New and Dainty Tea Cloths.

Sprays of the hop vine with punches
of hops are embroidered on white linen
tea cloths and center pieces. The leaves
are in deep, long and short stitch, the
tendrils of the vine in stem stitch, and
the hops are in solid raised work. Tho
California poppy, in its brilliant shaded
OF yellow orange, was noticed on CEN
ter piece, and also on q small table cover
seen at recent exhibition of art needle
work. The center piece had the edge
in wide leaflike scallops, button-holed
with white silk. The peoples were laid
around the cloth with their stems to-
ward the edge and the flowers toward
the center. The spread decorated with
the poppies was of gray linen.

soft purplish shadow found in a clover.
Use yellow brown, dark green, black

dark green and black in painting them.

GLASS MILLINERY.

Turned Out In Large Quantities by veDe-
tian Manufacturer.
Articles of dress are now being ex-
tensively made of glass. A Venetian
manufacturer is turning out bonnets by
the thousand, the glass cloth of which
they are composed having the same
simmer and brilliancy of color as silk,
and, what is q great advantage, being
impervious to water. In Russia there
has for n long time existed tissue man.
ufactured from the fiber of a peculiar
tilamentous stone from the Siberian
mines, which by some secret process is
shredded and spun into fabric which,
although soft to the touch and pliable
in the extreme, is of SO durable a nature
that it never wears out. This is prob
nbly what has given an enterprising
firm the idea of producing spun-glass
dress lengths.
The Muscovite stuff is thrown into the
fire when dirty, like asbestos, by which
it is made absolutely clean again; but
the spun-glass is simply brushed with
hard brush and soap and water, and
is none the worse for being either
stained or soiled. The material is to
be had in white, green, lilac, pink and
yellow, and bids fair to become very
fashionable for evening dresses. An
Austrian is the inventor of this novel
fabric, which is rather costly. Table
cloths, napkins and window curtains are
also made of it. 1t has also been discov-
cred that glass is capable of being
turned into fine cloth which can be
worn next to the skin without the
slightest Observation-Disclosures Jour-

THE USEFUL HAT.PiN.

Women Employ 1t Is q Weapon of OF
Tense and Defense.
1.-THE idea of making the hat pin a
weapon of defense first dawned upon
me when I was in the east" says q
bright-eyed dame, who is always
watching for a chance to exploit Cali
fornia, climate, morals and all.
"Of course, you oil know that a wom-
an can't 60 about alone with any de-
gree of comfort when she gets away
from western chivalry. Well, as
wanted to study art in New York while
1 visited my brother in Newark, was
obliged TO use the suburban trains al
most every day. 1 had bookful of
unpleasant experiences before learned
the magic power of that simple little
hat-pin.
FINALLY a man who was packed be-
side me in a car became simply unen-
durable. squeezed myself meekly up
against The window, giving mine enemy
three-fourths of the seat. Gazing out
into the darkness became positively
depressed and felt like offering an
apology to somebody for presuming to
cumber the earth.

encroaching still further upon my ter

up and l drew my hat-pin. said not
word and did nothing to attract at

glad to vacate my full share of that
seat, and perhaps little more. held
my weapon in position which indi-
Gated to him the boundary line, and I
assure you that he understood the in
situation and left me in peace. Ever
since that day have been as indie
pendent and self-respecting as Span

This fiery little anecdote, told over
the teacups, was followed by perfect
chorus Of stories Of the uses Of the hat
pin. The picking Of locks, the Office of
can-opener, paper-cutter, insect-de-
stroyer, these were among the lesser
things. A tale of the repairing Of q
broken harness at critical juncture

Cold Water Baths for the Feet.

A distinguished medical authority
says 1.-THE best way to guard the feet
against the effects of cold or of getting
them wet is to battle them every morn
ing in cold water. The first morning
they cannot be kept in water longer
than two or three seconds, after which
they must be rubbed vigorously, to re-
store the circulation. A rough crash
towel is the best thing to use. Each
morning increase the time that the fee,
can be held In water until they can be
bathed for fifteen minutes without any
discomfort"

The whole trouble arose through
Switzerland not having a proper Ian
guage of it's own, that hilly country pre-
ferring to express what few thoughts
it has in mixture of French, German
and Italian, depending on what particu-
lar canton you happen to be in. They
say that the Swiss are natural lin

combination Of sounds you may make,
means something to any Swiss to whom
you happen to be talking, for he knows
so many Languages that you are sure to

Under these circumstances l thought
it would be a nice thing, as the roads
were good and the scenery picturesque,
to take bicycle tour right around
Lake Thun, beginning at the town
which gives the lake its name, and 60

The hotel keeper told me that if l

on another street, turned to the left
and kept on, would come to the shop
faman who would let me have n bicycle

lowed the directions as closely as pos
sible, and thought recognized the shop
because a bicycle was leaning against
the wall. The owner was leaning
against the doorway, looking at the
bicycle outside. The following CONVEX
sation in many languages took place
between us:
"Haben sic un bicyclette louer?"
opened out on him with the above i'm
partial mixture of German and French.
1t seems he understood me to ask if
that was his bicycle, whereupon he
replied in four languages:
"Yaw, yaw, oui, yes. Sc"
Then, throwing in a bit of Italian, I led
off with:
"Quanta costa la machine a la hoor,

Now l submit that to any educated
person, or even to q university man,

The owner of the bicycle on oath de-

much the bicycle had cost him. He
says he answered that he paid 500 francs
for that brute of machine, made in
France, while understood him to agree
to lot me have it for five francs day,
which was cheap. Twas in hurry to be
off, and was afraid he might repent his
offer, SO I said it was all right and
would take it. whereupon, without

Rulings Relating to Return to This

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Attorney-
General Harmon has rendered two opin-

the return of Chinese to this country.
In the case of Chinese laborers, he holds
that if they do not return within a
year they must produce certificates
from the Chinese Consul at the port Of
departure from the United States that
their delay in returning was beyond
their control. This case arose from
Burlington, VT.
In the case Of Chinese merchants, the
second decision holds that they may
present a certificate from the Chinese
Government, or from the Government
in which they last resided, showing
their right to re-enter the United States.
