THE BABY'S PARAS0L
The Covers Come Ready to Attach
to the Frame.

When the. spring days come. and
the baby carriage or go-cart is
brought from the storeroom, 1t will
be necessary to think of the parasol
for protecting baby's eyes. Many
mothers no doubt know that dainty
parasol slips can be purchased for less
than they can be made for at home,
so they struggle with the problem OF
covering old foundations.
These covers come ready to attach
to the framework of any parasol, and
are well made. A representative one
is of point desprit and has double
f1ounces of the same. Each f1ounce is
edged with three rows of white satin
baby ribbon.
The fad for Madeira or cut-out
work has also invaded the baby para
sol realm, land these covers can be
purchased in any large store.
For the mother who has time to do
the work at home, there could be no
more pleasant task than to embroider
dainty piece of sheer India linen for
parasol slip.
After the design is stamped the pat
tern is run with embroidery cotton.
In the open-work portion Of the de-
sign the material is partly cut away
with sharp scissors, enough of the
fabric being left to give requisite Arm
invariably used throughout in the real
Madeira work, but some women pre-
fer to use the buttonhole stitch in the
open-work portions, as it is simple
to do and is strong.
One mother made an entire suit Of
cut-work for her layette. Even the
flannel sacque, the long kimona and
the shoes were embroidered in this
manner. The shoes were made OF
heavy white louisine silk, and were
lined with pale blue silk, which show
ed through the cut-work. The shoe
was then joined in the back with the
wrong side out, after which it was
overhanded to a soft white kid sole.
The small girl as well as her broth
er must have at least one sailor suit
with a patriotic insignia on the blouse.
Here are a few hints for the mother
who has never done embroidery OF
this sort.
After the design is made. place over
it a piece of tissue paper or tracing
muslin, which should be accurately
marked. Make of this a pattern OF
cardboard which must be perfect, II
symmetry of design is desired. rms
light weight cardboard is then stitched
to the material and the embroidery
done over II in raised effect. Paste-
board can only be used on fianneis.
Papier mache letters, monograms,
stars, flags, anchors and other designs
can be purchased for this purpose.
These are pierced with holes through
which the needle readily passes. VI
binary paper is often used on wetsn
fabrics. as even this thin substanSS
gives the raised effect and serves 10
an outline.

are imitation turquoises. amethysts
with emeralds set with rhinestones,
which look like brooches instead of
buttons. 1t is quite a fad to use one
of these large buttons on each side
of the collar in front, to give the lit
tie smart touch so much desired. These
buttons come in all shapes and sizes,
some of which are as large as sill
yer dollar.
Brass bullet buttons are also popu-
lar and are extremely modish on
black, brown or navy blue suit. They
have the advantage of being mex
pensive, but will not be so exclusive
as the jeweled buttons.

ular is made of a Persian embroider-
ed band about an inch wide. 1t is very
long, reaching nearly TO the waist
line, and fastens in the back like a
stock, so it does not have to be tied
each time. These ties also have
stocks attached made of the same ma
terial.
The newest way of utilizing maline
for the neck, and one which takes the
place of the rosette at the back of the
collar, is stiff-looking bow which is
worn in front.
Some of the new wells have a MORE
silk border. A pale, violet dotted one
had violet MORE band all around it
about an inch wide, stitched with white
silk thread. Blue wells with large red
dots, and vice versa, and chiffons in
shaded effects, with china silk hem
stitched borders, will be used to defy
spring zephyrs.
Ruchings are now assuming the
shape Of rufus. which are high in the
back, and grow narrower toward the
front. They are edged with baby rib
bon, and are side pleated. The tenden-
cy is toward the Medici effect, and it
is predicted that this collar will be
seen before the season is far advanced.
Dainty colored bordered handker-
chiefs will be used with colored
gowns this summer. Pale blues,
pinks, and even reds are fashionable.
Embroidered Isle or silk stockings
to match the gown must be worn by
the summer girl who wishes to be up

some are so big as to seem more
heart-breakingly desirable than all
others. But wise maids prefer the
chains with small stones, and few
ones at that, for when strung upon
white metal these have a real look.
A Swagger Chain.

