The Babylonian and Sumerian ac-
counts place the food at something like
$4,000 BIC, and the lapse of time be-

filled by ten kings who reigned alto

Striped Velvet Revived.

Striped velvet is revived from so far
back in sartorial history that it may
be called novelty. 1t is strongly
reminiscent of the eighties: indeed. fall
models have many hints of this some
what unattractive, overloaded period
of dress The use of smoot h. faced
cloth with other materialS-taffeta
chiffon or velvet-is one of them. The
employment of the heavier fabrics for
gowns is another.
1t seems a little strange to use these
weighty materials for the ampler fash
ions. the very wide skirts, which the
arbiters decree for our wearing, with
no sign of modification on the horizon.
This fact also recalls the draped and
plated cloths and velvets OF the eight
les. But there is no suggestion of
their dowdiness in the sketch. which
shows a late version of this combina-
ton of fabrics.
This gown is smartness personified.
1t illustrates the new arrangement OF
the skirt fullness, fitted hips with
plaits or gathers set on below them, in
fashion which shows the lines of a
good figure to their full advantage.
The band of plain cloth on the bot
tom of the skirt is an example of the
band or binding which accentuates it's
fullness. The three-quarter sleeves
are another point worthy of notice
which belongs to the same period,
thirty odd years ago. But the big
armholes, the clever collar and the
general chic of the whole frock are
distinctly products of the twentieth
century.

MODERN WAY TO WEAR JEWELS.

Was jewelry first worn simply as adorn

locks in place. chance upon lovely

At any rate, whatev.e the origin of
was worn fifty or forty or thirty years
ago We still read of tiaras of dia-
monds among the wedding gifts of young
heiresses. and we still see stoma cheers
of rubies in the show cases Of great
jewelers.. But most smart women wear
jewels rather because of their fittingness
than because of their intrinsic value.
Jewels Kept Locked Up.

They may be both. of course. Pearls
are one of the most universally becoming
i.aweiS in existence, and perhaps dla-
monds are, too.
Setting Makes the Stone.
1t is largely in the setting that a
stone is made or marred. You can
prove this for yourself by having some

thing about jewelry do it for you. you

will be the envy of every one you know
Many young women have taken up
jewelry making, and it is an art that
is worth serious attention. To be sure,
it is an expensive pastime, for gold
and silver, and even seni-preciouS
stones, cost money. But. taking the
money for granted. jewelry making
will bring big returns in pleasure. If
you work out your designs carefully,

LAYS BLAME ON NOAH
FOR THE FALL OF MAN
DR.. Langdons Reading of Assyrian
Legend Exculpates Adam
and Eve.

PHILA DELPHIA, August 9.--It was
not Adam and Eve who brought about
the fall of man, but Noah, according to
translation of a tablet now in the
University of Pennsylvania Museum.
An announcement to this effect has been
made by a representative of the mu-
scum. According to the Sumerian the
ology found on the tablet, which is said
to have been written before the days
of Abraham and translated by DR.. Ste
ven Langdon, professor of AssNriology
in Oxford University, England, Noah
was ordered not to eat of the cassia
tree in. the Garden of Paradise, and
when he disobeyed the curse fell upon
him.

Curse of Ill Health Imposed.

The curse was that he should have i'll
health and an early death instead of
living to be fifty thousand years old,
like his ancestors.
According to the announcement made
DR.. Langdon bestowed much labor on
the subject of the fall of man, not only
in translating the tablet, but in COM
pairing it with every known tablet or
historical account of any kind as well
as with the account given in the book
of Genesis. DIR. Langdon, according to
the announcement, says that this tablet
is at least a thousand years older than
the Genesis account and, so far as is
known, is the oldest record of the sort
in existence The tablet was written
more than 1000 years ago, possibly
5000 years, and evidently records d
tradition which goes back to the early
history of man.

Phillips theory was that it was
better to be king of a village than the
second ruler of New York. No less
an authority than Julius Caesar had
said that before him, in slightly diff
ferent shape: but Caesar didn't have
to prove 1t, and Phillips did.
He spent his vacation in little vii
lage in the Catskills, where the girls
from the department stores went. 1t
was q quiet sort Of place, and the
Quieter sort of girls went there. Phil
lips's vacation unfortunately lasted
month.
With a succession Of young wom-
en- coming and going, Phillips, being q
gentleman in appearance and having
plenty Of money, was in his element.

younger. l should have enjoyed moth

BLACKBOARD by the collar and trounce
him soundly. OF course people set out
to enjoy themselves, but Phillips had
planned it all out before. Besides, the
man was outrageous with his dude
clothes and his generally offensive air.
But it was none of my business, and
watched the affairs with three or
four of the girls to whom Phillips
swore eternal devotion until 1t came
to Dorothy Raines. That set my back
up badly.

keeper. and in the summer she helped
in the hotel. In the winter, believe,
she taught in the local school. I had

for me.
OF course the girl couldn't resist the
open admiration of the city man. Dor
othy wasn't experienced enough to be
able to distinguish the gold from the
glitter, and Ned hadn't the airs and
graces of that man Phillips. Day by

speak to Phillips. l don't know what
he said, but l heard Phillips snort

lips retorted.
Then. I'm going to thrash you on

could hardly keep from clapping my
hands and crying 'bravo!"
Miss Dorothy had hardly recovered
from her surprise when the two were
at it, hammer and tongs.
l had not expected Phillips to put

Of Ned doing his best to stop Phil

Phillips knocked Ned down, and. when
he got up Phillips let him have il
again. Ned didn't get home more
than once, and in the end Ned was
stretched out upon the ground, hall
unconscious. 1t had been Phillips
from beginning to end, and he han
died his fists in very creditable way.
I suppose it was fear of the public
ity, but all the while the girl stood
there like a statue, and never moved
or spoke. Nobody saw me, and felt
pretty badly to see how my plot had
miscarried. Because my idea had
been to show the girl what q coward
Phillips was. and, instead, it was Ned
who got the thrashing.
