The simplest method of getting rid
Of fires is first to get rid of things that

In some cities juvenile police depart

Zulu Sonqsters.

The arrival of European in Zulu
village. the opening of railway, a
war, famine, a plague of locusts, a
pestilence may become topics for semi
public songs that are soon circulated
among the people. Songs are used at
the public functions of chiefs, such as
the feast Of the first fruits and at roy
al marriages. War and tribal songs
are possessed by every chief and tribe.
At marriages and other public ceremo-
MES it is the Zulu custom to render
not only the songs of the living chief.
but those made famous by his father
and grandfather.

which needs no other trimming. The

Small hats are enjoying great pop

considered especially smart. When
hats are not small they are. very large
and many of them are oddly shaped.

AS for the styles, certain dominant
features applying to most evening
gowns are distinctly noticeable. The
vogue of the train, for instance, is
very evident although all gowns do
not carry trains. Some long trains
made of the material of the dress,
give hte stateliness and dignity that
have always been associated with
trains from olden days. Not so, how
ever, the trains of tulle or net, airy
nothings, which are seen on many OF
this seasons gowns. These take on
very frivolous character. They are
just bits of soft drapery attached to
the back Of the dress and meant to be
thrown over the arms or neck in the
form of scarfs.
Lacy Underskirts in Evening Gowns.
A very popular fancy, worthy of
note, is the use of lacy underskirts
with evening frocks, the underskirt
forming part of the dress. The dress
is usually cut short in front, giving
place to rich petticoat and gradually
Bloping toward the back. In very elab-
crate gowns, petticoats of silver or
gold lace are worn with gowns of rich
velvets, silver or gold tissues. Satir S
and brocaded silks combined with
tulle or silk nets also fashion some
very sumptuous gowns.
The lOosely-ftted chemise dress
which has been so highly favored is
one of the styles frequently seen for
evening, and equally popular are the
dresses in Moyen Age style.
In the sketch is very graceful
evening frock that for quiet simplicity
and real elegance can not be surpass-
ed. The foundation is Of lace, and
the overdress, which hangs in panels
at, the front and back, is of chiffon
velvet or satin. A beaded girdle with
tasseled ends is wound twice around
the waist.
Dance frocks are still worn moder-
atelv short. Even the dresses with
trains are not long though skirts in
general, as every one knows, are
longer this season than last.
Mention must be made of the new
angel sleeves which are seen on so
msny gowns. These graceful flowing
sleeves are of transparent tulle or
net. Some of them reach almost to
the hem of the skirt while others are
. GOOD deal shorter, reaching only as
far as the waistline or Whereabouts.
In the smart walking dress shown
IN the sketch is seen an example OF
one of the very new sleeves for day
lime dresses. The fulness at the ell
how is obtained by means OF pleats'

Spain imports almost all the wood
pulp required for its paper industries
and exports to England much Of the
pine grown in Galicia, which is highly

paper manufacture as the less resinous
pine of Sweden and Norway. Expert
