PLATING ON PAPER.
New Electric Process by Which Pa- per May Be Coated with
 a Metal

A new electric process for covering paper with a metallic surface is given by Paper Pulp. It consists in placing the bath in a porcelain tank in which are immersed two metal plates. One of the plates is formed of the metal which is used to cover the paper. I rather weak current is used for the bath. A thin layer of metal is depos- ited on the second plate. as is usual in the galvanoplastic process. When the deposit has reached a thickness of about 1-250 inch. the plate is placed against Q sheet of paper which is previously coated with the proper kind of glue. After dying. the metallic layer adheres to the paper so strong ly that it remains upon the latter when it is pulled off the metal plate. variation of the process consists n ornamenting the foundation plate with any kind Of designs or letters. and these are reproduced on the me tallie deposit. The solutions which are recommended in the above process are as follows: For silver paper, q bath is made of cyanide of silver 2lQ parts. cyanide of potassium 13 parts, water 9S0 parts. For gold paper. cyanide of gold parts, cyanide Of potassium parts water goo parts. For copper. sulphate of copper IS parts, sulphuric acid 6 parts, water 10 parts

In boyhood | knew them, and still
they call to me.
Down deep in my hearts core / hear
them, and my eyes
Through tear mists behold them, be-
meath the old-time skies,
Mid bee boom and rose blossom and
orchard lands, arise.

ing is my soul
To walk there, to dream there, be-
meath the sky's blue bowl;
Around me, within me, the weary
world made whole.
To talk with the wild brook of all
the long ago;
To whisper the wood wind of things
we used to know
When we were old companions, be-
fore my heart knew woe.
To walk with the morning and watch
it's rose unfold
To browse with the noontide, lulled
on its heart of gold;
To lie with the nighttime and dream
the dreams of old.a
To tell of the old trees, and to each
listening leaf,

The old hope, the old love, would ease

EMBROIDERED ENVIRONMENTS

written for The Star by Katharine Anderson
Embroidery Is the hallmark OF all stylish
garb this summer. From tub frock to finn
lest chiffon creations, fancy needlework OF
deftest design relieves the plain fabric
foundations and stamps as distinctly modish
all raiment which shows signs OF genuine or
simulated hand embroidery. The same is
true also of every possible dress accessory
which completes the weIl-equipped ward
robe of even the moderately wealthy wom-
an, until one pauses to wonder If we will
ever again return to simple, unadorned
wearing apparel.
For the woman who is handy at picking
up new kinds of fancy work. this craze for
embroidered attire has an ever-increaslng
fascination. No sooner does she become
fairly skilled in one new stitch than another
kind of embroidery presents itself, and the
last one Is even prettier and more delicate
ly decorative than the one which It follows
For instance the very attractive eyelet
work SO popular last summer is rendered
