Fancy Blouse Waist.

Whatever feature the new, up-to.
date waist may include, the one all.
essential one is some arrangement OF
trimming whereby the seams that
join the sleeves to the blouse are con.
cealed. Here is distinctly new
model that is both simple and effec-
tive, and which is trimmed to bring
about this desirable result, while the
shoulder line is by no means over
broad, and it consequently is becom-
ing to almost all figures. In the IL
lustration 1t is made of crepe de
Chine in a new lovely grey-green
with trimming of velvet in a darker
shade and of soutache braid and rib
bon frills, while the yoke is of ecru
lace. The combination Of several
materials on single garment, as
well as the color, mark the very
latest style, and the blouse Is alto
gether one much to be commended.
1t can be utilized both for the entire
gown and for the separate waist, and
is really appropriate for every fash
ionable material of indoor wear, in
asmuch as all are soft and can be
made full with success. Trimming
of various sorts can be substituted
for the velvet and soutache. The
shoulder portions, for example, could
be made of Oriental embroidery or
of bands of embroidery held by mar
row straps of velvet ribbon, or they
could be of some contrasting ma
terial embroidered, while the frills
can be of ribbon, as in this instance,
of silk, of lace, or of the material.
The blouse is made with a fitted

The modified mushroom shape is to

Every woman who keeps quite up

The trimming of the moment for a
purple hat is vast quantity of con-

Some of the newest sleeves are made
with bewitching little puffs above the
elbows and cuffs fastening just below.
So far, full length, elbow length
and three-quarter length ones are seen
in everything from dressy tailormades
to evening gowns.
The only new thing in that line, is
called the "Valois." 1t has a rather

Working Her Way.

Undoubtedly it is possible for
girl to work her way through college,"
writes Margaret E. Sangster in the
"Womans Home Companion" 'if she
have exceptional brain power, excep-
tional pluck and exceutional health.
To accomplish this difficult task with
out pecuniary aid from relatives or
friends is very formidable under
taking, and it is hardly wise to at
tempt it unless one is sure of having
the requisite physical capital and of
being able to stand the strain of a
long, hard and wearisome pull. Girls
have done this, girls are doing it now,
and girls will continue to do it, but
the race is incumbered by heavy
weights, and the rowing is upstream.
''In college there are many openings
for earning money, and it may be re-
marked that nobody loses caste or is
treated with condescension because
she is frankly poor. A girl with a
knack for sewing may use her needle
and receive pay from students who do
not wish to sew or mend. She may
make shirtwaists, trim hats, mend
stockings, sew on buttons, repair skirts
and do number of useful things that
will help her along.

Harold's Surprise.

Harold was always fond of paying
a visit to Aunt Minnie, for he was
kept busy from morning to night.
There were the chickens to feed and
the flowers to sprinkle and the daily
vegetables to help gather in the big
garden, then he went into the stable
to help John with the horses, always
shed, and would sit quietly watching
Susan at her milking, sure of nice
fresh glassful But most of all he
enjoyed hunting for the eggs each
day, when Aunt Minnie gave him the
little covered basket and told him to
see how many he could bring her.
Eggs were great mystery to Har-
old. He could never understand how
whole chicken could come out OF
one of them, and each day he turned
it over and over in his mind and on
one occasion nearly had his eyes put
out by an irate setting hen, whom he
tried to scare off her nest SO he could
see how it was done.
One night after Harold had gone to
bed there was great commotion in
the cow shed, for a dear little calf
was born, and Aunt Minnie and uncle
were very much excited over the new
baby.
Dear little fellow. 1t is too cold
for him in this place." said Aunt Min
ME. II think I'll put him in the hen
house to keep warm. Won't Harold
be delighted to see him!"
AS Harold opened the hen house
door next day he was startled by a
plaintive ma-a from straw filled
corner, and the great brown eyes OF
the new baby" looked straight into
his startled ones. He looked again
and his brain worked quickly. With
wild whoop he dropped his basket,
which was luckily empty, and the
hens clucked angrily as he rushed
away.
Aunt Minnie, Aunt Minnie!" he
called, breaking into the sewing room.
How many eggs does it take to
hatch out a calf? There's one in the
hen house as big as life
Aunt Minnie put down her sewing
and shook with laughter; but al
though she explained how it all came
about, Harold had his own private
opinion on the subject.-Washingta

Australia's Niqhtinqale.

