MoDIsH COSTUME OF VELVET
Outfit, Particularly Original, Is Con.
structed of Black Material With
Winsome Chinese Blouse.

A very original costume shown re-
Gently was one of black velvet with a
Chinese blouse. Defying almost every
preconceived idea of what fashions
are supposed to be, the most notice
able feature of the suit was it's ex-
treme chic and up-to-date air. In the
first place it was semi-ftted, rather
more at the back than we are accus-
toned to seeing, and then it was cut
exactly knee length.
Perfectly plain manniSh reverS eX-
tended to below the normal waistline
and were bound with velvet. Not a
pocket or a slash relieved its severe
blackness and the sleeves were slight
ly wider at the wrists as an only con-
cession to the mode. No visible means
appeared at the front by which to
fasten the coat, for buttonholes or
buttons were absent, ana the fronts
Just touched. Plain tailored suits we
have had in plenty, but the extreme
pocketless plainness of this model and
it's length sets it apart. The skirt was
plain and rather narrow and the Chi
nese blouse of blue and black was
held with cord girdle finished with a
huge tassel.

HARVEST FROM UNDER OCEAN
KsIp Has Been Proved of Such Value
in Industry That 1t Is Now Care
fully Gathered.

A good deal has been written about
the use of the seaweed, kelp, for the
production of potash, and a good deal
of extravagant dreaming has been in
dulged in. However, the keip industry
has put itself on solid and prosper
GUS footing, and gold in the shape of
the indispensable potash is being har-
vested from the waters of the PACIFIC.
The cutters or harvesters are ocean
going boats and stay out at sea all the
time, while the barges carry the mac
Grated kelp back to the wharf, where it
is pumped from the holds into fer
menting tanks. Foreign matter such
as bolts, nuts, etc. brought in with the
kelp are removed by electromagnetic
before the pumps are reached.
Harvesting consists in cutting the
plant about six feet below the surface
of the water. 1t has actually been
found that this treatment improves the
growth and stand of tire beds to such
an extent that they may be cut over
about every 90 days. The area cut at
present extends from Point Conception
south to the Mexican line.
The potash is all used for chemical
purposes, owing TO it's unique purity,
and there is not enough of it to sup
ply this demand. The total quantity of
the pure product is not great enough
to be considered seriously for fertilizer
purposes. There are, however, num-
ber of residues produced containing
potash which amount to quite ton
mage.

NO CHURCH DIES THAT WAY
DevoGt coIored Preacher Undoubtedly
Had Right Idea, and Expressed
1t EloquentIy.

The following story comes to US
from old Virginia:
A devout colored preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary
zeal, gave notice to his congregation
that in the evening an offertory would
be taken for missions and asked for
liberal gifts. A selfish, well-to-do man
in the congregation said to him, before
the service: Eyer gwine to kill dis
church eff yer goes on sayin' 'giver
No church can stan it. Yer gwine
ter kill it."
After the sermon the colored min
lister said to the people: Brother
Jones told me was gwine to kill this
church if 1 KEEP a-askin' yer to give;
but, my brethren, churches doesn't
die dat way. Eff anybody knows of a
church that died cause it's been givin'
too much to de Lord, I'll be very much
obliged eff my brother will tell me
whar dat church is, for Is gwine to
visit it, and I'll climb on de walls of
dat church, under de light of de moon,
and cry: Blessed am de dead dat die

NEW MATERIALS FOR SPRING
Calico Patterns in Indestructible Wolfe
Regarded Foremost Among the
Novelty Goods.

That the use of silk will probably
continue to hold it's place is evident
from the fact that both the gingham
and the calico print patterns are be-
ing copied in silk, states writer in
the New York Herald. Some of the
novelty silks are simply fascinating.
One called dew-kist is a rough wavy
silk with a great deal of simmer, and
Is carried out in blended shades very
strikingly. One combination is blue
and gold color and is very successful.
To be poetic, it looks very much like
sunset on ripping blue water. Kumsi
kumsa is another good-looking fabric,
slightly heavier than the one previous
ly spoken of, 2ad very much on the
same order.
A madras crepe plaid features the
patterns which we usually associate
with gingLams and does it in a most
interesting way. For sheer novelty,
however, calico patterns in indestructi-
BILE voile must be mentioned as first
and foremost. The idea is decidedly
quaint and the patterns are still more
so--little knots Of rose-colored flow
ers on gray backgrounds and other de-
signs dear to the hearts of our grand
mothers. These fabrics will all find a
place in The wardrobe being planned

USE OF FRINGE ON A FRocK
Charming Border Treatment Is Easily
Produced, Affording Most Clever
Arrangement.

1t took some one of decidedly un-
conventional turn of mind to put
fringe on a frock and not use it fringe
wise, says a correspondent. The re-
suit was very decidedly to the good,
and the means surprisingly simple.
You see the effect was that of large
fluffy silky shells, and they made the
most charming border treatment ever.
The fringe was treated this way:
Lengths sufficiently long to make
generous spirals were cut and applied
spiral fashion with widely separated
invisible stitches along the border
of the fringe, which, of course, was
perfectly plain, neither knotted nor
twisted. After that each strand of
the fringe was looped, or turned under
itself and the end stitched securely
to preserve the loop. Thus you see
the effect was a soft spiral of loops.
Chenille fringe would be delightful to
work with this way, and perhaps a bit
easier than the more "stringy'' kind.
Nor is there any artistic reason for
not using two colors of fringe, del
phine blue, for instance, and black,
placed alternately.

