Ordinarily buttons are not used, as
they would show through. Glove
clamps are used instead. These can
be bought at the shops, as they come
by the yard and can be sewed to cor,

the kind of skirt it is worn under.

The idea of the founders of this in

EXTENSION TO SHOPPING BAG.
Idea of Practical Value That viii Be
Wecomed-ldea Capable OF
Development.

A novel shopping bag is made IN
exquisite leather with the usual clasp
and handle, but having an added
length that when the shopper starts
out with her bag empty is folded up
and clasped to the side of the bag.
After the regular supply of small pur-
chases has been made and the accu-
mulated samples threaten to over
flow and burst all bounds the extern
sion side is unclasped without even
opening the bag, which becomes twice
it's original size. Indeed, it would
hardly be straining point to consider
it, in it's extended condition, one
night bag, for if the finest Of night
dresses were used and the daintiest of
travelling helps they could all be got
in without a doubt.
A look at these leather shopping
bags will show the clever woman how
the idea could be developed in broad
sash ribbon for fancy work bag that
would hold little or much in the way
of embroidery. In making the ribbon
bag the buttoning up of the extension
side would have to be rather complete
three enameled buttons at least
would be required to hold the wide,
soft ribbon in place.

MAKES A PRETTY TRIMMING.
Nothing Better Than the Popular
French Knot to Add Distinction to
Bingham Frock.

The girl who is never without
serviceable shirtwaist froek of fine
checked bingham can give hers an ar
tistie and distinctive touch by trim
ming it with the French knot so popu-
lar this season.
Any one who can make French
knot can do this simple embroidery
either directly on the frock itself or
on specially prepared bias bands. All
sorts of conventional designs are used,
which can be copied from books on
cross-stitch embroidery, or even bead
ing patterns.
The one essential is that the light
squares are worked with dark-col-
ored silk and the dark squares with
white or a light tone of the shades
used.
A heavy twisted embroidery silk is
used. or If much work is done, regular
crochet silk will be found cheaper.
The knots must be firmly made and
all must have the same number Of
twists.

A COWBOYS SCHOOL
American Type Is Being Perpet-
uated in England.
Students Are Taught Art of Breaking
Horses and Caring for Them
Services Are Still in
Demand.

Notwithstanding the very
general impression that the cowboys
vocation is about gone, and that he
is vanishing type, the few remaining
specimens of which have gone into
vaudeville, there is, in fact, quite
brisk demand for the service Of the
cowboy in many parts of the world.
In Australia, South Africa, Northwest
Canada and South America the COW
boy will find a job open to him for
long time to come. When one comes
to think of it, it is little surprising
that some enterprising Yankee has not
long ago hit upon a plan for supplying
the foreign demand for this distinctive
ly American institution, but for once
American enterprise has been outdone.
At Shepperton-on-Tham almost in
the heart of England, one may see any
day now real cowboys performing
wonderful feats of horsemanship-
picking up handkerchiefs and hats at
full. gallop, riding bucking 'bronchos,
and doing other 'acrobatic feats. One
may see the Colt and the Winchester
used in the most expert fashion, and
the Iasso manipulated by past masters
of the art. There, at night, is the
bivouac and campfire, and the story
telling and good fellowship, and after
that the saddle for pillow and the
blanket for a couch. And this is not

To Make the Arms Plump.

The best way to overcome scrawny
arms is to practice tensing exercises
many times daily. Stretch the arm at
right angles to the body, holding the
muscles very taut; clench the hand
and draw up to the shoulder, using as
much force as if lifting heavy
weight. Repeat until the arm begins
to get stiff.
Massaging the arms with hot olive
oil for Is minutes night and morning
will also help to make them plump.

Strawberry Sauce.

Cream together a quarter cupful of
butter and cupful of powdered sugar;
add cupful of strawberries, few at
a time, MASKING thoroughly with the
butter and sugar; lastly add the
beaten white of an egg, whip light
and serve with the charlotte This
sauce is also tasty with vanilla ice
cream, tapioca pudding or any Of the
gelatine desserts.

1t is also important to work them
all in the same direction, that is, bring
the needle up at the same corner in
each square and take it down in the
diagonal corner every time. Hold the
thread taut with the left hand after
the twist is made and the needle is
being pushed through the material.

COUNT ZEPPELIN DOES
FEAT IN GERMANY.
HE WENT THE DISTANCE OF 456
MILES WITHOUT LANDING
EMPEROR PLEASED.

Berlin, May 31.-Count Zeppelin,
whose remarkable performances in his
first airship brought unbounded honor
TO the inventor, accomplished Sunday
the most striking feat in his career.
He guided his Zeppelin II. from Fried
erichshafen to Bitterfeldt, a distance
of more than 456 miles, without land
ing.
Count Zeppelin has beaten all records
for dirigible balloons.
1t was announced that the count
would come to Berlin and land at the
Tempelhof parade ground. Hundreds
of thousands gathered there. The en-
peror and EN- press, several of the
princes and the leading military officials
and officers were present, and toward
evening searchlights were set at work,
in anticipation of the approach of the
airship. Soldiers kept an enormous
space clear until 1890 'clock at night
when dispatch from Bitterfeldt an
nounced that the airship was returning
to the starting place at Friederichs-
hafen, which caused intense disappoint-
ment.
Count Zeppelin, who personally was
in charge of the airship and whose hand
was at the tiller during the greater part
of the journey, had not allowed a word
to be made public relative to his inten-
ton to undertake an endurance trip. IT
was, however, common knowledge that
he proposed to seize the first favorable
opportunity to proceed to Berlin in his
new craft, the Zeppelin H., which was
rebuilt to eclipse the one destroyed near
Echterdingen.
