She Needed Il.

One of the little swarthy cherubs
from sunny Italy, whose great eyes
and sweet mouths can be so appealing
to their teachers In the great pri-
mary schools in the North end, was
introduced TO the public bathing plant
the other day, in accordance with
the hygienic regulations of the public
schools. She was so delighted that
she asked her teacher the next day
II her grandmamma could go and en-
joy bath there. You see, grand.
mamma has not'had BATH" said the
innocent, since she first came to this
country, and that was IL years ago. "
Another little girl objected to taking
the prescribed bath. just now; be-
cause, as she explained, her mother
had just sewed on her under.hannels
FOR the winter. Still another little
Latin demonstrated less decidedly to
the bath. She knew it was wrong to
be dirty, she Admitted, but ut is so
warm in the winter time."-Boston

Beware cheap Bills.

An examination OF paper currency
by Warren II. Hilditch OF Yale showed
an average of one hundred and forty
two thousand bacteria to the bill.
Twenty-one bills were examined, and
while some were relatively clean, car
rying only a trife OF fourteen thou
sand living things, others swarmed to
the figure of five hundred and eighty.
six thousand. And, strange to say, the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills in preference to the
81 bills.
This shows that 1t is far healthier
TO carry $1,000 bills about than 1t is
to tote 81 bills. Here is a valuable
financial hint.

American DIscoverer Finds Lakes
Never Before Seen by
White Man.

New York.-With three lakes and q
large section of northern Korea added
to his conquests as an explorer, Roy
Chapman Andrews, assistant curator
of the American museum, has returned
from trip around the world. Mr.. An
drews penetrated the north Korean
wilderness as far as the mysterious
three rivers" never before seen by
white men. The rivers proved to be
lakes on the top Of plateau and the
explorer described them as the most
beautiful he had ever seen. Their
shores are of volcanic dust and the
water. which is perfectly clear, con-
aims no fish.
The Korean journey covered dis
lance of 500 miles and during its en-
tire length its leader had to rely al
most wholly upon the compass for his
location. The main object of the ex-
petition was the capture of certain
specimens of gray whales, needed to
make the collection at the museum
the most complete in the world. An
drews caught three varieties, whose
skeletons he shipped to the museum
some time ago.

OLD AGE RISKS IN FRANCE
Number Who Are Registered Under
Law Increasing Every Year,
Statement Shows.

Paris.-Leon Bourgeois, minister OF
labor, has tabulated statistics up to
July 1 of the number of persons who
have registered themselves for old
age insurance in accordance with the
terms Of the law of 1910. as amended
in February. 1912.
According to returns received from
projects of departments, the number
of persons under obligation to insure
now registered is 7,029,006, OF an in
crease of 273,93O since the previous
quarter day, April 1.
The number of registered persons
in France under an obligation to insure
is about 100000.
The government, it is understood,
regards the returns of July 1, as fair
ly satisfactory in view Of the fact that
it has not been possible to apply actu-
al compulsion, owing to an adverse
decision of the court OF cessation. A
new bill making insurance effectively
compulsory for the working classes
is to be introduced In the chamber
next session, and it will have every
prospect Of passing.
1t is in view of this situation that
the date for the practical application
of compulsion was postponed till
January, 1913.

Every day at two p. M the phone

BLOUSE SLEEVE is NOVEL
Genuine Comfort and Artistic Appear
ance Combined In Recent
French Importation.

There is genuine comfort in the
sleeve displayed in one Of the recent
ly imported French blouses. 1t is
long, of course, for all Paris is wear
ing long sleeves with the same eclat
with which they adopted the short
ones in the winter, and is tight from
the elbow to the wrist. 1t fits COM
fortably into the armhole under the
arm, but the upper portion runs right
up over the shoulder to. the collar.
This affords an excellent opportunity
to use long length of lace, from
three to four inches in width. The
effect is very much like that Of the
popular raglan sleeve. The under
sleeve may be of tucked net, chiffon
or ninon. : The long lines of lace from
collar to waist lend the kimono effect
without any of the looseness of the
kinomo sleeve under the arm.
This sleeve is generally buttoned
from the wrist to the elbow with tiny
lace or silk buttons, for the glove
like snugness of the sleeve demands
an opening. The ruff1e at the wrist
is often extended to the elbow. Soma.

Unique Archipelago.

The Maldive archipelago, lying il.
the Indian ocean, several hundred
miles southwest of the southern point
of Hindustan, is inhabited, but it
rarely sees visitors from the civil
ICED world. These islands, all COM
posed of coral rocks, are no fewer
than $4,000 in number. Few of them
rise more than seven or eight feet
above the sea level, although they
contain cocoanut palms and other
forms of vegetation. Hundreds and
hundreds of little islands, ranged
round in a circle, form atolls or
rings, having quiet waters within.
Occasionally, in this unique group,
an individual island is found in the
form of a ring with smooth lake
fnclosed in its coral embrace.

TOUCH OF aREEdloR YELLOW
Either Color Is PopuIA' With Thost
Who Want Just T puch to Re-
Iieve Somberhess.
MARY DEAF

Have you noticed how many OF
those who want a note Of color with
their navy blue and white and black
and white effects, have chosen yellow
or green?
Just now, perhaps, any other choice
would seem a little banal. One girl
who was wearing modish dark blue
charmeuse had the dark blue feather,
hazily swirling around her hat or
finest block pedal straw, punctuated
every here and there with roses or
vivid orange. 1t sounds startling, but
the effect was elegant
Another girl gowned also in dark
blue charmeuse, wore a hat of straw
of the same shade, around which were
beautifully arranged feathers of a
lovely jade green. 1t is Just that par
ticular green that one Seems to want
with the dark blue frock just now.
The amber necklace an d the jade
necklace are the color notes one sees
and admires frequently

course, come in for many other ac-
casions, is Of more Importance to the
college maid or high school girl than
anything else-anything but her hat,
for without a suitable headpiece the
most charming coat could not be
worn, coats and hats of a kind need
ing to run together. The shops are
full of correct fabrics for 1t, the soft
reversible coatings, plain on one side
and plaid on the other, used last year
and still with us, offering themselves
as the most facile textures in the
world for home sewing for all the
trimmings Of the coat are made of
the reverse side Of the material.
Of the plaid touch on little girl
frocks, those short-skirted gowns
maids from six to eight wear there
is no end, but somehow checks seem
a bit more suitable for these than
the larger plaids, and many of the
Russian blouse styles lend themselves
most effectively to a combination of
checked and plain material.
The design shown in the illustra-
ton allows this use Of the two mate
rails in a very smart way, the coat
being of a plain blue wool and the
little skirt and blouse trimming of
checked blue and white wool. Here
the collar is a fiat round affair, but
if made in sailor form shield with
high neckband could be used inside,
and this arrangement might be bet
ter for the, lassies with tender
threats. Serge, broadcloth and
cheviot; are other adaptable mate
rails, for, to be sure, the dress could
be made Of one fabric, and the style
of it is good enough for the very
best street suit.
For girls of all ages-and for WON.
en-, too, for that matter-there are
some perfectly round felt hats with
rolling brims which respond very
prettily to a binding and crown pip
ing of plaid silk, or If the hat is al
ready bound and banded a Scotch
quill may be added to the side.
So If there are bits of handsome
plaid and checked fabrics in the
house they will come in very handy
for the trimming Of youthful hats, for
the very wings themselves may be
made of silk or velvet, and when OF
fabric they always seem smarter
than when the real thing.

Of Mount Mckinley. They went up
