LATEST IN PLACE CARDS.
Imitation Flowers and Vegetables
Made of Paper Used.


The newest place cards are copies
of vegetables and flowers in paper, the
former being the newer, but more
difficult to manage.
Among the garden contributions are
beets and asparagus, either in single
stalks or in small bundles tied with
a bit of straw Or ribbon; radishes,
baby heads of lettuce, tomatoes and
cucumbers. The miniature flowers and
vegetables are arranged on a fiat foun-
dalton of cardboard with a small plain
white card left for the name Of the
guest to be written on.
Flowers made of paper are simpler
to manage than vegetables, for one
thing, because they are comparatively
fiat or are made in a series of petals
In selecting a set of paper luncheon
place cards it Is essential, first, to
choose flower whose color matches
that of the floral centerpiece, and the
wise hostess eliminates all red and
heavy looking flowers from her decora-
lions; then the flowers should either
be all alike or they should be of the
same size, though varied in shape and
coloring.
First, the flower design is sketched
on bristol board, then it is cut out
and the petals are padded with little
cotton, wool, or with crumpled paper
Over these padded sections tinted
Grape paper Is stretched and these
edges are pasted to the edges of the
cardboard foundation. If the flower
has a heart, then that Is added in the
correct shade of paper. Next the
leaves and stems are covered with a
wash in green. The small rectangu-
lar bit of cardboard for the writing
is left undecorated. A little water
color here and there on the petals
will help to give the paper flowers a
more natural air. Sometimes the tips
need a touch, or there should be q
darker shade aroupd the center.

GIFT FOR A BRIDE.
This Dainty Piece of underwear VIII
Be Very Acceptable.

II friend is to be married, and one
is sure that silver and gold will be
showered upon them, why not give her
a dainty piece of underwear that she
can't duplicate in the shops?
One Of the new evening petticoats
made of net would be a most accept
able choice. If the bride-to-be goes
into society even the least bit, she
will want one thin, dainty petticoat
to>wear under her soft evening frock.
Silk ones have always been plenti-
full at small and high prices; muslin
ones with hand embroidery and lace
are considered more elegant than silk,
even for ball gowns, but they are be-
yond the purse of the average girl.
The fashionable thing is this net
underskirt, which is to aid the cling
ing serpentine effect of all the new
skirts.
To make one, get the coarse net
that carries starch and has body. Cut
it by seven-gored pattern, fitting the
hips, and trim it with three deep Span
ish ruffies, which are deliberately
trimmed.
The edges are rolled and finished
with three-inch founces of good lace.
Above this are fine tucks dividing two
inch lace insertion. Each ruffle is put
on with lace beading an inch wide,
through which is threaded colored
satin ribbon that is finished with long
ends at the left side
Do not make the skirt to touch the
ground. This is entirely out of fashion
The lining must carry any long skirt
and the petticoat must be cut off at
the ankles.
The inconvenient days of holding up
a long petticoat are over, for which
women are devoutly thankful. The
short full petticoat, exactly even in
line around the ankles, is the pretty
one.
1t allows freedom of walking and
dancing. and gives a pretty glimpse
of smart stockings and shoes when
the skirt Is lifted. In truth, no petit
coat should be cut any longer, and
the ordinary ones for street wear are
now cut three inches above the ankle.

NEGRO MAN is TURNING WHITE.
Drinking from Spring Containing Ar
senic Is Given as Cause.

Tulsa, Okla.-Jackson Warribale, a
Creek negro, who lives five miles
southeast of Mannford, is slowly turn
ing white, and from a slim negro,
weighing less than 140 pounds, he has
changed, within three months. to a
portly man weighing 225 pounds.
Warribale's case battles the most
skilled physicians in this section of
the country.
About two years ago he moved to
the Harjo allotment, where he now re-
sides. His metamorphosis dates from
that time. He attributes it to drink
ing water from a mineral spring on
the Harjo place. Certain it is that
SOON after coming onto the Harjo
place the transformation from black
to white began.
Large white blotches appeared here
and there over his body. At first he
thought the blotches were ringworms,
and tried to check them, but without
avail. Gradually the patches enlarged.
until now Warribale has almost
emerged" from his native black skin.
The change in color has been accom-
panied by remarkable Improvement
in health. When Warribale came to
live on the Harjo place he gave evil
dence, of being afflicted with consump-
ton. To-day he is robust and strong,
and ill-health is thing of the past.
Recently chemical analysis was
made of the spring from which the
negro has been drinking, which
showed it to contain sulphur and ar
senic in heavy quantities. Only two
other springs of like nature are known
in the world, one being in Mexico and
the other in India. Both have a won
derful reputation because of their
curative powers.

