Here is pictured a blouse which
contrives to be unusual merely by
means of it's odd construction. Its
designer has taken his cue from those
who have made coats this season so
successfully by departing from all
precedent in cutting them. In this
blouse Of lace, with raised flowers in
velvet, the sleeves and back are in
one piece. 1t is lined with white chif-
fon, and draped, collared, and cuffed
with black satin.
Very much the same effect would
result if the blouse were cut with a
regulation raglan sleeve, and the
model suggests the effectiveness of
printed chiffons made up in this way.
The deep cuffs and drapery of satin
will prove useful in harmonizing he
blouse with a particular skirt, or they
may be of black, whatever the colors
in the chiffon.
The blouse as pictured is worn with
a skirt of black taffeta. 1t is one of
many in which two materials are COM
bined to make an overblouse to be
worn over crepe or chiffon under
blouse when the fabrics are transpar-
ent. A combination of plain crepe

EGG OF PET PARROT.
After Much Treatment Opal Finally
Lays One.

Riverside, Cal.-The hurried admin
istration of red pepper pills under the
orders of a veterinarian and the hur-
ried application of hot flannel cloths
and other family remedies, all designed
to save the life of Opal, the pet white
parrot at the Mission inn, occasioned
great excitement among the patrons of
that hostelry.
Frank A. Miller, master of the inn,
took personal care of the bird, which
was found to be writhing in seeming
paroxisms of pain and making the air
vocal with squawkings. After submit
ting to the sympathetic treatment of
its friends for time the bird calmly
laid an egg, Opals first achievement
along this line, although she is twenty

WOULDN'T SPOIL HIS FINGERS
Artistic Hands, Out of a Job, Refuses
to Shovel Coal.

Montclair, n. J.-If a man has piano,
fingers and is offered a job on a coal
wagon should he accept the Job to
support his wife and six children, or
should a philanthropic society place
him i'll some position where his digital
refinement would not be affected by
manual labor?
This is one of the questions pro-
pounded in the annual report of Mrs
Nettie e. Patterson, superintendent of
the Altruist society. Mrs. Patterson
mentions the case in referring to the
difficulties that confront the society.
She said that a man when offered a
place on the coal wagon refused, say
Ing he had been told he had "piano
fingers" and did not wish to spoil
them.

georgette and plaid taffeta, or one Of
satin and crepe, is more to be desired
than blouse of one material, since
combinations of two or more fabrics
are characteristic of the present sea-
son.
A pretty import was made with a
yoke having round neck of taffeta.
This yoke was trimmed into points
over the sleeves, and in the middle Of
the front and back, midway between
the points in the front, it was extend
ed into two tabs. The remainder of the
blouse was of georgette crepe laid in
fine tucks where it was set onto the
yoke. The tabs of taffeta were slipped
through slashes cut in the crepe just
over the bust. Their ends were point
ed and finished with embroidery.
Very deep cuffs of taffeta finished
the sleeves. A narrow galloon out
lined the round neck and the flaring
cuffs. A collar, high at the back. and
cuffs of organdie completed this ex-
ample of French elaboration. 1t but
toned down the front.
