Bizarre Effects For Completing Many
Modish New Costumes.

Modish New Costumes.
Sashes and girdles are as important
this season as cuffs and collars in the
completing of Il modish costume. BIZ
zarre indeed, but oddly smart, was Il
sash OF pink ribbon edged with black
monkey fur worn in one Of the fash
ionable restaurants in New York.
The fringe Of black monkey fur was
the only dark touch in the costume,
which was Of shell pink pussy willow
silk. with u bodice Of chiffon over lace.
The wide girdIe Of pink satin ribbon
drew in the soft bodice in basque eff
feet above and below the waist line,
the fringe Of monkey fur falling over
the hip.
Ribbons play an important part in
the making of Sashes this season, al
though one sees also many handsome
girdles and sashes Of plain and plaided
pussy willow tatfeta and of MORE silk.
Chiffon and mirror velvets are also
made into rich sashes for wear with
afternoon frocks. Velvet is not correct
form for morning wear. These velvet
sashes usually have but one end at the
back, hanging from a fiat bow or Il COW
cred buckle, and Il silk tassel weights
the sash end.
Very lever is a bOned girdle ten
inches wide. with Il pointed extension
below, which, donned over u bodice of
the same color and material, gives the
effect OF a fitted basque. These girdles
come in black. navy, brown and green

AMES WEATHERBY awakened
at & O'Clock on Sunday morning
and lay staring at the walls of

and lay staring at the walls of
his room. On them were Il dingy
daub OF Il water mill and an engraving
OF Benjamin Franklin. Being in a
court, not Il ray of sunlight could per-
meate the apartment.
six mornings had Weatherby awak-
ened in this room, and this was the
seventh-not the seventh day Of the
week. but the seventh day since he
mad awakened in his own little home.
Turning on his side, his eyes rested
on one of those framed words one
sees here and there in lieu Of pictures.
1T read God Bless Our Home and
under it Remember the Sabbath
Day" He thought Of the Sunday
mornings that he had awakened at
home. Little Jim climbed out of his
crib and joined his father in bed. while
Mrs. Jim went downstairs to start the
breakfast. Big Jim, on his back,
would hold little Jim up ut arms
length, his feet under the child.
Then had come quarrels between
Weatherby and his wife. Mrs. Wealth
erby was frugal, and jim was careless
with his money. He was hard for an
economical wife to manage, and some
times she would lose her patience with
him.. At last Jim declared he would
no longer stand her narrowing, as he
called it, and left her.
This was a week ago. AS Jim lay
looking ut the words God Bless Our
Home" and Remember the Sabbath
Day he went Over and over again in
his mind those happy Sunday mornings
he had spent at home. After he and
little Jim had had their play he had
taken his bath, put on his Sunday
clothes, and on that morning he had
always helped Jimmie to dress. Then
the three had met at the breakfast ta-
Die. Oh which there was always some
thing nice provided for Sunday morn
ing.
While Weatherby was looking at the
notices on the wall and thinking of
his home the words We're having their
effect on his heart. 1t seemed to him
that there was a connection between
the two. "God Bless Our Home caused
him to think what home was. how diff
ferent from the lonely room to which
he had moved. and ''Remember the
Sabbath Day" set him to thinking in A
quiet vein. After all, was not the econ
omy his wife had urged necessary?
Suppose he should be suddenly taken
away. And suppose his wife should
soon follow him. What would little
Jim do? His father pictured him hus-
tied off to some charitable institution
or, worse. trying at a tender age to
make his living on the streets.
The thought made Jim restless. He
got out of bed, splashed a little water
on his face, dressed himself and went
downstairs. In his pocket were his
weeks wages that he had received the
day before. He had been tempted to

Chinese Stacks Hay In Trees.

1t is necessary for the thrifty Chinese
farmer to protect his hay crops from
the floods which so frequently recur.
He does this by selecting tall trees
near his home. Upon these he fastens
his hay in 4 sort of stack or nest some
distance from the ground and in cir
cular form around the trunk. The
stacks are always matched on top, 50
that the water cannot possibly soak
through. All the surrounding ground
may be swirling with water, but a
farmers crop is perfectly safe. Some
of the Chinese villages set aside a GER
tain grove of trees and use it for a
common stacking ground.
