oughly in keeping with the French character Of the
pattern 1t is simply fine little scallop and eyeets
embroidered around neck and armholes by hand,
with narrow ribbon run through the eyelets
II that is much work, roll the edge, ana
whip on d lace beading, and a simple little lace
edge to that But the scaloping, especially IL you
repeat il in the other pieces to make a set, Is
like the French sets than anything else.
Three yards of material thirty-eight inches wide
will be needed if ruffie is used, and the ruffle does

half yards of ribbon, with soft finish embroidery
cotton, Will be required for the finishing.

Only Too True.

The writer of the following ar
ticle which appeared in Sundays
State Journal, hit the nail square,
~ on the head when he said:
If the business men of the
country towns stood up for their
local editor as faithfully as the ed
itors stand up for them, the deal
ers in automobiles and other I'M
necrssaries that none but the
wealthy can afford t. indulge in,
would do a largely increased busi-
ness. In every issue of the paper
the average editor tells his read
ers how much better it is to buy
their goods of the local dealers
than to send to Chicago or else
where. When a travelling sales
man comes along and sells the
people something they don't want
at twice what the local dealer
would charge for the same thing,
the editor takes his pen in hand
and makes the event a text for
solemn warming. He runs "ex-
posures" of the mail order bust
ness as continued stories. But
maybe the local dealers buy his
advertising space, and maybe they
don't. The editor is now and then
heard to complain that the groc-
eryman whose battle he fights ev-
en- uses letter heads furnished him
at a reduction by an axle grease
manufacturer, with whom he
shares the printed space at the
top"
