The bertha is one of the most popular
bodice trimmings Of the season, but the
very tiny holero still holds high prestige
in spite OF the abuse of its use. An effective

applications of creamy guipure and full

The winter season will probably give jet
an opportunity such as it has not had in
several seasons past. The beautiful deep

The sheer stufYs the linens, the voiles and

Linen is as popular as ever--a furore in
fact, and is woven in countlesss varieties.
Certain plaid linens, in appearance much
like Irish poplin, are finding favor with
Partisan women for morning frocks, and
fine silky linen, appropriately called toile
merveilleuse, is fashioned into the most
elaborate of costumes.
Handwork is freely used upon linen, and
the smartest linen costumes for daytime
wear show hand embroidery OF cut-out

trasting color. For example, white,

"BoN VOYAGE, MYNHEER II!
The baron finds his vehicle awaiting
him just outside the hotel. His driver
is on hand, and with his usual form

be O sealed book to him, for the men
converse in Russian.
"Move on, Kito." comes the order.
The stranger has not entered the We.

look behind, he fails to see him. OF
course, the shadows are dense along
under the trees near the hotel, and It
may be he has secreted himself among
these. Again it is possible he hanS7

reflection. He has won many diplo-

Little does the willy baron suspect
that all this affair is a deep-laid

American girl accepts the invitation in

Belt. in his Naturalist in Nicara-

of attack used by different species Of
wasps. One, accustomed to animals
and not to man, takes care to crawl
down the outstanding hairs to the
skin before inserting its sting. while
others, which live in the midst OF hui
mar dwellings, fly straight at q mans
face. The first species, true to inner
tied instinct, when it attacks unfami-
liar human beings, attaches itself to
their hair or their boards. But there

covery was the outcome of the action
