1"-e Jumper Waists Hare Come to
Stay A Ttandanna Effect A
Shirtwaist that is Xeat and Prtt
tj A Pretty Idea in the Trimming
or liittle Girls' Dresses.
BY JULES THEROW.
That the "Jumper" waists and
dresses have come to stay is evident
from a glance at this season's most
fashionable garments. The ease
with which the home dressmaker
can make a really attractive costume
by using this style of waist has nev
er been equalled by any previous
mode.
The one Illustrated here is a
"one piece" waist made of bordered
voile, the edge coming on the edge
of the sleeves. A box pleat Is made
In the back to take up the unneces
sary fullness and the garment Is
slipped on over the head. A bow tie
Is made of the same material as the
waist and fastened to the front, at
the top. The guimpe worn with this
Jumper has the new high linen col
lar with the wide frill of plain net
around the top.
For neatness and smartness of
tllne the waist like the one pic-
ed here can hardly be Improved
' on. The material Is white linen
:h hand embroidered collar and
Its. The wreath design being used
i d worked out in delft blue.
At each side of the box pleat In
front where the garment closed, are
two tucks turning toward the front
and near the shoulders are two more
turning In the opposite direction,
giving the effect of wide box pleats.
The back Is tucked In the same way,
the tucks on the shoulders meeting
those on the front and the other
two turning toward each other and
meeting at the center of the back.
When the waist Is put on the fU
iioes. at the back Is pushed under
the shoulder tucks which leave the
back perfectly smooth between the
tucks. The cuffs are the new wide
kind turned back over a broad sleeve
band and having buttonholes through
both band and cuff. Worn with this
is a delft blue bow and a whit gir
dle fastened by a gold enamelled
square buckle.
The use of several differently fig
ured materials In the same garment
extends to children's clothe as well
as those of older people and opens
the way to innumerable pretty ef-
rects.
Stripes and checks, polka dots anc
plaids, and even flowered goods com
ROW
blned with stripes or checks are a!
rpon and with rare In selection can
be made Into very attractive frocks.
A pretty idea Is shown In the trim
ming of the little girls' dress Illus
trated here. The dress Itself Is slnr
ply made of printed challls. The I
CRure being a blue ring on a white
(riound. Two forward turning tvrks
extend over the shoulders stitched
v.Itn blue silk and ornamented with
but 0n-moulda, covered with blue
r.nd white checked silk. The silk Is
i:sod also for bands around the neck,
rleeve caps, and lower edge of the
fklit. This would also be pretty
inarlo of dark blue and white striped
flannel and trimmed with a bright
pin Id ribbon about an Inch and a
quarter wide.
Economy in Irets.
There are three dangerous rocks
In the beginning of a season which
a woman who must practice econ
omy is likely to founder; the first,
cheap novelties; the second, adver
tised bargains which are sold cheap
berause discriminating buyers will
not pay for wearing apparel a sea
son old; and, third, hasty buying of
the very new In fabrics, color or
shape. New shades of standard
colors are especially dangerous un
less the person selecting them Is
a prophet. Not very many aro, and
even astute tailors go slowly in pur
chasing until this or that dress or
color has "made good."
Never buy a tailor suit of last
year's cut, because it is cheap, and
because you think it can be recut
ct home and brought up-to-date.
In 19 cases out of 20 this cannot
bo clone. If It were possible tailors
with their workrooms full of people
tt th"ir disposal would themselves
r,.i'.'.;o changes and reap the benefit.
When such garments are worked
ovr at home they usually end In
a home-made, nppearance, and, all
counted, will cost more than a now
season's gown.
Some I'ses of Hot Water.
Hot water is far more of a medici
nal property than' many believe or
know. The uses of hot water aro
many. There is nothing that so
promptly cuts short congestion of
the lungs, sore throat or rheuma
tism as hot water when applied
promptly and thoroughly. Head
ache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot wate
to the feet and back of the neck. A
strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water,
wrung out and then applied-, round
the neck of a child that has the
croup, will bring relief sometimes In
ten minutes. Hot water taken free
ly half an hour before bedtime Is
helpful in the case of constipation,
while it has a most soothlne effect
upon the stomach and bowels. A
goblet of hot water taken Just after
rising, before breakfast, had cured
many of indigestion, and is widely
recommended by physicians to dys
peptics. The Much-Used Kitchen Table.
My zinc covered kitchen table is
such a convenience to me that T want
to describe it for the benefit of other
workers. It is bo simple that any
one can duplicate It at small ex
pense.
Take any ordinary table and care
fully cover the surface with sheet
sine, being careful to smoothly ad
just the edges. These should be
turned under and securely tacked

