AFTERNOON TEA APRONS.

Afternoon tea aprons of the dainti-
est fabrics are quite de riguer with
us at present. For years these charm
ing accessories of dress have been
worn on the continent. but in this
country they have rarely been seen.
though in the days OF our grand
mothers no lady was considered
dressed" without her little apron of
black satin, gaily embroidered. House
hold duties have demanded some prac-
teal sort of pinafore, 1t Is true. but 1t
Is only lately that we have again be-
gun to look upon the little apron as
ornamental rather than economical,
and to make the afternoon tea. at
which we receive our friends. an oc-
casion for wearing one
Dainty aprons may be evolved out
Of ribbons and lace. and may be of
any size that pleases the fancy of the
wearer. Soft white silk. with dainty
sprigs Of pale blue, made up pretty

bib and long narrow dropping front

the waist with pale blue Hhhn2 An

-. -,'.". Protest.

i Grant Ramsay believes that If dumb
animG.s were forced. to carry such bur-
dens as the large hats now affected by
some women, protests would be maiA
in the. name of humanity. Women
we're even more overburdened in mid
Victorian days.
According to Herr Otto Fischel,
whose Costume in the Nineteenth
Century" is written with German
.thoroughness, about 1856 a woman Of
fashion wore, d flannel ..petticoat, an
.upderpetticoat three and one-half
yards wide, a petticoat wadded to the
knees and stiffened in the upper part
with whalebones, petticoat with
three stiffiy starched fiounces, two
muslin petticoats and then skirt.
Even if all these were made of light
stuff, the weight and discomfort Of
such a quantity of material was so
great that the idea Of a steel crinpline
was greeted enthusiastically, and the
inventor cleared $4,000 out of 1t in Q
fortnight.-London Chronicle.

Have you noticed the variety and
the beauty Of the ribbons displayed
even at this season OF the year at the
ribbon counter? So handsome and
unusual are they that 1t In not sur
prising that the designers have made
various uses of them. Just at pres
ent the picot edge ribbons are the
newest and are favorite trimming
Tor the summer hat In addition to
the taffeta faille, MORE and mar
quisette ribbons, there are some love
ly ones showing antique designs with
brocade and flower patterns. These
are used as border to the frocks of
crepon. Then there are the brocaded
ribbons with the design picked out in
silver or gold threads, the irregularly
striped Picking ribbons. the handsome
metallic ribbons and those with en-
broidered and open work designs.
To tie the feather boas which are
so universally worn In Paris there are
bows of ribbons with long ends. often
falling below the waist line. More
youthful In appearance are the ruffs
made of gathered or pleated ribbon.
Scarfs are often made with borders
of ribbons or a series of graded rib
bons, the widest being at the edge.
A stunning scarf Of pink and white
mousseline de sole bands was joined
with white faille ribbon on which a
design of pink roses had been out
lined as artistically as II washed In
with the brush of an artist.
:. For ruchings, shirrings and quill
lings for gowns and hats and coats
and even parasols, ribbon Is very
much easier and more convenient to
use than taffeta by the piece.

New Medici Collars.

The new Medici collars, distin-
guished by extended ruff effects in
the back, are gaining wider represen-
tation and will no doubt be welcomed
on all sides, says the Dry Goods
Economist. The Medicis have the ad-
vantage Of being more. generally be-
coming than many of the Robespierre
styles. The general effect is softer
and more youthful, while the extend
ed ruff in the back affords a delight
full finish. Fine fancy nets aud ba.
tistes in combination with shadow
laces and hand embroidery are ia
vored in the development of some of
the most striking novelties. Great in
dividuality is given to this. style by
the cut of the jabot or vest effect with
which it is finished.

found himself the most wretched man
in the state. He did not known until
that hour how much he loved the
girl She had denied the engagement
that he had looked upon as a settled
thing. She was frivolous, but she had
spells of being very much in earnest.
Stephen had asked for daily let

one at the end of the week, and its
contents did not satisfy his warnings
at all.

Have got two freckles on my nose,
and there is an actor boarding at the
next farmhouse. I can hit frog

you are we'll"
That actor! Who was he? What
business had he there? Would he
have the cheek to scrape an &C.
quaintanceship with Mildred and fat
ter her that it was her mission to re-
form the stage?
He had never heard Mildred say
that she would like to become great
actress and give Sarah Barnhardt
tips, but throw her into the society
Of an actor for two weeks and how
would it be? And there would be
piano men, sewing machine agents
and tin peddlers- driving around the
country in droves.
Mr.. Stephen Hazleton stood it for
three days and then started out to
have matters settled. He did not
notify Miss Mildred Drew by letter,
telephone or wireless that he was
coming. He just threw a few things
into grip and started OF He knew
she left the train at village called
Kalem. and in time he reached the
place. Only then did 1t occur to him
that he didn't know the aunt's name.
He thought Miss Mildred had talked
about her Aunt Eliza, but that was
no guide to him now. There might
be a dozen Aunt Elizas around there.
There had been . sort Of reign Of
terror around. Kalsm for the last three
weeks Horses had been stolcn.

FANS FOR THE BRIDE.

A bride does not carry fan to tn
altar, but if the wedding takes place
in warm weather, there should be
awaiting her at the scene OF the mar
riage breakfast or reception, an all
white fan of hand-carved ivory or eel
luloid. or of mother-of-pearl having q
hand-embroidered white silk spread.
For other occasions, she will need, not
only this fan, but several others, One
Of these might be Of bamboo, having
outside sticks that are lacquered and
inlaid and spread of hand-embroider.
ed or beaded colored satin, another
might be of hand-carved sandalwood,
mounted with Chinese embroidery and
a third of colored gauze, heavily span,
gled and mounted over the slenderest
of silver-coated wood sticks Any sort
OF pretty fan is q nice present to send
TO bride, especially IL she is OF the
class likely to receive gifts OF the
practical workaday sort.

AN OUTLAWS BRIDE

BY DONALD ALLEN.

They said OF Mildred Drew that she
was a frivolous girl, and now that
she was as good as engaged to
Stephen Hazleton. they continued to
say the same old thing. They did
add, however. that Stephen. being
three years older and being con-
sentative young man, would steady
her down.
It's nothing against girl that she
Is frivolous. 1t simply means that
she refuses to worry about the things
that her mother does; that she
doesn't want to tie herself up too
soon: that she is falling In love with
new chap every week or two to
study the male sex: that she is ro-
mantle by nature, and refuses to take
the world as seriously as others.

Stephen Hazleton. but when he start

always tossed her head and replied
that there were plenty of other good

would be found walking the top of ths
back yard fence.

One of the principal weather conditions of
this part of the tropical belt il which we
live is that the lower air, to a height OF seye-

(he Trade Wind) while an upper lay er of
air, at a height Of about 6 miles moves from
a westerly point (the Return Trade Wind.
To this rule there are exceptions III both
cases, and these exceptions occur mainly IN
the Hurricane Season. AT this season IN

Of the cyclones which mark and give name

tn the case of the lower current the CON

Sometimes In a clear sky 1t is impossible -

at others 1t IS easy enough, namely when
