have the care of the school house property. the
power to report what repairs are needed from time

those holding certificate from the examiner, but
being situated nearby with the enjoined duty of
frequently visiting the school, they nave it in their
power to give helpful suggestions, to restrain grow
ing evils 10 back up the teacher in keeping good
order and in many other ways they can be of great
advantage TO the school. / should like to see the
trustees Of Carroll county take deeper interest in
the local schools and assume the full measure Of
responsibility which is assigned them in the school

when the duties of the position are wisely and
faithfully discharged the trustees will become n
powerful factor in lifting the schools to higher
plape of efficiency. The trainers OF the school sys

visit The schools frequently. This was wise and

IN PEkIN.

1t is very. Interesting news that the
fighting in Pekin did not end with the
rescue of the legations and that 'the
inner city" was being bombarded, 1t
will be remembered that when the ex-
citement over the Chinese trouble, was
at its height Minister WI was said to
have said that the most effective way to
open the eyes of the Chinese would be
to break through the wall of this inner
city. If that is SO it is to be hoped that
the breach has been made by this time
and that it is large enough to let civili-
cation through.
The story that the Empress dowager
is in the inner city is a dubious one,
but If she is, 1t is to be hoped that she
is prisoner of the allies, She has
made great deal of trouble, even for
a woman.

EMBROIDERY srrTr, POPULAR.

EMBROIDERY STILL POPULAR.
Embroidery will continue to be a
feature of elegant toilets, and as the
work upon them can be done at home
copies of imported models are within
the reach of the delft needlewoman.
One of the latest importations Is blue
crepe de chine embroidered with large
flowers done in q faded shade of brown.
The bodice is smooth fitting behind,
and very slightly bloused in front 1t
is puckered in at the waist line instead
of being fitted with darts. At the neck
it is cut out in the very smallest v
shaped decollete over gui1npe and
standing collar of old lace. The design
embroidered upon the front Of the bod
ice is In Japanese chrysanthemums,
with their full petals and foliage. The
stems of the flowers are turned down,
and in the floral design that is en-
brofdered TO match on the front of the
skirt the stems are turned up. The
bodice Is finished with narrow girdle
OF the same material, very smooth fit
ting, and embroidered simply at the
center of the front with rows of stems
SO that the whole floral design appears
to be in one. The crepe de chine sleeves
are embroidered their full length on the
outside. They are tight fitting at the
top, and belled out slightly from the ell
bow to well above the wrist, where
they are cut short to show a lace puff
that Is gathered in to waist band of
black velvet Three narrow rows of
black ribbon passing around the sides
and back of the collar horizontally are
not allowed to meet in front, but finish
under two rows Of small gilt buttons.
AT the bottom of the skirt is a circular
ruffie of uniform width Is more sparsely
embroidered with chrysanthemums like
those on the front of the costume
