SOME OF THE NEW BLOUsEs
Late Designs Are CIosed-Many So
ContriVed That Collar at Back
Need Not Be Disturbed.

The new blouses are closed in a
number of fashions and many of them
are ingeniously contrived so that the
deep collar at the back need not be
disturbed. One model is made with a
deep enough V-shaped opening at the
front so that it slips ver the head-if
the head Is not too large. This blouse,
therefore, has no visible means Of
closing-or opening. And it is very
pretty and the full front falls in uu-
broken folds and the deep collar of the
back is uninterrupted. And if one
puts this blouse on carefully, pulling
it smoothly over the hair, it is all very
well. However, If one is in haste and
TRUSTS the head quickly into tall
very wrong. A newer method of get
ting around the difficulty of the deep
collar in the back or the collar across
the back, which marks so many Of the
new bloSes, and the desire for the
unbroken front, is to slit up the back
from the waistline for a few inches

more likely by his wife, but these are
rare. The great majority show a pa
thetic lack of knowledge of the funda-
mentals of building construction and
of the principles of art.
Not long ago, one of our prominent
architects made some suggestions for
the guidance of the owner or building
contractor who wants to work out his
own home building ideas. They are
worth repeating, and l will give the
giSt of them in a few words.
Few persons, save architects, are
aware that the rectangle most agree
able to the human eye is the rectangle
whose sides are in proportion one to
another, as three is to five. All man
kind, in designing shapes, unconscious
ly choose the three to five proportion
in preference to the two to five or the
n to five, or five to five. Did you
ever see a square writing tablet, or
banner? Come to think about it they
are all three to five. There are def
mite rules of harmony in shapes just
as well as in tones.
But the architect does not follow
rules when he composes a plan. The
musician has the tune in his head -
the architect has the design in his
eve. Both are written records, the
one with notes, the other with blue
prints.
Thus, the architect gives the roof
the right pitch, places the windows and
doors in the right positions, makes
the trimmings the right width, deter
mines the kind of gables and the
height of the walls, takes into account
the position Of the house on the LOT
and the appearance of neighbOring
buildings.
Closely related to the sense of pro.
portion is the ems of stability and
unity. However secure a porch may
be-, it does not appear well unless il
has visible support. I know of houses
which make me every time ]
pass them. They are securely built, YET
look "~tOp-heavy." Ihave in mind still
other houses which violate the princi
pie of unity because they have sec
lions of unity appear as though they
had been built afterward, giving the
impression of not really being a part
Of the house, just an addition" The
work of an architect is not a group OF
walls, it is a unified structure with
uniform design.
The manner in which he attempts tC
ornament a house betrays the amateur
quicker than anything else. No orna.
ment should be put on which does
not have a meaning. Ornaments are
mostly sensibly employed when theil
effect is to strengthen the proportion
unity or stability, impressions which
every well-designed structure mus
have. For instance, big pillars
though mechanically unnecessary, as
sure the onlOoker that the weight
above is supported.

SENSE OF GUILT IN ANIMALS
Proof That They Know When They
Are Doing Wrong, and Seek to
Evade Consequences.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended to be lame in order
to avoid going to a military exercise.
A chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing in order to pro-
cure dainties.
The cuckoo, as is well known. lays
its eggs in another birds nest, and, to
make the deception surer, it takes
away one of the other birds eggs. AMI
mails are conscious of their deceit, as
is shown by the fact that they try to
act secretly and noiselessly they show
a sense of guilt if detected; they take
precautions in advance to avoid dis
covery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus, bees
which steal hesitate often before ana
after their exploits, as if they feared
punishment.
A naturalist describes how his mon
key committed theft. While he pre-
tended to. sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation, and stopped every
time his master moved or seemed on
the point of awakening.

What the Rarber Thouaht.

