Blouse With Chemisette.

Any waist that can be made high or
partly low neck at will Is certain to
find welcome for it suits a very big
number of occasions. This one Is
charming and attractive and suits
both the gown and the separate
blouse AS illustrated the material is
lawn with trimming of embroidered
banding and edging and the neck Is
left with the open square, but all
seasonable materials are appropriate
and the separate chemisette can be
made from lace, embroidery or lin
gerie material. The pleats at the
shoulders are very generally becom-
ing and the flaring roll-over cuffs fin
ish the sleeves in a most satisfactory
manner. A little later taffeta and
pongee will be admirable so made
while for immediate wear all the
pretty linen and cotton stuffs are
suitable.
The waist is made with fronts and
backs. 1t is pleated at the shoulders
and gathered at the waist line and
gathered into bands to which the
cuffs are attached and the chemisette
is arranged under the waist. Both
are closed inyisibly at the back.

Nairobi, the "Tin City"

"Tin City," from its nickname,
should be an American boom town."
situated in Nebraska or the Klondike;
but it is not. 1t is a creation of our
British cousins, who seem to have
found timed things so good to live
on that they are trying them to live
in. Nairobi, which is Tin City's
proper name, is new railway town
in the British East African protecto-
of houses, each built entirely of
sheets of galvanized iron, put up in
London and then knocked down and
shipped to Africa.
The new city is fiat town." that
is, it was made by governmental de-
cree. Sir George Whitehouse, chief
engineer of the Uganda railroad, was
responsible for it. He was out with
his construction party in the field,
and camped one night on great plain
beside Nairobi Creek The ground
for long way round was level. 1t
was on a plateau, well-drained and
healthful. About it were gracefully
ascending hills, well-wooded and wa
tered.
Here" said Sir George, will be
the headquarters of the railway. We
will build the shops here and the
houses of the workmen. This is the
ideal location. The creek furnishes
good water. the place is on the bor-
ders of the Nasal and the Kikuyu, and
offers underground from which
to govern them"
His assistants demurred to the To-
cation. 1t was a dreary waste to
them, and they urged him to set up
his tents in the hills; but to this he
replied that the hills would do for
the officers villas and bungalows,
but that the city would do better on
the plain, and that there is should
stand.
There, in fact, it does stand, as
odd a sight as Africa can show. The
railway company shipped in the
houses for its employees, and they
were set up in orthodox, right-angle
fashion. Two Christian churches, two
mosques and a Hindu temple are
among the buildings, and there were
in the town last December nearly
five thousand people. 1t Is over three
hundred miles from Mombasa. the
chief seaport and capital of the pro-
tectorate. and two hundred and fifty
miles from Port Florence. the Lake
Victoria terminus.
Already European farmers are set
tling near the town to supply it with I,
provisions. and 1t seems destined to
have a prosperous future.

JEWISH GENTLE MARRIAGES.
Increasing in English Speaking Coun-

tries-Danger to Zionist Movement.
The growth of intermarriage be-
tween Jews and gentiles in recent
years has moved the Jewish Chronicle
of London to make a plea for
Strengthening the historic religious
conscience of our people"
A we'll know Jewish lecturer in an
interview said the intermarriage of
Jews and gentiles had first assumed
notable proportions in Germany part
ly as result of the increased social
intercourse of the gentiles and Jews
which followed the intellectual eman-
cipation of Jewry wrought by the pop
ular philosopher Moses Mendelssohn
and his contemporaries.
Figures show that it has affected
all English speaking countries, par
ticularly New South Wales and other
Australian colonies. The figures are
most significant because they apply
only to marriages not solemnized in a
synagogue. There are thousands of
unions which are intermarriages in
fact though not technically so re-
garded, because one of the parties ac-
cepted the Jewish faith before the
ceremony, and the marriages are
therefore between persons of the Jew
ish religion if not of Jewish blood.
In such cases the children are sell
dom lost to Judaism. But the con-
sequences too often is that the par
ents settle their differences by ignor-
ing religion altogether and do not
bring up their children as adherents
either to Judaism or to Christianity.
These facts are of course powerful
arguments in the mouths of Zionists
and to some extent account for the
rapid flocking of intellectual Jews to
their banner. The Jewish people are
beginning to believe, this authority
says, that SO long as they remain
dispersed without territorial foothold
the amenities of modern civilization
are a greater danger to their exist
ence than the confinement of the
ghetto and the barbarities of the
torch and the thumbscrews of the po-
grom.

Rural Automobiles.

In the counties of northeastern
Ohio and the level portions of Penn
sylvania north of Pittsburg a move
ment has been started for the estab-
lishment of rural automobile mail
service. Fairly good roads and the
absence of many steep hills make an
automobile by far the quickest meth
cd of transportation. Several of the
largest distributing centres have al
ready inaugurated the practice and
few machines have been bought. 1t