ing peacock eyes. This is the gem
of the seasons collection, If II does
cost SO, and it would set off most
smartly a black cloth dress.
But with this chain once more the
long-ago must be touched upon. for
far back the rich, If sinister peacock's
eye marked many bits of jewelry.
Belt buckles showed them, rings,
brooches and bracelets. straw and
feather quilts for hats. And to-day,
with the exception of the bracelet,
similar details display the peacocks

furniture stores point to economy of
purse as we'll as space.
One of the most useful pieces of
three different aliases, each one of
which can be easily assumed in the
twihkling of an eye. It's most digni-
fed mission is to stand against the
wall of the hall or living room as a
settee. When in this position no one
would ever dream that an ironing
board and a card or library table are
combined in this substantial looking
settee, but such is really the case.
AS a settee it looks like any other
hall seat, except that at each end the
oval back extends several inches be-
the wrist, and the back is pulled for
ward over the arm rests and a green
leather covered table, for reading or
playing cars. appears.
When this handy board" is needed
as an ironing table a small lever is
turned at the sides which raises the
top and brings it to a more convenient
hight.
Another arrangement is a large
weathered oak chair which fits in a
corner of the den or living room. The
back of this chair has a door which,
when opened, reveals a tea service
with all the paraphernalia. For a
mans den where cigars and wines are
not desired to be in evidence, this
easy chair helps to solve the problem
in lieu of a cellarette.
AS to cellarettes, there are plenty of
these accessories which masquerade
as telephones and grandfather's clocks.
When the receiver of the telephone is
taken down the door flies open, and
nimble fingers do the rest.
A handy writing desk, which may
be purchased or made for a song, is
simply board twenty by thirty-six
inches. Two screws in the back of
the top and two brass chains suspends
it from the ceiling against the wall. A
brass hook on each side and a brass
chain attached to the wall will let it
down. and hold it in position when in
use.
Another writing desk is made on
the principle of a table. 1t is of
weathered oak, and plain. The center
is divided lengthwise by a partition
about eighteen inches high, each side
of which is fitted up with compart-
ments for stationery. stamps, pens and
blotters. Two persons can thus write
at the desk at the same time, each
without disturbing the other.
Gown boxes are shown with all the
paraphernalia for upholstering in a
few moments, including the pillows.

Dainty GirdIe of Brown Velvet.
A dainty girdle of brown velvet rib
pOliy u ne worn WIN a champagne
cloth costume, was finished at the
back with four long loops Of the rib
bon and two long ends. Two of the
loops are caught at the top of the Cir
die with buckles of dull gold, shading
to copper, and a similar buckle is at
tached where the loops and ends meet,
thus giving a V-shaped effect to the
loops which turn up.
Another dainty girdle is high in the

front. 1t Is built from Dresden ribbon
in softest tints of pale green and pink,
and caught at the front with ring
crocheted with green silk. Smaller
rings, five in number, are used at the
center of the back and serve as a
starting point for five bands of inch
and quarter ribbon, to gradually ia
per down to a single width at the
front.
Lace for Vests and JabOts.
For the vests and jabots used in
dressy costumes, lace seems to be pre-
ferred above all other fabrics, but for
more severe effects, semi-tailored Gre
ations, rich and variegated embroidery
is employed. This comes as high as
twenty-five dollars yard, and a very
little is enough to give a certain touch
of up-to-dateness to a costume.
Some idea of the colors used in these
embroideries is gained from the COM
bination employed in a travelling dress

Princess Alice of Albany, a reproduce

no one knew of the arrest, and on
that account nothing in the way
of mob violence was done.
The officers and people were
surprised at the quiet manner in
which Flowers gave himself up,
as they expected considerable
trouble in making the arrest.
Beverly Flowers, a Bristol (W.

killed his brother-in-law, Will
Clayton, Saturday night, and
fled to the woods. A posse; head
ed by the Salem police, followed
the man to his home and succeed
ed in making the arrest without
trouble, much to their surprise,
as Flowers had always said he
would die with his boots on. He
was taken to the Lewis county
jail at Weston, owing to Harrison
county's jail at Clarksburg, being
insecure.

The many friends of William
E. Kirchner, of this city, will be
pleased to know that he has been
made the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for Sheriff of Ty-
Ter county. Mr.. Kirchner is one
of the "old guard" Of the county
and is in every way worthy Of the
high honor. For many years his
face has been a familiar one in
Democratic conventions, and he
has ever been a tireless worker IN
the cause of his chosen party. He
has never held a public office, and
this is the first time he has ever
consented to the use of his name.
1t would, therefore, be hand
some compliment and a manifest
ly proper evidence of apprecia-
ton of the services of one who
has always had on harness of po-
litical warfare when the. battles
were on, to crafty his present am
bition at this time. He is one OF
the best known and highly re-
spected men in the county, and it
is believed that it is only neces-
sary to mention the fact of his
nomination and his present am
bition to at once enlist sufficient
interest in his candidacy to insure
him his full party vote. 1t is safe
to say that few men are better
