There is no waist quite so useful as
the simple tailored one, and this model.
would be charming made from linen
or soft finished pique, from the pom
gee that is so seryiceabIe and so
fashionable, from the thinner madras
and also from silk or from washable
flannel 1t makes most satisfactory
model whatever the material may be,
and it suits both the separate waist
and the gown. The. tucks that are
stitched for their entire length give
a tapering effect and the wide box
pleat allows successful use of the or
namental buttons that make such a
feature of the late season In this
case white linen is trimmed with big
pearl buttons and worn with collar
of striped lavender and white.
The waist is made with a fitted
lining, which can be used or omitted
as liked, and consists of the fronts
and back. There are tucks over the
shoulders that are exceedingly be-
coming, and there are narrow tucks
at both centre front and centre back.
The closing is made inyisibly at the
left of the front. The sleeves are in
regulation shirt waist style, with
straight cuffs and the. neck-band,
over which can be worn any style of
collar that may be liked, finishes the
neck.

simple wool fabric, or from pongee
or some material of the sort if a more
dressy frock is wanted. In this case
the blouse is trimmed on its edges,
and the trimming is extended over
the centre front of the entire dress,
but whether this last shall be used or
omitted is entirely matter for indi-
vidual taste to decide.
It consists of the over blouse and

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or wom-
an is usually eager to be busy at
some useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion
get hold of one, and all endeavor be-
comes burden.
"a year ago, after recovering from
an operation writes a Mich. lady,
my stomach and nerves began to
give me much trouble.
Sat times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times 1 had no ap-
petite whatever. The food took did
not nourish me and I grew weaker
than ever.
''I lost interest In everything and

trife would upset me and bring on

exercise was out of the question.

but did not believe what read, at

with thick white eyebrows, and on
the cheeks and on each side of the
eyes were thousands and thousands
of fine wrinkles, falling into deeper
lines round the. mouth, where a
drawn appearance gave him the look
of uncertainty, or it might be pain.
Arthur was struck hv his CONVEX
sation. He was discussing with Mr..
Denstone some of the great specula-
tions at that moment afloat. He
spoke with extreme shrewdness, keen
observation, evidently vast expert
ence; yet now and then some word
escaped him, some sentence. some
expression, which betrayed an un-
certainty, an indecision probably for
efgn to his character. 1t was the
same with his eye. At first sight Ar
thur thought it peculiarly sharp,
piercing and keen, till he observed
now and then the uncertain wavering
look come over it, and he drew his
own conclusions.
Aunt Betsy withdrew at last, and
after brief interval, Arthur begged
leave to Join her and leave the two
old gentlemen over their coffee.
Presently the two gentlemen came
in, and very soon Monsieur Rigaud
took leave. He turned kindly to Ar
thur as he said goodnight, and asked
him in French whether he understood
his native language. Arthur an
swered glibly enough, blushing as
only Englishmen can blush, and the
Frenchman took leave.
81 am glad to hear that you can
talk French, Arthur" said his uncle.
ut is a most useful branch of educa-
ton, and may double yo1r value to
me-"
This was the first allasion he had
made to the clerkship, and 1t caused
Arthur's heart to bound.

will work at it; but my French is
self-taught to great degree. I can
write and read, but am not very
good hand at conversation, and lola
says my accent is barbarous."
1--WE must remedy that" said Mr..
Denstone rather absently; then sud-
denly, THAT is very remarkable
man-that Monsieur Rigaud-he has
keen, shrewd head.
HAS had, should have said," an
swered his nephew, fancying that
there was an interrogatory tone in his
uncle's voice.
"How do you mean q"
at was a mere transient observa-
tion," said Arthur. ~He gave me the
impression Of having lost his nerve.
"Ah!" Mr.. Denstone paused a mo-
ment; then he said, you are close
observer, young man, but I fancy
you have hit the right nail upon the
head. Monsieur Rigaud is an enor-
mously rich man; but he has been
selling out of everything actually
everything. 1 don't believe he trusts
the Funds" And he laughed at his
own wit.
"That is curious, Uncle Alfred"
"Very curious; and what does he

CHAPTER III.

