that they do not look unsightly when
the loose overskirt blows back.
We now come to the fashioning of
and full fronts, both gathered into a
narrow American" yoke-viz. one cut
all in one piece. The lining of the
bodice is a fitting one, and must have

seams and darts for the bones to be
put into; these can then easily be
drawn out when the dress requires
cleaning or washing.
Two long crossway pieces of the
voile, some Is inches in width. make
the fichu-like bretelles that drape the
shoulders; these two pieces are Joined
together down the back, coming into
sharp point at the waist and form

is filled up with gathered spotted
muslin after the manner of the vest
in front. Bodice and fichu are caught
together half way down the fronts
and nearly the whole length down the
side, by slip-stitching under the inch

scalloped silken braid matching the
tweed in tone. On the charming
coatee the blue cloth and the braid
also figure effectively, and there is,
too, waistcoat of the soft blue, fas-
tening In series of scallops, and all
edged with narrow black and white
braid, and tiny ruffling of lace, the
buttons, too, being in blue and black
and white trimmed round with gold.
Every detail is, indeed, worth study
ing, and then the hat, too, is charm
ing. simply and smartly trimmed as 1t
is with groups of white wings.
The cotton voiles have come to rival
printed chiffons in the delicacy of
their colorings and beauty of pattern
and are essentially fabric for festive
attire, and their cost being so little
they appeal to the home dressmaker
as particularly suited to the creation
Of an economical yet apparently cost
ly costume Our illustration demon
strates the possibilities of this cloth. 1t
will be noted that the trimmings are
arranged in the simplest manner, and
the method of putting them on will be
here explained in due course.
We will proceed now with the cut
ting out: The skirt pattern consists
of one-half of the top Of the under
of the overskirt.
This last-named is cut practically on
the same principle as the underskirt,
only with the front edge to the sell
wedge and the bias seam at the back
whereas the underskirt has the front
and back seams both slightly on the
bias, the latter more so than the for
mer, but neither so much so as is the
central back seam of the overskirt
The full founce in its turn demands
that the overskirt shall be heavily
gored so as to get plenty of width at
the hem and thus fall easily in with
the folds of the tiounce.
For the back seam of skirt place a
length of Prussian binding along the
seam whep tacking the two parts to-
gether; machine one edge of this in,
when doing the seam; afterwards fell
the other edge down over the raw
edges of the seam. and thus neaten
and strengthen it all at the same
time. The binding should match the
color Of the voile. and If it is irrpos-
sible to get this, length of sarceL,t
or narrow glace ribbon will be nearly
as serviceable and possibly easier to
obtain.
The back seam of the overskirt
should be what is called a French"
seam-that is, 1t should first be
stitched with the raw edges facing the
right side of the material, then this
should be folded face to face and an
other seam tackled, Of depth suf-
fcient to enclose the narrow turns of
the first one.
The founce has two rows of gath
The Colorado statesman., 1907-08-31

ering thread run along it, and for
neatness' sake the top is turned down
half an inch on to the right side, the
first gathering going through the
double thickness.
To join fiounce on to upper, divide
it first into halves, then quarters; do
the same with the skirt, and then pin
quarter to quarter, drawing the gath
ering threads up and twisting them
round the pins when the material is
drawn the requisite length between
each. thus regulating the fullness
evenly. Tack on carefully, and then
machine on to wrong side Of skirt,
after which press. Finish off the ends
of the V trimming of lace neatly, SO

Nice, the Gayest of Health Resorts

MICE, Cle VayeSG OF Health Resorts.
Leslie 5 Weekly.
There is one particularly happy
characteristic Of Nice which, unfor-
tunately, will not be found repeated
in any other resort of equal fame on
either side of the Atlantic. This
characteristic, which one would least
expect to find there, is that, despite
the yearly flood Of moneyed visitors.
there is still a wide choice Of accom-
modations, and 1t does not require a
millionaire s income 10 cover the ex-
penses Of month or two, not merely
as looker-on, but as a participant
in the various pleasures. There are
most luxurious hotels which, with the
exception of those in Rome, surpass
anything in England or on the CONT
nent. There are any amount Of sim
pie inns, practical villas and plain
lodgings. Clean and comfortable lit
tie flats furnished for occupancy rent
from 800 TO 1900 for the season last
ing from November to May. Villas
cost more according 10 location and
size. There are hundreds of boarding
houses where the daily expense ranges
from seven to fifteen frances. The
ra-fashionablc who season in Nice
have, within the last year or two,
selected CimicZ. Il suburb Of the city,
for their summer homes. The two
large hotels thcre-tnc Winter Palace
and the Riviera-arc the centres of
fashionable society and conservatism.
But, as it is in Paris, ii would be we'll
for the tourist who wishes to rent for
The summer, after havin" selected his
flat or villa, TO place the entire busi-
ness Of renting in the hands Of a res
ponsible agent; for, besides the mil
lion or more little tricks known to
foreign landlords, the most Innocent
looking landlord in Nice has million
additional ready to spring upon the
trusting American. who without an
agent is often obliged TO resort to the
law for an amicablc settlement with
out accompanying robbery.

