nightgowns, corset covers, combine
lions, chemises and drawers. Medal
lions Of fine embroidery of lace, set
into the material, are especially liked.
And everywhere ribbons are used. The
ribbonless undergarment is hardly to-
be found
Two new nightdresses are shown in
the picture, one of them with sleeves
made of rows of valenciennes inser-
ton stitched together. Sleeves of this
kind are immensely popular, and the
new corset covers are provided with
them. The body of the gown is sim
ply two widths of nainsook sewed to-
gether and shaped at the top to fit
shallow yoke and lace sleeves.
Nainsook is liked best Of all the ma
terials made for the new undermus-
Inns. Heavier pieces are made OF
lonsdale cambria, and very fine ones
of batiste. Fine cotton. crepes, some
of them figured, mercerized MULE,
crepe de chine and all-over embroid-
cries figure in the body of many gar
ments; the figured crepe and colored
lawns are used for nightgowns and all
over embroidery for corset covers and
brassieres.

A BLOUSE of white crepe de chine
IA draped with wide shadow lace in
q fine and novel pattern and having
half-sleeves of lace, has proved itself
to be one Of the most useful and de-
pendable articles for the wardrobe of
any woman. The same design in
light pink, hight blue, or maize, Is
equally pretty.
The underblouse of crepe is plain,
with front and back gathered along
the shoulder seam, and sleeveless.
The lace drapery is merely a short
jacket heightened at the side but not
reaching to the waist line.
A medici collar of the lace is gath
cred at the back and supported by
wires. 1t Is extended down the front
at each side OF the blouse to the bot
tom.
The second blouse is designed to
match a suit and is made of a dark
colored chiffon draped over an under
waist of lace and chiffon. 1t is made
with a short yoke at the back and
front and has long, fashionable nous
Quetaire sleeves.
A pretty lace chemisette with far
ing collar is set In at the front. and
lace cuffs finish the sleeves. As last

finishing touch a cravat Of narrow
black velvet ribbon extends about the
neck, terminating in tiny fiat bow,
with double loops at the front. Sim
liar bows adorn the sleeves above the
lace cuffs.
There are many small brilliant but
tons made for these dressy blouses.
Although they are not featured as
they are on coats and dresses they
add very effective and elegant touch
In the finish Of these very useful gar
ments.
Many of the latest models in
blouses are made with high military
collars. These are not practical I'M
less they are detachable, as collars
become quickly soiled. But chemisettes
with standing collars are made to be
worn under the blouse, and this
solves the difficulty for those who
like the new high collar.

WH1LE the winter evenings are long,
w and stormy days tempt one to
the coziness of indoors, undermuslins
for the coming spring and summer are
made. They beguile the mind with
thoughts of summer time and provide
work that is not at all trying. The
average needlewoman can make them
as pretty to look at and a little more
carefully finished than the ready-made
garments, although there is not great
saving in cost.
Ready-made undermuslins may be
bought in several grades, the price in
creasing according to the amount of
handwork and the quality of the max
Ing in the garments. Very good mate
rails are used in the moderately priced
as well as the higher priced pieces. 1t
Is wonderful, In fact, how such good
looking things can be bought for such
low prices. But the homemade gar
ment has two points of superiority ever
the ready-made. More attention is
given to details of finishing, and the
individual taste of the wearer, in laces
and embroidery, has chance to make
Itself apparent.

water, cover and let stand over night.
Next morning bring to the boiling
point and slowly simmer for three
hours. Add seven pounds of sugar
and cook until clear and like jelly.
South American MarmaIade.-Take
equal quantities of sour oranges and

from one-fourth of the oranges, cut
the fruit in halves and scoop out the
pulp, rejecting the seeds. Drain off
as much juice as possible, put it with
the sugar in saucepan and stir,

the pulp and rind and boil for 20
minutes or until the mixture jellies.
Amber MarmaIade.-This is one of
the cheapest and finest marmalades.
Take one grapefruit, one orange,
and one lemon, slice pulp, skin and all
very fine, rejecting the seeds and the
cores. Cover with five pints of wa
ter and let stand over night. In the
morning put on to cook until the pulp

