ing of this gown, Is essential, as in all
simple designs. In this respect the
home dressmaker must be faithful to
the model If she undertakes to copy 1t ;
but light wool or heavy cotton fab
ric may be used instead of silk, with
good success. Small shepherd check,
In black and white, decorated with
black sOutache braid will convert the
model into perfect one-piece street
dress.
AS pictured the dress Is made Of a
heavy silk crepe and fastens at the
front with white buttons set close to-
gether, and loops of silk cord. Down
each side of the bodice at the back
and front a border design in soutache
braid provides a decoration in perfect
harmony with the dress. The design
Is widened at the shoulders to extend
to the arm's-eye. The sleeves are long
and without cuffs, but the braided pat
tern appears at the wrist and three
buttons, matching those that fasten the
dress, are set close together here. A
narrow, flat sash of the material is
finished at the end with bit of hand
some fringe. 1t is tackled to the dress
and looped over at the front. The
neck is managed with the same re-
serve that characterizes the entire de-
sign, having q narrow V-Shaped
opening, small revers, and cape collar
at the back.

WALL STREET RUMoR SPEEDY
Il 10 q Peculiar Institution, Coming
From Nowhere and Dying unwept
and Unattended.

It is peculiar institution, Is Wall
street rumOr, and wonderfully cOnsti-
tuted. 1t has size. width, breadth.
Probably Its most notable characteris-
tic is its tremendous speed and the
rapidity and surefOOtedness with which
1t hops from crag to crag and from
precipice to precipice. Where its home
nest is located no one knows, although
rumor factories are popularity reported
to be situated on every street In the
financial district.
1t Is bird of various manifesta-
pOrtant in bearing. strolling about with
stately stride. Sometimes 1t crawls,
sometimes 1t hops and at times 1t
climbs.
Generally rumor is first noticed
entering the financial district from the
uptown side of the street. 1t Is very
infrequent, indeed, that rumors swim
In from the downtown side, although
such cases are on the books. AS 1t
advances up street after street rumor
grows in size, and its swelling in
creases perceptibly as 1t darts into one
street and out of another from one
office to another. into the curb mar
ket and out again. over to the Stock
exchange and out again, using the
telephone lines. telegraph lines, mes
senger boys and word of mouth to
ear In getting about.
In the meanwhile it has gathered
size, strength and generally good
sized group of eager followers. Some
people take up mighty easily with
rumors and it's poor one that cam
not draw a few satellites.
Then something generally happens
which puts rumOr to the bad. Some
times 1t encounters government Of
fetal or an officer of n company whose
cloak 1t has borrowed for the occasion
or newspaper reporter or some other
person authorized to poke into Its
vitals and see what makes the thing
run.
Then rumOr commences to Shrivel.
1t grows smaller and smaller and
smaller. Like Eugene Fields "Squig' EN-
Squees" 1t fairly "swallers itself"
Right then and there 1t has no friends.
They quit 1t cold on the first signs Of
illness. Its death Is always unattend-
ed and no one sheds tear over its de-
parture.

One of the latter is pictured with q
wider brim than the milan model and q
round crown. 1t Is bordered, on the
under brim, with narrow ribbon gath
cred at the inner edge and ribbon ID
introduced into the crown in the same
way. A cluster of small roses is posed
at the front. This Is a favorite trim
ming for both black and white hair
braid hats.
The third hat Is m unusual model of
purple georgette crepe and slipper
straw in the same color. The upper
and under brim are of crepe with a
scalloped border of the straw. The
top crown and part Of the side crown
are covered with crepe, also with a
wide band Of straw covering that pOr
tion of the crown which appears below
the wreath of violets and small roses
encircing it. The flowers are in their
natural colors and they are lacquered
by process which stiffens and bright
ems them so that they will hold their
own in the summer sun.

Makinu Snake Antidote.

India's annual loss of over 10000
lives from snake bite has forced the
production of an antidote serum. The
Parel laboratory. Bombay, keeps a
supply of cobras from which venom
is extracted every ten days. The
snakes are forcibly fed with egg flip
through a tube.
The venom Is dried over lime and
then dissolved in q salt solution. In
creasing doses are injected in a horse
until at the end of two years the ami
NAL can stand a dose 200 times the
original one and is quite immune
from the cobra poison.
The serum from the blood Of this
particular horse is an antidote and is
absolutely effective If injected in time.
Many lives have been saved by its use.
However, each bite requires an anti
dote made from the venom of the same
sort of snake that inflicted the bite.

Enulish Oil Wells,

says William Forbes-Leslie of the In
stitute of Petroleum TechnolOgists.
"As the Norfolk deposits Of oilshale
containing free oil are of great extent.
involving hundreds or thousands Of
millions of tons, each ton of which may
contain an average of thirty to forty
gallons of oil, and IS per cent of it in
the form of free oil, some idea can be
gained of the enormous bulk of petro-
leum which has already been absorbed
into these beds"
Mr.. Forbes-Leslie describes the Nor
folk oil source as practically mex
haustible." No country, he said, had
been SO generally bored for oil as
Britain, and yet no country had been
less tested at depth.

Evolution Of Paper.

The earliest substitute for our mod
ern paper was clay tablets; the next
stage came with the use by the Egypt
ians Of the layers forming the stem Of
the papyrus leaves. Later skins Of
animals were used. Linen and cotton
rags were not used for the manufac-
ture Of paper until the eighth century.
In the last of the thirteenth century
paper was manufactured in Italy from
rags and fax. The first machine for
manufacturing paper in bulk was set
up early in the nineteenth century in
England. During the latter part of the
century raw material other than woven
stuffs began to be used. OF late years
wood pulp has been used in large
amounts for paper making.

Remove from the fire and when cold
carefully remove the center and fill
the space with cooked peas drained
and seasoned. Pour French dressing

Lemon Jelly and Cabbage Salad
Take a package of lemon jelly, add
two cupfuls of chopped or shredded
cabbage. a little shredded onion, two
green peppers and one red one, mix
well and mold. Serve with mayonnaise
on lettuce.
Apple SaIad.-Arrange diced pine
apple on lettuce leaves and in the CEN
ter put few shrimps, around this put
circle of chopped apple and celery
and garnish with mayonnaise made
pink with paprika.
Tomato and Cucumber SaIad.-While
these vegetables are still expensive,
two or three tomatoes with one cucum-
ber will serve several people If care
fully cut. A firm, ripe tomato,
If small, may be cut in halves,
thus serving two, or, If large,
cut in slices for three or four.
Arrange these pieces of tomato on head
lettuce and heap on each slice n spoon
full of finely diced cucumber mixed
with finely minced southern onion,
then serve with either French or may
Onnaise dressing.
A few dates and ralsins added to
Waldorf salad makes change and Is
liked. Take twice as much apples as
celery and few nuts with handful
of dates and raisins, mix well and
serve with French dressing on lettuce
or in nests Of water cress which Is
especially good at this season.
Poinsettia Salad.-Small, bright, red
tomatoes may be cut in sections like
a flower, either six or eight petals, and
the center filled with yellow dress
ing, served on lettuce or water cress,
1t makes most attractive salad.
