HOT WATER BAG INCUBATOR.
Kansas Woman Finds Novel Mother
for Her Chickens.

Wichita, Kas.-The hot water bag,
that modern pain reliever and balm to
cold feet, has come into a new and
unique use here in Wichita. 1t has
taken vacation from its pathological
field and invaded the poultry business.
Mrs. Waller had the hen and the
hen wanted to set, SO Mrs. Waller
bought a setting of fancy barred
Plymouth Rock eggs. and the hen went
to work In that determined way hens
have. All went merry until one morn
ing she found that the hen had sick
ened and died.
Here was desperate situation. She
didn't want to buy an incubator to
save IA eggs; she didn't want to lose
the eggs. Then she thought of the hot
water bag.
She rigged up light framework to
keep the weight of the rubber bag of
the eggs. Then she filled the bag with
hot water and put in on the eggs, keep
ing careful watch over the tempera-
ture.
Only one other thing was necessary.
and that was some one to get up at
two o'clock in the morning to put in
more hot water. Mrs. Waller selected
Mr.. Waller for the job.

Pittsburg paper, after careful inquiry.
Time hangs too heavily upon the
hands OF these women. declares the

the painful monotony and lack of nov

social diversions, the gentle sex of the
upper circle are now resorting to the
soothing effects of anesthetics and the
sensations of the operating table.
Against the advice of physicians and
with professional assurance that the
appendix is in good order and acting
intelligently and with precision. many
women insist upon having the pesky

LEAVE CHURCH TO LYNCH MAN.
Worshipers Rush from Pews and Hang
Negro Who Killed Policeman.


Crisfield, Md.-The residents of
this place rushed out of churches the
other morning to aid in the lynching
Of James Reed. half-breed negro,
who murdered James H. Daugherty, a
policeman. Daugherty had arrested
friend of Reed for selling liquor.
Reed followed the oficer and shot him
through the head.
The slayer seized a bicycle and fed
to the bay, where he stole a boat and
tried to sail across to the Virginia
shore. The absence OF the boat was
discovered early next morning, and
the steamboat Airclin went in pursuit
Reed was found becalmed nearly half
way across the bay. He leaped into
the water and tried to drown him
self. but was dragged aboard with boat
hooks. Bound TO postum, he talked
coolly about his crime and the pros
pect OF his being saved from lynching
When the boat returned here a
great crowd was waiting. The boat
steamed about for half an hour walt

the foot of the gang plank when the
mob made rush for him and dragged
him out of the hands of the officers.
He was beaten and kicked almost to
death and then dragged through the
streets to the scene of his crime and
hanged to telegraph pole.
A coroner's jury rendered verdict
that the lynching was done by par
ties unknown.

The Linen Frock.

Linen robes. beautifully hand EN-
broidered, are on view in all the
shops and there are, too, embroidered
bordure linens-that is, linens with a
deep embroidered border. This bor-
der is most often executed in fine
soutache, with French knots and oc-
casional embroidery stitches scattered
throughout the intricate design, and
the result is often exceedingly eff
fective. Linen laces dyed to match
the material are used upon some new
linen frocks and coats. and such dyed

The "ChasubIeu Coat.

Automobile enthusiasts have taken
an interest in the new chasuble coat
with open sides which falls absolutely
straight at back and front like the
ecclesiastical robe for which it is
named. 1t is made of heavy linen or
pongee and so far has been finished
with bands of heavy lace around the
whole garment. On the fronts and
sleeves it is usually finished with cot
ton passementerie and brandenburgs.
The first qualification of this coat for
summer use is the readiness with
which 1t clasps.

q Pocket Book of White Embroidered
white linen being used as material
The pocket book was embroidered
with white embroidery cotton in a tre-
foil pattern, round dots also being set
on at regular intervals. A double
line of the embroidery cotton formed
the border.
Another style of pocket book is an
exact copy of the popular strap pock-
ct book, with handle on the back,
which may be slipped over the
fingers. When finished it should be
seven inches wide and four and a
quarter deep. The strips should be
about IL inches long to bring this
size when finished. The strips are
folded up much like an envelope with
the turned-over flap coming to within
an inch of the bottom of the pocket
The foundation for the purse is made
OF heavy white canvas, cut just like
the linen covering except for the flap.
The stitched handle was made of
canvas, covered with the linen, and
was sewed to the back of the purse
If monogram has not been used on
the flap, the owners initials may be
embroidered in small letters on the
handle. The flap was folded down
with a hot iron.

table four bibs were tied. The favors
were dainty celluloid rattles. while
white storks bore the place cards in
their bills, but at the four plates
each bird had tiny doll baby done
up in a small square of linen. The
table centerpiece was good-sized gilt
cradle. with canopy of dotted Swiss,
tied with pink ribbons. Tiny pink
rosebuds were scattered over the table
with maiden-hair ferns.
The napkins were folded like doll

little night lamps furnished the illumi-

baby foods adorned the walls. These
had been cut from magazines and
mounted on cardboard. There were
also numerous lads" of go-carts, cribs
and high chairs.
The menu consisted of celery soup,
chicken outlets. mashed potato in
ramikins. tomatoes and spaghetti, a
fruit salad, ice cream in round ring