Hilda MOrsheim, whose activities were
well known, though we could then do
nothing to counteract them. She made
a speciality of Turing young officers into
gambling dens, winning large sums
from them, and thus leading them
down the slope toward disgrace and
death.
"She had a confederate who was
highly placed in the war department.
When, by their united efforts, they
failed to make q traitor of Captain
Hampton, they cOmpaSSed his ruin.
How they did so I need not describe
now. The facts are Of record; 1t is
enough to say that they succeeded.
Hampton was driven into exile; but
they were not satisfied with that. They
broke his career, they drove him from
the company of all decent men. But
that was not enough. They broke his
wife's heart; she died. They made his
name one of execration. Still they
were not satisfied. With deviliSh in

tracks by making it appear that Hamp-

TRAGEDY ABOVE THE CLOUDS
Individual combats and Disasters That
Test the Nerves and Wits of the
Flying Fighters.

Though airplane battles are ire
nlendously exciting for all those par
ticipating in them, it is not always in
actual conflict that the nerves and wits
Of flyers are tested to the utmost. Many
adventures may be met in tanner pur-
suits.
Every now and then comes the roar
of gun from below, followed by fash
es of blue and red, harsh, angry explo-
sions right and left, front and rear; ;
the disappearance in flames sometimes
of what till then had been a welcome
companion on the wing, the drone of
some hardy adventurer strenuously en-
deavOring to climb into The night, and
row and then the awful spectacle of
machine emerging safely from q
smoke cloud only to go smash into an
other travelling in different direction.
An awful smash, a hideous explo-
sion, smoke, human cries, flames and
then, with volcanic intensity, the sud-
den plunging into the abyss not only
of what a few moments previously
were two magnifcently equipped bomb
throwers, but four human souls, brave,
proud, youthful and adventurous

War Coinage In Germany.

Due to metal shortage Germany has
instituted iron coinage The fraction
al mark coins are no longer of copper
and nickel, but are forgings of Sic
mens-Martln steel. The coinage of
copper was discontinued in 1917. Alu-
minum had been coined to a small ex-
tent before the war; the smallest
coins, one and two pfennig pieces, are
now made of aluminium, which is more
attacked by ordinary water, soda,
salts, etc, than by distilled water.
Zinc coins have recently been intro
duced. Zinc coins had been used in
French Indo-China; they are again
more apt to corrode, especially when
impure with lead, cadmium and ircn,
in distilled water than in ordinary Wa
ter; they turn yellow-brown, but as
sumo pleasant gray tint in soda and
salt. On the whole, the cheapest iron
coins have answered best.-Engineer-

PRICES ARE TO BE HIGHER
National Cloak and Suit Manufacture
ers Warn That Clothes Will
Cost More in 1919.

Manufacturers attending the recent
convention of the National Cloak and
Suit Manufacturers association at
cleveland, O., say they believe that
prices of suits and cloaks for next
spring and fall may be 25 per cent
higher than 1918, due to the increased
cost of labor and operating expenses.
The style committees recommends
tiOns for next spring as announced
shows a new silhouette in Dolman
coats and capes, built Oh loose hang
ing lines and tapering slightly at the
bottom.
Short, loose hanging, boxy models
with braid, cording, or embroidery
trimming will be popular in suits.
Others are more simple of outline and
will be worn with white or colored
vests or vesteeS.
The skirts for spring will be built
on youthful lines, not too tight and
having the appearance of tapering at
the foot line.

CHAPTER XVII.

Hartley sat up on the stretcher and
fixed his eyes on HOward's face. 1t
was evident that he was desperately
wounded. One of the orderlies kneeled
beside him and held him.

he could not altogether hide, twas once

work in the war department. He was
accused of spionage-unjustly ac-
eused."
With low cry Eleanor rushed for
ward and kneeled beside the stricken
man; she placed her arms about him
and drew his head down upon her
shoulder. looking piteously into the
weary eyes. Hampton raised her hand
to his lips and kissed it.

Eleanor staggered toward the Colo

cried in a choking voice:
"Say it's Untrue! Only say that it's

but there was not the least conviction

"You found his papers," said Keller
man.
Nobody answered him. Eleanor went
up to Mark and raised her white face
to his. :Tell me what you think, Cap
tain Mark" she pleaded.
And once more Mark was mute. She
read his face as if by inches. She
turned toward Kellerman. "Now will
you go?" she asked.
Kellerman saluted her with mock
formality. "T'll CO." he said, ''but he's
spent his chance. A spy's daughter

The ambulance bearers appeared at
the entrance to the recess. They bore
a stretcher. Propped up in it, swathed
in bloody clout of bandages, was
Hartley.

hand in triumph. 81 knew he'd come

SOME LATE STYLE HINTS

1t is said the very latest New York
fad is dresses of sateen. They bid fair
to be even more popular than were
the calico ones of last summer.
Monkey hair hats, though quite the
thing in Paris, are said to be unbecom-
ing to many women, especially to those
with very light or gray hair.
Brown, in a soft, dull tone, is
strong rival of black for evening
frocks. There is hardly an evening
frock, however, but that shows at least
a touch of black.
A smart new style is the slip-on
blouse with apron frCnt, adorned with
darling little pockets and wrist-length
bishop sleeves set into large armholes.
A narrow sash girdle holds the blouse
in about the waist.
