PORTRAIT STATUE OF MOST ANCIENT SCRIBE
Egypt through the explorations of the
University museum, Philadelphia. 1t
is a statue about two feet high Of one
Amenemhat, who lived certainly 1000
years and probably 5,40O years ago
All that we know is that he belonged
to the twelfth Egyptian dynasty. and
scholars are not yet agreed as to when
that occurred, but it was probably
somewhere between 3.4OO B. c. and
1000 B. c.. the latest authorities in.
clining strongly to the earlier date.
This Amenemhat had portrait
statue made of himself in life and In
scribed for the benefit Of posterity. Lit
tie did he suppose that milleniums aft
er his death the statue would repose
on the banks Of the Delaware in a
hemisphere Of which he had never
beard.

THE OLDEST JOURNALIST.
Lately Discovered Statue of Most An
cient Scribe.

Thousands of years before the art of
printing news was sent broadcast the
world over by means Of letters, and
there developed Il craft of letter writ,
ers whose business it was to prepare
letters for those who had not the time
or the ability to write. SO conservative
is the east that numbers of these letter
writer's are to be found to this day in
Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and Persia.
The oldest of these writer's, who
may be called the newspaper men of
their time, has been discovered in

LACING AS TRIMMING
RATHER OLD FASHION THAT is
ONCE MORE IN VOGUE.
Illustration Shows How Effective It
May Be Made-White Batiste the
Best Material for the
Collar and Vest.

Lacing as trimming is revived in
the way Of novelty every once in a
while. and, judging from it's present
vogue, this is one time. There is some
thing quantity attractive about the fad,
but in many cases it is overdone. Just
touch is all that is needed, and it
usually occurs at the neck and sleeve
ends of blouse, and probably, the
girdle.
Here in the model sketched we find
the sleeve ends laced and the back of
the bodice. That last sounds incon-
venient, doesn't it? But the effect is
really too pretty to forego, and, be-
sides, the world is full of kindly dis
posed souls, who can on most occa-
sions be induced to help one in and
out of difficult things and thus save
us contortions.
In geranium-coral faille or any of
the lovely rose tones this chic little
frock will commend itself to those of
you who love pretty clothes. The lac
ings are merely narrow bias folds of
the silk knotted at the ends and run
through strongly buttonholed eyelets.
AS the long sleeves are not set into
the armholes Of the bodice, it will be
necessary to use white china silk or
something equally thin for founda-
ton blouse into the armholes of which
the sleeves may be sewed White ba-
tiste Is used for the collar and the
vest, and by supplying snappers
around Its inside edge it can be fast
ened to the foundation blouse and be
removed for laundering.
The bodice shows rather deep V
in front, but in back is rounded in a
shallow curve about the neck. The
length is extended bit below the
waist line and in front cut to give
the effect of little vest corners, then
draped up in place by means of YER
teal line of shirring through the cen
ter. The wide armsides are bordered
with seton braid of fine tucks. AS
the lacing down the back of the waist
must not be drawn tightly together,
