Mexico. An officer in battle Is always
expected to carry his sword in one
hand, and If his horse is at all frac-
tious or hard TO guide he has very lit
tie opportunity to defend himself with
his pistol. and there has been in
stances when If n revolver was within
easy reach an officer could have saved
his life instead of watching an enemy
aim his gun ana fire before the doomed
man could reach the pistol. The ad-
vantage of this combination weapon
will therefore be easily understood, as
the officer could easily swing the point
of the sword toward the enemy in Il
shorter time than n gun could be
raised and fired. The arrangement of
the two weapons Is such that the trig.
ger can be easily manipulated while
the hand is closed over the sword grip.

Woman's Blouse Waist.

The simple flannel, cashmere and
Henrietta waists made In shirt waist
style, but with variations in detail,
take precedence of all others for morn

On it are arranged the back and
fronts that extend below the waist,
and to 1t Is attached the shield with
the pointed stock collar. The right
side of the Shield Is attached perma-
nently, the left ir hooked over into
place, and the stock closes invisibly
at the centre back. The left front is
attached to the front edge of the lin
ing, but the right is left free and
hooked over onto the lelr beneath the
stitched band that finishes the edge.
The sleeves are in bishop style, and
are finished with slightly fiarlng
pointed bands or cuffs that hook over
at the seam, where short opening is
invlsibly finished.
To cut this waist for woman of
medium size four yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, three anu a
half yards twenty-seven inches wide.
or two and quarter yards forty-four
inches wide, viii be required. with
three-quarter yard of material twenty
