FINE TUCKED MALiNE NET.
Material IL Largely Taking Place Of
Lace and Chiffon.

: For yokes, collars and cuffs fine
tucked maine net is now used to
no small extent, and even threatens to
temporarily take the place of silk lace
and chiffon in Jokes and separate
guimpes. This net is, of course, I'M
usually fine and cheap, so that it is de-,
lightfully cool to wear, besides from
an economical standpoint being great
advantage in that it can be replaced
whenever soiled at far less expense
than when costly lace yoke must be
replenished. A lining of chiffon and
mousseline de sole is necessary in this
thin net yoke and collar in order to
keep the soft net from pulling out of
shape and tearing. "~.> -

she heard a scramble which told her
the burglar was warned of her pres
ence in the house. She threw open
the door and ran into the room, just
in time to see the man struggling to
raise window.
Leveling the pistol she fired a shot
at the man just as he tore up the sash
and leaped head first through the win
dow. Running to the window, Mrs
Van Horn, now frightened for the
safety of her children who were in
front Of the house, continued to shoot
at the fleeing man as he disappeared
in the darkness.
A moment later dozen neighbors
were on the scene and hurried
search was made for the burglar with
out avail. Mrs. Van Horn called up
Night Chief of Police Gillaspy and
asked that policeman be sent to the
house. Patrolman Krekler of the
Wyoming street station went to the
house and made a report on the rob-
berry.
Mrs. Van Horn was quite unable to
give good description of the man as
his back was turned when she looked
into the room, and she is not certain
whether he is white or black. The
thief, who had secured entrance to
the house by duplicate keys through a
rear door, had evidently been at work

lungs, a few suggestions concerning
the manner of breathing would be
timely. The breath should never be
taken with gasp, but should be full
and deep; in so doing the movements
of the muscles can be felt just below
the stomach, which demonstrates that
when starting out for walk the
clothing should be loose, allowing free
play of the abdominal and waist
muscles.
Many people use the upper part of
the lungs only, which is the cause Of
many ills.
In walking, the arms should swing
easily from the shoulders, hanging
lifeless at the sides, and not bending
at the elbow (see illustration No. u;
and, above all, not held tightly, with
elbows pressed against the sides or
thrust back CT the body.
Illustration No. 2 shows the posi-
ton many slow walkers assume. es-
pecially if deeply engrossed in thought.
This is wrong position at any time,
for when the head is held forward so
constantly it is almost impossible to
straighten it, and stoop-shouldered
appearance is the result, the breath
ing is interfered with, and may result
in other complications
One should remember that when
walking for exercise, all concentration
of thought and cares should be- thrown
aside and the head held erect to en-
joy the beauty Of nature, for variety
of thought is as necessary as variety
Of motion.

AS rule women do not enjoy walk
ing. and in consequence they deny
themselves exercise and fresh air.
1t is not always lack of strength
of the leg muscles, nor is it a lack
of time that makes women shrink
from long walks. In most cases the
trouble can be traced to a lack of
knowledge of body carriage.
In some cases it is ill-titting shoes.
Get shoe to fit your foot. Don't fit
your foot to the shoe!
In selecting footwear for street, Sc
cure that which will enable you to
walk with comfort-no sloping heels,
nor thin solos,. Neither must they be
too large.
The following exercises and sugges-
tons will aid in attaining a proper
body poise for walking as well as
Strengthening the leg muscles.
In illustration No. l we have the
proper poise of the body for rapid
walking for health exercise. The head
should be held we'll erect, but the chin
should not project. The neck should
remain free from tension.
To walk correctly the most impor-
tant point to observe is the elevation
of the chest. 1t is not necessary to
pay especial attention to throwing
the shoulders back-many carry this
to extreme-simply lift your chest and
leave your shoulders alone; they will
take care of themselves. In lifting

Luqs Wildcat Nine Miles.

Lewistown, Pa.-While trapping on
the Black Log mountains Moses
Harshbarger of Matawanna found
large wildcat caught by the hind leg.
To get the bounty on the scalp, how
ever, his catship had to be transported
alive into Mifflin county.
Taking an ordinary phosphate sack
Harshbarger fitted hoop, constructed
from a sapling, in the mouth and
fastened it in the forks of small tree.
Then, with a pole he picked up cat,
trap and all and tossed it into the
sack. Throwing the sack over his
shoulder he carried the cat nine miles,
stopping twice en- route to obtain new
sacks, as the animal had bitten and
scratched its way through the others.
The cat died during the night, and
Harshbarger will apply for the bounty

cards outnumber cards designed to lie

Flour Sack Center Piece.

Take a -four sack, large or small,
and be careful in ripping so as not to
tear it. Make one row of hemstitch-
ing an inch wide, allowing hem two
inches wide. If more rows of hem
stitching are made the centerpiece
will be more attractive. Go over this
hemstitching and finish it with the
three thread stitch. In the corner are
spaces left by the hem-stitching, and
it is best to fill them, so they will not
be so bare. In order to fill them make
a spider web in each one of these
spaces. If wanted you can stitch
some fancy work in the center. This
makes a pretty and attractive center

Old Boots Made Valuable.

The Gaulois of Paris has been en-.
pertaining its readers with a patent
leather boot story. It seems that
every six months each sewer man of
Paris receives a pair of heavy boots.
At the end of the period these articles
are worthless as far as the original
purpose is concerned, but they have
actually increased in value. The old
boots are sold to the leather dressers,
it is said, as the conditions under
which they have been used make tho
leather peculiarly adapted for con-
version into patent leather for dress
shoes.