LILITH WIFE OF ADAM
Legend Says She Still Haunts
Night p.s a Spectre.
WHY SHE HAD LEFT FA3ACISE.
According to the Taliiiiirilt I'.vo was
the First Man's Second Helpmate
Fable Invented to Reconcile
Geneela I. with Ucne.U II.
The Talmudlsts say that Adam had
a wife before Eve, whose name was
LHis or Lilith. Refusing to submit
to Adam, she left Paradise for a re
gion of the air. She still haunts
the night as a spectre, and is esoucl
ally hostile to newborn Infants. The
table or Lilith was Invented to rccon
cile Genesis I. with Genesis II. Gene
sis I. represents the simultaneous
creation of man and woman out of
the earth, but Genesis II. represents
that Adam was alone and Eve was
made out of a rib and was given to
Adam as a helpmeet for him. Of
the three Assyrian demons, l.llu.
LDlt and Ardat Lilit, the second Is
referred to in Isaiah x.xxlv, 14. She
Is said to have been worshipped by
the Jewish exiles as a goddess of

Adam procreated all the spirits while
he was under a spell. Similarly, Eve
bore demons to male spirits for the
space of 130 years. Lilith is a se
ductive woman with long hair; she
is the Queen of Zemargad; Abrlman
Is her son. She goeB about at night,

ment . . from "lllin." The me

remedy against disease. King Solo
mon, who commanded all spirits, had

Some identify "Lilith" with the
Parses Bushyantsa, while the Arabic
translators render the word in Isaiah
xxxix, 14, by "ghul." which Is identl
cal with the "lamia" of the Vulgate.
In the Talmud, however, thero u
nothing to Indicate that "Lilith" Is
a vampire. The Arabians, on the
contrary, re said to regard her un
der the form of "Lalla," as a "holy
aame. "
In the later Middle Ages the mys
tics systematically amplified demono-
t . . ...
iogy on tne oasis or the traditions
and the current Eupropean supersti
tions, and they also assigned a more
aennite form to "Lilith." The suner
stitlons regarding her and her ne
farious doings were, with other sun-
erstltlons, disseminated more and
more among the mass of the Jewish
people. She becomes a nocturnal
Bplrit, flying about in the form of a
night owl and stealing children. She
Is permitted to kill all children
which have been sinfully begotten,
even rrom a lawful wife. "Lilith"
likewise appears to men in their
dreams; she Is the bride of Samaei.
It is said in a Judaeo-German book
("Hamhagat ha-Hasidim"), publish
ed in tne Deglnning of the eighteenth
century, that "Lilith" deceives men
and has children by them, and lne.int
mortality is regarded as a conse
quence of this miscegenation. In a
certain legend she aDDears as the
Queen of Sheba, who in the euIho of
a beautiful woman seduced a poor
Jew of Worms. As she was eaer to
seize new born infants, mothers and
child were provided with amulet3
corns, with labels on which the
names of Adam and Eve were In
scribed, with the words, "Avaunt
thee Lilith!" which since earlv
times were regarded as an efficient
protection against magic and
demons. The name "Lilith" occurs
also in non-Jewish superstitions
The conception that she was Adam's
wire appears to have spread through
Buxtorf's "Lexicon Talmudicum,"
where the subject is dealt with.
Lilith is a clear Instance of the
persistence of popular superstitious
neueia.
