II you have one or two skirts that are pas

a plain utility gown of wool or crepe you can
turn it into quite ambitious garment for
luncheon or afternoon card party by ono of
the popular adjustable tunics that are slipped
over the skirt under draped girdle.
The most convenient arrangement for such
a tunc is to have it joined to its own girdle;
thus 1t is ready for any use. They are simple
to make. are cut on the straight of the ma
terial, and usually once and a half around Is
allowed for fullness. The lower edge is wired
with featherbone under the trimming. The
fullness may be gathered in, arranging the
gathers evenly, or it can have an inch wide
single box plat, three or four in front and
the same number at the back

bon and tiny silver flowers. Another adjust
able tunic of pink wash tulle can be bound
with narrow pink satin cut in strips an inch
and half wide bias. Trim with a gathered
ruffie of lace arranged that the lower edge
comes an inch and half from the bottom of
the tunc.
Head the frill with a narrow cord of the

n clothes 1 begin INTO to look ss seedy e, e especially
~ if one has been gay socially during the
season. 1t is too soon for spring
clothes. unless one is going south to
escape February sush and March winds: so
unless content to be shabby, it behooves the
woman clever with her needle to get busy
with freshening touches.
Never has there been a year when styles
were so accommodating for renovation. Al
most everything goes in the way of combna-
tion of materials and colors, so do not despair
of the most detected looking costume.
Before starting your renovat9ons, take ac-
count OF stocks as it were. In one heap put
the clothes that can be sufficiently freshened
by new frills, skirt braids, pressing and
sponging of spots with gasoline or alcohol
Get these out of the way first. 8 1t is dis
coueaging to have all ones clothes out of con-
dltion at once. 1t is surprising how careful
clearing pp lends new lease of life to worn
gar
in sroup put the things that have
woli With the fancy for diaphanous
blous,s sten comparatively new gowns and
waists are apt to wear out In spots especially
under the arms. Look first TO the Innings.
Nothing gives costume such am air of shah
biness as to have the chiffon lining wear into
holes.
Sometimes 1t is necessary to entirely refine
the blouse. As most of the new models have
kmono lines this is comparatively simple.
Cut away the torn lining and shape the model
exactly like the outside, joining them at neck
and sleeves. If the girdle is fresh do not rip
at the waist line but hem down the chiffon
to the blouse slightly below the old line of
gathers. Often the chiffon need only be
patched. This shows less if not hemmed to
give am extra thickness. Trim off the ragged
frayed edges of the material shape the
patch to match, but large enough not to pull
out and join by irregular darning stitches
back and forth or by small running stitches.
Even where the chiffon is sewed into seams
you need not rip the blouse entirely apart.
Trim close, pulling out the chiffon from both
sides where tho fraying shows. then hem
down the seam Of the lining over the seams
Of the outside.

Simple Scroll Design for Panel of Spring Suit

This simple scroll design is approximately
six and one-half inches by four and three
fourths. 1t may be developed in soutache
braid. in cotton silk cord or in bias fold
ings. 1t may either be in contrasting
shades with the suit in question or in those
that harmonize and makes a most at
tractive trimming for plain street suits of
serge, whipcord. eponge, or the many vari-
ants of linen.
From all Indications soutache threatens
to be more popular than ever on the new
spring suits. And the design printed on
this page is very easily worked.
The satin stitch dot used in this design is
embroidered.

Lakes Drying Up.

A report just laid before the senate
at Cape Town says definitely that
South Africa is drying up not because
OF any lessening of the average rain.
fall, but on account of the steady dis
appearance OF the local water sup
plies. There is no doubt" 1t adds,
that many parts of the Union will
eventually become uninhabitable."
Long ago Livingstone pointed out
this probability, and within the last
half-century quite a number of lakes
in central Africa have disappeared,
while Lake Chad is shrinking every
year.
Europe Is in no better case. A Ger
man geologist recently made an ex-
haustive inventory of the European
lakes and found that hundreds had dis
appeared or been reduced to insignifi-
cant proportions. In the canton of Zu-
rich $50 lakes were catalogued in 1860;
now there are barely 10.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE
ONE VETERAN RETIRED AND RE.
cRUIT TOOK SERVICE.
0rinao Civilian Got a Taste Of Stir
ring Life and Found It to His LIk-
Ing, So the Account Was
Balanced.

