Among all the marvels of artificial lacemakng
there is nothing ingenious than the method by
which the Plauen laces are produced. The design
is embroidered upon soluble cloth made for the
purpose and then the foundation is dissolved away,
leaving a genuine punto in aria lace, although made
on the machine for puto in aria literally means
stitch in the air-that is, without a foundation.
The foundation cloth used is of animal fibre, while
the embroidery thread is a vegetable fibre The

dissoves the animal fibre, while it leaves the vege

CHRONICLES EXCELLENT PLAN.
The Hampton Chronicle has fou

The Hampton Chronicle has found
the proper basis for harmony. The
plan in effect is to fight out the sena-
torial succession fairly in the pri-
mary. When that is settled by the
election of Governor Cummins, har-
mony will naturally settle down upon
the state is the prediction expressed in
the following excerpt from the Chron-
icle's editorial columns of last week:
The political situation in Iowa is
following a more common sense plan
than for years. The fact that Governor
Cunmins and Senator Allison have
announced and agreed to abide by the
decision Of the primary eliminates
practically all factionally feeling from
county and local politics. FL county
politics we are all interested in secur-
ing the best men for the offices, and SO
far as the legislature is concerned,
with the question of United States
senator settled at the primary by the
direct vote of the people, each county
ought to nominate and elect one of its
most representative men for that hon
orable position of trust and responsi-
bility. Eliminate the senatorial fight
and we will find many more progress
sive advocates, but after fighting per-
sonalities over one man for several
years some people just hate to give
up
With that question out Of the way all
will be harmony for progressive prin-
ciples and the standpatters will lose
many fighters from their ranks. With
Governor Cummins in the senate the
railroad bosses will give up and then
the people will begin to take in the
situation in an unprecedented manner
