the way the drivers of motor cars tear around.
The drivers have union OF their own and
they dictate things to suit themselves. When
ever one Of them hits pedestrian he throws on
more power and races Off never waiting to see
whether or not he killed his victim And they hit
them with frghtfu frequency. Every day the

Ancient Covenant of Blood.

In the worlds most ancient records
the monuments Of Egypt-we find
evidence of the existence Of the cove
nant of blood Even then it seems to
have been a custom to covenant by
tasting the blood from another's arm.
In the Book of the Dead" the most
ancient and most important OF the
sacred books of the Egyptians, there
are several references TO blood cove
nanting and incidental mention of the
tasting of blood by gods and by men.
An inscription on an ancient Egyp-
tian monument details a legend of the
rebellion of mankind against the gods;
of an edict of destruction against the
human race; Of a divine interposition
for the rescue of the doomed people.
In this legend a prominent part is
given to human blood mixed with the
juice of mandrakes (love apples) and
prepared as a drink to propitiate the
offended gods.

Old Estimate Of Field Hands.

The sixteenth century earl of War
wick stayed the slaughter after the
suppression of Kett's rising by an ar
gument which shows how completely
agricultural workers we're regarded as
mere hands" OF the 10000 insur-
gents who had encamped with Kett
on Household Heath, 1000 or 5000
had been killed in the battle-the
strength of the victors lying in Ger
man and Italian mercenaries. Kett
himself was hanged from the walls of
Norwich castle, As others were hang
ed, drawn and CHARTERED in the mar
ket place, and SEQ in all are said to
have been executed. Warwick check

Der of victims by asking, What shall
we do, then? Hold the pillow ourselves,

The sleeves are finished at the wrist
with two single frills.
Sometimes two kinds OF net are
used, but often shadow lace makes
the outside waist, over plain net.
Heavier alLover laces are used as
well.
In any of these the waist is so
sheer that fancy corset cover must
be worn under the blouse. These are
of lace, chiffon, net or thin silk. They
are trimmed with ribbon and small
chiffon or ribbon flowers, and are very
pretty.
Using a plain net waist as a
foundation, more beautiful effects are
made by draping lace or chiffon wells
over them and supplying wide
crushed girdle OF silk or velvet. Lace
wells. In colors are used for the same
purpose, and tinted nets and laces
make possible an unending variety in
these thin, soft garments.
Three such blouses take up so lit.
tie room that they may be carried in
a small box or bag. They are very
convenient for the southern tourist,
and they are indispensable with the
seasons suits.

we must concede to the French de-
signer a masterful handling of the
drapery. 1t is modest, but is meant
to be conspicuous. 1t is original and
sticks to beautiful lines, so that there
Is no straining after novel effect at
the expense CT taste.
The headdress is in keeping with
the character of the gown. 1t is made
of rhinestOnes and a magnificent spray
of costly feathers. The hair is pecul-
iarly dressed but suits the type of face
of the model in the Illustration, which
is pure French.
Altogether the gown, couture, and
hair ornament suit this type incom-
parably we'll, so that the ensemble is
full of fascination. One could hardly
be other than charming with a toilette
so complete and so beautiful And 1t
is the knowledge that she is making a
charming appearance which lends
charm to those wonderful French
women. to whom the world owes a
debt of gratitude. They are preserv-
ing charm; they take care to be charm

EASY To UNDERSTAND
WOMAN SOLVES PUZZLE THAT
HAD CAUSED ARGUMENT.
Final Conclusion Was That Men Did
Not Need to attend Women's
Meetings, Since Wives Would
Tell Them All About II.

II was Has p. m The man and his
not come home together. They had
not been to the same place. She had
been to meeting for women only, he
to one for men.
Said the woman: There was a man
at our meeting tonight"
Said the man: There were about
hundred women tried to push their
way into ours"
That one man." said she. looked
awfully scared
Those hundred women" said he.
didn't look a bit scared"
Il think" said she, the man got
into our hall by mistake. Anyhow, he
got away as soon as he could"
There was no mistake about those
women being there" said the man.
"and they didn't leave until they were
shooted away"
There was a short silence. Said the
man presently:
1T is this difference in the attitude
OF the sexes toward the meetings fOr
women only and for men only that
makes me feel morally superior. 1t
makes me proud Of my sex. l haven't
the slightest desire-no man has the

an who admitted that they would will
irgly sacrifice a years normal pleas
ures for the privilege of being SNUG
gled into a Masonic initiation or some
other masculine rite. Contrast that
prying spirit with the modesty OF men.
On your own showing, when a man IS
accidentally trapped in a hall where
beauty congress or a dressmakers' con-
vention Is in progress, he is so miser-
able that the fly in the spiders web
had a picnic compared with his mar
tyrdom. That. to my mind, is pun
gent commentary on the disposition OF
man and woman. Can you explain it,"
The woman admitted that she could
not explain it-furtheruore that she
did not intend to try.
There was another silence. Said the
woman after a little: What happened
at your meeting tonight"
"Oh, nothing much" said the man.
What happened at yours?"
Everything" said the woman. Then
she proceeded to tell him what every
thing comprised 1t took more than
half an hour to tell It, Every now and
then the man, for consistency's sake.
tried to look bored, but the air Of IN
difference was i'll assumed. The mar
rative really interested him, and he
was sorry when it was finished. The
story being ended, there was another
silence. Suddenly the woman said:
81 can answer your question now.
What question:"
why women are crazy to go to
mems meetings, while men wouldn't
give a fig to go to women meetings.
It Is because the women come home
and tell the men everything that hap
pened, so they don't need to go.
whereas the men never tell the women
anything"

NETS AND SHADOW
LACES USED FOR
THE LATEST BLOUSE

THE last step in the direction OF
l thin materials for blouses is said.
There isn't anything thinner than nets
and shadow laces.
An underblouse with sleeve caps,
(finished with lace) Is made of the
same net as that used over it, in
the waist model shown here. A broad
band of ribbon is tackled to it below
the bust and finished with bow at
the left side. The blouse with long
sleeves is placed over this. The Shout
der seams and under arm seams are
In one.
A double frill Of net encircles the
neck and extends down the front with
round pearl buttons for fastening.

Two Kinds Of Wrinkles.

Can you tell the difference between
wrinkles produced by smiling and
those produced by discomfort? And
which would you rather have? Per
haps you say Neither" But the
wrinkles from happiness only come
after couple of scores of years OF
smiling, while those which spring from
worry may grow over night.
Another argument for the smile
wrinkle is that when it comes it is
really attractive, curving up and Civ
ing the face even in repose a happy
expression. On the other hand, the
lines born of discomfort make the ex-
preston unhappy.
There are few smiling faces in any
big city. There is an anxious, hur-
ried look on every face you pass on
the street. Is 1t any wonder young
women grow wrinkled before their
time and are forced to spend hours
in the hands Of masseuse. so that
they may frOwn as much as they like
at other times?
