smoothly around the hips. tie front
gore lunsing perfectly straight. The
fullness Mt TIE back should now be
laid into plalts and pinned into place.
In cutting skirt for stout person
II is well to cut the front and first
side gore little longer than the pat
tern. 1t Is very essential that the
front gore be kept in the position in
which it is now pinned. To do this
the side cores will have to be lifted.
When the front OF the skirt hangs
satisfactorily and the hips are cited
the pluits In the back can be brought
together to form an Inverted box plat
aud pinned to position. bringing the
edges exactly over to the center. Tho
seams must be adjusted from the hins

feet smoothness Is obtained. II darts

then basted. stitched and pressed flat.
The front will he improved by round

Much OF the success OF the waist lies
in the careful cutting and fitting OF the
lining. Always see that the cutting
line. indicated by line OF perforations
in the pattern. Is lengthwlse OF the ma.
terial. After cutting and basting the
lining try IT on. making the necessary
alterations before cutting the outside
goods. In order to secure a smooth
d across the upper part Of the front
the lining fronts should be cut a tribe
larger than the outside. For stout fe.
nrcs It Is well to cut the lining across
the grain Of the goods. as it is much
stronger.

A CURIOUS PROBLEM.
The Trembling Pillar Mt ReIma
Puzzle TO Architects.

Puzzle 10 Architects.
The famous trembling pillar Mt ReIms
presents curious problem to archI-
tects, The Church OF ST. Nlcaise Il sur
rounded with pillars constructed 10
prevent the walls from straining. At
the entrance OF the church Is i bell
tower. On one OF the bells In this tow
er the phenomenon OF the trembling
pillar depends When this bell Il rung
or even touched the top or this pillar
sways.
II goes and returns about seven
inches on each side. although the base
OF the pillar Is immovable. and the
stones are so firmly cemented that II
seems like a solid piece OF stone.
An authority who states that no
satisfactory solution OF this popularity
has been gives writes: What Is very
singular is that, although the four bells
are about the same distance from the
trembling pillar. only one OF them has
any effect on 1t. The others may be
rung slngly or all together without
moving it.
In ITT5 little window was made In
the roof OF the church Opposite the pill
lar. A board was placed on top OF the
pillar, and on 1t were put two glasses
OF water. Then the bell was rung. I'm.
mediately the pillar began to sway, and
at the fifth stroke OF the bell the two
glasses were thrown OF.
The ringing Of this bell has no effect
on the pillars between the phenomenal
one and the tower nor ON any Of the
Others, but formerly it was the first pill
lar which swayed. then IL became i'm.
movable. and some years ago the one
next to it became the eccentric one.
