ANYONE MAY LEARN TO MAKE REAL LACE.

knot! There is none Of that pulling and
poking to get an end under a loop, in
the manner of the ordinary knot. She
simply takes one end between the
thumb and finger, lays the other over
it, and by two or three twists of the
thread held in the right hand, the knot
is suddenly tied just as you think she
is about ready to begin to tie 1t.
1t would be difficult to describe the
process of weaving the various parts of
the lace with it's different degrees of
fineness. One would have to see it to
understand, but when once one gets a
glimpse of the fascinating bobbins
which are much more easily manipulate
ed than the knitting or embroidery
needles, there is no rest till one gets
hands on them. A bit of lace of ones
own manufacture is a great prize, even
If it is not the finest weave in the
world, and when one remembers that
it is as easy to learn as embroidery and
almost no strain on the eyes, it is a
wonder that American women have not
taken it up as a fad. 1t is a graceful
and becoming occupation for a young
woman, and the fabric is suggestive of
all that is dainty-a most necessary at
tribute in a handiwork that is to be-
come fashionable. A man looks on
with awe and admiration at such deli
cacy, and that is his proper state of
mind from the point of view of the
would-be- belle.
The little Italian woman talks of 60
ing to Newport, and should she do so
and get the interest Of the ladies who
are looking for summer fad, there is
no knowing what depreciation might
befall the Italian lace importers mar
ket. 1t is said that Southern women

women would do we'll to initiate them,

Away over, on the other side of the
Bowery in New York, there is a real,
little Italian signora who makes lace
with as much ease as our grandmoth-
ers knit stockings. 1t matters not
what kind or quality, she can weave
anything from bridal veil to petit
coat flounce and not be very long about
it either 1t is not too much to say
that she is the only person in America
who can weave the cobwebby fabric
which is not only fit for royalty but
which has actually been worn by
queens and princesses. 1t is with great
pride that she exhibits the photograph
of lace fan for which Queen Mar
ghuerita paid her one thousand dol
lars in order to obtain it as we'd
ding gift for her sons wife. This fan
was woven by our italian signora when
she was inspector of lace making in the
schools of Naples three or four years
ago. Angola Milone-that is her name
held this important position for four
years and only left it finally to come to
America with her husband, who is a
painter. She studied lace making for
ten years in a college not far from
Rome, beginning when very little
girl, and leaving before she was twenty
to take the position in the Neapolitan
schools mentioned above.
1t is perfect delight to watch her
braiding the threads. which are wound
on little sticks or bobbins about five
inches long which she calls ''piumbini,"
for as she herself says "she has very
little English"
At present she is working at pat
tern which was designed in the 14th
century. Doubtless the same pattern

which she goes over three times in or
der to raise the design up above the
surface in relief. Sucn work is done
with the finest of linen threads. and
would require year of constant labor
to complete it.
The most surprising thing about this
lace making is the fact that no needles
enter into the process. Pins are used
instead, and these by the score,-little
bits of things with small heads.
The first step in the process is to
pin the stamped paper pattern down
to a cylindrical cushion that is made Of
ticking and covered with velvet and
stuffed tightly with straw. This done,
the lace-maker sticks three, good sized
pins in row across that mesh of the
pattern upon which she wishes to be-
gin. Upon each of these she hangs a
thread of linen each end of which is
wound for yards upon a bobbin. An
other pair of bobbins with the con-
Meeting thread is suspended from a
pin set several inches above the start
ing point. These are wound with the
coarse thread that forms the border
and are not used as constantly as the
others which are wound with finer
thread and form the body of the
laces.
With this preparation. the weaver
begins to braid the bobbins in and out,
exactly as one braids hair in four and
five strands, as school girls are so fond
of doing. At certain point, when the
correct number of threads are braided
together the weaver pushes the mesh
up with pin, as one does in darning
a stocking, and fastens it by sticking
the pin down through the paper into
the cushion, with the head close to the
paper, so as not to catch the threads.
When this portion of the pattern is
completed, the pins may all be re-

