GLOVES OF AMERICAN DESIGN
Neither Those of Novel or Plain Effects Are Likely to Be Imported
 From France

With no novelty gloves from France and plain French gloves exceedingly scarce, American-made novelty gloves, mostly for street wear, are coming into high vogue, and will be all the rage among women this fall, according to q number of leading manufacturers who are in close touch with the trade.
 "Novelty gauntlets in two or three tone combinations, with strap wrists. and also slip-Ons are all the go nOW,' said the manager of the fancy goods division of a big New York house. "French lambs of domestic make are today in demand by the largest retail stores in the country. They come in silk and chamoiSettps, three rows in embroidery contrasting on white, with strapped wrists. Various designs are embroidered in the stripes upon the backs of the gloves in all the leading shadcs-heliotrope brown, navy, tan and cOrdOvan.

WORKS OF ART PRESERVED
Art World Interested in Uncovering of old Paintings in the Mosque of
 Saint Sophia.

An important result that may be looked for whenever Constantinople and the mosque of St. Sophia pass from under the control of the Turks is the verif1cation of a belief, not gen. orally known, that the interior walls of the building still hold in practically perfect condition the ornamentatiOn with which the Byzantine artists deco rated them, says writer in Christian Science Monitor. The statement is made with convincing detail by the Italian architect, Fossati, who was em- ployed by Sultan Abdu-ul-Mejid to put the mosque in complete repair To do this work Fossati removed the mat ting that lined the walls and took down the huge disks, covered with Arabic inscriptions, that here and there ornamented them; and behind these coverings he found the work of the en- cient Byzantines. Hagia Saphia, taken by the Turks in 1453, was converted
 to their own uses by the addition of

Origin of Lafayette's Name.


 Psychologists have discovered the origin of the famous name which dur ing the recent years of war has become dearer than ever to Frenchmen and Americans alike. La Fayette came from the part of France known as Au- vergne. He was born at Chavagnac, near Brionde, and his ancestral home stands not far from the village of Aire- lafayette. In this part of the country the word 'fayette' means a wood of 'fayards' and 'fayards' comes from the Latin word 'fagus. which in the dialect of the country has come to mean 'hetre or beech tree. A fayette,' therefore, is a beechWOod. Etymologically, then. the word La Fayette' is the equivalent of the Beechwood.' From V1ctogya

He Midht.

In summer time the boy scouts roll down their socks and follow the Scot tish custom of cool knees. Down at Camp Kinneuma, in Sullivan county, the scout executive, who is both very tall and very bOyish, follows the cus- tom of his boys. It is picturesque and the grown-up visitors understand it; but the other night tiny girl did not. She stared at the executive most of the time of her visit Then when the family started home she turned to her her father. 'The chief of the scouts is terribly tall, isn't he?" she asked.
 "Yes," answered mother
 ''I suppose other mems pants would be too short for him." she continued. "But don't you believe that if he saved up lot of money, mother, he could find a pair long enough for Sundays so his knees wouldn't show?"-Indian- apolis News.

rendered a second signal service to the Belgian people by the siege and cap ture of the Antwerp citadel, and once more a French regiment traversed the scene without doing any damage. A proposal was then made in the Belgian chamber by patriotic leader, M. Gen. debien, to the effect that the na- tional gratitude should be evinced by the removal of the lion monument al- together. He called it, and justly, as has been shown, "the hateful emblem of the despotfsm and violence which made us subject for 15 years to the humiliating yoke which we cast off ip September, 183O." I could not ask for more authoritative cOrroboration of my view that the Lion Mound is a monument to Dutch megalomania with out any reference to Britons or Bel gians whatever. Certainly the Bel gians would never have thought of erecting such a memorial to themselves, and as to this country, 1t Is not it's way.
 It is quite clear, then, that the mere reversal of the lions position affords no adequate solution to the problem of satisfying those French sentiments which M. Saintine expressed 90 years ago. and which I do not doubt are still entertained. Once the matter is taken into consideration, there can be no dis pute that the position and the pose of the lion are offensive and provocative to the French people, who, on three historic occasions in less than a cen- tury, have contributed of their best and bravest to the saving of Belgian independence.

Wide Sash of Narrow Ribbon.

Have you ever had dress which required d wide sash when you didn't feel like paying the price of a wide ribbon?
 Next time you are confronted with the same need and tine same disposi- tiOn toward satisfying it in the ribbon way, just take this way to have a ribbon sash at less cost than q wide ribbon would be.
 Suppose the dress is 0rgandie. Cut a sash of organdie three inches mar rOWer than the width you desire. Then on either edge sew d TOW of inch-and- n-half plain-coj"r satin ribbon. or else, dresden taftpta ribbon. II really makes uniquely uttrHrriv" sash. this combination of the dress stuff and uarruW ribbon, and certainly iS Il little dollar strrtcher iu these days of soar ing prices.

