For the Home Seamstress.

Costumes having the skirts and bodice
alike, wholly or in part, are general
favorites. Sometimes the gown is made
in princess form, but quite as often it
is composed of skirt and bodice made
separately but of the same material.
The shirt waist still holds first place
for hot weather wear, and in some in
stances the dress is made in one piece,
having the waist and skirt attached at
the belt.
These garments are made of prints,
ginghams, lawns, linens, silks, and wash
fabrics generally, in whole; or the skirts
may be made of any of the seasons
light weight woolen suitings with match
ing Jackets, and shirtwaists made of
wash materials.
Tn one of the new styles, a girdle,
made of a shaped piece of the dress
goods, is built into the skirt, and this
can be put on over the shirtwaist, fast
ened with hooks and eyes on the back.
Tt is claimed that the girdle skirt gives
an appearance of slenderness to the fig
ure, much more satisfactory than where
the separate belt is worn.
The three-piece combination suit con-
sisting of drawers, cOrset-cOver and un-
der -petticoat, cut to fit the bust meas
ure, and hanging in princess lines, is
very much liked by those wearing them.
The skirt has drawers front and skirt
back and there is no surplus muslin
about the waist line.
Some of the waists are cut without
an armhole seam, and thus the free use
of the arms allowed in the outdoor
sports of the season.
Many of the last seasons styles are
retained, as their usefulness will not al
low of their being dropped.
Short sleeves are still seen on the sum-
mer wear, but the new styles are intro
ducing the full-length sleeves among the
best gowned women, and favorite is
the one-piece or two-piece leg % mutton
styles which are suitable for any fabric
from cloth to lace.-Ladies' Home Jour
nal.

in perfect order, and gradually ly-heaven
knows how learns to cook appetlzlng
meals She economies in clothes, and
laughs gaily at the pretty veXations OF
her new life And [ have in mind a
pretty young teacher who knew nothing
of housekeeping She married, they
rented little house, and she was her
own maid of all work A baby arriving,
after the first few years, she took care
of him with the rest. She never seem
ed to drudge, she entertained at inter-
walls very prettily but not elabOrately;
she went out a great deal with her boy,
| and does now. She does not like house
| work, but more credit, then, that she
does it cheerfully and we'll This girl
is but a type of many in one town.
They adapt themselves to circumstances.
They dress prettily-a few of them per-
haps too much-but they take up their
cares with apparent ease, and try to be
helpmates for their husbands.
1t is pity that some of these traits
were not developed earlier to help in
their fathers homes, as a few have done,
but, after all, instead of selfish, idle,
pleasure seeking women they seemed to
promise, they prove the reverse. AS a
| rule, they assume fresh cares almost
joyously and refuse to be overcome by
them. They manage to have their pleas
ures without neglecting their duties.
Foreigners who criticise them as maid
ems, are forced to admire them as
matrons. They find them Overindulgent
to their children as were their mothers
before them. But they add that gen
orally these same spoiled children ''come
out all right" They are frankly aston
ished at the good wives the American
girls make, and sometimes try to ac-
count for the fact by declaring them
cold rather than virtuous.
I remember a spoiled selfish beauty,
devoted to her mother in her declining
days. She had developed into a noble,
earnest woman, bore trials bravely and
worked hard on a farm to help her
husband. Yet if any one in her girl
hood had predicted her real future, it
would have seemed utterly incredible.
So, while we may often wish our girls
might develop womanly qualities earlier
in life, we may take heart of grace over
the women the majority prove them
selves.

Roosevelt to Farmers Wives.

'Give your wife an eight-hou day.

large crowd of workingmen recently.
'I've mighty little use," he said, ''for
the man who is always declaiming in
favor of an eight-hour day for himself
and does not think anything at all of
having an eight-hour day for his wife.
''Give fair play all around and re-
member that the woman needs fair plav
even more than the man.

Our American Girls.

We hear of, and see for ourselves, our
young girls, thoughtless, running after
pleasure, eager, apparently, only for
good times, and we wonder if they will
ever learn the real meaning of life, ever
be earnest women. They giggIe if boy
comes in sight; they often wound us
by their demands and want of thought,
they are over fond of dress and fnery,
says Rhodes Campbell in the Housewife.
They marry some fine day, and be-
hold the change! Talk of miracles, why,
here is one right in our next street!

latter every time.

the mistake some housewives make in
keeping the best bed for company. If

NOT UNDER OUR FLAG
Supreme Court Decides Status
Of the Isle Of Pines.
AN INTEGRAL PART OF CUBA

Article 2 Of the Treaty OF Paris Held
by Highest Tribunal to Refer Only
to the Islands In the Vicinity OF
Porto Rico.
Washington, April 9.--That the Isle
of Pines Is not American territory has
been officially and judicially declared
by the supreme court of the United
States. The decision was rendered In
the famous case of Edward J. Pearcy
VS.. Nevada N. Stranahan. collector OF
the port at New York, and the opinion
Of the court was announced by Chief
Justice Fuller, who said that up to the
Paris treaty the Isle Of Pines had been
considered as an integral part of Cuba
and that 1t could not be held to be
o,ered by article 2 of that treaty
which included only islands in the
vicinity of Porto Rico
The case originated In connection
with the importation of few boxes
or cigars by Pearcy In september,
1908, but its hearing by the court was
from time to time postponed In the
hope that the status of the island
might be definitely fixed by legisla.
tion or diplomacy. The cigars were
made In the Isle Of Pines of tobacco
grown there and when they arrived
Pearcy refused to pay duty on the
ground that they were of domestic
origin. The collector thereupon seized
them and Pearcy appealed to the
United States circuit court, where he
secured no relief, as that court sus
tanned demurrer filed by the govern
ment and dismissed the case. He
promptly brought the case to the
supreme court, where the decree d
the lower court was affirmed.
