there is something in his bearing
which marks him as man above the
ordinary
Mr.. Lee has strong ideas about how
the monument should be built In fact,
he has superintended the work as FAR
as 1t has gone, and he has helped with
his own hands on the foundation. For
months Mr.. Lees teams have been
busy hauling stones of all sizes to
farm two miles from Denton, where
the memorial is being erected.
1t was limited by a frivolous and
slangy person that the multitude OF
rocks might we'll be symbolical OF the
richest mans pile but Mr.. Lee is seri-
Gus and he declines to notice the sug-
gestion. Surmounting the rugged foun.
dation will be a heroic statue of Mr..
Rockefeller and about its base four
tablets will tell of his good works. MT.
Lee expects to spend $4,000 on the
statue itself. He has ordered the
statue from a bronze-casting firm In
New York. but of this particular fea
ture he declines to talk 1t Is evident
that he is planning to surprise his
neighbors when the statue comes
along. The unwilling ceremony is te
be one of Texas great occasions,
according to Mr.. Lee. 1t is to be helt
next spring, and, If present plans 0
the monument builder work out, Mr.
Rockefeller and his family will b.
present at the ceremony.

he has his business headquarters, Il

particular monument will be different.
Mr.. Rockefeller knows nothing OF It;
he was not consulted in the matter,

who believes in deeds of praise rather
than words.

Novelties In Trimming.

Among the novelties in trimmings
for the season are the quaintest OF
embroideries and braidings, whose
patterns date back to the time when
art was in its infancy, years and
years ago.
They are designs borrowed from the
mummy cloths of the ancient Egyp'
tians, Byzantine embroideries, Alger'
ian and Syrian hammered trimmings,
hand.made Italian nets and laces and
the decorative arts of old Japan.

GIVES CHANCE FOR ECONOMY.
Fussy Styles Are Really a Boon to
Home Dressmaker.

Paradoxical as it sounds, the pres
ent vogue for extravagant elabora-
tion In trimmings and garnitures is an
aid to women who must carefully con-
slider the cost when planning their
outfits. Pussy styles are always more
easily counterfeited than palmer ana
more exact models. Tailoring, Wheth-
ed plain or intricate, is quite beyond
the skill of the average little dress
maker, but all the legion OF elaborate
devices i'll braidings, gatherings, tuck
ings and embroideries, and their al
lied trimmings need only the skill OF

accomplishment, and. Il gRod aia.

was coming on, when there would be
no more hunters to guide, and, ponder
over the subject as he would, Tom
couldn't see any escape from going to
work. This cut him to the heart.
"Here are these woods full of lazy
