Many to Choose From.

Most fancy waists stop at the down.
dropped belt in front. The newer fashion
that finishes with tabs falling either I'M
der or over the belt to several inches be-
low the waist line is not yet popular.
Fichued bOdices are charming for semi
dress. Almost always the fichu falls long.
There is little abatement OF the Eton-
jacket craze, and many fancy bodices
show the Eton or suggestion of 1t.
Fancy waists may be collarless In st. Ce-
ella style or high-swathed at the neck.
Yokes are as popular as ever, but one may
venture something else if she likes. Vel
vet, satin, grenadines, tissues, all-over
lace from the most delicate TO a heavy
openwork cording. brocades, and hand
stitched lawn are all being made into
fancy bodices. Stunning tailor-like clota
ones are gold-buttoned and gold-braided.
Plaid velvet bodices are wonders of match
ing. The Russian blouse bodice trimmed
and fastened at one side, reappears in all
materials, though IL seems better suited
to outside jackets.
Altogether there is much TO choose
from. Five pretty selections were made

Monett's Housemaids, Club.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
The housekeepers OF Monett, Mo-, are
wrestling with q social problem. The
housemaids of the place have organized
club. which might we'll be called a trust.
The existence of the club was not sus-
pected until quite recently.
It was discovered thus:
The wife of railroad man heard of an
unemployed housemaid and FASTENED TO
secure her services.
Where are your references?" inquired
the slrl, blandly.

asked the lady.

The wife OF the railroad man departed
in wrath, but after a weeks trial de-
cided 10 submit to the club. She did not
reach this conclusion, however, until she
had satisfied herself that the housekeep-
ers of Monett were AT the mercy of the
