manship OF the higher grades Of domestic

Certain houses have all Of their lingerie,

own establishments, and secure a uniform

binary domestic garments. More and more,

into the garments and so combined with
lace az to give the effect of bold hand en-
broidery. Petticoats, too, employ the hand
some embroidery fiouncings.
Certain narrow bands of fine lingerie
stuff, such as batiste and lawn, are en-
broidered after the same fashion as the
motifs already referred TO. Often the
narrow embroidery design is rereated at
intervals upon lingerie material and is cut
into strips instead Of being finished like
the ordinary embroidery insertion.
This, OF course. increases the resem-
blsnoe to hand embroidery. and these
narrow strips are combined with lace in
sertion in many charming ways. Such
band trimming with simple embroidery
Of wafer dots is very effective when used
alternately with valenciennes the same
width.
Qpenwork English embroidery is less
favored han il was last year. A slight
detail OF %openwork often enters into a
design chiefly OF blind embroidery, but
aver for petticoat iouncing the English
eyelet work has no great vogue.
The beauty OF the headings his summer
is one OF the noticeable features OF the
lingerie trimmings. From the very narrow
beading, through which only baby ribbon
may be run. TO the wide headings. which
will take a five inch ribbon, the fine bead
ings are lovely of design AID the variety
in them is surprising.
In the wider headings, design and work
are as lovely as Upon the finest embroidery
insertions, and the ribbon is drawn under
certain parts Of the design and over others
with an artists eye for the effect and with
little Of the even. set regularity Of the
headings as they were first drawn. In

the slip on type, having NJ front opening
and being designed to slip on over the head.
This gives the designer more freedom in the
line of trimming design and the results
obtained are both beautiful and becoming;
but the slip on, OF course. means decol-
letage and some provision is maize for the
woman who wants her gown high Eecked.
A genuine high neckci gown is rare and
usually ugly, but a compromise Is often
made by giving a model a high back and a
demi decollete front. OF these the square
cut model is decidedly the most becoming
and is shown in the most attractive de-
signs, the very slight V cut being almost
universally u~nbecoming.
The low neck cut, square. round. or
occasionally a broad V, is the rule in the
fine gown, and the sleeves are piquant and
delectable little affairs, short, full, free at
the bottom, little more, indeed, han an
elbow depth fril cut to faring shapeliness.
Often this little sleeve opens all the way
up the outside and the trimming Of lace
frills runs around the bottom and up each
side Of the opening. Little bows OF ribbon
hold the sides of the sleeve together and
nutter daintily among the frills of lace.
A yoke Of lace, hand embroidered motifs
or what the designer will, appears upon
many Of the gowns, the body Of the gawn
being attached TO he yoke with beading
and set into the edge of this beading with
minute. thickly clustering hand tuSks.
The beading nj the yoke bottom gives
another opportunity for the Use Of ribbon,

advantage than do the narrower widths.

Dainty French models upon such semi

united merely by a fine line Of veining.
while the soft Liberty ribbon girdle is run
through long buttonholed eyelets worked
in the nainsook just below the yoke. The
soft mate rial is tucked in groups Of tiny
hand tucks at two inch intervals and the
ribbon passes under the tucking and over
the plain spaces.

Elephants Little Joke.

A big circus elephant has held up train at B elfast, Mich. When the train stopped at the station, the elephant, who was in truck adjoining the engine, filed his trunk with water from the engine tank, and deluged the driver and stoker, driving them from the engine cab, and when they tried to return he repeated his tactics. X man on the plat form was enjoying the joke until the animal turned his attention to him and gave him trunkful, knocking him off the platform, whence he rolled down an em- bankment and received injuries which terminated fatally. The elephant remained master or the situation until he had drained the tank.

germs are obtained from the dregs of casks which have con- tained genuine old wine, and those for each particular brand are placed for safekeeping in a substance prepared from Japan csc isinglass and fruit juice. In the jelly-hke mass the germs soon establish a colony. When needed, sufficient germs may be placed in a tube of sterilized fruit juice. After two or three days the juice will be in full fer mentation with plentiful effer- vescence. This process is said to impart to the wine the exact bouquet and characteristics of the. wine from which the germs originally came.

CHANGE IN COAST LINES.
Centuries Have Made Many Vicissi- tudes in Shores of the Bay
 of Naples.

Not for the first time has the shore of the Bay of Naples changed it's ancient level. The earth movements on the Neapol- itan coast were exhaustiyely studied by British exploring party only three years ago, and the discovery vas made that the more important movements of the land were not due to sudden seismic causes, but to those slow and majestic processes that af- feet the coast lines of cOnti- nents.
 But sudden disturbance does not account for the burrows of marine shell fish now found in the columns of the Temple of Serapis, 19 feet above sea level. The British Searchers were able to collect evidence showing that since the Roman dominion the Neapolitan coast sank B feet, and then rose about 20 feet, and that this tremendous change was of a gradual character.
 A good many delusions were dissipated as the result of these fresh inquiries. The submerged Roman ruins along the coast used to be regarded as founda- ton walls thrown out for sea baths, but it was made clear that they are the remains of noble mansions and that they point to the time when the land on which they stood was far above the level of the sea. The shore is in fact strewn with the wreck of buried cities. Coast roads have vanished, ancient quarries been flooded and the breakwaters of the harbors of classical story covered fathoms deep with water.
 Of Lord Rosebery's villa, down in the bottom of the sea, covering dozens of acres, lie the ruins of many buildings. A great submarine sea wall, with concrete piers 17 feet high, still protects the fragments. But neither the fragments nor the great sea wall have been visible in the light of day for 2,0O0 years.