MAJ. FANT'S WILL PROBATED
Leaves $4,000 to the First Baptist
Church IF So Much be Neces-
sary' to Clear Debt.

The State.
Union, Sept. 27.-Under the con-
ditions Of the will of the late Mai.
John A. FAINT Of this city, whose will
was made public and probated today,
the First Baptist church Of this city
will be the recipient of bequest of
$4,000 "if 50 much be necessary"
to clear off the debt now hanging ov-
er the church, and that it may be en-.
tirely eliminated. When the plan for
the new church was first proposed a
few years ago, Maj. Fant was among
the largest contributors. Since that
time he has made many other contri-
buttons, which probably amount to
$4,000 or $4,000. While the building
was being erected, it was found, as is
very frequently the case, that the
building would cost more than has
been expected, but it was decided
that it would be best to build a church
which would be Il credit TO Union in
years to come, and the money neces-
sary for its completion was negotiat-
ed for. Now through the splendid IL
berality and great generosity of Mr..
FAINT something like $4,000 will be
bequeathed.
1t is understood that a quiet can
vass is now bcin" made among the
members Of the First Baptist church
to raise the balance, which is about
$1,000. which, ii is believed. will be
successful before next Sunday, when
a special service will be held to make
public acknowledgment for Mai
Fant's great munificcncc, and if there
be any deficit it will be made up then.
Maj. FAINT left quite large estate.
The individual members of the fam
ity are we'll provided for. The admin
istrators and the administrators of
the will are: Nicholson Bank and
Trust company, Mr. j. Roy Fant and
Mrs. Ora b. FAINT.

AND THE CUP GAME BACK
TO MR.. r. EMMETT BLAKEIEY
The Augusta Chronicle.

Tbe Augusta Chronicle.
Chronicle Bureau, 1922 Main street.
Columbia, S. c., Sept. 8.-An old sill
Yer cup bearing an Irish hall mark,
battered into shapeless mass and
blue and dirty with age and tarnish,
came so suddenly and unexpectedly
under the eye of Mr.. Robert Emmett
Blakeley q few days ago to. accuse
him of joyful jag for which ne sac
rificed the cup to a Columbia jeweler
forty years ago, that he started, turn
ed pale and held it in trembling
hands. Mr.. Blakeley is a popular
travelling man we'll known through
out this and noighboring states.
In spite Of the precaution he took
when he sold the cup to take it out
in the back yard and hammer it into
as shapeless mass as possible so as to
insure it promptly being melted up
as old silver by the jcwelcr, it came
back to him with hardly a dent more
than those ne put into it that after
noon when he could see no other
method of raising funds for a little
outing with a friend. But his stunt
with brick at last resulted in his
preserving the piece in the family
Ile says there is not money enough in
Columbia to buy it back from him.
The cup, which if it could speak,
could tell some interesting and valu-
able history Of many fine old ante
bellum families which used to spend
the summers at Chick Springs near
GrecEviilc. These old family silver
cups had many meetings at those
springs. Mr.. Blakelcy's cup has now
been beaten back into shape by So
Der jcweler, the beautiful engraving
of clearly, and is in the possession of
Mr.. Blakeley's grandson, the infant
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. McNulty.
It is engraved, "R. Caldwell to R.
Caldwell Blakeley." The name of the
original owner is, as stated above
Robert Emmett Blakeley. The uncle
who presented the cup bought it while
on visit to his old nome in Ireland
not knowing when his sister wrote
him Of the blr.h Of the child and in
formed him that he had namesake
that the name of Caldwell's business
partner in Charleston, Emmett was
also to be taken in.
The cup was recovedd by Alderman
John A. Willis, who runs across many
interesting incidents of this kind in
picking up long buried treasures Of
family history in pursuing his bobby
as collector Of old silver and ole
furniture. The jeweler to whom tho
cup wa; sold left it among other ef-
fects at his death and his son sole
it to Mr.. Willis, who paid sc for il
and let it go to Mr.. Blakeley at thai
figure.
