CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED
WORKING SCALLOPED EDGES

One cannot be to careful in work
ing scalloped edges. so that they will
hold their shape when Numbered. There
is no better way OF doing this than
by running both outlines OF the seal
lops with fine stitches and then work.
ing n row Of chain stitch down be-
tween. II the scallops arc narrow,
one row Of chain stitch is enough to
MI. In wider scallops a second row
will be needed. This preliminary work
does take some little time, but is quite
necessary and must not be sighted.
Running the outlines not only makes
them firm. but tends to make the edges
Of these scalloDs more even.

VIM. Dettman, a resident of the
town of Hanson, met with an unfort-

result in the loss of his life The
occurance was Of a most extraordi-

his home, a gun in an adjoining
room being knocked over by a dog,
causing the loaded instrument to
discharge. The shot passed through
a closed door into Mr.. Dettman' S
leg, one bullet remaining in the flesh
and four penetrating the limb The
bullet was removed by the attend
ing physician and it was believed
for a time that the injured man
would recover. However, it was re-
ported Saturday that gangrene had
set in and that the victim of the ac-
cideht could not possibly recover.

Well authenticated rumors in Wall

In this connection there may be
