' - The form should be bought two inches smeller than the bust measure.: if the bust measures thirty-six inchee,' buy a thirty-foer form, thus giving leeway for variation from average measurements.

A fitted waist pattern with side, front and backseams, with the pietas corning well dawn oyer the hips, should 'be used. Baste the seams secarely, fit, with seams turned to. warns the wearer, or fit with seame out and then turn and try on again 'for any charges needed. Few persons are just alike on both sides The lining should be very tightly fitted from neck well down over the hips. It ahould be sewed up the centre of the front and left open down the centre of the back. A tight -fitting collar ehould be sewed to the neck. Fit all seems carefully, trine to about a helf-inch wide, and notch on curves to allow stretching. Try on again to be sure the At is right. Mark the waist line, the line for fastening in baek and a 1iie for the 'armhole, later stitching with colored thread for a permanent marking. • When the lining is ready, slip.it on the form, noting the points, where the forth does not fill it out. Pad out the form where it fails to fit the lining, making it fit snugly. Cotton batting may be used satisfactorily for pad- ding, and when this is Completed, baste or carefully pin the lining in the beck, and the form is ready for nee. One complete eleeve may be made, fitted and theirstuffed with the cottoe, and enclosed at top and bottom with a circle of the muslin. When it is de- sired to fit a , sleeve, this arm may be pinned into place on the form, after which it can be removed and out of the way when not in use. This sleeve form is especially ueefUl in fitting a coat sleeve. If thaaa are two ira more women in the family, lining may be made for each, and providing there is not too great a difference in size, the form may be used for all, though the pad- ding will probably have to be changed. The woman who has had many dis- couraging hours trying to make her dresses look well, onee she has used a form, will never try to sew again with- out one. When An Atom is Born. The birth of an atom is just as im- portant au event as the With of a world,"if not more so, for everything in the universe is composed of atoms, even the world's thaniseltee. Not long ago, atom were thought to be immut- able and unchanging, but the amazing truth liass just been disclosed that new atoms are born averyminitte, just aE among the faraway stars new worlds are being tern. Already aortae kinds et_ atoms can he produced In the laboratota, and such a business would become ism mutely popular if -gold and silver could be created in the same way. This Is riot an idle dream, as might be thought, for already it hes. been dis- covered that all atoms ,are composed • of the same kind. of material—posi- tively electrified particles and minute negative electric cbaeges. All that re- mains is to learn hew 'to Pat these quantities together In the proper • entente, and atoms will be artideced synthetically, just as chemists non • put the proper atoms together alai producethough .ofttimes under un-, commercial conditions -a -synthetic eub. ber, silk, steel, artificial dyes and the, many other miracles 'of the laboratory. To uaderstand how certain atoms have already- been produced, it is timer:nary to remember that there are about ninety different kinds (damns, corresponding to the elements in which all other substances ars made, and that all atoms contain equal amounts of positive, and negative electricity. Just as solar systems con - sit of planets revolving about a cen- tral sun and are held together by the force of gravitation, so do atoms con- sist of negative electrical charges, re- volving around a central, positively charged nucleus, held together by the forces of electrical attraction. 4 - Eel 'Del ivere Electric Shock.

"Yee just arrived in time.' • • "So it seems," smilingly replied the other, as ile surveyed Harold's condi- tion, The two lads belonged to the college oeteale the town, and had, with a number of others, broken bounds to see a dram which tad stepped' for a day in a large field on the Outskirts of the town. Harold, on his way back, had run into some half-dozen town boys, and the latter, eyer ready on account of a long-standing fruelbetween the college boys and the town boas to attack a Colleger if ho was alone, seized the opportunity. • • "Let's go to Mother Medford's on the way artek, and get something for your eye," suggested Jack Lincohs; and, on the other assenting, the two lads linked arms and set off towards the school tilek-shola * * "I'll do it! By George, I will! Un- less Jack-.--"- • • The speaker broke off with a frown, f121, springing up from the rustic seat he occupied by himself, he walked quickly across the lawn towards the house. If; was Harold Jeanes' who spoke, now a lieutenant in the Army, for ten years bad elapsed, since the schoolboy fight had .cemented a friendship be- tween the two lads. They both held commissions in an infantry regiment, and the dance now being held in Col- onel James' fine old house was a.fare- well one to them, for' they sailed with their regiment for India very shortly. Harold was in love with leis father's ward, Vera Stanhope, and he hoped to be ai:gaged to her before he left Eng - On entering the house he was about to seek out Vera, when Jack talking to a group of friends. Directly Jack saw him he came to- wards him, and drew him ,into an alcove hidden from the rest of the g'iiests, , lily, Old man," he began quietly, "I have something to tell you." He paused. Harold had gene suddenly white. "Vera has promised to marry me on my first leave." Harold, his face white and drawn, stared for a moment at his friend, then the blood rushed into his _face. He seemed ,about to speak, but, sud- denly changing his mind, turned about and walked away. So it had come at last. He'had some- how expected it, by the way Jack and Vera had acted towards each other, but this did not deaden the shock, for he had, as everybody does in like cir- cumstances, hoped his surmises were wrong, though in his inner heart he knew it was a ram hope. He sat in a corker hidden by the palms, brooding over this trouble. Never had, the ties of friendship with Jack been so strained. Little did he know, as he thought thus, 01 the far greater test his friendship with the other would eau - go a few months later. After he had seen the guests depart, he went straight to his room, but by this time his better nature had won. His friendship with Jack was still strong and true. A week later the big transport slow- ly steamed from the port, and a white, fluttering handkerchief marked the spot where Vora stood gazing earnest- ly at the fast vanishing steamer. The voyage was uneventful, and the regiment landed and took possession of their barracks. . . A few months later Jack. Lincoln hurried into the roomlle shared with Harold. "flay° you heard the news, Har- old?" he asked. Then, as the other shook his heal, he went on: "We. are to be sent up country to strengthen the Afghan frontier guard, The feared rising has 'taken place. Now, please the gds, we may see active service!" And he polished his sword -hilt with his sleeve. Four days after reaching their new post news came through that an Eng- lishman had been killed by the turbu- lent tribesmen while attempting to reach the British troops. A punitive. expedition was quickly organized, and the two friends'yolunteerd. • • The 'little' force 'teditea rapidly into the hille, defeating with ease the small Afghan bands met with; but 11S 'they advanced the opposition put up be- camemuch stronger, and after fight- ing gallantly the Britith force was brought to a etencIstill, Colenel`Diew, lA,L0 *RS. in commaild, decided on a ',temporary vetreat, and Lieut. Jack Lincoln was included in the reriegeard force. The Afghans, triumphant at the supposed defeat, of the latitith, swarm- ejeouncl the little band, now dashing tas to serried ranks and forcing their way in by sheer nimbus, now pleas- ing on the heights and sending boul- ders crashing dawn inte the fast dim- inishing force. As loon as the British debauched into a less hilly piece of country the Afghans drew off, and Colonel Drew had a breastwork of, boulders Vat, ana, after sending off a messenger for reitiforcements, Prepared to hold out as Ingot possible.

