illustration linen is trimmed with SOU
tache braid and with banding of por-
celain blue, this use of color on white
being one of the notable features of
the season.
The blouse is made with fronts,
centre-front and back. The fronts
are tucked for their entire length,
the outermost tucks meeting those in
the back, and it is beneath these
tucks that the kimono sleeves are
attached. The centre-front is simply
arranged over the fronts and is
hooked into place beneath the left
edge, the fronts meeting at the centre
beneath. The sleeves are of moderate
fulness and gathered into straight
cuffs. There is prettily shaped belt
and the stock collar completes the
neck edge.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and one
four yards twenty-one, twenty-four or

yards forty-four inches wide, with
four yards of banding and soutache,

OUR THIRST SATlSFIERS
OF THE DESERT.


All devices for allaying the dis
comfort arising from the dryness of
the mucuous membranes, such as
carrying bullets or pebbles in the
mouth, chewing grass. or piece of
rubber, are wholly futile in meeting
the serious thirst problem. The rel
ative humidity often falls to five per
cent. in the Southwestern deserts,
and in temperature of over hun
dred degrees, the evaporation from
a vessel of water standing in the
open may be as much as an inch
day. The amount thrown off by the
skin is correspondingly great, and II
the loss is not made good. thirst en-
sues, and ten hours lack of water
may thicken the tongue so that
speech is impossible.
The Indian and the desert traveller
often seek relief in the juices of
plants when water fails. The fruits
of some of the prickly pears are
slightly juicy; the fronds of the same
plant, or the great trunks of the sa-
guaro contain much sap, but for the
most part, it is bitter and while it
would save life in extremity, yet it is
very unpleasant to use. The barrel
cactus. or bisnaga (Echinocactus)
however, contains within its spiny
cylinders fair substitute for good
water. To get at this juice one must
be armed with a stout knife or an
axe with which to decapitate the
plant, which is done by cutting away
section from the top. Next a green
stake is obtained from scme shrub or
tree that is free from bitter sub
stances, and with this or with the axe
the white pith of the interior is
pounded to pulp and cavity that
would hold Two gallons is formed.
Squeezing the pulp between the
hands into this cavity will give from
three to six pints of a drinkable
liquid that is far from unpleasant,
and is generally few degrees cooler
than the air. Scouting Indians have
long used the bisnaga to save carry
ing a heavy supply of water, and a
drink may be obtained in this manner
by a skilled operator in five to ten
minutes.-From "A Voyage Below
Sea Level" by Dr.. D. 7. MacDougal,

Amazing Garb of Parisiennes.

No wonder that in the shadow of
the new hats New York women seem
to be blind to other Paris whims of
the moment. No longer the frou-
frou of underskirts is heard. Silk
petticoats are scorned by the up-to-
date Parisiennes. Fashion now per-
mits only tights underneath an un-
lined skirt, so scant and tight fitting
e~''e n1rlost like pair of
t,Eare Sompan this often is worn
a Directoire coat with tails almost
- long as the skirt. A high, stiff
kf encircfes the neck. These ruffs
are things of beauty and of price,
the cheapest costing about SO, the
finest five times as much. They are
made in brilliant colors or of plain
white with shaded edges, wired up
stiff and high, with a ribbon through
the middle tied in big bow. From
this Pierrot ruff emerges a deadly
pale face, for it is considered unfash-
ionable to have colors. With bright
tred, rouged lips and nostrils red
dened, the resemblance to Pierrot IS
heightened. A huge hat jammed
down on the head and almost touch
ing the ruff at the back finishes the
startling picture of the modern Paris
society woman.-New York Press.

OVERRIDING Your Duty.

1t Is wise woman who knows
where to draw the line on just how
much duty requires her to do in this
world. 1t is really not helpful to
yourself or to others to do more than
your share under any circumstances.
There are women who always tell
you how tired they are, and how
much they have to do and how little
time they have for the really pleas
ant things of life.
= If they are young, they wish they
had time for the theatre or a little
social event. If they are married
they wish they had the energy to be
clever and bright when their hus-
bands are not at home in the even

friends they had to give up.
They sigh over all the missed joys
with the remark, IF I only didn't
have SO much to do to keep me from
all these happy things"

be that they are OVERRIDING their duty.

Early Rising Habit

Here is good news for the man who
likes to sleep and has been ashamed
OF himself for it because he has been
told all his life that it is an unfailing
sign OF lazinesa. A prominent Amer
lean physician, writing in the Amer
lean Magazine, says there is no ade-
quate support for the impression that
the early hours are more wholesome
and healthy than later hours in the
day. A man who can get several
hours OF good sound sleep in the early
morning is certainly more refreshed
and better equipped for work than he
who rises feeling that sleep has been
incomplete and unsatisfying. Exces-
sive early rising is with most people
nothing more than custom inherited
from agricultural ancestors.

ut is strange fact that the most

the depressing tendency of a single
older one. How much less, then,
can one young person counterbalance
two elders? 1t is about all two
youthful persons can do to overcome

younger would have the stronger in
fiuence, but such, unfortunately, is
not the case. 1t is more difficult to
