Blouse or Shirt Waist.

This shirt waist will be found most
excellent for all the waistings Of the
season, cotton, linen, silk and wool
and is as smart as it is simple, besides
suiting stout figures well. there being
no greater mistake extant than the
theory that such are at their best in
plain waists. The wide tucks at the
front that give ample fullness below
the stitchings, and the broad box plait
at the center, are both new and desir-
able, and combine most satisfactorily
with the plain back. The model is
made of cheviot. white with lines Of
blue. and is worn with blue linen
stock. But this last can be anything

A Chicago man has combined po-
liceman's club and revolver in one
weapon, and the combination is 30 ar
ranged that in his peaceful moments
close scrutiny alone would show the
officer to be armed with anything
other than the old-fashioned mace.
The club, which is of ordinary appear
ance, comprises a handle portion and
a club portion, screwed together. The
handle carries a hammer or trigger
mechanism, and when desired the han
die and club may be separated and a
revolver cylinder applied between
them, thus converting the mace into
a revolver.

is made of embroidered batiste, with a
band of heavy lace applique, but all
the pretty soft stuffs-silk. wool, cot

ate The shirred yoke is much liked
and is always pretty when the figure
is slender, but when, as often is the
case in young girls, additional bulk
at the belt is to be avoided, the plain
yoke made of lace or of other fancy
material is to be preferred.
The skirt is cut In one circular
piece, straight lengths of the material
being sewed together to give the nee
essary width, and when shirred is ar
ranged over the foundation that also
serves for the plain yoke when shir-
rings are not used.

The Corday hat is pre-eminently
stylish, but a thing Of horror unless
worn by the right woman. A hat OF
this kind recently noted was Of pale
blue chenille, with ruffies of pale blue
taffeta. In the chenille crown large
squares were wrought by means OF
white strands woven in. Besides the
rufies turning downward outside, what
ought to have been the brim, the hat
