instead Of using the eyelet stitch for the
circles, French knots or the seed stitch
may be used.
The blouse for which the design is in
tended is. of course. fastened In the
back. Lace medallions may be placed
just between the smaller and the larger
designs at the shoulders. while insertion
trims the collar and sleeves. Around the
medallions of lace may be arranged a
row Of French knots. and they can also
be used around the neck Just below The
collar.
The design Is placed upon the blouse
so that q jumper may be worn. and the
long deep point in the center Of the front
Is becoming to every one.
Lingerie waists are always prettier
and more useful when done in white on
white background. Then they can be
worn with any suit Of any shade. If

would be charming worked solid or in

The easiest way to make the braid Is
to cut a piece Of soft taffeta ribbon in
three equal parts, pin them together TO
the top of a chair and begin to pla1t. As
the braid gets longer it may be again
fastened to the chair. just so that there
is always a firm hold on the ribbon:

NEW denim curtains are decorated
IN with trees and art nouveau fiow-
ers in some contrasting color
red. brown or green. Some industrious
women even use a twining vine or poin-
setta design. which runs from the bot
tom of the curtain to within two feet Of
the pole. The idea is very good. for In
trimming of curtains of either denim or
burlap. the design may be pasted on or
machine stitched around the edge. 1t In
true that it gives a sort OF outre effect
to room, but when used in the library
or den" their appearance is not un-
appropriate. Many women carry out
the same idea in the table cover OF tan
linen with blossoms of burlap In the
latter case, of course the design must
be stitched to the cover. for the con.
slant washing would certainly ruin II.

Making Lamp Shades

TN MAKING candle shades. lamp
shades and hats at home the first
work to be done Is to wrap the
whole frame with one-inch bias oanos
of silk or cotton. This keeps the wire
from showing through in such ugly
lines, and it forms foundation to which
the outer covering may be sewn.
To this rule there is one exception
when the covering is to be panels OF
denim or cretonne faced all round with
braid. Then the material may be
brought around the frame. leaving the
raw edge on the right side. and after
the cover is sewn tight into place the
edges may be trimmed close and the
braid sewn on.
In choosing cretonne for lamp
shade those with design including
basket of flowers are very satisfactory,
for each one may be used for a panel of
the shade. Bouquets, Of flowers, too,
are most suitable for the purpose, out q
cretonne with a small design does not
look so we'll.

COLO. RIVER INDIANS
VIII Struggle TO Keep Land--Aim to
Acquire Individual Holdings.

When the new branch of the Santa
Fr and the projected Spreckels line
between San Diego and Yuma have
opened the vast undeveloped mineral
territory of the southern end of the
state and the large, fertile but now
arid mesas contiguous to the Colorado
river, the old struggle between the
white men to gain possession of the
land anil the Indians to retain what
little is left of the great empire they
once owned will be renewed.
But this time, as the land Office Off
cials here and the Indian agents on the
reservations have learned, the white
man will not face stolid, grunting an
tagonist. but determined body of red
men held at their last stand by active
minded, intelligent leaders who have
decided that they and their people
shall become private land owners them
selves, and as such defy all future
threats of encroachment.
Already the struggle has begun be-
gun the tribesmen and the white in
vaders attracted by the copper and
gold lure OF the country tapred by the
