TK)E E?I?TS New York City.?Guimpes of Idee, tucking and similar materials have become as essential to the wardrobe of the grown-up as to that of the woman's guimpe. child. Innumerable blouses require them, and, with their aid, it is possible to make the same bouice high or ' decoillete as required. The excellent May Manton model shown is perfect- ' ly adapted to its purpose, and at the 1 6ame time can be made the foundation for any one of the fashionable waists that close at the back. As ] shown, yoke and sleeves are of batisto , lace, the body portion of nanisock; j but any suitable material can be sub- ( stituted when a guimpe is desired, and , various combinations might be suggested for entire waists. Plisse chif Ton, Wltn guipure appuque iimuuuug a yoke, is chancing. A yoke of tuck- , ing with lower portion of batiste,'and j lace applique between, is exceeding- j ly handsome, and similar suggestions \ might be made by the score. The gulmpe is cut with front and back only, the fitting being accomplished by means of shoulder and un- 1 der-arm seams. The yoking material 1 is faced in, to square or round depth, * as preferred, and the foundation is 1 drawn down in gathers at the waist l line. When a transparent effect is de- 1 eired the material beneath the yoke < can be cut away. The sleeves are of I MISSES' AND GII bishop style and the neck is finished ^ with a regulation stock. 1 To cut this guimpe for a woman of t medium size, two and a half yards of ? material thirty-two inches wide will < bp required, or one and seven-eight i yards of all-over lace eighteen inches s wide, and seven-eight yards thirty-two 1 inches wide, to make as illustrated. ] I Misses' and Girln* Wrapper. < A tasteful wrapper, or lounging , robe, that can be slipped on in her t own room and be worn during the hours of privacy and rest is essential < to the comfort of the growing girl as ( It is to that of her elders. The taste- ( ful garment illustrated in the large , drawing exactly fills the need and is , absolutely simple at the same time i that it is made on graceful lines. The , model designed by May Manton is made from dimity, showing pink spots on a white ground, but all washable materials uie euiuiuie us >ven us ugucweight flannels and flannelette for the cooler days. The fronts are slightly , full at the neck and widen out to form the skirt portion. The back is , full at the neck and drawn in with gathers at the waist line, below which point it falls in graceful folds. . The neck is finished with a deep turn^ over collar and the sleeves are in bishop style. At the waist is a ribbon that is tied slightly toward the left side and holds the fulness in place. To cut this wrapper for a. girl twelve years of age, six yards of material twenty-seven inches wide, four and three-quarter yards thirty-two inches wide, or four and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide, will be required. Xorel Adornment For Cufli. A novel adornment fo.- cuffs and revers of dressy toilets consists in covering tliem with embroidery forming part of Chinese garments. The embroidery is not cut out and appliqued, but pieces of the garment itself where the embroidery shows are cut lnt3 the required shape, and form tlie entire revers. To produce the desired effect contrasting colors are employed, the embroidered designs appearing In various shades on a ground of black, white, dark blue or brick red. A Tucked Tnllf Facing. :A light-weight hat is a joy to the heart. One of these i? a picture shape of fancy black-lace straw, soft enough to be bent to suit the lines of the pro Of fA^HiON- j file. It so happens thai tlie brim is raised in front toward the left side. So over the left temple a bunch of primroses nestles under the brim. The hat is faced all around -with tulle ar- j ranged in tucks. The tucking is graduated so it looks very well. A wide band of blac* velvet ribbon is passed about the crown and tied with a few loops and ends, wired to serve as an upright at the left, where it aasfjs the upturned brim. A Pretty Idea. A pretty idea is shown in a narrow vest of pale-colored clotb. It is pierced with three eyelets on either side as big as a nickel and heavily wrought in silk. Through these openings inchwide ribbon is laced, which holds the front together. The ends are tied and fall over the skirt. Liberty gauze or chiffon scarfs are fastened at one side . . t- flnofr 01' caugilt ai iae naisuiuc auu tivnv on the skirt. The "L'Alclon" Hairpin. "L'Aiglon" pins for tbe hair, which come in different designs, have the pin part double like a hairpin. It is pressed together before being slipped into the catch at the end, and, springing out, the pressure holds i* secure. Reantlfnl French Petticoats. Pretty French petticoats in white have big embroidered flowers splashed upon the* flounce, the centres of both Sowers and leaves with incrustations >f lace, the solid embroidery outlining :hem. Black and White Effects. Black and white effects are quite as Jopiinant as ever In the season's fashons, and certainly nothing can be "niirh mnrp -lseful or annronriate for i greater variety of purposes.

The skirt is cut in five 1 ;ores and is laid in an inverted pleat it the back, an adjustment that means graceful folds at the lower portion and perfect freedom of movement. When desired, the flounce can be emitted and an underfacing, stitched jn. used in its place. The bodice portion fits to a aicety and is cut in becoming curves at the upper edge. The shoulder straps are attached to the 1 back and button over on the fronts, serving to keep the bodice smooth, but if preferred the skirt can be made without the straps, the bodice portion being fitted snugly enough to retain its position.

