Nov that style creators have pro-
L claimed and reiterated their in
tentiOn to lengthen skirts, to advocate
simplicity, to pay much attention TO
becoming draperes, we may expect
to see many lovely and dignifed after
noon frOcks that will delight the
hearts of smart matrOns. The tunic
is assured and in the interest of
graceful draperies, both the tunic and
the underskirt are privileged to be
uneven in length at the bottom.
Straight hens will disappear to be
replaced by lines that deviate from
evenness and make vague finish for
the bottom Of the skirt
The new Canton crepe, crepe-de-
chine, and other supple weaves of silk,
lend themselves to all these style in
novations so well that it seems as If
they were made for each other. When
fabrics fit the mode so perfectly one
IS inclined to believe that the styles
were created for the fabrics. Two
handsome frocks for afterno wear,
as shown above, employ the crepey

Bees Eaten for Revenge.

Bees are usually employed as manu-
fncturers of honey, which is every
where considered a delicious food, bur
there are places where the bees them
selves serve as a food.
The negroes Of Guiana, when stung
by bee, proceed to catch as many as
they can and in revenge eat them. It
would be interesting to know what
happens as an effect of the sting thus
taken internally.
In Ceylon the natives hold a torch
under the bee swarm hanging to q
tree, catch them as they drop then
carry them home, boil them and eat
them.-PopulNr Science Monthly.

these assurances, the designer of
lace frocks has everything to encour-
age him.
In the lovely frocl pictured we have
all these style points emphasized in
dress of ecru lace and changeable
taffeta which may be imagined in tan
and rose. A wide net top lace is ar
ranged in long tunic with points at
the bottom falling below the hem of
the skirt This hem, it should be
noted, makes no pretentions to even
ness. The tunic is shortened at the
sides. In the bodice the pattern in
the lace sweeps across the front in
diagonal lines, but over the right Shout
der in straight lines. The net sleeves
show the top portion of the lace pat
tern. The wide and long sash would be
of ecru colOred ribbon. Such a gown
might be chosen by maid or matron of
honor; in company with a hat as dis
tinctive as that pictured, it could not
fail to triumph.

~ NE thing we may be sure of, and
~ that is the continued vogue of
the lace gown. Everything conspires
to make this mode certain of long life.
To begin with, women love laCeS and
lace makers stimulate their devotion
by constantly turning out new and al
Turing varieties of lace. More than
all else, the general usefulness of lace
gowns is factor in their favor-they
fit in for formal and informal wear. ac-

them, and are at home either in after
noon or evening affairs.
Black, brown and ecru laces are in

Silks or satins, usually in the same
color, but with contrasting color notes
in girdles and sashes, or in trimmings,
which are sparingly used with lace.

BIRD AND ANIMAL CUT-OUTS.

If you can get whitewood or bass
wood one-fourth inch thick, such as is
sold for ScrOll-saw work, and hand
scroll-saw, it will be a simple opera
ton to cut the parrot shown in Fig.
l, and the monkey shown in Fig. 6, out
Of wood. But if you have neither the
wood nor saw, you can cut the figures
out of heavy cardboard with knife.
To simplify the work of drawing
the parrot and the monkey, have pro-
vided patterns in Figs. and 5, and
these you can easily reproduce the
size that you want to have them,
by the process of charging by
squares. Take a piece of wrapping
paper, and cut it exactly ~ inches
wide by II inches long, being careful
to get the corners square. Then

a thousand women came to town as
delegates to some sort of a talkfest,
and the citizens were asked to furnish
them with board and lodging during
their stay. These danes came to town
logged out in purple and fine linen and
bespangled with precious stones, and
most Of them had money in every
pocket yet not one of them thought of
going to a hotel and paying her way
like little man. In the bunch were
the wives of bankers and laundrymen
and editors, and other VIGOROUSLY
wealthy citizens, and they were such
poor sports that they were willing to
accept o handOut rather than loosen
up few bones at the caravansary.
"Where were six of these female del
egates at our house. Aunt Julia goes

When she first heard that the women
Of the town were expected to take care
of the delegates she said she would
take care of two of them. A day or
two later she sent word that she could
provide for four, and then she cOnclud-
ed she could handle six, and if she had

you should have seen those six
women when they came down for
breakfast the first morning they were
there. They looked as sour as though
thay had just been given ten days on
thu rockpile. They began grumbling
among themselves, taking care to talk
lCnd enough for Aunt Julia to hear.
One said she had always been used
to good big pillow and she couldn't
sleep on pillow the size of a pin
cushion. If strangers ever stayed
OVER night at her house, she said they
would be given real pillows, and not
craven images.

skpt in kept her awake all night with

aEy woman with prSper self-respect
would let a guest have such bed.
Aunt Julia listened for a while, and

upstairs and gathered all the hand
