VARIETY IN BLOUSE MODELS
Idea for Most Attractive Combination
That Anyone With Taste Will
Be Able to Fashion.

Some of the new and costly blouse
models are made of white Indian mus
lin of cobweb texture, real valen'
ciennes and motifs of Maltese lace.
One of these models had loose fronts
which were crossed on the breast,
Tiny hand-run tucks appeared on the
transparent muslin, then there were
insertions of old yellow Valenciennes
and these insertions and tucks were
incrusted with effective motifs of Mall
tese lace.
The combination was exceedingly at
tractive and the model was to be worn
over a little underbodice made of flesh
pink chiffon. Such a blouse would look
beautiful if worn in conjunction with
An afternoon gown in midnight blue
taffeta or black charmeuse. The skirt
would probably be draped and there
would certainly be picturesque coatee
which would show off the dainty
blouse to perfection.
Flesh pink chiffon is very much
used in Paris as a lining for fine lin
gerie blouses. The color is so delicate
that it hardly suggests pink at all
Nevertheless, it throws out the pat
tern of the lace to perfection.

a Good Shot.

A San Franciscan, who has been
hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game, came upon
a mountaineer who was feeding a
Gagged wildcat he had caught the day

beast?" he asked.
The captor said S. and the money
was paid over.
Now" said the Nimrod, "tie one
end of a strong cord to that tree and
another to the cats neck, and then
open the door of the cage"
This was finally accomplished anc
the fierce animal stood straining at 1tF

The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior of th'

E4RTH'S MOST LONELY SPOTS
Islands Where Communication W'tn
the Great World Is at Rare In
tevas-Tristan da Cunna'

Though scientific progress has maze
it possible to do double journey be-
tween England and America in a fort
night, there remain many islands WIN
which it takes years to communicate.
Off the Scottish coast are u'e
groups Of islands known as the he
brides, Orkneys and Shetlands. Oi
these the most isolated island is st.
Kilda, some three miles long and two
miles broad. The inhabitants lead
lives of great loneliness, for It taxes
a month to get to the next island
and the sea often makes any com
munication with St. Kilda impossible
for months.
The group of eight Phoenix islands
in the Pacific has total population CT
only 1853, while another little bit OF
the British empire is flaming island
This is landing place for the Paclfc
submarine cable, and usually there
are about one hundred people IN the
place,
The loneliest of all parts of British
territory is the Island of Tristan Da
Cunha in the South Atlantic, which
is also the smallest inhabited island
in the empire. 1t is 1880 miles from
land, has a population of "A Scottish
Americans, and the inhabitants get
news of the outer world usually once
every two years.
