Blouse With Bretellcs

No prettier variation OF the ever
useful blouse has yet appeared than
this one. II gives the broad shoulder
effect. IL is so constructed as to con-
ceal the armhole seams. and is alto
gether graceful and attractive, while
IL is adapted To whole host of ma
terials. In the illustration plaid taf-
feta is trimmed with frills Of ribbon.
but the wasting nannels are very
beautiful this season. and suit the
model admirably well. while IL is also
adapted TO madras and linen II can
be made with or without the frills
and with pretty three-quarter sleeves
or those that extend 10 the wrists, as
may be liked. so that 1t provides a
generous variety.
The waist is made with fronts and
back and with the bretelles that are
attached beneath the outermost tucks.
There is regulation box pleat at the
front and the neck can be finished
with a band and worn with a separ-
ate collar or with a stock as liked.

THE MISSOURI BANANA.
The Pawpaw and Its Relation TO City
People.

The Missouri banana" is now in
the market, says the Holt County
Journal. Three 20 four for a nickel
Is the price. The supply is consider
ably in excess Of the demand. Some
people can enjoy the fruit, but TO
many it's flavor is somewhat sickcn-
ing. IL is strongly suggestive, how
ever, OF the real banana. Possibly IL
is a poor relation. Let the wise bot
anlst say whether. In appearance IL
is more like an Irish potato ia a
smooth coat OF rich Irish green.
The pawpaw-after all, we might
rs well admit II, is what the Missouri
banana is-grows in great abundance
on hillsides and bottom lands along
the Missouri River and tributary
streams. You can spell II either way.
"papaw" or "pawpaw." You pay
pay your money and take your choice.
IL tastes just the same either way.
Many country people would be
ashamed 20 be caught eating the paw
paw. City bred people know little
about II. but sometimes nibble az II
for the sake OF novelty. But In coun-
try bred people. now living In the cit
ies, the sight OF a pawpaw awakens
sentimental interest. II reyiyes men,
ories OF the bark whistles. fashioned
by the childish hands. which made
the forests ring with their shrill mu-

Civil Burial in France.

An inquirer into the social life OF
France has been investigating the
prevalence Of civil burial, and comes
20 the conclusion that for the last
quarter OF a century Il has been sta
tionary at from 1s to 20 percent OF the
population. An odd fact about the
question is that among the educated
classes civil burial Is almost exclus-
tvely by the very poor. OF 10000 bur-
ials annually 1000 are OF the class
which has TO be buried ct the public
expense. and 1000 more among the very
poorest Of those who buy their own
eraves.-The London Globe.
