1t serves to show the use to which
this novel material can be put in the
decoration of dens or any room in
the house.
Whether or not there is any COM
mercial value in this idea remains to
be seen. AS a fascinating employ
ment for any member of the family
and one that will entail absolutely no
expense-save for few cents for the
liquid glue-it should prove a prize
winner.
And, after all, why should not this
idea have a commercial value? Nov
elites of d similar character have
been taken up, and made the origi-
natOr, provided he carried out the
enterprise himself, wealthy. The ex-
pertinent might very well be worth
trying, especially by those somewhat
artistically inclined.
Among those grateful TO the Origi-
nator of this idea will be a vast army
of housewives, victims of the Sunday
supplement. whose husbands and
children will have at last found use
for the family waste paper.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1908-04-19

ter this prolonged soaking the paper
was found to be in shape to permit
of it's being pulled apart into shreds
small enough and soft enough to be
passed through the domestic meat
grinder.
This was the second process. After
it came through the meat grinder the
paper had assumed a greenish hue,
quite artistic and attractive and the
shreds had become small particles Of
pulp, soft and pliable. With this ma
terial the experiment was tried of
fashioning figures. They looked very
pretty ard odd, but something was
wrong. The mass would not bind.
Its cohesiveness was lost when the
pulp dried It simply disintegrated
and crunlbled apart.
The pulp was soaked again and this
time some liquid glue was mixed in
with it and the mass kneaded togeth-
er until sufficient material of the COM
bined kind had been prepared for an
other experiment. The figures fash
toned of this material-simply paper
pulp and little liquid glue-held As
firmly as cement.
1t proved an easy matter to manip-
ulate the pulp 1T retains its pulpit
ness for a long time after being soak
ed ana ground, ana can De readily

at first, that of decorating an ordinary
wooden box A photograph of the
change worked in this commonplace
box is shown. With the pulp artist,
cally laid on-Temember the mate
rial is a greenish color, like corroded
bronZe-the ordinary wooden box be-
came handsome and decidedly odd
looking glove case or depository for
odds and ends of ribbons. A plain
pickle jar, as seen in another photo
graph when decorated with two side
pieces of paper pulp grapes became
a pretty little jug suitable as an or
nament for mantel or bureau.
The experiment was halted for a
day or two, in order to make thor
ough test of the permanently of the
material before going to further
trouble. 1t was found that the paper
pulp dried up 50 hard that it could
not be cut with a knife. 1T was as
time-defying as hardened cement.
Then more ambitious flights were
attempted. The figure of the child
with the candle was fashioned and
painted. 1t made a most attractive
wall ornament. To convey an idea
of how pretty a frieZe a thing of this
kind would look the photograph of
the cnild's figure was printed several
times, mounted and re-photographed.

There's an interesting and profit
able field for exploration in the domes-
tic ash barrel and the receptacle for
the family waste paper. An enor-
nous quantity Of paper accumulates
around the house these days. The
Sunday supplements are largely re-
sponsible. Your wife and mine scarce
~ know. what TO do W., the mass of
discarded reading matter that the
members of the family leave around.
The furnace is fed with some of it
and when this can take no more
without risk of an attack of indiges-
ton, the paper is heaped upon the
back lots and burned The only per-
sons who seem to have found use
for 1t are the foragers~ OF the slum

M|LADY s GOWNS
What Fashion Makers of the
East and Abroad
Have Decreed.
By Catherine Mann-Pavzant.

New York. April 1S-A trip through
the shops of New York this week
showed me no very new modes or
models, but rather the elimination Of
all that was extreme, a modification
of new but Unbecoming styles and a
development of some clever ideas.
In skirts there is a return to the
plain gored model which fits closely
in the front and sides. They resem-
bic somewhat the old-fashiOned pull
backs of some years ago, but a new
note is borrowed from the new paquiu
skirt in having a few little gathers
across the front and sufficient full
ness N the back The same rules
obtain here as with the plated skirts
that they fit with a nice eXactness
across the hips. Many are the modi-
fcauons in arrangement of trimming
IN these gered models. When made
CT striped materials the-stripes met in
VS. on the seams Stripes printed or
woven on panamds and seTSes and
mOnairS and SiCilians still head the
list for tailor-mades The chevTon
stripes are extremely popular in mo-
hairs and such lines of materials. AS
to the length of skirts there Is a ten
dency to lengtnen the modes. but for
the strictly trotteur skirt, which will
be used only on the street the length
is ABOUT four inches from the ground.
\ smart feature of the high-cIass
tailored suit is the separate waist
coat. and while the weather IS cold
enough great many variations will
be seen in its development. And a
number of them may be used with
the same costume thus making many
changes either dressy or otherwise
as preferred, and a number of waist
coats in white pique or embroidered
linen VIII be an addition to any ward
robe.
The use of the overblouse is still
a favOrite idea. as it makes an entire
costume possible and also accords
with the lingerie, net or lace guimpe,
making those changes possible with
the one dress.
Soft silks and cotton fabrics are
best suited TO guimpes, under over
blouses OF wolfe, silk crepe and rajah.
Many ways are used in finishing the
overblouse, burt one of the most popu-
lar is the circular-shaped bands
around the neck, armholes. and bot
tom of the very short sleeves or

STANLEY OF the new st. Mary $ church

There was an enormous crowd in at

parts of the county, many non-Catllol-
les wishing to be present at the dedl-
cation of the beautiful structure which
the energy and enthusiasm OF Father
Schardt and the devotion and public
spirit OF his parishioners had caused
To be erected To the old-timerS of
the county it seems like a dream tosee
such building occupying place
where but few years ago there was
nothing but bare prairie.
The dedicatory sermon was preached
in German by Father Becker, and the
ceremonies OF dedication and OF the
mass were very impressive.
The priests residence, close To the
church, is a commodious and WE'LL
built structure, such a building as one
would expect to see i'm parish with
regard enough for their religion To
erect such a beautiful strucl IRE as this
church.
In his remarks in English to the
congregation Bishop Stanley said he
knew of no church in the state that
was more beautifully arranged in the
