The Rib Story

No story, perhaps, has been the
source of more mental ingenuity
throughout the ages than the legend
of Adams rib. Centuries ago, the
Jews wove many tales and fancias
QUITO of the ancient theme. They said,
for instance, that the great Rabbi
Gamaliel had once brought the Scrip
lures of his nation to the Roman En-
peror Hadrian, who, after a study of
the Sacred Books, rashly retorted to
the Rabbi that, in the story of Gen
esis, the Creator was little better
than a thief, because he had stolen
one of Adams ribs. Gamaliel was
bewildered and perplexed, but his
fair daughter arose to the occasion.
Let me answer the Emperor" she
begged, land l will vindicate our holy
writings!" SO on the next day she
presented herself before Hadrian. 90

what it was. The Hebrew maiden re-
piled that, at the dead and darkening
hour of midnight, a thief had subtly
and stealthily entered their abode,
and had stolen away silver fiagon,
though it was true, she added, that
he had left a golden flagon in its
place.

Lingerie Hats

With lingerie gown, lawn and
lace hats of sheerest texture are once
again fashionable, while with the
linen and bingham frocks there are
wide-brimmed leghorns and pale-col-
ored straws that are truly fascinat-
ing. A fad of the season is to have
every hat faced with color, and if
this color is chosen with care, It will
greatly enhance the beeomingness of
the hat. There is considerable of the
eccentric practiced with these fac
ings, smart combination being a
hat all white, straw as we'll as trim
ming, with a lining against the face
of navy blue. Navy-blue silk revers
then trim the coat of the severely
simple linen jacket with which this
hat is worn.
! The lingerie hats of this midsum-
mer differ slightly from the models
of a few years back in that they are
made on a foundation of straw in
stead of simply a wire frame with
foundation of lawn. The outer cover.
ing is generally of white batiste or
French muslin edged and incrusted
with lace. The straw shapes under.
meath is of a delicate cool tone OF
pink, blue, mauve or green. A clus
ter of flowers of correct tone or. a
large chou of ribbon placed with
either high or fiat effect against the
lcrown makes of this hat a more elab
crate affair than the old lingerie bon
net. nor is there any style of hat more
lcharming for summer.
Often. the facing is of straw the
same kind as that forming the top o
the hat, but quite frequently a col
ored silk is utilized-and here thu

A CONVENT VISIT.

After a few days the nuns taught
one, at least, of their visitors to rocog-
nize them as among the busiest of
their sex. A lay sister would hurry
by trundling a barrow or carrying an
enormous covered basket, her habit
tucked up showing the russell skirt
beneath, her long black veil floating
in the breeze as she went. One might
watch another mounting a ladder to
gather pears from the tallest tree,
while a third was busy over affairs in
the e-garden close by. A religeuse
might pass meanwhile to seat in the
walk for her morning lesson in French
conversation with a stammering Eng

depths at the present time. This COM
munity, like all its kind in France
lives in eVer-present fear of expulsion

Rroiled Salt Maekerel.

Take the fish from the brine and
wash it thoroughly. Put it to soak
over night in cold water, taking care
to soak it with the skin side up.
About ten minutes before breakfast
drain from water, pat dry on a clean
cloth and wipe over both sides with
olive oil Broil under the gas flame,
attending to the flesh side of the fish
first, as the skin side scorches easily
and needs but a moment or two to
brown. Put on to a heated platter,
pepper slightly, garnish with a little
parsley and cut lemon and serve with
creamed Irish potatoes, fried sweet
potatoes, baked or boiled new potatoes,
either of which go well with salt

THE SLIP ON.

The "slip-on" dress, a gown of white
serge, surah silk, or marquisette, is
Gle of the decided novelties of the
summer season. 1t slips on over the
head, and doesn't have to be hooked
er buttoned. One Of the prettiest of
these frocks is MADE of plain white
surah silk, trimmed with white silk,
striped at one-inch intervals with navy
blue and green alternating This
stripped material forms the yoke
applied beneath the low-cut round
neck This yoke opens about three
inches in front, and is laced with a
blue cord. A fine net loke, gathered
ma cord, fills in the low-cut neck.
Both bodice anG skirt are cut in
one piece, the fullness being adjusted
by draw-string at the waist-line. A
belt of the material is worn over this
stirring. A twenty-inch flounce of the
striped material finishes the bottom OF
the skirt.-Harpers Bazaar.

