Alcoholic Atmosphere Has Disturb
ing Effects on Strangers.
There can be no doubt that the air
of distilleres, wine and spirit vaults
must contain appreciable quantities OF
alcohol The stranger on his first
visit to the great sherry bodegas in
the south of Spain, experiences at
first decided sense of exhilaration
with quickenins of the pulse, follow
ed by a narcotic effect a feeling Of
languor and headache. In the great
brandy stores of Cognac, again, to
some neOp'e the air is sickening.
1t might be naturally expected that
the more volatile constituents OF
wines and spirits would be the first
20 evaporate into the air. and possibly
the volatile others would thus pre-
vail. II has been said that the effect
OF inhaling the air of the sherry
vaults is more marked than when
other spurious liquids are kept in
store.
Air. therefore impregnated with
the yapors of spirits and wines. must
have deteriorating effect on the
health And according to an examin-
alton made of the air of a distillery,
Il would appear that no less than an
ounce OF proof spirit or one-haH
ounce Of absolute alcohol may be
present I'm five cubi, feet OF air And
since this alcohol would gain access
to the circulation through the lungs
It follows that special arrangements OF
ventilation are an absolute necessity.

Eight Gorcd skirt.

The skirt that is made to give a
panel effect is one of the very latest.
This one is snug fitting over the hips,
while IT provides abundant flare about
the feet, and It consequently is grace
full and attractive In the extreme. In
the illustration 1t is made of linen and
is trimmed with a simple banding, but
the panels allow of treatment of va
rious sorts. Heavy lace insertion or
applique could be used as a finish or
bands OF the material braided or en-
broidered. The model is just as avail
able for the thin batistes, lawns and
the like as It is for the heavier linens,
pongees and wool fabrics, and conse-
Quently is a generally useful and sat-
isfactory one.
The skirt is cut in eight cores and
there are pleated portions Joined to
the front. side and back cores, which
are cut off to form the panels. The
closing is made invisibly at the left
OF the back.

THEIR LINE Is GONE OUT THROUGH

Nv Maud King NIurnb,

BY Maud King Murphy.
Dear stars, whose splendid shining makes
The night too beautiful for sleep,
The spirit with the h. axes,
To watch the ordered course you keep.
I trace again those stored shapes
The Greeks knew in their nightly
march,
Gazing from wild, sea -beaten capes
Through the deep sky's unmeasured
arch.
And some 1 greet by ancient names
The lonely Arab wandcrer knows;
His sky is throbbing with your flames,
While, wide beneath, the desert glows.
Your clear beam down the oaks dark aisle
Lighted the Druid's countenance:
Priests by the summer-nooded Nile
Hailed and acclaimed your sure ad-
vance.
But not for their sakes are you dear;
Not for their sakes I wake to bless
The planets slver-shining sphere,
Orion's golden perfectness.
No, but for these who watch with me
So many happy evenings through,
Searching your heart Of mystery.
Now while they sleep. l gaze anew,
And think how i'm the unknown ways
That claim their feet i'm years to come,
Each night above them YOU will raise
The loved. familiar roof of home.

BLESSED LADY.
A Tribute to the Distinguished In
ventor of Ice Cream.


Ventor of Ice Cream.
Dolly Madison was famous for her
beauty grace and social charm, but
she has never been given due credit
for her greatest achievement-the In
vention of ice cream. For the chron.
iclers tell us that she was the first
to serve this national delicacy. The
wife of the President must have been
wonderful woman. gifted in every
thing from diplomacy to cooking.
The men have long suspected that
some woman invented both ice cream
and matrimony, for men for genera
lions have been inveigled into both.
Let boy and girl go out walking,
just anywhere, and suddenly the boy
will find himself face to face with
soda fountain or an ice cream par
lor It's just like a man who starts
along counting aimlessly who sudden
ly finds himself engaged. He doesn't
understand just how it happened. But
he usually marches up bravely and
finds that he enjoys both matrimony
and ice cream.
If every girl who eats a saucer of
ice cream or a "sundae" would put
penny in the plate to erect a monu-
ment to the inventress OF ice cream,
they could build tower so tall that
it would make the Washington Monu-
ment look like a fencepost. While IL
was Dolly Madison who first made ice
cream, they tell us it was the wife OF
young naval officer, Nancy Johnson,
who invented the ice cream freezer
She deserves as much credit as the
Presidents wife. They were one IN
achievement; they should be one in
fame and mortahty.-Baltimor

Horace Simpson had taken to him

society of what he had learned. with
parrot-like aptneSS, to call those "vul-
gar Americans and had confined his
social intercourse solely TO such of the
European 'haut ION" as he could man
age to scrape acquaintance with.
And this last was a somewhat uphill
task, for. whatever else one may say
about the English. they are inclined to
view with very little favor the pos

money. True. there are exceptions,
and these but prove the rule.
