellows which furnish pearls
grow only in big mill streams and small
rivers. Duck river, Harpeth, Stone river,
Red river, have all been the scene of no
table finds. One Duck river pearl fetched
$1,000. Another found very lately in Red
river, by lad In bathing, netted him the
handsome sum of S200-and was re-sold by
the purchaser for $780, Another young
pearl hunter found an eleven-grain Jewel
in the second mussel opened, but though
he opened 10000 more did not get so much
as a seed pearl
Usually half a dozen men and boys hunt
together, camping on the river bank, and
systematically examining the bars and
rifles. The hunting is done in summer, and
at low water. After a freshet, the same
bars may be hopefully worked over, az
not only do the gravel beds shift, but mus
sells very deep down may be brought near
the top. The hunters carry short, stout
forks and light hammers. The mussels,
which rest in the gravel half open, shut
their shells strongly at a touch. They are
pried out of the bed, and the shells broken
upon the nearest stone. Very often the
hunters find nothing-but they have had
good time, at work that was like play and
sweetened throughout with the expectation
of a big find.
The pearl hunter is not the musselfs
only enemy, nor, indeed, his chief one,
Minks, musk-rats and 'raccoons, live large
ly upon the she'll fish. Almost any pleas
ant night they can be heard diving and
splashing about the mussel beds. Altogeth-

ostensibly, they are taken from spite to
inherit money that some disiked next-of-

the adoption committee stipulates that the

Reasons for Adoption.

iron of this institution. Some take them
through kindness. They have means
more than they can dispose of, and il is
brought to their notice how many babies
go begging for parental care. A good many
only want them as toys, as playthings to
amuse them or to give additional oppor-
tunity for the exercise of lavishness. in
dress or equipment. Some take them be-
cause of a genuine love for children, and
these realize that the charge of any child,
even of ones own, means trouble as well
as pleasure II is because SO many are
