The Limo SULPHUR Wash.

The lime ulphur wash is winter
application and cannot be applied to
trees In leaf. 1t may be applied at any
time after the falling of foliage in
early winter and prior to the swelling
Of the buds in spring. 1t will proba-
bly, be necessary also to make this ap-
plication every year or at least as Of
ten as the San Jose scale develops in
any numbers. The wash kills the San
Jose scale not only by direct caustic
action, but apparently also by reason
Of the coating on the trees, which re-
mains in evidence until midsummer or
later and may kill or prevent the set
Ting Of any young scale insects which
may come from parents escaping the
winter action.
Two applications may be given bad
ly infested orchards-one in the late
fall and the other in late spring. Where
but one application is given the late
spring just before the buds open is the
lest time.-C. L. Marlatt

gowns. 1t is a great year for odd
motifs in crochet or braid. Little orna-
ments made OF braid, either with or
without pendants or drop ends, are
also popular. In the illustration a
pleasing little motif of knotted SOU
tache Is shown which would make an
effective finish for a soutache trim
ming.
The button shown is covered with
satin and then trimmed with loops Of
fine cord.
In working with the net it is well to
baste 1t over stiff paper before begin
ming to embroider the pattern; other
wise it will be hard to keep from puck
ering. For this work either Roman
floss or soft mercerized cotton floss
may be used. The best results will be
obtained from the silk floss probably,
and a rather heavy grade will be
found more effective than finer one.
Silver or gold thread is easily COM
bined with the floss and is very stylish
and well suited to this work. In view
Of the popularity of gold and silver
embroideries this would be distinct
addition to trimming of this kind.

NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

Hemming on lightweight wool goods
should be done by hand and with
short needleful of split silk. This does
away with the tight twisting of the
fine single silk and in consequence
makes n prettier hem. Another good
plan is to use the ravelings of the
material. as this is perfect match
and, having the same sheen as the ma
terial, does not show If a chance stitch
goes through.
A striped suit shows the waist with
stripes running the length Of the coat
The skirt has stripes running around
it, and the two inch bands are cut on
the width of the striped material. The
coat only has band trimming without
buttons. Fancy silk braids with picot
or scroll edges are shown in bewilder-
ing array as suitable trimming for the
jumper waists. 1t is a pretty outline
trimming. narrow and easily adjusted
From printed cretonne may be con-
trived the most attractive of travelling
sets. One of these is the chintz COW
cred box which is to hold all the toilet
articles. 1t is primarily shoe box,
with the sides of the cover cut away
and one edge of it attached to the box
by means of ribbon hinges. This is di-
vided into cretonne covered cardboard
compartments to accommodate the
brushes, combs, soap and powder box
es, and the insiGe of the cover is thick
ly padded TO hold pins.

Not for years have the modish trim
mings been 30 easy to reproduce at
home.
One Of the trimmings most used this
season, both on odd blouses and gowns,
is embroidered net.
1t is easy to fashion bands Of en-
broidered net, as the stitches used for
this work are very simple, being for
the most part confined to the simple
darning stitch. 1t is also possible to
get excellent effects by the use of the
satin stitch and the long and short
stitch. The net bands shown in the
Illustration could easily be copied.
They are worked in satin stitch with
the outline darned in. A combination
Of the darning and satin stitches in
simple leaf and dot design is good.

NAL invitation to foreign powers to
participate in an international confer
ence to deal with this important PROD
lem to be held at The Hague next
September.
The announcement Of the proposed
international gathering was made py
President Roosevelt following lunch
con which he Friday gave In honor
Of the commissioners from this coun-
try. Canada and Mexico, who are In
attendance upon the North American
conservation congress. In addition
Ambassador Bryce Of Great Britain
Senator Knox and others were pres

