BLOUSE CUT IN ONE PIECE

The newest cream white blouses are
mere plain than ever. The prottiest
are tllle valonciennes, or a kind OF
SOFT point d'esprit with figures like
those in the valenciennes design. One
blouse of this material has not the

vet in two rows at the throat, both
back and front. and on the wrists.
The neck is cut low and round, with
cording of the lace in three rows.
A noticeable feature of this blouse,
which was designed in a house in the
Place Vendome and intended for the
Riviera. is the sleeves made all in one
piece. with no extensions whatever. It
is as though the entire thing had been
nodded together. No doubt the styles
for the coming season will adopt ideas
seen in this blouse. We have arrived
at period when cuts and finishes are
at their cresendo of plainness. Moth
ing further is possible because effects
could not possibly be any more rigid

Clothes Without Seams.

Bernard Shapiro, a ladies tailor by
trade. at Orange. N. j., claims that he
has solved the problem of making a
seamless form-fitting coat for women
without cutting the cloth into pieces
and sewing them up again. The
amazing thing about Shapiro's inven.
ton is that it came to him in a dream.
For fourteen years he had puzzled
over the problem, how to cut a ladies'
coat without seams. One night, as he
was asleep, lie saw himself making
the coat, and when he awoke he was
overjoyed to find that he remembered
the secret.
Shapiro also dreamed that his In.
vcntion brought him riches. To give
this latter part OF his dream chance
to come true. he has applied for . pat

LITTLE BEDTIME STORIES
INC BILLY POSSUM TAKES
HIS TURN.
BY Thornton w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit had tried to find out what
had become of Johnny Chuck's lost baby,
carried away by Farmer Browns boy,
and had found out nothing except that
Farmer Browns dooryard is no place
for rabbit who is timid. Jimmy Skunk
had tried and had found out only that it
never pays TO put ones head into a
strange place without first making sure
that YOU can withdraw it again. In
fact. Jimmy was nursing a very sore
head and neck because he had put his
head into an empty corn can and then
had had a terrible time getting the can
off. So now it was inc Billy Postum s
turn to see what he could find out about
that missing little Chuck.
Now Inc Billy Postum is as sharp as
his sharp little old face He had listened
to all that Peter Rabbit told him Of his
adventures. and he had listened to Jimmy
Skunk's tale of woe. and he had made
up his mind. Yes. sir, inc Billy had
made up his mind
THAT III Chuck isn't kept anywhere
out in Farmer Browns dooryard," said
inc Billy to himself as he thought it
all over. He isn't kept in the henhouse,
TO Jimmy Skunk would have found him
when he was looking TO eggs. 1t must
be that he is kept in Farmer Browns
house or in the barn. All cert'nly can't
go in the house but All reckons All can
get In the barn.
Late that night when he was sure that
everybody at Farmer Browns was asleep,
including Bowser the Hound. inc Billy
Possum came out of he Green Forest
and stole past Farmer Browns henhouse
toward the barn. Once he stopped and
looked hard at the henhOuse. while his
mouth ran water and he smacked his
lips. Then ne shook his head and plod-
ded on. NO. sah." said inc Billy talk
ing to himself. "Yo' amt any business
thinking of your stomach nohow. Yo'
am looking TO liz stolen baby Chuck,
and yo just keep right on a-looking and
forget all about those nice fresh eggs
And inc Billy did keep on. Yes. sir. he
kept right on over to tine big barn. That
shows how much he thought of Johnny
Chuck. for there Is nothing so tempting
to Inc Billy Postum nice fresh eggs.
Unc' Billy had never been over to the
barn before. He poked around outside
and then he crawled und erneath. BY and
by he found hole in the floor and he
crept up through it. He was in the barn
at last.
inc Billy had never been in big
barn before and it gave him funny
feeling down inside. He wasn't exactly
afraid. He just felt queer because 1t

But when letter came from Aunt

"COURT-MARTIAL" IS FUTILE.
American Member of British Mill
tants Declines to Be Tried.

LONDON. April 26.-A rift between the
Woman's Social and Political Union. the
organization of militant suffragettes and
its American members is indicated by
the sLmmoning of a "court-martial' com
posed Of General Mrs. Flora Drum
rnond. acting as Judge advocate and the
cabinet" OF the union sitting as judges
to try Mrs. Mary Ford of New York on
a charge OF alleged treason to the society
The military features of the court are
all in correct form. with one exception
there is no means of compelling the at
tendance of the accused, who failed 10
appear.
Mrs. Ford later said she knew nothing
OF the charges. and did not expect to ap-
pear before the court.
