AN attractive waist made OF all
- over lace Is shown here. which is
as simple as can be and at the same
time stylish and effective. 1t Is cut
|by a blouse pattern, having the
sleeves and bodice in one. The seams
are set together with hem.stitching
and frills OF net finish them and the
neck.
Unlike many net and lace waists,
the sleeves are barely elbow length,
for In many of the new waists they
are long. In fact. one extreme or
the other seems to be the rule-either
very long, coming well down over the
hands. or else ending just above the
elbow.
A waist like that shown Is useful In
many ways. 1t IL cut on the right
lines by expert cutters. Women buy
these simple lace and net waists and
use them as a foundation on which
to build much more elaborate af-
fairs. BY adding chiffon d~rapery-em-

transformations and lift the waist

Despite a $45, 900 deficiency and the
almost complete depletion of stores Of
the institution, Superintendent Baxter
OF the Hastings state hospital reports
to Governor Morehead that affairs are
moving there in better fashion than at
any time In the past. Improvements
made In the medical division have en-
abled many permanent cures to be
made. At the present time the institu.

patients. In addition, there are fifty.
three females and forty-one males on

Lingerie Vanity eap.

Every woman knows the dainty
squares of linen or lawn with elab-
orately embroidered corners that are
called glove handkerchiefs. but every
woman doesn't know that they may be
fashioned into the most sanitary or
vanity bags. AS the glove handker-
chief Is never more than five inches

tiny will be the bag that Is formed

Ancient Temple Ornaments.

Lydiau inscriptions and will have
charge of that phase Of the archaeo-
logical excavations which deals with
the Lydian language. There has az
yet been no published account of the
translation Of these ancient docu-
ments.
When Professor Butler organized
and conducted the first archaeological
expedition into Syria the only indi-
cations Of the ancient city were two
stone pillars protruding about fifty
feet out OF the sand. Now, after Pro.
lessor Buffers fourth expedition, the
greater part of the ole city Is exposed.
Owing to the depth to which the TEN.
pie was buried 1t was found in q re.
markable state Of preservation. The
work was carried on under rather haz.
ardous conditions, for the great mass.
es Of fallen column drums often
threatened to pitch down some fifty
feet upon the native laborers.
At the end Of last seasons work the
entire ground plan and much Of the
superstructure OF the temple were Wis
ible. A large part of the foundation of
the temple Is OF pure white marble and
presents an imposing ruin, gigantic in
scale and very beautiful In detail. The
temple seems to have been undergoing
repairs when abandoned, for some of
the columns were beautifully f1uted.
with bases decorated In designs that
were neither Greek nor Roman. but
showed exquisite craftsmanship that is
purely Lydian. while others were un.
decorated except for portions where
the pattern had been blocked out. On
the base OF one of the fiuted columns
was found a very clearly carved Lydi.
inscription, indicating that the tenn.