Table Etiquette

Rapid eating is not only unpleasant
ly suggestive of the methods of the
beasts of the field in its appearance
of greediness, but is usually noisy as
well. There is not time between
mouthfuls to keep the mouth closed
while chewing, and the fork and
spoon in their hurried passage in and
out OF the mouth hit the teeth with a
disagreeable grating sound. Soup, al
though dipped up from the dish prop
erly away from one rather than toward
one and slipped from the side as It
should be, is frequently slipped with
a decided sound even by those who
consider themselves very particular.
Those who cut up all their food Wig
orously before beginning to eat, with
thought, doubtless, of saving time
later, are not only SHINING egregiously
against good taste in so doing, but
are making a nerve-racking noise
with the knife and fork against the
plate at the same time. All have not
learned that, regardless of time. it is
not considered good form to prepare
all the food before eating, such as re
moving all the bones from fish, cut
ting up the lettuce, MASKING vegeta
bles and potatoes together, or picking
the bones of a bird. That method
savors too much of the child-Har

THE REApY-MApE WAIST.

In all the large department shops,
and many of the smaller ones, there
is a very remarkable showing this
year of ready-made separate waists at
surprisingly low prices. The great OBJ
lection to the majority of them is that
they are unlined and not always a
good shape, but such defects can cas-
lily be remedied by a well-ftting UNI
derwaist. This may be of India silk
or of lace or net-preferably lace, for
the all-over lace is strong enough to
hold the figure, and it is rather more
effective than plain silk. Some of
these waists are made with Innings,
and require only a wide belt to hold
them in place. This belt tape should
really be added to all thin blouses.
It must be snug and we'll fastened at
the back, and then the waist itself will
stay down in place, and will have an
infinitely better air to it. In fact, with
this belt tape and shaping in at the
side seams a waist that has cost only
two or hree dollars may be just as
smart and attractive as one that costs
twenty -Harper's Bazaar.

WHITE SERGE TIE VOGUE.

White serge is extremely fashionable
this season, and, in fact, there is no
outfit complete without a white serge
or homespun. These white costumes
are most effective and becoming, and
very smart. There are several differ
ent models that are popular. One of
the newest gives the slender lines that
are so becoming without the exaggera-
ton that is so unbecoming. There is
double skirt effect with short jacket,
and the whole costume is plain and
severe. A novel touch is the white
MORE in revers and cuffs and the
MORE covered buttons. This is one
of the very latest models, and it is
safe to assert that it will be copied

PARAGRAPHS CONTRIBUTED BY
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES.

The young seem to be crowding out
the old in animal life as well as with
the human race. The government agri-
cultural department reports show
steady increase in percentage of gain
in market price for young cattle, as
compared with stock two years CT age
and over. The pendulum has been
swinging toward the younger members
of the herd since the close of the war
and the margin now in their favor is
calculated to reduce considerably the
average life of a bovine. In 1867
calves under one year of age sold Tor
$3.50 and in 1911 they sold at an aver
age price of $11.70. Stock one year
and under two sold in 1867 for $1O.71
and in 1911 for $19.41, an increase in
both instances of nearly one hundred
per cent, while the increase In COM
parative prices during the same period
for cattle two years of age and over
was less than S5 per cent. Uncle sam
furnishes the farmer with lot OF val
liable information which he can easily
turn into coin II he will only put II in
practical application.
The government agricultural depart
ment reports that the hogs marketed
in recent years are much lighter than
in former years. The average weight
of hogs marketed during the last de-
cade was 219 pounds and hogs mar
keted thirty or forty years ago were
on an average one-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent years. The
grade of hogs has certainly improved
with each decade, but We appear to
crush the young hogs to market. The
breeders have apparently not been
able to develop breed that will quite
keep pace with the demands of the
feeders for early maturity, and the
swine industry, while increasing in
number and in grade, is decreasing in
market size. The genius of the breed
ers of livestock have made some won
derful transformations in the animal
kingdom, but the Texas breeding pens
