For openwork Medalllons.

A band of some eight or ten inches
of linen is foundation upon which
the loveliest of openwork medallions
are woven, and this may be inserted
as it is, or IL can be cut into sections
to fit the place for which il is In
tended. The linen frock carrying
such trimming is a work of art suited
to the most elaborate functions. And
again there are very pretty frocks Of
linen modestly trimmed in lace and
embroidered that make a charming
afternoon dress for almost any occa-
sion. The linen blouse which slips
over the head similar to the ones
worn by little boys and girls is quite
an addition to the wardrobe Of the
larger miss; In fact. many well grown
women have taken TO wearing this
simple form of dress for many out
door sports-golf. tennis and the
yacht. which call for such apparel.

All heads but Randalin's turned in

still too lethargic for curiosity; and
she found kind of dreamy content
In lying with her eyes upon the Ethel
ing's handsome face.
Presently, however. between her
and the comely apparition there in
tervened the brawny iigare of a yeo
man-soldier.
He said breathlessly. "Chief-before
you go to the King-be It known to
you that those horse-feet you heard
belong TO the mounts of Edric of
Mercia and his men-and he is with
King Edmund now!"
The three stolid old warriors got to
their feet with curses. The Etheling
bent forward to gaze incredulously in
to the mans face.
"Edric of Mercia2 With the King?
Why do you think so?"
Il was little way beyond the
Kings fire, watching fellow who was
showing how he could jump over the

II appeared that the Etheling had
recovered from his surprise, for now
he said steadily. Il will not believe

my own eyes have witnessed il, l will

was starting forward a second time.

upon his shoulder.

LOCUST PLAGUE IN EGYPT.
The Invasion Of Insects Is Very Sc.
rious One.

The Invasion Of Insects Is Very Sc.
rloua One.
There is every probability of the
plague of locusts which has now de-
scended on Egypt proving a very Sc
rious one. Great anxiety is felt for
the young cotton and other crops.
The locusts first arrive in compar-
atively small numbers, but they null
tiply very rapidly as soon as they
reach the edge Oh cultivation. With
in ten days the young insects, though
still wingless. advance in a solid pha-
lacx sometimes two or three feet deep
and several mites in length.
1t is essential that at this stage
they should be destroyed, as it would
be impossible to cnech the ravages OF
flying locusts.
The method adopted during the last
visitation, that of 1890. was to dig
deep trenches, sometimes miles In
length, between which and the ad
vanclng swarm huge heaps of straw
were laid and fired. Any locusts
which succeeded in escaping the
flames and smoke fell into the
trenches, where they we're destroyed
by natives under the supervision OF
English instructors.
1t is a providential habit of young
locusts never to turn back or aside
when once started, no matter what
obstacles are put in their way.-Cairc

Some oreat Russian Wars.

The present war is the fourth upon
which Russia has entered within the
last three-qua-ters OF century. II
involved an expenditure of 100000
900 and a loss OF 10000 men. That
was in 1928. Twenty-six years later
came the Crimean. in which France
and Great Britain took a hand. 1t
was spread over 1886, and cost 81
525. 900. 600 and 4s5.oo0 men. Then In
1877 followed a further fight with
Turkey. in which esso.ooo. 900 was ex-
pended and $50. 900 men disposed OF.
Russia is said to have an availabls
war fund OF $500. .000. 900

slayer! Memory entered like poison
to spread burning through every vein.
Her father-Fridtjof- Jotun-the
battle Her ears were dinned with
terrible noises; her eyes were scared
by terrible pictures. She crushed her
hands against her head, but the sound
came from within and would not be
stilled. She buried her face in the
leaves, but the visions pressed faster
before her. Helpless in their grip,
she tossed to and fro in agony-to and
fro.
Though IL was so tortured that she
could not tell II from her waking
thoughts. sleep must have come to
her; for when at last she reached the
point where she could endure IL no
longer and struggled up, painting. to
her elbow, to try to recall herself by
a sight of those about her, she found
that the hum Of excited voices was
stilled, and the silence throbbed with
the deep breathing of sleepers.
Almost at her feet, the EthelIng
was stretched out In his cloak, mo.
tionless as the fallen tree. Her face
was slowly relaxing when, q second
time, memory betrayed her. Just so,
she recollected, Leofwine's son was
lying, not a hundred yards away.
The next instant. she had thrown
herself down with terror-widened eyes,
and was trying to bury her face in
the leaves. while the tongueless mouth
of every shadowy shape seemed to
shrek above her.
"Odin sends you revenge!"-"It is
the will of odin that has drawn you
together!"-"Would you become like
the girl with the necklace ?"-"Are
you coward. that you do not prefer
to die in good repute rather than live
in the shame of neglecting your duty?"
She flung up her haggard face in
appeal. No, NO 1 am not a coward, "
her spirit cried within her. Il was
brave in the battle. IL is not death

The grlnning shadows mouthed at
her. "You have not dared to be a

not dared TO be a woman, so you must
dare TO be a man"
A night wind shuddered through
the trees, and the lowering shades
seemed TO hiss in her ear.
Coward! Traitorl Nithing, Do
you not get afraid that you will ex.
perience the wrath OF the dead ?
Listen! Is that the wind rustling
the leaves? Or is it."
A gasp burst from the white lips,
and the die was cast. While the cold
drops started on her pain-racked body,
she dragged herself to her knees and
fumbled with trembling hands about
her belt. For an instant, something
like a moonbeam glimmered amid the
shadow; then her lips closed conyul.

The New Handkerchief Kimonas.

Kimonas made from large, square
handkerchiefs have aiken a new twist
this season. Instead of brilliant ban
danas and the ld-fathioned combina-
tions of dark blue AMI white, or vivid
red and white, the most delicate col
orings are seen.
The center of the handkerchief
shows delicate pink, blue, green, yell
low or lavender, with dainty border
in pale Persian colors or Dresden eff
fects, with the color of the center pre-
dominating in the conventional or
floral design. Another difference in
the style lies in the fact that the
points of the handkerchiefs are
brought to the neck line and then
turned over to form a small, shawl
shaped collar.

the waist OF some thinner fabric. Silk,
wool, linen and cotton are all so used
and all can be rendered charming, but
nothing is lovelier than the linen and

The waist consists of fitted lining,

the full sleeves, and the bolero, which
is quite separate and is made with

with a regulation stock. The bolero is
exceedingly simple and is laid in out

ANTS THAT SPIN WEBS.
Keen Scientist Notes Specimen OF
Unusual intelligence.


Unusual intelligence.
One of the most interesting obser-
vations made in ant life. says Andrew
Wilson, the scientist, was that which
showed that a certain red ant has
evolved the habit of web-spinning.
The ways of this species were noted
in the botanic gardens at Peradeniya.
Ceylon, by f. G. Green. The extraor'
dinary part Of the story is that these
ants used larvae as their spinning ma
chimes, the larvae employing their silk
threads, used to make the cocoons, as
their sewing machines. Mr.. Green
took some leaves which had been
sewed together by the ants and un-
fastened the stitches. The separated
edges were drawn together by the
ants and then an hour afterward the
larvae or grubs, held in the mouths OF
the ants, were seen TO be passed back
ward and forward across the gaps
made in the leaves. The movements
of the grubs were duly directed by the
ants and the silk threads spun by the
mouths of the larvae soon repaired
the defects in the leaves.
