painting their lecture charts on the
walls of the lodge
Mr. ]. B. Dickson, who had just
finished the glass front to his store
had all of the bricks OF it blown and
washed out by the wind and rain.

court house yard, and one of the
largest and most beautiful in the
county, was blown over.
The telephone exchange was on the
bum" Monday morning from falling
trees breaking the cables and wires.
The board walk up Morgan Hill is
gone in spots. and people living there
have to wade in several places to get
to town.
None of the rural routes could be
covered on account of the heavy fall
of timber in the roads.
-ssge ral kaf.es and out hauseSAwere
blown over and taken several feet
away from the foundations.
The lightning was so bright that
objects could be seen at the flashes
as plainly as if it were in the dav
time. There was a continual display
of lightning for two or three minutes
at the time.
The tallest smoke stack of the city
water works blew over and very
light wind vii carry the other
No damage was sustained by the
electric plant.
Trees are laying all over the street 5
and an extra crew is at work clean

guimpe can be made of lace, embroid-
cry or of the stiIl simpler lingerie
material or of chiffon as liked. 1t is
entirely separate from the blouse and
consequently it can be varied as often
as may be liked, so that really with
very little labor the one blouse can
be made to take on two or three quite
different shapes. Again, the model
is just as well suited to the odd waist
as to the entire gown and conse-
Quently is an exceedingly valuable
acquisition to the possibilities of the
wardrobe. In this case the guimpe
Is made with the new long sleeves,
but it can be made quite sleeveless,
and those of the blouse only worn If
liked
The blouse is made with fronts and
back, which are tucked on becoming
lines. and to which the pretty three
quarter sleeves are attached. These
sleeves are finished with oddly shaped
cuffs and to the lower edge of the
blouse is joined basque portion,
which keeps it perfectly in place. The
guimpe is made with front and backs
and plain fitted sleeves that are made
with upper and under portions. 1t is
closed invisibIy at the back and the
neck is finished with one of the new
stock collars that rounds up back of
the ears.

Shirt Waist or Blouse.


Every fresh variation of the shirt
waist meets its welcome. Here is
one, that while 1t is made in tailored
style, departs somewhat from the
regulation model and is exceedingly
chic and smart. In the illustration.
1t is made of white linen and the lit
tie chemisette is of the material
tucked. while the band is of the same
trimmed with pearl buttons, but
there are a great many possibilities
In the design, simple as 1t is. It can
be made of washable material and
left unlined, or it can be made of silk
or of wool and used with or without
the lining as liked. while the little
chemisette can be of embroidery in
place Of the tucking, or can be treated
in any way that may be liked. Again
the plain front affords exceptional ops
portunity for embroidery and can be
elaborated In variety of ways.
The waist is made with the fitted
lining, which can be used or omitted
as liked, the centre front, the tucked
side fronts and the backs. The chem
isette portion is applied over the
plain front and If liked the material
beneath can be cut away. A collar
finishes the neck and there are regus

them. His nervous system is a part
