White Shirtwaist.c.

Golf and cycling shirtwaists do not
vary much from the ordinary shirtwaiSt
says a writer in Harper'S Bazaar. but
they always should be made with sleeves
large enough TO give full freedom to the
play OF the muscles of the arm The
armh0les must be a good size. and there
must be nothing about the waist that in
any way confines the figures Many
stout women cannot wear unlined shirt
waists. bur the lining may be cut away
around the shoulders. and with the
sleeves unlined, there is really not much
difference. There are flannel shrtwaists.
mohair shirtwaists and the wash silks
and these last are the smartest of any
this year, for they really do launder mar
vclouSly well. better than any materials
that require starch.
White waists are smarter This ypor
than ever, rs are plain cOlors. but in the
coioIs the stripes are considered more
novel These stripes are in three or four
shades Of the one color, and are. as a
ruic, imported by the shirtmakerS. The
waist with the yoke in the back, short
yoke on the shoulders, fullneSS below the
yoke and blousing a little at the belt i'm
front is an old pattern but favorite
one again. The waists made with hox-
plaitS, either large or small. are not sat
iSfnctory: for when they are Numbered
Il is almost impossible to have the plaits
ironed in the shape that they originally
were, aud it is best TO have something
that will come ont of the laundry in the
same shape il goes in.

Treatment Of Frecklec.

The fact that frecklcs are the usual
penalty eXacted by nature for the be-
stowal Of delicate complexion in no way
compensates any daughter Of Eve for
their unwelcOme presence. The poet may
call them 1.-THE kisses of Apollo. but
she prefers to dispense with the atten-
tions of the sun-gOd. Probably the least

they are very apt to renppear. The

petual problem
FreckleS are divided into two classes
cold or constitutional freckleS. and sum
mer or light freckles. The latter fade
gradually. or yield for time. mt least to
mild lotions The former require almost
heroic treatment, which then frequently
brings disappointment. 1t is impossible
truthfully to guarantee freclle cure.
The very situation of the freckle-h'Alow
the Slrface-offerS an obstacle. One diff
ticulty in the way of their removal lies
in the wide difference in the texture of
different skins. \ freckle lotion that will
have no effect upon ones complexion will
irritate and blister that of another.
The chief ingredient which enters into
many freckle lotions is acid. An acid
will bleach the spots when ii reaches

4 Novel Method of Catching Monkexs

The Indian of South America employs
this peculiar method of capturing mon
keys:
Taking cocoanut, he cuts mole in
each end just large enough to enable Il
monkey to insert its paws; puts some
lump sugar inside. then places it in Il
promising spot and awaits the capture OF
his game
When monkey finds the shell. in its
greed it inserts Il paw ut each opening.
closes them on the sugar and then can
not withdraw his paws without opening
them again aud dropping the sugar.
Rather than do this the monkey will at
tempt to escape with the cocoanut on its
paws, and SO is easily captured.-Ampri-
can Boy.
