In Pale GRAY Et.mIne.

Among the pretty and dainty ideas
which amateur dressmakers can uti-
lie is shirtwaist suit of pale gray
etamine. The skirt may be plated
all around, a plait coming down each
seam and one in the middle of each
gore. The middle of the front gore
may be left plain and embroidered in
the Hardanger work which came from
abroad last summer The stitching
is done in white linen floss, and thus
offers pleasing contrast to the ma
terial. The strap under which the
waist buttons in front. the cuffs, and

same embroidery. Besides this fancy
collar there can be two Others that are
less elaborate and some white linen
letamine ones which wash to look like
new and wear extremely well.

From Dead POmpeii

Especial Correspondence.)

The traveller who has gone over the
world and made acquaintance with
many men and with cities, like to
the wise wanderer of old Greece, and
who has become familiar with grand
landscapes and high mountains and
famous rivers, will probably acknow-
ledge that his first visit to the dead
city OF Pompeii has given him
unique and never-to-be-forgotten ex-
perience. To wander in the desolate
streets OF that disturbed little city,
between ruined walls that are as the
skeletons of houses, to note through
out the whole city hints and sugges-
tions OF a vigorous and many-sided
life, is to pass in review whole past
history, and to be placed before prob
lens of profound interest.
