Fancy Waist With Deep GirdIc.

Everything that gives the snort
waist line and the consequent Empire
suggestion is greatly in vogue just
now, and this blouse is n OF the
~prettiest yet to have appeared. 1t
includes a garniture which can be
made from the flet or from all-oVer
lace, as in this instance, or from SILK
or from contrasting material embroid-
cred or braided with soutache, or,
indeed, from almost anything that
fancy may dictate. The little trim
ming of balls is an effective n and
greatly in vogue, but that finish also
Is optional, for the blouse itself IS
adapted to all the thinner, fashion,
able fabrics which can be tucked and
pleated so successfully. The sleeves
are novel and distinctive and the
blouse is altogether n Of exception
al charm. 1t is made with a lining
and the girdle is attached to it SO
that the entire garment is closed IN
visibly at the back.
The waist consists of the founda-
ton lining, the blouse and sleeve
portions, cut in one, and the garni-
ture. The chemisette is faced onto
the lining, and when a transparent
effect is desired this last is cut away

Eeepino the Heart Tender.

We must keep our hearts tender.
Do you ask me how to do this? The
answer is very simplicity putting
ourselves constantly in helpful rela'
tion to others, says DR.. l.. A. Banks.
Do the kind deed on every oppor-
tunity, and you may be sure that the
kind feeling will soon come to be
natural to you. The difficulty is that
we often curb III kind feelings and
restrain them. We shut back the
sympathetic word that is on our lips
until our tongues become dumb to
that kind of speech. Give your heart
a chance to show its kindness. Give
your lips the opportunity to speak
the sympathetic word. Give your
hands and feet free will to go on their
mission of kindness and cheer, and
you will soon see that your heart is
growing tender and mellow, so that
none rejoices and you are not glad,
and none is sorrowful and You are
not stricken.

Horses by the Hundred.

The horse is one of the most i'm.
portant factors in modern warfare
and his education for this purpose is
undertaken at great expense by every
nation in the world.
In times of peace only two-thirds
of the cavalry of the British army is
horsed. In times of war-such as
during the Boer War-as many as
100000 horses have been required at
short notice. Germany would need
about 100000 horses for cavalry
and artillery to put her colossal
forces in the field, while France could
do with 100000.
Britain's bill for army horses is
estimated at about 100000 a year.
France spends upward of 100000
annually, while Germany, it has been
calculated, must pay at least $780,

What a Young Lady Stared At.

A number of young women grouped
on the pavement on Main street,
above Schoolhouse lane, Germantown,
on Saturday evening, gazing intently
at an overhanging sign illuminated
brightly by encircling incandescent
bulbs, attracted the attention OF
some pedestrians. The sign, OF
large proportions, was suspended
over the sidewalk from the old-fash-
toned stone building which a century
or more ago was known as the King
of Prussia Inn, the, building being
one of the best known landmarks OF
that historic suburb. Part OF this
structure is now occupied by a tom
serial artist named Hug, of German
extraction, and his unusually attrac-
tive sign reads. Hug the barber"

Rents in City Of Mexico.

1.-THE prices that are asked for
rental Of houses in the City of Mexico
are something appalling to Amer,
icans," said George T. Lessing, Of st,
Louis.
II expected to remain there the
better part of the year and thought
I'd get a house and send for my fam
lily. With this idea I went forth in
search Of a domicile, but was stag,
gered at the cost. For the common
est kind of a two-story dwelling the
agents wanted from $3.50 to 5000 q
month, and from that up to $4,000
a month for those Of more pretentious
architecture. 1t is true that these
figures are in Mexican money, which
is just about one-half the value OF
our currency, but wen with this al
lowance the rents are far in excess OF
those charged in the cities of the
United { tates. In many other re.
spects Ii; Ing in Mexico is very reason
able. "-13altimore American.

The old hand sat back on the car

Why kid he said, it's nothing
to swallow a tack. Every profess

dozen or so daily. It's a thing that