AS illustrating the slight esteem in
which scientific men are held, Profess
sor Sir 81. S. Jackson, one of the new
knights commanders of the order OF
the British empire, told a story recent
ly of an experience that befell him
some time back at a certain large town
in the Midlands, where he had gone in
order to be present at a meeting of the
British association. On the morning
following his arrival he went to a bar
ber's shop to get his hair cut, and the
man who waited on him, after some
preliminary conversation, asked:
"What exactly is this British a~ssocia-
ton that's meeting here today?"
The professor explained hat it was
a society of learned scientific men.
"Oh," said the barber, in tones OF
evident disgust, 81 thought it was q
football team"

Cornices and copings of uniform
pattern may be used to make ali parts
of the building appear as parts of the
whole. Wall bands frequently divide
unprOportiOnato walls into proportion
ate sections, Experts occasionally
carry out imitation schemes, repre-
sensations, for instance, of flowing wa
ter plants, trees and men. But s0ch
embellishments would look ridiculous
on any simple building which our lay
man friends might design. In any
case, not more than one kind would be
used. Never add an ornament be-
cause chat place looks bare"
Utility is less Il matter of art. But
the architects experience enables him
to provide for the maximum of cOnve-
nience with a minimum of expense.
He knows how much sunlight can get
through a window of given size in a
given position. He knows how to
place the heating and plumbing ap-
paratuses where they are least apt to
give trouble and will serve best.
The architects familiarity with the
cost and nature of materials, enable
him to tell his client how elaborate a
structure can be built with a given
amount of money, and how best that
amount can be expended. The archi-
tect who starts a client building a
$4,000 structure with only $4,000 is
nOt under ordinary circumstances
worthy of his calling. I say "ordi
nary times because soaring wal
prices have fooled the best of us.
If, with all the multiplicity of cir
cumstances to be taken into account
the layman can on paper lay out 6
building which, when completed, viii
satisfy all the requirements of proper
ton, simplicity, unity, utility and econ
omy, he certainly does not need tht
services of an architect. He is the1
an architect himself.
Surely it is worth while to desigl
every detail correctly. The appear
ance Of the buildings in which are GU
homes or our places of business is

LIKE THE TINTED UNDERWEAR
In Preference to the Anticipated
White Lingerie.

Paris does not care for white lin
gerie as much Is it did. There is a
pronounced tendency toward colored
linen, embroidered silk, chiffon and
mOusseline de sole, says Vogue. Some
times the embroidery is done in heavy
silver, which is q surprise, but is ratI.
rally not meant for the chemises of
everyday. When lingerie is trimmed
at all, the trimming is of Irish lace,
drawnwork, feather stitching and sim
pie embroidery of which the patterns
are achieved by dots rather than by
elaborate garlands.
The modern silhouette has led to the
abolition of the stiff brassiere and
heavily bOned corset. The Parisienne
now wears, instead of a brassiere, a
delicate affair made of lace-perhaps
Of Irish crochet, with silk elastic
bands to give it substance-and her
hip corset is of very supple tricot.
Another change due to the silhou-
cite is evident in the enforced absence
of petticoats, for p%etticoats are BAN
ished and combinations of crepe de
chine take their place. Sometimes
these combinations are all black, trim
med with bias bands of net, without a
vestige Of lace. Many of them are of
the envelope variety. One pretty mod
ell of black and white checked chiffon
is embroidered with tiny pink rose
buds; another, of washable crepe de
J chine, has inserts of black net. These
models are executed in a wide range
of colors and are very new. The mar.
rowness of the prevailing skirt de-
mands the suppression of every extra
fold and the use of the thinnest lin.

BLEACHING Hint

If a dress of light or medium color
has become faded, it may be bleached
perfectly white. Fill small bags made
of cotton cloth with chloride of lime.
The bags should be about two by four
inches. Put these bags in a tub of hot
water and let the lime dissolve. These
bags serve to keep the lime from eat
ing material. Stir water well, put in
material and soak over night. Two
bags should be used for l~ight-colored
material and three for darker. If the
goods do not bleach perfectly by this
method, it may be supplemented by
boiling in clear water for a short time,
then hung in the sun to dry. Rinse
well. This process does not hurt cot
ton or mercerized material.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

We must give the Pacific coast credit
for much of the virility of modern
home architecture in America. Ideas
originally carried out in light summer

been adapted by architects who have
specialized along this line to the sev-
eral needs of our Northern and Eastern
climates; and a modified type of

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. By some myS-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt. The urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, advises washing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then if you want
to take a harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your druggist and
get Anuric double strength), for 60c.
This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-wiH drive out
the uric acid poisons and batho the kid
neyS and channels in a soothing LIQUID.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for
free examination. Experience has
taught Doctor Pierce that "Anuric" is
a most powerful agent in dissolying
uric acid, as hot water melts sugar.
Send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial package.

In the judges own Kansas dictionary.

years in shortgrass courts, there are
more than 1000 western words and

ports that the latest Standard and
