Boys Blouse Suit.

The blouse suit is the fayorite for
the active boys and seems never to lose
its popularity. This one is made with
the plain trousers that are so becom-
ing and so satisfactory and can be
made available for whole host of ma
terials. In the illustration it is made
of white linen, but it would be both
fashionable and serviceable made of
galatea, kahlSi cloth and the like, while
little later the same model will be
available for such materials as serge
and other wool suitings. The suit con-
s.sts of the blouse and the trousers.
The blouse is made with fronts and
back, and Is finished with a shirt waist

The turnovers are stiff enough by this
method of drying without starch. In
addition to a clean turnover and hand

stocking and stretch it as she draws

An American woman writing in the
London Telegraph says that there are
about a half million farm laborers
among the women of the United States,
and yet. she says, we grow very indig-
nant when we see women working in
the fields in Europe. One woman in
every five in the United States earns
her own living, and yet it is supposed
to be "a very chivalrous nation, and
much sympathy is given to the poor
foreign woman who must do the things
that have to be done in her particular
environment.

DID you ever stand at the telephone
and wonder whether it would be polite
for you TO say ''good-by" or to wait for
the lady at the other end to close the
interview? An authority on telephone
etiquette says that the person who
made the call should be the one to
leave, just as she would if she were call
ing in person. Another point of Ell
quette is that in asking for Mrs. Smith
to come to the telephone you should

The anthropologist's analysis Of
the dress suit was as follows:
THE cutting away at the waist of
the coat had once the purpose Of pre-
venting the coat skirts from getting
In the way Of riding.
Three buttons at the back Of the
coat once served the purpose Of fast
en1ng the skirts behind to prevent
flaring in the wind or wrinkling.
THE present cut Of the collar
keeps the now misplaced notches to
allow its being turned up or down.
Tho silk facings represented the
old ordinary lining.
THE sham cuffs now made with a
seam around the wrist once were
real cuffs when the sleeves were
turned back.
"Our dress suit today is only a
survival of what originally was a
riding habit. It's use was confined
entirely to the richer class, who
alone could afford to own horses.
When riding habit showed signs
OF wear it was given a servant, and
today our walters, buffers, and 9TH
or servants are using the convention
al fashion which originated centuries
ago.

crop was long drought, followed by
untimely rains, the heavy thunder
storms Of last September being res
ponsible for the loss of a large por
ton Of the fruit. These conditins
mark the low limit of production
for Spanish oil in this section. Not
during the last 20 years has such an
unfavOrable situation confronted the
Malaga growers and exporters. The
crop Of the previous season was also
exceedingly short, but Of sufficient
size to warrant some Shipment at
high figures.
An idea of the extent to which the
industry has been paralyzed may be
gathered from consular invoice fig
ures. The crop Of 1902 made sales to
the United States alone Of 25, SIT bar

barrels went out during the past

BROOM MAY BE ABOLISHED.
Vacuum Dust Rcmovers are Coming
Into Vogue of Late.

London Lancet.
The broom threatens soon to be as
obsolete as the copper warming pan,
Judging from the number of vacuum
dust remOVers which are being plac-
ed upon the market The change is
one which must meet with the un-
qualified approval Of all who know
what breeding ground of disease Is
the common dust of houses. Every
housewife who is possessed of clean
~ instincts should welcome an appa-
ratuS which removes dust instead Of
scattering it in all directions, lost to
the senses, so to speak, for a time by
It's attenuation in air, only sooner CT
later TO settle again on the shelves,
pictures, curtains and carpets in a
thln MIN. Moreover, the removal Of
dust and it's collection in a recepta-
Gle by means Of the vacuum cleaner
permit Of its absolute destruction by
fire.
Psychological science can easily
demonstrate the existence Of disease
germs in common household dust,
and there is evidence Of an eminent
ly practical character that dust IS
otherwise source Of disease; there
could hardly be a more effective
means Of spreading the infective and
irritating particles than the Old-fash-
1oned broom. The method is not on
~ lnSanitary, but absurd from the
point Of view Of it's application.
Inc broom may clean the surface
OF a carpet, chair or curtain effectu-
ally enough, but the dust is only re-
moved to be scattered elsewhere and
to be spread over an even wider area
than ever before. The great and i'm
portant difference between the cult of
the broom and vacuum clean
er may be summed up by saying that
while the former is calculated to
sperad' disease the latter enables the
dust and it's pathogenic contents to
De removed and destroyed by fire.
The passing Of the broom, when it
comes to be I'm fat accomph will be
a fact Of great sanitary Significance.
