DRAPED SKIRTS.

There are also draped skirts. These
are intricate and hard to- understand
Four large, pointed, shawl-hke pieces
are so arranged that they form tunicS
at the front and the sides and the back.
The drapery is put on from the waist
and the point falls to the hem of the
skirt. The sides are precisely like the
front, the same long, sharp point grad
ually growing broader from the hem
upward to the belt is seen, and the
back is a repetition of the sides and
front. For this skirt the large plaid
shawl patterns are used, the Mckinley
plaid in red, and the Fergus plaid In
green being the two most popular de-
signs, unless it be the Westminster
browns, which are the rage in London;
they vary from yellOW-brOWn to the
greenish shades of the same color.
The new skirt materials are properly
described as novelty" goods. They
have a groundwork of dark brown into
which is woven all the tiny bits of
color of the rainbow. Flecks of gera-
mum, of sky-blue, of light pink, and
of delicate green, are scattered through
the weave. For service there is moth
ing to equal this material From a
vulgar standpoint, it may be argued
| that it is impossible to spot" such
goods, as it is already thoroughly spot

this the economical woman cannot but

WHEN A GIRL
MAKES HER DEBUT.
If She Does 50 in a Quietly Elegant
Manner She Need Spend
Little.
Co.. rnrrnn
By Grace Joyce.

Coming out in society is such an i'm
portant step in the life of a girl that
whole pages in the magazines are de-
voted to it every year; and the society
columns of the newspapers are filled
with accounts of the brilliant happen
ings at these events
For brilliant" they must be called.
When a society function costs, as in
the case of Miss Crocker this year, or
Miss Drexel of a year ago, the sum of
$4,000, its Importance cannot be ig
nored in fashions world.
But there are young women who wish
to come OUT who are not able to 90
to the expense of an elaborate enter
tainment, nor do their parents feel like
going to this expense for them. Little
or nothing can be spent upon the intro
duction into society, for the money
must be reserved for the gowns which
the girl will require the first year
For such young women there is
large field open. There is a degree of
quiet elegance which is as impressive
as expenditure and a certain dignity
which takes the place of music, a ca
terer, and a florist.
The first step to be discussed is the
necessity, in the case of a family of
moderate means, of introducing the
daughter at all. AS the heroine SAYS
of herself in a novel, I'VE girls never
came out at all; we just leaked out"
This unpleasant way of getting into So
ciety can all be avoided if the girl and
her parents so desire. Moreover, the
coming out is a pleasant little function.
properly arranged, and the fact that
the girl has been formally introduced
will open for her many fields of enjoy
ment, upon which she can immediately
enter.
For the most informal introduction of
girl of, say, eighteen years of age, an
afternoon at home is the most ap-
proved. The mother takes her own
calling card and writes the name OF
her daughter underneath. Across the
bottom of the card she writes lat home
- Monday from 2 until 81
On that afternoon the mother dresses
in a pretty reception dress-not a loose
one, but tight-htting gown, suitable
for calling or receiving caIls-and the
daughter dresses in white. This year
many Of the debutantes wore the pas

gest the daintiest of the paintings OF
the French school. Tulle, null, taffeta

ties. A vepy pretty debutante with fail

shakes hands with the guest and, from
that moment, the social life of the cir
has begun. Upon the impression sh,
creates at her coming out all her futur,

The matter of a debut is so simple
thing that it is a pity that it is eve
omitted, for the girl viii remember i

because the hat and skirt match so
well.
In the shape of hats there is a de-
cided tendency toward the English
walking shapes and it's notifications,
the Minerva, the Langtry, and the I'M
creased Fedora. The distinguishing
characteristic of all is the uprolling
side, the downward tip in front and
back, and the broad effect across the
face. A hat of this kind transforms
an irregular face into a classic one and
makes a classic face even more SYM

EGG SAUCE.

The usual way of making an egg
sauce is to add three minced, hard
boiled eggs to a pint of drawn butter.
The true way is to make a Holland
aise sauce, either with chicken or white
broth, cooking this for half an hour
with a minced onion, six whole pepper
corns and bay leaf; thicken with two
tabIespoonfuls of flour; cook a few
minutes and strain; add the yol1s of
three eggs and a teaspoonful of lemon
Juice and be careful after this not to
let the sauce boil To this sauce add
chopped hard boiled eggs-two or three
and some minced parsley.

RECIPE FOR CREAM OF ROSES

Take one pound OF oil of sweet al
monds, one ounce of spermaceti, one
ounce of white wax one pint of rose
water, and two drachms of Malta rose,
or nerolet essence. Put the oil, sperma-
ceti, and wax into a well-glazed pip
kin over a clear fire, and when melted
pour in the rose-water by degrees, and
keep heating till the compound be-
comes like pomatum. Now add the es-
sence, and then put the cream into
small pots or jars, which must be well
covered up with piece of bladder and
soft skin leather.

hat alike in color and material, and
both of them matching the skirt in
tone, the costume is complete as to the
keynotes of harmony-color and mate
rial.
The wearing of an immense chrysan-
themum in the jacket of a color to
match the hat and muff is the very
latest yagary of fashion. The chrys-
anthemum is not necessarily a natural
one, but may be of silk.

PUNK and began to deliberate with
him as to what course we had better
pursue; deliberation in which I could
not choose but take part.
Should we attempt to join the gcner-
al? Margaret and were both in favor
of doing so, but Punk overruled us,
saying that the general had doubtless
been persevering in his endeavors to
get near the railroad, and had at
tackled the camp in order to give an
opportunity TO some other corps of his
men to slip by and accomplish his OBJ
ject; that he had no expectation of
crushing the enemy, only to distract
his attention, and, this effected, he
would be off to some other point.
We had but little time to listen to
Plunk's explanation of the generals
movements, for we heard the sound of
horses hoofs coming from the direction
we had been pursuing, and in few

HOW MUMMIEs WERE MADE
The Three Methods of Preventing
Human Bodies Prncticed by
.. the Esyptinns.

