The case shown here is an ideal re-
ceptacle for embroidery silks.
In It they remain smooth, straight
and clean. In the book are sheets OF
plain paper. Each skein is laid be-
tween them.
Cut two pieces Of linen II by 4
inches. Place the design In the center
Of one Of the pieces, with a piece Of
carbon paper under 1t. Draw around
the design. The embroidering Is done
in a plain, solid Kensington stitch.
Next cut two pieces Of pasteboard, 8
by 21s inches. Cover these with the
pieces of linen, turning the material
back over the edges, and sew 1t back
and forth from side to side. In the
center of the long edge Of each piece
sew a piece Of half inch satin ribbon
for the fastening. Cut two pieces Of
plain white paper z by ~ inches.
Paste these pieces firmly over the
wrong side Of the covers for finish.
Lay the covers wrong sides together
and overland them neatly down the
back.

and photographs of this beautiful wo-

The portrait Of her by Winterhalter,
made just after she was married,
though presenting her In the crinoline
of the time, shows the elegantly dress
ed woman even to the critical eye Of
today, for the keynote Of her taste Is
simplicity, and that is the one thing
that never grows old fashioned.

piling the Ossa Of trimming on the
Pelion Of frills, has wondered why
she could not achieve the distinction

almost entirely in mauves, violets and
grays or black and white. but her ia

and these are always introduced in
her apartments wherever she may be

CHOICE MISCELLANY

lowing the name of the company, as
used by shipping clerks in marking
packages, are anciently familiar forms
Of abbreviation, and. old time and fa-
miliar as they really are. they GER
tainly still answer their purpose well
But there is now employed by markers
another abbreviation or mark that
shows vastly greater ingenuity and re-
suits in vastly greater saving OF
time, labor and marking ink,
This later mark is made with sin
gle sweep of the brush, just one
straight mark like this: -. Aud
that mark, after the right word. stands
for the word cline" So the shipping
clerk now no longer marks case Bay
line or Hudson line or whatever the
line may be, but just the name of the
line with a dash after 1t, as Bay -
or Hudson -, and so on.
This mark is Of much later origin
than the old time Ex or \. In fact, 1t
is of comparatively modern introduc-
tion. But it has already among ship.

can find use for, and the secondhand
man will have nothing but the whole
papers, and they must be clean at
that" This little monologue may be
heard most anywhere. The conditions
are about the same in any place Of
large or medium size. There Is a
great deal Of accumulated material
around house which is quite difficult
to dispose of. 1t might be burned, but
an effort to dispose of the mass in an
ordinary stove would more than likely
lead to disaster, even If the stove is of
suitable proportions to accommodate
the collection. Most Of them are not.
The housekeeper's quandary has led
to the invention of a model device to
be added to the equipment of the
household. 1t is a refuse destructOr,
IN which the accumulations of the
household are to be disposed Of by
burning in the back yard without dan
ger. The destructor is a basket of
wire built on an iron frame, support
ing it several inches above the ground.
Into this the household accumulations
are dumped as well as the sweepings.
A match applied soon reduces big
pile to a handful Of dust. Such a
device solves completely the problem

by 1415 inches. Fold one sheet Of the
paper exactly in the middle, the fold
being Of the seven and half inch
length. Fold each half over again,
bringing the outside edge Of each half
over until it touches the center fold.
Repeat this folding on the other two
sheets, and put the center fold Of each
sheet together, one over the other.
Put these folds against the overland
ing down the center Of the case and
sew through all. This forms six little
pockets in which to put the skeins Of
silk.
1t would be a pleasing idea to put a
skein Of silk in each pocket before
sending it to friend as Christmas
gift.
Applique Couch Cushion.
A method of work which produces
the same bold effects as those Of the
stencil, but with greater richness and
effectiveness, is that Of applique. The
use Of one fabric upon another, with
outlines and small details of design
brought out by embroidery, is peculiar
ly pleasing in its results and method
which has heretofore not been thor
oughly appreciated by art needle
workers. The principal object in these
simple designs is the obtaining of good
restful lines with broad effects in col
or and mass which are not handicap
ped with too much detail. Applique
is well suited to this purpose and is
very easily done. All that is necessary
is to cut out the design and aftel
carefully basting 1t in place make II

edge. The outlines Of the design are
then worked in outline stitch and the
small details in satin stitch as re

Maori NaviQators.

when the United States feet steam
ed into New Zealand waters" writes
an Auckland correspondent, "the mag
nificent array of warships left one Sec
tioD of the community wholly un-
moved. No Maori could be brought to
see anything wonderful about 1t. They
have traditions Of their own about
navigation, and when they recall the
fact that their ancestors explored the
Antarctic in their big decked canoes,
discovered America, populated Japan
and sailed the Pacific from end to end
you cannot convince them that there
is anything remarkable about the visit
of the United States battleships. All
the way from the Siam peninsula to
New Zealand and up to the northward
beyond Sakhalin the Maoris, according
to their own legends, have left their
traces, and it is certainly a curious
fact that there are hundreds Of words
in Malasian dialects which are still
part Of the Maori vernacular of to-
day"

FASHIONABLE FURS.
Quaint Old Styles Revived In the New
Stoies and Muffs.

