Fancy RIonse Waist.

The pretty fancy blouse waist is
the one most in demand at the mo-
ment both for the entire gown and
for the odd blouse. This one is adapt
ed to both purposes and would be
exceedingly charming made from any
of the fashionable thin materials. In
the illustration crepe de Chine is
combined with chemisette of lace and
is trimmed with heavy applique, while
the sleeves are finished with dainty
little bands and frills of Valenciennes
lace The blouse, however, would be
charming in louisine, in wolfe, in mar
quisette, in chiffon and all similar
materials and also in the fashionable
flet and embroidered nets. The soft
folds produced by the fullness at the
shoulders render it peculiarly well
adapted to these last and the model
is altogether most satisfactory one,
There are the big arm-holes suggest
i've of Mandarin styles, yet which are
by no means clumsy or exaggerated.
while the sleeves can be made either
in the pretty three-Quarter or full
length. Altogether the blouse gives
an effect of extreme dressiness and
charm, while it is simple, involving
very little labor in the making.
The blouse is made over a plain

and are attached to a foundation Cir
die over which the draped one is ar
ranged.
The blouse is made with front and
backs and is faced to form the chem
isette, the material beneath being cut
away when transparent effect is de-
sired. The larger portions of the
over blouse are cut in one piece each
with the centre front portion separ-
ate, and are arranged over the blouse,
which is gathered at the lower edge
and joined to the girdle. The sleeves
are moderately full and are arranged
over fitted Innings which are faced
to form the cuffs of the three-quarter
sleeves or trimmed with frills of lace

The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for the blouse,

Lightning Rod Inventor Dead.

David Munson. one of the oldest
business men of this city, is dead,
the result of an accidental fall re-
ceived near Curtisyille, Upton Coun-
ty, this State.
A number of men under his direc-
ton were engaged in putting light
ming rods on large barn. Mr.. Mum
son had started to go up ladder.
When aboGt twelve feet from the
ground he was seized with vertigo
and fell. He died from the shock
yesterday.
About 1850 he invented 'Munson' S
copper tubular lightning rod with
spiral fianges." This was the first
material departure from the old-fash-
toned iron rod, and it had great
sale all over the United States From
the time of it's invention up almost
othe present he had taken out about
1876 patents on lightning rods and APP
pliances for their manufactures In

faced to form the chemisette and the
sleeves are attached to it, The blouse
proper consists of the fronts and the
backs and is arranged over the lining,
the two being closed invisibly at the
back. The sleeves are faced to form
the deep cuffs when long sleeves are
used to form the V-shaped portions
for those of three-quarter length.
The collar can be made either curved
up back of the ears or straight as
found more becoming,

Why is it that Europe in this age
Of railroads continues to spend so
much money and devote so much
energy to the improvement of natu-
raj commercial waterways and to the
construction of those which are
wholly artificial? asks the New Or
Lea leans Pieayans; .TRe answer is that
European economists have long ago
foreseen that the capacity Of rail-
roads is limited, while the great cost
for maintenance and equipment must
constantly be met every year, where
as natural and artificial, great water
ways have larger capacity at vastly
less expense.

Papers and manuscripts relating to
explorations in 1906 Of General l.. M.
Pike, Of which Spaniards robbed him
at chihuahua, Mexico, have been
found by Herbert e Bolton, a pro-
fessor in the University of Texas, who
has been making extensive researches
in the Mexican archives. The dlscov-
cry is expected to throw light on
early American history The papers
may settle, among other questions
whether General Pike was implicated
in the Burr conspiracy.

There is room in the Bank Of
England where what is called the re-
serve is stored, relates the New Or
leans Picayune. The gross amount
may be put at about s25 100000, or
about 126 tons of standard gold. To
this must be added some G10, ZOO, 900,
or about another seventy-two tons,
held in respect of the Bank of Eng
land note issue. This latter amount
can be called into requisition by the
suspension of the Bank Act, in case
of need. In addition to this, the re-
serve held against Scotch note issues
amounts to 46,O0O,OoO and Irish
GS,OO0,000, making grand total o.
944,0OO,OOO, or SAG tons of gold.

The sleeves that extend just to the
elbows and are finished with narrow
frills are pretty and attractive, but
they can be cut little longer, cover
ing the elbows, if liked, in which case
they would be made with cuffs to
match the chemisette, as shown in the
small view. When the blouse is made
with banding, as in this instance, the
sections are cut separately and joined
one to the other over the shoulders,
but when it is cut from plain material
there is no need of such Jennings.

