Two hundred million two cent postage stamps that are reported as worthless by postmasters throughout the country have been called in by the postmaster general and will be destroyed. Although 2O0.- GOO 900 seems to be an enormous number. it is really trifiing compared with the number of stamps used by the American people each year. and would last less than twenty days. It requires about +. 900. 900 a day to conduct the correspondence of oH Population. or a total of f. .Ss0. .0O0. 900 for the year. There is not as much letter country was more prosperous, but a de- cided increase has been noticeable during the last two months.

HIGH TREASON,

tails Of the places at which stores would

even the original documents were sup.

Another story relates that tho disnp.

quently noticed. After diligent searuh
the document would be found in the
precise place from which it had been

Ms. vsaderbalt'. P.rtrsdx...

By the authentic and authoritative
way of an English print the word comes
that when Mrs. Vanderbilt wants to
eat the wing Of a partridge she has ten
birds cooked and served from which to
choose. There are several Mrs. Wander
bilts in this country who might easily
afford this method Of selection, but the
London newspaper does not venture
further than this wholesale statement.
And why only ten birds? It doesn't
take millions to buy ten partridges. A
really good story would be that q par.
fridge with ten wings was offered. -

thus cut is laid over another color which is
seen through the holes, and the result is an
effective color contrast. When the material
is heavy, as velvet or cloth. these patterns
may have the }ge let raw. but in the case
OF a soft material like foulard the edges are
button-holed
There are to be had in the shops some silks

but Jour ornament has become 80 much the
fashion that means have been devised to en-
able the amatelr 10 do 1t at home. Little
stamping machines have been invented fur
nishing great variety Of patterns; they cost
very little and are as easily handled as a pink

Another new idea is 70 cut patterns out Of
lace and applique them on the gown 20 Oil all
sorts Of spaces. Thus rhe velvet tea gown
cited above, which has d triangular lace
figure Cling each corner OF the 'front.' This