Silently the steamer slipped over
the starlit waters, Momotombo's
plume Of steam 5000 feet above
US. The pier we we're to take was hid
den in the blackness ahead. Every
light aboard was doused, for we had
no wish 10 make a show of ourselves.
Then somebody opened the IRE
doors under the boilers A plume OF
sparks flew from the smokestack and
lit the boat brightly and hundred
men ON deck swore, not too softly.
Answer came in q flash from the
black shore ahead of US. Bang! came
the bark Of field gun. A rosy spark
boring Its way through the night pass
cd over our heads and on into the
night and lake.
Turn around, captain! Turn quick.
and 60 back"
So our brave Colombiano general
in command; a patriot for Nicaragua
and 900 pesos month.
Pray, don't imagine that he was
scared. He wouldn't endanger his men
out there on the water; the enemy
on firm Land and beyond reach Of
machetes. No. He boldly stood grasp
Ing the rail, and II his arm fairly
shook me as we were crowded against
each other 1t was no doubt because
he trembled with bold ardor.
At least couldn't see that he chang
ed color. But then, never saw an
ace Of clubs change color. Still,
there's a difference in blacks. The
generals shade was the SINNER Of the
two in the light from our plumes OF
sparks.
60 back, captain, to a thousand
meters!" the general ordered again,
but with no very great authority of
tone.
"You go to thunderl" Captain Tooth
blurted with what seemed to me an
approach to bluntness. isn't there a
man aboard who'll take crack at
them chaps ashore?"
The commanding general walked
aft. A gringo civilian said;
Hold her as she goes, Gap. I'll
try a shot,"
He dropped to the main deok, sight
ed the little beauty Of breechloader
and jerked the lanyard. A shell stroll
ed shoreward, struck and broke in
many pieces. A locomotive on the pier
vomited burning sparks and rumbled
away from there. The natives who
were the crew of the gun dipped cof-
fee sacks in bucket of water and
laid them on the gun.
Get out of this with your dishrag!
What dye mean! Give me that shell,
pronto!" yelled that mad gringo, jerk
ing the sacks overheard and snatching
the shell.
Half a dozen other shells went
ashore and smashed themselves to
ruins, one going through the planking
of the motorboat of which the rebels
proposed to make a man-o-war to take
Managua.
Then that intrusive gringo hunted
up the commanding general and ask
ed:
why not land now and take the
placer"
But he ordered the expedition to re-
turn to Managua. He wouldn't risk
his brave men by night attack. They
might run into ambush under fire of
our gun.
The general retired from the SER
vice. and the 300 pesos, the next day.
So a soldier of fortune was lost to
the cause Of the government. But
the account was balanced that very
day, for that gringo. beguiled by an
offer from the president and the taste
he had had of war, became a soldier
Of fortune.

A LAW AND HUMAN NATURE.

The child labor law in this and
other States was intended to give the
children of these States an opportuni-
ty to grow up well. But the law, as
some would construe it, is in certain
cases, at least, likely to stunt the
child's abilities and proper inclina-
tions instead of furthering them. A
case In point is the restriction placed
about the employment of children on
the stage.
Judge Lindsey is as good a friend
of the child, perhaps, as we have in
this country. Addressing the Drama
League of Chicago a few days ago,
the Judge expressed himself in favor
of permitting children on the stage
If certain restrictions are observed.
He distinguished between work" on
the stage and work in factory. He
has never known a child, he said, that
was anxious to do factory work. On
that did not do work on the stage
with delight.
The distinction between factory
work, which deadens, and work on the
stage, which stimulates and inspires
the child, is sound. Some of the
worlds greatest poets and artists be-
gan laboring at their hobby when thew
were twelve years old. They worked
after school and late into the night.
Many children today spend every
spare moment they have studying a
pet subject or working out pet
scheme of theirs. It is labor of love
with them. To attempt to apply the
child labor law rigidly to work for
which the heart and soul of the child
is yearning is to misconstrue the es-
sence and meaning of the law and to
harm instead of helping the child

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.
(By Maude Hall,)

New York, Jan. 2.-The new year
always ushers in a flood of novelties
for the well dressed woman. First
in the advance guard of new things
come the silks, muslins, ETC., which
are to be developed into spring and
summer costumes a few months
hence. Closely upon these follow the
new design in frocks and waists
which are not to be so very different
from the modes that have reigned for
the past few months, II all that is
whispered is true.
1t Is certain that there are not to
be any very decided changes. Women
of fashion are exceedingly fond Of
the narrow skirts and draped effects
and as long as they are pleased the
makers OF fashions will not rush into
violent changes. Then, too, although
frocks are simpler in outline in many
instances, and require less material,
the fabrics are more elegant, so that
1t costs as much to dress as ever.
This is pleasing, of course, to the man.
