It would be easy to copy such a gownin a variety of ma terials for there are lovely crepes and silks without num- Der that are per fectly adapted to the bodice and over drapery while the skirt could be made of charmeuse satin in place of velvet or an exceed. ingiy beautiful effect could be ob- tained by usipg satin for the boei,ce and over drapery with velvet for the skirt, as in this instance.
 For the medium size, the bodice will require 21s yds. of material 27, 1R yds. 30 or A in. wide, with 34 yd. of tulle for the trimming, the skirt 38 yds. A in. wide, with lH yds. A for the drapery and 2H yds. of lace.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
 AS TO MAKING TEA.
Il 7a,s3l,s


 Various methods have been devised for lifting the leaves In the teapot from the water after the tea is prewed- The tea ball is not very successful. if economy is considered, for unless it is very large it confines the leaves so that they do not unron entirely. With most tea balls and perforated tea mak- ing, spoons the perforations are so large as to allow fine teas to escape and to make a strainer necessary.
 When the Russian samovar is used to heat the water strainer is apt to be used over the cup. the water merely dripping through once. This requires twice the amount of tea that is or dinarily needed. There are teapots with a big tea ball that swings from chain attached to the knob of the cover. As soon aszthe tea is brewed this ball may be lifted above the liquor and caught high and dry. These pots come in all sizes and all metals and in great variety of shapes, from the old time teapot style to the modern samovar and urn.
 A tea making spoon is a convenience if fresh individual cup is needed for aa1ate conner.

ATTIC CLOTHES CLOSET.

How to Make Roonny One Where un-
 used Garments May Be Hung.
 When the storeroom or attic is large enough and does not contain closet part of it should be partitioned off and made as air tight as possible. or course the ideal arrangement is to have a ce- dar closet, but when this is not possI ble the closet should have it's walls wiped down thoroughly with turpen- tine and then lined with tar paper.
 Poles can then be adjusted and placed high enough from the floor to allow draperies to be suspended from them. These should, Of courses be thoroughly aired and dusted and pro tected by muslin bags
 Hanging in this way heavy fabrics become neither creAsed nor torn In this closet may also be hung velvet gowns and evening wraps or any other garments whose material should not be marked by pressure in trunk. When this arrangement is not possible garments may be suspended from a rack, protected in camphor bags: which can be bought especially for this pur- pose.

PUTTING CLOTHES AWAY.
Before Being Stored Theys Should Be
 ThoroucE1Iy Cleaned.


 Before Being Stored Theys Should Be
 Thoroughly Cleaned.
 In the fall, when trunks are emptied of the heavier winter garments, there is plenty of room for the summer clothing just discarded. Bedroom clos cts are generally only large enough to hold those garments which are used constantly, and so the lawns and dimi- ties must be packed away until the following season
 Garments should not be laid away slightly soiled, nor should they remain ironed and starched A soiled article is surely not cleanly, and it is apt to fall into holes, and, on the other hand, q starehed piece that will not be used for some time is apt to turn yellow and so will have to be bleached as we'll as washed before next seasons wear
 The most practical way is to have all such clothes thoroughly and care fully washed and to lay them away when perfectly dry. unironed and un; starched.K Curtains should also be treated in the same way, and in the fall they should be mended and fresh ly laundered before being hung

Today's Short Story
Hidden Wealth


 Sir Hugh Verne sat in the home of his forefathers looking about him hope lessly. On the morrow the place was to be sold to pay sdehts that had been accommodating for century. The pres ent owner was to become of age on the very day of the sale. To add to his distress he loved younger daugh- ter of Lord Montague. a neighboring landowner
 Verne was sitting in a room that had been occupied ever since the house was built three centuries before for H- bfary. On one side of a large bay window stood a revolving geographical globe; opposite 1t statue of a Sir Hugh Verne who had been dead 15O years. He had been miserIy. and un- der his regime the estate had increased in value, but at his death the funds he was supposed to have accumulated did not appear. He had during his later days erected the statue of himself in his library, directing that no other monument to his memory be placed. The forefnger of the right hand of the statue pointed directly to the globe. One of his descendants, thinking that the finger indicated place where some of his missing wealth was hidden. had had the globe taken apart: but, finding nothing Of value, it had been restored. The present Sir Hugh's father, Sir Thomas Verne, had opened the wall back of the globe at point in line with the finger. but he, too, had been dis appointed. He had found the estate impoverished by his predecessor and had brooded over the misfortune he saw surely coming for his son. From the sons boyhood he had heard his father debating as to the meaning of the pointing finger and believed he had some reason for surmising that 1t re ferred to hidden money.
 Sir Hugh sat gloomily looking at the statue 1t was an hour before noon and the day was the 21st of September Neither the hour nor the date made any impression on the young baron, except that the date was present in his mind as the day previous to the sale. Nevertheless an idea occurred to him, an idea which came down through thousands of years. He had read that when the great pyramid of Cheops was built to entomb king an inclined pas sage was left, through which star at the verna1 equinox would shine in upon

uaIuat Dresses Smart.

According to the Dry Goods Econo- mist, the military influence is appear ing in velvet dresses. These are made to button straight up the front and through the collar, which is about one and one-half inches high and of mill tary cut. Above this low collar are double ruches of net which entirely encircle the throat. This somewhat re- Iieves the severe style of the bodice.
 Owing to the cut of-the bodice, in many cases, the velvet dresses have more the appearance of suit. This is particularly true of the redingote styles trimmed with fur.

The skirts to these little dresses frequently have the tunic or founced effect, and sashes and belts give q finishing touch to many of the best selling styles.
 For older girls the styles are made very similar to those noted in the grownups. and The moyen age effects are particularly desirable. Redingote dresses are also looked upon with ia vor.
