LACES.


There has been considerable demand
for double width all-over nets suitable
for the construction of waists.
Black. cream, and white will be
chiefly used for the ready made waist,
though some colors. particularly
browns and blues, are likely to make
their appearance in the lines.
Net tops are proving popular in the
medium widths suitable for sleeve
rufles and similar purposes. Both of
these styles of fine lace are most APP
propriate for the ornamentation of
gowns constructed of Summer materi-
ais. and are, therefore, likely to hold
their own for the next few weeks.
Heavy Laces Drop on.
The demand for heavy laces has
dropped off. Combinations have been
successful in these lines and are likely
to make their temperance in the fall
displays.
There is good reason to believe that
lace Of some form will play promi-
nent part in the construction of sleeves
the coming season. This idea will OBJ
tain chiefly in the sleeves Of costumes,
and to some extent in those of separate
waists of an elaborate character. Both
fine and heavy laces will be required
for this purpose, for lace ruffles will be
used to form the main portion Of many
sleeves, while others will show the use
of a heavy lace in the form Of the
! close fitting cuff reaching to the region
of the elbow.
Lace Ruf1es in sleeves.
The latter IS a form of sleeve which
is even now being worn by u few of
the fashion leaders both here and
abroad and which is bound to be more
generally seen during the winter.
There are various reasons why a
change in the style of sleeve is i'm
pending. and that this one has already
been accepted by the ultra fashionable
women is a great point in its favor as
one which is likely to be prominent In
the near future.
The fact that real Irish lace has
proved to be one of the successes OF
| the esason shows the wisdom of those
buyers who have now come to regard
| 1t as a staple style. The fact of the
matter is that when women pay out q
| considerable sum for lace. they desire
an article OF intrinsic merit. The ira
ditional idea OF lace is that 1t is ar
article which can be handed down as
| an heirloom from generation to gen
GRAFTON. and now that there IS such q
growing class OF people in America
who are able TO afford real laces they
are showing a preference for classic
styles and designs IN order 10 maintain
the traditions.

105 splendid turtles out Of 100 have
died en- route, in spite of the most
elaborate precautions.
The average weight of each Is
about 165 pounds, and the wholesale
price ranges from twenty to twenty
five cents per pound.
The flesh is divided into what are
known as calipee, calipash and inns.
The flesh is said to be colored green
by the peculiar grass that grows on
the coral reefs where the turtles feed.
The winter season is naturally the
busiest for the turtle trade, and the
parts used in the famous soup are
the membranes of the stomach and
back-shell.
A great industry is growing up in
canned and bottled turtle products,
quite apart from the live fish" A
visit to the cellars in which these
huge creatures are stored is an un-
carny experience. Here one may see
a veitable menagerie of edible tur-
ties, rustling about on a bed Of sweet
straw. From time to time they lift
up their peculiar heads, and utter
strange sounds like the faint, hoarse
bark of a small dog.-Scientifc

TransvaalaH Treasure Trove.

Upon the outbreak of the war one
Steyn and his wife hid away $4,000
In gold within the stone wall of a
kraal near their house. They then
left the farm, and on their return
were dismayed to find that the kraal
walls had been broken down and the
stones removed to make the S. 4. C..
dwelling place.
Steyn hunted and grubbed for his
gold, but all in vain. Then he sold
his farm to an honest man and went
to the Cape Colony. Soon after he
received a telegram from the new
owner, who stated that he had
plowed up near tie homestead q tin
containing 5000 sovereigrs and asked
if the money belonged to Steyn.
The latter at once admitted the
ownership, went back to the Trans
vaal and received his $4,000, out of
which he promptly returned $1,000
to the honest man.-Transvaal Ad-
VGtiser.

How often do you hear these signi-
icant expressions from O e n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's llls,"
these two words are full of more
misery to .,omen than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression of spirits. reluctance to
20 anywhere, backaches, headaches
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing,
down sensations, displacements ana
irregularities are the bane OF woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound made
from .ative roots and herbs holds
the record for a greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world mas ever
known and it is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives OF
suffering women. Z.

Admiral Wouldn't Be Bluffed.

The Kaiser is a quick eater and
the instant he lays down his knife
and fork the walters make a descent
upon the plates of all at table,
whether they have finished or not,
and clear for the next course. One
day the Emperor had on his right
a old admiral whose racy bluntpess
of speech he much relishes. The old
salt is also a bit of a gourmet, and
it so happened that one of the dishes
was his own particular favorite. But
the Emperor piled him so with ques-
tions and talk-perhaps of malice
prepense-that the old fellow could
scarcely get a chance for a mouthfui
before the sovereign's knife and fork
were laid down and there was the
regulation clearance rush. A grasp
had already been laid on the Ad-
miral's plate, but, red with anger,
he dug his fork into the %intruding
hand with a gruff "Get QUIT" and
went on with relish amid a general
roar of laughter.-London Globe.

Good Roads Recommendations.

At the State convention of the
Changers, Binghamton, N. Y, the
special Committee on Good Roads
presented a report urging that the
State should not continue the work
of construction of good roads until
an equitable basis of apportionment
between the counties has been adopt
ed. To accomplish this a law is rec
commended which will allot to each
county its share of any appropriation
made from the $50,0O0,00O to be
used by the State for good roads
work. The committee would have
