A Pretty Bodioe Novelty.

There is n new note in the bodices
of fashionable gowns these days, and
although one that would have seemed
homogeneous to our grandmothers, it
is extremely pretty. 1t is double
zephyr worsted, used to lattice work
and embroider certain parts OF fancy
shirts instead Of the Roman silks and
hosses that have been familiar so
long. One distinctive usage is seen
in bodices of black satin or liberty
silk, made over white Innings. If it
is arranged with tucks--either bias or
straight, the interspaces are decorated
with a working of the double zephyr,
The decoration never represents
flowers, leaves or similar designs.
Usually it is worked in a cat stitch
and, as an added touch, when the
needle points out of each side of the
goods the zephyr is thrown about it
several times and fastened so as to
form French knot. The dress goods
under the worsted is then cut away
and allows the underlining to show
through only slightly as the catstitch-
ing was very closely done, The
worsted was OF many mixed colors
through which yellow and purple pre-
dominated. Another charming bodice
was of cherry. colored liberty silk
made over cream white. 1t was elab-
orately worked with black double
zephyr.
On rather fancy shirt waists this
work, though slight, gives them a
touch of style and novelty. The
edges, also of fancy and adjustable
collars, with ear points and pointed
cuffs, are being finished with double
zephyr. At first they are edged with
q satin ribbon of some color in CON
trast to the collar and on the ribbon
the worsted work is executed, This
work is quickly done, and it is greatly
in its favor that no advance design
ing is necessary. A straight eye and
an adaptability in designing is all thai
is necessary.
1t is also feasible to fill in many
sharp little corners on gowns with /
shaped bit, the stitches being
long and graduated. Again the ole
Roman block design is used on strap
to cross over the vests Of bodices, b,

gowns, it seems as though even NOR

Migratory birds.

The sole business OF migratory

thoughts of the birds seem to turn
Immediately to the South-to the
warm, fruitful, indolent latitudes,
where harsh windG and chilling rains
and fading leaves never benumb

break, fathers forsake mothers and
offspring, and the latter follow as fast

canoe in the problem: How do birds
find their way? The old answer was
short and easy: Instinct tells them.
This means, il it means anything,
that bird is born with an intuitive
knowledge of a road he has never
seen, perhaps crossing an ocean.
Moreover, migration routes are rarely
straight lines north and south, to

Necessities Created by New Fashions.
New fashions often create new ne.

tho mere phrase "manage the train

The way to seat ones self is to catch
