Pin Cushions, Pen Wipers.

A new method has been found
where white velvet may be tinted In
the highest and most delicate of pas
tel colors, and this new material Ia
used TO make charming little pin cush-
ions and pen wipers. Magnificent
sofa cushions for light and perishable
drawing-rooms, too, are made OF the
material, and if darker shades are
used, the velvet makes a charming
cover for the sofa cushions In the IL
brary. OF course, it must be borne in
mind that the material cannot be
washed; therefore, the careful house
keeper will see that it Is not placed
in a position where 1t Is exposed to
dirt and dust AS the art Of tinting
the material becomes better under
stood the velvet may be used for pur-
poses not yet thought of, and 1t re-
mains for the clever woman to decide
now the novelty may be employed to
her advantage.

Satisfying and Economical for the
Summer Cottage.

For the summer cottage straw can
die and lamp shades will be found sat
fsfactory and economical. They shed
charming light through the woven
strands of sweet grass. of which they
are made. and they are both inexpen.
sive and long-lived The grass used
in weaving them is the same seen In
the Canadian baskets. which possess
such delicate and delicious odor.
The pieces of grass are woven round
and round the shade, which Is shaped
either with circular base or one In
hexagonal form. From there the shade
slopes gradually, and 1t has a narrow
outstanding finish at the top. The
seams are made by weaving In a
coarser grass, and at the top and bot
tom edge a thicker kind, and one of a
darker shade Of green gives pretty
and substantial rim.
There is no striking color in these
shades, the grasses blending pale vel.
low and light green tones In such a
way that the general effect Is neither
the one nor the other color For this
reason sweet grass shades can be used
in any dining-room. Their freshness
makes them particularly attractive for
summer use. They are offered In sew
eral sizes ranging from the small can
die shade to the larger ones intended
to covet an electric light.
When soiled or dusty all they require
is careful wiping off with a damp
cloth.

M0ELLER MAKES AN OFFER

Representative from the police commissioners will appear before the board of finance this afternoon and ask for an appropriation from the city which will allow the department all automobile to he used as m anibul- ance and in special instances of neces- sity.
 Mir. Moeller, representing the Com tinental Automobile company, has ot- fercd a s9,70O machine for $2.700, a $i,0OO reduction. and many of the commissioners do not think that this ls an offer to be desplsed So this afternoon they will ask for the s2,7oO appropriation for the ambulance and patrol wagon, Commissioners Dean and Maxwell will appear.
 That an automatic ambulance should be procured there Is no doubt Under the present conditions it often takes a long time to get an injured person to the hospital and with an automobile lt is believed that the time will be greatly shortened
 The police board will have to ask the finance board for sIo0 appro- pration for new horses anyway, and for s2OO appropriation for caring for the horses. Next year there would have to he an extra appropria- ton for caring for the horses an1 considering the service the oppropria ton asked by the police board Is ap- parently the most reasonable and iat- isfactory,

BOB EATON ROBBED
Internal Revenue Collector Loses $500 on Trip to
 Hartford.
HIS POCKET WAS PICKED
Thieves Who Have Come to Attend Bridge Celebration Busy
 Already.

Robert O. Eaton, the genial collec- tor of internal revenue, who before he was collector of internal revenue was deputy dairy commissioner, is quietly mourning for $500 which was picked from his pocket on recent trip to Hartford.
 With the approach of the bridge celebration in Hartford that city has increased it's population somewhat by an addition of Knights of the Road These knights, finding picking dull in Hartford, have infested the railroad trains and have prospered to a greater or less extent, 1t is said
 The other morning Collector Eaton went up to the capital city and in his pocket had a roll of $500 When he left the New Haven depot he had the $500. Half way up he had the $500 In the Hartford depot he discovered that the $500 was gone and was SC good natured that he only smiled.
 MT Eaton has complained of the rather annoying occurrence to the police, but has no hope of getting the money back He is taking the loss very philosophically, and will attend the bridge celebration later in the month.
