In the first place, though it is Of chit

Of a relief. and decided departure. The
ekirt is pale blue chiffon, and it has an
old-fashioned Spanish founce put on it
across the front. This fiounce forms
deep points, and finally disappears in
the long straight lines OF chiffon that
forms the back. The aounce is outlined
across the top and finished across the
bottom with little simple oldfash-
toned rutfls not very wide. The bodice
is Of chiffon and has large, loose trans
parent sleeves.
Over it is worn a new boil. 70 that has
long stole ends which fall clear to the
floor.
This bolero is done in yellow mousse
line de sole; it has succession of sun
bursts done in long black spangles that

strewn with pale blue spangles, and the
whole thing is outlined by narrow
border Of long black spangles and tur-
quoise. The full sleeve is gathered into
a wristband ieweled like the bolero.

A word about hats. A letter from

season have now been shown. Certain
ly, DO very startling novelties have been
exploited. though it was expected there
would be many unusual revelations that
would transform completely the present
lines of the modish woman.
Beyond the revival OF the bel sleeve
OF the early thirties. and the effort to
introduce the ample skirt modelled
somewhat upon the clumsy skirt of that
period, there is nothing that even sug.
gests radical change in the present
fashions.
The bell sleeve promises to be popu-
lar, and will in all its varying forms be
widely worn.
lam not so sure of the success of the
new skirt with fullness appearing over
the hips.
In fact, am much more certain of its
ncn-success.
American women object strongly to
bulk, and simply refuse to adopt any
style that will add to the size Of their
hips. The Paguin shirt distinctly does
this. 90 that would seem to seal it's fate.
Its influence is already felt, though,
in some ways. in consequence Of it's re.
vival, the long tails of the frocks that
have been in vogue all winter have been
noticeably locked.
All the skirts are wider about the bot
tom, but the best models are fitted close
over the hips, the fullness being die
dosed OF in tucks, pleats, gores-or
things" you please-so it is
disposed OF, and the skirt fits closely
nearly to the knee.
Wide belts-twelve inches or so wide
are another revival of an ugly fash
ion. They are hideously unbecoming
and will not endure.
Welldressed women, who will have
none Of them, are disposed to go to the
other extreme and wear the narrowest
of narrow strips about the waist. The
smartest belt does not measure more
than half an inch.
The art of building Princesse gowns
seems to be improving with every new
model. Certainly. provided one has the
figure to wear them, this is the prettiest
fashion of all-and as only an expert in
the art of building clothes can turn
them out, they are sure to escape the
penalty of over-popularity.
In the new play at Daly's, Hilda
Spopg and Mary Mannering both wear
dinner gowns built on Princeese lines.
Mary Mannering's is of white mousse.
line de sole embroidered in gold beads.
This embroidery forms long lines that
descend from the top to the hem Of the
frock.
On the bodice beads are placed so
closely together as to form solid mass
OF yellow crystal. At the waist line
they narrow 10 and form what seems to
be jeweled belt; from the waist line
down they spread out until, when they
reach the bottom Of the skirt, they are
quite eighteen inches apart, with
godet Of the chiffon falling between
each stripe, giving somewhat the effect
of a pleated skirt. A long. straight line
of chiffon appears all the way down the
front Of the gown, giving the effect of
its opening over chiffon underskirt.
A little collar and tiny sleeves Of the
soft chiffon complete this dainty, simple
frock. Hilda Spongs dinner gown is
OF violet Liberty crepe de Chine. 1t
fits her wonderful figure with the accu-
racy Of well-itting glove, and sweeps
out in long, graceful folds in the back.

Power of Rank.

of the all pervading influence in Russian

BE PATieNTI

The longest night has its morning.
Its evening the weariest day;
The bluest OF skies will grow flmy
And merge into clouds of gray;
The hot, burning drought viii be broken

