New York City.—The comfortable,
yet tasteful morning jacket is essential
to every complete wardrobe and am
ply repays both the trouble of making
MORNING JACKET.
and the cost of material. The really
charming May Mnutou model illus
trated combines many desirable feat
ures, aud is well suited to washable
fabrics as well as to challie, cashmere,
albatross, French and Scotch fiannel
and the like. The original is made
from linen Batiste with trimming of
needle work insertion aud edging, the
fronts being cut away to form the
square neck and the standing collar
omitted. The fronts can be finished
to the neck, as shown in small
sketches, and either gathered or tucked
to yoke depth, the sailor collar being
used or not as preferred.
The backs are simply but correctly
fitted with curved centre and side
back seams, the wide underarm gores
connecting it smoothly with the shape
ly fronts. Each side of the opening
in centre the fronts are laid in small
tucks, which run to yok'» depth and
provide graceful fulness below. The
sailor collar is joined to the back and
rolled over its edge, meeting the out
side tuck, and the trimming is ex
tended to the lower edge, giving a vest
effect to the full fronts. When the
jacket is made high the neck may be
gathered, simply finished with the
standing collar and buttoned down the
fronts. The sleeves may be finished
kvith the trimming in bell shape or
feathered into the straight cuff bands
n bishop style.
To cut this jacket for a woman of
medium size three and a half yards of
material twenty-seven inches wide,
three and a quarter yards thirty-two
inches wide or two aud a half yards
forty-four Incites wide will be re
quired. To trim as represented will
require two and a half yards of Inser
tion one and a half inches wide aud
four yards of edging two Inches wide.
Woman'* Fancy Waist.
The waist with a shawl collar makes
a marked feature of the season's styles
—while tucking in some form is al
most universally used. The very
charming May Manton waist shown in
the large drawing combines the two
in a most attractive manner, and is
singularly well adapted both to entire
costumes and odd waists. The model
Is of white Liberty satin with trim
ming of lace, and is made over the
fltted lining, but white and colored
' Hat isle, organdy mull, Swiss muslin
and all the similar materials offered
us well as soft silks and wool fabrics
Are admirably adapted to the style
when the lining may he omitted.
The lining Is simply *hni>ed with
fronts and hacks, only over It tin:
seamless back of the waist pro|H>r is
arranged with the fulness drawn
down in gathers at the waist line. The
plastron made of Inserted tucking Is
lie wed to the right front lining anil
hooked onto the left, under the edge
of the fronts, which are plain nt the
•boulders aud «"'tbcrcd at the waist
I line. The sliawl collar is tucked in
groups, as indicated, finished and at
tached to the neck and fronts. The
sleeves arc in bishop style with tht
fulness arranged in tucks that fall
free to form puffs at the waists. When
the waist is made unlined the plastorn
is stitched to the right front and
hooked or buttoned over onto the left
beneath the collar. The standing col
lar is joined to the neck of back and
plastron and closes at the left side.
To cut this waist for a -woman of
medium size five and a quarter yards
of material twenty-one inches wide,
five yards twenty-seven inches wide,
three yards thirty-two inches wide or
two and a half yards forty-four inches
wide will be required with three-quar
ter yard in any width for plastron
and stock collar.
Fancy Bolero of Broadtail.
A beautiful example of a gray bolero
in broadtail—the very darkest gray
is worn over a severely plain skirt of
panne of the same shade. The front
shows a waistband of the latter ma
terial decorated with tiny gold braided
buttons and a chemisette of black and
white chiffon crossed with gold and sil
ver braid. The inner sleeves, which
appear from under the bell shaped fur
ones, are of the goffered chiffon in a
tiny band of black panne at the
wrists, adorned with the gold buttons.
To give a ridiculous touch of summer
to this cozy cold-weather costume
there is a large toque composed of four
or five shades of blue tulle and some
wonderful lace, with a gold wrought
dagger stuck in at the side.

bertha arrangements or n species of
broail hood, which is, howev x, pure

collar was at its best, but an ugly ami
awkward accessory, and the new col
lars, although still high, are half
turned over to form a frame for the
neck, instead of holding it like a vise.
Girl** Jacket.
No wise mother permits her children
to be without general utility jackets
that can be worn over any gown. The
attractive little garment shown is en
tirely practical, at the same time that
it is essentially smart, yet is not diffi
cult to make. The original, designed
by .May Mnnton, is made of castor col
ored smooth laced cloth, but mixtures
are admirable and tan is always in
style, while dark blue is always good,
and cheviots as well as cloths are
worn. The backs are made with a
curved seam that renders the tit excel
lent, and is found in all the latest mod
els. The fronts are loose tilting, lap
slightly in double-breasted style to
close with buttons and buttonholes
worked in a fly, or through the fronts
if so preferred. The neck Is finished
with the regulation coat collar ami
lapels that ale formed l>y facing and
rolling back the fronts, and pockets
are inserted with tailor-stitched laps.
The sleeves are bell-shaped at the
wrists and can be slipped on and off
with ease.