There were three different ways of
mummifying the body, practiced by the
ancient Egyptians, the price being the
for the differences. In the first and
most expensive method the brain was
extracted through the nose by means
of an iron probe, and the intestines
were removed entirely from the body
through an incision made in the side
with sharp Ethiopian stone. The
intestines were cleansed and washed
in palm wine, and, after being covered
with powdered aromatic gums, were
placed in Canopic jars. The body was
then filed up with myrrh and cassia
and other fragrant and astringcnt sub
stances, and was laid in natron for 70
days. 1t was then carefully washed
and wrapped up in strips of full linen
smeared with gum. The cost of num-
mifying a body in this fashion was
talent of silver, about 81 200.
In the second method the brain was
not removed at all, and the intes:ines
were simply dissolved and removed in
fluid state. The body was also laid
in salt or natron, which, it is said, dis
solved everything except the skin and
bones. The cost of mummifying in
this manner was 90 minae, or $3.50. The
third method was employed for The
poor only. It consisted simply Of
cleansing the body by injecting some
strong astringent, and then sailing it
fnr IN dave Nho
If the friends of the dead were too
poor to go to the expense of even the
cheapest of these methods, the body
was soaked in salt and hot bitumen, or
in salt only. In the salt and bitumen
process every cavity of the body was
filled with bitumen, and the hair disap-
peared. Clearly it is to the bodies which
were preserved in this way that the
name mummy" derived from the
Arabic mumia, or bitumen) was first
applied. The sailed and dried body is
easily distinguishable. The skin is like
paper, the features and hair have disap-
peared and the bones are very brittle
and white. It may be noted that the
eyes were sometimes removed and their
places supplied by others of ivory or
obsidian. The hair was also removed
and made into a packet covered with
linen and bitumen. At late period the
flank incision was covered with metal
plate, on which a symbolic eye was en-
graved. The linen bandages employed
to swathe the body were three or four
inches wide; the length was sometimes
as great as 400 yards.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

There are 242 German Baptist
churches in the United States.
The first college paper was published
at Dartmouth, and was edited by Dan.
iel Webster.
There are about 10000 female teach
ers in Great Britain, or three times as
many as men.
The library OF the late Cornelius Van
derbilt contains one of the four perfect
copies of ''The Bay Psalm Book"
The Universalist church reports 1908
parishes and 47,471 families, an increase
of about 1900 families over last year.
AS the result of an vestiga ton the
Orange Judd Farmer says that out OF
$4,000 students in 17s universities and
colleges in the United States $1,000 are
the sons or daughters of farmers.
Scientists have discovered that the
memory is stronger in summer than in
winter. Among the worst foes of the
memory are too much food, too much
physical exercise, and, strangely
enough, too much education.
A Dartmouth catalogue of 1921 est"
mates the expenses of college year for
an economical student at $9S.65. The
corresponding estimate in the 1899 cat
alogue amounts to $273. The chief in.
crease is in the cost of board and tuf-
ton, the latter having jumped from ST.
year to $500.
In Switzerland's six universities there
are 937 women students, of whom IS:
are matriculated regularly. The great.
est number, 353, comes from Russia;
IS are Swiss, SO Germans, 25 Bulgarians
and seven from the United States. They
are inscribed chiefly in the faculties Of
medicine and philosophy.
The Railway Mission Christian asso'

HORSES NOT SUPERSEDED.
Automobiles for Some Time VIII Con-
tinuc Too Expensive for
Common Use.

When the bicycle became so popular
several years ago the enthusiasts
claimed that the death knel of the
horse had been sounded. They argued
that it didn't cost anything to keep
bicycle, while horse, when he wasn't
being used, was eating his head off.
But the horse survived and the bicycle
fell from popular favor. Now the au-
tomobile appears on the scene, and we
again hear talk of the horseless age.
ITO be sure, the automobile is very ex-
pensive as yet" the enthusiast will tell
you, "but that condition of affairs can
not last long. See how the bicycle was
forced down in price" Then he will
tell you that the horse is doomed. He
forgets that the mere cost of an auto
mobile is only an item.
A Philadelphia lawyer, who has just
returned from Paris, which is automo-
bile crazy, says that the cost of main
tanning one would bankrupt the ordi-
nary citizen. "There are plenty to
choose FROM" he remarked, with
steam, gasoline, petroleum or electric
motors. They range in price from $500
for a motor cycle to $4,000 for heavy
rigs suitable for carrying four persons
and a driver. While in Paris l busted
myself to the extent of finding out how
much it cost to operate one of these
carriages. For year it's about as fol-
lows: Gasoline, $3.50; lubricating oil,
$5.45; repairs to carriage, $1o2.50; re-
pairs to machinery, $1s5; repairs to
tires, S27.50; sundries, s64.s0; depreci-
alton, $3.50; tax, $50; servant, 5000. That
makes a total of Ss72.75. Remember.

A RACE AGAINST TIME.

The officer was getting no informa-

"Well?" ......
"Let me speak with you alone.
He cast an inquiring glance at her,
then led her out of hearing. We
watched them talking, Margaret speak
ing confdentially, the colonel with
every word becoming more attentive.
O, my God! she would never talk
that way with him unless she were
friendly to his cause. There is some
deep-laid scheme which she has been
working from the first. She is ex-
planning it all to the confederate. He
takes her hand and looks at her kind

We three stood breathless, waiting
developments. Bullets began to sing
by our ears and spit against the trees.
The confederates flew to arms. At the

of horsemen charging.

We all spoke the words simultaneous
