women, who try to be as cool as pos
sible during the summer months.
The modern sandal craze caught
London society last year, and during
the summer the skeleton shoes were
worn by scores of prominent women.
They also were popular in this coun-
try along the sea shore, where pro-
lection for the feet and comfort form
combination that is rather hard to
meet. They are likely to be quite
generally worn at lake resorts
around Chicago during the coming
season, although the people who
maintain summer homes have not as
yet shown any more interest in them
than to smile when they saw them on
shoe dealers counters.
The old Greek sandalium, after
which the up-to-date manufacturers
novelty is patterned, consisted of a
thick sole of wood, cork, or leather,
with strap carried over the foot in
front of the socket of the great toe,
passed between this and the second
toe, and tied to the other bands
fastening the edge of the sole before
and behind. The back was supported
by strap work which was often neat
ly intertwined above the ankles.
Soles of a more simple kind were
bound underneath the foot and tied
together in a knot or by a clasp.
Soles also were worn which were pro-
vided with a close-ftting piece of
leather, at the heal and with piece
of leather sometimes broad. at the
sides. These last were so laced to-
gether by straps round the ankles
that the soles and fat of the foot re-

SANDALS FOR WOMEN.
Crazy London Fad Has Struck Chi
caEO and May Find Fair Dew
Otees Elsewhere.

If you want to be strictly up to
date and follow English styles con-
scientiously get pair of sandals.
They are here, and the women of
Chicago are threatened with a new
fad. 1t is a footwear fad. None of
the sandals has been sold yet, but
one of the biggest dry goods stores
has them in stock and expects great
sale.
Shoe manufacturers have gone
back several centuries and sprung a
novelty, patterned after the old
| Greek sandalium. The new footdress
isn't exactly an imitation of the
sandalium, but it is so near it that
there is little use of drawing distin-
gushing lines.
About the only difference between
the old sandal and the new is that in
the modern production buckles are
used instead of knots and the great
toe is incased in a leather shield in
place of being separated from the
second toe by a narrow strap. The
sandals now on sale in Chicago for
the first time are made of heavy sole
leather and are formed after the
shape outline of the foot. They are
held in place by three straps. One
passes across the top of the foot at
the base of the toes, the other crosses
the ankle just above the instep,
while the third runs from this last
binding cord to the end of the great
toe, forming a pocket in which the
toe is concealed. The heel support is
made of heavy leather, and when the
straps across the top are buckled the
foot is held firmly in place.
The bottom of the sandal is per-
fectly fat, and when worn allows all
of the foot to touch the ground. The
sandals are intended principally for
house wear. They are in reality a
"loafing" shoe, but they could be
worn on the street if woman could
be found with nerve enough to intro
duce the innovation. They are also
expected to be popular with children,
who eschew shoes and stockings in
summer, yet whose feet are so ten
der that they blister when brought
into contact with hot pavements. The
sandal, however, can as well be worn
with stockings, and that is why they
are likely to become popular among

Turkey Queen of Texas.

Miss Anita Martin is known
throughout Texas as the turkey
queen" on account of the many tur-
keys which she has raised on her
ranch in that state. So great has
been the increase in Miss Martins
business since she started with four
turkeys five years since that she now
employs two women and boy to
help her take care of her 100 stock
birds. Miss Martin sells the turkeys
to regular customers, and claims to
have cleared $4,000 this year. The
most expensive birds are those which
feed on nuts and other fancy foods,
which render their flesh sweeter and
more palatable. All the eggs are
Matched by incubators, and the food
which the turkeys eat is. grown On
the ranch, thus saving much expense.
Miss Martin heartily recommends
women to enter the turkey-raisins

sensible Medical Advice.

A family physician has made himself
unpopular by the advice he has given
his women patients. Instead of send
ing them to some sanitarium where all
sorts of exercise appliances are in
vogue, he advises sweeping at home
as means of Strengthening the mus
cles and broadening the chest. An
hours work in bedmaking after de-
tailed directions how to do it should
be followed by bath and rest upon
the bed for half an hour. Meat mar
kets and groceries should be at least
mile from the house, and the patient
go to market daily. She should avoid
worry, anger or complaining, and
every evening write strict account OF
her industry during the day. This the
doctor signs.

WOMAN IRoNwoRKER.
Mrs. Ames-Lynde, q Follower OF Tu-
bal Cain, Patronized by King
and Nobility.

