ATTRACTIVE NEGLIGEE OF DELICATE SHADE
OF ROSE IS SIMPLE IN DESIGN, EASY TO MAKE
Cut Is Kimono Shape, but Lines Are Generous and Night Dress Pattern Could Be Used as Guide Another
Design Is of Paie Green Taffeta With Short Sleeves.
BY CLOT1LDE.
AN attractive negligee made of a
delicate cade of rose in crepe
de chine was seen recently, and
it is so simple in design that any one
who sews much could easily duplicate
it. It was cut kimono shape, but on
generous lines. A kimono night dress
pattern would be good to follow, and
from the underarm part to tho bottom
he line should bs straight. A 6-inch
hem finished it at ths bottom, and
this was joined to the garment by
fagottlng. Then there was a line of
fagotting part way up the skirt and
a line of fagotting joined the top
part to the skirt. It Is clearly pic
tured here.
The neck is cut round and is fin

tioned at the front door the first
morning to direct the new pupils to
the auditorium. Then, for the next
two or three days they will be sta
tioned in the halls between periods to
be of assistance to the freshmen.
The seniors decided at a recent
meeting that Instead of an expensive,
formal senior "prom," they would
have a skating party at the Oaks.
The members and honorary members
met at 7:15 last Wednesday evening
and all went out to the rink on the
same car. Old clothes seemed to pre
dominate in the costumes and all had
a hilarious time.

A week ago last Thursday the mem
bers of the Girls' league elected offi
cers for next term. The president of
the league was chosen from the
eighth-term girls, the vice-president
from the seventh-term, and the sec
retary - treasurer from the sixth
term. Those elected were: President,
Hortense Bleker; vice-president. Fern
Allen; secretary-treasurer, Camilla
Burton.
The Girls' league has grown a great
deal this last term, both in the work
the girls have done and In the posi
tion it holds in the school's activities.
Practically, all of the school's social
service work has been done through
the league and plans have been made
to carry this work still farther In the
future.
The class CardiinaJ was In the hands
of the pupils last Friday morning.
Ths Cardinal was the best class Issue
that Lincoln has ever seen. The cover
of the book was hJnged like a regular
leather book cover and had a very
pretty, original design. One front
page was left absolutely blank for
autographs and original headings
were used for each page.
The pictures of Mr. Davis and of
the members of the class were in
formal snapshots taken in and around
school. In many other ways this
at the waist line. Black, blue or any
color would? make up prettily by this
design.
Another negligee or breakfast coat
is made of pale green taffeta, open
down the front and having kimono
sleeves short, of course. Down each
front the finish was a pink taffeta
binding and around the scalloped
bottom the binding was used also.
Around the bottom, above the scal
lops, were two gathered1 lace frills,
made of edging 4 or 5 inches wide,
and above these on the fronts were
lovely bowknots made of the bias
folds, with tiny flowers nestling in
the center of the knots.
The 'neck was finished with a lace
frill held In place by a fold or bind
ing so this finish is really continu
ous entirely around the coat. Rib
bons are used to- Us together down
ths front. ,

for a bride, or be an enviable addi

mules could be bought the same color
as the coat and trimmed with bow

and if one wanted to have nothing
forgotten, one of these fascinating
bands for the hair made of gold lace
and. ribbon, or any combination one
might choose, could bs added.
Fine materials and good workman

garments, and they will not look well

Drake returned to Plymouth, his
home city and starting point, in
September of 1580, just 40 years to
the month before the pilgrim fathers
sailed from there, and five years
before Sir Walter Raleigh's first
body of settlers put out.
Drake was a fighting Puritan,
leading the British fleet later in the
crucial hours against the Spanish
armada, and this first American
church service in the English tongue
was directed by the Puritan chaplain
to the expedition.
After a terrific struggle to get
around the end of South America.
Drake had plundered the Spaniards
up the west coast unaware of danger,
and continuing north had passed
shores yet unknown to Spain. Turned
back by the cold as he began to
approach Canada, he put Into a small
creek or bay on the northern side of
the Golden Gate before striking out
across the uncharted Pacific.
It was on June 17, 1579, that Drake
anchored off the California coast.
He landed his men on the 21st, and
on the 23d, after the friendly In
dians had lacerated themselves to pay
the white ' man homage, Francis
Fletcher, the chaplain, records:
"This bloudle sacrifice (against our
wils) being thus performed, our
Generall, with his companie, in the
presence of those strangers, fell to
prayers; and by signes In lifting up
our eyes and hands to heaven, signi
fied unto them that that God whom
we did serue, and whom they ought
to worship, was about; beseeching
God, if it were His good pleasure, to
open by some meanes their blinded
eyes, that they might in due time be

City Physician Tells How to Strengthen Eyesight as Much as 50 in a
Week's Time in Many Cases by a Simple Home Treatment.
Dr. Judklns, former Chief of Clinics
at the Union Geiieral Hospital, Bos
ton, Mass., and House Surgeon at the
New England Eye and Ear Infirmary,
says: "I have found oculists too prone
to operate and opticians too willing
to prescribe glasses, while neglecting
the simple formulas which form the
basis of the Bon-Opto home treat
ment for the eyes. I am thoroughly
convinced from my own experience
with Bon-Opto that it will strengthen
eyesight at least 60 per cent in- one
week's time in many Instances." Dr.
Judkins' statement will bring hope
to thousands of victims of eye-strain
and other eye-weaknesses, as well as
to many who wear glasses because of
weak eyes and defective viBlon. Many
whose eyes were failing report re
markable results from the use of
Bon-Opto. , ,. .
One man says: "I was almost blind
could not see to read at all. Now I
can read everything without glasses
and my eyes do not hurt any more.
At night they would pain dreadfully;
now they feel fine all the time. It
was like a miracle to me."
A lady who used Bon-Opto says:
"The atmosphere seemed hazy with
or without glasses, but after using
Bon-Opto for fifteen days everything
seems clear. I can read fine print
without glasses." Another who used
it says: "I was bothered with eye
strain caused by over-worked, tired
eyes, which caused violent headaches.
I have worn glasses for several years
both for distance and close work and
without them I could not read my
own name on an envelope, or the
typewriting on the machine before
me. I can do bn'h now ani hnve dl-

8ca Monster Legends Traced.
New York Evening Post.
For many centuries Norway has had
its legends telling frightful deeds of
the kraken, a great and mysterious
marine creature, that was a danger to
sailors on the high seas. Now scien
tists have found that the localities in
which these folk tales flourish are
the habitat of giant squibs or "cuttle
fish," of the genus Archlteuthus, that
have frequently been cast up upon
sea beaches. According to Dr. James
Richie of the Royal Scottish museum
the largest of these on record had
tentacles with a span close to 30 feet.
It was 9 feet 9 Inches from the tip
of its tail to the tip of its short
srms. but its tentacular arms were
each 14 feet long.
