cloths, DoiIies and Centerpieces.

- VIEW table linens are always use
I'M full, and the good housewife
IN welcomes additions to her
store with such enthusiasm
that any one who tries the experiment
of making a gift of this kind is tempted
to repeat the experiment not once, but
many times.
Tablecloths never come amiss. The
handsomer they are the better, but
even a plain one Of modest dimensions
has it's uses. If a woman has time, she
can make handsome one for presenta-
ton to a relative or intimate friend.
Cream colored linen should be the
foundation fabric. The linen should be
inset with a band Of Irish lace inser-
ton and edged with a wider piece.
The lace shown in the sketch of the
tablecloth is simple. The heavy flowers
in the patterns are crocheted separate
ly. and then they are all strung to-
gether with chain stitch. Along the
outside of the edging border of Gro

yards of insertion and ten yards OF
lace edging. An embroidered mono
gram should be worked in one corner
of the linen.
Next to tablecloths doilies are the
most acceptable linen gifts. The pretty
dolly design shown in the sketch is a
linen and point lace affair. So many
amateurs are skilled point lace makers
that no directions for fashioning the
trimming are required. The braid is
twisted to form the flowers and leaves,
and the figures are Joined by chain
stitch. Possibly the irregularity of the
pattern is it's chief charm, for 1t is
really not elaborate. A rose is made
the floral centerpiece, all the rest OF
the design radiating from that The
two plain, winglike parts at each side
Of the rose are linen.
Fancy centerpieces also make nice
holiday gifts. Almost any sort OF
muslin may be used to form a cen
terpiece If a coored slip be placed
beneath. Spotted muslin may be en-
broidered to represent daisy blossoms
by using the spot as the flower center
and working petals round it In outline.
This work is worth the trouble, as 1t
looks very effective at trifing cost A
couple of skeins of silk will suffice for
quite a large piece Of muslin, and any
color may be selected, the underslip
being Of the same tint or little deep,

Net darned with filoselle in running

will be equally pleasing. The special
make of muslin now sold at fancy
workshops is adapted for embroidery

silks, and as it Is moderate In cost II

gown. This gives a better effect than
the unwieldy flannel nightgown, which,
by the way, never launders well.

the pale shade to gun metal, is the
favorite color.
Very smart little suits are also made
of rough blue goods, the jackets box

Dives From a Bridge.

Burt Spriggs is not the only
bridge jumper. 1t was on the 4th
that Spriggs dived from the sus-
pension bridge at Guyandotte, and
yesterday his feat was being dis
cussed by number of young lads
from Guyandotte, when one of
them. Roy Bowers. lad yet in his
teens, remarked that he would dive
from the bridge for a dollar. His
pals soon raised the purse, and
quick as a flash young Bowers
mounted the massive wire cables
and in another instant was going
head first Inward the murky
waters, probably sixty feet below.
The spectators held their breath at
the daring feat and but few ex-
pected to see the lad rise. He soon
came to the surface of the water
and swan ashore without blem-
ish. He's willing to repeat the
feat any time he says as he thinks

There is great significance in
the action of a Philadelphia firm
which this week made abroad the
first purchase of full cargo of coal
to be used in this country, though
how great will not be fully realized
until the coal is placed on the
American market. Four thousand
tons are to be brought over from
Cardiff, Wales, where it was was
purchased at 81 so ton. Freight
age is contracted for at 81 30 a ton
and the duty is 81 cents, making a
total cost, to the importing firm, of
81 Al, at the wharf in Philadelphia.
What effect the importation of coal
in great quantities would have on
the strike remains to be seen. 1t
is fact, however, that, at present
prices, there is little or no chance
of loss and much of gain; as far as
the importers are concerned. In
addition, it is phase of the coal
business which has been given lit
tie, if any attention by either oper-
ators or strikere. Should coal i'm
portation be decided success, it
will mark the entrance into the
present labor troubles of a factor
which will prove troublesome to
both sides.

Among Lincoln's callers one
morning in '62 was stranger seek
ing both personal and official as.
sis'ance from the president, and
who brought with him some letters
landing his loyalty that bore the
signature of former governor of
Maryland. Lincoln received the
stranger with some warmth, that
was not chilled even when one of
the attaches, who had overheard
tho conversation, interrupt, Il to
explain that the signature must
have been forged, for the reason
that the Msrylander mentioned
had been dead several years. The
stranger showed guilt in every fea-
ture; but Lincoln, suffused with
that pity for the luckless that was
ever his, cheerily observed: "Ohl
never mind that-never mind it!
