green lace and is finished with fancy
stitching But not alone are the
light weight wool materials of the
present appropriate, the design is
charming one for the many silk and
cotton materials and other similar
fabrics that will be worn throughout
the warm weather and that also make
very charming, fascinating dancing
school and party frocks.
The dress consists of body lining,
which is faced to form the yoke and
on which the tucked and shirred por-
ton is arranged, and the skirt. The
skirt is hemmed and tucked at it's
lower edge and shirred at the upper
and joined to the waist. The pretty
s ewes also are tucked and gathered
at their edges and are finished with
bands.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (ten years. is
five yards twenty-seven, four and one
fourth yards thirty-six or three and
one-four yards forty-four inches wide,
with three-eighth yard of all-over
lace and three yards of lace for frills.

Girl An Electric Battery.

That Fannie Shapiro is a natural
electric battery and surcharged is
the only explanation that the scien-
lists can offer of the remarkable ex-
perience she undergoes every time
she attempts to ride In an electric
car. Miss Shapiro is 16 years old and
one of the prettiest girls in the Old
Church District. in which she lives
on Phillips Street. The most learned
of Boston's hospital surgeons have
been unable to fathom the mysterious
case.
The moment the young woman
boards a trolley car and the current
is turned on she is overcome with
an uncomfortable desire to laugh and
cry. Before she has Travelled half
dozen blocks she is in tears and then
suddenly becomes exhilarated and
breaks into peals of laughter which
she is unable to restrain. She Is
fully aware of her condition and
knows that she is attracting atten-
ton, but cannot control herself.
She has made every effort to over
come this peculiar condition, but
without avail, and twice IL mas pc
come necessary to remove her to the
Relief Hospital for treatment.
Miss Shapiro is buxom, rosy
girl, the picture of perfect health,
and, Inundated by her peculiar con-
dition, which has become known as
''trolleyitis," she began yesterday
walking from her home to her place
of employment, and says she in
tends to continue it until the doc
tors can devise plan to relieve her
of the surplus electrical energy she
possesses.-N. Y. World.

American Flour in South Africa.

The Argentine Consul at Durham,
British South Africa, according to the
Northwestern Miller, reports to his
government that Argentine flour Ia
unable to stand competition there
with that from the United States,
because of its inferior quality and it's
uselessness in any of the industries
in which flour is used except for the
preparation of an Inferior class OF
biscuit. In Natal Australian flour is
mostly used mixed with North Amer
lean. which is stronger and
whittier.

only the fringe, one is reluctant to

James Bryce was born in Belfast,
on May 10, 1898, and he may share
with Lord Kelvin the honor of being
the most distinguished son of the
northern capital of Ireland. But un-
like Lord Kelvin, Mr.. Bryce has for a
quarter of century been a convinced
Irish Home-Ruler.

Child's Double Breasted Coat.

Such simple coat as this one suits
the small children admirably we'll
and is always favorite. In the il
lustration it is made of dark blue
broadcloth with collar and cuffs of
velvet combined with the cloth and is
a very chic little garment, but it is
adapted to velvet and to velveteen,
to the beautiful fur pushes, to chew
lot, and, indeed, to every material
that is used for children's coats, it
being just as good a model for the
spring ones of light weight cloth as
it is for those of the colder weather.
In this case it is worn by little girl
and is buttoned over from right to
left. But the design suits the boys
just as well as the girls, the only
difference being in the method of
buttoning, so that when the left side
is Tapped onto the right it becomes
truly masculine in style and suited
to the wee men.
The coat Is made with fronts and
back, fitted by means of shoulder
and under-arm seams, and is finished
at the neck with a comfortable roll
over collar. Its sleeves are in regu-
lation coat style with Follower cuffs,
and it is closed with buttons and
buttonholes in double breasted style.

Ambassador Bryce is Versatile

Not only has James Bryce, the new
Ambassador from Great Britain, writ
ten one of the best books ever penned
on the life and institutions of Amer
lea, but he is sure of an even warmer
welcome from the fact that he speaks
throughout that great work In terms
of warm admiration of the American
woman. He is solid with both sides.
And one may say that there is not a
section in the community on whose
welcome James Bryce has not some
special claim. There is the great
bulk of the nation, to which the
American Commonwealth recon-
mends him. To the Irish-Americans
he comes as a stanch Home-Ruler,
who never for moment wavered in
his convictions. To the German
Americans he may proudly boast that
he is an alumnus of Heidelberg, that
he is a lifelong student of German
literature and history, that, in his
first political campaign, he had the
honor, shared by few British mem
bers of Parliament, of addressing the
German electors of East London in
their own Teutonic tongue. To the
French, he can point to his splendid
study of Charlemagne, in the Holy
Roman Empire, and say that few his
torians have done more ample justice
to the great reviyer of the Roman
Empire. The Italians should well
come him as great student of Italy,
from the days of julius Caesar up to
the present day. He may fraternize
with the Swiss, if we have any among
us, on the high ground that, for
years, he was one of the most intrepid
climbers of their lovely mountains,
and is former president of the AL
pine Club. The Hungarians will re-
member, with glow of satisfaction,
that he has explored many of thu re-
mote corners of their beautiful king
dom. The Slavs know Of him as a
traveller in Poland. The Russians
may recall, with admiring envy, that
he has the honor of having climbed
Mount Ararat, alone and unguided,
while the dozen Cossacks and Kurds
who made the start with him were
of the mountain. To Sandinavians,
he may talk of his explorations in
Iceland, where he trod in tho foot
steps of the daring Vikings of old,
and his claim to have proceeded
thence to America is better anthem
ticated than that of Left the Lucky
or Eric the Red. Thus holding a
claim on so many sections of our COM
munity, Mr.. Bryce may still outstrip

Braid Wraps.

The newest little wraps which will
accompany smart wardrobes are
made entirely of braid like that
which trims the cloth skirts accom-
panying Them The extensive use of
braid promises to continue into the
next season. Many of the coats found
in the lace robe department are made
of braid held together with lace
stitches. This braid lace, known as
dentelle de sole, also forms panels
of skirts. In coats and trimmings it
is often dyed.

Knife and Fork in One Piece.

When eating pie or cake, it may
taste better when held in the fingers,
but modern etiquette says that such
practices belong to savages only, and
that the proper method is to employ
a fork. The ordinary fork generally
fulfills it's mission when used in con-
nection with homemade cakes and
pies, but when the hungry man has
to contend with the modern restau-
rant variety, at his MONDAY lunch, a

Shape OF Bees Cells.

Honeybees are generally credited
with instructive skill in making the
cells of the comb hexagonal in shape,
but it is probable that this construc-
ton is merely the ordinary result
of mechanical laws. Solitary bees
always make circular cells, and the
bees in the hive, no doubt, make
them circular also, but mechanical
pressure forces them into hexago-
nal form. A well-known naturalist,
in speaking of the matter, says that
all cylinders made Of soft, pliable
substances become hexagonal under
such circumstances.

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.

Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five DAYS.

Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-

Flaring skirts Preferred.

Many women prefer flaring skirts
of many cores for the tub frock, and
these will be a boon to the laun-

past wrestled with pleated skirts.
The danger of sagging with wear and
of losing shapeliness in the launder-
ing is, of course, the objection to the
circular wash skirt.