The village of Thornham, lying be-
tween Hunstanton and Brancaster, is
one of the most interesting spots in
Norfolk. Projecting prominently
from the roof of one of the ordinary
dwellings in the ancient, solitary viii
lage street is a strange iron sign rep
resenting two sons of Tubal Cain ham,
mering zealously upon an anvil, with
the inscription "Thornha.n Iron
works" benea h.
This unpretentious dwelling is prob
ably the strangest ironworks in the
country, if not in the world. Herein
are manufactured, by hand labor,
some of the most beautiful specimens
of ironwork and repousse, from huge
gates to delicate table decorations,
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1902-05-23

strongly reminiscent of the medieval
times of England.
Another peculiar feature of this
quaint village industry is that it is
controlled by a lady-Mrs. Ames-
Lynde-who not only superintends the
actual working, but prepares the de-
signs herself. Mrs. Ames-Lynde is a
Jealous artist, with a distinct ten
dency towards the Italian school, and
frequently visits Italy and other con-
tinental art centers for photographs
and material for her designs.
The Thornham ironworks were
started IL years ago, in very unos-
tentatious manner, in the village
school room, Mrs. Ames-Lynde being
assisted in her work by the schoolmas-
ter. The village boasted at that time
$50 inhabitants, and the leading mem
bers of this little community attend
evening two or three times a week.
At first the work was entirely devoted
to bent ironwork, but, artistic though
this industry proved, it was soon dis
covered that to make it thoroughly
interesting the forge would have to
be utilized.
In view of this fact house was Sc
cured for conversion into a workshop,
replete with all the implements Incl
dental to the ironworker calling. At
first the regular workmen numbered
two, but the business developed so
quickly that now there are some half
dozen FORCES at work, with several
skilled mechanics and apprentices,
while the staff also now includes an
artist and photographer.
The work of this curious factory
soon attracted attention on account
of it's excellence and artistic charac-
ter. The king was the first to patron
ize it, by commissioning lamp for the
hall at Sandringham and bracket for
Shembourne church, while recently a
large gate has been manufactured at
Thornham for the entrance to the
grounds surrounding his majesty's
Norfolk home.
To-day the products of the Thorn
ham factory have gained a widespread
reputation. Now there are more or
ders in hand than the limited re-
sources of the works will permit be-
ing accomplished as expeditiously as
is desirable At the residence of Sir
Dighton Probyn, at Park house, San
dringham, may be seen fine medieval
looking lamp, made at the Thornham
works, while at the entrance to the
grounds of Mr.. Somerset Beaumont's
home at Wiseton, Bawtry, is a splen-
did specimen of the Thornham handi-
craft in the form of massive gate,
fashioned after the Italian style.
Mrs. Ames-Lynde does not confine
her energies to the manufacture Of
gates and similar work entirely, but
designs the repousse work for table
and other decoration. The designs
are executed by hand throughout, and
in some instances are of a very labor
ious description. In the making of a
gate. for instance, containing liberal
floral designs, every petal has to be
formed separately, then welded on.
One of Mrs. Ames-Lynde's greatest
achievements was the fulfllment of
an order given by the royal commits
sion for the--royal pavilion at the
Paris exhibition of 1900. In this work
the king himself evinced an intimate
interest.-London Mail.

taught gardening and hen-raising as
well as domestic arts. The school
has an endowment of over a quarter
ing. The state of Alabama votes it
$4,000 every year, and the white
neighbors have the kindliest feelings
toward it.
Over 500 former students of the in
stitute are scattered about the south
at work in smaller, less known train
ing schools, or on farms and in fac
tories.
One of these smaller schools is
known as the Snow Hill Institute, and
it has a history.
Some years ago one William j. Ed
wards, of Snow Hill, who was and is
as black as the ace of spades, and
was then IL years old, ragged and
half starved to boot, started for Tus-
kegee on foot. He got there some
how and worked his way through,
but at one particularly knotty place
applied to white man whom he had
known in Snow Hill for a loan of SIS.
This man, Mr.. r. o. Simpson, had for
gotten the boy, but sent the money.
And he had forgotten boy and money
both when, years later, well-dressed
negro came up to him one day and
counted out SIS with the interest.
The white mans share in what fol-
lowed was quite as creditable as the
blacks. He furnished 40 acres of
land upon which Edwards started a
little school in an abandoned one
room log cabin. Now it has ten
teach ers, ten buildings, all small but
necessary to the 10 different indus
tries carried on, more than 400 pupils
and the necessary cattle, pigs, mules,
etc. Mr. Simpson is the president.

timental reasons I retain. Last year
rented 'two-mule farm to an old
negro named Andy, who had always
lived on the place. A 'two-mule farm
is so acres, one and three-mule allot-
ments being respectively 25 and rs
acres. The basis of measurement is
cotton land only, liberal but unmeas-
ured strip of corn bottom being
thrown in with each rental as a neces-
sary condition. 1 may add that an
other necessary condition was the loan
by myself of $50 to Andy to make the
crop; the rental price was to be $50,
which with the loan was lien on the
cotton he should wiring by his labor
from the earth.
'sAbsorbed in my affairs, / heard lit
tie from the busy hum of toll upon the
plantation until summoned thither by
an extraordinary legal tangle. Andy
had promptly sublet his lease to an
other negro named Jim, and both Andy
and Jim had contracted the unmade
crop to agents. Jim did the work, and
naturally claimed the disposition of
the result. Andy's agent sued him
for breach of contract; 1 had to hire
him a lawyer and pay his verdict with
the costs, amounting to $40. Whether
Tim had also borrowed money for his
seasons expenses, and how he and
ANDY finally settled their affairs I
torbore to ask. AS for myself, the
:ent money was two dollars short, so

sscpressive features. He seemed hurt.
but controlled his feelings manfully.

said, softly. after a brief pause. that
Andy was one of our negroes. He has
