 Intense and thrilling is that moment in "rhe Fighting Hope" when Blanche Bates, the star crccps to the big safe in the library of Burton Temples home tc get hold of the letter yindleatlns her imprisoned husband In the preceding act she had placed the paper there with her own hands, and, at the first opportunity, when alone in the room, she works the combination, opens the heavy safe door and gets the all-im- portant evidence of her husbands in- nocence,
 But at recent performance tho steel door of the safe refused to move on its hingcs and after several mo- ments of strenuous effort Miss Bates began to think she had forgotten the combination. The scene Is carried on in pantomlne and its dramatic value
 lies in It's power to keep the audience on edse,until the safe door swings out ward To prolong this period of sus- pcnse Miss Bates knew would spoil the scene entirely So, when the moments crept by and her efforts to dislodge the heavy portal proved futile, she grew desperate Temple, tho man she was trying to send to prison in place of hor husband might enter any second, An- other wrench at tho handle of the door was of no avail, She was growing eX- trcmcly nervous,

Leather and Chair Seats

IT'S a very good idea when a enaaf
needs reseating to make It over with
a seat Of leather. 1t wears Tor q
much longer time than a cane seat ano
is in the end. far less expensive. Inc
leather may be procured at any mar
ness makers. and strips about one ana
one-half inches wide are needed. These
ara woven in and out and fastened to
the four sides OF the chair. 1t will re-
ouire for the average-size chair ABOUT
eight strips either way. When brass
tacks fasten each strip at the END IL
makes real good-looking affair.
This sort of seat is particularly effective
n the chair Is made Of flemish oak or
mission style. and It is an admirable ad-
t1ition to the furniture.

A New Use for Raphia

TT 10 a new idea to use raphia for EN-.
broidery. and It IL indeed a very
good one. for raphia may be secured
IN almost all shades. red. brown. yell
low, blue and green. Il looks ex.
tremely effective. too. when used to
decorate curtains or other household
furnishings. A curtain OF burlap. for
instance. In green may be made
artistic and beautiful by an en-
broidered border OF red and brown
raphia- The beauty Of the raphia IL
that the work is quite easy and the
results are remarkably good. while.
at the same time. the materials for
working cost practically nothing.
One may buy a bunch OF raphia-
what would correspond to q large
skein of wool yarn-for 10 cents.
The raphia may be used on many
materials; denim. for instance. fine
netting or q coarse cotton material
The needle used should be a darnins
needle, and IL the raphia is too thick
1t may be split to the required size.

know on whose 'firing line" he
was in the campaign of 1895
when he bolted the nomination
of Bryan & Stevenson and voted
for Palmer & Buckner? Thisopen
letter also says that Judge WAL
