No 1904. Misses yoke waist, with
long or three-quarter length sleeves.
Plaid silk and all-over lace are attrac-
lively combined in this smart looking
waist, and plain silk is used for the trim
ming bands or straps following the
edges of the pointed yoke and the wrists
of the sleeves. The straps, which are
crossed on the shoulders at the front
and back and on the sleeves, are a
charming feature o, the waist, giving a
decidedly chic effect. Usually waits Of
this style match the skirt, but they are
also properly worn with skirts OF diff
ferent material
The pattern is in three sizes, thirteen
to seventeen years For miss of fifteen
years the waist will need three yards
of material twenty inches wide, or one
and three-quarters yard thirty-six inches
wide, or one and one-h"lf yard forty
two inches wide AS illustrated, five
eighths yard of plain material twenty
inches wide and fve-eighths yard of all
over lace eighteen inches wide are
needed. Price of pattern, 70 cents.

matter of yokes, which are cut in all
manner of sectional devices, arabesque
and geometrical Both yokes and sleeves
are so divided up into variously shaped
parts and pieces and the whole so COW
cred UP with fanciful ornamentation,
that one can use the smallest bits OF
the material to piece out these ornate
designs if the Jennings are covered with
medallions or other trimming so dis
posed as to form an artistic design.
The favorite method of bodice trim
ming at the moment consists of three
to five bands of black or self-colored
velvet ribbon i'll graduated widths across
the blouse portion, above this the blouse,
which is not cut SO full as formerly, is
gathered with several rows of shirring
to the lower edge of rounding yoke,
which has a U-shaped dip at center
front. This yoke can be made OF tucked
chiffon, with tucks placed either length
wise or crossWise, or it may be of all
over Valenciennes or a pretty baby Irish
lace, or with the side portions and back
of tucks, and the center from the neck
beginning at the point os the shoulder
seam and extending to the edge of the
U-shaped curve, may be of lace; or the
U-shaped portion be covered with
large round, oval or crescent laped me-
dalton of heavy lace or silk embroid-
cred chiffon. The entire yoke may be
outlined with crescent or other shaped
medallions that lend themselves grace
fully to the design.
Many a home dr.. 81 aker who is
fussing over the refurbishing of dressy
waist would draw a lone sigh of relief
if she could see the r .tu, g Of SEEM
ingly incongruous materials End orna-
mentation which the expensive waists
displayed in Fifth Avenue shop ",.l-
dows show. Indeed, one sees as many
as six kinds of lace nd embroider. on
a single bodice, and not infrequently the
very richest single flower motifs in
handmade lace are posed in high relief
upon a background of all-over Valen-
ciennes.
The clever woman who makes it a
point to look for and pick up bargains
in laces, medallicns and trimmings
whenever she gets a chance to do such
shopping, is never at a loss for deco
rative material that will change the en-
tire effect of bodice that has grown
| passe. 1t must not be forgotten that the
! collar, the cuff part or band of the
sleeve, and some portion of the yoke

must be OF identical lace or material, or
they will not bear that look of relation
ship which is needful tn nrevent the
waist from looking like natchwork
Sleeves in their present state of over
elaboration help to solve the problem of
their making over This applies, Of
course, chiefly to sleeves of dressy waists
and gowns. The sleeves of cloth
dresses and suits are more severe and
require different treatment.
The sleeve decoration of an afternoon,
theater or party waist usually partakes
of the trimming characteristics of the
yoke, but in the matter of shaping the
styles are unusually elastic. Some
sleeves consist of single small puff
scarcely reaching to the elbow, Others
are made of a succession of such puffs
joined together with lace bands. A
narrow sleeve, if sufficiently long, can
have the upper sleeve portion slit length
wise three times and gathered up to ell
bow length and joined with three bands
of heavy lace. Narrow strap of ma
terial with edges turned in and stitched
make very effective over-trimrning to
use across broad lace landings, or to
suggest a vestee effect at front of waist.
These straps should be about three
eighths of an inch wide and may be
made of either straight or bias material +;
each little strap should have a small but
ton or tiny braid ornament at both ends.
Very pretty braid ornaments can be
made of narrow white or colored SOU
tache braid by simply casting chain
of five stitches with an ordinary zephyr
crochet-hook, then drawing the end at
which you begin through the sixth loop
pull both ends closely and fasten with
thread and needle before cutting off.
A lady whose daughter had grown
too tall and stout for her last years
tailored gown was enabled to widen and
lengthen it. and transformed it into an
exceptionally handsome suit by use of
soutache braid and velvet To do this
she opened the lengthwise seams ex-
tending from the shoulders at front and
back of coat; into these shc introduced
narrow gore of ve1veteen of the same
shade as the suit. This gore of velve-
teen was not over an inch wide at its
widest part, and narrowed down to half
that width at the waist line. This vel
veteen strip was reinforced by a lining
of canvas of the same weight as was
used for interlining the coat After
carefully basting the canvas and velve-