Two or three days passed, during
which the liking between uncle and
nephew grew satisfactorily, and as
for Aunt Betsy, as she expressed it
herself, "the boy made an old fool
of her."
Mr.. Denstone called his nephew
into his room one day and began to
talk seriously on business matters.
"The clerkship 1 proposed to offer
you Is not yet vacant, Arthur" he
said. "Mr. Evans, the gentleman you
are to succeed, still clings to it in
spite of failing health; but it cannot
be- for long, and meanwhile wish
you to work at foreign languages,
and to waste your time as little as
possible. / suppose" with some hest
tation, "you have not much money"
"Yes, sir, thank you, have plen-
ty," said Arthur, eagerly.
Indeed! understood you really
had none, else" and he touched
the sleeve of Arthur's coat so sig
nificantly, that the color rushed into
his face. p
II am sorry, sir" said he, "but
that must wait little. The money
alluded to was ten pounds Aunt
Betsy gave me. She is awfully good
to me"
Mr.. Denstone smiled Hum" he
said. $50 you call that plenty"
%You would call it plenty if you
knew how much it is going to %, /"
said Arthur, gleefully.
well, we'll; but plenty or not, you
must be decently dressed. I will
order your clothes myself, and I will
now begin your salary, so that you
will start fair. But if+I begin your
salary at once, it is on condition that
you do not waste your time, which is
now mine, but work to fit yourseli
eventually to undertake my French
correspondence"
| While they were speaking, Mon.

thur would have retreated, but hi:
uncle desired him to remain. He
had been pleased with the acutenes:

All in the Sleeve.

In the new sleeves lie the most
novel of the waist features. They
vary in length, fulness, shape and
method of trimming. They are
plain or full; tight from wrist to
shoulder, or pulled, or capped, or
slashed, and filled in with net or flet.
They are extravagantly trimmed or
perfectly unadorned.

WHAT"NERVE" MEANS
IT BASEBALL GAME

Columbus club has had to stand
more knocks from home crowds
than any player | know of. Bill
kept plugging away, never flinched,
and never allowed his game to de-
teriorate.
Grover Land showed Bill Armour
that he had plenty of nerve in
game at Minneapolis one day two
seasons ago. The team was giving
a fine exhibition of club swinging.
Finally, with a couple of men on
bases, a situation where hit
would win the game, Armour
looked around for man to send in
to hit for the pitcher
He cast his eye up and down the
bench, but before he could pick his
man, Grover grabbed his bat and
said: bill, let me go up there, |
can hit this fellow
OF course Bill let him go. He
made good but whether he did or
not, for him to volunteer showed he
had nerve.
These incidents show that it
takes something besides natural
ability for a player to make good
in a pinch, and the fellow who can
deliver when called upon to do so,
is the one you have to hand it to
for having the nerve. e..

ARGUES LOCAL OPTION

fare at heart and desire an i'm
provement in the government, rem
dering the human existence less
difficult and as comfortable as pos
sible, should unite to suppress the
horrible vision of the liquor traffic
by voting at the coming election for
the nominees pledged to effective
local option legislation and in
dorsed by the AntiSaloon League.
But the prohibitionists say: THE
majority has no right to force
moral wrong on a minority. We
can not compromise with evil"
That is correct, but that moral
wrong was long ago forced on us,
not by a majority, but by a minor
ity. A compromise already exists.
Suppose the Federal government
enacts a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture, sale
and importation of alcoholic liquors
we have no jurisdiction over the
bordering countries. Canada and
Mexico would continue TO dispense
liquors at the bars. That is local
option with country as the unit.
Such course is favored by the
prohibitionists. Consequently local
option with a smaller unit should
not be opposed, especially when
that opposition derogates us from
the temperance movement and un-
consciously leads us to assist the
liquor interests in suppressing or
postponing legislation efficient to
diminish the consumption of liquor
and the evils allied with the traffic.
Further we might say: If all
vote according to their convictions,
we would get constitutional prohi-
bition. That too is quite correct,
but somehow economic questions
supersede morals. There are in
the United States 100000 people
employed in the liquor traffic
through no particular liking but
solely for profit or an existence.
Business men, as a rule, foster an
erroneous belief that the traffic slim
ulates and creates business along
other lines; workmen are also Ia
boring under decisions that 1t is
good for business, it keeps 100000
people out of competition. These
theories have been proved undis-
putably fallacious, by the increased
industrial activity in the districts
after they went dry through state
prohibition or local option. A grad
ual discharge is economically pref

100000 people to enter other occu-
pations.
