THE EMPIRE cHEMiSE.
This Garment Hack Again in Favor
and Shown in Large Variety
Of Patterns.

The vogue of empire chemises brings
many charming patterns to light,
many of them as simple as they are
charming, says writer in the Chi
cago Tribune.
The little empire chemise of Older
times, with it's guimpses of lace and
linon embroidery and mousseline dc
sole or tulle accessories, with elabo-
rate epaulets and befrilled sleeves, was
bothersome to tuck into the corset.
at it's best creating an ungraceful and
unwelcome thickness.
To-day these pretty, yet clumsy,
creations have evolved into soft,
adaptable models, which make them
popular for1he ball toilet and~for the
demi-decollesasss and other effects, worn
at the concert, theater and at dinner.
The shoulder pieces are nearly all
detachable, so that they can be re-
jected when need be. They consist
OF ribbon, which passes through the
edging and is knotted in the shoulder,
or lace insertion bOrdered with en-
broidery or lace. Some laces are put
in plain, others: like the valencennes,
are applied in dainty flower effect.
The body of the chemise takes on
two forms. The one is perfectly
straight, the other is curved slightly
to the figure beneath the arm. In
the latter case the garniture encircles
the arm hole and the shoulder pieces
are made larger and shorter These
chemises are higher than the Others

the same material; sometimes inser-
tons or motifs of lace are used as in
crustations sometimes insertions are
gathered on large bands.
The empire designs shown present
different models, which can be varied
with ease. In the first broad valen-
ciennes insertion is separated by a
band of linon Of the same breadth
A second band, ornamented in the CEN
ter with fancy stitching. supports the
lace which runs around the top of the
garment.
The shoulder pieces are made with
a band of linon. edged with lace If
the trimming is to be simplified use
just one band of insertion. 1t would
he attractive to dispose a band OF
wheels and loZenges alternated in lace
or guipure. The shoulder pieces are
attached with fairy invisibility to the
casual observer
A second garnitures is easily man
aged. 1t consists Of four rows of val
cnciennes insertion. separated by mar
row fancy tape, which consolidates
them. 1t would be equally pretty to
replace the second and fourth row by
some dainty bow of embroidery or by
bands of linon, whose sheer plain
ness would contrast effectively with
the transparent lace.
Far more elegant than this is the
chemise which shows a handsome en-
broidered edge, cut by little apertures
through which is threaded a ribbon.
Five tucks ingeniously conceal the
fastening Of the trimming to the
chemise. 1t is done by invisible
stitching under the last tuck. A fancy
braid with square figures borders the
lace insertion which forms the center
of the shoulder pieces, and also encir-
cles the chemise below the tucks
Deep light lace is placed above the en-
broidered edge of the decollete and
again around the shoulder pieces. II

that God only helps those who help

HOSPITAL FIRE FIGHTERS
APPARATUS FOR THE INSTITU.
TION is NOW ALL HERE.
WILL FORM a HOSE COMPANY
With a New Stand Pipe, Deep Wells
Hydrants About the Premises and a
Fire Company, the Hospital IS Fair
Iy Safe From Fire.

~ OdIC
The hose cart ordered some time
ago for the Norfolk hospital for the
insane has arrived. The fire fighting
apparatus of the institution, including
500 feet of standard hose, is now all
here, and company of fire fighters
will be formed at once among the EN-.
ployes of the hospital. 1t is the in
tention to organize along the lines Of
a city company, and it is probable that
the boys who compose it will decide
to Join the Norfolk department. This
would give them representation in the
state association, including delegates
to the tournaments and association
meetings, which are advantages worth
considering. Regular practice drills
will be indulged in, and in a short
time the state property will be as
amply protected from fire as though
inside the city limits. At the time the
hospital burned three years ago last
September there was absolutely moth
ing in the way of fire protection about
the place, and although the Norfolk
fire department turned out in force 70
try to help, they were pOwerless be-
cause of lack of water.
At that time a stand pipe had been
planned, some of the material even
then being on the ground. This has
since been completed, new wells sunk
hydrants put in about the premises,
and every facility provided to pre-
vent another catastrophy like the one
before. Now the hospital company
will be able to handle anything in the
way of small fire, but should a con.
1agration get beyond their control the
city companies can go to their assist
ance and be of material help. because
the hydrants about the grounds have
the same hose connections as those
down town.
The provision for a local fire com
pany and apparatus is one of the wis
est things done by the state board of
public lands and buildings. in its
equipment Of the plant, and forever
does away with the possibility Of an.
