ed completely in respect to blouses. Once
they said that they were away out.
Women wouldn't have it. So now the
fashion makers have admitted blouse nm
ish of many sorts.
The blousing is emphatic. too. The
tight back and bloused front is quite gone
by. Bodices are either tight all around,
or tight at the back and straight in front,
or else they are bloused all around. In
the latter case the blouse hangs straight
in boxy fashion. quite free OF the belt.
The present craze for tucks lends itself
especially well to such a bodice. The
correct cut makes the tucks hang per-
pendcularly from the bust line and turn
under sharply at the belt. The same
effect is produced under the arms and at
the back. Such a bodice is usually worn
with rather n wide belt. and that is an
added stylish touch. for wide belts are
in great favor. y pretty bodice on this
order is sketched here. Ii was rose col
ored pastel cloth. 4 lace yoke extended
over the shoulders and was ono with the
sleeves. The skirt was tucked at back

The yoke was white silk embroidered In
black, and black velvet bands trimmed
the skirt and the top of the bodice.
These all-around long skirts have In

proper thing to cut house skirt SO long
that II lies In folds on the top OF the foot

where the extra-length folds had better
lie when she walks or she will come TO
ungraceful grief. With house dresses It
Is the rule to give either dash of black
or of Persian coloring. Many OF the ma
chine places make speciality OF knotting
fringe to the edge Of goods, and 1t is very
swagger to trim a gown with bands or
Persian colored velvet edged with fringe
showing colors to match those in the
stamping Of the material. 1t Is astonish-
ing how much distinction few such
bands properly disposed will give TO an
otherwise very simple gown. The second
of these three dresses, for instance, was
white serge finished with Persian panne
velvet and fringe to match. or itself
simple in the extreme, the gown became
q perfect beauty with the addition OF the
indicated trimming.
White as summer color is hold-over
from many seasons. There is promise for
the coming summer of more than usual or
it. Even now thoughtful providers are
buying new house gowns with view to
their use later as garden dresses. White
cloth, white serge, white linen and pique,
as well as cashmere, silk and poplin, are
all employed. Another sign of judicious
choice is the tendency toward rather
simple outlines. This right hand dress
may seem too plain after the recent elab-
orateness, but overdresses are not the

The Revista de Medicina Y Circugia

ical study" by DR.. Montoalvo, DIR. de

Of the Cuban patriot, Antonio Maceo.
The most noteworthy point Is the ex-
istence of an interparietal, or, as 1t is
sometimes termed, an Inca" bone,
from the theory that it,was universal
among, and distinctive Of, the old Peru
Wan race. This, however, was shown
by Anoutchine to be erroneous, for af-
ter examining many thousands Of
skulls i'm various museums he found
the bone in only 0.S per cent In Peru

In 1.3 per cent. I'm Americans. Maceo

Dark drifts OF clouds shut out the sky,
The air Is rent with sounds of strife;
I Ny brother marches forth to die,
Or take some fellow mortars life
The Peace the world has waited for
Shrinks pale behind the skirts Of War!
Across the plains the ruts are deep
Where engines of destruction passed;
The blinds are drawn where orphans
weep,
And blood is flowing free and fast;
The hills give back the lannon's roar;
The Song of Peace Is heard no more!
My brother mocks me in his heart,
blame him for the stand he takes;
The world Christ saved is rent apart,
And every tie that bound us breaks!
The war god shrieks, the sabre CLEANS,
And crimson streaks are in the
streams +%l
But God was reigning In the sky
When David went to smite his foe;
And God is reignlng still on high,
And still inspiring men below!
And when the sounds of battle cease,
And when the work Of War is DER,
Then shall the hopeful Song of Peace
Swell higher, clearer than before!
