which the people of Rio de Janeiro
considered unscalable.
In this embarrassing dilemma the
Brazilian government determined to
knock over the staff by shooting at
it. The Brazilian fleet was ordered
to shoot the offending pole OF the
top of the mountain. Either they
could not train their guns to the re-
quired angle of elevation or the tar
get was too narrow for a successful
shot. At any rate, the English flag

be expressed in the following words:

Perlshable Materials,

Everything nowadays. except lace
and jewels. seems to be perishable in
very short space. Tulle, chiffon, silk
velvets and taffetas moire have no
stamina, and even furs are dressed
and cut about to such an extent that
they are utterly fragile. And yet, with
all this, we are progressing toward
common sense in our way Of dressing.
We no longer tight lace. We need not
pinch our toes, it is very bad taste to
wear a glove size too small. and we
wear much less false hair than we did
a year or two ago.

size Of your neck and sew tiny clasp.
From the other half sew the opposite
side Of the clasp. Now you have an
effect of black ribbon around your
neck, if low collar is worn.
To put the veil on the hat first put
around the neck and fasten the clasp
then take the two ends and draw up
on the hat, drawing the veil into place
as heretofore. 1t will be very neat
and there will be no raw edge. This
new idea increases the wear of the
veil and keeps it fresh looking as long
as it lasts.
The very latest word in wells Is a
pale lavender with strange black fig.
ures that seem only to be on the sur.

At most shops the ribbon will be
sewed on by machine when the veil
is purchased if the customer desires it.
