AN OLD AND NEW SHOWER
Unique Affair That viii Be Not Only
Gratifying kut Profitable
to Bride.

In the case of q bride who will not
go to housekeeping" as the country
folk say, or whose relations have al.
ready we'll supplied her with household
necessaries, 1t Is a pretty and new
idea to get up a shower which EN-
bodies the various fortunate emblems
embodied In the old rhyme Of happy
weddings:
Something old and something new.
Something borrowed and something
blue.
The possibilities of such a shower
are not Immediately apparent, perhaps.
but after a little cogitation 1t will be
found to apply to articles which suit
the purse string of almost any friend
and certain to mean qualification to
any bride.
For instance, among the things old
there are antiques Of every kind-sil.
yer, furniture. china. and, last but not
least, old lace. Prints come within
the scope of this rhyme. SO do copies
of English classics. which are cid.
however @ the edition.
The possibilities of the something
new clause are limitless and can be
stretched to cover any kind of novelty
that Is desirable, from a 10-cent appli.
ance TO an innovation costing a gooaly
I'M.
The borrowed item is not so difficult
as 1t would at first appear, for there
are books of quotations., which are
certainly borrowed; any pretty thing
In tortoise shell or other shell lie Dor.
rOwed from the original p%ossessor
There are plaster casts or marble
copies OF famous statues and photo
graphs OF old masters. and inexpensive
but capital copies OF old willow ware.
with selections from the operas for
the musical performer.
For the blue clause no suggestions
need be made, as any trifle 1t Is de.
sired 10 give can be sought In this
color.
The Rhowery part Of the afternoon

q luncheon, supper or buffet refresh
ment, and in regaling her guests after
a gift feature of this sort 1t would be
Il charming idea have the table
tricked out in any antique damask
| silver, glass etc. which the hostess
can avail herself OF from the household
treasures.
Those In charge OF the affair may
elect to wear old-time costumes. and
| the bride may be invited to "a bygone
days party" OF anything which vii
keep her unsuspicious OF what IL In
store.

equally unpopular. The restriction is
against the deeper, more sombre,

II there Is a degree of b~Nlliancy, or a
soft pallor in the material It does not
matter what color Il Is, for after all
the edict Is more against the one
than the color. For example, although
brown is a hot color there is a pale,
tender tint that is much seen In loose
travelling coats, this. in satin lining
reversible garments. whose outside is
Of a rich cream tussore. When this
coat is turned, as It may be at any

Esathers Still Worn,

In spite Of rumors to the contrary.
this ia a season of ostrich plumes and
fancy ostrich feathers. Many of the
smartest hats are trimmed with fancy
ostrich bands and feathers made up
in tho form of two long. straight
ouills. In some instances tho ostrich
bands are split. and used as a finish
for the edge of the brim on both the
upper and lower sides. Emerald
green, coral. royal blue. purple. and
white are among the modish shades
for these garnitures.
These fancy feathers are really
rather inexpensive as compared with
the cost Of the ~uncurled French tips
and plumes which, though very ultra.
are almost prohibitive In price to the
average Observation-Disclosures Bazaar.

DESERT FROM FRENCH ARMY
oficIal Announcement Says as Many
as 1928 Men Omitted to Pre-
sent Themselves for Service.

The official announcement that
last year as many as 1928 young
Frenchmen omitted to present them
selves for their legal term of military
service has produced a painful impress
sion.
The increasing number of deserters
appears to be due to three causes. In
the first place, the anti-militarists
would seem to have made sad progress
In certain districts. Then again, part
OF the mischief is to be traced to the
amnesties repeatedly voted by parlia-
ment in favor of the men who have
not fulfilled their military obligations.
Thirdly, account must be taken of the
incredible facilities accorded by the
different French administrative au-
thorities" to the "insoumis" who are
away from their country and who ap-
ply for a safe conduct that they may
return home for their private affairs.
Not only is the existence of such safe
conducts matter for regret, but the
facility with which they are granted is
really extraordinary.
The war Office and the government
can at least suppress two of them by
no longer granting amnesties or safe
conducts to men who are in revolt
against the law of the nation and
against patriotic duty.

WILL BUILD RUSSIAN CANAL
Minimum Depth Of Proposed Canal Be.
tween Black and Baltic Seas to
Be Fourteen Feet

A committee has been formed at St.
Petersburg to prepare for the con-
struction OF a canal between the Black
Sea and the Baltic. The engineering
project, which has been prepared by
NJ. Rugetschel is to build a canal
with minimum depth of IA feet. The
original project was to have a canal
81 feet deep, so as to allow the passage
of large warships, but the government
rejected this on the ground that suffi-
cient water could not be found to feed
such a canal
The total length Of the canal from
Riga to Kherson is 2010 versts, verst
measuring 3,501 feet. OF this 4S5
versts would follow the bed of the
West Dwina from Riga to the village
of Breshenkovichi. From there the
canal would follow new route for 95
versts. joining the Dnieper at the town
of Kopius For the remaining 1920
versts the Dnieper would be utilized
except at the rapids. where a new
canal would have 10 be excavated.
The Dnieper would require dredging
at many points. The Dwina would have
to be made into a canal for its entire
length and would require 10 locks. The
water would be drawn from the Beresi
ma by canal 1875 versts long
The cost of the canal rs estimated at
$50, 100000. The plan is to raise
money by bonds on the foreign market
but to exclude foreigners from holding
any of the share capital The govern
ment is to be asked for a guarantee
and only Russian labor, material and
machinery are to be used. The pro-
moters rely on a gross annual revenue
of s16.950, 000.-London Correspond
ence New York Sun.