Sundown fnltlvatlon Encouraged.
Professor Wiley, chemist of the Ajrri- (
cultural Department, has been making
experiments in raising sunflowers with
a view to the general introduction of
the industry in this country. In Itns
sia tliis plant is cultivated as a staple
crop. There are thousands of tons of
the seed raised in the Ohio valley and
elsewhere every year, hut it is be
lieved that tlie acreage can be in
creased many fold, to advantage. In
Unssiu the sunflower seeds are an arti
cle of diet, iicing eaten either raw or
roasted. The oil is also used liberally
in cooking, being practically equal to
olive oil. It is also useful fo- dressing
wool and for soap and candle making,
etc. The seed makes an excellent food
for poultry and stock, the oil Imparting
a peculiar sleekness to them. Any soil
that will grow corn is suitable for sun
flowers. The average crop is about SUO
to 10(M) pounds to the acre, worth from
SI to $2.73 a hundred weight. When
mills are built to extract the oil the
value of the crop will be increased.
Indiana** Froml Claim.
Indiana is getting to be as famous
as Ohio for being the birthplace of
statesmen. Moses 10. Clapp, the new
Minnesota Senator, comes from Indi
ana. and so does Thomas M. Patter
son. who succeeds Senator Woleott, of
Colorado. Mlier things come from
Indiana, as witness a dialogue iu the
Senate recently recorded.
"I was at 101 Paso some years ago."
said Senator Spooner* of Wisconsin,
"and as 1 stepped from the car and
upon the platform I saw a steel-chilled
plow of the most modern and approved
pattern."
"That was from Indiana," at ouco
remarked Senator Hcvcridge.
"Perhaps it was from Indiana," as
sented Mr. Spooner, "Some good tilings
come from Indiana."
"Including the Senator from Wiscon
sin." said Mr. Beveridge.
"Thanks," replied Senator Spooner.

Finest Clin|>el in tlie Kingdom.
King's College, Cambridge, possesses
the finest and most magnificent chapel
in the United Kingdom. It is tlie lat
est and most sumptuous example of
the perpendicular order of Gothic
architecture, and the chapel dominates
over all the buildings in tlie town and
university. The fretted roof, unsus
tained by a single pillar, is vaulted
into twelve divisions. The center of
each is a pendant keystone, terminat
ing alternately in roses and portcull
ises, each keystone weighing more
than a ton. Over tlie stone roof is the
timber roof. An organ separates be
, tween chapel and ante-cliapel. The
I painted glass is the most remarkable
I that lias been bequeathed to us by the
i age of Henry VII. and Ilenry VIII.,
| and belongs to a time when the art of
| painting had attained its highest ex
; cellence. There are flve-and-twenty
; windows, with more than a hundred
j panes.—Tit-Bits.

Peter's. Formerly the Pontiff offi

gold. He was escorted to his throne
by soldiers of his court, the Noble
Guard lining the way. When the Sa
cred Host was elevated the military
men dropped on their knees and pre
sented arms, and the Nobles drew their
swords. The silver trumpets were
then sounded. After mass there was a
great deal of the same kind of cere
mony, and civic and religious festivi
ties followed. The cardinal arch-priest
now says mass, and the Pope officiates
at a private mass in the consistory

Hospitals In our great cities are sad places to visit.
Three-fourths of the patients lying on those Bnow-white
beds are women and girls.
Why should this be the case P
Because they have neglected themselves.
Every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain at the reft or
right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of
the back. All of these things are indications of an unhealthy
condition of the ovaries or womb.
What a terrifying thought! these poor souls are lying
there on those hospital beds awaiting a fearful operation.
I Do not drag along at home or in your place of employ
ment until you are obliged togo to the hospital and submit to
an examination and possible operation. Build up the female
system, cure the derangements which have signified them
selves by danger signals, and remember that 1/vdia E,
