Little overbodies of taffeta or other
light silk are worn with them. They
are cut without sleeves, having bands
over the shoulders, and just to reach
the top Of the frills on the underbody.
Their edges are pinked or finished
with hemstitching. They may be
made of wide ribbon, and several over
bodies in various colors made to be
worn with one frock. Slips OF silk
or null to match them will bring the
frock into harmony with any color
scheme, but they are prettiest when
worn over white with color confined
to the overbodice and hair ribbons.
Very handsome and snowy party
dresses for the small girl are made
by joining fine val or other lingerie
lace insertion to embroidered organdie
insertion in alternating rows, by
means of hemstitching. Although the
lace, embroidery and hemstitching
are all machine made the effect of
these in combination is fine. The in
sertions must be basted together at
home and the hemstitching done by
someone who has the proper machine
for 1t.
There is fad for having a hat or
little bonnet made to match the lin
gerie party frock, and pretty exam
pie is shown in the picture given here.

SPECIAL MILK GAINS FAVOR
Trade Name That Should Be Applied
Only to Clean, Safe Product Of
Highest Standard.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
In many cities there Is a tendency
to grade milk and sell it to the con-
sumner upon its merits. Such system
is most desirable, as it enables dairy
men who handle a high-grade product
to obtain recognition for their care. 1t
also enables the consumers to choose
their supply on the absolute merits Of
the various grades. This is a sound
commercial feature and one that is al
ready recognized in nearly all other in
dustries.
AT the present time there are on the
market numerous brands of special
milks. The average consumer has only
a hazy idea as to what is meant by
special milk, but usually considers it
to be in some way superior to the
ordinary milk sold. Some milk deal
ers have considered that milk q little
richer in fat should constitute special
milk, while others have adhered to the

Two views of a very fashionable
couture are given in the picture shown
above. This is one of several varia-
tions of the same style in which the
hair is drawn back from the fore
head and brought forward over the
ears. Those who are young eonugh,
or look young enough, and have the
face for it, may attempt it as it is
pictured
The style is not generally becom-
ing but nevertheless has many de-
voices. 1t makes up in neatness and
finish" what IL lacks in softness, and
1t imparts the charm that lies in look
ing wellgroomed to those who wear it.
To dress it, the hair may be waved
or marcelled and parted at point
on the forehead above each temple.
The hair at the top Of the forehead Is
then combed straight back and even
when waved lies fiat to the head with
no hint of fluffiness about 1t. At the
sides IL is brought forward and curved
over the ears and the ends concealed
under coils across the back of the
head. One or two small ringlets are
allowed over the temple, and recent
version of this style has three short
curls at the nape of the neck.
The same arrangement OF the front
hair appears with the back hair
brought to the top of the head and
coiled into a long puff extending to
the middle of the crown at the back.
In another variation of the style all

and brought to the top Of the crown.
where it forms loop of hair tied to

principle that such a grade should be
cleaner and safer than the ordinary
grades.
A special nsilk may or may net be
richer in fat than ordinary grades, but
it certainly should be produced and
handled in such manner as TO be
cleaner and safer than the ordinary
grades handled by the individual deal
er or by his competitors. In this way
public confidence can be maintained
and an increased price warranted.
Dairymen are learning that it Is good
business TO, stand squarely behind
their goods to see that all claims are
fully substantiated.
If special milk is to be sold as such
it's standard should be high and perma-
nent, so as ia result in increased con-
fidence and increased demand from
consumers. There is hardly any bet
ter way to- create demand than to
produce and maintain a high grade,
and this grade is to be termed "spe-
cial," ID should by all means he as safe
as possible, from health point Of
view, and not mere trade name.
Business depends upon the, demand.
demand depends on quality, and quail
ity on the inclination of the man be-
hind and the standard he wishes to set
for his product. IL special milk is to
be included, it must be his best effort
along his. chosen line of endeavor,
and to- this end every milk dealer
should be able and willing to set and
maintain high standard. At present
in most cities only very small GUAM
tity of special milk is handled, al
though 1t seems that the trade de-
mands should warrant the sale of a
great deal more.

The rheater. a War Ionic.

Can you imagine the state the
nerves of the country would be in but
for the necessary mind recreation pro-
vided by the theaters?" the London
Chronicle asks in calling attention to
the fact that the war has been pro-
longed for more than eighteen months
and that the end is, not yet in sight.

