FRINOlNG LINEN
CAN BE MADE EASY

To fringe with the least possible
trouble, clip the edge of the crash or
linen up from the bottom at distances
OF six to eight inches. Each clip
should be the depth Of the fringe you
intend TO make. The drawing out of
these shorter threads viii often prove
less laboriOUs and not so injurious TO
the material.
It is well 10 know, also. that the
drawing of linen threads is made
easier il the dressing has first been
removed.
Brush a heavy lether made from
good white soap along the space from
which you wish TO draw the threads.
Let this dry In and it viii disturb
the original dressing so that the
threads may be more readily drawn

ALWAYS ON OPPOSITE SIDES.
Delaney NcoII and Clarence Shearn
Like the Connecticut Farmer
and His Wife,.

When Delaney Nfcoll pushes the
bell on the pearlg gates he'll find
Clarence J. Shearn inside trying to
serve an Injunction forbidding st. Pc
ter to open the portals. says the New
York Globe. Mr.. Nicoll and Mr..
Shearn are, perhaps, the best knock
about team in legal vaudeville to-day.
They are so consistently engaged on
opposing sides that their tour in the
stirring melodrama, "rhe Gould Case;
or, Who Kept the Diary" which
should have attracted as much atten-
ton as an all-star Lambs cast, was
dismissed with a mere nod by the
public. And yet it was the gentlemen
who are playing the legal lead who
ought to be under the performing
spotlight, while those who had the
name parts in that tank show might
well be neglected. Mr.. Nicoll and
Mr.. Shearn have fought each other
so long that the old story of the Con-
necticut farmer might well apply. He
was riding back from the cemetery
with his nephew after burying his
wife.
"Well, she's gone" said the be
reaved husband.
The nephew assented dutifully.
"She KEEP good care Of me for 20
year." said the reIct.
The nephew said that was so, alas
"And do you know" said the mourn
er, toward the last / almost got to