KITCHEN DoNT'S.

Don't rinse laces in blued water
under a mistaken notion that 1t will
improve the color. 1t won't. Rinse
in skinned milk, which will give a
soft, creamy tint.
Don't fill an oil or any other kind Of
stove or lamp when it is lighted. This
seems superfiuous advice, but with
the coming Of hot weather cannot be
too often repeated.
Don't leave a gas stove with any
thing which may boil oyer-milk or
soup-and extinguish the flame. Be-
sides the loss of gas, there is danger
of an explosion. Don't turn of the
gas at the main, unless the taps are
all off as we'll
Don't light the kitchen fire unless
there is water in the boiler. If not,
the rush of cold water is liable to
crack the boiler.

examples of the milliner's art for the
SITTER and more conventional head
gear which is usually shown for early
autumn styles. The Charlotte Corday
shapes, especially those with high
crowns and brims which are little
dropping, are quite appropriate for
wear in town after midsummer is past,
and for best occasions will be worn
through the autumn. To render these
hats a little less summary looking,

has not yet been determined Several
opinions have been advanced.
Some think Mrs Wonderlich did not
make the hole big enough to accom-

Others believe that air gathered in

ADOPT WHITE QUEEN
MEXICAN INDIANS HONOR WIFE
OF MINE OWNER.
Acclamation Ceremony Follows Night
of Hubbub by Tribesmen Carry
ing Gifts-Friendship Won
by Acts Of Kindness.

Mexico City-The Indians of Zacu-
alpam have adopted in due form and
ceremony an American woman for
their queen. The person who has
just been SO highly honored is Mrs.
Maria Perry Eisenhart, wife of H. l..
Eisenhart, an American mining man
who has a rich mine in the Zacualpam
district
Mrs. Eisenhart won the warm
friendship of the Indians by her many
acts of kindness toward them. She
visited them in their humble homes
and administered to their wants when
sick. She interested herself in their
everyday life and traditions. She
had little outside of the lowly In
dams to afford her amusement or
arouse her interest in the remote
mountain mining camp where she and
her husband lived. She had no idea,
however, that the distinguished honor
of making her queen of the tribe was
to be conferred upon her. The In
dams who inaugurated the movement
to make her their queen went about
the arrangement so quietly that it
was not until all of their plans for the
big event were finished that she~ be-
came aware of what was about to be
done.
On the day selected for the impor-
tant ceremonies several hundred In
sdians went to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eisenhart at three o'clock in the
morning and began making a great
hubbub. They added to the noise by
'discharging firearms and beating up
on tin pans. Mr.. and Mrs. Eisenhart
at first thought that their home was
being attacked, but upon going to the
door they were informed by the lead
'er of the unique celebration that they
had come to do special honor to Mrs
Eisenhart and that it was but the be-
ginning Of the ceremony which was
to mark the event of making Mrs.
Eisenhart their queen.
The noise on the outside of the
house was kept up until daybreak,
when whole families of Indians began
arriving from remote parts of the
mountain region, each of them carry
..
Eisenhart. The presents were depos-
tied in one of the rooms of the house,
and Mrs. Eisenhart welcomed each
guest in true regal style.
phe officials Of the Indian village
called during the morning to pay
their respects, all of them pledging
their support to her reign over the
tribe as their queen. The ceremony
OF browning Mrs. Eisenhart as "Reina
de las Sierras." or queen of the noun
fains, took place at ten o'clock in the
morning upon an elevated platform
which had been erected for the pur-
pose. 1t was an impressive event, In
which aged Indians participated. The
chief Of the tribe placed beautiful
silver-trimmed crown upon the head
Of Mrs. Eisenhart, and she was Off
cially declared to be queen Of the
Zacualpams. This crown was the
handiwork of expert silversmiths
among the Indians, and is of unique
and beautiful workmanship. The sill
yer from which it was made was OBJ
tanned from the mountains, and
smelted in crude way by the In
dams.
The duties of Mrs. Eisenhart as
queen are purely nominal She is
consulted on many simple affairs of
the tribe, and her wishes and orders
are implicitly obeyed.
