Evening gowns are becoming more
and more elaborate, and many of them
show marked Louis XVI effects. This
is shown in the long pointed girdles.
the sleeves with wide rutI;es and the
wide skirts with their festooned ruch-
ing. A very up to date model recent
ly seen in the workshop of a great
dressmaker had shirred and corded
waist with wide pointed girdle and
elbow sleeves, plentifully ruched and
rutfied. The skirt was gathered in
very full all around the waistband, and
1t was trimmed at the bottom with
rows of ruching. The material was
beautiful pompadour silk in blurred
design.
Roses and their buds made of chiffon
adorn many pink chiffon dancing
frock. and these pretty trimmings can
be bought by the yard and detached.
Velvet ribbon threaded through coarse
lace is another dainty trimming, and
so are medallions of lace appliqued at
intervals on Powered ribbon.

Faults In Conversation.

Dean Swift once said: There are
two faults in conversation which ap-
pear very different, yet arise from the
same root and are equally blamable.
I mean an Impotence to interrupt 9th
ers and the uneasiness Of being in
terrupted ourselves. The two chief
ends of conversation are to entertain
and improve those we are among or to
receive those benefits ourselves, which
whoever will consider cannot possibly
run into either of those two errors, be-
cause when any man speaketh in COM
pany it is to be supposed he doth it for
his hearers sake and not his own, so
that common discretion will teach us
not to force their attention If they
are not willing to lend it, nor. on the
other side, to interrupt him who is
in possession, because that is in the
grossest manner to give the preference
to our own good sense

II Is quite an interesting thing IT,
learn that some of our best known
proverbs and notices were originally
used In connection with sundials. Be-
fore the days of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means of reckoning time, it
was prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maXims traceable to this
source are, Make hay while the sun
Shines" ''The longest day must end"
and 'All things do wax and wane."
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from historic one which was
placed on st. PauPs cross, in London,
and which proclaimed, Il number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
a dial on an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex, England.
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight of time and the brevity OF
life. They were as follows: After
darkness, light ALAS, how swift!'
II warn whilst move and 80 passes
life"
Another old sundial spoke petulant-
ly about the same subject in the words.
''Sirrah, be gone about your business"

Meerschaum Pipes.

"a meerschaum pipe that would have
brought $50 ten years ago wouldn't
bring more than $40 now" said a to-
bacconist. "Meerschaum pipes used to
be fashionable and popular in America,
but they are not much sought for to-
day.
cit isn't strange that the liking for
them should have waned. The meer-
schaum is an unsatisfactory pipe at
the best. Drop it and it is irretrievably
broken. Try to color it. and for a
month it tastes like soap.
cit isn't the meerschaum in one Of
these pipes that colors anyway. 1t is
a mixture of beeswax and oil that the
carvers rub into the block before they
carve it. You could smoke a pipe Of
pure meerschaum all your life, and at
your death it would be as white as 1t
had been at your birth. 1t is the Oil
and beeswax-Only that-which cOlors."

ORIGIN of XaudeY1lle.

The word vaudeville" which now
means a play in which songs are intro
duced, is a corruption Of Vaux de Wire,
the names of two valleys in Normandy.
A fuller in Wire, in the fifteenth cen
tury, composed some humorous and
satirical drinking songs, which were
very popular throughout France, under
the name of their native place, "VauX
de Vire" The terms seem to have
been corrupted into voix de vile. A
collection of songs was published at
Lyons in 1861 entitled "Chansons Voix
de Ville," and another at Paris in 1916
called "Recueil DIES Plus Bellies Chan
sons en- Forme DIES Voix de Vile"
Both these publications were probably
reprints of the original songs. At any
rate, the name vaudeville" has in some
way grown out of them.-Boston Globe.

Long MINDED Orators.

Edmund Burke's greatest speech is
generally considered to have been the
one on Cancellation with America"
The report of the speech, supplied by
Burke himself, runs to as many as
thirty-two pages. 1t contains over So
600 words. It, therefore, could not
have been delivered under less than
five hours. 1t is curious, by the way,
how long winded all the great British
orators were in Burke's time. The
older Pitt was the first to indulge in
long speeches in the house of COM
mons. After he had delivered one Of
these famous orations he was hailed
by crowds outside the house with en-
thusiastic cries of "Three hours and
half! Three hours and half!' "Just
as if a man can talk sense for three
hours and half" remarked the cyni-
cal Chesterfield, who happened to pass
hu