announced that the conference dele,
gates representing the United States,
Mexico and Canada upon having ex'
changed views and considered the In
formation supplied from their respect
i've countries, is convinced OF the I'M
portance of the movement for the
conservation of natural resources on
the continent of North America and
believes that it is of such a nature
and Of such general importance, that
II should become worldwide IN It's
scope, and therefore suggested to the
president that all nations should be
invited to Join in a conference on the
subject Of world resources and their
inventory, conservation and wise utili-
cation. Anticipating the interest which
would naturally be aroused in other
countries by the present conference.
the president himself saw the prob
ability that it would be a precursor
Of world conference. By an aide
memoire of the sixth Of January last,
the principal governments were infor-
mally sounded to ascertain whether
they would look with favor upon an
invitation to send delegates to such q
conference. The responses have SO
far been uniformly favorable.
1t is believed that all nations In
vited will accept the invitation with
the same degree of cordially with
which Canada and Mexico accepted
the invitation to participate in the
North American conference. 1t was
learned Friday that at least two for
eign powers felt keenly disappointed
because they we're not invited to
meet with the North American con-
ference and they have suggested the
advisability Of an international con-
ference through correspondence and
through their diplomatic representa-
tives.

has been taken by President Roose-
welt, the engineering Of the matter
will be left to this government

A HOTEL MYSTERY
YOUNG WOMAN FOUND BOUND
AND UNCONSCIOUS IN cHI-
cAoo HosrELRN.
DETECTIVES AR! PUZZLED


Chicago, Fob. 18.-one OF the most
mysterious cases with which the Chi
cago police have had to deal in many
years developed in the Wellington
hotel, q standard downtown hostelry'
Wednesday when the unconscious
form Of Miss Ella Gingles was found
dashed to the supports Of bathtub.
Whether she was the victim Of a plot.
o. she incoherently alleged In her few
conscious moments, or chose fantas-
tic means, including suicide, to re-
taliate upon . woman whom she be-
lleyed to have been her enemy, formed
a mystery which the police set about
to solve.
When a chambermaid reached the
public bathroom on the fourth floor
she found the door locked from the
inside with bolt. Later the house car
penter, removing the transom, crawled
into the room, which was dimly light
cd by o candle which had nearly
burned out. Upon the floor he found
Miss Gingles. clad only in a night
gown.
Restoratives were administered BY
DR., Watson, the house physician, but
she recovered only sufficiently to
babble Historically:
"Don't let her come nearer. Don't
let her make me drink any more. II
will kill me-"
The words "cab" and pepper" oc-
Cured in her talk. Later in the DAY
at the Francis Willard hospital she
recovered consciousness for several
minutes. Chief of Detectives O'Brien
was at her bedside and to him she
told strange tale Of having been at
tackled near her home, Ala LaSalle
avenue Tuesday night by man and a
woman. One Of them struck her and
the other threw pepper in her eyes.
She was then hustled into cab which
apparently had been waiting. She
knew no more she said. until she re.
gained consciousness at nine o'clock
at night in strange room. She
recognized the apartment as belong
ing to the Wellington hotel, abe said.
and wrote q note to her friend, Miss
Mary Joyce. She threw It over the
transom, abe added, with a penciled
note on the envelope asking some
bell boy to mail It.
Miss Gingles came to Chicago two
months ago from Ireland and being
an expert lace maker found employ
ment with Miss Barrett.
Her attorney, Mr.. O'Donnelps YER
sion Of his clients trouble Is strange
as fiction.
"We are Just about to 90 to the
state attorney with details Of as foul
q conspiracy as ever existed" he de-
clared. Suddenly the chase was end
ed. Now we must see that the pun
ishment is swift and sure. A hor-
rible act has been perpetrated and the
laws Of God and man set aside. It Is
worse than murder"
Mr.. o'Donnell then outlined a story
Of how the girls youth--she is only
1s-her virtue and her beauty made
her the object Of persecution on the
part Of man who. he said, was well
known in several states. This man,
he declared, was aided BY at least one
woman In his efforts to secure posses
sion Of the Irish girl. Thwarted, the
conspifators multiplied troubles about
their victims head. stin she resisted,
aided BY good friends.
Mr.. o'DonneIl's view Of the case
vas not fully shared BY the police,
who we're mystined BY the clrcum'
stantial evidence.
