TWO CHARMING DRESSES FOR GIRLS
Cedar-Green Cashmere Makes Up In-
to Extremely Pretty Garments—
Sapphire-Blue Velveteen Rec- •
ommended for the Second.
The sketch to the left showB a
smart dress In cedar-green cashmere;
the skirt has a group of small tucks
on either side of the front of skirt,
they are stitched down Just over half-
way. Silk to match is finely tucked
for the yoke, and long cuffs, the upper
yart of sleeve is formed of a .\roall
puff of material, edged by a band of
passementerie, which also edges the
yoke; below the yoke on either side
of front four tucks are made to cor-
respond with those on skirt.
Materials required: Seven yards
-cashmere 48 inches wide, 2 V4 yards
passementerie, 3 yards silk.
The sapphire-blue velveteen is em-
ployed for the pretty dress on the
Tight. A band of passementerie trimB
the foot of skirt, otherwlsp it is quite
plain. Tucked silk, in a much lighter
blue, forniB the cuff and yoke; strips
and tabs of passementerie trim the
yoke and are also taken round the
armholes; other strips, only bound
with slik, are taken over the shoulders
and round the elbows.
Materials required: Nine yards vel-
veteen, 3% yards silk, 3% yards passe-
menterie.
FOR THE TURN-OVER COLLAR.
Venise Filet One of the Best of Ma-
terials to Be Chosen.
The girl whose turn-over collars are
worn out can make new ones on the
same foundations, which will probably
prove prettier than the original ones.
Irish lace, imitation and real, is not
new for turn-over collars, although It
is always good looking. The newer
thing is Venise filet with a slightly
scalloped edge. It can be bought at
the shops by the yard, and is easily
attached to the top of a linen founda-
tion.
The net of the filet should be coarse
and in color dead white, unless it is
to be worn with a colored blouse.
While imitation filet can be easily
picked up, it takes such a scrap for a
collar, that it is worth while buying
the real in two-inch width.
When it comes to the problem of
finishing the front edges, which, of
course, have no scallop, there are two
ways of solving it. The first is to use
heavy silk, and overcast the raw
edge, using a cord for padding. An-
other way is to buy the Btrip a little
longer than is needed, then cut off all
except the edge.
This is then turned up and applied
to the raw edge of the fronts.
Walking Suit an Absolute Necessity
■Garment That Gives Much Opportunity
for Individuality.
For general wear, it is imperative
that a woman should have a comfort-
able walking suit—one that clears the
ground and is made as simply as pos-
sible, but still follows the lines of the
prevailing fashion. Even for the wom-
an of limited means there is just as
much opportunity for individuality in
dress as ever, and fashion seen
through artistic individual taste is al-
ways in its best form.
The garment may be simple in the
extreme and yet be exceedingly smart
if its cut is up-to-date. The long
straight effects are seen in every sort
of garment, and tend to make the
■wearer at least slender if not tall.
Good material should be selected In
making up any kind of dress. The ma-
terial which costs twice or three times
as much as some cheaper stuff will
often outwear the style of the garment
and make over to good advantage.
After a cleansing and pressing it Is
like new and never loses its distinction
of good quality. A good quality, too,
always speaks for itself, and means
more for the success of garments
made at home than the average wom-
an realizes.
Broadcloth iB more than ever to the
fore this winter, as it suits exactly
the requirements of the directoire
mode. It has substance enough to
make up for the absence of volumin-
ous underskirts, and Its delightful
drapable quality takes the long lines
and the fashionable figure to perfec-
tion.
It comes in every conceivable shade,
and some of the tones are exquisite.
However, for more common wear, such
as the suits sketched on this page,
worsteds, serge, cheviots and English
cloths are more suitable, and perhaps
stand rough everyday wear better.
The whole costume should carry out
one color scheme, with perhaps a
touch of some other color or a bit of
gold, which is so very popular this
season, may be introduced.
Children's New Frocks.
The high-waisted, one-piece frocks
are here for children. They look quite
quaint and charming in them. It is
an especially pretty style for wear at
their evening parties, made of messa-
line, soft cashmere, chine silk, or silk
mull.
The skirt has the same lines used
on grown-ups. It runs to the bust,
and is almost straight over the waist.
It fastens down the back uuder a box
plait, and the top part is made from
good lace, fine embroidery, and some-
times a little gold and silver thread.
