Interestinu Relic.

Just before Charles Edward, the
young pretender, came to England to
attempt the recovery of the throne of
his ancestors, he gave a ball in Paris
to which his friends and partisans
were invited. Among the many beau
tiful women present, Lady Mary
Touchet, young English lady, greatly
attracted the princes notice, and be
fore the evening was over he cut oct
the "star" which decorated his breast
and presented it to her. Lady Mary
cherished a romantic regard for
prince Charlie" and was one Of his
most devoted adherents She ditG
very suddenly in the pride Of her
youth and beauty. The "star" after
her death became the property of her
sister, who married Philip Thicknesse
This gentleman, who was a Whig, did
not care for the Jacobite relic, and
gave the star and a picture Of the
prince to his nieces. Doubtless the
pretender's "star" is now in the pos
session of some family who regard it
as valuable curiosity, and preserve
it as such.

WAS NOT OLD LADY'S SON
Little Romance Built Up by Proxin1-
ity Found to Be Not Founded
on Fact.

The little old woman who sat near
table was palsied. She almost spilled
her coffee when she put it to her
mouth. Her trembling fingers hardly
could break her bread It came near
spelling the little lunch the girl had
ordered for herself to see the pitiful
trembling of the little faded fingers,
the constant shaking Of the head I'm
der the old lace veil that half shaded
the old withered face. The only rea-
son it didn't was because of the strong
young man who sat beside the little
palsied woman, quite close, so close
that the little woman once or twice
leaned against him shakily.
''It's her son, thank heaven!"
thought the girl. THANK heaven,
she's got son! Oh! Suppose I
should go about all alone some day
shaking like that"
The little shaking woman finished
her lunch before the girl did, perhaps
because they had bought it quicker,
sorry for her, seeing her shake so.
She got up. The young man got up
and stood by her.
Yes" the girl thought, congratulate
ing herself. Its her son. They
look alike I'm awfully glad she isn't
alone, that poor little palsied woman.
Something might happen to her,
Then the little palsied woman
walked tremblingly to the desk and
paid her check, and the strong young
man went and paid his, and when they
got out the door one went one way
and the other went the other, and he
wasn't her son at all.

To Get Rid of Moth.

To get rid of moth hang the muff
out in the warmest and sunniest spot
you can find for several hours, then
beat it we'll and comb it with coarse
comb until every bit of tangled fur is
made free and smooth, then, after al
lowing the fire to go completely out
IN the range, though while the oven
is still quite warm, wrap the muff in
paper and place it in the oven, leav-
ing it there as long as any heat re-
mains in the stove. This method will
most effectually kill all eggs and lar
vac which may still remain In the
muff

P0RTIEREs EASY TO MAKE
Designs Popular To-Day Are Within
the Reach of Ordinary Needle
woman.

Making portieres for ones room is
a interesting occupation, and no girl
need despair of being able to accom-
plish this design because she happens
to be neither an embroiderer nor par
ticularly skilled in other sorts OF
needle work
There are SO many different styles
of portieres now considered fashion
able that any girl who is able TO do
ordinary needle work will find that
some one Of the designs is within her
possibilities
Embroidered portieres of course
come first, and those of satin, MORE,
velvet or net are very handsome and
elaborate or simple and charming as
taste dictates, or the other furnishing
of the apartment for which they are
intended DEGREES. The embroidery may
be used alone or supplemented with
applique, which is generally the case
nowadays. Net curtains and por-
there's are lined with silk, and the
same silk or satin is used as an ap
plique, being applied to the fabric
with gold cord. On the satin curtains
the applique is frequently entirely of
heavy gold cord, and the sewing of
these motifs to fine drapery is a
piece OF work not to be undertaken
lightly.
There are, however, many much
simpler portieres which are more
suitable to the apartment of the aver
age girl. These are of dull, soft silk,
on which there is an applique of flow
ers cut from lowered silk or velvet,
or perhaps a trimming of gold thread
worked in a simple outline stitch
Then there are quaint and charming
portieres in linen with applique of
chintz and cretonne flowers, or with
designs cut from linen of a contrast
ing shade and seWed on with heavy
linen thread These designs may be
cut in conventional patterns of flow
ers, leaves, ETC., or they may be in
quaint grOtesqUe figures, such as are
used for nursery friezes. Portieres Of
rep are also most attractive when
trimmed with wool embrOideries. or if
that is beyond the skill of the maker
t8en these also may be trimmed with
applique figures cut from cloth in a
contrasting shade or of a deeper tone
OF the same shade. The most charm
ing pOrtieres, if the room be in suit
able hues, are of ivory with a trim
ming either Delft or dark blue. Dull
pink and blue are also coIors which
look well in these applique designs.

Cause for Heavy Tread,

Have you noticed" asked an OBJ
servant woman, how much more
heavily women walk this year than
ever before? have learned the cause
of it. The high heels are responsible
for this extra noise. You see, the bal
ance of the body is completely
changed. especially for those people
who have been wearing comparative.
~ low heel, and the result is that the
entire weight, apparently, comes down
'plunk'' on those high heels It will
certainly be blessing when the low
heel is once more in favor, for then
our nerves will not be racked by the
awful humping as people wander on
their way"

FouIards Remain.

Foulards remain because they are
useful and give satisfaction. While
not exactly what discriminating wom-
en- would select for finest raiment,
they find place in every well-stocked
wardrobe. Foulards are merely glori-
fed prints, and their soft tints mingled
with Iaces and ribbons are fetching, to
say the least AS the advance models
are long wasted dresses with broad
sashes, there will be more foulards
and satins, for such goods make up
splendidly in this style. 1t is possible,
however, that many dresses will have
the wide liberty satin sashes.

RECLAMATION TRIP
PLEASES SENATORS
Much Difference of Opinion
as to Future lrriga-

Frederick Fl. Newell. director Of the
Reclamation Service, and Arthur P.
Davis, Chief Engineer. have returned
TO Washington after a trip through
the West with the Senate Committee on
Irrigation, where thew inspected Gov
erEment reclamation projects
There is much speculation as TO the
forthcoming report of the Senate Com
mittee- 1t is probable II will recon-
mend the issuance Of bonds for the
ccmplstiS7 of the reclamation projects
which have already been started. But
there is much difference Of opinion as
TO whether the Government should en-
bark on any more projects I'm the West.
Representations were made to the COM
mittee by Western capitalists that the
Government should now step out and
allow private enterprises to carry on the
work of irrigation. This is the view
taken by Secretary of the Interior Bal
lingeT-
The settlers on Government projects
on the other hand. told the COMMITTEES
that they favored Government con-
strucuon as against private building OF
reclamation projects. because the Gov
eminent Is more disposed TO deal fairly
with the settlers, and because when
private enterprise takes hold water
users usually have 10 pay good interest
on an inflated capitalization
Members Of the Senate committee
here say that Il is not likely that an
EFFORT viii be made to have Congress
abandon the reclamation idea Since the
secretary OF the Interior must author
lie all new recIarna ion uroiects and
since Secretary BaIliuger has declared
himself TO be in favor of private enter
prise, no action by Congress is neces-
SaTy TO prevent extension Of the recla-
nation of arid lands so long as Bal
linger IS in office.
