'Thet sound would be cut off in the
city," said Helen but Jack has al

advice she added.
Precisely. Now as TO theories of
the ultimate cause, Naturally this
must have been brought about either
by nature or by man. IL by nature,
II is exceedingly localized. not TO say

some way acquired unprecedented
powers over the phenomena Of cleo

IDENTIFY at will either focus, as on the
Atlas building, or diffuse. as over the
city. For the moment We Will adopt
the latter hypothesis.

Retention Gown.

A reception gown that | have Just

was in a thick cream charmeuse dnd
of simplicity that was as deceptive
as its expensiveness was real. The
skirt was cut short enough to clear
the ground, and was looped up al me
left side to reveal a deep hem OF
black velvet, on which was imposed

wide, then came white cluny lace

ermine The bodice was arranged with

RAVE PINS ALWAYS AT HAND
Useful Holder to Hang on the Wall
Provides Receptacle for Small
Convenences.

In our sketch may be seen a dainty
and ornamental holder for hat pins
for hanging upon the wall by the side
of the dressing table. 1t is. of course
necessary to keep hat pins where
they are easily accessible. but at the
same time, if they are placed in a
holder or stuck in a cushion upon
the dressing table. they are generally
greatly in the way. so that. perhaps
there is nothing better than can be
prepared for them than a holder OF
the nature shown. which may be hung
on the wall

into which the hat pins may be slip
