CAMEL CARRIES A cIsTERN.

It's stomachs So Wonderfully Con-
structed They Store Up Water.
The stomach of camel is divided
into no less than four compartments,
and the walls of one of these are lin
ed with large cells, every one of
which can be opened and closed at
will by means of powerful muscles.
Now, when a camel drinks, it
drinks great deal. Indeed, it goes
drinking on for such a long time that
really you would think that it never
meant to leave off. But the fact is
that it is not only satisfying its
thirst. but is filing up its cistern as
well. One after another the cells in
it's stomach are filled with water, and
as soon as each is quite full it is
tightly closed.
Then when the animal becomes
thirsty, a few hours later. all that it
has to do is to oren one Of the cells
and allow the water to flow out. Next
day it opens one or two more cells,
and so it goes on day after day I'M
til the whole supply is exhausted. In
this curious way camel can live five
or even six days without drinking
at all. and so Is able to travel easily
through the desert, where the wells
are often hundreds of miles apart.

Trading off old Love Tokens.

A society man whose perfect dane
ing is the envy of all the men he
knows and the admiration of all the
women, stopped on Charles street the
other day to greet an acquaintance.
I'm amusing myself this morning
selling old jewelry," said the society
man.
"Old iewelry! Whose?" queried his
acquaintance.
why, the returned love tokens of
a lot of girls I know. Things they
have given men whom they adored
for a brief season and with whom
they exchanged gifts of jewelry,
which, like the cat, came back when
a GOODNESS ensued.
But the funniest part is their rea-
sons for parting with these souvenirs
of affection-they want the money to
buy mementos for other men who
have supplanted the first in their
changing affections. Hence my mis-
sion to the pawrshops and dealers in
old gold" He drifted away to seek
a sign of three balls, humming the
waltz that was played at the Spiel
gartenfest and jangling in his peck
cts the love tokens, some of which
were worn as pledges of never-dying
affection on that occaSion.-Baltimor

RIack Gown Ponular

a black gown has come to be a
necessity in every well-appointed out
fit There are always occasions when
brightly tinted clothes are inappropri-
ate, and there is, besides, always a
certain elegance about a well-made
and properly fitted black gown which
recommends it to the fastidious dress
er. With these desirable features
may be included the lact that black
is almost universally becoming to
women; some of the art critics in
dress, on the contrary, declare that it
ages woman, brings into prominence
every line and wrinkle. deadens the
complexion and is woefuIIy unbecom-
ing
The majority of women have found
these views decidedly fallaciOus, since
the black gown grows in popularity
from year to year and has come to be
considered the one dress which is
always proper. 1t is true that there
are some women to whom black is not
suited, but it is always possible to OBJ
viate the i'll effects by the liberal use
of white in the form of lace or chiffon
about the throat and wrists.

For the Lingerie Blouse.
tiny bows

The lingerie blouse bids fair to be
the feature of the year in point of
multiplicity of design and layishness
of handiwork. They are shown in all
grades OF materials, ranging from the
coarser thread linens to the most cob
webby The hand work on them may
include hemstitching and French
knots, of course, besides the English
eyeIet work, the Swiss embroidery,
feather stitching, and any and all of
the many sorts of fine sewing and en-
broidery.
One beautiful model is shown in a
fine quality of linen, with hemstitched
tucks and tiny fleur-de-lis embroidered
over it. The design is simple, but is
worked solidly with linen floss. Two
slips of light colored silk are fur
nished with this model and afford a
pleasing change. The rose silk slip is
especially effective when the blouse
is worn over it.
There have been marked changes in
all blouses recently. The pouch is
conspicuous by its absence and the
sleeves have very deep cuffs. with
much fullness between the shoulder
and the elbow.

Simple EVENING Frocks.

One OF the prettiest ideas that the
season shows in simple evening gowns
is the use of silk bands edging ruff
fies OF mousseline de sole, or the same
idea on other thin material. A girlish
frock is of white mousseline de sole,
mounted over pink silk. The skirt is
trimmed with f1ounces of wide valen-
ciennes, with the points falling into
a straight band of blue velvet. The
same idea with narrower lace and
bands makes a fichu arrangement,
and there is blue sash.
An equally simple frock is of white
crepe. with irregular lines of silver
running through the stuff. The cor
sage is cut in surplice fashion and
crosses with n line of blue velvet
bows The bottom of the skirt IS
trimmed with a flounce made of a
broad liberty ribbon, edged and
headed with a ruching of narrow vel
vet.
This use of liberty ribbon as trim
ming that is shirred and used as ruff
fies or shirred on both edges and used
as entredeux is an idea Just launched.
A beautiful evening coat is made Of
panels of Irish lace, with shirred en-
tredeux of wide liberty ribbon. AT the
bottom of the garment is band of
ermine
