a BEADED CHAlELAlNE UpcOrHIpu Will
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 n handsome fin
ish to the wide end of the purse.
Instead of 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 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 chateaine bag
shown in the illustration requires six
large and six small metal rings and
one spool of heavy saddler silk, one
round jet cabuchon, a 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 cabuohon is put in the center of
five rows of beads wrought in the
crochet. This forms the centerpece of
the bag and has the six beaded and
crOcheted circles around it. The fringe
consists of simple twisted beaded loops
and follows the formation of the cir
Giles, which give it a scalloped outline.
The back IS left plain.

The purse is closed by means of the

thought of him, young, slender, but
brave to rashness and recklessness
cioseted alone with her stern father in
the grim old library. The door opened
at last, and he stood before her, flush
on his cheeks and an expression in his
eye.

asked with trembling eagerness. He
held her in his arms for moment
without speaking.
''Yes, dearest" he said at length.
"And what did he say, Richard? Tell

But Richard looked down into her
pleading face and shook his head slow

'Tell me, then, for l cannot wait.
Was he brutal and cruel to you? What
did he do? What did he say?"
Richard drew a long, deep breath and
again looked down at the face turned
up to meet his troubled glance. He
sighed and whispered slowly:

Council Opens Bids for Addition
al Paving.
Laporte Street to be Paved the Width
of Forty Feet West Of Center
Street.


The common council met in special
session for half an hour Monday eve
nsng to open bids for paving on South
Michigan and Laporte streets. Nine
proposals were presented by the clerk.
by practically the same parties IS
were here before.
There was no remonstrance fled
against either of the proposed inn
provements, though an attempt to
secure one. in the South Michigan
street case had been made. a suf-
ficient number of resident property
owners could not be induced to sign.
There was less variance in the bids
than before and w. w. Hatch & Sons
were again the lowest. Their figures
are as follows:
Clinton block, gravel founda-
ton. Sl.40.
Posten block, gravel founda-
ton, sl.41.
Other brick, Sl.49.
Add 10 cents for stone foundation
or 80 cents for concrete.
Cement filler, 8 cents.
Cement curb, 224 cents.
The controversy over the width to
which Laporte street shall be paved
was brought before the council in the
form of declaratory resolution, pre-
pared and presented by Senator Par
ker, providing for the letting of bids,
to be opened Aug. 10, for paving a
strip five feet wide on each side of the
street from Center street west to the
terminus, thus making the pavement
40 feet in width instead of 80, as is
now provided. This resolution was
unanimously adopted.
The contractor who will pave the
street under the bid to be accepted
tonight will be the only bidder for the
two additional strips and his price
must be understood and made bind
ing before the contract is awarded.

'Yes," he answered.

"Yes." he assented.
Then how was it he gained the vic

Contracts Let for Laporte and
South Michigan Streets
The Superintendent Here Ready for
Work-wiIl Employ Local Help
as Far as Possible.

The common council met Tuesday
evening and formally awarded the two
contracts for paving Laporte and
South Michigan streets to w. w.
Hatch & Sons. of Goshen, their bids
being the lowest and best. The con-
tracts call for Clinton block with
gravel foundation and sand filler, ex-
cept that one square ON Laporte street
NAV have stone foundation if the
council shall SO determine later. The
cost of the Clinton block ON a gravel
foundation is s1.40 per square yard.
The Laporte street contract is to
contain a provision binding the
Hatches to bid as low as ST.. 40 on the
two 5-foot strips on that street by
which the improvement is to be wild
portion west of Center street. 1t was
necessary, as a matter of legal form,
to 90 through the same procedure in
paving these strips as i'm the original
work, but it is not at all probable that
any bid will be submitted other than
the one by the Hatch firm and the
price will be the same as that for the
remainder of the street.
The city attorney stated to the
council that he lad prepared the re-
quired bond i'm the North Michigan
street case and that he forwarded it
Monday for the signature Cf the con-
tractors. 1t is for twice the amount
of the contract price. With the ex-
ecution, filing and approval Of the
bond all the preliminary work will be
completed so far as the north half of
the street is concerned.
Harry S. Enyart is the name of the
man who will superintend all of the
Hatch jobs in Plymouth and he
arrived mere Tuesday to remain until
the last brick is laid. In the evening
he called upon the city engineer to set
the grade stakes SO that the excayat-
ing may be commenced atonce. This
work will begin at the north end Of
the street and it is hoped to have a
large force employed today.
Mr.. Enyart says he expects to COM
plete the present contracts within
four months, or by Nov. l. He will
use 70 or so men and will give resi-
dents of Plymouth and vicinity the
preference in engaging them, except
that he will bring six expert brick
layers now in the service of the firm.
He invites the close inspection of the
work by all citizens as it progresses to
see that it conforms with the plans
and specifications. He is Investigate
ing the gravel beds near the city and
hopes to find a suitable quality within
-teaming distance. If he does not sue
coed in his search the gravel will be
brought by rail.
