FOR BALL-BEARING PARTS
Measuring Machine That Is Infinitely
More Sensitive Than HUI
man Being.

The average person has little con-
ception of the accuracy with which II
is necessary to work on some classes
of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for
instance, are produced in large guam
titles, yet in some cases the limit of
error is placed at one-tenth Of one,
thousandth of an inch or about one
twentieth the thickness of a human
hair. The human sense of touch is
coarse in comparison.
A multiple Indicator described in
Popular Science is a very satisfactory
device for measuring parts that must
be accurately gauged without loss OF
time. The machine consists of a sub
stantial base plate with an accurately
ground, hardened steel facing ana an
integral standard carrying a measur.
ing appliance. The dial indicator
reads in thousandths Of an inch, each
graduation representing a one-thou
sandth inch movement of the Indicator
stem.
The work to be measured Is placed
under the measuring point on the mul
tiplying lever AS this is very near
the fulcrum, a relatively slight mo-
ton will be changed to one of ten
times that magnitude at the dial in

standard, the pointer of the indicator
will move over ten graduations on the

circular cape without even armholes
is shown, made Of pastel or high-col-
Ored silk. Again, Sits framed in self
ruchings serve as armhOles. Self
fringed ruches, wide puffs or narrow
quillings of silk are favorite trimmings
for wraps of the type described. A
wide flare and the absence of 0ny sug-
gRstion of a waistline are features of
the summer evening wraps developed,
The afternoon wrap Of satin or silk
semiftted, and trimmed with bands of
ostrich or marabou, is popular. The
selection of satin at this time is wise,
us it is to be the leader in silks for
fall wear ,and textile houses are now
showing many brOcaded, checked and
striped satins in self color, with faille
gros de londres or taffeta bars or
stripes.

lS' REALLY PRETTY PRESENT
Few Gifts Will Be More Highly Appre-

Anything made of glass always has a
peculiar fascination, and such boxes
as these are really easy to make and
form most handsome presents.
The box described here looks beau
tiful on the dressing table and can be
used as a jewel box or can be put on
as the contents can always be seen,
yet are protected from dust and fear
of accident.
Ordinary clear glass will be re-
Quired, and this will doubtless be
found about the house in the shape of

Dainty Summer Dresses.

Flowered cotton vOlIe is one of the
prettiest summer fabrics, and there
are lovely colOred organdies and deli

showers of ribbon bows. The sleeves
are always wide. Some of these
dresses are worn over princess slip

OF an English nobleman. Viscount
Addisleigh was very estimable young
man, very shy, and obviously half in

dragooned into the marriage.
The days had gone so fast since the
engagement that Nina had had little
time to regret. II was not until Jack
Tremont's letter came that the flood
tide of memory came sweeping back
on her.
Five years ago they had been all
but engaged. He was a poor artist
then, and there had been n terrific
scene when her stepmother learned Of
her friendship for the young man, and
Of the little suppers at Renti's, where
they had had such gay parties Of
young BOhemians. 1t had been a
glimpse into the wonderful world for
the girl, which closed down abruptly
when she had not the strength to go
her own way.
She had not seen Jack since that
last parting, when she had promised
TO write to him. And all that was
five years ago.
Her fathers death had followed.
Her stepmother, worldly woman,
only wanted to get the girl off her

USE FOR OLD WAISTBAND
Discarded Article May Be Made o.
Service in This Way, and Will
Last Some Time.

A good use to which an old leather
band and buckle may he put is illus
trated by the accompanying sketch,
in the way of using a portion Of it in
suspending a purse or small bag from
the waist.
The bag shown in the sketch is a
simple and useful little article to make
for this purpose, but there are many
small bags and bag-purses already in
existence that could be used in the
way shown. The band will most prob
ably have to be shortened little, and
it can easily be cut down to any re-
quireG length. 1t is sewn onto the
top of the bag in the position shown
in diagram A. The pointed end is
then passed under the waist-belt and
fastened into the buckle, with the re-
suit to be seen in the larger sketch.

BOTH MASTER AND SERVANT
Canoe a True Friend Of Man, Only
Calling for Expert Handling in
Its Management

The canoe is as old as time, and has
never wandered very far from the
primitive idea, says a writer in All Out
doors Alien-hearted, il takes its place
in the busy water world of today, a
sign Of barbarian supremacy Of time.
Man has turned TO 1t in his extreme
need. and has found ii in one form or
another at the far North, on the equa-
tor and in the southern seas, and it
has given him. in return for proper
management, the stanch-hearted com
radeship asked Of it at any imperiled
moment. Rightly handled, the canoe
is perfectly safe. The light draft and
the buOyant resultant upward rise TO
the seas, and the perpetual demand Of
perfect pOiSe make it a thing for the
finer intelligence, and keep you alive
to the need of the moment. An old
and picturesque character who had ca
nocd on many waters, said that he
had Jared well on all voyages until
his canoe had scented a rapid" and
then no man could hold her. Breaking
loose from all spirit of control, she
was off after that falling water, even
taking a daisy field cross lots in her
tumultuous race. His fabulous story
holds a grain of truth.
Each canoe you handle has its own
temperament, and there must needs
be period Of adjustment between you,
First Of all, show that you have no
fear, for there is a heady wiIlfulness
oftentimes in that beautiful curve of
the bow, something of the animal ma
ture that needs quick understanding
and a short curb of power.

room. How easy it would be to es-
cape for an hour or two, to fly to Jack,
to spend one last short hour with him,
before the drab life ahead of her be-
gan!
She trembled; and then, with those
memories of the past, she could resist
no longer. She slipped on an old dress
and hat and coat, and softly made
her way down the stairs. She shud-
dered as she saw the roses that had
already been entwined along the ban
listers, heralds of joy that was never
to be hers.
Halt an hour later she entered
Renti's. And her heart leaped as she
saw the well-remembered figure, sOli-
tary at the far table among the lights,
in the midst Of the gay crowd. And
the years that were past seemed like
a dream to her.

After the meal he lit a. cigarette and
they sat closer together, needless Of

'KERCHIEF TO BE CONSIDERED
Has a Place All Its Own Among the
Accessories Of Dress in FASH
ions Of Today.

That little square of camhric is al
most losing it's identity with its i'm
pOrtance as a dress accessory. Now
instead of being a very handy object
when a cold in the head is insistent
or when summer heat brings the per-
spiration to the fevered brow, the
handkerchief is used to express the
latest fad or to give u touch Of color
to. somber frOck.
You may have striped sports hand
kerchiefs in cOlOrs to match the
striped skirt or blouse. They should
peep from the pocket of the plain
part of the sports costume. Often they
are of silk and encircle the sports hat
or swathe the neck of the sports
blouse.
Handkerchiefs are no longer square,
either. They are round, or show
rounded corners cut to follow the out
line of the embroidered motif. Net
handkerchiefs, of no earthly use, but
of much dainty beauty, come in all
shapes and sizes. They are usually
finished with net footing.
Yes, and you may have a tasseed
handkerchief. It matches your tas-
seled veil, too, by the way.

Mr.. Sunday was on the Trenton

drinks became quite unbeurable. The
