On ONE page the Topeka
papers of last week published the
speeches of local S. S. workers in
which they assured the visiting
brethren that the prohibition
law was strictly enforced in
Topeka, and that there was now
no illegal selling. On other pages
of the same paper was published
accounts of joint raids, arrests
of drunkards, etc. Those stories
do not match-they are terrible
misfts. Somebody has been
lying. Is it the fellows who make
the court and police records, or
who?

is cut to be an inch wider than the
knife or fork, is long and lined with
canton flannel. There are twelve fan
mel leaves, neatly buttonholed along
the edges and fastened to the back of
the folder The colored flannel lining
looks the prettiest and should contrast
with the material used for the outside,
which can be of any preferred stuff.
Forks and spoons are to be placed be-
tween the leaves and when all are in
the folder should be tied. A small
piece of gum camphor put in the bind

same way as those for forks or spoons,
except that it is longer, so that it will
fold over three times, and instead of
having leaves, there are pieces of the
flannel set on so that the handles of
the knives may be held securely. These
pieces are set in alternate lines, so that
the handle of one and the blade of the
other knife come side by side. Expert
needlewomen can ornament these hand

"A BEADED CHATELAINE

BAG. emerald green
beads may be made at home and Will
look handsome if finished with an OK
idized silver top in the center of which
is an artificial emerald. This purse
should terminate in angles, the surface
Of the purse being decorated with
simple beaded pattern, such as an IRIS
or conventionalized foliage. A fringe
of beading will impart handsome fin
ish to the wide end Of the purse.
Instead Of a purse a chatelaine bag
may be knitted with the silk and beads.
An oxidized silver clasp top with ring
and chain may be bought for the bag
and affixed to it by the home worker.
Just now the crocheted and beaded silk
purses and bags are very popular. A
convenient size for the chatelaines Is
eight and a half inches from the ring
in the chain to the extremity OF the
fringe The length of the purses from
one extremity to the other ought to be
about six and half inches.
To make the elegant chatelaine bag
shown in the illustration requires SIX
large and six small metal rings and
one spool of heavy saddler silk, one
round Jet cabuchon, handsome clasp
and chain of oxidized silver and twelve
strings of jet beads, No. 6. First make
the bag Of good black silk or satin and
see that the clasp fits it. Then crochet
the rings and beads and silk in or
binary stitch with one bead In each.
The rings are framed in beads in the
well known way. Two rings, one large
and one small, are used in each circle.
The cabuchon is put in the center OF
five rows of beads wrought In the
crochet. This forms the centerpiece OF
the bag and has the six beaded and
crocheted circles around it. The fringe
consists of simple twisted beaded loops

but the scalloped edges must match it.
The pincushion is Of dotted swiss and

more suitable for this bag than the

The purse is closed by means of the
bars passing through the ring. A gate
clasp can be used instead Of the bars
if preferred. The rings are first GRO

thread which sews them is not to be
broken or cut until all are united. Both
sides Of the purse have the same num-
