with bullets. An unloaded rifle was
found lying beside the body. The
shotgun was found on the porch of
Jones' house.
Jones was arrested shortly after

Sometimes filet lace squares are
inset instead of having the work done
in the linen itself. This is an attrac-
tive way to accomplish good effect,
and the work can be done at home.
Medallion pieces Of almost any shape,
size and pattern can be found in the
shops ready to use. Very often the
prettiest are picked up in the furnish
ing department where materials for
lace curtains and diaperies are kept.
Odds and ends of lace found in this
department will often work in well for
table pieces or for dining-room fur
nishings. It is sometimes possible to
gather together enough medallions
and strips of lace to fashion n table
runner or a sideboard cover that is
really handsome and far from costly.
All lace pieces are frequently seen
and are attractive when used on a pol
ished mahogany table with the CLEAN
of the wood showing through. Just
under the center of the decoration
where the bowl of flowers rests pad
can be placed to keep the table from

Lace trimmed centerpieces are in

squares and long runners with this

Major Albrecht's work was excel

to contend with. and pol
itics prevented his receiving the sup

there has not been an outbreak since
troops were called out.
