The Military Closing
The duchess, or, as it is sometimes
called, the military closing. forms an
attractive finish for the front of a waist.
The effect is of two forward-turning
tucks, each one inch wide, with their
fold-edges meeting at the center-front.
The actual closing, with buttons and
buttonholes, is effected under these
tucks; hem two inches wide when fin
ished is made on the edge Of the right
front, and hem one inch wide on the
left. Three-eighths of an inch allow
ance should be made for seams and turn
unders, consequently for two-inch- wide
hem two and three-eighths inches should
be turned under at the front edze, the
three-eighths forming the turn-under at
the edge of the hem where il is stitched.

ren. There was an impatient word,
quick blow, and then the mother
stepped forward to interfere. Leave
me alone!" shouted the child an
grily. IN do as / please. I'm in
License Town." And on the very
threshold of License Town a shadow
rested on mothers face.
Ihen, as Bert watched and waited,
She-the Creature of his dreams
came. More beautiful than ever
she looked with the bloom of health
on her cheek and the sparkle of love
in her eye. Under the intoxication
OF the ringing bells, he took her
hand and told his love in words of
fire. She assured him of her love,
but when he spoke of marriage, she
turned laughingly away. I'VE can't
marry here. Don't you know that
the marriage ceremony is a prohibi-
tory law? 1t prohibits all Others
There are no marriages in License
own. 1t is quite right, too" she
added. "A prohibitory law always
creates a desire to break that law.
If | were compelled by law to love
only you would probably fall in
love at once with some one else,"
AS she spoke, a low-browed, evil
faced man caught her in his arms
and pressed his brutal mouth to her
rosy lips. Bert started forward in
blind rage, but the man laughed
boldly. "Pll kiss her if | like! There
are no prohibitions in License
Town" Then the surging crowd
carried both Her and the man on
ward.
Bert, engaged with his own
troubles, had not noticed the changes
going on around him. Now for the
first time he noticed that the bells
were out of tune, and instead of the
merry, musical chimes were sending
forth harsh, discordant notes. The
faces around were no longer bright
and smiling The men were coarse
and brutalized, while the women
were worse, and the children hid In
terror at every approaching foot
! step
Stop thief! stop thief" woman
called out He mas stolen my
purse!" Bert started to her as
sstance, but was showed to one side
by two men in deadly conflict. Then,
as they struggled, one drew knife
and plunged it to the heart of his
opponent.
Murder! Punish the murderer -
Bert shouted to the mayor, who
stood calmly looking on.

GOLDEN EAGLE TO
KEEP WATCH OVER
A. Y.P. EXPOSITION

No more beautiful scene can be i'm
agined than the outlook from the foot
of the Alaska monument on the
grounds of the Alaska Yukon-Pacinc
exposition. Standing in front of the
great building of the United states
Government, the enormous golden eagle
en- his nerch of northern gold keeps
watch over the most perfect exposition
citv that has ever been reared. Under
his eve are gathered the rarest WORKS
of mans skill and art ever assembled,
and these find shelter in magnificent
group of permanent and temporary
buillings whose architectural design
and clever construction exempliry the
very highest of mans inventive aoii-
ity. A.
northern ATTITUDES ends, the beauties OF
the spot show their greatest charm.
With the fading of day comes the TO-
nance of evening and the millions OF
lamps made brilliant by electrlclty
flash over a land such as FAIRIES mgnt
have built. The rushing, tumpllng
torrents of the cascades pour their
enormous volume of water over bed
covered by electric bulbs, and from the
ouiet pool of Geyser basin are reflected
as in a mirror. Electroliers OF French
design are lavishly scattered beneath
the trees, and from their clear rays the
fields of flowers are seen in added hues.
The outlines of the many exhibltlon
palaces are startlingly delineated IN
brilliant color, and from over the wa
tiers of the lakes flash the twinkling
lanterns of thousands of floating pleas
ure craft
From the oriental district of the ex-
position come the weird songs or the
strange east, and over all rise unfamil-
ial sounds and calls which speak or
lands as different from ours as are the
neonle who create them. The beauties
of the fair are many. but it is at night
they are at their best
