Bernard Hughes, who is seventy

Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The surgeon took him to one of the
operating tables and examined his leg.

"All right" replied Hughes, "dig it

Shortly afterward the surgeon re-

which formed the bunch"
How in the world did that get in

Two-piece or three-piece matched

made to match; or, if they do not

Is bound for life to high chinchilla

Small Breaks in Lace,

Where there are only a few threads
broken in Irish or Swiss lace they can
easily be repaired with a needle and
thread the same size as that used in
the manufacture of the lace. Place a
tiny knot at the end of the thread on
the needle and draw this through the
place where the broken thread joins
the body of the lace. Having done
this, draw succession of loop knots
over the floating thread very tightly
close to the base. Now follow with
the new thread the course that the old
thread has taken, and do the same
with the other loose end, knotting it Sc
curely close TO the body lace. Cut
away the loose ends and the break is
no longer perceptible.

Separate Waistcoats Now

London and Paris have taken an
other step toward the masculine in
fashions and makers are producing
separate waistcoats, to be removed at
will. They are made of the softest
materials, with striking pattern and
and often they are knitted, and are
cut roomy. Pockets at the sides with
watch fob hanging out of one of
them are customary.
Under these waistcoats, of which
plain shirtwaists are being worn, the
Jabot or fichu and the transparent
sleeves are visible. 1t Is customary
with women wearing such waistcoats
to remove the suit coat.

PIPE LINE ACROSS OCEAN
Irish Manufacturer Has Scheme Which
viii Save Shippers a Consider
able Amount of Money Yearly.

An Irish manufacturer has prepared
in detail plan for laying an 16-inch
submarine pipe line between the Brit
ish isles and America, which, accord
ing to estimates, would transmit oil To
England at small fraction of the pres
emf transportation cost. The scheme is
described in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. AS proposed, the pipe would
be made Of steel ribbon ON the helical-
tube principle, so as to be flexible. The
overlappings of the ribbon as it winds
round and round itself would be packed
with asbestos Irvine. The tube would
be able to withstand an internal press
ure of 1000 pounds and an external
pressure of 10000 pounds per square
inch. Around it would be woven a cot
ton casing coated with preservative.
To give the pipe longitudinal strength
a stranded steel cable would be put
inside. Twenty vessels would be en-
ployed to lay the pipe, each being as
signed a 130-mile section. The scheme
calls for an outlay of $50,000,0OO. 1t
is estimated that the transportation
cost per 1000 gallons per 1000 miles
would be about so cents. By tank
steamers it is about $50.
