Pretty BedSpread for
Dainty Girls Room

A bedspread that is rich looking.
washes well and is easy TO make may
be evolved out Of a hemstitched linen
sheet. two rolls of merceriZed linen
floss, four yards of torchon lace edging.
four yards of torchon lace insertion and
six tOrchon medalliOns or squares, or
three medaIHons and three squares. The
spread is supposed to cover the entire
bed. so only the sides will need the
finest Of the edging and insertion, the
latter being sewn on two or three
inches from the edge, and then the linen
cut away from underneath, it leaving 1t
transparent.
The medallions and squares should
first be pinned on in an irregular way.
so as to show to the best advantage,
and then sewn and the material cut
away beneath. All the edges should be
hemmed on the wrong side and feather
stitched with the floss on the right side.
To correct the medallions and give the
spread the effect OF allover embroidery
a running pattern of a vine, with leaves
and flowers, can be lightly sketched
on the linen with a pencil, or transferred
, from pattern with a pointed knitting
needle. the impression 70 be penciled
afterward. The vine IS frst outlined in
darning stitch, and afteTward in a slant
ing oVer-and-Over stitch, TO give the eff
feet of a rope.

Simple Smock Dresses
For Our Lille Women

Charming little gowns are sold in
London for the fOur-year-oId boy or
girl, it makes no difference which. The
NOkels in the rural districts apparently
nave furnished the pattern FOR these
smOck frOCks. for such they are. Not
only the yoke proper, as you might eX-
pect. but the upper part OF the shout
der and arm is covered by the shocked
muslin or lightweight linen, whichever
be used. This gives straight across
line. Eight rows of shocking usually
achieve this effect which Is very good,
and it gives a great deal Of fullness
below this line.
Below the shocking the little gown
hangs down perfectly straight and full.
At the bottom is fve-inch hem, which
can be let down the childs legs
lengthen.
The sleeves are full and are neatly
gathered into a wristband with double
row of shocking to set Ii off. Below
thiG is n small turn-back cuff, although
the sleeve effect would have been bet
ter without IL.
There IS a narrow turn-bdck collar,
with deep notch In the middle of the
front set on the neckband, which also
is not an Improvement.

makers smOck would look better In q

Walk out half way across the room, en-
deavoring TO preserve the same upright
position; then walk back and see
whether the straightness will be kept.
This is excellent practice and induces
a straight carriage In time.

from waist To hip. Between the bottom

The cpaulettes on the shoulders and

AN OPEN LETTER

This is a chance Of a lifetime, and IN
our fifty eight years Of established bust
ness we have never before had to resort
to any such sacrifice. But the Baltimore
fire has placed our parent house in such
a position that We have got to have
money, and any sacrifice that we have
got to make is better than carrying
over the double stock.
The Washington times., 1904-04-06

discount of IS per cent will be
allowed on all solid 14kt. gold chains,
solid gold studs, solid gold rings, clocks,
cut glass, quadruple plated silverware,
umbrellas, opera glasses, ladies auto
mobile bags and purses.
And a discount of Is per cent will
be allowed on all sterling silverware,
making the price less than 30 cents per
ounce, something unheard Of before.
Our collection of diamond rings is
unquestionably the largest of any
jewelry establishment south Of New
York, and very few in New York can
compare with the stock in size.

To Our Patrons:

we feel It due from us to publish word or
thanks to our friends and patrons for their whole
SOuled, generous response to our call to help us
out OF the difficulty in which the Baltimore fire
threw our Baltimore house
Unquestionably you have bought from us the
greatest amount Of goods that has ever been sold.
by one house in so short time south of New
York. Purchases have registered up to nearly
SlOO,OOO-and We sincerely thank you
We are bound to still continue this wholesale
sacrifice of goods and are compelled to make its
scope broader than ever-embracing all the new
goods We had ordered made up for the spring
trade and also the last importation of Diamonds.
Our import order for these Diamonds was placed
last November. They have just been taken from
the custom houSe-and must be sold at forced
sale to meet our obligations The Baltimore house
cannot help us out for obvious reasons In the
parlance of the day, there's nothing doing in
Baltimore. LuXurieS are a drug on the market
where necessities are such an important conSidera-
ton.

duction that has prevailed right along
