PAINTING LACE A FAD.
Artistic Girls Have Made the DiscOv-
cry That Color Adds to Beauty
of Fabric.

The fad for painting on lace gives a
chances to the girl who has more artistic
ideas than she has skill with her brush.
A certain part of the design of the
lace is selected, and the color is lightly
applied. Care and lightness of touch are
all necessary for the amateur to succeed
as well as the artist. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to bring out" the
roses, and violets. and the different
wreaths, and garlands which appear in
the laces which adorn everything.
A white silk parasol with lace medal
lions can be made much more beautiful
by adding color to it in this way. A
simple little gauze fan with lace motifs
set in becomes artistic if the tiny flowers
are painted. A pair of pink silk hose with
lace insets is worth double the price IL
the small sprays of arbutus in the de-
sign are just touched with pink.
Even the wach laces are painted in
stead of working out the design in col
ored cotton, as is also done on both lace
end embroidery. The painting is far
less tedious process, and for thin gowns
is a great deal more beautiful.
To make it practical for trimming
wash gowns. the girls at the art insti-
tute use the little package dyes, which
are indellible, instead of paints, for
their colors. and for mixer, gasoline is
used. adding little at time, as fast as
it evaporates. This makes color which
is heavy enough for anything so trans

The sad news of the death of Ella
May (WiggetD, wife of Elmer |. Gray

gloom over this place and neighboring
towns.
Mrs. Gray was born at Hatley, Que,
April 5, 1877. Her parents came to
make their home in Vermont in 1885.
December ID, 1891, she was confirmed
by the Bishop of Quebec and became a
member of St. Paul's Church, Stanhope,
Que. June 3, 1901, she was united
in marriage to Elmer Gray of Canaan,
and the following September they moved
to Northampton, where they resided UNI
til this last summer, when Mrs. Gray
returned to her former home and spent
a part of the summer with her parents
at Averill, and the latter part with her
husbands people in Canaan. September
30 son was born and then their happi-
ness seemed complete. October 26 Mrs.
Gray returned to her home in North
ampton, accompanied by her father, Mr.
Wiggett, and her husbands sister, Geor-
gina Gray, in glowing spirits and appar-
emily in good health. She remained in
this condition a few days only, and then
became daily sufferer to severe head
aches. A physician was summoned and
finding her nervously i'll with heart and
lung trouble advised change to her
old home in Vermont. Mr.. Gray S
mother went at once to Northampton to
accompany her home, and Thursday,

i'll to proceed farther that night. She
was taken to the Canaan House, Dr.
Ward was called, but no earthly aid
could then save her, and Sunday evening

son, Ashley Lucas, was enrolled as a
member of Christ's flock, the Rev. f. p
