DAINTY FANCY WAISTS.

Some OF the separate waists shown
in the shops are effective. Most OF
them can be worn with trailing skirts
of soft materials, like voile, de sole.
albatross, etamine, crepe de Paris and
crepe de chine.
One design which could not fail to
attract attention. owing to its oddly
shaped collar. is of old red sura'h. The
bodice is tucked to yoke depth and
blouses over a girdle of black taffeta.
A butterfly bow of taffeta is at the
neck, while the long ends. reaching
to the girdle. are made to blouse with
the waist. A large cape collar o-na-
mented with Japanese embroidery and
of fanciful outline. with its two points
crossing at the front, lends a most
original cachet to this model, which
is to be worn with a black taffeta
skirt.
A dainty inspiration from one OF
the first designers on the other side
is in lemon liberty silk with tucked
yoke forming high collar. lnser-
tions of guipure in ochre tints, alter
mating with shirrings or the silk, out
line the yoke collar and top sleeves,
which are made of 1onnces. falling
over undersleeves of the guipure and
shirrings.
Another very pretty waist was Of
batiste with a broad yoke of the ba-
tiste tucked and embroidered. Wide
bands of the embroidery alternating
with tucks descended from the yoke
and bloused over a girdle OF white
silk. The sleeves we're full at the
wrists and repeated the decoration on
the bodice. which closed at the back.

He dashed his free hand into the
half-seen face OF his opponent. His
knuckles slipped from the tough.
greasy skin. He struck again as fruit
lessiy. The third blow caught the
creature squarely on mis- sunken nos
trils, and he released Talbot's hand
with grunt.
As the man sprang back on the de-
fensive the beast turned aside, and
using his long arms like clutches.
shuf1ed rapidly toward the door.
Uncertain whether the affair had
ended or not, Talbot CROPPED hastily
about until his hands came in contact
with the gun. Slipping cartridge
into the empty chamber, he walked
cautiously to the door. The veranda
was bare and rain-swept. Both Beppo
and the creature had disappeared.
After a moment 81 hesitation he
stepped out on the sodden grass and
went to the corner of the house. AS
the weird, blush light he saw the
beast halfway up magnolia within a
few PAGES of him.
AS DARKNESS came again ne ucdiu
the great brute leap to the ground
and scramble away into the desoIate
grove. Then, except for the storm
sounds, there was silence.
Certain confused memories of his
school geography told Talbot that the
creature was the great Borneo ape, or
orang-outan. The rounded shoulders
and massive chest had held the COM
bined strength of two men. Talbot
wondered, with quick, involuntary
look about him, if any more such
beasts had escaped from the circus.
Presently Beppo came mincing up to
him from somewhere out of the shad-
ows. The expression on his puppy
face was such ludicrous mixture OF
fear and hope that Talbot laughed.
Eyes, he's gone, old fellow" he said.
But just the same, you and I'll go
back to Jessie and Ripper tonight, wet
or no wet. It'll be mighty restful to
know there's nothing between me and
the clouds but few pine edgings. =

BOOKS FOR INvALIDS.

Nctaing's more dreary to get over
than a long convalescence, when
you're longing to get out and feeling
bored to death over the weeks of wait
ing.
Reading is about the only thing
that you can indulge in, and that, to
be beneficial should be of the lightest,
most amusing kind.
If you're at the stage where you
have to be read to, short story that
can be finished at sitting is the best
sort of thing. But nothing with any
"spooks" in it! For an invalid has
plenty of time on her hands to worry
herself into all sorts of imaginative
troubles.
Those pretty little Japanese stories.
and some of the lighter historical
novels (the ones that are particularly
light at the history end). volumes Of
''tea-table" poetry-as light and jolly
and amusing as possible-are all good
and half hundred other kinds be-
sides.
But don't read, if you're an invalid
yourself, or give to an Invalid, il
you're fortunate enough to be we'll
yourself, books with wild tales of
murder, or of great excitement. nor
books on weird, unearthiy problems,
nor gloomy verse. Why on earth
these things should find their way to
sick room nobody will ever be able
to answer, but in innumerable cases,
and, by a curious irony, in cases
where nerves are completely I'M
strung, fearful. depressing or over-ex-
citing books are almost invariable

PRINCESS GOWN CONSIDERED
SMART.

Princess gowns are again permissl
ble-and this is regarded as good
news for the women with perfect hg-
ures, who are better suited by THIS
somewhat severe fashion than by the
latest elaborate styles. Some stun
ming effects are achieved in black ana
white, especially one model carried
out in black cashmere. The front
breadth was made of handsome black
panne velvet, and on either SIDE was
trimming of white and black. Tnese
panels. it seems, are coming back III
great numbers, and many OF the nanu-
soonest of dinner gowns are made Win
some of the cores of velvet or lace.
Rich velvet and brocades are not
really expensive, as they last long
while. In fact, some OF the women
of today have been fortunate IN Sc
curing gowns and materials worn ~
their grandmOthers, and they are
making the best use of them for eve
ming wear. These gowns, by the way
require but little trimming, and it is
the price of yards Of lace applique ana
such like, which cost on the frocks.
There is undeniabie daintiness in the
new chiffons and tulles, and in the
fashionable eye nothing can take the
place Of these fabrics. The manufac-
turing of beautiful fabrics this season
has taken ON an entirely different
light and nowadays the materials are
soft, pliable, and everything when
helps out the extremely pretty fash
ions of this decade.
Velvet house gowns are pretty IN
the extreme, and they are very mucn
trimmed with all sorus OF appi1ques,
braids and lace. The Vatican plat,
although in fashion several years ago,
is being revived, and many women
who are looking for change OF style
will be grateful for the fad. Long
trains, if not worn On the street, are
still worn in the house, and no gown
is quite as pretty, if not enhanced by
a long, graceful sweeping train.

FASHION HINTS.

THIS season there are so many dit
ferent materials to choose from, and
it is so very bewildering to try to de-
eide among them all. that when any.
favorite of many years standing. like
chiffon or crepe de chine. makes its
appearance. it is greeted with relieved
enthusiasm.
A charmingly dainty gown of black
figured net is embroidered with gold
spangles over the entire skirt. arrang-
ed in small clusters, to follow out the
design of the net. in a small flower.
Ball gowns of sheer materials are
exceedingly smart this year. as we'll

TARIFF is THE ISSUE.
Consequently Republicans Have No
Fear of the Result.

So the tariff is to be the great issue
of the campaign. Well, every Repub-
lican and protectionist will welcome the
issue. Shall we continue McKinleyism
and Dingleyism or return to the tariffs
of 1916, 1857 and 1894? The wage
earners will decide the question. and
they of all classes will vote for con-
tinued employment, for high wages, for
progress and prosperity. Even with
the temporary lull of campaign year
We are all far better off than during
the free trade periods before the civil
war and from 1898 to 1897. Our farm
ers We're never so prosperous as now,
and they, too, will vote solidly for a
continuance of protection which insures
them a continuance Of a good home
market the best market in the world.
AS for revising the present tariff, 1t
should be done by protectioniSts when
it is done-when it can be done without
injury to business.
AS to reciprocity, we want only that
kind which reciprocates, which gives
an equal exchange in noncompeting
products and which will not injure any
American industry. Republicans are
ready to discuss this issue to the full,
and there is no fear of the outcome

Al the last session of the pcnnsylva-
