wosnan's shirred Skirt.

Skirts that fall in full and folds
draping the figure gracefully are much
liked for all the softmaterials now In
fashion. This very pretty May Manton
one is made of flowered batiste and is
shirred at yoke depth from the waist
and again between that point and the
knees. The shirrings are exceedingly
fashionable and give a most satisfac-
tory effect while the lines produced by
their fulness are in every way deslr-
able.
The skirt consists of one portion,
which is circular, and the belt. The
shrrings are made on indicated lines
and are drawn up to fit bands which
are cut in the exact length required.

Lawsuit 400 Years Old.

A lawsuit which may probably be
claimed as the Oldest in the world Is
reported from the Trehtina. The two
communes of Gallo and Foza have
been for four centuries In litigation
for the possession of an extensive tract
Of woodland, which has assumed the
character Of a virgin forest, with trees
Of colossal size, which no man dares
to souch. Spots are still pointed out
where 200 years ago the two COM
munes fought pitched battles for the
disputed wood. Apparently the home
ric struggle is as far from closing as
ever.

womsu's Tucked waist.

Tucks of all widths and arranged In
all possible ways are greatly in vogue
and are most effective In the soft fash
ionable materials. The very charming
May Manton waist, illustrated in the
large drawing shows them arranged
in pointed groups and combined with a
deeply pointed yoke that is exceedingly
becoming. The original is made OF
white pongee stitched with corticelli
silk, with yoke Of cream lace. but
silk, woods, cottOns and linens are all
appropriate to the design.
The waist consists of fitted lining.
front, backs and yoke. The front Is
tucked diagonally, and scanned at the
centre and blouses slightly over the
belt. The backs are drawn down snug
ly at the waist line, and are tucked on
horizontal ines. The yoke is separate
and arranged over the whole. When
desired the lining can be omitted In
both waist and sleeves. The sleeves
are made with the upper portions
which are tucked at the lower edge,
and the full parts that are gathered at
both upper and lover edges and are
finished with straight cuffs at the
wrists. At the neck Is regulation
stock.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is four yards twenty

Tufted Veilinys.

TufteC veilings are in the market,
and very delightfully."- they are to view
better still to possess. In fawn-color,
smoke-gray, banana-color and willow
green the effect seems particularly
good, and It becomes difficult to make
choice. One can obtain tufted veil
ings In navy blue and black. the tints
desired by so many women who do not
wear light colors except in wash
gowns. The tufted veilings are quite
novel, much more so than the smooth
finished etamines, voiles and alpacas
of the mohair type.

Hiuh Pressure Boilers.

In Sibley college work, boilers
standing pressure of 1000 pounds per
square inch have been used, and Prof.
Thurston expresses the view that twice
that pressure may be successfully used
eventually, or with sufficient exper-
ience In its management. These fac
tors would raise the efficiency nearly
80 per cent. and reduce the coal per
horsepower to about three-Quarters Of
Z pound.

Fads In Linen Frocks.


