found appropriate for all the suitings
Of the season, and also for the sep
arate wrap that is necessary, no mat
ter how many entire costumes one
may possess. For the dressier gar
ment broadcloth is perhaps the hand
somest of all materials, but for run
about suit mannish materials, chew
lots, homespuns and tweeds all are
greatly in vogue. Collar, cuffs and
pocket laps of velvet are well liked
this season, but are not obligatory,
and the material can be used if a
simpler effect is desired, and plain
cloth on mixed is always good style.
The coat is made with fronts, back,
side-backs and under-arm cores. its
many seams providing easy and salts
factory fit. The neck is finished with
the regulation collar and the deep
revers that mark the season, while
the sleeves are in coat style, finished
with becoming roll-over cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and five
eighth yards twenty-seven, two and
one-hale yards forty-four, or two and
one-fourth yards fifty-two inches
wide, with three-eighth yard velvet
and one-fourth yard of white cloth
for the banding.

the life raft with bench or seat,
which can be placed on the decks
for lounging purposes under ordinary
conditions, but which can readily be
rearranged into life raft in event of
an emergency. 1t is so constructed
that in appearance it will represent
two common deck seats, placed back
to back. The backs are hinged to the
seats of the benches, and the two
edges or the backs also being hinged
where they meet. Incased in the
framework of each of the seats are
alright compartments, by which the

Tucked Blouse With Yoke.

Every variation of the tucked
blouse finds it's place. 1t not alone
is a favorite for lingerie materials
and for the thin silks that are simi.
larly treated, but for all materials OF
sufficiently light weight to allow OF
tucking. This one includes a yoke
of unusual shape and can be treated
after number of ways. In the illus.
tration Persian lawn is combined
with yoke of inserted tucking and
trimming of embroidery and fancy
stitches. But there are great many
materials that can be used for con.
trasting yoke, the various all-overs
silk tucked and inserted and the one
from which the waist is made
trimmed in a number of ways, while
the band at the lower edge can with
propriety be either of lace or en-
broidery or in one of the fancy trim
mings or of the material embroid.

A Shortage of Gray Parrots.

We are told, but~all warnings do
not turn out true, that we may ex-
pect shortage" soon in the supply
of perhaps the most popular of all
our cage birds the gray parrot
which comes from the West Coast of
Africa. 1t is curious and at first
sight very paradoxical, but the reason
why we are likely to be short of par
rots is that the time of the voyage
from the West Coast to Liverpool or
Bristol has been SO greatly shortened.
The cause does not seem, in the alb
sence of explanation, to fit the effect,
but the actual explanation is simple:
it is that the parrots, coming from
much warmer climate than ours, ar
rived in the old days by slow and
gradual stages into the colder atmos-
phere; they had far more time to be-
come acclimatized. Now, with the
swift passage of modern steamers,
they are plunged from the hot into
the cold with all the swift shock of a
Turkish bath. The result is in a very
large majority of cases fatal.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Forgiveness.

Nothing is more moving to man
than the spectacle of reconciliation;
our weaknesses are thus indennifeS
and are not too costly-being the
price we pay for the hour of forgive
ness; and the archangel, who has new
er felt anger, has reason to envy the
man who subdues it. When thou for
givest-the man who has pierced thy
heart stands to thee in the relation
of the sea-worm that perforates the

There are said to be 100000
migratory sheep in Spain, which ira

They are known as transhumantes,

Tafreta Waists Popular.

Taffeta waists with white guimpe
bid fair to take the place, in large
measure, of white tailored waists
for morning and business wear.
Though nothing can be more taste
full than white, this fashion would
prove saving in the matter of laun-
dry bills, while the guimpe provides
the becoming touch of white that we
have come to look upon as essential.

Silence fell upon the group The stranger bent
down and made quick examination with gentle
and a thrill of relief ran through the crowd
A policeman illuminated the group with his Ian

the unconscious boy and then upon that of Colonel
