Germans are Investigators. A Ger man publicist who spent part of the summer in a boarding house at Teign- mouth, England, says: English sea- side visitors display most remarkable ingenuity in sustaining a lengthy con- versation founded on no other topic than the weather When this is ex- hausted they turn to their aches and pains.

Fashions In New York.

The new waist admits of an end
less variety of trimming, but no
amount of ornament can conceal a
single false line. The lining must
be correctly cut and boned and fitted
to perfection. The material may be
put on either severely plain or softly
draped. The simple surplice effects
adapt themselves readily to the 1905
bodice, and by studied draping they
can be made becoming to the full
figure as well as to the slender one.
Sleeves continue full at the top.
The shirring down the centre or
along the inner seam is varied by
gathering, cording or shocking or
by the newest device to secure the
butterfly effect. This is series of
little tucks two inches long, and
taken crosswise in the centre of the
upper sleeve, much like the rungs
OF ladder. Ruff1es and puffs OF
lingerie, falling over the lower arm,
add q graceful flush.
Very dainty and pretty are the
little fuckers and chemisettes worn
With the open throated surplice and
draped bodice.
The demand for graceful spring
at the hip line has revived the cir
cular and umbrella skirts, modified
to meet the present fashion for ex-
aggerated fulness about the feet.
Most of them are plain at the top,

In front and above the hips are used
for thin women.

tely celebrated at the public school
taught by Miss Alma Wathen, Pa

an excellent program. The essays
showed careful thought and pre-

and the Stars aud Stripes lent their
patriotic significance to the scene.
Much credit is due the teacher for
her efforts to make the afternoon
one of instruction and interest for
pupils and visitors.
