ajrl's Russian Blouse Suit.

There is no dress that more per-
fectly suits the needs of the school
girl than the one made with the Rus
sian blouse. 1t is exceedingly stylish
in effect, it is very generally becom-
ing, at the same time it allows per-
fectly free movements and is simple
as all girls dresses should be. This
one includes some novel features and
is trimmed with banding at the edge
of the front as we'll as on the sleeves.
In this instance royal blue serge is
trimmed with a pretty banding and
collar and cuffs of white, but while
blue is well liked it is not obligatory
and other plain colors and checks
will be greatly used throughout the
coming season.
The suit consists of the skirt, the
body lining and the blouse. The
body lining is smoothly fitted and the
straight skirt is gathered and joined
thereto The blouse is entirely sep.
arate and consists of fronts and back.
It is closed at the left side and is
finished with hem on the lower
edge, in which is inserted elastic that
regulates the size. The sleeves are

New Work For Girls.

Strenuous girls are finding a new
and lucrative profession in teaching
their own sex games and physical ex-
ercises in schools.
At st. Brides Institute there is a
prosperous school, with four or five
teachers, where girls are given two
years training in the work, and from
it they go forth to earn from $500 to
$1,000 per annum. Thirty girls are
at present going through the course.
More than twenty of their predeces-
sors now certifcated are at work, for
there is a steady demand for these
young women.
This training is no child's play. A
girl who enters for the course has
to be at work either in study of gym
nasium for five hours every day of
the term. Sixteen is the minimum
age for entry, but most of the girls
are eighteen when they start. There
are also games to be learned
cricket, hockey, and basketball.
Swimming and rescue work are
taught.-London Daily Mail.

The reported determination of the
Car to abdicate recalls the fact that
since 1913, when the Romanoffs be-
came the royal house of Russia, there
have been eighteen Cars. OF these
eighteen Romanoffs, one (Ivan) was
an idiot, three have been murdered
by their relatives (not including
Alexis, son of Peter the Great, poi
soned by his father), one was assas-
sinated by his subjects, twelve have
died more or less natural deaths,
while the present Gar, Nicholas H.,
makes the eighteenth and his fate
history has still to determine.-Pall

in the larger, and it will be higher
at the sides of the tubes than in the
middle. This is due to the pressure
of the air on the surface of the water,
and to what is known as capillary at
traction, this last causing the water
to rise in the sides of the tube.
Now thrust the tubes into mercury,
and an exactly opposite effect will be
produced, as shown in the darker
picture, for the mercury will have a
lower level inside the tubes than out
side, and as it has a tendency to slip
away from the glass surface rather
than to cling to it there is no capil-
larry attraction, and 1t falls downward
at the sides and curves upward in
the centre. Besides, it will rise high
er in the larger tubes than in the
smaller ones.
A similar experiment may be made
with two fiat pieces of glass, placed
together like wedge, and held so
by broad rubber band, a piece of
wood being placed at the top and the
bottom of the open part, as shown
in the illustration.
Now dip this wedge into water,
and you will find that the water will
rise higher where the pieces of glass
come together than at the open part,
thus making a curved surface. Dip
1t into mercury and the curve will be
reversed, the mercury having a lower
level where the pieces of glass come
together.-New York Mail.

Pearls Are All The Rage.

The brilliant diamond has had it's
day. The modest, taerful pearl is in
the ascendency at Newport, and all
because Mr.. Leeds bought Mrs. Leeds
a pearl necklace while they were
abroad. Uncle Sam, upon seeing the
same, threw up his hands at the
Custom House and demanded $780,
600. Now all Newport is wild to
see the pearls, which are safely
guarded in the big burglar-proof
safe at the Leeds cottage. The neck
lace is more than passing fair. Never
we're pearls of Cleopatra more per-
fectly matched. The arrangement is
Oriental, consisting of so pearls
ranging in size from rs to 40 grains,
the average being 32-all fiawless,
white spheres and perfectly gradual
ed. No one is allowed to see these
Oriental beauties without a written
or verbal order from Mrs. Leeds her
self. She does not believe in "cast-
ing her pearls before swine. New

When this state is reached, to re-

tired horse with big load. Every
additional effort he makes under the
lash increases his loss of power to
move the load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestible food
and take on Grape Nuts-light, easily
di tested, full of strength for nerves

Gibson's Definition OF Lady"

II dined with Charles Dana Gibson
at Princess restaurant in London
during the season." said Chicagoan.
"The lofty, spacious dining room
was filled with women in pale gowns,
their hair uncovered and their arms
and necks bare, and though these
women were fashionable, aristocratic,
they smoked cigarettes with their
coffee as they watched the biscope
pictures that went on at one end Of
the big room, and as they listened to
the singing that went on at the other.
amid all this feminine smoking
we Americans began to discuss and
to define the word lady Was it
ladylike to smoke? we asked. Would
lady ever smoke? What was a
lady?
81 think Mr.. Gibson's definition Of
lady was the best that was given.
"A lady, he said, ignoring the
smoke question altogether, is wom-
an who always remembers others and
never forgets herself '-Philadel-

Chasing hogs is exceedingly anus

able to polite society. The hog is an
elusive beast. Being round and fat
and also slippery - the chaser is

obtain firm hold. This is true with
but one exception, and that is his
tail. But here again the chaser Is
handicapped. Hogs tails are so lit

folk are severing from their early

"Sam" Lewis Savings.

Sam" Lewis, the famous London
money-lender, used to speak jocu-
larly of himself as lending to the
Lords and giving to the poor. The
death of his widow releases for chart
table purposes the large fortune
which he accumulated by shaving
the notes of England's noble spend
thrifts. 1t was business from which
he derived more profit than praise
during his lifetime.
The world generally looks with
disfavor on its Lswises, yet in this
one case the usurer, whatever his
gains and his victims losses. per-
forms a great public service. If the
end justified the means. he would
need no other excuse, although his
practices were sharp and his terms
cruel.
Many of our American philanthro-
pists seek responsibility and easy
conscience in the same way. Posi-
bly, it helped in Lewis mind to rea-
son that If it stripped the profiigate
and inefficient sons of titled fathers
the really needy would benefit from
money which would otherwise never
reach them.-New York World.
