Evening dresses of chiffon taffeta
with capeS TO match are among the
alluring new arrivals. They are the
last word in beautiful colors, with
bouffant skirts in the new length and
voluminOuS capeS that nearly cover
them. The capes are lined with chif-
fOn, usually in a contrasting color, and
there is a CLEAN of this color through
the thin silk, as in cape of light blue
with pale orange for the lining. Very
fine plaitings of the silk are used in
bands for trimming and in collars that
have the appearance of a full ruche
about the throat. These gay trappings
are worn with hose and slippers to
match them in color. They have no
responsibilities other than to clothe
beauty most beautifully.

CHIMMERING taffetas will rustic
- their way through this summer, in
the broad light of day and under the
evening lamps. Nothing in fabrics,
however, triumphant IN the world of
fashion, Outrivals this old-time favorite
in silks which finds itself more allur-
ing than ever In the colors, and tones
of colors peculiar to the present sea-
son. For generations it has been
medium in which colOr-Of whatever
kind-has found its best expression,
from the richest and glossiest blacks
to the palest tints, and we are inclined
to believe that 1t has reached the
zenith Of its beauty in this particular
summer. Quite likely our grandmoth-
ers were convinced of the same thing.
In the two frocks for afternoon
wear, pictured above, taffeta silk
makes its oft repeated appearance In
deep, clear, glossy black, in the dress
at the left. This blacklist Of blacks Is
accentuated by decorations Of white
ribbon and white stitchery that simu-
late beads, in the always-admired
brilliant black and white dress for
midsummer. The narrow panels Of

center of the top of block ii.
The purpose of strips G Gig. 81 is
to prevent the teeter from fitting too
far. In the model illustrated, they are
~ inches below the nail pivots.
When the hopper has been filled
with sand free from pebbles and dirt
that might clog the outlet, the sand
will pour into whichever sand pocket
Is tilted uppermost, until the weight
is sufficient to overbalance it, when the.
end of the teeter board on that side of
the center will drop as far as bumper.

pocket. Meanwhile, sand from the
hopper will pour into the other sand
pocket, and when the weight becomes
sufficient, the teeter will tilt.
A doll for each end of the teeter Is
needed, and In Figs. and 10 have
shown parts Of the right size.

October is our tenth month. hut the
eighth in the old Roman calendar, an
its name indicates. Our Saxon ancss-
tors called 1t Wynemonth, or the wine
month. In allusion to this Kane, an
old writer remarks: "And albeit, they
had not anciently wines made in their
own country, yet in this season they
had them from divers countries ad-
joining" In some of the ancient Sax
on calendars this month Is represented
by a farmer carrying a sack on his
shoulder and sowing grain, In alusion
to the practice of sowing winter grain.

Wonderful Te!escope.

The excellence of the big Lick tele-
scope, and the steadiness of the air
when the conditions are good on
Mount Hamilton, are attested by the
statement of one authority that double
stars, whose compOnents are nearly
equal in brightness, can be measured
If the distance between them exceeds
One-tenth of second of arc. What
this means in accuracy of definition
may be understood by remembering
the fact that one-tenth of second is
equal to the apparent diameter of an
ordinary pin, viewed by the naked eye
at distance of two miles.

from Queen Elizabeth to plant an

little colony on Roanoke island. There
in 1887 was born the first American

later that permanent settlements were
made. Daring pioneers from Virginia
pressed south into the new territory,
and these, augmented by large COM

greater number of Germans from the
Paiatinate, founded the first North
Carolina town of Newburn in ITO. BY

to such an extent, with an influx of

who settled chiefly in the western

the original thirteen colonies. Today
its population entities it to twelve
electoral votes for President. In area
it stands about half way among the

Carolina was the twelfth state to
adopt the Constitution, the formal
ratification taking place in November,

Carolina, as in the case of South Car

meaning Charles, and was given orig
inally in honor of King Charles TX
of France and retained by King

the road is rough. The trip was made