Young girls wear this kind of a
gown in rose pink, old blue, Nile green
and faint lavender.
TO FRESHEN UP A FROCK.
Tucked Net in Skillful Hands Will
Work Wonders.
The tucked net that now comes by
the yard is a wonderful time saver
to a busy girl.
She who finds in the morning that
^the gown she wishes to wear that aft-
ernoon is hopelessly shabby at yoke
and sleeves, need not sit to lament,
but with a yard of this ready-tucked
goods and an hour's time can hafe her
gown freshed up quite like new.
By using the old sleeves for a pat-
tern it Is surprising how quickly new
ones can be cut and run together by
hand.
This net comes with tucks of vari-
ous widths in white, cream and black.
Then there is net that is tucked in
groups of threes with two or three
Inches space between each group,
which is filled with colored dots em-
broidered in silk. This is not onlr
used for yokes, but also makes up
very prettily Into shirt waists.
No trimming of any kind need be
used on them. They are made to
fasten down the front with either
crochet buttons to match the dota or
with tiny rhinestone ones.'
If you have dark hair and it seems
to be coming out cut off a slice of
lemon and rub it in your scalp; it will
stop that trouble promptly.
The application of lemon Juice will
sometimes cause warts to disappear.
Touch them several times during the
day with a camel s-hair brush soaked
In the juice.
When a person has no appetite, and
the actual eating is an effort, she can
be properly nourished on liquid foods.
A glass of milk, in which two raw
eggs have been shaken, is a good
meal. The liquid should be poured
through a fine strainer and may be
sweetened and flavored to *aste.

TRIES PATIENCS OF CURATOR.
/fi A JPLWDID ATr/rUDE : GOLDZSf £/tCiF
F/Rfmy tiQlMBOLGS I GQiFFOtfS
In September last I was enabled,
through tne Kindness of a Hungarian
friend with whom I have spent many
a pleasant day in Albania, to put into
execution a long-talked-of project In
the shape of a sporting and photo-
graphic expedition to the heights of
the Carpathians.
After making camp at the tree line,
we rode up to the ridge overlooking
the camp as far as the horses could
go, and then climbed upwards In order
to find a suitable place to put into ex-
ecution our long-contemplated plans
for photographing eagles. It was not
easy to find exactly what we wanted
with a good outlook facing north, to
Insure having a working light all day;
but at last we pitched on a spot which
looked as if, with a little labor, it
could be turned into a good hiding-
place. A large block of rock about ten
feet high, already provided with a
deep crack or fissure, in front of
which, to the north, was a small
plateau, sharply relieved against the
sky except for the conical tip of a
distant peak, seemed to us an ideal
place from which to work. The three
men whom we had taken up were set
to work enlarging the crack by remov-
ing some big stones which had fallen
In, after which the side was built up
with rocks, and also the front. Then
two of the men were sent down to cut
a couple of young fir trees, with the
cut-up trunks of which we constructed
a roof. When this was artistically cov-
ered with turf It looked so natural that
one day I nearly walked over it my-
self, and on another occasion a raven
sat on it while I was inside. This job
took us the best part of a day, and was
worth the trouble, for unless you are
thoroughly well concealed with the
camera, it is perfectly useless to ex-
pect such keen-sighted birds as ravens,
eagles or vultures to come near;
whereas, If you are completely hidden,
there la no hesitation on their part,
and you are certain of success sooner
or later. They may not come the first
day, or even the second, but if you
make up your mind to wait until they
do come you are sure to get them,
provided, of course, that there are any
about' in the neighborhood or that
there are no other carcasses on which
they are feeding, in which case it Is
sometimes necessary to wait a consid-
erable time. The next day we drove
up a poor old "sausage horse," which
we had bought on purpose, and shot
it just in front of the hiding place.
Then a part of the built-up front had
to be removed to allow me to crawl
in with the camera, after which it was
built up again, leaving only a hole
sufficiently large for the lens to bear
directly on the carcass. In this rock
prison I spent nine days of about nine
hours each, the Jager coming up every
day about sunset to release me.
One day my attention was attract-
ed by the flapping of powerful wings,
and I expected every moment to see
either eagles or vultures appear on
the carcass (I must explain that I
could only see wbaf. was going on
through the camera lens itself, and my
view therefore was rather restricted).
