vations about the dwellings of the middle classes.
While German research has definitely fixed the
location of the Tower of Babel the origin of the
biblical story of the confusion of tongues has
not been found in Babylon. That 1t is world
myth is the conclusion of scholars. 1t Is inter
esting to note that a similar legend Is found N
Central America in connection with the pyramid
of Cholula which was also intended to reach
the heavens and which brought disaster to its
builders.
But if this legend has not been verified by re-
search the discoveries which have rewarded the
labors of explorers and archaeologists in Baby
lonia have been many and Of the highest value
Innumerabe tablets have been collected which
when deciphered will throw light upon civiliZa
ton which born more than six thousand
years ago. The oldest temple in the world has
been unearthed at Bisya. Large square blocks
have been discovered which date back to the
reign of Sargon l., $500 years before Christ.
Even older is a platform built of the peculiar
convex bricks used in B. c. $500. Inscriptions
on bricks found in the temple at Bisya
stamped with the name of Dung B. c. 2750. A
crumpled piece Of gold bears the name of Param
Sim, B. G. $780, So much for the age of the
antiquities of Babylon. The best preserved ed-
fee of ancient Babylon thus far unearthed is
the gate of the goddess Ishtar, of which the ma
sonry remains we'll nigh perfect after two thou
sand years Of neglect
What is even more interesting to the general
public modern research is making the Baby
lOn1anS live again AFTER thousands OF years.
Much is known now Of their daily life, their aims
and occupations, their religious ceremonies 1t is
possible to reconstruct something Of the life Of
the prophet Daniel in Babylon. 1t is possible to
follow the course of a procession in honor of
the god Marduk through the gate of Ishtar to the
palace of Nebuchadnezzar. The sepultures Of
the people and of the princes have been laid
open.
Everywhere on the walls of buildings to
be seen representations of the bull, which was
the sacred animal of Babylon
Though it is uncertain whether the ancient
Babylonians civilized than their
Egyptian contemporaries there is but little doubt
that they were the pioneers of civilization in
the whole Of western Asia before Greece and
Rome came to the front. Four thousand years
B. c. their system of writing had already been
developed and applied also the Semitic Baby
lonian tongue. Fourteen hundred years B. c.,
as the Tell-eIAmarna tablets testify, its
tended over the whole Of western Asia as far
as the Mediterranean and Egypt. Though not
warlike people the Babylonans possessed
more than once what might have been described
at the time a worldwide empire They were
energetic intelligent, polished in their way and
fond of letters. Excellent sculptures and en-
cravings on hard stone exist to testify to their
skill and artistic instincts. Representations of
musical instruments imply also that the art of
harmony not altogether unknown to them.
To this must be added agriculture, mensuration
and mathematics, such as they were, and their

TO HOLD DAINTY NIGHTDRESs
With White Silk-Strings to
Match Material.

Something very pretty in the shape
of a nightdress case may be seen in
the accompanying sketch. 1t is car
ried out in pale pink satin and lined
with soft white silk and edged with
silk cord and tied together with rib
bon strings of a color to match the
satin.
Between the covers and the lining
a double thickness of swansdown
fiannelette should be sewn in to give
the case substance. On the front Of
the case a design of three white dog
roses and foliage is embroidered, but
there are, of course, many other pref
ty designs that might take it's place
and for this purpose a transfer pat
tern of some suitable floral design
may be easily obtained at trihina
cost.
The blossoms should, however, be
worked in white, as white blossoms
and green foliage always look charm
ing upon a pink background.
The case opens in front for a third
of the way down. and after the night.

A fine linon is the most satisfactory
material for the lingerie frock that is
to endure tubing, and it will pay to
obtain an excellent quality Batiste,
vo1les and marquisettes are softer and
launder well If carefully handled, but
lnon will outwear them every time
The cotton marquisettes, cotton
VolIes and grapes are more recent ar
rivals and have achieved decided pop
ular1ty, and very large percentage of
the cotton graduating frocks this year
are being made up in these materials.
They launder we'll, are easily hand
led, are very soft and graceful, and
durable despite their sheerness and
lend themselves admirably to simple
forms of trimming, although they may
be made very elaborate with hand EN-.
broidery.
The cotton grapes in really good
quality are attractive materials and
are enjoying a great vogue, both for
blouses and tub frocks. 1t is said that
they require no ironing and are very
practical on that account, but laun.
dresses insist that they are by no
means easily laundered, as they re-
quire stretching and more or less care
full pressing to get them into the right
shape after laundering.
Embroidered cotton voiles and mar
quisettes make attractive graduating
frocks and in all the shops where
youthful dresses are shown one finds
quantities of such frocks made of such

Sleeve Drapery.

One of the most graceful fashions
of today for evening gowns is the use
of sleeve drapery that carries flow
ing line Of color from the bodice over
the arms and sometimes far below
the waist line.
Sleeve drapery can be of rich me-
tallic laces, either gold or silver; tulle,
maline or chiffon. 1t is frequently
caught under buckles or fancy cabo-
chons at the shoulders. From this
point the material falls back over the
arms, and sometimes is continued in
long lines as train. The effect is

Is folded upwards and secured with

The small sketch on the right hand
side shows the case so closed, and by
the way, the silk cord, which is of a
fancy pattern, is carried into three
little loops at each corner.
This sachet might, Of course, be
made in other colors, and it is al.
ways a pretty idea with articles of
this description to select colors to
match or harmonic with that of the
bed quilt, or perhaps in the event of
a white bed quilt, the wall paper.

Flounced skirts are shown on many
of the new tub models appearing in
the shops, but invariably are the

acres Of land. north a the Normal
School, which furnishes splendid
clay for brick, and have already
made arrangements for the burning
OF brick there next summer. Wood
for the burning Of the brick will be
placed ON the grounds at once.
Brick can be furnished In GuBni-
son about five dollars per thousand
cheaper than it can be shipped into
the town. aud as there are prospects
for considerable balldins here dur

belief II many that brick yard 10

that the Denver 4 Rio Grsnde Rail

next summer.
No better clay can be secured any,
where for the making Of brick than
that found at the base Of Smelter
Hill. IL is well adapted for the
making of good hard brick.
The last brick furnished in Gun
nison was burned for the Normal
building, and no building material
of this Kind has been placed IN the
market here for several years.
There has been a demand here in
Gunnison for such an industry for
some time.
