WOMEN WEAVE BEAD CHAINS.
Have Small Looms In Their Houses
With Which to Do the Work.

An entirely new amusement for
women, and one which promises to
have a great run, is the weaving Of
bead chains. There are small Apache
beadwork looms which come for the
purpose, and in one day a woman can
make as pretty a bead belt or chain
as may be desired. Chains have been
a fad for some time. They began to
be popula, with the vogue Of the
lorgnette chain-usually, as it first
appeared, a trinket of considerable
value, one of the precious metals set
with tewels. Gun metal, which is
costly enough not to become common,
though it is initiated, followed, and is
still well liked; teakwood beads came
more recently, and with these a great
variety of glass bead chains which,
having pretty color combinations and
bright shades, have been much worn.
Jet chains, too, have been popular,
and there are recent designs in gun
metal and copper with rhinestones
that are beautiful. With all of these,
and the growing popularity within the
last few years of everything relating
to the American Indians, long, narrow
woven chains Of the Indian beadwork
have been we'll liked, as we'll as belts
and watch fobs and broad pieces Of
beadwork used for vestings for gowns.
Small looms, simple, but more cen
venient than the primitive loom Of the
of the Indian woman have now been
introduced. and every woman can do
her own weaving. There is a fascina-
tion in this work, for any combination
OF color can be obtained; the chains
and belts are delightful to wear with
summer gowns. They can be made
with but little trouble and less ex-
pense, and a girl can have belts and
chains to match every ribbon.
A weaving outfit costs So, and in
cludes the small loom, a spool of lin

es of beads of different colors, mate
rial enough to make a couple of belts
2G inches long and an inch wide. Di-
few minutes instruction is all tht 10
necessary, for the work is simple.
Two spools on a framework with
clamp between and plug at one end
form the little loom. The threads are
cut the proper length, tied together,
and held in place by the clamp, then
brought over the spools, plugged in
plate at the ether end, held snugly
with each thread in a groove. and the
warp is ready for weaving in the
beads.
There are really wonderful colors
to be gound in the beads. There are
40 odd different shades, soft tones of
rose shading up to deep rich reds,
green's Of many hues, blue beads,
brown, gold. black and white beads,
and the crystal. all small, round beads,
but Carrying slightly in size, so that
one may make a coarser or finer piece

In getting extra supplies a regular
bunch of beads will cost 25 cents, and
there ar enough beads in 1t to make
a chain or a belt. A spool of linen
thread for the warp will cost Is cents.
and a paper Of twenty-five weaving
needles the same price. Different
widths can be made on the loom, and
a girl can make a chain three beads
wide one day and belt three inches
wide the next.-New York Times.

And yet twas but an hour ago We walked

But, living still, or dying,
Glad that we walked Loves way,
Though the song drifts into silence, and the

THE CALL COMES
TO REV. DR., KERR

sideration-Is Believed He
viii Accept.

Resulting from the action taken by
the congregation on Wednesday night,
the Rev. Dr. r. P. Kerr, pastor OF the
First Presbyterian Church OF this city
yesterday received formal call 10 the
pastorate OF the Boundary Avenue Pres
byterian Church. OF Baltimore.
AS suggested before DR.. Kerr has sim
ply taken the matter under consideration
He announces no plans for the iuture,
and will perhaps not do SO. One of the
other OF the churches involved will be the
first to hear, and from this cnurch tho
news will come AS yet 1t may be stated
that DR. Kerr has indicated nothing y
either Of the churches. He has come to
no decision In reference to tho Fall.
The feeling that he will leave Richmond
is growing. The people Of the First
Church have as yet made no move but
It Ia merely a question OF time when they
will take some decided step. Already they
are no little aroused at the prospsc: Of
losing their beloved pastor. An organized
movement to keep him here will doubt
less be set afoat before very long.
The church to which DR.. Kerr IS called
is, as stated before. large and inhu-
entail one. It offers salary OF $500 q
year with the use Of manse. and an
annual vacation Of eight weeks, It has O
membership Of between four ard five
hundred. The membership of the Rich.
mond church Is about FIVE hundred and
