Women who are considering the prob
lem of altering last seasons gowns will
find this design real boon, while at the
same time, it is charming for new ma
terials. 1t is really very simple and easy
to make and it gives the newest and
smartest features. Blouse and skirt are
cut in one and since the joinings are made
on indicated lines, it is very easy matter
to use two materials. A great many gowns
of last season will provide sufficient ma
terial for the upper part of the skirt, the
lower part of the blouse and the sleeves
and when combinations are in vogue, it
is an easy matter to find something
suitable for the rest of the gown. 1t is
necessary only to cut above the indicated
lines for the one material and below for
the other and then join on these lines, for
after that is done, the making proceeds
exactly as if one material were used
throughout. For college and for general
wear, the gown would be charming made
of gabardine throughout or of shepherds
check or, for more dressy occasions, of
taffeta.
For the medium size will be needed az
yds. of serge "A in. wide with 3M yds. Of
satin SO in. wide to make as illustrated;
ory9M yds. II in. wide, IN yds. 36, 5H
yds. ~, to make of one material.
The pattern No. 8776 is cut in sizes
from "a to az inches bust measure.

with men who are everything that a

that these men are moral, upright

TRAINING FOR REAL WARFARE
National Guard Preparing for Conflict as 1t Would Be on the Actual
 Battlefield.

A photograph in the New York Times shows members of the Seventy first regiment of the New York Ma tional guard 'perfecting themselves in the operation of firing field mines" The men are in their armory. Yet they are digging down into the earth and heaping up earthen breastworks. This" says the Times, lis in accord ance with the recent policy by which the floors of the National guard ar mories were all removed in order that the militia might benefit by practice drills held on the ground under condi- tions more nearly approaching those of actual camp life. In plain words, the toy-soldier stuff is disappearing, with some reflection of the rapidity of its disappearance on the fields of the great war. Those polished wooden floors were part of the toy-soldier tradition. They were there not only for drill use, but also for dance use. Many regiments had to rent their ar mories for dances or meetings in order to get revenue enough to live. With the earth floor, all this must go.''
 War is not fought on hardwood floors. It is fought iA the dirt. It is more important that men be trained under real conditions than that their armories have all the social advan- tages.-Chicago Post.

TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLING
Tibetans Will Not Be Denied the Joys That Accrue From the Sense
 of Bargaining.

"Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls out one of the pedd1ers by the way side in Tibet cheerfully as he sees you returning from glimpse of the snows at sunrise. You bid him come to you, and from one of the innumer- able pockets concealed in his volu- minous robe he will produce perfect little jade cup, or a Tibetan coffee pot, or gold copper and precious stones, or perhaps a huge lump of rough turquoise hewn to look like a couch with a tiny gold Buddha reclin- ing on it.
 Then comes the bargaining in which he and all his friends take part against your single self.
 It can all be done by signs and smiles and patience and in the long run you will get some things we'll worth having at very reasonable price.
 But you must have no false pride about bargaining. It is an elementary part of these peoples nature, and the joy of selling will leave them forever when the day of haggling is done.

Southern Town With Vision.

A combination of foresight with the municipal ownership principle has given the United States one taxless town. This phenomenal community is Harrisville, W. Va, which 20 years ago bought natural gas we'll and piped the town. Later the municipal gas plant was let to a private con- cern, which pays a rental sufficient to meet all the local expenses for government and public improvements.
 Now Harrisville, not content with the success of it's experiment in one phase of municipal ownership, is about opening a railroad of its own, which it has built to another town six miles away. It remains to be seen how soon Harrisville will get out of the taxless class. Railroading is a more precarious business than selling natural gas.-Newark Star.

Rocky Roads of China.

We all know the description of the snakes in Ireland: There are none" and much the same might be said about the roads in China. There are so-called roads, certainly, upon which the people move about, but l have seldom met one that was any better than the surrounding country, and very, very often on this journey l met roads where it was ease and lux ury to move off them on to the neigh boring plowed field. The recipe for a road there in the North seems to be: Take piece of the country that is really too bad to blow or to use for any agricultural purposes whatever, that a mountain torrent, ih fact, has given up as too much for the water, upset a stone wall over it, a stone wall with good large stones in it, take care they never for a moment lie evenly and you have your road.-Wids World Magazine.

CURIOUS REASON FOR MURDER
Surely Slayer Never Gave More Whimsical Excuse" Than That
 Offered by Enelishman.

The Brides Bath" murder trial in London with one Smith charged with staying for the sake of insurance and legacies three of his six wives-who were found drowned in the bathtubs of lodging houses-recalls the singular case of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, journalist, art critic, forger, poisoner, a member of the circle to which Lamb, Hazlitt, Hood and others belonged, Philip Hale observes in the Boston Herald. Among those whom he poi soned for insurance money was young Helen Abercrombie. When he was asked how he had the heart to kill such a fair and innocent creature, he answered, after mature reflection: Upon my soul, I don't know, unless 1t was because she had such thick an- kles.'
 It is said that Wainewright was the original of Bulwer Lytton's Varney, and the husband of that authors Lu- cretia Clavering; that Dickens Hunt ed Down" was suggested by Waine- wright's career. Oscar Wilde wrote a whimsical if not wholly sympathetic essay about Wainewright, and there is an account of him by w. Carew Haz- lit prefixed to collection of the poi soner's essays and criticisms published 35 years ago. Wainewright had a son who entered the British navy Anx- ious to escape the dishonor attached to his name, he came to America and, it is said, married woman of means. If he is living he would now be about eighty years old. Has his history in this country ever been traced?

LAND MARINES AT
 { PORT AU PRINCE
WASHINGTON GIVES FRANCE PERMISSION TO GUARD LEGA.
 TON IN THAT CITY.
FORCE WILL BE INCREASED
1t Is Estimated By Admiral caperton There Are About 12,0oo Men
 Capable of Bearing Arms.

Washington.-France has been given permission by the United States to land marines at Port Au Prince, Haiti, for the protection of the French lega- ton in that city, where Admiral Ca gperton is in control.
 The Navy Department gave out the following statement:
 Last night Secretary of the Navy Daniels received a dispatch from Ad- miral Caperton stating that the French minister at Port Au Prince had re. quested permission to land a small de- Descartes to guard the French lega- tion, as he considered it fitting that the legation should be guarded by French troops
 Secretary Daniels, after confer ence with Secretary of State Lansing, cabled Admiral Caperton to afford all facilities to the French minister for the landing of crews"
 This attitude of France shows that she at least regards the United States
 
 fairs in Haiti. In the opinion of off cials, it shows also that, after the landing of marines by Admiral Caper- ton, the United States must be re- garded by foreign nations as fully re- sponsible for eventualities. The United States will thus take care of not only English and French, but German and Austrian and other interests.
 It was stated that the danger in the city is regarded as increasing. It is expected by navy officials that as Admiral Caperton has cabled that more marines might be needed" the department will at moments notice send thousand marines as re-enforce- ments from Philadelphia, either by the Hancock or by the North Dakota, or by both.
 Navy officers say that the situation may be made critical for the 400 ma rines in Port au Prince at any moment. They estimate the population at about 6G,000. There are, therefore, about 12,000 men capable of bearing arms m the city and suburbs Admiral Caper- ton, officials say, foresaw the danger of attack from the citizen snipers and persuaded the local authorities that it was in the interest of all concerned that firearms should be taken away from every citizen.
 It is said that about 5000 guns have -alreadX- -bbsen stacked up ftf tie tf nation al palace, which is being guarded by Admiral Caperton with strong guard.
