BACK TO THE CHEMlSE.
Paris Has at Last Abandoned the Corset-Cover in Its
 Favor.

Paris has dropped the corset cover as abruptly as the nondescript little gar ment was taken up and not a single rousseau of the hundreds made for wealthy or titled autumn brides includes one. Women of fashion who were per mitted to feast their eyes on the truly royal outfit of Nile. Anna Massena | Essiing de Rivoi. recently married to the ambitious young marquis of Al bufera. looked in vain for the abbreyi- ated waist long regarded as an indis- pensabie adjunct to stays. Instead. they saw stocks of wonGrous chemises. each prettier than its predecessor. on which nimble fingers plainly had lavished unusual beauty to insure their welcome. As the bridegroom is a Bonaparte. great-grand-gran of the Lucien of that name. and as the bride derives her ancestry from several of the oldest families in the imperialist nobility, be- ing a great grandniece Of Massena, Il may be supposed the lingerie was de- signed with an eye to the newest lash ion. The Tuxedo set doubtless will cling to the corset cover for awhile. but il must yield in the end-the chemise has come 10 Us own again.

PACKING BY MACHINERY.
Elaborate Mechanism Which Makes Its Own Package and Weighs
 and Wraps the Goods.

An ingenious packing appliance has been invented by NIT. Van Allen. of Paris. By means of this apparatus. which is almost human in it's action. it is possible to fashion the package, charge it, and then seal it ready for transit The appliance is a combination of weighing machine and a packer. First the machine cuts off the requisite length of lead, paper, or whatever is utilized for the envelope from a con- tinuous trayeling band pastes and folds 1t into shape leaving the mouth of the bag open. The package then passes along, stopping in it's passage for a moment to receive its contents of tea. sugar, or cereals, through a funnel. It makes another forward movement and an elastic pressure piston comes into action and rams down the contents to the minimum volume. By q further series of operations the bag is shaken
 into shape, pressed, and the ends are folded down, pasted and then labeled. Not once during the operation is the bas or its contents toucAed bv hands

 You may do your hair as plainly as that of the loveliest Carlo Dolci Madon- na or puffed out over your ears if you are of slender type; but you must look authentic, as though you were signed and remarque. not a French poster or German chromo.
 The way 10 look genuine is to think out your coiffure. to select the style with the aid of the mirror. not to decide that a certain parting or puff or twist is pretty and so adorn your head without regard to its har- mony with your type of beauty or plainness.
 The illustration shows a number of styles of hair dressing adapted to as many different styles of feminine beauty. but it is for each individual woman to choose that which suits her best
The Forrest City times., 1904-12-02

For the first time in this generation it is the fashion to study the contour of the head and modelling of the face and to adapt the hairdressing to bring out artistic effects. So women with individuality of mind or beauty are originating styles of coiffures, or imitat- ing those of early periods that suit their outline.
 Usually the effects striven for are sim- pie, and almost invariably printable that is, with an artistic expression that would be beautiful in picture forever, regardless of modes. The affectedly picturesque is still as bad form as it has been for several years past, when there was only one smart conventional style of hairdressing for women of all types and ages.
 You may look like Burne-Jones pie ture, if you want your hair to be in a fluffy knot; but you must look exactly like one, not like a poor copy made by an amateur student You may even have eurls floating down from a chignon. wite a garland of maidenly innocence

CHINESE TREE IN FLORIDA.
Rice Paper Plant Is Said to Be Well Adapted to the Climate of
 the South.

The rice paper tree. one Of the most interesting of the entire flora of China, has recently been successfully experi- mented with in Florida. where it now flourishes with other subtropieal and Oriental species of trees and shrubs. When first transplanted in American soil the experimenters expressed doubts of it's hardness. fearing that il would be unable to stand the winters. All these fears have vanished. however. and it is now the universal opinion that it is as well adapted to the climate of this country as to that of the famed Flowery Kingdom.
 It is a smav tree. growing to height of less than l. feet, and with a trunk or stem from three to five inches in diam eter. It's canes, which vary in color ac- cording to season. are large. soft and downy, the form somewhat resembling that noticed in those of the castor bean plant. The celebrated rice paper. the product of this queer tree. is formed of thin slices of the pith, which is taken from the body of the tree in beautiful cylinders several inches in length.
 The Chinese workmen apply the blade of sharp straight knife 10 these cylin- ders, and. turning them around. either by rude machinery or by hand. dexteri- ously pare the pith from circumference to center. This operation makes roll of extra quality paper, the scroll being of equal thickness throughout. After cylinder has thus been pared 1t is un- rolled and weights are places upon it until the surface is rendered smooth throughout it's entire length. IL is alto- gether probable that if rice paper mak- ing becomes al industry in the United States those primitive modes will all be done away With.-N W Herald.

A Coat Of Many Shaoes

A Cape Town tailor, according 10 the St. James Gazette. has invented coat that can be turned at will into a froek morning or evening dress coat The change is effected by the use of detach- able and interchangeable skirts. which are fastened to the body of the coat by an ingenious system of facing. It IS claimed that in two minutes a man can change frock coat into a morning coat. or a dress coat, by whipping of one pair of skirts and laeing on another, and il is impossible to distinguish the join- ing from an ordinary seam

Want to Raise Money
for a Mission.

One little resolution has entirely
broken up the program of the convo-
cation of the Episcopal church being
held in this city. In order to complete
the business to come before the convo-
cation it is necessary to cut out every
thing else. The papers which were
to have been read this morning by
Rev. II. NJ. Bartlett of Kennewick and
Rev. George G. Grove of Wallace were
set aside to give place to business.
The question which has been agitat-
ing the rectors is that of raising funds
for missionary purposes. Heretofore
there has been a great deal of parochial
work and little or no funds for the
diocesan missions. Rev. Clarence H .
Beers introduced tine following resolu-
ton this morning and a great deal of
debate followed. Resolved, That
each communicate of the district of
Spokane is expected to contribute at
least 81 each year towards the dioce-
san fund out of which the board of
missions shall pay our apportionment
for general missions for the diocesan
missions, and convocation expenses"
After great deal of debate pro and
con, the resolution was passed. The
convocation opened yesterday at
All Saints cathedral with eommun-
ion service at which Bishop Wells off
ciated, assisted by Dean Perine of the
cathedral. j. p. M. Richards then
gave the report Of the district funds.
The receipts for the year were $6l98 AS
and the expenses $448372. OF this
sl2O2 was subscribed for the aged
clergy. The convocation voted to merge
this fund with general relief fund
for aged clergy in the church. This
matter will be disposed of at the gen.
eral convocation of the church.
The women's auxiliary met and de
voted their time to questions and re
ports concerning their work.