POPULAR SCIENCE. German chemists have at last produced a synthetic indigo which is rap- f idly aisplaciug the vegetable product * *?

A few drops of any perfumed oil will secure libraries from the consum- . ins effects of moldiness and damp. Russian leather, which is perfumed , with the tar of the birch tree, never molds, and merchants suffer large bales of this article to lie in the London docks in the most careless manner. knowing that it can sustain no injury from damp. "A friend of mine," says a Correspondent of the Sydney (N. S. W.) Bulletin, "noticed near his camp a trap door spider run in front of him and \ pop into its hole, pulling the 'lid' down as it disappeared. The lid seemed so neat and perfect a circle that the man | stooped to examine it. and found, to j his astonishment, that, it was a sixpence. There was nothing but silk , thread covering the top of the coin, but \ underneatth mud and silk thread were ^ coated on and shaped convex (as usu- ' al). The coin had probably been swept < out of the tent with rubbish," says R. \ I. Pocock, commenting on this in Na- ) ture. tl<l. ^ Dr. Sorby, the well-known scientist, , had a wonderful sapphire, by means -i of which he discovered the nature of \ the liquid that is sometimes found < in the cavity of a crystal. The sapphire , had a tube-shaped cavity about a quar- < ter of an inch in length and an elgh- j teeuth of an inch in diameter, partly * filled with liquid. Its form suggested that it might be used as a natural ther- ( mometer, and the doctor found that, j at fifty degrees Fahrenheit, the liquid half-filled the cavity, and completely . filled it at eighty degrees. A study of ( the rate of expansion led him to tho , conclusion that the liquid must be car- , bonic acid. \ c A new antiseptic substance of con' siderable promise was recently de- , scribed at the French Academy. It " has the rather formidable name of mercujy-diphenoldisulphonate of sodi- , um. It is a white amorphous powder, very soluble in water and containing 1 about forty per cent, of mercury. It * has no irritating action on the skin and does not coagulate albumen, but seems nevertheless to retain all of the s antiseptic qualities of its constituents. Solutions of 1-1000 strength (one part e in 1000 parts of water) are strongly c antiseptic, and when the strength is nnli? 1-inflfln hnntorinl o-iwivth 1c mnrlf. S edly retarded. Solutions of 1-2000 strength prevent putrefaction in blood t or bouillon solutions. The fact that ? It does notcoagulate almnminous sub- 1 stances is an important quality, as it is thus possible to use the solution bypodermieally. t Many discoveries of interest werfc ] made during the survey of the bed of c the Pacific by the Nero, a vessel be- t loDging to the United States Navy. The j object of the survey was to locate a ( route for a cable, and a map was made i of the - ocean bed from California to < Japan. The discovery that will attract ? the most attention, perhaps, is the j greatest known ocean depth?fifty-two c hundred and sixty-nine fathoms, near- % ly six-miles. This was found a short j distance east of the island of Guam. ^ All the way from Hawaii to the Mid- p way Islands the soundings showed c that the bottom is a level plain of soft ; mud, at an average depth of twenty- ; seven hundred fathoms. Between the Midway Islands and Guam is another level plain, broken here and there by low mountain ranges, and between a Guam and Yokohama is a great peak c that rises almost to the surface. t f Defends Newspaper Heading. In his attitude toward the daily presB !, Lord Kelvin presents a curious con- ^ trast to Bishop Creighton, whose ignorance of journalism has been re- ? ferred to in this column. To an inter- j viewer who asked him whether he read a great deal Lord Kelvin a little t while ago made the rather startling reply that he had not read a book for ? thirty years. "I read nothing but the j daily papers. Well, perhaps that is an overstatement; it may not be thirty years, but it is a long time. Of course, I am continually referring to books, but I have not the time for steady reading; except the daily papers, and I feel especially bound in crises of our history to study the course of events." Compare this with Mr. Balfour's statement: "I never read the papers!" ?London Chronicle. TeRtlng Fireproof Stairs For Flata< In Frankfort, Germany, official tests have been made of fireproof stairs for apartment houses. Fires fed with a material which gave forth an intense heat were built in the yard of one of the fire department houses, and over these tires the stairs were placed. The longest resistance was shown by the stairs which had a covering of plaster, and it was found that they could be used twenty-five minutes after the fire was started. The stairs covered with fireproof paint were made of so many different materials and of such varying strength that no definite results could be arrived at, but they were serviceable after five or ten minutes in the heat. Of the stairs of wood and not covered with fireproof paint, thos-'e of cak withstood the lire the longest. Ct'uslicdi The other day an old woman bonncen into a city office with a notification that had been sent to her to the effect that a quarter's rates on some propert of hers were due. She asserted she had paid them. A clerk got out the books to prove that she had not. and suggested that she had made a mistake. She still declared, however, that she had paid. "Don't you ever make mistakes?" she inquired. The clerk assured her that he did not. and jokingly added: "The only mistake I ever made "was when I got married.'' She looked at him a moment and then said: ' "No: your wife made that mistake." ?London Spare Moments. 1 \4 # The niplomat's .Solution.
