Black Waists Now

As a refreshing change from white
waists, the black lace waist, usually in
chantilly. is made over flesh color or
white lining, which will give equally
good service with newer style. They
are just as suited as white waists for
wear with suit of any color There
is a great variety of styles in these
waists, some having the foundation of
net, chiffon or lace in white, with the
black chantilly lace in bolero or jacket
arrangement, with the lower section
Of the sleeves and the front of the
waist in white.

CHAPTER XII.



We went into camp under the land
ward glacis of the cliffs, in a field of
clover which was to be plowed under
in few days. We all were there ex-
cept Kelly Eyre, who had gone TO tele-
graph the governor of Lorient for per
mission to enter the port with the cir
Gus. Another messenger also left camp
on private business for me.
Presently we were all sitting around
the long camp-table in the glare of two
smoky petroleum torches, eating our
bread and ham and potatoes and drink
ing Breton cider a jug of which Mr.
Koran had purchased for few cop
pers.
The hard cider cheered Byram lit

gram across the oak table.
Byram's face fell; he picked up the
telegram and fumbled in his coat for
his spectacles with unsteady hand.
Let me read it, governor" said
Speed, and took the blue paper from
Byram's unresisting, stubby fingers.
"Oho!" he muttered, scanning the
message; "well-well, it's not so bad
as all that"
We'll, sir?" said Byram, in a low
voice

the ends at the side and lie dat to the
temples.
This couture may be managed by
any one having fairly thick hair, even
IL 1t is short. Brunettes are blessed
with hair even in color, and the coils
at the back are easily managed with
short novelties which will match the
natural hair exactly. 1t is not so easy
for blends to find perfect match, as
blond hair is generally somewhat
streakeH.
In dressing this couture nearly all
of the hair is combed back to form the
coils. These require four strands,
and they are parted off evenly. By
waving the hair little it is easier to
make the coils full and light and gives
the back of the couture better An

For instance, when the encyclopedias
tell US that in A. d. 627 the heat
in France and Germany dried the wa
ter sources and a multitude of people
died of thirst; that in the battle of
Bella, in 1860, more soldiers we're
killed by the sun than by the weapons
of the foe; that in 1903 three great
rivers of western Europe went dry,
and that in Odessa, in 1889, the noon
temperature reached 144 degrees and
a sunshade was necessary at five in
the morning, we are bound to con-
clude that we are not so badly off,
after all.

Moving Picture Animals

A jungle of several acres, inhabited
by wild animals of all countries, many
OF which are already well trained for
the parts they are to play as motion
picture actors, is maintained near Los
Angeles by one of the big American
film-producing companies. 1t is in

commodations until the motion picture

women In wearing wraps of fur
they wear such garments as If they
were slipping off the shoulder.
Fox, skunk and martin are favored
for collars, cuffs and borders. White
fox and furs dyed in fancy shades are
smartest for evening wraps. After
ALL the dark furs make the best COM
bination with rich brocades.
1t will not be hard TO picture to
the mind the wrap shown here, with
dark mole-colored ground having deep
Natter blue in the pattern of foliage
and flowers which covers it. The
combination is quiet but very rich.
There is almost no combination more
elegant.
Brocades for such coats are wide
and they are expensive. One must
expect them to cost from ten to TWEEN
ty dollars a yard They are more
costly than plain velvet, but such
triumphs of the weaver's art must
bring price commensurate with their
superb beauty.
Muffs and turbans are made of these
rich fabrics, and trimmed with fur.
They lend elegance to plain costumes
without requiring a great outlay Of
money. Fabric muffs are draped and
are larger than those of fur.
1t will be noticed that the material
is draped in the seams of the coat
pictured here and that the shoulder
line Tor the lack of shoulder line) pre-
serves the vague outline of the figure
which fashion delights in.

Stransky.
The annual appearance of this great
musical organization, the oldest of its
kind in America, Is always an event
in musical Washington and the OPEN
ing concert will have unusual interest
owing to the changes in personnel and
the fact that the orchestra has been
considerably augmented.
The most notable change is the sub
stitution of Leopold Kramer as con-
certmeister.. for H. p. Schmitt. Four
new first violins. two second violinists.

no music that can show so well the
natural beauty of the Welsh voice as
the simpler, standard airs, and of such
pieces as KILLARNEY" Annie Laurie"
