 tempted to explain, We have lowered all the uppers that we
 have upon the train. Thus, we have the lower higher than we
 used to have the upper HumP' the passenger then asked him.
 What did you drink with your sup

 the conductor with a sigh. Though the higher ones are lower, still
 the lowers are as high. With highers lower than they were, the
 lowers but seem higher" You're off the water wagon." vowed the
 man. "or I'm a liar.' And the passenger then left him and went
 to another car, While the poor conductor mumbled:

Designs by Drecoll

From the well-konwn house OF Dire

which will form the inspiration OF
many a trousseau this fall.
First there Is wonderful little
house dress of changeaole red-and
silver taneta There is ichu of
gray net edged with fine quilting of
fringed silk. This fastens at front
under a cabochon of frayed or fringed
Saffeta. The sleeves are half length
and edged with a wide ruching of
silk, corded in two rows through the
centre. The skirt is fuller, but straight.
and is edged with wide ruching.
large SILK rosette trimming the front.
y sash edged with the quilting An
ishes the lovely and simple frock.
For a dinner gown there is a COM
binatlon OF white mousseline de sole
and silver lace. There Is u tunic OF
the latter that entirely covers the bod
ice and sleeves. Below the velvet
girdle OF brilliant orange a long pep
lum drops at the left and swings over
in a slanting line at the back. A
ruching of white satin ribbon trims
the top Of three folds at the lower part
OF the skirt
For evening there is shown yellow
satin in soft, heavy quality. over
the bodice, which is a high gird!e OF
metallic lace in gold. is draped a fichu
of rich ecru lace. There are no sleeves
except little drapery of maline.
a tinic OF heavy embroidered lace
hangs in a. straight line at the back
and crosses over at the front in a
slanting line.
Over this can be thrown a wonder
full evening robe that is a mass OF en-
broidery. This "manteau de so1r" Is
of dull gray satin, double faced. It's

pattern in gray and gold. The ma

ornaments.

at first very closely connected.
The company has done more to make Perth AM

rect publicity could have accomplished, and its rela-
