deep fitted girdle most effectively, and
the elbow sleeves with their wide frills

There.is a peculiar charm found in
the simple blouse shirred to form a
yoke that renders it a deserved and
certain favorite. This one is graceful
in the extreme and can be made high
at the neck with long sleeves or low
with sleeves of elbow length, so becom-
ing practically two models. All really
fashionable materials are soft and well
adapted to the shirrings and conse-
quently the opportunity for making a
satisfactory choice is ample. Dotted
crepe de Chine with lace over chiffon
is the combination illustrated, and very
charming it is, but there are many
other silks equally desirable, and the
pretty voiles and eOliennes are always
attractive so treated while for evening
wear howered organdies and nets, chif-
fon and the like are in the height of
style.
The waist Is made over fitted foun-
dation, which serves to keep the shir-
rings firmly i'll place, and when made
OF transparent material requires an
interlining of chiffon cut exactly like
the outside below the shirrings, this
interlning giving a peculiarly soft and
delightful effect. The sleeves are
shirred to form three puffs when long,
two pufrs and the frill when in elbow

The LIGHT BRIGADE.

That the charge of the Light Brigade
seemed to onlookers a piece of mag
nificent folly is evident from all remin-
iscences of that day. First came the
attack of the Heavy Brigade upon
three thousand Russian cavalry. Then,
later in the day, the attempt to re-
capture seven guns taken from the
Turks by the Russians in their first
advance upon the redoubts led to the
charge Of the Light Brigade.

we said. We never dreamed they
would charge"
Ivan Ivanovitch, Russian survivor
Of the day. says in his "Recollections:"
I'VE were so sorry for them. They
were fine soldiers, and had such fine
horses. But the charge-it was the
maddest thing ever done. We could
not understand it. I had been in the
charge by the Heavy Brigade in the
morning and was wounded. We had
all unsaddled and We're tired. Sud-
| denly there was cry, The English
| are coming!
"0ur colonel was angry, and ordered
the men to give no quarter.
II was lying down with my wound
! bandaged when l saw them coming.
We thought they were drunk, from the
way they held their lanccs. Instead
Of carrying them under their armpts
they waved them in the air. OF
course, they were easier to guard
against like that.
"Those men were mad, and never
seemed to think of the tremendous
numbers against them. nor of the fear
full slaughter that had taken place in
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they neared us. and dashed in
amongst us, shouting, cheering and
cursing. i never saw anything like 1t.

CARPET IN SUPERB DESIGNS

Colonial danes, the genuine article
Of colonial days. fine ladies and good
housewives of old would be amazed at
the vogue Of the rag carpet Of to-day,
which was never before considered so
distinctly smart as now. The rag car
pet helps to furnish summer bunga-
lows, mountain camps and seaside cot
tages, says the New York Sun. 1t is
made into large rugs for entire floors
and into smaller ones to go over pol
ished wood or filling. 1t is to be found
by the yard in various widths.
Rag carpet, to be sure, goes by q
different name these days than former.
ly, but as a "rag-style" carpet it is
still hit or miss and as much of mys
terry as in its early days. 1t is more
often now, however, made up with an
idea of the effect, and different mate
rials are used to produce the desired
result. A charming rug is made of
outing and canton flannels. Tie warp
of the rug is white, while the woof is
of the outing flannel colors. The tones
are a soft pink or pale green, with the
white canton flannel woven in for &
velvety border at each end. One must
see to appreciate the beauty Of white
canton flannel rag carpet.
There is the ordinary rag carpet
made of simple materials and in one or
two or many colors, and the more eiab'
crate one made of fine materials. Into
the latter go velvet, silk damasks,
tapestries and woods. Cretonnes are
woven into others, combined with a
plain warp. A rag-style rug which is
charming is woven Of Singapore lat
tice.

FOR SETTEE AND HAMMOCK.