Yes, he would do it for friendship's sake. Thrusting bis black thoughts into the baekaround ag unworthy of him, he approached his mainlander. "I request formal permission to at- to/apt the rescue of Lieutenant Line coli, sill?' he asked, saluting. - "Rescue Lincoln? Impossible!" cried the colonel, rhe other officerechoed his words, but Harold, insisted, and at last the senior officer reluctantly consented. Creeping from boulder to boulder, down gullies and over rises, the office slowly drew near the enemy force. Hie eye searched every Melt of the ground and every khaki tunic of the (Nal for a "Sam Browne," but for a long time he was unsuccessful. Just as he saw a. small portion of a sword -belt among a heap of sladn of both sides, he heard the Afghans advancing. "At last!" he sighed,. And, throw- ing all caution to the winds, he sprang up, and, quickly teaching the spot, soda saw that it saltily was Jack, bad- ly wounded. Seizing the wounded officer firmly round the waist, he gently laid him over his shoulder. The Afghans shouted angrily when they saw what he did, and a number of thern set off to overtake the daring Englishman. As Harold staggeeed off towards the British position, shots rang out, and a sudden stab of pain in his side told him he was hit. Still he went on, at the same time shifting his friend's body in front .of him to protect it froin the bullets now whistl- ing past him and striking the rocks around him. The shots maidenly ceased, and a huge tribesman sprang forward draw- ing his sharp, curved sword. The Bri- tish meld now see what was happen - fag, and they watched breathlessly as the Afghan slowly drew near -Harold. Then, as if on impulse, a number of them sprang over the terrier and ma towards bins, the foremost at- tempting to intercept the fanatic. A few seconds of running showed they would be too late, so they stop- ped and opened fire, but apparently in their excitement they aimed badly, for the Afghan reached Harold, who dropped his burden and turned to face him, drawing his revolver as he did so, Before he could use it, however, he fell pierced by his opponent's sword.. With a triumphant shout the moun- taineer turned to kill Jack, but by now the British aim had improved, and be suddenly fell dead across Jack's body. An hour later jack lay by his friend's side, and, bending over him, be heard him murmur: "Good-bye, Jack! Look after Vera! Another soul had set out on its journey to the Great Beyond. * "Look, Jack dem!" said Vera softly, touching her husband's arna as she passed to Jack Lincoln, now on sick leave in England, a copy of the morn- ing paper. The paragraph she pointed out read: "The Victoria Cross has been post- humously awarded to the late Lieut. Harold James, who was killed while gallantly -rescuing a wounded brother officer under lire in the late Afghan eisixag." Tea, Please. Tea has been called "drugged water,". and as -brewed and drunk by many the description is quite correct. The drug is caffeine; which makes a cup of tea so s.timulating and re- freshing, and—this for the comfort of tea drinkers—it is quite harmless, and very usetul if noteaken to excees. People, on the other hand, who are continually drinking tea, and there- fore absorbing too much caffeine, get into the same physical state as im- moderate consumers of alcohol. They "crave" for their tea, exactly as others crave for alcohol• , Deprived of it, they get an unbear- able headache, which vanishes at once when they "caffeine" their system again. The penalty of their Immodera- tion is palpitates', breathlessness, ner- vousness; headache, indigestion, neur- algia, and physical and mental depres- sion.