Nothing came into sight, however:
but still the flapping continued, and I
soon became aware that a fierce con-
flict was raging outside my prison.
The noise was tremendous; it really
sounded as if two express trains, or
perhaps two airships, were rushing
through the air in deadly combat
Mingled with the beating of great
wings I could hear crleB of rage and,
once or twice, actual blows struck.
Prom the nearness of these sounds It
seemed that the duel was being fought
round the pile of rock in which I was
concealed. But all I could see were
the shadows of the combatants gliding
past at lightning speed, and I could
only guess at the truth; but it seemed
to me plain that an eagle of some sort
was engaged in driving away a vul-
ture or vultures from the carcass.
This conjecture was verified by B ,
on my return to the camp, for he told
me that while fishing in the lake be-
low he had seen such a conflict raging
round the peak on which i -vas work-
ing. This is the second experience
I have had myself of the antagonism
between vultures and eagles, the first
being in Spain, when I saw a Bon-
elli's eagle strike down a griffon which
had approached it too closely. The
next day the same golden eagle I had
seen before appeared, and was on the
point of advancing to the carcass
when it suddenly flew up, and again I
heard the same conflict. The vultures
had evidently returned and were be-
ing pursued. The noise of the battle
went on for some time, but gradually
died away, as If the eagle had suc-
ceeded in driving off his opponents.
But it never returned, and thus anoth-
er day was absolutely wasted. I had
now spent eight days and had only
photographed the imperial eagle and
some ravens In a bad light. I made
up my mind that when once I had the
chance to photograph this golden
eagle I would shoot It as the only way
to get the vultures, for It was evi-
dently determined not to allow any of
them to feast on what It doubtless con-
sidered its own private property
Luckily, the next day was bright, the
sun shone splendidly and I began op-
erations by doing several ravens In
good positions. Then the eagle ap-
peared, at first only half showing
above the rocks. It soon advanced
further and Bat on the highest part of
the carcass, in a splendid attitude
clearly defined against the sky, and
began to tear at the meat. This time
I set to work at once and exposed
plate after plate as fast as I could get
them Into the camera. Then moving
the camera to one side I slipped a
cartridge into my rifle, which rested
against the rock behind me, and tak-
ing as good an aim as I could in my
cramped and awkward position, I flred,
and the eagle disappeared into space
down the mountainside. I could not,
of course, show myself, or make any
attempt to pick up the eagle; It had
to be left until the Jager should come
up as usual to let me out. In the
meantime the camera was replaced
and got ready for the vultures, which
I made sure would, now that their
enemy was no more, come to their
longdelayed feast on the carrion.
Sure enough, within 20 minutes after
firing the shot, three griffons put in an
appearance. With much hissing and
snoring and other uncouth nolsefe one
of them attempted to monopolize the
body and to drive away its compan-
ions. I took them for male, female
and young bird of the year. But it
was soon too busily engaged to
trouble about the others and they weri
all quickly hard at work. So was I.
Feeding with them were several ra-
vens. quite undismayed by the presence
of their colossal neigh bors and rivals
In business.
Too Many Psople Ar« Interested In
Mistake of Potter.
A curator up at the Metropolitan
museum Is threatened with Insanity,
the cause being a small mlBnamed e*-
hiblt in the gallery outside his office
door.
"Twenty times a day," declared the
harassed man, "people discover that
that china statuette out in the Frank-
lin collection is named Gen. Washing-
ton instead of llenjamln Franklin.
Then they burBt in here and announce
their discovery and wonder that no
one ever noticed it before. Half my
time is spent in explaining that ws
know It well; that it wbb simply a
mistake of the potter who labeled It In
France over a century ago, and that
we cannot change It, nor wouldn't if
we could.
"Of course I tell them this courteous-
ly and patiently, and you know what a
strain that Is when you are going over
the same thing for the thousandth
time! I'd latch the door only there
are too many employes seeking me all
day long; so here I must sit and listen
to the names of Oeorge Washington
and Benjamin Franklin repeated a mil-
lion times, till 1 wish that neither of
thoBe glorious patriots had ever lived.
And it's driving me insane, I tell you,
lt'B driving me insane!"
Just then the door opened and a
lady popped in with:
"There's a statue out here named
Gen. Washington, but I'm sure—"
And the weary curator, being a south*
erner, rose smilingly to his task.—