And the inists that the showers engendeR

The warm winds that drift from the south lanC
Will follow the icy blast
That sweeps over meadow and woodland
When the snowtakes fall thick and fast.
On the meadows, now brown and barren.
The daisies again will nod,
And the ripe, golden wheat viii be cleaning
Where the snowdrifts lie deep on the sod.
The weariest lane has its turning;
The dawn on the darkness waits
Through deaths portal, SO dark and so lonely
We enter the heavenly gates.
Wrong shall by right be supplanted,
And justice shall triumph yet.
And the flowers Of freedom shall bourgeon
On the graves Of our heroes blood wet.
The hearts that are aching with sorrow
Again shall rejoice and be glad,
The smiles of contentment and pleasure
ulumine the face that is sad.
Time heals every wound, cen the keenest,
Grief fades like the mist away,
And peace foods the spirit once blighted
As the sunlight makes radiant the day.

supplied by the military commanders
of the whole continent in equipping the
warriors on the many expeditions in
which French and English We're con-
stantIy engaged. and was furnished
the Indian allies of the English in our
war of independence.
This weapon was either in the form
of a spear or hatchet blade on one side,
while upon the opposite side there was
a euplike cavity, with a small hole ex-
tending into the eye of the weapon, in
to which a tough handle Of wood was
fitted IS inches or two feet in length.
The handle was perforated almost its
entire length, and below the hollow Of
the bowl it was bored at right angles
to this perforation. a suitable stemh6le
for the passage of the tobacco smoke
when the implement was in use as a
pipe.
The tomahawk pipe was not only at
tractive and popular in trade, but like
the earlier trade pipe, was given as a
present at councils and ratifcations Of
treaties. 1t was pipe. hatchet and

LEARNING TO SWIM.
Some Hints In nm Art which Every
body Should Acquire.

DCNS DUO0A0 <AC4AATCs
Learning to swim should be part Of
every woman's education 1t is a point
so far that has been too much neglect
ed, according TO a writer In The La
dies World, who gives the following
hints:
If one can wear life preserver while
learning much nervous apprehension
is avoided. The knowledge that one
cannot possibly sink Is a great aid to
the timid pupil. Another good way is
to have an assistant or director who
sits in boat or on the end of spring
board or raft holding pole, the other
end being attached by a line to a stout,
broad belt around the chest. Where
one has neither n life preserger nor a
friend at the end of pole the next
best thing is to learn the motions Of
the stroke and practice, keeping in
shallow water, so that when tired the
feet can be regained while resting.
First. the hands are put together,
palms downward, under the chin, and
they are shot outward, cutting the wa
ter like wedge At the same time the
feet are kicked forcibly outward as far
apart as possible. the heels then drawn
sharply together until they touch. The
amount of propelling power depends on
the vigor of the kick outward and the
force with which the heels are drawn
together AS the body loses momentum
the hands. are separated, turned palms
outward and swept back with a strong
motion, describing a half circle. 81
multaneously the knees are drawn up
under the body preparatory for another
stroke
While learning it is almost tmpossi-
bic to keep the face entirely out Of the
water until the habit is formed Of hold
ing the head upward and backward,
the chin elevated. If the lungs are
well filled before beginning the stroke,
the breath can be held until one or two
strokes are made, when the air may be
expelled and the lungs again filed be-
fore renewing the exertion.
The best way to practice after hav-
ing learned the motions is to go into
the water every day, twice if possible
not staying in too long at time, where
there is smooth, sandy shore Wade
out to where the water is waist deep
and swim lengthwise of the shore or
when a little more confidence has been
gained wade out to where the water
nearly reaches the neck, turn around
and try to swim ashore.
Never under any circumstances while
learning attempt to swim out from the
shore, for a stroke or two sometimes
will bring one where it is impossible to
touch bottom.

FrancstIreurn.

Everywhere men not belonging to the
army formed themselves into companies
Of francstireurs TO take part in the
struggle against the Germans. They as
sumed uniforms more or less fanciful
and were for the most part very well
armed. 1t was their task to wage a
guerrilla warfare partly before the front
and at the tanks of the different armies
and partly at the communications IN the
rear Of the Germans. Their attacks were
made by surprise or from hiding places
and from ambnshes.
The honest German soldier was all the
most embitiered by fhis behavior Of the
francstireurs aud the national guards
because they were wont at need to hastI-
ly assume the appearance of inoffensiye
peasants By throwing away and hiding
their arms and getting rid Of every badge
indicative Of military service. That nm
der such circumstances the Germans
gave "short shrift'' to such fellows taken
red handed will be thought only reasona-
BILE, even though II is quite possible that
at times innocent men may have suffered.