New York City.--The over waist
in all its variations continues to be a
favOrite of the fashionable world and
it allows of so many different effects
and such charming treatment that the
fact is easy to understand. This one
is novel and graceful and can be
utilized either for plain material or
for banding. while the blouse beneath
can be made of anything thin and
soft that may be liked. AS illustrat-
ed, however, the overwafst is made
of embroidered banding, while the
blouse itself is of crepe ninon with
the chemisette of tucked mousseline.

Waistcoats For Snits.

Some vests for suits are made of
knife-pleated taffeta, one shade light
er than the suit, sewn like rufle
inside the jacket. These silk vests
are more becoming to some figures
than the stiff, tight-ftting vest of en-
broidery and braid, but they detract
greatly from the tailored appearance,
and are, therefore, not likely to take
the place of the latter.

CHAPTER XII.

The travellers reached St. Maalo
without adventure of any kind, drove
to the station. and found train
which took them to Lekaus, where
they arrived late in the evening. They
slept there, and started the next day
for Goucy.
1t was a cold day. The sun had
not appeared; there was a sharp
spring frost and bitter east wind
The third-class carriage into which
Antionette got. without a moments
hesitation, was exceedingly comfort
less, but Antoinette said not word
of complaint.
AS they went on, it struck Arthur
that there was something odd, even
unnatural, about this. A young and
delicately brought up girl is not gem
orally so callous unless she is alb
sofbed by some thought that over
rides all other questions, physical or
mental; or else is of such a robust
physique as to be independent of
small miseries, He looked earnestly
at his companion; the latter certain
ly was not the case, it must then be
the former.
Arthur fancied that in her attitude,
in the fast clasp of her little hands in
her lap, there were signs Of suffering.
He was sympathetic by nature, but
toward this lonely, lovely girl his
sympathy welled up so irresistibly,
that even at the risk OF offending
her he felt that he must ask her what
caused her depression.
Surely. dear Mademoiselle, he
said, gently, you must have some
thing on your mind, or" he added,
smiling. Il hardly think you would
be so Indifferent tothe draught that is

enough for comfort" said Arthur.

entitled !"
THAT we will not discuss, an
swered Antoinette II am quite sat
isfed that my fathers mode of life
is the only prudent one. 1t is not

was five years old when l left home.
l can remember a big old house, with
wings / remember quantities of
cocks and hens, and an old woman
feeding them, whom ! called Nanon,
and who frightened me by her sobs
and weeping when ! went away. She
was my nurse, and / shall find her
there still, hear. She and her hus-
| band are most faithful servants.
Are any of your mothers family
living?" asked Arthur, feeling
strangely uneasy at the idea of this
i delicate, gentle girl going into the
hands of such selfish old miser, and
totally without needful protection.
| He felt that in her sweet, absolute
faith in her father she would starve
herself, and deprive herself of every
needful comfort, and even necessity,
to spare him. He felt thankful that
he should be close by, at all events,
| for some weeks, but he would be
greatly relieved could he hear of any
other relative at hand.
| II have no relatives" said An
| toinette, rather sadly. my mothers
name was Aymar-Jacqueline Ay-
mar She was the daughter of doc

father died shortly after her mar
riage. He had son, Joseph Aymar
He married. and they both died in
an epidemic of cholera when I was
little child; so no one of the name
is left. and no one of the blood, ex-
cepting myself"
Arthur was looking at her, and as
she spoke of her mothers family he
saw a strange change pass over her
face, kind of hardness which
seemed to petrify the soft flesh and
blood, and a peculiar magnetic
dreamy stare of the great gray eyes
as. they looked out to sea, almost as
if she was entering a trance.
The look startled him "Antoin-
ette!" he exclaimed, abruptly, un-
conscious that he had used her Chris
tian name,
She started and turned round, the
look vanished at once, a soft pink
color rose in her cheek.
What is it?' she said, gently
Nothing. Forgive me; you looked
SO strange, so dream-like, as if,
somehow, your mind were passing
out of my reach, and / wanted it to
come back, " he said, trying to smile.
All, yes; understand. 1t is like
that when | think of my mothers
people. They have strange history,
Some day l will tell you, but not
now" she added, slight shudder
passing over her, "The sun is grow

lance, fancy i can see the coast of

"Yes, We shall so5h be arriving.