Quaint Old Styles Revived In ths New
StoIes and Muffs.
So widespread has become the vogue
of furs that no longer are they re-
garded as a luxury, but, on the con-
trary, as quite an important detail
Of the toilet. Because Of this wide
spread vogue and the necessity for
supplying the demand for pelts the
four corners of tine earth have literally
been secured, and wonders have been
accomplished by means Of dyeing and
plucking. One sees the plebeian
American red fox, by no means a
comely beast in its native condition,
transformed into a marvel Of ebon
blackness by expert coloring. A proc
ess Of dyeing has made an amazing
change in squirrel, which in plain gray
proved SO unbecoming to most women
when 1t was introduced six years ago.
But the most wonderful treatment Of
all is that which transforms the Amer
ican muskrat's pelt into a fur which
cannot readily be distinguished from
sealskin.
Never before has there been a season
when the fashions in furs have been
80 distinctly different for matrons and
debutantes, for not only is the wearing
Of sable and broadtail confined almost
exclusively to the elder set Of women,
but It is noticeable that few Of them
are in favor of mink or caracul and
that in reserving lynx for themselves
they are graciously allowing their jun
iors to have prior call on sealskin.
This rule applies especially to fur
coats intended for street use, and Of
these there are large number Of styles
to suit the individual purse.
Stoles are of infinite variety. Some
Of them are 80 long that they reach
far below the knees and at the back
cover the shoulders halfway to the
waist line. In fact, so large are they
that sleeves would almost be sufficient
to transform them into coats. The
fat, broad stole is always at It's best

The Mexican military prisons of San

Cruz, and the Santiago, at the capital.
Jalapa, are to be completely remodel
ed when the new military prison now
being completed at Parote, state Of
Vera Cruz, will be ready for occupan-
cy. The latter, II is claimed, is to be
supplied with all modern sanitary i'm
provements and will accommodate
1000 prisoners. 1t will be an agree
able change for the unfortunates now
at San Juan de Ulua when they are
removed from sea level to an altitude
of about 1000 feet, where the climate
is almost equal TO the temperate zone.

A house decorator gives this impor-
tant advice to women who are arrang-
ing their homes. They should not
hang curtains of one color against a
wall paper Of another color. They
should not join carpets of opposite
colors. They should not put different
papers on the walls Of adjoining rooms
which have wide archways or folding
doors between. These are simple sug-
gestions, but they mean great deal.
The woman who is guided by them
will arrive at much better results than
she who ignores them. When 1t is not
possible to have the carpets alike in
rooms that are Joined by wide open

canada's Postal Savings Banks.

There are some conveniences about
a postal savings bank system, like that
Of Canada, for instance, which must
be highly appreciated by certain
classes Of depositors. A person may
open an account at one postoffice and
continue 1t at any number of other Of
flces, depositing wherever he may hap
pen to be, and yet have the whole
amount at his command at any one
Office should he wish to withdraw 1t.
This is made easy by the fact that his
account is kept at the postmaster gen.
erals Office in Ottawa. A family NOV
ing from one place to another does not
have to draw its money from the saw
ings bank and carry 1t along at the
risk of robbery. II finds the amount
at its disposal wherever it goes. A

twenty towns, has the sum Of all avail

orviIIe wrisht's schoolboy Essay.


II was in high school at Dayton at
the same time as Orville Wright, now
famed as inventor of the aeroplane,"
remarked Ernest P. Crummel. I'VE
were not in the same class, but l re-
member one essay that Wright pre-
pared for one of the literary pro-
grammes. 1t was about airships, and
Wright read from his paper that the
time would come when men would
navigate the air.
"He read on so enthusiastically that
the other students all laughed good
naturedly at him for writing along
such foolish lines. They all told him
q man would be crazy to try to ride
an airship. But, as everybody knows
today, Wright's youthful enthusiasm
has carried him along to success and
fame in just that very direction."- =
