it has called into being, Some of the par

Beautiful Fabrics Now Being Woven
by ChippexNn WOmen

Specimens of the beautiful lace which is
being made by the Chippewa Indians are
now seen in a few of the fashionable houses
of New York, reports the Sur. They are
mainly in the form of table covers, bed
spreads and piano covers. The lace is
peculiarly adapted for these purposes, as the
designs are bold and forcible and show to
great advantage when placed over a deli
cately colored silk lining. In quality and
style, however. the lace is quite as subject
to variation as is that Of any other make.
and ample opportunity is therefore afforded
for the individuality of the worker to assert
itself.
1t is to Miss Sibyl Carter of New York
that the Chippewa squaws owe their knowl-
edge of lacemaking. In 1891 she conceived
the idea Of teaching them this accomplish
ment. The beadwork they formerly made,
while it displayed their patience and nimble-
ness of touch, was quite unstable. The ac-
complished teacher that Miss Carter, aided
by the Episcopal mission, sent to them was
Miss Pauline Colby. She speaks Of her
pupils as being most eager to learn and
says that the idea once grasped they work
with an accuracy which far surpasses that
of white women.
From the first the lace found a ready sale
among wealthy New York women, who en-
couraged the work by giving large advance

A NEST unusual marriage took place at
Texarkana on April 80. Six prominent cit
liens of Texarkana went to spend Sunday
with a. farmer named wager, near Rondo.
While there they were informed that some
where in the neighborhood a young girl was
living as a man, wearing mems clothing.
On the way home the gentlemen stopped at
a farm house to see il they could learn more
of the strange woman.
At this house was a man and a young lad,
who was smoking a cigarette. The farmers
name is E. D. Sims. Thinking the men were
officer. he confessed that the smoking lad
was in reality a girl, named Lulu Shaw. She
Is very pretty and intelligent. To the men
she said she resided at Waco, where her
home had been burned. Sims then took
charge of her and she had learned to love
him. She dressed as a man to keep people
from talking about her. Among the parties
who made the discovery were two lawyers
and an alderman, who informed the couple
that they were violating the law. They be-
came scared at that and consented to marry
each other.
The couple were given seats in the car
riage and the whole party entered Texar-
kama, the woman dressed in overalls, mans
shirt, suspenders, etc. County Clerk San
derson was sent for and issued a marriage
license for the couple. County Judge w. 1.
Hamilton joined them while they stood upon
the court house steps, surrounded by the
men who had unearthed the mystery. After
the ceremony the groom kissed the bride and
departed for home on foot, followed by good
wishes from the crowd. The feature Of the
occasion was when Clerk Sanderson asked
the woman why she wore suspenders. Her
reply was: ITO hold up my pants. of

SOME PRETTY PENNIES.
Surprising Facts as to the Cost of
Certain Customs and Luxuries.

A pretty penny is the cost of more things
than are dreamed of in our philosophy. For
example, simply to salute the rising and the
setting sun costs Uncle Sam 800, 900 a year
for ammunition, or $54.79 each day.
One million and a quarter dollars is the
sum appropriated yearly by our government
for the expenses of the consular and diplo-
matte service. and Great Britain, for such
purposes, spends twice this sum.
For the pleasure OF maintaining a royal
family the United Kingdom eXacts from its
taxpayers a sum in the neighborhood of
$40, 900 weekly, or 10000 a day. not even
Sundays being excluded.
The prince of Wales, contrary to general
belief, does not nave the privilege Of frank
ing his mail, and his stamps, stationery and
kilograms cost him So 1000 per annum.
The maids OF honor in attendance upon
Queen Victoria receive an annual allowance
of 81, 500, but nearly the entire amount is
spent In dressmakers' bills; it is an I'M
written but mandatory regulation of the
court that the same dress shall not appear
more than twice in the royal presence.
TIL total cost 10 Russia of the imperial
family is s17. 500, 600. The German emperor
costs his country So, 900, 900 yearly. The

Best Way to Wash Stockings, SILK and
Wool Underwear and Linens.
The first essential in washing stockings is
to have an absolutely clean soap solution in
tepid water. Put in your stockings, right
side out, rub we'll, turn and rub on the
wrong side. If the color is at all delicate,
rub the feet first, then the legs, so as not
to leave the latter long in water. Ringe
thoroughly in water Of the same tempera-
ture, wiring dry and hang from the tops of
the stockings so that If any water settles,
leaving a slight discoloration 1t will be in
the toe instead OF the leg. If the colorei
stockings chow signs Of running or fading
the color may be set with alum or salt,
bearing in mind that alum Is as apt to set
the dirt as well as the color.
Silk stockings should be washed and
rinsed in lukewarm water and wrung be-
tween towels. Silk underwear should be
soaked twenty minutes in warm suds and
ammonia water, allowing a tablespoonful
Of ammonia to a gallon of water. Rub
gently with the hands-squeezing, pressing,
but never scrubbing. Do not be too lavish
in the use of soap, and never rub directly on
the garment-always use it in solution.
Rinse through two clear warm waters of the
same temperature as the suds, adding to the
last water a trifle of ultramarine blue and a