,It was, perhaps. only covered at the
end over the entrance to the tomb
OF Osiris" When the work reached
the lower layers of the Enclosure wall,
N very extraordinary discovery was
made In this wall, all around
the structure, are cells about six
feet high and wide, all exactly
alike, without any ornament or
decoration. They had doors, probably
made OF wood, with single leaf; one
can see the holes where they turned.
such cells are not seen in any other
Egyptian construction.
What was still more surprising is
that they do not open on to floor,
but ON to g narrow ledge which ran
ON both sides of the nave. There was

though the structure is in the desert.
Thus the two aisles and the two ends
of the middle nave form continuous
| rectangular pool, the sides OF which
are very fine masonry of large blocks.
How much deeper the wall goes than
the present level of the water, 1t is
difficult to say.
The middle nave is q block of ma
sorry also made of enormous stones,
which goes down as deep as the wa
ter, and on which rest the pillars of
the colonnades. The floor is at the
the ledge. This platform is an is
land; it could be reached only with
small boat or by q wooden bridge;
there is water on the four sides. Even
in front of the doorway there is only
the ledge; there is no pathway Of
any kind leading to it. On both sides
east and west-there are two stair
cases leading from the platform to the
water.
Tomb of Osiris.
The tomb of Osiris is of later date
than the pool with its cells. 1t dates
from the time of Seti I, the grand
father of Menephtah, who probably
made it when he built his temple. AS
for the pool. it is probably one of the
most ancient constructions which have
been preserved in Egypt. 1t is ex-
actly in the style of the so-called tenn
pie of the Sphinx, which is a work Of
the Fourteenth dynasty, and one Of
the characteristic features of which
is the total absence Of any inscription
or ornament. But the pool is even
more colossal. In the temple Of the
Sphinx the pillars are four feet
square; here they are eight and one
half. 1t is impossible, in spite of the
havoc made, especially in the southern
aisle. not to be struck by the majes-
tic simplicity Of the structure, chiefly
in the corner where the ceiling has re-
NAMED. Besides, this construction Of
character quite unknown at present
raises many questions which further
excavations will, perhaps, solve. Was
the pool in connection with the wor-
ship of Osiris? Did the sacred boat
of the god float on the water? Since
the boats of the gods are always
towed with ropes, the ledge on both
sides would be very appropriate path
for the priests who did it. What
were the cells made for? Were they
reproductions of those which the
Book of the Dead describes as being
in the celestial house of Osiris? Was
the water supposed to have a cura-
tive effect; was 1t an Egyptian pool
of Bethesda?
AS for the water itself, 1t must have
been stored for some purpose. The
enormous ceilings must have been
made in order to prevent evaporation.
Is it to be imagined that the old Egyp-
tians made such an enormous construc-

Egypt exploration fund led to
the discovery of a building
which is unique in It's kind, and which
rs probably one of the most ancient
constructions preserved in Egypt. 1t
consists of great pool with porches,
called Strabo's well, and the so-called
tomb OF Osiris 1t is situated behind

by Seti /, which has been the chief
attraction OF Abydos for travellers. 1t
was entirely subterranean, at depth
of more than thirty feet below the
temple. and nothing revealed it's ex-
istence-
The building, as described by
Edouard Naville, director of the ex-
cayafion, consists of a rectangle, the
inside of which is about a hundred
feet long and sixty wide. The two
long sides are north and south. The
Enclosure wall is twenty feet thick. 1t
consists of two castings; the outer one
Is limestone rather roughly worked;
the inner one is in beautiful masonry
OF red quartzite sandstone. The joints
are very fine; there is only very
thin stratum OF mortar, which is hard
Iy perceptible. Here and there the
thick knob has been left which was
used for moving the stones. The
blocks are very large-a length of
fifteen feet is by no means rare; and
the whole structure has decidedly the
character OF the primitive construc-
tfons which in Greece are called CYCLIC
pean. and an Egyptian example of
which is at Ghizeh, the so-called tenn
pie OF the Sphinx.
This colossal character is still more
striking in the inner part. 1t is d.
wided into three naves or aisles of
unequal size-the middle one being
wider. These naves are separated by
two colonnades of square monolithic
pillars in granite about fifteen feet
high and eight and one-half feet
square. There are five Of them in each

There is no doubt that it is what is
