home by soaking 1t for a few hours in
a good strong suds of warm water, to
which has been added a little am
monia; then rinse in hot water until
the lace looks clean. Neve~ rub lace,

very much discolored. lay it in the sun
to bleach. Make a fat pad of clean
white cloth. and pin the lace in shape

Venetian Trimmings.

One of the striking features OF the
moment is the Venetian embroidered
bands seen on several Paris models.
As the word Venetian might imply.
these trimmings are not in gold and
silver. but the designs OF the sixteenth
century simply copied in silks and
woods OF neutral shades to suit the
taste of the day. A dainty visiting
gown In silver gray crepe de chine has
an antique pattern Of silk roses and
foliage resting upon a band of dark
gray velvet This trimming is also
used extensively in ball and dinner
dresses.

the plain of Moab. The memor of
those days made their hearts tender
and submissive. Moses words were
still fresh In mind. and confidently
and hopefully they looked forward to
the certainty of their possession Of
the Promised Land.
But Joshua made no move. And the
people recognized him as the leader
in Moses stead. and they waited.

blessing of Moses was spoken upon us

ing, when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that he was the first man ever

New York against the Wall Stree
corporation influence. He had the tul'
force of their opposition and his run is
wonderful when we C olsider that with
the same opposition Bryan was de-
feated in that state by 26S,OOO ID
