1rturc from the styles in skirts that
rcvail now. 1t would be difficult to
improve upon the simple, well adjust

The newest arrival is an inspiration
of the chimise dress. 1t is made of

Make Bread From Moss.

The Indians along the Columbia
river make kind of bread from a
moss that grows on the spruce fir
tree. This moss is prepared by plac-
Ing in heaps, sprinkling it with wa

collar is of the same satin. Short
puffed sleeves are gathered with five
rows of shirring, finished with a nar-
row ruffle aboVt the arm. The smart
cap is made Of the satin and the up
standing satin ends at the front are
probably wired. White cloth sleeves,
faced with black, and black silk stock
ings, striped with white, bring this suit
to a charming end.
Although so many of the seasons
models are made of silk, the virtues
of mohair for water sports should not
be lost sight of.

Paul Pedrini Rescued From Vessel
Sent to- Bottom by German
Submarine.

In view Of the present disturb
ances in Europe and the recent
sinking Of ocean liners by German
submarines, the experiences of Paul
Pedrini, an English actor now ap-
pearing at the Orpheum, are of
more than ordinary interest.
Mr.. Pedrini was on board a Chi

Calcutta 10 Colombo last August,
when stopped by the German raid
er Emden. The boat ne was on
board was flying the British cOlOrs
and the crew and passengers were
thoroughly scared when the Ger
man war craft approached.
~All on board were ordered to the
boats and not allowed TO take even
the smallest hand luggage. Pedrini
secured his trained monkey, Toby,
which is appearing with him here
in his act, but lost everything else.
Then, with two we'll directed shots,
the rading vessel was sent to join
the other war victims of the ruth
less sea campaign.
Mr.. Pedrini states that they were
not more than 40 miles from land
and that another steamer soon
picked them up and sent a messase
by wireless of what had occurred.
There was crowd on the wharf to
meet the survivors at the port where
they landed. a benefit performance
was given 10 enable the stranded
passengers to continue their jour
neys.
Later he saw the Emden again,
when he was on board a Spanish
vessel At this time she was receiv-
ing coal from a Greek collier and
did not disturb the ship he was on.
Toby, the foot juggling monkey.
appearing with Pedrini, is years
old; has wandered about the world
with his master for over six years.