A writer ecently gave an interesting
and amusing sketch of Nine. Melba,
the celebrated prima donna. Miss
Nellie Mitchell, by which name she
: was known as school girl, was re-
garded as wonderful whistler"
while her vocal powers were consid-
cred of very ordinary variety. These
soon developed, however. On coming
to Europe she became pupil of Nine.
Marchesi, the well known teacher of
music.
Her introduction to the English pub
lie was due to the late Sir Augustus
Harris. The latter, who knew little of
music, trusted to his friends for ad-
vice, and one day he asked Nine.
Bauermeister to come and give her
opinion of a singer whom he was
thinking of engaging. Nine. Melba ap-
peared, and sang an air.
'Do you think she will do?" asked
Harris, anxiously.
"Do?" cried Nine. Bauermeister.
"Why, she has gold In her voice, and
will put gold in your pocket"
When Nine. Melba made her trium-
,phant return to Australia few years
ago she was received with boundless
enthusiasm, and when recalled for
singing classical selection suddenly

one in the gallery shouting, familiar

The Busy Bees.


Dame Nature has so much to at.
tend to on this great earth of ours
that is she didn't put some of her
children to sleep there would be no
getting on with such big family.
Winter Is a great cleaning time for
the dear old lady; she sends the birds
south, while she covers the north
with coating of snow and ice which
makes nice counterpanes for the
flowers, and they nestle under the
warm brown sod and grow silently un-
til they are ready to peep above the
ground. Then 1t is springtlme. Dame
Nature has shaken her duster and
the sleepy ones begin to rouse up. It
is then, when fragrance fills the air,
that the bees begin to hum softly In
their hives, where they have been
working in doing way through the
winter, clinging together in great
heavy clusters. Now that the flow
ers have come the bees are eager to
be out in the air, working to store up
honey, for 1t is their life to work, and
they have only short time-from
April to September.
II you are ever fortunate enough to
look through glass or observation
hive and begin to know something
about the bees. you will find it very
Interesting. All you see at first Is
mass of little reddish groups that
look like coffee berries or lunches of
raisins, piled against the glass and
they move slowly, quite unlike the
quick, darting creatures flashing and
sparkling in the sunlight among the
flowers; this is when they are busy
making wax with which to build the
storehouses for their honey.
They really lead a wonderful life:
the hive is royal palace, in which
the queen is ruler and the thousands
of subjects who cluster around her
have their various duties. 1t Is the
females who are forever busy-the
males are the drones- and after the
queen has selected her husband from
among them, the rest are killed, be-
cause they are useless, and even the
bridegroom perhaps on his wedding
day; indeed, the drones are only al
lowed to live at all that each new
queen may have choice of her hus-
bands.
The drones are handsomer than the
hard-working lady bees, but there is
no ambition among them; they sit
and eat the precious stores of honey
and are quite willing to let the women
folk do all the work-make the wax
cells for the palace. gather the honey,
store it, guard the queen ndroyal
family and keep every place in order.
There are certain rules and laws laid
down for the little community by
which they are governed, and they
work from hour to hour. from day to
day, as long as they live, with no
hope Of reward-a fitting example to
many boys and girls,-Washington

How a Prisoner Was Rescued.

In the battle Of Poitiers (1356) a
number of Scottish soldiers fought on
the side Of the French, and several of
them were taken prisoners by the
English. Among them was Sir Archi-
bald Douglas, half-brother of Lord
William Douglas. Being dressed in
suit Of splendid armor the victors
thought they had captured-as indeed
they had-some great nobleman.
Several of the English were about to
strip off his armor when Sir William
Ramsay, of Colluthie, who was also a
prisoner, happening to catch Sir Arch
ibald's eye gave him a meaning look.
Pretending to be very angry he cried
out: you rascal, how is 1t that you
are wearing your masters armor?
Come here and pull off my boots!"
Douglas, seemingly thoroughly cowed,
went humbly forward and drew off a
boot, with which Sir William began
to beat him. The English onlookers
at once interfered on Douglas behalf,
saying that he was person of great
rank and a lord. what" shouted
Ramsay, shaking with laughter. "he
lord? Why, he is a base knave,
and l suppose, has slain his master.
Go, you villain, and search the field
for the body of my cousin, your mas
ter, and when you have found 1t let
me know, that l may give 1t decent
burial" says Woman's Life. All this
was acted so naturally that the
English allowed Ramsay to ransom
the pretended man-seryaht for forty
shillings. The money having been
paid, Sir William gave Douglas an
