Odd Nest.

A curious freak on the part of
wasps was recently discovered in
going In and out OF lock that secured
a workshop door. The owner of the
shop had the lock removed to satisfy
his curiosity about the doings of the
busy workers. He found a nest in
side. The cells were made of mud
and were full of larvae. There were
several dead wasps inside the lock.
AS the lock was in daily use. the
wasps could not have had peaceful
home.

her TO Chinatown.
BY that time she had learned "a

LINES OF THE NEW DRAPED
COSTUMES ARE LOOSE.

The woman gotten up in trim and

the lines of the new draped costumes.
The visiting costume pictured to-day
hints at this ease and grace of line very
different from a buttoned-up, bevelled
tailored trlmness of effect. The suit Of
sulphur brown silk serge is by Cabot
and shows the abnormally long waist
lien and low belt observable in many
OF the Callot models OF late. The skirt
Is draped up In front and within the

NOW THE BEAUTY SPOT Is ON
THE VEIL.

The Beauty-Spot Veil Is the very lat
est fashion whimsey. on the length and
breath Of a white or flesh tinted Shet-
land silk veil there is just one dot-an
apploued dot OF velvet-and when the
veil is tied over the hat the dot IL made
to come in that particular locality where
a court plaster beauty spot would or
dinarily be worn. This may be at the
side Of the chin, on the cheek, at one
corner OF the mouth or In any other
plauant and becoming situation.
In the photograph tho beauty spot
comes near the corner OF the mouth and
the effect OF this big black dot in the
transparent mesh of the veil Is striking,
to say the least. In olden times, when
patches were the rage, court ladies eX-
pressed their political sentiments by
the shapes OF the bits of black court
plaster on their cheeks. Wings wore
one sybol Tory ladies another-it was
not at all unusual to zee a court-plaster
coach and four driving across a pretty
cheek why not carry out this pleasing
idea in the fashionable new beauty spot
veil? The suffragette maid might have
her velvet beauty spot cut in-say the
form OF a tiny elephant or a dlminutive
bull moose instead of mere round dot
which expresses nothing but ccquetry.
