New sensational rumors concerning
the will Of Mrs. Katherine Lee Living
StOn YOumans have been current dur
ing the past few days. The report was
to the effect that a will has been
found. This caused fresh trouble, as
the surrogate had given his decision
as to the heirs. AS it pretty well
known to readers of the Budget, Mrs
Youmans died about two years ago,
and was buried at Sandy Hill, Wash
ingtOn county. She was a woman Of
much prominence, and her heirs,
knowing her to have been wealthy,
had radiant visions of large requests
But no will was found. Everything
about Mrs. YOuman's house was
searched; even the furniture was taken
apart. But no will was found. The
matter went into the courts, OF course
who could resist ST, 200, O00?-and
was there vigorously fought. The sur
rOgate finally gave a decision and the
matter was thought to be at an end
All at once a personal appears in New
York paper intimating that Mis-. You
mans will has been found, and that
several persons names who were Civ
en- as legatees would hear something
to their advantage by communicating
with the advertiser. A day or two
later the personal was denounced as
lacking fact for it's basis. And thus
the matter hangs.-TrOy Budget.

European journals announce that
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has
conferred the Order of the Golden
Fleece upon Count GoluchOwski, his
Minister of Foreign Affairs. This ac-
ton has caused much surprise, mas
much as this highest Of all orders is
seldom conferred even Count Andrassy
having received it only after having
added Bosnia and the Herzegovina to
the realm. Count GOluchOwski has
been in Office little over year, and his
successes are not so easily recognized
as those of Andrassy were. The Order
of the Golden Fleece was founded in
1929 by Philip the Good, Duke of Bur
gundy, and with the Emperor Charles
the office of Grand Master came to the
Kings of Spain. The Emperor Charles,
after the end of the Wars of Succession,
maintained that the function must re-
main his own, but the Kings of Spain
went on comforting the order.

ed in plait stitch in two shades of red
washing floselle. This stitch is worked
by bringing up your needle little be-
low the tip of q petal and putting it in
just at the tip. Bring your needle out
again at the side. of the stitch where it
began and put it-in at the top in such a
manner that the silk crosses in the CEN
ter. To do this easily and we'll you
should trace line down the petal and
work alternately from right to left and
vice versa. Always bring your needle
out little at the side of the middle
line and at the right of it if the stitch
is to go to the left and vice versa. Keep
your silk over your needle and work
your stitches SO closely that no spaces
are seen between. A line of stem stitch
or crewel stitch, which every one knows,
Is made round each petal IN contrast
ing shade of the red. In the middle are
French knots, which are worked thus:
Hold your working thread down with
your thumb close to the place where you
first brought it out. Twist il three times
round your needle. Turn your needle
round from left to right and pass it
through the stuff close to where the
working thread came out from; then
push your needle through and bring it
out where the next stitch is intended to
be. A cluster of these knots forms the
center. The darned background is easily
done. There are small threads at regu-
lar intervals in the weaving which are
to be taken up on the needle. Use a
darning needle, and if you are darning
in floselle about three threads are
enough. This example is darned ia a
darker shade of red. Always select the
best quality of huckaback for this work.

HARD MEASURES IN MUSIC
Two Ways by Which These Passages May
Be Successfully Conquered.