Ideal for porch settee or hammock,
or, indeed, for the furnishing of sum-

TO be noted among housefurnlshing
goods. These pillows are woven of
gayly-colored grasses, in plaids of red
and green. and in the natural color,
and their filling is also of sweet clean
grass. so that there is nothing dusty or
Objectionable anywhere about them.
II they are caught in. a shower it
won't hurt them, and when they get

They are wonderfully attractive, not
quite so soft as down, but very COM

CHOICE OF EMBRoIDERIEs.


With all the exquisite embroideries
that have already appeared, and those
that are bobbing out by hundreds each
day, it's hard for the most practical
woman out not to lose her head over
them and buy them from their beauty
points alone, says the Washington
Times.
There are definite points to consider
about every sort of embroidery before
getting ii. Those sheer, beautiful bits
that look almost like handwork are
oil very well in their way. but most
Of them are impossible Tor should be)
for anything that will get hard wear.
Yet there are some of these sheer EN-
broideres that are made with every
thread doubly protected, so that the
ugly, thick kinds can be occasionally
thrust aside. even for the sturdier sort
OF things.
Since those wonderful machines were
invented. common sense and beauty
have seemed, in measure, to join
forces.
In choosing embroideries, look first
at the material: some of the sheerest
are less flimsy than the apparently
sturdy. Lcok next ut the edge: If the
stitching is too shallow, it's likely to
pull out soon. If the scallop is in deep
points, it's bound to curl up at the first
wearing.

BEsIEGED BY PANTHERs.

BES1EGED BY PANTHERS.
Wild animals do not usually attack
men without provocatlon' unless driven
to do so by hunger. 1t is probable,
therefore, that the four mountain-lions
which beslegedt Mr.. ]. Ii. Camp for
four days and nights in a cabin in
the upper SAM Gabriel country, Cali
fOrnia, were starving. 1t was terri
flying experience, as the San Francisco
Examiner tells it, for Camps only COM
panion in misery was burro, and his
means of defense revolver and lin
tied quantity of ammunition.
Camp had gone to the mountain
cabin to prepare it for the reception of
several hunters, and during his stay
alone had heard the cry of wildcats
and the screech of panthers. He had
not seen any of the animals until one
day when he was cutting away some
brush on the trail near the cabir he
heard a twig snap in front of him.
Looking up, he beheld huge lion right
in the centre of the trail, switching its
tail menaclngly. Camp was filled with
terror. but instinctively his hand sought
his hip pocket, in which reposed his
revolver.
AS he drew it another lion walked
out Of the brush. and behind it were
two smaller ones, probably cubs.
Blazing wildly away with the revol.
yer, Camp created momentary diver
sion that allowed him to reach his
cabin. Rushing inside, he barred the
door and reloaded his revolver, deter
mined to frighten away the brutes ID
possible. AS he looked out he saw his
burro snorting and tugglng at his
tether one of the tawny brutes having
already begun to creep up on him. With
plunge the burro broke loose and
rushed for shelter, with the lion after
him. Camp opened the door just long
enough to admit the frightened burro,
which shot in as If launched from q
catapult.
Throwing his weight against the
door Camp barred it again. He had
plenty of provisions, and decided to
remain quiet for time, hoping that
lut lIDHS NOblu 50 away
that they are usually cowardly brutes,
he was at a loss to account for their
daring action except on the theory that
it might be a pail with their cubs. He
made the burro comfortable, and was
glad of his company, and then took
look to see if the lions were still there.
They were watching. All day Sunday
at least one was in sight, and Camp
decided to lie low. On the next day
and the next conditions were the same.
On the fourth morning Camp eau
tiously peered out. The lions were not
in sight He hurredly saddled the
burro, mounted, and turned the little
beast toward civilization. The burro
needed no urging, and Camp was con-
graduating himself on his escape when
piercing screech came from the trail
behind. The lions had discovered his
departure, and were in pursuit.
There was only one thing to do-beat
the lions to civilization. Camp accepted
the terms. SO did the terrified little
bnrro, which fol once, at least, gal
oped like a race horse. Never was
the descent to Lordsburg made in such
time, and when Camp and his burro
reached the town both were exhausted,
the one from fright, the other from the
| hard ride.
