arm also serI es as guide to limit the

New York Inventors Idea Does Away
with Necessity of Sleeping

Camring-out parties have become
30 popular in the past few years that
the demand for improvements that will
make camping out less of a hardship
and more of pleasure has been gen.
eral all over the country. Mutual
friends often organize into small club
with the intention of procuring an out
fit and "roughing it, for week or so,
and the outing generally is beneficial

at home. One of the dangers attached
to camping out Is the necessity OF
sleeping close to the ground, and those
who are not accustomed to this gen.
orally suffer from malaria and some
times rheumatism. To overcome this

One great drawback to the use of

WAVES

atus being mounted upon a pier or
wharf Connected to the main driving
wheel, which is about 80 feet in diameter
and is mounted on a stationary shaft or
axle, is a hub with a metal extension
having an inner periphery provided with
teeth. A bar is secured to a weighted
float in the water-this float preferably
being vessel filed with water-and

clutch in the hub of the driving wheel.
The motion of the waves is transmitted
to the float, which moves the bar up and
down, rotating the fly wheel. This fly

other pulleys and the power obtained

waves would tend to transmit power
at a comparatively high rate of speed.

An Illinois inventor has recently de-

mounted upon a pair of handles, which
ure hinged together in the manner OF
a pair of tongs. The device may be
heated by gas Jet or otherwise, and
the garment is then creased by being
passed between the rollers. The inner
ends of the rollers are slightly beveled

NOTES ABOUT NEEDLEWORK
Various Items Of Lingerie That Are
Of Interest to Women
Readers.

Taneta, mOhair and sateen continue
to reign supreme among dark UNDER
skirts.
Silk batste and null in white or
pale, delicate colors are used to make
very dainty, flmy corset covers.
The latest headings for the ribbons
CT underwear display the ribbons to
much greater advantage than those of
former vogue.
Drawers show a tendency toward
greater smoothness over the hip and
increased fullness above the knee.
Lace-trimmed ones are most popular.
Embroidery consisting of a mono
Eram, initials or fayorite flower enters
into the decorative scheme of the most
exclusive fashionable lingerie.
The Use of Powered ribbons is no.
tlceable upon negligees and lace tuck
ers (often drawn up in old-time FASH
ion by ribbon run through beading).
The new chemises show tendency
to much greater fullness in the middle
back, especially where they are in

underskirt. ,
French hand made garments
wrought of fine handkerchief linen and
ornamented with real lace and fine
hand embroidery are the most desira-
bic as we'll as the most expensive un-
dermuslins now la mode.
White ribbon is considered smarter
for underwear than colors. Pink and
blue come next in favor, and a few
lavender ribbon-run garments are
seen. Some extreme styles show the
use Of large ribbon bows of a much
wider width than is generally used On
corset covers.

mixture thickly between two or three
layers of light, delicate cake, and cover
the cake with soft icing, decorated
with tiny marshamllows.
An excellent white cake for this our.
pose is the following: Cream two CUBS

cup of butter. Add a cup of fresh
milk, and then stir the mixture into
a bowl containing three cups of flour,
which has been previously sifted, with
ba-f a teaspoonful of soda and one Of

even consistency, and then fold in the
whites of four absolutely fresh eggs.
The whites should be whipped to q
