The uses for which chenille has been
found adapted are manifold, and it
seems as if almost every new thing one
sees has this beautiful trimming added
in some way. Braided, it forms the
foundation for hat crowns and brims,
and sewed along the edge of silk or
other material it is quilted up and is
made into rosettes and other trimming.
Boas are made of different sizes, either
sewed along the cages or made into
fringe at the front, and this extends
frequently almost to the bottom of the
skirt. Chenille is SO soft and velvety
that it is as becoming as sealskin.
One dainty boa was made of accordion
plated liberty silk, and the edge was
pulled out straight, and a row of the
thickest chenille was put directly on

They Piled 1t On.

''They do things their own way up in
New England" said the tramp on the
park bench as he gazed at a big toe
peeping through his shoe For instance,
up in New Hampshire [ was crossing a
field when a bull took after me. AS he
was about to pick me up on his horns l
lodged, and ne went full tilt against a
tree and broke his neck"
''Weu, what was done" was asked
''Why, they arrested me for trespass.
On top Of that they charged me with
melting q bull to mischief. Then l was
held for the worth Of the bull, and be
fore they got through with me I was in
jail for II months. I'd have got an
other month if there hadn't been slip.
When the bull broke his neck, the
farmers wife tainted away, and they
meant to tack on 80 days more to pay
the farmer for her lost time while I'M
conscious!'

How to Care For InvaIids-What GO
Do For Sudden Illness.


In sudden illness those who attend
the sick are too much inclined to fly
to stimulants especially brandy. It is
q principle Of first aid to the Injured
that when there is bleeding, even when
fainting has ensued, alcohol should
never be given, for it causes increas-
ed heart action, with a consequent
increased loss of blood. This is par
ticularly important to remember in
cases of blee ling from the lungs.
When a person faints, he should be
laid fat on his back and all articles
of clothing that appear tight should be
loosened. Fresh air should be admit
ted to the room, smelling salts or harts-
horn should be applied to the nostl1ls
and the face and head bathed with
cold water If neither salts nor harts-
horn can be found a smOldering rag
will often revive the patient. When
the person has regained consciousness,
IL the fainting was not accompanied
by bleeding or the result of bleeding,
then small quantity of brandy or
other alcoholic stimulant may be safe
~ administered.
Many doctors still encourage the use
of the old fashioned mustard plasters
or the faxseed and bread and milk
poultices of our grandmothers' time.
When a mustard plaster or a hot pOul-
tice is removed, it is important to dry
the parts quickly and cover with fan
mel or cotton wool This is to prevent
| cold from, ovOOS11rp
The sickroom should be large and
CHEEKY apartment. The windows must
| be arranged so that the room can be
darkened when necessary. Often the
glare of too much light in large room
| is as depressing to a patient as the
STIFFNESS of a small one Once day
the patient should be well wrapped up
and the room aired, no matter what
the weather may be. Rugs are better
than carpets and a good mating better
than either. Bent wood or wicker
furniture is preferable to that which
| is upholstered.

The woman who strives after a clear
complexion Will not eat pastry, fried
food Of any description or nuts. When
the face lacks color, eat plenty Of I'M
derdone beef and take small dose Of
iron after each meal When the face
is too highly colored, these things
should, of course, be specially avoided.
A good circulation is also necessary if
one would have a clear complexion,
and plenty of exercise in the open air
is needed to obtain it, Sound, restful
slppp will do much to freshen and
brighten the complexion, and this
should be obtained by going to bed
early in a well ventilated room and
with warm but light covering on the
bed.

for presidential electors the returns
show largely increased baIloting on

Mrs, Chapman Gait gives instructive
statistics from the states ia which wo
man suffrage amendments have been
twice defeated In Kansas the vote in
favor has increased from 9100 to 90,
302. In Washington a majority against
it of 1886 a few years ago dropped to
9,8S2 in 1898. South Dakota in 1890 de-
feated the measure by 22,610; in 1898
by only 1926. In 1884 Oregon went
against by 1888; this year by only
2.033 In Oregon the negative votes
were this year within very small fig
ure of what they were in 1884, showing
that the old hunkers who voted against
