It is not as fragile as it looks, but it is fragile enough, at that. The waists are usually made of chiffon having & light-colored ground over which rather large flowers are scattered in many beautiful colorings and shadings. Besides these flowered patterns there are others, showing Persian de- signs in wonderful colors, and also some novelties rather difficult to de- scribe. In any case the chiffon is draped over a foundation of plain chit- fon, very thin silk, plain or figured net, or thin lace. By way of decoration the walsts are more or less elaborated with garnish- ings of lace, small brilliant buttons, and especially with tiny flat bows made of satin folds or narrow velvet ribbon. Destined for a less brief reign in favor are the plain blouses of crepe de chine made with sloping shoulders and long sleeves set into a regulation armhole. Narrow cuffs in bands of fine filet lace, or dainty collars and cuffs of organdie finish these elegant blouses. They are shown in light pink, maize, blue and sand color. Often a little vestee is worn with collar of plaited lace standing at the back, fin- ished with a :~rrow band of black velvet ribbon which sur;~rts and holds BLOUSE of white crepe de chine draped with wide shadow lace in a fine and novel pattern and having half-sleeves of lace, has proved itself to be one of the most useful and d&l pendable articles for the wardrobe of | woman.

There is a pattern of grifins and somewhat conventional- ized rose trees in pots and the edge is finished with shaded blue fringe. The shade is mounted over yellow silk, and the effect of the light shin. ing through the yellow and then the blue is delighttul. The shade costs about fifteen dollars. India Rubber as Eraser. India rubber, it is belleved, was used for the first time as an eraser in 1770. It was, however, many years later be- fore it was put in general use. Prior to this, pieces of bread.were used for erasing purposes. finishing touch a cravat of narrow black velvet ribbon extends about the neck, terminating in a tiny flat bow, with double loops at the front. Sim- ilar bows adorn the sleeves above the lace cuffs.

These are nmot practical un-| gopoer 16 voy Iike it less they are detachable, as collars become quickly sofled. But chemisettes with standing collars are made to be worn under the blouse, and this solves the difficulty for those who like the new high collar. T DESERTED W By MABEL WREN. (Copyright.) The Great Chihuahua desert lay white and calm in the moonlight; its solitude broken only by the yelp of some prowling coyote, traveling late | and aldne. Suddenly there appeared ! in the distance a strange cavalcade. | Two Mexicans, and then two more, marched with hurried step before a cart in which a mufiied bundle re- posed. The procession stopped, and a hasty grave was dug. Then the si- lent bundle was lifted from the cart and lowered into it. | Riding down a dry arroyo, at right angles to the procession, was an I American. The clinching of his teeth | and the nervous twitching of his hands | betokened that-all was not well with { him. “I hope to heaven,” he muttered flercely, “that another time I'll have sense enough to stay within the bor- ders of civilization. I was plumb lo- | coed in those days—didn't have sense ! enough to tell right from left. Great Scott! Any man who is content to throw away his chances in life as I i have ought to be shut up with the lunatics. Any man in his right mind who will spend his life among the greasers, coyotes and horned iod- i—" Words failed to convey the ire that bolled within him. Unconsciously his hands clenched until the nails sank deep into the! They are beautiful. They are run flesh.

It was only some man from the States who had been kHled in a row with the greasers. He, Chad Leeks, had not been above such rows himselt, and the whole thing was as plain as day to him. It was a common hap- ; pening in the country to which he was_tled. 'Twas probably over some | woman. Chad’s mind worked quickly. He si- lently followed one of the men home, swore at him In approved Mexican style, and gent him up to the adobe hut of Chad Leeks to inform his wife and child that he had been shot in a ! dance row the uight before at a Mexi: | can hacienda. Meanwhile, the supposedly buried | Chad was speeding with all haste over ' the border. It was a step that he had been contemplating for some time; 1 the witnessing of the burial had mere- ly precipitated things. Once across the line, he boarded an east-bound train and rode until he had reached his boyhood home. His father welcomed with open arms the prodigal son who had run away Afrom college, and asked him few un- necessary questions about his wander- ings. n. let me present Mr. | Leeks. Chad is a very dear friend of mine. His mother and 1 were old school chur.:.” Chad’s figure straightened and his eyes lighted. A slim, cool hand rest- ed on his for an instant. Mrs. Drew bustled about and settled everybody cozily at the card table—and then fate seemed to settle things for him, When he left, the night was full of laughing eyes, of delicate, high-bred faces, of friendly words, of dainty hands that zlipped softly into his own. He turned abruptly frem the city un- til he felt the wet sand under his feet, then he settled down into a swinging stride that took him miles up the beach. When he returned to s room, he was so tired that he slept immc- diately. The next morning Le wes m his way along, head down and hands in his pockets, when a merry voice greeted him: “Walk with me a moment, please.

A fascinating sight is to watch the first stages in the manufacture of the big guns, which are proving so devas- tating in the war. A solid ingot of steel, some fifty feet in length and welghing about one hundred tons, is employed in the making of a 13-inch gun. After being forged and then al- lowed to cool, so that it may be toughened for the heavy work, this gi- gantic bar of steel is pressed into cylin- drical shape by a powerful hydraulic press, which exerts a pressure of any- thing between 5,000 to 10,000 tons to the square inch. Later what is known | as the trepanning operation is carried | out, namely drilling the bore from end to end. Next the bore is rifled. ‘The most impressive sight, however, is the hardening process, when the rough weapon is heated to dazzling' white heat and plunged into a well full of oil. If the operation takes place in the night time the sight of this big, glowing bar of metal being lowered apparently into the bowels of | the earth issuing leaping tongues of | flames from the burning oil, may bc] likened to a scene from Dante’s Infer- no. The gun is left to cool in the ofl | bath, out of which it comes hardened, toughened and tempered. Now follows the wire-winding opera- tion to make the weapon stronger and | impart to it some measure of elastic- ity. This wire winding is much the' same in principle as the whipping on the handle of a cricket bat. In this case, however, the whipping takes the form of a strong steel ribbon, which is wound around the body of the gun. Every 13-inch gun has about one hun- dred and twenty miles of this steel ribbon wound about it. Some idea of the labor involved in the manufacture of one of these guns may be gathered from the fact that from stort to finish the time occupied is u.oaths, SPEGIAL SALE For THIRTY DAYS we will Make a Special Sale on the New Improved White Rotary Sewing Machine Thirt& Dollars Cash Just one-half the usual price Takes one of them Don’t let this opportunity pass without supplying your needs.
