Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-10-20

"HERE has risen Of late a great
and growing fancy for colored
j centerpieces.
They form an attractive bit Of color
on the dining table.
The design given today, while 1t may
be beautifully carried out in white for
those who prefer all-white for their
table furnishings. is also charming
when worked on gray linen or villa
cloth.
In the latter material 1t may be de-
veloped in old rose, tan, green and blue.
And now that the mercerized cottons
are also made in all sorts OF lovely
colors, beautiful combinations are pos
sible.
For instance, suppose the design given
was worked on tan linen, the outside edge
should then be buttonholed around all
the scallops in black.
Inside OF these scallops should be
worked irregular stitches Of brown and
yellow, that is, irregular as to length
and in which way the colors are com
bined. little blotches Of the brown
varying with those Of the yellow.
The daisies may be worked in white,
with the centers in yellow ana the
leaves and stems in green.
The conventional part of the design
may be worked out in shaded browns
and yellows and the design edged with
an outline of black.
The stems may be worked outline or
satin stitch. with a lighter shade OF
brown. If preferred, instead OF green.
or. if gray linen is the choice, work
the edges in black, as before, with but
tonhoIe stitches for the scallops.
Carefully work row inside this Of
pale green and white, letting the stitches
run VEL into the black.
Gray for the foundation is popular be-
cause It harm1nizes with so many other
cOlurs.
II II is 10 be used il room whose
predominant tone IS blue. the centerpiece
may be embroidered effectually in black,

Cluny Lace and French In

No Competitor.

According to the report of Mr..
Williams of the Kansas City Post
the Missouri Pacific track be-
tween here and Higginsville is
in about as poor condition as
any track in the country. This
is not surprising to us who have
been hauled over this track fire.
.quently and have experienced
the sensations incident thereto.
Some have expressed wonder
that more people have not been
killed on this stretch. That is
easily explainable. There are
plenty of wrecks, but the trains
all go so slowly that there is no
danger to life except from ex-
plosiOn or heart failure caused
by lmpatience.
1t is understood that slow or
ders have been issued until the
track is put into condition. Slow
orders! If the the trains run
much slower than they are run
ming now they will stand still.
O, for a competitor to the
Missouri Pacific! Just what
would happen can easily be seen
at the junction of the Lexington
Branch and the main line at Sed-

Automobiles in Lexington.

An occasion like the runaway
on the streets of Lexington last
Sunday always bring out a GER
tain amout ofcriticism about peo-
who own motor cars and freight
en- other peoples horses. Not
infrequently we hear farmers
Storming about the reckless
chauffeurs who leave a string of
scared animals in their wake.
Many automobile drivers are
wantonly reckless; but talking
against automobiles in general
is futile. Motor cars have be-
come indispensable for both com
mercial and pleasure-seeking
purposes and we might as well
talk about prohibiting railroad
trains from running as suppress,
ing the automobile. At present
public safety in Lexington would
be enhanced a little if no
machines ever came here; but
machines do run through our
streets and will continue to do
so. What we need is several
more automobiles so that our
horses will be accustomed to
them.
Lexington would have a more
prosperous appearance and it's
horse owners would be better off
If there We're about fifteen
machines in town.

Scratching The Ticket.

According to last weeks JEFF
fersonian a minister in Higgins
vile recently advised the people
not to draw sharp party lines
and to scratch the ticket every
time they thought the candidate
of the opposing party better than
the corresponding candidate of
their own party. This advice
would be right to the point in a
city where both parties are gov
erned by corrupt bosses. but
here in Lafayette county, where
politics have been always clean
and the people elected to office
not thugs and grafters but the
best citizens Of the county, the
advice seems a trifle out of place.
With the primary system the
Democratic party has always
been able to put in nomination a
good set of men. The instances
where Republican candidates
have been sufficiently better than
their opponents to justify a Dem
.ocrat's scratching the ticket have
been rare, to say the least.

A Splendid Entertainment.

A large audience witnessed the
violin recital at the opera house
in this city Friday night of last
week. Miss Mary Aun, daughter
of VIM. Aull of Lexington, won
for herself the plaudits of every
one present. She responded to
several encors. Miss Pauline
Sellers, also of Lexington, sang
in rich and beautiful tones several
high class selections and res
pended to several encors.
Miss Aull is a prodigy. She
is only IA years of age and per-
forms on the violin with the ease,
touch and grace of matured
violinist. She is "a most remark
able girl and is destined to reach
the top round in the ladder of
fame. -Higginsville Jeffersonian.

That the 2-cent law was of bene-

MISSISSIPPI ALL RIGHT.

Now that there is something OF a
financial stringency all over the country
it is pleasing to know that the banks OF
Mississippi are in sound condition and
that no apprehension is felt. The fol-
lowing from Jackson throws additional
light on the financial situation over the
state:
Business men and people generally
who have had the opportunity to note
the summary statement OF bank re-
sources, capital and conditions generally
prepared and given out few days ago
by Auditor Henry, are deeply gratlfed
at the showing made in the space OF
twelve months. The fact that the state
ranks show an increase of Sc, ,40i, ,S40.21,
added to this is, of course, the increase
in the business and resources of the
national banks, over which the auditors
department has no jurisdiction, is de-
cidediy healthy showing. Coming, too,
lust at this time, when there is SO much
