A Pottery Story.

A squaw left her two boys to care
for her papoose while she worked in
side the tent. She did not notice
what the boys were doing with the
papoose until it began to cry The
squaw was unable to find the mis-
creants, until their distant voices told
her they were down by the river Not
coming when she called them, the
squaw found that they were unwilling
ly disobedient. Their feet were stuck
in the wet clay of the river bank
With great difficulty she got them
back to the tent. Then they all laugh
ed at their footprints in the clay, for
deep holes remained wherever they
had stepped.
The band of Indians left camp be-
fore sunrise the next morning. The
squaw with her boys and papoose
We're soon far away During the hot
summer that followed the same band
returned to the river they had left
The two little boys ran down to the
river bank No rain had fallen since
their last visit and they easily found
their footprints in the clay. These
had dried until they were as hard as
stone They called their mother to
look at the holes. She took some clay
In her hands, wet it in the river, then
shaped it like the hollow stone she
used for cooking She dried 1t in the

Handkerchief in the Glove.

The fashionable handkerchief of to-
day must be as small as possible and
the newest thing is a tiny handker-
chief to be carried in the glove. 1t is
a piece of the finest muslin a few
inches square, trimmed with lace, and
small enough and soft enough to be
kept in the glove. On it the name or
monogram is embroidered in the
smallest letters and the whole thing
is so useless that the owner only just
escapes being without a handkerchief

Lawn Billiard Ring and Cue.

Lawn Billiard KING ana Cue.
driven into the ground, as Fig. 2
will show. The ring revolves easily
in the peg at the slightest touch.
The balls are propelled by the cue,
which consists of wooden handle,
three or four feet in length, with a
small ring fixed in its end at an angle
Each player is provided with a cue
and a ball. the latter designated by
a color. Each player takes one chance
for a turn, trying to drive the ball
through the ring. If he is successful
he scores one point, but is not then
entitled to another turn.
If, in trying to drive his ball through
a player sends another players ball
through the ring, it counts two points
for the other player. The balls must
not be pushed or thrown through the
ring, but driven with the cue by a
stroke. A player may aim for another
ball instead of the ring SO as to put
that ball out of position. or he may
aim to strike the edge of the ring to
make it turn and present its edge to
another ball.
When you have. become skillful you
may be able to drive your ball through
the ring even when turned edgewise
by striking the ball so that It hits the
side of the ring and turns it in a posi-
tion to catch the ball. To prevent the
balls from going too far away a wood
en- border may surround the field. as
shown in Fig. 2.

Lawn Billiards.

Any number of persons, from two to
ten, may play this Fascinating game.
1t consists in driving balls, like cro-
quet balls, through a ring.
The ring, which is shown in Fig. 1,
with the ball and the cue, is made of
metal and is just large enough 10

three-inch ruff1es. Both the sleeves
and the jacket were cut from wide
embroidered f1ouncings, and therefore
had embroidered scallops as a finish
at their edges. The Elton jacket did
not extend over the shoulders, but the
back and the front were held in place
by two straps of half-inch velvet rib
bon going over each shoulder; one OF
these straps finished, or rather con-
cealed, the others, some two inches
from the sleeve strips, held the body
of the jacket in place. In the front,
revers cut from the null, the shape of
a shawl cut diagonally through the
center, were joined to the jacket tops;
these were hand embroidered and had
hemstitched edges. In the back, how
ever, the straight-across top showed
scalops to match the lower edge The
stock and front of the null under
blouse were embroidered to match the
revers on the jacket and the elbow
sleeves of null were finished by mar
row embroidered bands
A broad -brimmed white hat, trim
med with black velvet ribbon and
sprays of wistaria, topped the frock.

Here are a few pointers on coming
fashions. Sleeves are to continue
short. Skirts are to either trail on
the ground or be very short; no more
will be seen the ankle-length gowns
which are so unbecoming to the aver
age figure Skirts that just escape
the ground seem to be a woman's idea
of a comfortable dress, when in real
ity it is an ugly and dirty length l
say dirty because it gathers up more
dust than you can imagine. and OF
course can never be held up
Let me say a word on the subject OF
holding up your gown Have you
ever watched the various ways it can
be done? Have you sat in any pub
lie place and seen a stream OF WON

and young, and after growing thor
oughly discouraged at the way they
walk and hold themselves begin to
notice their different ways Of doing
things?

Boys who overcame Obstacles.

Henry Clay learned to speak in a
barn with only a COW and a horse

Black Lace Coats are Coming.

Black Lace Coats are Coming.
Black lace coats are to be very
smart next winter, and are also worn
now with black chiffon gowns. The
chiffon and lace combine extremely
well and often when it is desired to
have a sharp contrast the fashion is
to wear a white lace coat with a black
skirt. A bolero of white lace on a
black dress, if a woman has a good
enough figure to carry it off well. is
always smart and effective, but If the
figure is not all that may be desired.
then it is just as we'll to have the
lace in black also, thus eliminating
the sharp contrast outlining the fig
ure.

Corset covers are trimmed almost

green broadcloth collars, are still con-
sidered the smartest for the small
