In a certain school district one of
the trustees was crank on the subject
of fire, and when he visited q school
with the examining inspectors he al
ways confined his remarks to a ques-
ton addressed to the pupils as to what
they would do in case the building
caught fire. knowing this little pecu-
liarity the master had coached his pu-
pills as to the answer hich they should
give. When the visitor called, how
ever, he simply said to them: You
boys and girls have listened so atten-
lively to your masters remarks that l
wonder what you would do If l were to

Yoke and Bodice Girdles.

The tiny coats that have become
so popular and tie very general adop-
ton Of the short wasted effect have
combined to make girdles essential
features Of the wardrobe. Here are 4
number of attractive and shapely de-
signs that can be utilized either for
the separate belts OF for those that are
made of material to match the cos
tune. As shown the plain ones are
simply finished with stitching, but
they can be trimmed with braid or
with embroidery or elaborated in
almost any manner that may be liked.
In this instance Nos. and 2 are made
Of heavy linen. No. 3 is made of silk
and No. 4 from messalne satin.
No. 1 is cut in eight sections, which
are joined at the edges, the seams
being stitched with belding silk, and
is closed at the centre front. No. 2
is extended to a point below the waist
but forms a round outline above and
is made in six sections, the seams over
the hips being so curved as to pro-
vide perfect fit. No. 3 is differently
shaped from either of its predecessors
and can be opened at either front or
back while it can be made with or
without points. 1t consists of ten por-
tions and each seam is boned to keep
the shape. No. is made over No. 2,
which is used as foundation, and
is softly shirred and draped. the clos
ing being made invisibly at the front.
Any one of the plain girdles can be
cut off at the waist line if the yoke
portion is not desired.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for either Nos.

Tailor-Mad Gowns.

The season is far enough advanced
to enable one to speculate with de-

fashion is to be. One may even order
tailor gowns. Serge, cloth or the very

for materials. Mixed cheviots and
twecds. checks and plaids. will he used

and jacket worn with a washable
blouse will far outrival all other styles.
Only there is a wider choice in Jackets
this spring than usual. The .aunty

vance styles show long Directoire

One Of the most striking innovations
this season is highcrown sailor hat.
This hat has four-inch crown and q
two-and-a-half-inch brim, and is shown
at present in Manilas and Javas. al
though it will probably be made in
other straws later on. \ very singular
hat, made in light fancy chip, has
four-inch crown slightly tapering
toward the top, and a brim four inches
wide at the front. graduating to two
and Il half inches at the back. These
are trimmed either with plain bands
or with new fancy ring and spot
stuff.
Millincrs are also showing a novelty
in Panamas, blocked up into various
shapes, and trimmed with scarf.
