So many things of value are found in Alaska that new finds of strange things are common. The operator at the cable office at Seward took a walk before breakfast the other morning and found a man trying to dig up the cable where it came up on the beach, thinking he had found wire mine.

 Edward Clausen, for years connect ed with the Northern Commercial company at Fairbanks, has just come to the outside and says that the out. look for the mining industry in the Panama valley was never brighter "All we ask up there this year is rain," he said. "We have everything else. If it rains, the cleanup in the Panama will not only surprise the people out here, but will, by the riches put into the hands of the mining men, result in the opening of new creeks and districts"

Rubber FIGURE Mold.

THE latest discipline for the long-suf-
! fering stout woman is rubber mold
which is worn instead Of the corset. This
figure mold is made OF strong strips of
rubber elastic. held into corset shape by
light whalebones run into castings The
mold comes up well under the arms and
extends far down on the hips and gives
the figure very much the appearance of
the ordinary well cut corset. But the
new notion is that rubber worn constantly
over the flesh prevents the accumulation
of fatty tissue, and that slowly but surely
the flesh melts down to more becoming
proportions of slenderness.

French child over four years old al

around the figure, and some Of the i'm

passed beneath them and tied loosely at
one side Of the back.

St. Gall and Plauen are already over
their heads in orders, and desirable pat
terms are becoming higher in price and
harder to get as the season advances.
English eyelet work and the heavy
Richelieu effects in imitation of Italian
laces are the favorites, and dresses
trimmed with both sorts are shown to-
day.
The dainty little bridesmaid frock illus
trated is trimmed with Richelieu embroid-
cry in panels and transverse strips. The
material of this frock is the finest grade
of French lingerie null and every mother
will note tha simplicity of the model, the
skirt being laid in pleats between the en-
broidery panels to give graceful full
ness The arrangement OF the sash is
also worthy Of note deep beading has
been made between the two embroidery
strips which encfrcle the waist by sewing
in narrow pieces Of lace insertion. In
and out of these strips of insertion the
wide, soft sash ribbon is passed, and this
sash is tied just between the shoulders at
the back in a small bow, with long ends,
that fall to the hem of the dress.
Another pretty dress for younger
child is made of all-over eyclet embrofd-
cry, with edging to match. the edging
forming a deep bertha and two fuil
flounces on the short skirt. This Is
very dressy little frock. in spite Of its
apparent simplicity, for the material Is
own trimming. The short sleeves are
cool and charming for summer days or
for party wear In cooler weather, and the
neck may be left low, without the little
embroidery yoke If desired.

double skirt Of this little frock and the
rather high waistline and pleated bodice
give a quaint, old-fashioned look. which
is charming. This dress may be worn
with a tucked lawn guimpe on cool days.

practice work with strips OF some cneap
fabric, like paper cambric, which mas the
required crispness of texture. Limp oo"s
are seldom successful.
Hold the ribbon between the thumb ana
the finger of the left hand. about three
inches from one end, allowing the rest OF
the ribbon to hang downward. Double
up enough of the ribbon to make a loose
loop and hold the ribbon firmly under
the thmub, allowing the end now to pass
upward. Another loop may be made by
turning the ribbon downward, always
holding the place where the knot is to
come firmly between the thumb and fore
finger. When enough loops nave peen
made to form a pretty bow and the END
of the ribbon is turned upward pass the
end around from left to right back of the
forefinger, push 1t under and up In front,
forming knot, and draw 1t tight
~
The length of the loops may be gradu-
ated, If one side of the bow is to be
longer than the other. as in the case OF
a hat trimming. The chief requirements
in bowmakng are: First. to have plenty
of ribbon, and, second, to hold the loops
very securely until the final knot is tied
around them.' Shower bows for lingerie
and rosettes made of bebe ribbon require
a whole bolt of the ribbon; often two
such rosettes are made and then punched
together An ordinary hat bow of five
inch ribbon requires from three to four
yards.
Pretty coiffure bows are made of four
inch messaline or taffeta ribbon. with a
cluster of six short loops. the long end
of the ribbon remaining after the knot Is
pulled tight being passed around the hair
at the back or laid across the head in
fillet fashion.
Cabochons of ribbon for hat trimming
are very easy to make, and q rich quality
of double-faced satin ribbon or velvet
ribbon should be selected. Two-inch rib
bon Is wide enough for a cabochon. Ii
one possesses wider ribbon which Is fresh
enough to use 1t may be cut In two
through the center. First make founda-
ton for the cabochon by covering disc
Of crinoline with bit of silk. This disc
should be not more than three inches in
diameter, and around it's edge che ribbon
should be pleated thickly, two yards of
ribbon being none too much to pleat
round a three-inch disc. The pleating
may continue round and round. one row
over the other, until the center of the
cabochon is reached, or a large button or
metal ornament may cover the center and
disguise the inner edge of the pleating.
Several smart ribbon bows are illus
trated. and none of them should be too
difficult for the amateur to attempt. The

are particularly pretty for school and.

not soiling easily. These ginghams. with
their bright, soft colors, are always favor

excellently. The plaid gingham dress
should be made with the, utmost plain

Many mothers make up these school
and play dresses in the envelope style,
which may be spread out fiat on the
ironing table. The dress is in two parts,
front and back, the sections being con-

to the stock or collar by means OF two
long. round-headed pins. one thrust in at
either side. Even when the neck bow Is
provided with one of the patent fasteners
which hook to the collar button the pins
will insure a trimmer effect. Two pins
should always be used. The neck bow
pinned only at one side is morally certain
to get askew before the day is over.
The first bow shown is made of striped
satin ribbon, with the ends cut in sharp
points. The second bow will require the
assistance of a needle and thread, for
after the loops are made each is caught
'dog-eared' appearance. This bow will
be very trim and smart with tailored
shirt waists and linen collars.
Beneath these two bows is dressy two-
colored satin ribbon. The darker bow is
made first, with short. full loops above
the knot and longer ones below. The
lighter ribbon. knotted at intervals. is
then tied around the knot of the larger
bow.
In the other photographs are shown
three smart hat trimmings of ribbon. For
child's hat there is big bow of wide
taffeta ribbon. along the edges of which
are stitched folded bands of plaid ribbon
an inch wide. Through this plaid border
is run a. light wire which serves to hold
the big loops crisply In place.
Dang11nS loops are very smart on the
sides of the bonnet and basket
shapes and a pretty bow to set just back
of the ears on either side of one of these
hats is pictured. Such bow is made
of series OF loops and knots the loops
at one side being cut to give the effect
Of pointed ends.
The cabochon trimming in the form OF
a daisy is exceedingly pretty. and some
hats have several of these flowers set
close together around the crown. Three
tones of green ribbon were used to make
the petals Of this daisy. each row of
loops being sewed to the foundation disc
of crinoline. The petals grow lighter
toward the center. and a button mold COW
cred with the darker ribbon makes q
pretty finish for the ribbon flower.
Many pretty hat trimmings may be
made of discarded ribbons IL care is taken
in the renovating. Ribbons should be
lightly washed in warm soapy water, and /
shaken-no squeezed-dry. then laid be-
tween towels so that the moisture may
then be pressed between strips of paper
or thin lawn when quite damp. A hot
