PLAITS ON THE UNDERSKIRT
indispensable for Wear on the New
Evening Gowns That Are
Being Worn.

Many Of the new evening gowns
show plated underskirts. The plaits
are either of the accordion order or
quite fiat; they fluff out at the hem In
a most engaging manner, and for dane
ing they are quite ideal, because when
made Of Oriental satin or charmeuse
they cling in about the feet and look
eminently graceful.
For walking costumes also plated
skirts become more and more fashion
able.
Two Of the most notable dress art
lists of the Rue de Ia Paix have always
refused to ~countenance ultra-tight or
~ultra.short skirts. On one occasion a
famous dressmaker was heard to say
that he had never in his life per-
mitted an entraye skirt to leave his es-
Enlistment. And then the majority Of
the noted painters who have recently
interested themselves so much about
modern fashions have voted in favor of
plated skirts and floating draperies.
These experienced artists have
pointed out, and with reason, that a
charming woman becomes doubtly fas-
cinating when she is enveloped in
mystery, when her pretty feet are
partly hidden, when her graceful form
is disguised and yet displayed by skill
fully arranged draperies.

THE summer girl should take to
j heart that good old adage which
advises that in times Of peace we
should prepare for war. Now that
days are cold, evenings long and
spring styles already fairly well set
tied, she should get ready for the sum-
mer season. All of her dainty linge-
rie--so much more worthwhile when
made at home-and several of her
pretty gowns will make the last of
winter fly away. The work is SO in
teresting and its constant suggestion
OF springtime SO inspiring!
If one knows how to embroider
even a little bit, the smartest of white
wolfe gowns made up with laces,
should be got under way. Fashionable
embroidery for gowns will not try any
ones eyes, for 1t is done in bold
stitches, like the strokes Of a paint
brush.
Flounced gowns and draped skirts
are to be with us this spring. Print
ed voiles and cotton crepes will be
popular, and taffeta silk has an as
sured triumph before it.
White voile and lace may be COM
bined to make a dress like that pic
tured here. There is a plain founda-
ton skirt of net or a very thin fabric,
with a flounce of lace about the bot
tom. Over this are three plated

tiounces Of wolfe, draped as shown In
the Illustration.
The bodice is a drapery of lace over
a baby waist of yoile. For the more
practical American girl this French
design is likely to be changed a little.
The wolfe underwaist is to be made
with round Dutch neck and elbow
sleeves, we which the same simple
drapery of lace will fall. This makes
a dress that is appropriate for both
afternoon and evening, and is one of
several styles for gowns Of the same
character.
The summer girl must provide her
self with sashes and girdles. With
them she can ring changes on her
pretty clothes. Beads, too, must not
be neglected in her summer equip
ment. And it is not a matter of
quality so much as of color that
counts in beads.
Winter days and evenings will not
be dull for the young woman who is
enterprising enough to engage in the
most absorbing of occupations, and
that is, getting together and making
ready the new wardrobe. 1t is a pity
to leave this work to some one else
and not to put into each pretty gown
and accessory something of ones per
sOnality.

No Room for Street Cars.

The city Of Canton, China, with a
million and a half inhabitants, has no
place for a street railway system.
Canton is one of the weaIthiest and
most progressive of all the Chinese
cities, and it would very much
like a modern street railway system.
But the space within the ancient walls
and Notifications is SO crowded that
many of the so-called streets are but
narrow alleys, not wen wide enough
for two sedan chairs to pass. There
is no room for horses and carriages
and certainly not sufficient space for
a narrow-gauge railway. But the Chi
nese engineers are not so easily baf-
fed, and Canton will have its electric
railway. 1t Is planned to tear down
the ancient stone walls and fortifica-
lions which encircle the entire city.
The material from these walls will be
used to fill some of the old canals
which traverse the city. A three-track
belt line will be constructed on the
site Of the old wall, completely en-
circling the city, and the old canal
sites will be used for feeder lines.

Catch Sea Cow on Coast.

Whether the skill shown by William
Steamer, negro fisherman, in lasso-
ing a large shark at the Breakers
Hotel pier, caused the appearance
there Of a sea cow has stumped even
the old time yarn spinning fishermen
who pride themselves as solvers OF
Aquatic riddles.
A score of persons were gathered
on the pier watching several West
Indians draw in their nets. Much to
the surprise of the spectators and the
negroes the sea COW was brought to
the surface of the water. Fishermen
well acquainted with these waters
say that the sea COW is nov extreme
ly rare, so much so in fact that it is
against the law to kill one. Conse-
quently, after the negroes had hauled
it close enough to the pier so that its
cumbersome form could be seen, the
COW was released. In view of Steam
er's feat and the later incident, the
waters around the pier have been
called the corrall.-Palm Beach fla

How to Place Your Ruas.

