NOTHING more unusual than our
IN old and honored friend In straw,
the leghorn hat is employed in max
ing this piece of real millinery, in
which exquisite design Is matched
with exquisite workmanship.
An unusually clever milliner might
evolve almost an exact copy OF this
hat from one of those fine old-fash-
Toned leghorn flats" which we have al
ways known. She would have to sub
stitute a caplike crown of rice net or
buckramette for the original crown,
cut away an inch and half from the
edge. and use the cutaway strip for
bordering the underbrim and mount
to brim on the crown with the re-
CURED extra headsize net cut out at
the front and right side.
Preparing a shape in this way is
not an easy matter, but the shape once
obtained il easy enough to trim. In
asmuch as the upper brim and the top
crown are covered with lace this Is an
excellent model to choose for making
over q Stat OF leghorn that has be-
come discolored or sunburned.

vealed to the leader of the host.
Geology clearly reveals to us the
means used by the Lord for the ac-
complishment of this purpose.
Jericho was built upon the made
land formed by the sediment which
had accumulated In the valley of the
Jordan when in glacial times lake
1,400 feet deep extended from the
Dead Sea as far north as Lake Gall
lee. This sediment is unconsolidated
and is a hundred or more feet in
depth. Walls built upon such a
foundation would easily be shaken
down by moderate earthquake.
We have a striking illustration Of
this statement In what took place dur
ing the San Francisco earthquake OF
1906. The committee of eminent ge-
ologists which reported upon this
earthquake say that the greatest
destruction Of buildings was along
the floor OF the valley system,
ground" Santa Rosa, situated twen-
ty miles from the rift. was the
most severely shaken town in the
state and suffered the greatest disas-
ter relatively to its population and ex-
tent" Healdsburg, San Jose, Agnews
and Stanford university were also
among the greatest sufferers. "All
of these places are situated on the val
ley floor and are underlain to con-
siderable depth by loose or but slight
ly coherent geological formations.
This ground seems to have behaved
during the earthquake very much in
the same way as jelly in a bowl, or
as semi-liquid material In a tank.
The earth waves which pass through
the highly elastic rocks swiftly with
a small amplitude seem in this ma
terial to have been transformed into
slow fluctuations of great amplitude,
which were excessively destructive"
Two situations could scarcely be more
alike than these In the Santa Rosa
and the Jordan valleys. In both cases
the regions are continually subject to
earthquakes. A geologist has mo- DIFF
ficulty in crediting the Bible story.

for an afternoon gown, and therefore
they form the choice of majority Of
women who find one really good Wis
iting gown a season sufficient for their
needs. And visiting gown" Is to be
construed as meaning gown in which
to call or to receive calls. The deep,
clear shades of blue-"true blue"-are
becoming to every complexion.
A stunning afternoon gown Is shown
here from French designer who
keeps to conservative and refined
styles. 1t is cleverly planned to add
the effect of slenderness and height
to the figure. The waist line at the
back is normal and a downward dip
of the belt at the front makes the
waist look small.
The drapery in the skirt is placed
very low and the material hangs with
out fulness over the hips. All the
sharp curves which characterize the
stout figure are softened in this model.
The two graduated and shaped
fiounces are splendidly effective for
this purpose and also take the place
of the much admired tunic.
The bodice is slightly bloused and
very plain, as 1t should be to carry
off the vest of handsome brocade.
This vest is the feature of the gown
and is to be more or less gorgeous,

just now, because, for the stout WON
an, this style is better followed lin the
breach than the observance"
The skirt, drawn In about the feet
by the drapery, Is cut sufficiently wide
for a free step. The fiounces have a
hemstitch finish at the edges.
The close-fitting tall turban worn
with this gown foreshadows the modes
of fall and is worth studying. The
shape Is very graceful and very simply
trimmed. 1t is of bright-finished straw,
trimmed with narrow MORE ribbon,

The seals Of the present emperor are
distinguished as privy and state seals.
They are each three inches square.
The state seal is used for the most
part upon documents relating to for
eign countries and has Chinese char
acters engraved upon It.; the privy
seals are stamped on imperial re-
scripts, issued for proclamations at
home.
There are two ways of engraving
characters on q seal, relief and in

while In the other they are repre-
scented in white on colored ground.
The ink used for stamping is gen.

The cheapest OF the Japanese seals
are made of lockwood, and are sold at
five cents each Most seals are oval
in shape, but some are round and
others square. They rarely exceed
one-half inch in diameter.