teen gore under the carefully turnedin
edges of the cloth, the coat was tried
on and fitted before stitching the gore
to place. The inside edges, that is, the
edge of the gore nearest the center, was
left unstitched to permit the "introduc-
ton of the ends of narrow tailor
straps of broadcloth, also of the same
Shade as the suit These straps were
sCalie half inch in width and were cut
mo ii'Sh tand a quarter lengths. The
Tlle eil! u cash strap was placed under
the l[siae edge OF the overlapping cloth
and held IN place by she stitching. The
free ends of the straps we.e tackled over
the opposite edge of overlapping cloth
and fastened with small braid ornaments
flat collar and the cuffs were trimmed
with shaped empiecements of the velvet
slip stitched to place.
The skirt, which was of the circular
variety, presented a more difficult prob
lem. 1t was ripped from the band, the
back plaits and placket opened and cut
apart through the center of the front,
into which very narrow gore of velvet,
not wider than four inches at the bot
tom, was introduced. This gore was
cut the full length wanted. The skirt
was then fitted to velvet yoke which
had two nine inch tabs at each side. The
edges Of the velvet overlapped the cloth
and were stitched to place. Narrow
straps of the broadcloth crossed the vel
vet panel in front and at the side; these
had the braid ornaments at each end.
The suit is much handsomer this year
than last, and no one would ever sus-
pect that it was remodeled, for the
clever trimming touches give it all the
air of an exclusive and individual de-
sign.

Husband and Wife.

The best husband is the philosopher
who knows how to accommodate himself
to conditions.
The best wife is she who has learned
mutual concessions are better than
grand principles.
The best husband is diplomat, who,
whatever he thinks of the government,
serves his queen.
The best wife is she who gives queen
to serve.
The best husband is he that does what
he wants, but always makes his wife
think that she inspires his wishes.
The best wife is she who, whatever
she knows, is content to ask and receive
only his higher nature, and does not
wreck the ship if another woman re-
ceives his lower.
The best husband should keep:
The tenderness OF a lover;
The companionship of a comrade;
The freedom of friend;
The watchfulness of father;
The playfulness of son;
The attention of stranger.
And the best wife will respond to all
be his known and unknown companior,
friend and child-all in one.

