To Make a Lingerie ParasoI

To make this very bewitching article.
a lingerie paras0l, II is necessary TO buy
first plain linen sunshade. Get 1t as
sheer as possible, and do not look at Il
too closely. 1t is not bought for dura-
bility. but for beauty. 1t will not wear
long, but it will be very pretty while it
does last.
Take the thin linen sunshade and
work into it a large bow knot of narrow
white silk ribbon. Spread out the loops
and ends and lay them fiat and en-
broider all around them. You will get
a very pretty effect, Now for the open
work part. You must cut holes in the
parasol and embroider around them. car
rying out an effect az OF English eyefet
embroidery. and you must trim the par
asol daintily
To cut holes In q parasol Is a daring
job, and the work must be carefully
done or 1t will not be successful. Those
who are not sure Of their skill can try
some other methods of embroidery, and
for this purpose there is the Chinese
method, which is very good.
Take piece of silk exactly the color
Of the sunshade and cut it into wide
band. Leave the edges raw, cut them In
scaIops. and then ernbroider along each
edge, or trim them with narrow fringe
the strip OF silk in a large openwork
pattern. And then. apply to the para
sol, sewing it all around the edge Final
ly cut out the pattern in the silk and
secure the edges so they will not fray
or pull or stretch. If done carefully this
will give a very intricate French effect.
Another very handsome lingerie para
sol Is made by purchasing d white linen
sunshade very thu and very sheer IN
quality, mounted upon a white enamel
frame and handle. Now, with some
handsome artificial yiOlets make a pat
tern upon each panel of the parasol and
embroider leaves and vines around the
violets so that they will look life-lfk,
This is one OF the pretty ways of max
ing q handsome summer sunshade ANY
color can be chosen, but white linen
makes up the prettiest of all and can
be worn with any gown.

WOULDN'T EAT THE FEATHERS.

Lady Yarmouth, who was Miss Alice
Thaw, of Pittsburg, finds some amusing
material among her husbands tenantry
One day, II is said, she was visiting a
sick child, when the mother began to
tell q pitiful tale of the difficulties she
encountered in getting on" and above
all, Of the trouble she had with Iodger
who. she said. ate her out of house and
home.
The first morning the man was here"
she complained, he ate boiled eggs very
greedily- Egg after egg he ate-three.
four, five, siX-and only the yolks of
them: the white he didn't bother at all.
When he dug his spoon into the seventh
egg my temper got the better of me.
Don't You ever eat the white of the
egg, sir2 I asked.
Certainly not. my good woman he
replied. The yolk is the bird and the
white the feathers. Surely you don I
want me to make a bolster of myself -

HOWE ITS PROBLEMS 4ND INTERESTS
WIFE CAN HELD
a Great Deal Toward Remaking Her
Husbands Character

How can woman, married to an
ordinary man. make him Ovec into
something extraordinary?
The trick is to find this out. All the
failures are the result of the round
pegs getting into square holes that
they were never intended to fill There
are plenty of preachers trying to save
souls that ought to be half-soling
shoes. There are plenty of starving
lawyers and doctors and newspaper
men who would be successes in bust
ness. and there are plenty Of bankrupt
business men who would be famous as
professional men.
Sometimes a mans occupation has
been thrust upon him by his parents
or has been an accident, and he has
lacked the enterprise to change, and
in such case-when a man is un-
successfully trying to do something
that he cant dot IS the wifes part
to get him out of it, and into some
thing for which he is fitted.
Then she should hold him there and
keep him at 1t with all the might of
her courage. 1t Is fateful for a wife
TO nag her husband, or for her to com
plain. or for her to let him find out
that she does not think him as clever
and capable as other men.
Every man desires to be hero in his
wife's eyes. He believes that he is,
and unless she is a born idiot she fos-
ters this Illusion. There is an innate
desire in all of US to live up 10 our
blue china, and to do what people ex-
pect of US.
If man knows that his wife expects
him to sGCceed, that she expects him to
stand at his post and do his duty, no
matter how hard it is. and that she
Will think him coward If he gives up
his job because the work was unpleas-
ant. or there were difficulties in the
way, it is easy to foreteu what the fu-
Jure of that man will be.
Before he married he may have been
one OF the men who were always get
ting discourag ged and who drifted about
from place to place trying to find some
occupation that had good pay and no
work in it, but when he finds out that
his wife regards the man who is 4
gutter as a craven weakIing he buckles
down TO the long, steady pull that in
the end always brings success.
There are precious few men so lazy
that they wouldn't rather work than
know that their wives thought them
towards.

D.'s of C. and Veterans at Huntsville
 Have Disagreement.


 Have Disagreement.
 Huntsville, April 16.-(Special)- Over the matter of inviting the Ala bama Division of Confederate Veterans to hold their annual reunion of 1906 in this city. the Daughters of the Con- federacy and members of Egbert Jones Camp, U. c. ", have had a disagree ment that may arouse considerable feeling between the two organizations. Some time ago letter was addressed to General Harrison, commander of the division, asking him to use his influ- ence to have the reunion brought to Huntsville and promising that if the invitation is accepted the city will belong to the veterans for the time. Without going into any discussion of the means of entertaining visitors nor knowing whether they can be comfortably cared for while here, the people of Huntsville have almost unan- imously expressed a desire to see the reunion held in this city.
 After the Daughters of the Confed eracy and the Chamber of Commerce had acted and oxpresSeG the desire to have the reunion here, members of the Egbert Jones camp of Veterans began to figure on the number of visitors and comrades the reunion would bring here and they concluded that there are not enough accommoda tions in the city for the great number of people who would come. Captain Daniel Coleman. commander of this camp, acting on the advice of several of his command. ad- dressed d letter recently to General Harrison, explaining things to him and stating that the people here are not prepared for an acceptance of the invi- tation of the Daughters of the Confed- eracy. The camp held a meeting dur ing the past week and several veterans raised a protest against the action of Captain Coleman. Several speeches were made and the question was brought to a focus when Captain Cole man offered his resignation as com mander. The camp refused to accept 1t and then passed a motion to uphold Captain Coleman. However, there is a considerable number of veterans who will sustain the Daughters of the Con- federacy in their action and do all in their power to get the reunion. The end of the matter Is not in sight.
