E
A set of them prepared tomorrow
morning would add immensely to the
patriotic suggestion of the Indepen-
dence Day luncheon or dinner table.
The designs were purposely made
very simple in order to render them
available for tracing.
With the aid of sheet of tracing
paper and sheet of white C tinted
cardboard, an entire set could be ac-
complished in couple of hours.
They may be used in pen and ink
without color or tinted with water
color, according to fancy.
Or you can try the new applique
treatment. That is very new and is
great fun. For it morsels of colored
paper or cloth are cut out and fitted
into the design so as to give an effect
of fabric, pelt, etc.

card representing her fight from her

THE LUCKY ONES
Among the middle and working classes

women and girls without dowrieS who
are so fortunate as not to have been
born in society take up medicine, art,
music and teaching, read what they
like, see what plays they fancy and
actually receive men callers-on their
at home days, that Is. The year 1900,
which saw $4,000 ladies' committed to
the conventual life, found $4,000 women,
most of them, of course, unmarried,
teaching in the public schools-only
10000 less than the number of men pro-
fessors and teachers. The career of a
French schoolmarm in a state school
may not be brilliant, nor yet the fulfil
ment of youthful dreams-it certainly
cannot be included among get-rich-quick
scnemes-but 1t is useful, sufficiently
dignified, and usually happy and con-
tented.

DAMAGE WAS HEAVY.
Property Loss in North ST. Louis
Place at $15O.OOO.

st. Louis, Mo, Aug. 20.-A more thor
ough m of the damage done by
the tornado which descended suddenly
late yesterday was made today by bus
mess men and others interested inprop-
erty in that vicinity.
In addition to the loss of one life and
the injury to more than $50 persons,
the damage wrought by the storm is
now estimated at $3.50, 900. More than
half of that amount was done to man
ufacturing plants, the remainder being
divided between owners of residence
property, more than 100 houses being
more or less seriously damaged.
On the east side, in the Illinois towns
of Venice and Granite City, the damage
is also greater than at first supposed.
Two lives were lost in that vicinity and
many property owners suffered losses
running from $4,000 down to $50.
After more than IL hours of steady
work by large gangs of men employed
by the telephone and electric light
companies, the streets where the win
storm was felt most severely are still
Uttered with debris from wrecked build
ings and hundreds of feet of telegraph
and telephone wires.
Traffic was resume on the oadw
street car line today after having been
suspended for more than Is hours, al
though the sides of the street are still
lined with wires and telephone cables
and the sidewalks cluttered with
telegraph poles and other
wrecKaRe.

miles off Lao Tieshan last night. An
ofhcer from the destroyer stayed on
board for forty minutes conversing
with the Japanese consul to New

heavy occasionally that conversation
was difficult. The Japanese explained
that they were engaged shelling the
Russian positions with the utmost Wig

course the firing was at its heaviest
and it was believed took the form of
