LITTLE FANCIES OF FASHION.
Accessories That Go with the Present
Season Costumes.

Perhaps the most conspicuously or
iginal among the novel accessories OF
the present season are the tiny round
ruches or boas made of feathers, futed
silk, chiffon, net, or lace, and ended
off with an attractive little bow knot
of silk or velvet ribbon, which is worn
generally directly in the center of the
back, but is often shifted about from
one side to the other, and is frequently
even worn in the front instead of the
back of the neck. In ostrich or COG
feathers these little boas are excep-
tionally attractive, but they are also
extremely pretty in the other materials
Just mentioned. AS the ruching in
silk, net or chiffon can now be bought
by the yard this style of boa can be
made UP most inexpensively. The
ruche is simply attached to a band of
ribbon the correct width for the neck
and fastened by means of medium
sized hooks and eyes. An attractive
bow knot of the appropriate color is
then stitched to the ruche over the

FIXING OLD CHAIRS
4OUSEKEEPER GIVES POINTER
ON ECONOMY.
Declares Work Is as Much Fun as Fit.
ting a Dress, and Explains Meth
DDS Which She Found
Successful.

Recovering an upholstered chair
with pretty new material is as much
fun as fitting a Dress" observed an
ingenious housekeeper. She speaks
from very recent experience, for she
has just finished recovering an entire
family suite.
MY furniture wasn't in bad con-
dition," she fastened to say. 'It was
merely shabby. So l ripped the old
covers off and cut new ones By them.
Tapestry Is remarkably cheap, I
found, and the clerks were very nice
about letting me lay my old covers on
the material to see just how much l
wanted. One can't make odds and
ends of furniture tapestry up into
neckties, you see, so it is foolish to
buy an inch more than one needs.
THE reason [ had such success in
covering my set is that I was very
exact about the work, and had all the
materials that I needed right at hand
before 1 started out. There were
few hollow places in the upholstery,
where the filling had matted together
or sunk in, so | had plenty of wadding
to fill them out. Then l bought enough
cotton cloth to cover the old lining
before putting on my new tapestry
cover. Putting this on gave me expe-
rience so that I worked much better
when l came to tack on the actual
outside cover. The wadding that l
used went between the old lining and
the new.
"One could cover right over the old
tapestry, and, in fact, I did one chair
that was still in good shape that way.
had some cheesecloth which pinned
over the chair very carefully, and then
cut out as a pattern, allowing plenty
for turning in at the edges.
Cutting and lining the cover is the
disagreeable part C the task Actually
putting it on is slow work, but not at
NIL tiresome. The best way is to lay it
In position on the seat of the chair
and pin it firmly in place at the back
edge. Then stretch it as firmly as
you can and put in plenty of pins along
the front. Now pin the sides across,
working over it until every wrinkle
Is removed
Il was very careful with my furni-
ture to have all the corners folded
alike. When the cover is pinned as
smoothly as possible, cut along the
edge, leaving about an inch to turn
in, and use more pins to fold it in
with. If the material is not too rev.
ely, this turning in isn't necessary, be-
cause the guimpe will cover it.

Electrics in Washinuton,

At Washington more electric auto
mobiles are to be seen than are like
ly to be found anywhere outside of an
international congress of electric auto
mobile manufacturers. They are most
ly of the one-seated type and they
sneak around quietly and in digni-
fed way, and are rather typical of the
city.
Washington always gives the
stranger the impression Of being rath-
err unnatural because it is dignitied.
The wherefore Of the many electric
automobiles was explained to a won
dering person by the man who always
knows why.
"You don't see a lot of heavy truck
ing in Washington, and the pavements
are all smooth and in fine condition.
That is the sort of going that the
electric car needs" he said. There
aren't a lot of ruts in the streets.
There isn't anything that kills the
electric battery like being Jared and
shaken up, and the Washington streets
are conducive to the long life. of the
electrics."
Possibly because there are so many
electric cars there are more women
who drive automobiles in Washington
than in almost any other city. That
is another feature that strikes the OBJ
server as soon as he gets through
noticing the extraordinary number OF
electric cars. Then he takes note that
most of the. automobiles carry three
license tags. One is for the District
of Columbia, another for Virginia, and
third for Maryland.

WASHINGTON City AbIoom.

