POINTS OF FRENCH LINGERIE.
The New Undergarment IS Worn
Under the Pettieostiess Gown.

Lingerie dresses for grownups are
being made of sheerest null without
a scrap of lace Of any kind, but COW
cred with very bold floral design done
in white and richly raised. The de-
sign is massed about the torso, bust,
waist and hips, the skirt set on to the
bodice with a beading and a sash
wound loosely twice about the figure,
but weighted at the ends. This sash
Is in printed silk with the design
massed on the ends above deep fringe,
The neck and hem Of the null gown
is trimmed simply with hem-stitching
and tucks, and the short embroidered
sleeve is straight and wide enough to
reveal the arm bare to the shoulder,
its hem plain.
Lingerie fans in handkerchief EN-
broidery mounted on sandal wood are
the newest things, and most fascinat-
ing Of all possible combinations Is a
single garment to wear over silk skirt
and corset, and made entirely of mar
row encircling bands Of lace set to-
gether with crocheted linen stitch.
This garment consists of corset cover,
pantaloons drawn about the knee with
frills and ribbon, and a short. scant
skirt that does not pass the knee, the
entire thing Is lace bands save for
half a dozen narrow bands Of white
null let in about the waist and hips.
This garment is hardly thicker than a
handkerchief, and yet it is enough to
prevent the corset and garters from
making a mark through the petticoat.

Washington-Faring forth from his
old Kentucky home a youth of the
name CT Wade Fl. Ellis appeared on
the Cincinnati horizon in the early
eighties He soon engaged himself
in chasing the elusive local item for
newspaper there. In the little Jour
nalistic world Of that Ohio city they
still tell what a hard time young
Ellis had. He frequently found him
self in the awful presence Of the local
editor, trying to explain how the item
had eluded him.
Time passed and a few months ago
Ellis, still comparatively a young man,
began to loom on the horizon Of Wash
ington. If he had Indifferent success
in hunting news. he had done better
in hunting the octopus. President
Roosevelt wanted to know about him.
Ellis came to Washington for a CON
sutation at the White House about
federal trust busting, and soon there

dental Candidate Taft were in need

They sent for Ellis. They came,
joined in the consultations, and hiked
away to he sad sea waves OF Virginia
Beach. There he composed the more
important portion Of the platform.
During a lull IN the stressful days Of
the Chicago convention he confided to
q friend that he wrote his best after

into his own in advance of numerous
Ohio falthfuls and may not have
to wait for the new president TO re-
view the inaugural parade on Pennsyl-
Vania avenue. That is probably un-
true No one in Washington is ready
to believe that Attorney General
f'onaparte will relinQuish an Office of

But Ellis may be, some say will be,
Bonaparte's successor.
In 1902, when he was near The end

recently broke all previous records for
climbing Mont Blanc by making the
trip to the top and back from Grands
Mulets in 71s hours
Prof. Hobbs has performed many
other mountain climbing feats, but
regards the Mont Blanc ascension his
proudest effort
He has made several trips abroad
in the last dozen years or more for
the especial purpose Of studying the
geological formation Of mountains,
and was present at Mt. Vesuvius at
the time Of its last eruption, two
years ago. At that time he earned
the title Of the crazy American be-
cause Of the lack Of fear he showed
in going as near to the crater Of the
volcano as possible, even before the
eruptions had ceased
Prof. Hobbs was graduated from the
Worcester Polytechnic institute with
the class of 1883, and Immediately
after graduation entered the Johns
Hopkins university in Baltimore,
where he pursued a four years course
and received the degree Of Phi. d. He
then entered Harvard college for a
post graduate course, and after com
pleting his studies there studied in
German universities for several years.
He has been professor Of geology at
Ann Arbor for two years previous to
which he was connected with the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin.

Halt Finished EmhrnIdnrv.

For quite long time the needlework
shops have been selling pillow tops,
doilies. centerpieces and table covers
partly embroidered, so the beginner IN
the art merely has to copy the work
already begun.
This Is particularly easy method
for the elderly woman whose eyeslght
is not sufficiently good to choose the
shades OF the silks for herself. II Is
too, much more encouraging to finish
work already begun. It gives an i'm

lacking when just the stamped ma