To make "studies'' of difficult meas-
ures in "a composition is as of much val
ne as ''etudes" i'll general. We need not
have such long list Of ''etudes" if we
seek inside each thing VIC study for
difficult passage and enlarging it make
it useful as a means as we'll as an end.
There are two ways of helping one to
conquer a passage-frst, by enlarge
ment; second, by change of position.
The second seems almost contained in
the first, yet it is distinct. We can see
clearly now by taking scales and arpeg-
gios and showing how not only they are
at the bottom Of passage work, but how
their formation leads US TO the thought
that single passages can be developed IL
like manner and serve purpose.
Let US take first extension or enlarge
ment. A one octave scale is but an en-
largement of two or three or four notes.
a two octave scale is but an enlargement
of n one octave scale. And so on. An
arpeggio having within itself the inter
walls within the octave is an enlargement
of two or three notes, which themselves
are alterations OF a scale. Two Octaves
of the same are but an extension of one
octave. Now, of course one octave is
harder to play than three notes, two &C.
taves harder than one octave. And so
on.
Before applying this, let US take the
change of position. A passage is easy at
center of piano, difficult at both ex-
tremes, and of medium difficulty be-
tween the extremes and center. Then,
applying both, we say-in singing out
a measure of difficulty-the easiest and
best direct way of conquering it is to
take that one measure and continue it
that is, play it in one octave, then in
two octaves, and, indeed, from one end
of the piano to the other. This brings
with it, of course, change of position,
but, as was said, this is really distinct,
and the author of the foregoing says in
The Etude: Therefore play high pas
sage higher; play high passage low;
play a low passage lower; play low
passage high; also the passages which
lie between may be played in other po-
sitions. We may also say that what is
played in the right hand can be better
controlled if learned also with the left
hand, and 7ice versa. But this brings
with it such train Of difficulties not
necessary that it can hardly be supported
SO strongly as the singing out of pas
sage and enlarging it or changing its po-
sition in order to ''bound' or surround
ones grasp of the execution of the meas
ures elected.
It is we'll known that one can play
passage better as it stands if that pas
sage has been conquered on all sides.

Sufferers from superhuous hairs are
often much exercised in their minds as
to what to use on their face in order to
keep it smooth and clear, especially
when it is inclined to become ugh-as
so many skins are inclined to do-any-
thing of q greasy nature naturally hav-
ing a tendency to increase the growth,
but they Will find that judicious use
of lemon and milk, used each time after
washing, will go a long way toward
hindering the advent of pimples and
keeping the skin in that condition which
they wish it to attain. In mixing this
very simple application it only requires
a quarter of a pint of milk, less rather
than more, and the juice of whole
lemon. This mixture will keep good if
we'll corked down for two or perhaps
three days; but, if it is possible to do
SO, it is far better to mix it fresh every
day.

FANCY WORK.
In Which the Rough Huclzabaclz Towel
ing Plays Important Part.

In Which the Rough Huclzabaclz Towel
ing Plays Important Part.
Huckaback toweling is not associ-
ated, as a rule, with fancy work, and
yet this rough material affords a capital
substance upon which several kinds of
embroidery can be wrought. Examine a
piece of good huckaback toweling, and
you will discover that the weaving is
sufficiently regular to insure the pattern
being taken as guide for designs.
The huckaback takes kindly to cross
stitch, which, if a good design is select
ed, gives effective results. Huckaback
work best known consists in embroider-
ing the ends of towels in cross stitch, and
when properly done with cotton that
will wash these towels bear the wear
and tear of the laundry unusually well.
Large, bold designs are the best for tow
els-and over towels are pretty EN- broid-
cred on huckaback-and you will find
them quite easy to work. Griffins, con-
ventional flowers, geometrica1 patterns.
Greek fret and arabesques are all very
good for this purpose.
Elaborate designs, such as include
flowers and other objects to be shaded,
require to have the pattern traced on the
toweIing. OF course transfer paper may
be employed, and as many ladies use
transfers it may be helpful in this con-
nection to tell them, first, that they
must not uso too hot an iron, and, sec
ond, that It is necessary to iron on
hard surface if you want to take of
good impression.

The second of the series of subscrip-

last evening, and was decided success.
SO many times this season has this fine
dancing rendezvous been beautifully
decorated that it would be quite appro-
pirate to refer to it a progressive dec
orative contest
In this case last nights decorations
would score high.
The green of many palms was relieved
last evening by pink and white.
The draperies were white; the lamps
pink shaded, and above the especially
picturesque setting of the stage the white
drapery was yelled in soft pink aud COW
cred with tinsel.
The stage was divided into refresh
ment and music rooms and screened by a
pretty and effective arrangement of
palms and fowers
In the center handsome stand held a
bowl of pi nix and white carnations. From
this stand smilax was festooned to TIVE
marble statues each of which held pink
shaded lamp.
On the table was an deliberately
wrought centerpiece in embroidered
carnations aud point lace, and a vase of
pink and white carnations.
Mrs. G. S. sutton is responsible for the
tasteful decorations at these parties.
About forty couples enjoyed the party
last evening.
