Orange flag. The province of Ulster as a
geographical unit is composed of ten
counties. and has a population of 1,5SO,0N
out of the total Irish population of 4.3S2,
600. According to religious belief the
people of Ulster are divided into Go,ooc
Roman Catholics. 36i.0OO Episcopalians,
49, 900 Presbyterians 10000 Methodists
and about 10000 of all other denomina-
tons. Geographically these religious sec
tions with their reflected political diff
ferences, are so divided that four of
the ten counties are Protestant and
unionist, four are Catholic and national
ist, and two are approximately evenly
divided. The four unionist counties are
in the northeast of the province and
occupy about one-fourth of its territorial
extent, although having half of its popu-
lation. 1t is of these four northeastern
counties Londonderry, Belfast. Antrim

SPORT SKIRTS HELD
BY PEASANT BRETELLES

Modish sport skirts this season are
often held on by peasant belts and bre-
telles. The oddity of the belt is that II
seems to be very loose and stands out
from the skirt on its lower edge a little
to give the untitled look that is the pc
culiarity of so many waist lines this
season.
In such cases the belt is generally at
tached to the skirt. which it matches in
color and material, by its upper edge.
This means that the skirt has an under
belt to which the outside one can be
tackled or sewn. The bretelles are gen.
orally simply straps of the material.
sometimes passing directly over the
shoulders. Some of the more pretentious
are slightly shaped into a skeleton jumper

cape the straps are often on the cape
instead of being attached to the skirt

these sport skirts. from the plain linen
models that approach suspiciously again
the old shirtwaist lines to the more frilly
ones with winged collars of organdie or
embroidery.
BodIces Decorated with Braid.
Cotton golfine. crepe, or velours are
seen in this style of dress. Sometimes
the belt is shaped into a real peasant
bodice, the edges have a decorative
braiding. and IT buttons down the front

The blouse that does not have a collar
that rises above the neck in a fiowerlike
calyx shape is either a very personal
model or old-fashioned. An infinite vari-
ETY. of ways of doing this keeps this
mode from being monotonous and tire
scme. There are mere little rolls OF or
candle or lace for the short-necked wom-
en-. just to the deep wired lace wing-like
collars that are bent by the supporting

BIG PROFIT IN

stead In South Africa where one will not

trich farming. and there is no doubt that
1udicious investment in this business is
productive Of sound profit. In twelve
months 1910 pounds of ostrich feathers,
valued at 100000 was exported from
South Africa. and these figures are stead
ily rising.
The ostrich rearing industry has e.-
tablished hundreds. even thousands, Of

Layette Basket of Sweet

and under the hanging light was very
ordinary workbasket filled with partly
finished tiny garments of soft deserted,
and nothing stirred until a soft rustic
of skirts whispered upon the stairs. Then
the draperies parted and an elderly wom-

her arm she carried a sweet-grass bas-
ket of clothing under the hanging light.
She placed. one by one, the little gar
ments in the new sweet-smelling basket
and placed the new basket under the
hanging light, leaving It there for the
young mother-to-he to find upon her re-
turn and taking the old basket away.

SOME POINTERS ON PALMIsTRY,

The hands show the owners character
istics as strongly as do the face anc
head general idea Of some of then
may be gained from the following hints
on palmistry:
Smooth. conicai fingers are a sign Of
talkativeness and levity.
Strong, knotted fingers show prudence
and capacity.
A palm too slim, narrow. and feeble in
dicates instinct without capacity.
II the palm is too large, the person Is
coarse and animal-like.
If the outer joint of the fingers form a
knot, the person has well arranged ideas.
The individual who has knots at the
middle joints of the fingers always has
a place for everything and everything in
its place.
Intellect belongs to knotted fingers,
grace to smooth ones.
The person whose fingers are smooth
and pointed Ia guided wholly by inspira-
ton and never has a reason for what he
does
The hard, wrinkled hand which is
opened to its full extent with difficulty
shows intractability, a mind without
plIancy.
Large hands mean a close attention to
minute details.
Broad nails show the owner to be BASH
full and gentle.