in one-half pint Of alcohol will be found

In Spain there Is an old recipe called
Portugal extract which makes the hair
fine and luxuriant and which could
be used nicely in place of the Quinine
tonic just mentioned. 1t is said that
this extract keeps the hair in state
of moisture most excellent for its
growth. This is the formula:
Equal parts of essential oil Of oranges
and alcohol.
Just few drops of this is put in q
small basin of water in which you dip
the comb. AS most of us revel in curls
or wavy pompadours, the extract
could be used only at night and after
the brushing. Clipping the hair every
two weeks will keep it even and will
snip away the split ends.
Should the hair be inclined to fall
out, it shows most invariably that the
physical condition is not of the best.
Worry, over-study and late hours will
weaken the hair and thin it rapidly.
Anxiety and ill-health is sure to cause
it to fall or to become grey. So, II
seems, that one way to have fine hair
is, first. to have good health. Pure
olive oil rubbed directly on the scalp
after shampoo gives nourishment to
the roots and will ofttimes put new life
in them. This tonic, too, will make the
hair grow:
| Oil of sweet almonds. 60 grammes
Essense OF rosemary..........6 60 grammes
Oll OF mace. Observation-Disclosures. gramme9
Anoint the scalp with this every night
and wash the hair weekly.
A good cleaning lotion that will do
away with dandruff-that horror Of
womankind-is made after this for
mua:
One pint distilled water, .fnHWN1l
| One ounce rosemary spirits,
| Beat up and use warm.
There is little doubt but that the
curling-iron scorches away the vitality
of the hair and is the cause of most Of
the shaggy shocks of uneven ends that
we see so often nowadays Added to
this is the pleasure of having the hot
| iron take a "shoot-the-chu frolic
down your back every once in a while,
an experience which has fallen to the
lot of most young women. Besides, un-
less the iron is carefully cleaned after
each heating over the gas, it relieves
itself of a coating of smoke on every
curl, which, it stands to reason, is hard
ly beneficial

When blossoms in the wind are dancing,
And children at their cheerful play
Heed not the mournful crowd advancing.
Up through the long and busy street
They'll bear me to my last retreat.
Or else it matters not-may rave

Above the bleak and new-made grave,
Whore care and I lie down together.
Enough that shall know it not,
Beneath in that dark, narrow spot.
Oh, sweet repose! Oh, slumbcr blest!
Oh, night of peace!-no storm, no sorrow
No heavy stirring in my rest
To meet another weary morrow;
7 shall note no night nor dawn,
But still, with folded hands, sleep on.
Then weep not, friends, what time ye lay
The cold, moist earth above my ashes;
Think what rest awaits my clay,
And smooth the mound with fearless lashes,
Glad that the wasted form within
Has done at length with care aud sid.
Think that with her the strife is Ger
Lifss stormy, struggling battle endofi;
Hope that her soul has gained that sho.s
To which, though weak, her footsteps tended
Breathe the dear hope above our sod,
And leave her to her rest-and God.

HANDY GARDEN ROLLER.

the frame more compact and rigid.
AS to the length of the logs, the one
in each section should be just trifle
over three feet, for then, owing to the
space between the rollers of about
five inches, one, if he so desires, can
nicely roll ground planted to corn by
driving astride one row. A roller of
this width, with logs about two feet
in diameter, can be drawn by span of
horses with ease.
To explain it's construction more
fully, on the end of each roller should
be fastened a plate of old boiler iron,
through which have the pins project,
these being about 15inches long. Many
farmer can do all the blacksmith
work himself, but in case he cannot
this cost rarely exceeds three dol
lars. For the driver, an old hay rake
or moving machine seat is just the
thing; and, in order to prevent the
rollers from having a decided ten
dency downward on the tongue, as
oftentimes occurs, and making the
necks of the horses sore in conse-
quence, it is generally advisable to
bolt the seat on the middle crosstie Of
the frame. This arrangement affords
a comfortable driving position, as
well as an excellent one from which
to observe and direct the work; and
if a roller thus made is only properly
housed, it will do good service and
last for years.-Frederick o. Sibley,

A PLAN THAT FAILED.
The Past and the Future of Irrigation
in Kansas Told in n Few
Words.

For time much was said and writ
ten about the promise of irrigation. 1t
was believed that it would revolutionize
the plains and make of them gardens.
But that day is past. Irrigation with
out water is failure, and the plains
have not enough water for the bitches
that have been already dug. Vast
reaches of upland cannot be reached by
water except by pumping it out of the
ground, and frequently it is nearly as
far to water in that direction as it is
overland. Windmill and pump can sup
ply the vegetables, and make sure that
there will be enough -four in the bin,
but it cannot moisten the whole claim.
This has been demonstrated. Along
the river bottoms there is hope, and
many flourishing irrigation plants ex-
list. Numerous other ditch properties,
however, are in the hands of receivers,
and are losing money. The future use
fulness of irrigation seems likely to be
confined to small territories favorably
situated, rather than to be applied to
the plains generally.--Charles Moreau
larger, in Harper's Magazine.
