In SiIk-Warp Henrietta.

All of the soft shades of green are
exceptionally fashionable in this very
modish material, and a charmingly
original design is thus pictured: The
bodice follows the smart draped lines
over a fitted doublure, the neck cut
out in fancy shape and filed in with
a lingerie chemisette, and the sleeve
offers bewitching novelty in the
slashed puff that reveals the under
sleeve of white chiffon, the same
forming a draped puff below the ell
bow. The skirt is plated over the
hips, a fancy yoke empiecement seem
ing to hold it to the figure, and a fes-
tooned flounce is applied above the
hair-cloth stiffened hem

Old Bowman House. Lexington.


according to the historical records,
the first house was built in the vicin-
ity of Vine brook, near the site of the
present town hall. Since 1900 the
Bowman house had been the oldest in
Lexington Good authorities, how
ever, say that many points in the con-
struction of the Bowman house make
it doubtful if so well built a house
OF that style could have been con-
structed within seven years of the
first settlement. AS the Bowman
house was nearly three miles from
the Lexington town hall, that, too,
makes it seem doubtful that the date
Of its construction was as early as is
claimed.
There are now three houses stand
ing in Lexington which were built
previous to 100: Buckman Tavern,
built in 1890; the Munroe Tavern,
built in 1896, and the Hancock house,
built in 1898.

Candle Shot Through Board.

Concerning the shooting of a can
die through a board, correspondent
writes: I'VE selected a weather
beaten pine-fence board as a target,
and loaded the gun with three drains
of black powder, followed by an or
binary 1stearine' candle, which fitted
tightly. The candle passed through,
making a clear-cut hole, and buried
itself in the sand back of the target
The candle, while somewhat torn,

PIaitinQS.

PlaitingS are set into the lower
parts of street skirts in many at
tractive ways, but almost always
there is the smooth fitted hip. Skirts
laid in plaits and stitched round the
hips but falling full below that point
continue to be popular. The plain
killed skirt is not deemed as modish
as the skirt plated in groups or in
alternating side plaits and groups of
side plaits- These skirts have the ad-
vantage of being more easily fitted
than the old-fashioned killed skirts.