 Well" replied the boy, you ought to go to the circus and see the ele- phant."

MAKE THAT BLOUSE AT HOME
Popular Overtime Skirt Garment Need Have No Terrors for the Woman
 Clever With Her Needle.

One might almost think that the original designer of the costume or ovcr-the-slirt blouse had the home dreSSmukcr and her Iimitation in mind as the inspiration for this very popular garment. There can be no denying that it is easier to make than the blouse that must be drawn in at the WaiStlino and made to fit the figure Practically all of the long blouSes are straight in line with only a girdle or belt to indicate the waistline if a fitted effect Is desired, while equally as many are allowed to hang straight.
 A smart and unusual straight smock blouse in hip length recently seen was made of heavy satin with a deep band at the bottom done in cross-stitch e1n- broidery in contrasting color to simu- late shocking. The sleeves were slmi- larly finished.
 Another straight blouse recently brought out was a straight hip length affair, cut on smOCk lines. and made of heavy lace f1ouncing, the scallops of the lace forming the edge of the blouse. A lining of chiffon in color formed the foundation of the blouse The sleeves were long and bell shape.
 The lovely fabrics that are obtain able this season and the very simple styles that have received the unQuali- fed approval of Dame Fashion join forces to make the work of the home dressmaker easy. Good taste in select ing fabrics and judgment in determin- ing what style is best fitted to the indi- vidual figure, together with the ability to do fine hand work are all that is required for the development of these h1OuSeS

good portions cut from an old worn out carpet.
 We give a sketch of a mat suitable for placing under a standard lamp or a fern stand, that was made with a small remnant of stair carpet. The border of the carpet was carefully cut away, and the center portion cut into diamond shape. Then pieces of the border were cut to fit around it, and the whole thing sewn together and lined at the back with coarse canvas.
 Square or OblOng mats can, of course, be made upon the same lines, and sufficient material for several doormats may often be gleaned from an old dining-room or bedroom carpet. Our sketch clearly shows the way in which the border should be fitted around the carpet

TANNER 10 STAY
Every Indication That 1t Will
 Continue ir Vogue.
Small Bustle, Even, May Be Added to the Coming Seasons Gowns-SiIk Fringes Seem to Be Losing
 Their Popularity.

The indications are that the Dan- l nier comes to stay, and that some of the very best houses have even added the "vertuga0in," or small hustle l once a feature of our grandmother s toilette. One can imagine the charm of this revival-a gracious apparitiOn in softly lighted drawing room, a pretty young woman thus dressed very short sleeves, flat bodice adOra- ble puffs at hips, a saucy little hustle and a vision of the romantic past breathes and lives.
 In our present day era of practical good sense I doubt if we will witness the renaissance of the crinoline, but 1t cannot be denied that number of the latest evening dresses show a de- cided tendency to encourage the use of the very wide stiffened skirt, orna- mented by ruffles and large loops. The return of lace Is undoubtedly at the bottom of this new craze for ruff1es.
 Silk fringes are gradually disappear Ing. They have been overdone. Con- trariwise, cock plumes, put in the dis card for hat trimming, have found their future as ornaments for dresses. Cheruit shows us a model for evening wear made of silver cloth Qame), covered in white chiffon and trimmed only by a girdle of short cock plumes of a lovely Chinese blue; the girdle formed by inserting the feathers, one by one, in the delicate folds of the chiffon.
 Fringes of monkey fur are still fash ionable. They are placed lengthwise, following vertical seams and lines. The newest and prettiest waist cords are made of great wooden beads, hand painted in the coloring of the gown they are to accompany. This does not mean the exclusion of other girdles ; and just here it may be said that last years lovely style of using ropes of jet and like variations of the jet orna- ment will be still very much in favor. Some well-dressed women who do not like the arm entirely barred use clever ly draped strands and loops of jet pen dant from the shoulder or gracefully arranged with any of the hundred de vices of the adroft dressmaker.
 The wooden beads, however, will be more exclusive and original, be- cause they are expensive, being care fully and artistically handpainted.- Chicago American.

Old Fellow RighteousIy Indignant at Fastidiousnes of the Guests

 Captain Polk smiled.
 "Wen," he resumed, tour ideals are high. No more hotelkeepers like the cid fellow who complained about his summer visitors:
 "'You wouldn't believe the non- sense that is in them. They is al- ways wantin' a clane tablecloth an clane sheets to their beds. An table napkins, no less! I'll tell you what, there's sure people In this world that think they can go into a hotel an make a convainance of ft.'"

The radio graphs taken by the apparatus are ex- pected to show whether the concrete mixture has been kept uniform and compact: to detect any holes or voids in the structure; and to reveal any displacement of the reinforcing mate rial. Such defects, when brought to notice in time, can be remedied be- fore the work is completed.
