Misses and Girls Wrapper.


A tasteful wrapper, or lounging
robe, that can be slipped on In her
own room and be worn during the
hours of privacy and rest is essential
to the comfort Of the growing girl as
it is to that of her elders. The taste
full garment illustrated in the large
drawing exactly fills the need and is
absolutely simple at the same time
that it is made on graceful lines. The
model designed by May Manton is
made from dimity. showing pink spots
on q white ground. but all washable
materials are suitable as well as light
weight fannels and flannelette for the
cooler days. The fronts are slightly
full at the neck and widen out to
form the skirt portion. The back Is
full at the neck and drawn In with
gathers at the waist line, below
which point it falls in graceful folds.
The neck Is finished with deep turn
over collar and the sleeves are in
bishop style. At the waist is a ribbon
that is tied slightly toward the left
side and holds the fulness in place.
To cut this wrapper for girl twelve
years of age, six yards Of material
twenty-seven inches wide, four and
three-quarter yards thirty-twO inches
wide. or four and a quarter yards
forty-four inches wide, will be re-
Quired.

the like, means danger OF parting ana
consequent underlying anxiety. The
princess skirt illustrated was designed
with Just tnese facts in view and can
be relied upon as absolutely satisfac-
tory and entirely comfortable as well
as correct. The model is made of tan
colored tweed with a stitched band
at the lower edge; but cheviot, home
spun, duck, linen, pique and all the
fashionable materials are equally ap-
propriate. The skirt is cut in five
cores and is laid in an inverted pleat
at the back, an adjustment that
means graceful folds at the lower por-
ton and perfect freedom of movement.
When desired, the founce can be
omitted and an undertaking, stitched
on, used in its place. The bodice por-
ton fits to nicely and is cut in be-
coming curves at the upper edge. The
shoulder straps are attached to the
back and button over on the fronts,
serving to keep the bodice smooth.
but if preferred the skirt can be made
without the straps, the bodice portion
being fitted snugly enough to retain
its position.
To cut this skirt for q woman of me-
dunn size, six yards of material thir-
ty-two inches wide, four and five
eiyh. yards forty-four inches wide, or
four and five-eight yards fifty inches
wide will be required, when band

Who made the land?" was question
that came naturally from him, and as
his inquiries are answered he is grad
ually shaping a creed for himself. Mr..
Anagnos says that as far as the
achievement Of results is concerned.
Tommy's record strpasses that of all
other persons in his condition. That
is, he is not second to Laura Bridg-
man, Helen Kellar or Willie Robin.
Instead of a helpless idiot, deformed
Caliban, as he might have been; he is
a bright, intelligent boy, with a face
full of expression. With his bent
toward science and his zeal for in
vestigating, he may some time make
his mark In the world.
Tommy's education is naturally ex-
pensive, since the time of one per-
son must be given entirely to him.
The 500 Of the past year was con-
tributed by 80 individuals and organ
izations in different parts of the coun-
try. Kindergartens in various day and
Sabbath schools have been among the
contributors, and many little children
are regularly saving their spare PEN
MES to send to Tommy Btringer. A
movement has begun to establish
permanent fund for Tommy, similar
to that which was raised for Helen
Kellar, for If he continues to develop
as rapidly as in the past, he will GER
tainly be able to return to the world
a greater part of all that has been
showered on him. He is interested in
electricity, and asks extremely intellt-
gent questions about It's practical ap-
plication. His first ride in an.automo-
bile was an event In his life, and the
gift Of companion bicycle by a lib
eral friend led him to devise a kind
of wooden bicycle which he called a
foot car"
But above all Tommy's cleverness Is
his affectionate disposition, which
makes him fully appreciate all that
has been done to bring him out OF
darkness.--H. L. R.. In Chicago Times.

The tiniest of rabbits wandered into

day, and when the family cat, not

A writer In McClure's Magazine says
that the atom of today Is still scien-
tifc abstraction. Many facts have
been brought to light that make 1t ap-
pear certain that matter is not con-
tinuous-is NOT capable Of infinite sub
division. Dalton, the Quaker school
master of Manchester, was the first one
to bring the atom down to earth and
make It a useful idea. The atomic
theory, proposed by Dalton in the early
years of this century, lives today, and
IL stronger than 1t has ever been. not
withstanding the efforts that have been
made to show that 1t Is built upon
sand. 1t has been and Is today an
extremely useful theory. Whether it
will always continue to be so is anoth-
er question and one that need not
bother US.

where the crew began discharging her

The barkentine Joseph L. Eviston.
| Captain RamSelius, arrived in port
| from Newcastle, and carries a cargo Of
about LOO tons of coal, which is con-
signed to Alexander & Baldwin. The
cargo was originally consigned to Ka-
hului, and the Eviston went to that
port and remained there for about six
teen hours. Her consignees sent her
to Honolulu, however, and she will
discharge her cargo in this port.
The Eviston made the trip from
Newcastle in remarkably fast time.
Counting the sixteen hours which she
spent at Kahului. she made the trip
in forty-three days. which is better
time than has been made for quite a
while. She is a fine boat. and this is
her first voyage to this port.
Captain Palmgren, Of the Encore.
thought that he had made a pretty fast
passage until he saw the record made
by the Eviston. The difference in the
time Of the passages is explained,
however, by the long calm which kept
the Encore back just as she had sight
