for him and enter into his plans and pursuits
just as his chum would. In the years OF long
engagement she may learn to do this, but the
chances are that If she is inclined to be trlvo-
lous at twenty she will remain so, to a greater
or less degree, all her life.
Perhaps at twenty he preferred the athletic

who went wild with enthusiasm at football
games; and at thirty having outgrown his own
taste for football and developed nm interest In
politics, be wants woman who can discuss such
subjects ntelligently and have opinions OF her
own about them.
1t is probable that her tastes will change too.
AT twenty she NAV have liked handsome young
fellow who dressed well and whose manners were
the pink of perfection As she grows older, she
discovers the natural vanity OF handsome men
and comes to prefer the ugly man, who spends
his time admiring her instead OF wondering how
many girls are pining away for love OF him.
Perhaps at twenty she liked the Young fellow
who spends his time running around to theatres

At thirty she has lost her interest IN theatres

HOW TO TRANSFER THE PATTERNS.
When a sheer material is employed for en-
broidery purposes, the best way is TO lay 1t care
fully over the design. Place a heavy piece OF
cardboard under the paper sketch to give 1T the
proper support. Be very careful to see that tho
material rests smoothly upon the paper without
a suspicion of a wrinkle, otherwise troublesome
complications likely to arise.
In transferring pattern, use hard, sharp lead
pencil, those that come especially for this line of
work Make clear, we'll defined strokes, but do
not bear on sufficiently hard to break the
threads or too lightly that the outline IN
handling becomes vague blurred These lit
tie details, though apparently trhng, have
much to do with the ultimate success OF the
complete design.
Where only half OF the design is given, then
fold your linen that the two right sides come
together and between these two sides, insert two
sheets OF impression paper, placing the wrong
sides of the paper toward each other. When this
has been neatly done, then place the pattern on
the folded material and go over each line. When
completed the two sides will produce the entire
pattern,
When the linen is employed the heavy "blous-
ing" quality is the best. Buy impression paper,

Embroidered Sets

A very good idea for using small embroidered
sets for null dresses is a skirt cut with circu.
lar top and founce set with insertion has
the embroidery laid in little frames of the lace

THE WISTARIA PATTERN.

The wstara flower is nicely adapted for eye
let embroidery. The heads are made of sue
ccssion of oval shaped cyeets, The stems and
delicate foliage are done in the padded or English
satin stitch,
Another variation would be TO put the wistaria
heads in the padded satin stitch, making them
stand well out from the surface, 4 more lacey
effect would be produced by employing dainty
lace stitches for cyelet perforaton.
For shadow work in pure white this pattern
would be delightful. and in that case sheer ma
teral such as French nainsook, Persian lawn, ba-
tstc or handkerchief linen should be employed, as
the character of pattern shows better on a trans
parent surface.
Mercerized cotton is employed and darnng
cotton for the padded parts.

Fritts. who was student in the sec
ond year of the academy, left Topeka
the 18th of last March and his where
abouts since that time have been IN
known to his parents or to his most
intimate friends. His parents are es-
pecially anxious to learn Of him and his
absence is a source of much worry to
them.
Fritts was working his way through
the academy and shortly after the sec
ond semester began. he quit school It
is presumed because of financial rea-
sons. He had been rOOming and board
ing at 1897 Lincoln street and left there
about the middle of March. When he
left he stated that he intended to take
a trim to Dover and Auburn, two small
towns in the SOuthW eStern part OF the
county where he expected to sell stereo-
scopic views and make a little money
He had been engaged in this employ
ment at various times before and had
always been fairly successful. This
method Of making money is much re-
sorted to by college students during
vacations and many of them do very
we'll at this occupation. Nothing def1n-
tie has been heard from him by any OF
his family or even his most intimate
friends since he left at that time. His
trunk and personal belongings are still
at the above address.
1t is, however, reported that he was
seen in st. Marys, Kan, early in May.
One of the college students who was
attending a district Christian Endeavor
convention at that place there is re-
ported to have seen him and found him
working the town in the interests of
some portrait company. Since that time
not even a clue has been found as to
his whereabouts. His parents have
communicated with many of the col
lege students and finally with the col
lege officers seeking information con-
corning him but to no avail The last
attempt Of his parents to locate him
was the letter which came to the coli
Iegt Office a few days ago. An announce
ment followed in chapel but no one
seemed to have had any knowledge
whatever concerning him.

TAXING OUT THE DEAD.
Mine Explosion in New Mexico Has
Fatal Results.

Word has been received by James E.
Hurley, general manager of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway COM
pany, of a disastrous explosion in a coal
mine in New Mexico, which occurred
yesterday afternoon. and which pro-
baby has resulted in the death of Il
miners.
According to the dispatches received
by Mr.. Hurley, which are brief. three
dead bodies have been removed from
the mine and there are IL or u miners
entombed. These men have probably
met death.
This explosion occurred in what is
known as the Dutchman coal mine at
Blossburg a mining camp about five
miles from Ration. The mine Is owned
and operated by the St. Louis, Rocky
Mountain & Pacific company, and was
well equipped with all modern electrf-
cal appliances.
The work which has been done at the
mine was mostly that Of development,
and the company worked about so men
on the day shift and Is men on the
night shift. It was shortly after the
night shift went to work that the ex-
plosion occurred. The dispatches re-
ceived by Mr.. Hurley state that the
work of rescuing the entombed men IS
slow on account of the fire damp. -
It is likely that when the men are
reached they will be found to be dead.
No explanation was made in the
dispatches as to the cause for the ex-
plosion.