To preserve harmony in a room, the
rugs, whether one or more, must be
laid on the floor with the edges par
allel with the edges Of the floor; net
thrown on, creating all sorts Of ugly
spots by the rugs and by the floor
spots left around them. If one rug
is used 1t should conform as nearly
as possible to the proportions,
particularly when the room is pleas
ing in its proportions. When the room
is not SO the rug may help to make it
so. For example, IL the room is too
long for the width, select a rug which
will nearly cover the room in width
and will leave a considerable area of
floor exposed at either end. This will
tend to shorten the appearance Of
the room and to shorten it in length
by opposition of direction. II a room
is to be distinctly a period room, an
Oriental rug can seldom be used to
advantage.

AS WHISTLE BLEW
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Five minutes after the whistle had
blown old Peters arrived home from
the mill. He came softly into the cot
tage and flung himself down in the
large imitation leather instalment
chair. From the kitchen came the
smell of cooking. Presently his wife
looked into the room.
Are you home. Michael?" she asked.
That was the invariable greeting.
For nearly forty years Michael Peters
had worked in the big mill. 1t had Ia
ken the best of his life and strength,
and, though he held a position as fore
man there, and earned fair wages, he
had of late begun to conceive al I'M
utterable loathing for the place.
His life was regulated by the whis-
tie. It called him from his bed, called
him to work, called him to his lunch,
and dismissed him with q blast at six
o'clock in the evening. There had
beer a time, many years before, when
ne had had ambitions; but these had
long ago been ground out of him in the
remorseless machinery of that con-
m Of men.
His only son, Donald, was to enter
the mill next month. The boy had
finished his course at the high school.
Old Michael had put him through that,
at a sacrifice which only his wife and
himself understood. He had hoped to
fit him for something better, but Of
late Michael Peters had begun to
realize that his time of working abil-
ity was running short. He would not
be able to work in the mill more than
a few years longer. And Donald must
take his place to earn the family in
come when he dropped out.
How he loathed the mill! 1t seemed
each day that he could hardly drag
his weary limbs to work. And Donald
must look forward to a life of this!
Michael" said his wife that eve
ming, I'm thinking Donald has a
sweetheart in town.
What" shouted Michael. who is
it?"
"The Farrelly girl
Peters knew her by sight; one Of
the new hands in the machine room.
She was a commonplace girl enough,
pretty in an anaemic way, just an or
binary mill girl, neither attractive nor
the reverse. There we're a thousand
such as she in the town.
80 he's thinking of getting married,
is he?" said Michael sc~ornfully.
Hasn't he the wits to profit by his ia
theirs experience? Now, woman, |

struggle to keep things going? Have
you looked round and seen the other

Tears of dismay came into the girls

STOPS JUST SHORT OF DEATH
Russian Scientist Asserts He Can
Freeze the Human Body and Aft
erWard Restore Animation.

Whether it will be possible in the
in a state Of anabiosis so that they will
be no expense to him while he happens
to be out of a job or in need of divert
ing his income from it's usual course
of expenditure for a limited period is
a question that arises in connection
with the experiments Of Professor
Bachmetief, the Russian scientist, in
the extension Of anabiosis to the high.
err organisms.
Anabiosis, a state in which all vital
functions are suspended without occa-
sioning death, has been known for
about 200 years, according to the
Scientific American, but only in the
lower organisms. II Professor Bach
metief's experiments are successful it
will be shown that the higher organ
isms including men, are also capable
Of entering into this state. Both in the
world of science and in that of mate
rial affairs the successful outcome of
these experiments would be revolution,
airy. Professor Bachmetief is conduct
ing them especially with a view to ma
king them of practical use in the
treatment of tuberculosis, and he also
expects that they will be Of great value
in devolping asprocess whereby ami
mails could be transported to consider
able distance and restored to life
whenever required. This would be of
immense value in the markets of the
world.
Professor Bachmetief first expert
mented on insects and found that while
the humors of insect bodies freeze at
five degrees centigrade, and all vital
functions become impossible at this
temperature, death occurs only at ten
degrees. Between the temperature at
which the vital functions cease and the
lethal temperature is the state of ma
biosis-the intermediary condition be-
tween life and death. After a consid-
cradle time, Professor Bachmetief
found, it was possible to restore ami.
mails to life from this state by a grad.
ual rise in temperature.

lnterestinn Prehistoric Find.

A great prehistoric find has been
made by biologists from the La Plata
museum, Argentine, who have been
examining certain excavations which
have been made at Mizamar. Stone
implements and various human bones
we're found. These are taken to prove
that man already existed in the ter
tiary epoch. The discovery is the first
evidence of the existence of man in
the new world in the tertiary epoch.
Until now human remains in the ter
tiary have only been found in the old
world, where, possibly, man existed as
far back as 10000 years. The re-
Gently discovered Piltdown skull is at
least 200,0 900 years old.
