QUEER OLD "MAGIC MIRROR"
One in British Museum Known to Have
Been Used by Aztecs and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use of magic
mirrors played an important part In
religion and wizardry in the past, and
though almost every nation had its
own method these did not vary as
much as 1t would be supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw, and which were always to reflect
the good and the beautiful for the
gods, the ancient Mexicans taught
that their god Texcatlipuco had a
magic mirror in which he saw every
thing that happened each day in the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with its
strange textile string still attached Is
In the British museum now and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Next
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gazing. It Is
much the same as the other crystals
used by so-called wizards" SO far as
its shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prac-
ticed. and 1t Is said by those who have
tried 1t that the mirror or crystal
seems to disappear into mist after 1t
has been stared at In complete silence
for great length Of time, and then
If ever-the visions appear.

Revenge of a Reporter.

Doctor Gore, the retired bishop Of
Oxford, has been one of the numerous
British victims of the American re-
porter. During a visit to the Ameri-
can Episcopal church some years ago.
he was besieged In a "city" of the
wild West by horde of copy-hunting
pressmen, who demanded his views of
various topical subjects, but he de-
clined to be drawn.
The next morning purely fictitious
interview appeared in a local paper
giving at great length startling opin-
ions he was alleged to hold on various
topics, including some highly spiced
personal criticisms on local politicians
opposed to the paper.
This work Of Imagination was H.

We are to have a variety of new and
unique styles in blouses this fall. AL
ready the advance models have passed
in review and manufacturers are pre-
pairing still others to follow. These will
show notifications and adaptations Of
the styles already presented and of the
wholly new forms Of trimmings that
have been brought out. American
producers, now in competition with
Europe for the trade of the world, as
pire to making the American blouse
pre-eminent, like the American shoe,
in style. and as good as the best in
material. Therefore we expect, with
good reason, blouses that will accom-
plish the utmost that designers can do,
In variety of styles.
Tailored blouses are shown In flesh,
| white, navy and black satin and with
| high necks and long sleeves. Fine
| tucks in groups that form stripes
p,ove to be appropriate and most pop
ular for trimming. The directoire in
| fuence appears in tailored models hav-
| Ing collars and frills of that period.
| Georgette and foulard are combined in
other tailored blouses, the plain georg-
cite forming the body and sleeves, with
cuffs, vest and directoire collar of
foulard.
In dressy blouses there are some
very rich and unique models. One OF
black satin Is cut klmono style, with
short sleeves and has basque so long
that one wonders 1t Is classed as a
blouse. In keeping with its style 1t
is adorned with embroidery In silver
ind gold, of japanese inspiration. Col

ored georgette with trimming of paral-
lei rows of drawn work and embroid-
cred floral designs appears among the
elbow-sleeved models for dressy wear.
Silk floss as trimming is as popular
as georgette in materials. 1t has been
used to initiate baby lamb fur and
proves wonderfully effective on geOrg-
cite Russian blouses in gray, navy and
mahogany color
Blouses like that pictured. draped TO
the side, and tied with hanging ends,
are assured favorites. Heavy floss, in
several rich colors, and unusually
placed makes the most effective trim
ming on them, and pongee khaki-kool
or silks of like character or plain sat
in may be used to make them.
The georgette blouse pictured is one
OF an always increasing number in
which front and back panels are ex-
tended below the waistline to simulate
basque. 1t is embroidered with silk
floss and its edges finished with mar
row pipings of satin.

in several rows at the waistline into
the narrow belt. All the sewing on
this frock is carefully done. The old
fashioned pockets are outlined with
very narrow fancy braid of white cot
ton and have the simplest of very mar
row black ribbon set on them-a little
caress for being so pretty and quaint.
The waist, as simple and plain as
the skirt, is finished at the "V"-shaped
neck with wide plain collar of white
net set off with bow of black ribbon
and white lawn chemisette fills it in
daintily. Altogether this is dress
that Is worth the while of an artist in
clothes, and it is very pretty. Perhaps
the same design is responsible for the
brown and white small-checked ging-
ham, made up with the introduction
of white lawn in accessories, with a
hat to match, that outshines its more
expensive rivals on the street. These
familiar materials and unpretentious
dresses have their own charm and are
in class by themselves.