Some of the prettiest and latest linen
frocks are arranged over batiste slips,
which in all cases are of the same
shade as the outer material.
A particularly effective gown is Of
light blue linen, combined with deep
ecru lace. The blouse IS made with
groups of the narrowest tucks running
lengthwise, and the same idea is car
ried out in a sunburst fashion on the
skirt. Between these small tucks are
bands of ecru cluny lace, which form
stripes down the entire frock, begin
ming at the collar and finishing at the
hem of the skirt. A girdle of folded
pale blue liberty satin is around the
waist, fastened with clasps Of dull
finished gold. The sleeves are also
tucked their full length, with bands Of
lace between, and have cuffs Of wider
cluny lace.
An effective touch Is given to the
gray linen gown by appliques OF gray
linen as large as a quarter of a dollar.
These pieces are buttoned-holed with
black silk to the lace, and the gray
linen centres are filled in with small
black silk French dots. Three wide
bands of the appllqued lace compose
about the whole of the skirt, with the
exception Of a hip yoke Of the linen
and two other circular pieces below
this which form O division between the
bands of lace. The waist has deep
yoke of lace with the gray batiste lin
ing showing family through II. Several
wide tucks of gray linen form a finish
TO the yoke and another band OF lace
carries the blouse down to the waist
line. This is finished with black vel
vet belt with a butterfly bow in the
back.
A couple of natural colored linens
are both trimmed with white lace. One
has a yoke formed Of Teneriffe circles
around small centers Of white linen.
These look like and are nothing more
or less than doilies put to new use.
The end of the skirt has also a border
Of these placed a short distance apart
from one another. These pieces form
a yoke on the blouse and very pref
ty finish at the elbows for the divided
sleeves. The other tan-colored linen
has crossed insertions Of torchon lace
with lace beading on either side Of
each strip Of lace with narrow black
velvet ribbons run through them.
This forms diamond shaped pieces over
the graceful circular skirt and in the
same fashion over the waist and
sleeves.
A pretty white butchers linen frock
has a trimming of stitched bands OF
clear blue linen covered with bands
Of antique lace. The seams in the skirt
are strapped with the blue linen bands
in tailor fashion to the extreme edge
and is then raised to indicate high
point before it meets the adjoining
strap. The blouse waist has the lace
covered linen bands arranged on 1t
in a box plated fashion, three in the
back and the same in front, and 1t is
completed with a collar and trim
belt of the same.-New York Mail and
Express.

Sun and Air Baths.

A flower that is deprived of air and
sun becomes sickly and droops. This
is exactly the case with girls and
women under similar conditions. They
become weakly, pale-faced and deli
cate, without being seriously i'll.
The old-fashioned belle with waxen
face and languorous ways is striking
ly in contrast to the belle of today who
rides, walks. swims and plays tennis,
breathing into her lungs the breath
Of life and bathing her hair and face in
purifying sunlight.
Medical statistics show that four
times as many invalids recover in
rooms which are flooded with sunlight
and air as in those from which both
have been partly excluded.
Air and light are enemies of mi
erobes, and they find it difficult to
flourish in pure oxygenized air.
Sunshine ripens the air as it does
the fruit. Children who are brought
up in sunless, airless tenements sue
cumb to disease more readily than
those who have lived in air and sun.
The sun bath at sanitariums is one Of
the most important factors in the
treatment of invalids.
Flood your houses, your rooms and
yourselves regularly with the benefi-
cent rays of the all-pcrvading, purify
ing sun and do not shut out this health
bringer and restorer for any cause
whatever.-American Queen.

The Girl Who Can jump.

Chicago claims a new athletic cham
pion, holding the record for standing
board Jump and the running broad
Jump These were not made in the run
ming trunks usually seen on the cinder
path. They were made in the cumber-
some bloomers and loose fitting
blouse, Offering an excellent resistance
to the wind.
All this makes the performance of
Miss Evelyn G. Gardiner the more
creditable as an athletic feat. AS a
junior at Vassar she broke the college
records in these two events and is now
the champion jumper of the school.
Miss Gardiner made the standing
broad jump of feet z inches, beating
the record by one inch, and in the
running broad jump she made IA feet
3-4 inches, beating the record by
three inches. She alse won the 120-yard
dash over hurdles. and came within a
fifth of a second of eQualling the record
in that event.
II was the annual interclass track
meet OF Vassar in which these records
were made. Miss Gardiner had trained
earnestly In the school gymnasium for
her events. The result was that she
aided the juniors materially In carry
ing OF the honors Of the college.

me Latin Quarter of Today.

The Latin quarter of today is as full
of individual character as the same
ground in the middle ages. One writer
says Paris only possesses two really
marked Municipalities, the student
and the grisette. Not but that student
life is always changing it's outward
semblance, just as the university
structures themselves are changing
theirs.
Since the days of Abelard Paris has
grown from a town of 10000 inhab-
itants clustering around little island
to one Of 100000, covering almost a
whole province, but the students are
still the soul of the city. When Paris
makes merry or mourns, the students
lead the way. 1t is the Latin quarter
which sets the fashion in ideas, as the
Champs Elysees in dress.-Scribner's

part of this word is connected with
