Black Chiffon Waists.

The black chiffon blouse over white or
over a silk in Persian colors is even
more popular now than at the end Of
last season, when It was hailed as a
novelty. The yelled effect is more pleas
ing and satisfactory in a waist than a
skirt, since it gives a color effect which
cannot be obtained by pipings or bands.
There is a beautiful messaline, woven In
the designs and colorings OF the famous
India shawls, which Is used extensively
in combination with black for waists.
The plain black silk waists are worn a
great deal. The smartest Of them have
a narrow round yoke OF white lace,
which gives them dressy appearance,
relieving the somberness of the black.

The Tunic.

The tunic continues in favor for fall
styles. It is usually very long, though
short TUNES have been seen in Paris: and
II is frequently caught into band below
the knees.
Sometimes il is OF self-material, but
mere frequently Of some such sheer fabric
as marquisette. silk. voille, or chiffon.
Overdresses, very much akin to TUNES,
are OF sheer fabrics also. and are espe-
cially popular for afternoon and evening
gowns
The chief use Of the tunie as trimming
or ornament seems to be the yelling OF
the popular Oriental effects. Some times
the tunie Is edged or banded with the
fabric IL wells.

BEAUTY IN ARCHITECTURE.
The Ten Most Beautiful Buildings In
This Country.

The Zen Most Beautliui Buildings IN
This Country.
From the ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
Which are the ten most beautiful
buildings in the United States? A re-
cent voting contest of architects and
architectural students gave this list: The
Capitol and the Congressional Library
in washington: the Public Library and
Trinity Church in Boston; Columbia Ii
brary. Trinity Church, ST Patrick's
Cathedral the City Hall, and Madison
Square Garden in New York. and the
Vanderbilt residence. ~Biltmore. in North
Carolina
All OF these buildings are IN the East
Three OF them are libraries and three
are churches. one capitol, ore city hail.
one place OF amusement, and one resi-
dence complete the list. Not a single
State capitol. or theater, or gallery Of
art. or monumental museum has a place.
1t Is hardly likely that the vote taken
in the contest was fully representative
OF the country. Il is an Eastern judg-
ment, expressed by architects, and the
favor appears to have run 10 grandiose
rather than TO beautiful buildings. A
Western vote, OF vote OF artists or OF
amateurs, would doubtless have given a
different verdict in several cases

The pleasures of the imagination have
been so much deseanted upon by writers,
both in prose and poetry. that one might
think the best thing TO do was to cult
vate all the imagination possible In order
TO get the most joy out of life. But
there is possibility OF too much imagi-
nation. One can dwell in realms OF fancy
too long, or look upon life in so imagi-
native and impractical a way that all
ones affairs go askew One needs TO
hold the reins OF fancy with tight, Arm
hand.
II the head OF the house has too much
imagination. he is apt to be what Is

He can't settle down TO the dull, prosaic
routine that brings bread and butter for

castles in the air, in thinking out Won
derful schemes that will realize millions.
His imagination paints these things IN
the rosiest colors. The fact that he con-
tinually fails does not deter him. His
imagination grows by what 1t feeds upon,
And as one castle crumbles, another still

BUSINESS SCHOOL NOW

There has been an effort the past
two weeks to establish a school of
business in vinita. Some encourage

principal, yet not sufficient to justify
him in locating the school, and unless
additional interest is received by him
within the next day or two. the school
will not be opened.

the school for vinita, is both an ex-
perienced accountant and teacher.