the surprising reign Of Peter the
Great. Mr.. Grosvenor shows that when
Alexander II freed the fifty million
serfs of Russia he released from bond
age a population equal to that of the
twelve leading states of the United
States, and population more than
twelve times as great as was freed by
Lincoln's emancipation proclamation
not very many months afterward. Al
exander bought 350,000,O0O acres OF
land for them, permitting them to buy
it from the government on easy terms.
He thereby carried into effect the
most extensive piece of agrarian legis-
lation in history.
Each village conducts it's own inter-
nal affairs through town meetings
and not through elected or appointed
officials. Their lands are held on the
common ownership basis, and are ap-
portioned out for cultivation from
time to time.
with the bulk of its crops raised
by the peasantry, and for the most
part employing most primitive means
of farming, Russia is still able to pro-
duce a very large proportion of the
worlds food supply. In 1913 1t gave
to civilization nearly fourth OF its
wheat, full fourth of its oats, third
of its barley and more than half its
rye. That year its wheat crop was
200,000,000 bushels greater than our
own, its oat crop equaled ours, its bar
ley crop was three times as great as
ours, and its rye crop twenty-five times
as large as ours.
Russia has more horses than any
other nation on earth, with 35,000,0 900,
as compared with our 24,000,000: more
sheep than any other nation, with So
100000, as compared with our 50000.-
900; nearly as many cattle, with ST..
100000, as compared with our 3d.
100000. .-
"The latest authoritative informa-
ton on Russian educational condi-
tons, that for 1908, shows that only
I'll out Of every thousand people In
the empire could read and write, and
there we're two illiterate women for
every illiterate man. With our hun
dred million population, in 1912 we had
an enrolment of 19,218,000 school
children. With her population of 172,-
100000, Russias total enrolment was
100000, and 20 Of these were boys
for every ten who were girls.
"And yet the first woman civil engi-
neer In the world was a Russian, and
the educated woman of Russia enjoys
freedom equal to that of her kind
in any other country in the world.

population, Gilbert H. Grosvenor, di-
rector of the National Geographic So
ciety, has Just furnished the nearly
100000 members of that organization
with striking pen picture Of Young
RUSSIA Land of Unlimited Posi-
bilities'
After giving an impression of the
diversity of the origin of its peoples,
who come from the Orient and the
Occident, the frigid North and the
tropic South; of it's range of climate,
which gives the Palm Beach touch to
it's Crimea and the breath of the North
to its White sea region; of its vast
agricultural wealth; of the widely
varying aspirations of its peoples,
which differ as greatly as those of the
Poles and the Mongols, as those of the
Confucians and the Jews, as those Of
the Tatars and the Laps; and Of the
vastness Of the geographic limits Of
the empire, Mr.. Grosvenor says:
"But with all its geographic great
ness Russia is about as poor In natural
outlets to the world as the smallest Of
could be hidden in the vast reaches of
the Russian plain, almost as a needle
in a haystack, yet Amsterdam does
more international business than all
the ports of Russia together. Not one
free outlet to the open sea does Euro
pean Russia possess except on the ice
bound shores of the Arctic ocean. The
path from the Black sea to the Medi-
terranean leads through the Bospo-
rus and the Dardanelles, held by alien
hands,"
Mr. Grosvenor next shows how there
live within the boundaries of the Rus
sian empire enough people to dupli-
cate the population of Germany, Great
Britain and France combined, with
enough left over to duplicate half the
population Of Austria-Hungary. Fur
thermore, If Russia grows from 1912
to 1000 as she grew from 1872 to 1912,
her population then will be upward of
six hundred million. Al~
He then continues: From such a
record of size, of bigness in every
thing, we should expect Russia to be
an old nation, like Great Britain, with
perhaps a thousand years of unhin-
dered growth behind her. But, as a
matter of fact, Russia is a youth
among the nations compared with
England, a STRIPPING whose full stature
and breadth is still subject Of con
lecture and speculation.
Russia is young because she never
has had chance to grow until recent
years. Her geographical shape or con.
dition was such that for centuries her
people were constantly being enslaved
or despoiled by stronger heighbors"

steamer Eastland at its wharf in the
Chicago river had been recovered Sun
day after forty hours OF searching by
divers around the steel hulk, still lying
on its side, half submerged, where 1t
rolled Saturday, while laden with 2,40S
excursionists.
The total dead as a result of the
turning over of the ship still remains
at approximately 1000. according to
estimates made by Coroner Hoffman,
whose reports indicated that probably
200 bodies still were held in the mud
of the river by the superstructure OF
the overturned boat. While only LOOP
passengers Of the Eastland have regis.

seventy-two, had failed to report their
escape.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Santa F6, N. NV. G. Reid. as so
llcitor for the Santa F6 In New Mex
leo, has entered an appeal with the
State Tax Commission, urging the re-
duction Of assessment on the Santa
F6's coal lands in San Juan county.
The assessment at present stands at
Sl13,677.4s for the S1,333.16 acres of
coal lands in the county owned by the
road.
The assessment is in the name OF
the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Com.
pany. the holding title to the
San Juan county coal reserves of the
Santa Fe railroad. The appeal will
be taken up with the commission at
its next meeting.
The San Juan assessor placed a
value of SIS an acre on 1,64O acres of
the Santa F6 land. and of SO on the
remaining 29,69S.1 6 acres. In his ap-
peal Capt. Reid states that the land
is non-productive of coal, that it is
far removed from railroads and mark
cts, and that at present its only value
is as grazing land. He places a value
Of only 81 an acre on the bulk of the
land and declares that the value of the
1,64O acres assessed at SIS an acre is
not to exceed 10 per cent greater
than that of the rest of the land, and
should. therefore, be assessed at not
more than $1.1O an acre.
The valuations placed on the coal
lands this year are the same as as
sessed last year. An appeal to the
State Board of Equalization in 1914
was denied by that body.
