wise to make eyelets for the ribbon
instead of using a beading OF any
kind. These eyelets are quickly and
easily made. and 1t is quite unneces-
sary to make them very close to-
gether. They may even be two inches
apart.
Cache corsets and chemises are
also embroidered around the decol-
letage. and both absolutely require
eyelets, for they are SO much more
satisfactory. Lace may be omitted
entirely, unless individual taste re-
uuires that it shall be used around

Furniture Slips

THE old-time slips for furniture OF
striped linen. with seams bound in
4 red braid, have been supplanted
by very much more decorative cover
ings. These are made Of pretty Powered
cretonnes or art tickings. and are fitted
in with little pleats. thus avoiding so
many long seams. The necessary seams
are managed in a perfectly simple way:
they are stitched upon the wrong side,
creased. turned and stitched on the
right side. forming tiny welt not an
eighth Of an inch in width. The bottom

with box pleating. The effect is Of an
upholstered chair. rather than of a slip
which. however. it really is, being
made to protect the more costly cover
ing and to give cooler "feer' to the
furniture for warm-weather use.
Adopting such slips might serve the
purpose OF hiding worn upholstery pend
ing the time when one feels like having
the furniture done over"

and. of course. the first thing to do is to
aeightsn the crown. for the brim may be
any size. There are three ways of doing
this. The first is to cut the straw and set
in piece Of buckram. which is after

second Is to build false top with straw.
but the third is easiest of all, and Is
very much the style this spring. Get
straight piece of buckram the width of
the whole crown. which would be per-
haps four or five inches: cover this with
taffeta the same shade as the hat itself,
then take a straight piece of iilet net a
little bit larger than the buckram and
embroider it practically solid with a
heavy silk floss. This is not very diff
cult to do. for it Is necessary only to run
silk In and out. The outline may be
made first and filled in later When il is
combined with little bit of gold thread
or the outline is just of gold thread. the
effect is very good. These bands may be
embroidered in any way desired: designs
OF flowers are practical, or the solid
Walls OF Troy design is very effective
Sometimes 1t is found easier, instead OF
using the silk floss. to embroider the
flet net Of very wide mesh with chen

the silk and buckram and place it around
TIE crown of the hat so that it joins OH
the left side, where the seam is covered
by a buckle-which is made by plating
three strands OF One-inch taffeta ribbon
together and bastng it on a square form

FIVE ARE RESCUED
AFTER A THRILLING EXPERIENCE
 IN HURRICANE.
Schooner Mary D. Judge of Mobile Goes Down at sea--sfnte of Schooner Swept Overheard and
 Drowned.


 San Juan. P. R.. Sept. fs.--After . thrilling experience In a hurricane. Capt. J. D. Morris and five seamen of the schooner Mary B Judge. from Mo- bile for San Juan. were rescued early Thursday morning by the steamer Ju- 1ia Luchenbach.
 The Luchenbach under command of Capt. W. J. Council, arrived here from New York today. having on board the rescued men whose physical condition shows that they have passed through severe experiences.
 The Mary B :. Judge left Mobile for San Juan, August g. with a cargo af lumber She was due here in the early part of September, but during com siderable part of the voyage calms pre- vailed. She ran into gaie on Sep- -tember 10. and on the following day 1t had developed into a hurricane. The schooner's masts were carried away and she was absolutely helpelss. The heavy seas opened her seams and she soon filled with water. The captain and his crew lashed themselves to the top. of the poop. which vas the only part of the vessel above the water.
 All they had succeeded in saving was little hard tack and gallon of wa ter.
 The water was exhausted in twenty four hours and the hard tack was doied one to each man daily. On the 18th K Ae men caught two gallons of rain and When rescued at a. m. on Thursday they still had a gallon left and eight hard tacks.
 They had almost abandoned hope. re- aiizing that their position was off the regular course of vessels, but neverthe- less a strict lookout was kept. the men taking turns at the watch, although ai- most exhausted and with their hands and feet badly swollen. The light of the Luckenbach was seen at H.40 We'd nesday night. With some matches and a few splinters clipped from the rail. a fire was started in tin bucket. and this was kept burning as long as tho stock of matches held out.
 The Luckenbach was 100 miles on her course, having proceeded in that direction to avoid the hurricane. Chief Oficer Thomas Haley sighted the little fire on the schooner several miles away and bore down upon 1t. The sea was very rough, but volunteers headed by inc second mate, William E Steele, were not wanting, and soon life boat was launched. Coming close to where inc men on the schooner were huddled together, it was found impossible to bring the boat near enough the wreck age to take them of. and one by one, on orders from Steele, they leaped into the sea and were dragged aboard The rescued men were:
 Bernard Russell. Alfred Harris, Her bert strand. Leon Freeman. Daniel Jackson and Captain Morris. The mate of the schooner, George Mccoy. was swent overheard on September IS and drowned. The rescue took place in lat Itude 26 degrees. IS minutes north; longitude T degrees. 27 minutes west.

Alexandria, La. Sept. 1s.--A mania for killing took possession of Edward Ayles. a negro prisoner. when his death warrant for the murder of his wife was read to him in jail this afternoon. He grabbed a case knife and slew swo two other prisoners and severely wounded four, all negroes. One of the wounded may die.
 During the reading of the warrant, AyIes was quiet and smffing. but when the officers left his presence he be- came furious. The screams of wounded and dying prisoners attracted almost 1. 900 persons to the vicinity of the jail. Meanwhile jail officers played a fire hose on Ayles, the cold water finally bringing him back to reason.
 The dead are Tip Davis and Garfield Bradley.
