FAvoRlTE TOWEL MATERIAL
Huckaback Is Now the Thing Some
New Ideas in Napkins
and Doi1ies.

Patterns In linens vary each year, and
fashion is as rigid in this regard as in
matters of dress. Perhaps this accounts
for the fact that the American woman
does not spend so much consideration on
the contents of her linen chest as does
her sister across the water. She prefers
to have less changes in this line and to
purchase more frequently in order to
keep up to date, says the Washington
Star.
Take towels. Not long ago damask
headed the list for favors, and the woman
who could display pile of glossy da-
mask towels with long fringed ends was
considered fortunate. Now the buck
aback towel is the towel of fashion,
probably because it dries quicker and is
thus more practical.
The hucIa5ack towels come q inches
wide for best use, which is much wider
than the ones to be seen even year ago.
They are fine in quality. and some are
hemstitched and lace bordered.
Combinations of huckaback and
damask are also to be seen Sometimes
there is a medallion of renaissance lace
In the center, an insertion of the same
and a hemstitched border edged with re-
Nuisance lace
There is marked tendency, however,
to favor plain towels. Many women ar
que that hemstitching is common, and
that it pulls out quickly. The same can
be said OF drawnwork, which is pretty,
but far from durable.
A simple finish for towels. which is
finding much favor, is the buttonhole
scalloped border. Other towels are
shown in the new cut-out embroidery.
but these are too expensive for every.
day use.
Hand-embroidered towels are also to
De seen among the choicest linens.
Ihese are worked with white linen floss
and show such blossoms as the sham
rock and clover Colored bordered tow
els are no longer considered in good
taste, although plain white ones some
times show tiny colored embroidered
blossoms on the surface of the border.
Much individuality is displayed in
marking towels. Interlaced letters are
! used in preference to the monogram
BLOCK and script letters, as well as sin
! gle IetIers, are also in vogue, and. as
formerly, the marking is done at the
end of the towel.
The crest makes a beautiful mark

is about two inches in size, instead OF

with the towels. Sheets are worked on
the outside upper corner, or exactly in
the middle of the hem The former
is more practical for Identification.

Napkins, of course, come to match the
table cloths. Napkin holders Of linen
embroidered IN pure white have seal

lies are round as well as square, and
are of Point d'Venice, Cluny and Irish

embroidery, one just inside the center
of the scloth, while the other is near the
hem.

DRESS FOR THE BoUDoIR.
Simple and Dainty Costumes for In.
door Wear-Pretty Sacques,
Kimonas, Etc

The simple Japanese kimona is in
greater favor than ever for neglige
wear, because of its ease and grace and
the quickness with which it can be ar
ranged or discarded. Many beautiful
crepes are shown in the shops for this
purpose, reports the Washington Star.
These can be made UP quickly and in
extensively. or, If desired, fashioned
out of dainty silks. The boudoir maid
who affects kimonas usually wears the
heelless toilet slipper made out of a
piece of the faEric in her kimona.
The short kimona is also much IA
vored, and is usually made of cotton
or silk crepes or of handkerchiefs. Red
and blue bandanas and white handker-
chiefs with colored borders are favor
tie for this neglige More fullness is
required for the kimona than the comb
ing jacket.
The strictly Grecian costume of
white, made to fall very full in gath
ers, with cord and tassel arrangement
at the neck or waist, is another style
which finds high favor. Sometimes the
material is draped to fall from the left
shoulder or from both in soft folds,
held by knot or buckle. China and
India silks, crepe de chimes and cotton
crepes are desirable for such robes.
! For the thoroughly modern boudoir
maid a bewildering display of materi-
ais is offered-white and delicately tint
| ed chiffons, mousselines, gauzes and
point d'esprits. A liberty silk robe is
shown in opal shades, with an opales-
cent sequin girdle to secure it at the
waist line.
Rufied and plated ruchings have in
vaded the realm of the boudoir gown.

TRANSPORTING LIQUID AIR.
Receptacles of Special Construction
Necessary in Order to Pre-.
vent Explosion.

When a comparatively cheap process
of liquefying air was devised by. Linde,
Hampson and .TripIer and while yet
there seemed to be a chance that this in
teresting article might find practical
use. the question of transporting it fo-
a considerable distance acquired impor-
tance,. says scientific exchange The
facility with which the liquid evaporated
made storage for any considerable time
impracticable. 1t was found that if the
vessel containing It were made absolute
1y tight it would explode. Hence the
mouth of the receptacle was closed only
loosely. Great attention was given to
constructing the rails of the vessel in
such way that they would transmit Its
tie heat inward from the outside. Thus
evaporation was reduced to a minimum.
A small part of a given quantity would
often remain fully day after being put
up for shipment
An Improvement on this procedure is
reported from Europe In Germany
considerable quantities Of liquid air are
still prepared for scientific and expert
mental purposes. According to con-
sular report from Berlin, test was re-
Gently made which gave encouraging re-
suits One morning two quarts of liquid
air were delivered to the railroad there,
packed in a manner specially adapted
for this purpose, for transportation to
Geneva, Switzerland. The shipment ar
rived in Geneva in five days, and after an
additional delay Of half day it was de-
livered to the chemical laboratory of the
University of Geneva. The glass YES

contained one-fourth of quart thereof

It is stated that this was the Longest
| distance over which this curious liquid
has been transported, and the result is

to reach Geneva from Berlin; the same
distance in the United States would not

Daring HoId-up Of Pas

Thought to Have Secured Large

Pear Mouth, Mont, June 1.-Two
masked men held up the North Coast
limited. Northern Pacific passenger
train. eastbound, at about a mile and
half east of this station. during the
night. After bringing the train to
stop they dynamited the express car.
blew open the safe and secured all of
its contents. The amount secured is not
known, but it Is believed to be Large.
After blowing out the rear lights of
the train the two men disappeared.
The hold-up was similar to the one
which occurred two years ago at near
ly the same spot and in which En-
gineer ONeal lost his life The robbers
boarded the tender of the engine at the
Bear Mouth water tank. After having
remained quiet until the train had
gone one mile and half they crawled
up over the coal, covered Engineer
Wade and Fireman Reed with their
guns.
The train was stopped and the en-
gineer and fireman were marched back
to the express car. The express mes,
senger was commanded to open the
door, but refused. The engineer was
then compelled to light a stick of dy-
Mantle placed against the car. The
explosion completely wrecked the door
and the engineer and fireman were
compelled to precede the robbers into
the car. When admission was gained
the robbers at once directed their at
tention TO the strong box. Five sticks
Of dynamite were placed on top of the
safe and ignited. but the force of the
charge was insufficient and another
one with larger capacity was used.
The second charge blew out the. side
of the car and threw the safe 40 feet.
After rifing the safe Of it's valuables
the robbers commanded the train crew
to remain quiet and no harm would
be done them. While this conversation
was going on one of the robbers ac-
cidentally struck the engineer with
his revolver and in apologizing called
him by name, indicating a possibility
that the robbers may be railroad men.
The crow was escorted back to thu

signal lights on the last car and dis
appeared in The darkness. Meanwhile