Just at the present Washington
stands a-bloom in a myriad OF colors
backed by the first vivid green's which
the leaves on a thousand trees and
bushes are pushing out into the vi
brant air; the clouds pile themselves
in fieecy white masses against an end
less field of soft blue sky, and the
voyaging birds stop over long enough
to fill the tree-clad city with melody
that puts the operate stars clear tout
of the running" consequently it takes
the courage Of a Crusader to bear in
mind that all flesh is as grass. Auto
mobiles whizz gayly toward the coun
try clubs, and surveys and landaus
whirl through the streets bearing
modishly gowned women to successive
scenes of festivity.

manipulation of wide bordered foul
ard. The groundwork Of the silk is
a solid color, and this serves for the
body part of the waist, while the deep
Egyptian border trims the top, both
back and front, and makes the sleeves.
The unique feature of the design is
the way the waist part and the
sleeves are made all in one piece, CIV
ing that long, continuous line to the
shoulders which is characteristic of
kimono costumes, yet eliminates the
broad sleeve part.
Between the top Of the handsome
border running across the front and
the back there is space for a white
lace guimpe. This reaches quite to
the tips of the shoulders and is
crossed in bracer fashion by straps Of
velvet ribbon which hold the two bor
dered pieces together.

MEXICAN LOTTERY TICKETS.
Millions Of Them Sold Every Year
Misshapen Persons as Vendors.

Millions of Them Sold Every Year
Misshapen Persons as Vendors.
Nearly 100000 is spent in Mexico
City every week in lottery tickets, and
in the same period about $4,000 is
paid back in premiums, says the Mex
lean Herald.
On the weeks Immediately preced-
ing the big drawings, the sale, of
course mounts UP to great sums. as
for instance, when the 100000 draw
ings are held, there are 10000 tickets
at $40 each sold on the streets, and
practically every ticket is disposed of,
most of them during the last two
weeks before the drawing. But as
general proposition, on an average of
$4,000 day is spent by Mexico City
people on the lotteries.
There are, as is we'll known, three
companies operating under conces-
sions from the government for the
conduct of lotteries in Mexico City.
Many picturesque figures are in
Guided in the list of lottery vendors
in Mexico, for all must be licensed.
Blind men and women, dogs, old men,
cripples and deformed persons all
seem attracted to the business of sell
ing lottery tickets, for there is an in
applicable fascination about buying
ticket from misshapen person, for
there surely must be luck in it, and
this feeling is played upon by the
vendors.
There have been, from time to time,
rumors of changes coming in the lot

bling houses, now entirely driven out
Of practically all cities of the repub-
lie, and one hears that the great new
prizes are but the forerunners of the
lotteries last days, and their efforts
to gather in what they may while they
can. How much truth there is in this
one can not say but it is reasonable
to suppose that the lotteries will ulti-
mately be suppressed.

and ending with the discovery of gold
in California in 1S49. These incidents
were:
Cortes entering the temple of the
sun in Mexico; Pizarro with the horse,
progressing in the conquest of Peru;
the burial of De Soto in the MISSISSIPPI
pi river; the rescue of Capt. John
Smith by Pocahontas; the disembark4
alton of the Pilgrim Fathers; PENIS
treaty with the Indians and the set
tlement of Pennsylvania; the indus
trial colonization of the New England
states; Gen. Oglethorpe and the Mus

gia; the Battle of Lexington; the Dec
laration of Independence; the sur
render of Corvallis; the death of Te-
cumseh; the American army entering
the City of Mexico; the discovery OF
gold in California in 1S49.
These are the painted incidents as
they stand to-day, and there remains
room for one large or two smaller adj
ditions. The ugly gap in the great
dome of the rotunda of the national
capitol mars it's beauty to a marked
degree For more than dozen years
the guides have told visitors that the
great paintings would be finished dur
ing the year, and for a dozen years
or more the artists rough scaffolding
hung in place, useless, a blot on the
beauty of the rotunda.
Inability of the lawmakers to agree
on a suitable allegory to complete the
cycle of events represented has been
the drawback in this really necessary
matter, and all the begging and plead
ing on the part of the architect that
the work be completed has availed
nothing The rotunda of the capitol
is it's most attractive feature. 1t is
usually the first part of the great
building which a visitor sees.
The renovation of the dome and the
rotunda waits on the completion OF
the frieze and in it's present condition
there are evidences of bad housekeep-
ing. The rotunda is 95 feet 6 inches
in diameter, and $50 feet above it's
marble floor hangs the canopy of the
100000 pound dome, which gives
the capitol it's imposing appearance.
Around this dome are galleries, to
which thousands Of visitors climb
every month to get nearer and better
view of the decorations.
It has been broadly limited that but
for the fear of engendering sectional
feelings designs would have been
agreed upon years ago. An illustra-
ton of the surrender at Appomattox,
the emancipation proclamation or
anything touching any of the histor-
ical events of the civil war would not
meet with the approval Of those who
espoused the lost cause or who lived
in the south. That this has been the
cause of the deadlock there can be
but little question, and members of
the committee who lean toward the
civil war panel idea have been asked:
why take an incident of the civil
war? Nowhere in the frieZe will you
find a picture of George Washington,
and the Father of His Country ought
not to be left out in the picturing of
| the history of America