it was an easy matter to carry out my
desired purpose"
Nine years later, when DR.. Newell
chad become a member of Congress from
New Jersey, he spoke before the House
7on the necessity of federal life saving
iland gave the points of his plan for such
a service, based on his study of the prob
lem during the years between the ship
wreck he has described and his election
to Congress- So ardcntly did he cham
pion his plan that he drew to his sup
port Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy
Adams among other influential mem
berS of the House, and when the light
house bill came over from the Senate,
bsthe House inserted a clause providing
for an appropriation of $4,000 for the
establishment of eight life saving sta
tions and their equipment on the New
Jersey coast between Sandy Hook and
Little Egg Harbor; the Senate concur
ring i'll the amendment.
ays The next year DR.. Newell secured an
appropriation of $4,000 for the exten-
sion of the service from Little Egg Har-
Dor to Cape May, at the southermost
end of the New Jersey Coast, and the
Government was fairly launched in the
work of life saving.
The new service, the first few years of
its existence, more than justified the ex-
pectations of DR. Newell and other ad-
vocates, but there came a tine when it
got to be a political plaything and
speedily feel into disrepute, though there
~. was never lack Of heroism on the part
OF the crews. All this time the service
was limited to the Atlantic seaboard );
that is, what service there was, with
the stations closed a good part of the
year by the Governments parsimony.
In the later sixties, when Congressman
'Sunset" Cox took up the cudgels in
behalf of the service, it had become COM
pletely disorganized By 1871 it had
been reorganized, thanks to Mr.. Cox,
and this is the organization that exists
to-day, the like of which is to be found
nowhere else on the globe. Canada is
the only other country maintaining a life
saving service not volunteer, but it is
not to be mentioned in the same breath
With ours.
Since the seventies the service has
2"heen extended all along the Atlantic
and Pacific seaboards, the shore of the
Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes
While a majority of the nearly three
hundred life saving stations are to be
found on the Atlantic seaboard, due to
the storminess of the Atlantic and its
ssheavy commerce, and while it is of the
work of the Atlantic coast crews that
the public hears oftenest it is never
tatheess true that the life guards
elsewhere are every whit as brave

WHERE THE BIG MONEY I

The Company will operate its shows
upon the circuit plan, that is from town
to town, just as theatrical and Vaude-
vile shows are run, because it can be
done at the least cost and greatest profit,
the entire twenty productions being man
aged from the Central Office in New
York. This is possible because the
Parks granting us concessions on per-
centage basis keep check on the receipts
to insure their percentage, thus reducing
our operating expense to a very small
figure. Our productions will comprise
Spectacular Shoes, Scen0grabhs, Kline

Home Economies
By MINNA S. CRAWFORD.

There was a time when folk regarded
the serious study of dress and fashion
as an evidence of pure vanity. Nova
days such study has come to be a real
necessity, for in modern life a woman
cannot hope to attain success of any
kind, social or financial, unless she pre-
sents an attractive outward appearance
and her clothing bears those indefnable
yet very apparent touches that are rec
ognized as the hallmarks of recent shap-
ing and style.
To veer with the ever-changing
weathercock of fashion and conform
with its demands upon the limit of a
small income requires very high order
of financial ability, as we'll as superior
taste and judgment. Hence, the woman
who is wise gives the question of ap-
parel a great deal of time and thought
The many quick and radical changes
in fashions are enough to drive the eco
nomically to despair. How to
remodel last years gowns in n way that
will not betray the makeshift is a prob
lem which confronts many possessors of
lean purses.
In making over dress the first thing
to be thought of is an up-to-date corset,
because the change of figure demanded
by fashion is fundamental and begins
with the corset. You will be surprised
to find that the waist and skirt rehtted
over the new high-bust, slender-hip cor
set at once begin to assume different
air.
With the proper corsets as a founda-
ton, the reshaping of last years frocks
is very much simplihed.
Fortunately the blouse waist has be-
come so exuberant and exotic in the

were but the beginnings, 1t remained for
Mr.. Edward J. Austen, that great and
successful creator OF gorgeous spcctacu-
lar productions, to arouse the people to
the highest pitch of enthusiastic ap-
proval by introducing such wonderful
conceptions as The Johnstowu Flood
New York to the North Pole, Battle OF
Gettysburg, and the most notable amuse-
ment successes for the last 20 years, and
they demonstrated their appreciation by
packing his shows to the house capacity.
The great demand of Park Managers
and their public has been, and is, for
HoVeib-S0methHg nc7v, something
neger seen, bigger, better, grander than
before, and Mr.. Austen is going to sup-
ply that demand this season with a series
or attractions, scintillating in marvellous

ing climaXes. Many of these new pro-
ductions are completed, others are under
way, all of them (t7QcHty in number
