NEEDLEWoRK NOTES.

Cross stitch is growing in popularity
and very beautiful floral pieces are
now being made for cushions and ta-
BILE covers.
1t is always better to make a stem
in sewing on a button, as If it is sewed
tightly it will more easily tear out the
material. Take loose stitches and then
wind them on the right side with the
thread four or five times.
For wear tucked into the top Of the
corset steels are dainty little heart
shaped sachets Of scented wadding.
covered with soft silks or scraps Of
ribbon. The latter is sewed end to end
and intwined basket fashion. A fri1
Of lace completes it.
1t is a good idea to line all collars to
frocks with white, as it does not dis
color with perspiration nor rub of on
the neck. Besides 1t shows when 1t is
dirty, which is a hint to the careful
woman that It needs changing. A
thin silk that does not cut easily is the
best for this purpose.
One OF the stunningest new sofa pill
lows is made Of coarse crash. In con-
structing it use two pieces eighteen
inches square, the front and the back.
The former can be decorated with
three large conventional tulips placed
side by side and running to the top OF
the cushion. These are cut from leath-
er, painted in natural shades and then
glued to the cover The deep reds and
soft greens are more effective on the
neutral background Of crash.
A pretty gift for a baby is a little
down pillow covered with a dainty
white cover. one end of which is EN-
broidered in white poppies and the
words. Early to Bed" The pillow
should be made of soft blue ticking
filed with down instead Of feather.
and made very light and fluffy. Two
dainty covers should be made to 60
with the gift Use no colors in the
embroidery effect Just a trace of blue
will reflect through the white cover

Miss Winterbotham was a student Of
Bryn Mawr and there imbibed some
altrulstic Ideas. When III health COM
PEELED her to give up her college course
she went TO visit her brother. who is a
cotton manufacturer in Virginia. Many
Of his employees were then ignorant Of
how to make life comfortable. Miss
Winterbotham made the acquaintance
of the women workers and the mems
wives and suggested improvement in
such a tRetful manner that her sugges-
tons were followed. Out Of gratitude
for her interest in his employees her
brother made her welfare manager of
his factories. He realized that happy
and contented employees meant high

Other employers IN the south heard of
the good work she had done. and a
number OF other manufacturers asked
her to come and see what she could
do for their people.

PrseIou. Stones and PASTE

Glass. or paste" as 1t is called IS
made which cannot when new be dis
tlnguished from diamonds by any one
but an expert armed with the neces-
sary tests.
And the same IS true as to paste imi-
tations OF all precious stones excepting
the emerald (whose beautiful green
tint cannot be exactly obtained. the
cats eye. which has a peculiar fbrous
structure. and the opal. The real value
and quality Of precious stones as COM
pared with glass depend on their dura-
blllty. their hardness. their resistance
TO scratching and "dulling" Of face
and edge.
Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors
made gems Of glass and paste. II is
only in modern times that the art Of
making artificial precious stones" has
reached a degree Of perfection which.
so far as decorative purposes are con-
cerned. leaves the natural stones no

THE ORIGIN OF WOMAN.
An Advance Upon the Old Time Rib
Theory.

An HoNance upon the Old lime KID
Theory.
The Hindoos say that Twashtri, the
Vulcan Of Hindoo mythology. created
the world, but that when he had made
all other things and had come to the
creation of what was to be his chef
douvre he found to his annoyance
that he had run ont Of materials. He
had not a single chunk Of solid mate
rial left. With a mental execration
upon his carelessness he fell into a
profound meditation. the result Of
which was the following formula. the
recipe for the creating Of the sweet
confectiOn known as woman:
He took. according to the legend,
''the rOundness of the moon, the undu-
lating curves Of the serpent. the grace
full twist OF the creeping plant. the
light shivering of the grass blade and
the slenderness Of the willow, the vel
vety softness Of the flowers. the light
ness Of the feather. the gentle gaze Of
the doe. the frolicsomeness of the sun
beam. the tears of the cloud. the in.
constancy of the wind the timidity OF
the hare. the vanity Of the peacock
the hardness Of the diamond. the cru,
city Of the tiger. the heat Of the fire
the chill Of the snow. the cackling OF
The parrot and the cooling of the turtle.
dove"
He mixed these together in equal
proportions and the result was WON
an. Isn't that about as good a guess
as any? After all, isn't this an ad-
vance upon the rib theory?

from a bank with which to pay his

returned home the same evening and
about 9 o'clock as he was sitting in his

the door he found himself looking into a
six-shooter held in the hands Of heav-

money ON hand he started into another
room to procure it when the robber
stopped him and ordered him to take
the light with him. After getting the
5000 and what change he had in his
pocket the robber seemed satisfied with
the amount and after very forcefully
telling Mr.. Norris that il he ever told
anyone Of what had occurred he would
return and kill him, he cut the tele-
phone wires and made his departure
Mr.. Norris was so badly frightened that
he did not attempt to leave the house or
give the alarm that night ana since then
has not staid at home Of nights. He
did not tell OF the incident for some
time for fear that the robber would re4
turn and carry ont his threat but his un-
usual actions aroused the curiosity OF
some of the neiahbors and after much
persuasion he finally told his story to a
neie who guarded the secret but it
finally leaked out and a correspondent
OF the Star Observer learned of the Incl
dent and it is now for the first time
given to the public.
