A Betting Jumper.

Embroidered linen betting, in white
and color, may be bought by the yard,
and very clever little lady has used
it to make herself a jumper. A dou-
BILE thickness over the shoulder, from
the waist line in the front to the
waist line in the back, is the founda-
tion of the garment, while few
straps across the back and front give
the whole very jumper-like appear
ance.
The four loops at the waist line
formed by the shoulder straps are
used to slip the belt through, so when
it is worn with white skirt and
blouse the effect is of one of the pop
ular one-piece dresses.
1t is just such an arrangement that
makes it possible to wear a blouse
and skirt without a coat.-Pittsburg

wasn't being kept busy enough for
the good of the State, so he issued a
decree that all unmarried women
slash their gowns on one side or the

AS failure to obey his mandate
meant death by one or another of the
pleasant Spartan methods, the COM
mand was carried out with such swift
ress that soon the license clerk de-
manded more pay. Strange that the
same skirt forbidden by law in France
should have been enforced by law in
Sparta. And the Spartan debutantes
slashed their skirts much more freely
than the most daring matron would
dream of doing to-day, even with a
drop skirt stopping the gap.-Pitts-

The Needs of the Young.

pie attending Christ Presbyterian

learned that the church is to have a
new adjunct of surprising novelty

room is to be complete with coy
corners, screens, chaperons and dim
lights. Everything to encourage and
making of acquaintanceships be-
tween young men and women will be
supplied in the new counting room. I"
The room will be built. says the
pastor, the Rev. J.. e. Snyder. just as
soon as property adjoining the pres
ent edifice can be bought. The new
structure will be an institutional an

room dominating In interest.
1--WE ought to have a counting
room. for this is a church for young
people," said the pastor. 1T is right
that we should make every provision
for their needs as they grow up. They
should not have to go beyond the
church for any essential. and a place
to court is an essential. Il will sup
