FAMOUS OLD MEXICAN CITY
SIghtseers Look Upon Militia as One of
the Chief Points of Interest
In the Country.

Among the many ruined cities Of
Mexico dating back to antiquity is
Militia, of unusual interest to the sight
seer. The name is contraction or
corruption of the word Mictlan, mean
ing "the place Of death" The modern
village and the ancient ruins occupy
the center of an arid plain or valley,
surrounded on all sides by equally
arid hills, On the highest summit
of which are the well-preserved re-
mains of a great fortress, whose
walls are Of rough construc-
ton and without ornament of any
kind. Nearly in the center Of the
plain five great groups of buildings
stand out completely exposed. Many
Of them are now nearly shapeless
mounds and masses OF ruins. Two
great groups, however, are in compar-
atively perfect preservation, a third
is Incorporated with an old church,
and a fourth, the great sacrifcial
mound, is surmounted by the ruins of
a very ancient church. The principal
buildings are of stone masonry.

Tor the dance or the garden party

tivtties the ARREST and prettiest of
gowns may be made like this one of
sheer organdy pictured here And
there is any number of transparent
or semi-transparent materials from
which to make a choice suited to the
design. There are the plain and fig
ured nets, voiles, swiss organdy, ba-
ttste, and the finer lawns, besides silk
muslin and chiffon
This is an American design, orig
inal and simple. It is prettily girlish
and need not shrink from comparison
with the product OF any French estab-
lishment. There is an underskirt and
waist of silk muslin For this under
slip the thin washable Chinese and
Japanese silks are desirable, for they
can be readily cleaned. A baby waist,
with rather full sleeves, and a plain,
moderately full skirt, answers this
purpose and is to be made as a sepa-
rate garment
The outside skirt is also straight
and plain. 1t is trimmed into very
shallow scaIlops at the bottom and
these are finished with a narrow ruff

FRENCH LEGION OF HONOR
HighIy-Prized Decoration Which Every
Son of France Has the Ambi-
ton to Receive.

The first decorations of the Legion
of Honor, the famous French order of
merit, were conferred in 1902 upon
military and civil officers who had dis
tinguished themselves under the con-
sulate. The order, was founded May
IS, 1902, by Napoleon, when he was
first consul. 1t consisted of various
grades, as grand crosses, grand Off
GERS, commanding officers and legion
aries, and was a reward for services
of merit. The order was confirmed by
Louis XVIII when the Bourbons were
returned to the throne a century ago,
and it has been continued, with neces-
sary changes in the constitution,
through the reigns of Charles K, Louis
Philippe, Napoleon III, and the second
and third republics. Many Americans
and British subjects and other for
egners have received the decorations
OF the Legion of Honor.

overskirt, which is caught up at each
side by a group of nine tiny tucks
placed over the hips.
The neck is cut square in front and
there is a square turnover collar OF
lace in the back and edging Of lace
set in at the front. A strand of pearls
is worn, most appropriately, with this,
as a neck finish. Two smart aces
sories complete the costume. They
are a wide girdIe OF figured ribbon
and a cluster of little flowers, forget

der the overskirt at the left side. The
girdle is finished at the back with a

If 1t were not for the sleeves one
might say this gown lacks any dis
tinctively original and picturesque
touch. But they are features of i'm
portance. The bodice. cut in kimOnO
fashion, with full short sleeves, de-
ponds upon them for its smartness.

New Wireless for AeropIanes.

John Hays Hammond, Jr., has per

telegraph apparatus for aer0planes
which he intends to sell to the gov
eminent. His instrument embodies
several new features which have not
yet been made public, among them a
new coherer 20 times as sensitive as
those now in use. This will enable
aviators to receive messages as well
as send them. To the present time
the wireless instruments. used on aero
planes have been only to transmit,
and the inability to receive messages
has kept the operators tied to their
