SHOWS OFF BEAUTY OF LACE
Lining of Black Chiffon Brings Out
the Delicate Web in Fine
Relief.

An excellent way to set off the
beauty of read lace, such as fine Irish
Or Venetian point, is to place under it
a lining of black chiffon; for in this
way every line of the delicate web
Is brought out in relief. Such scheme
was used in a handsome suit of sup
pie, white corduroy. The trimming
consisted OF heavy Irish lace. in an
unusual pattern, which formed the
cuffs, deep collar. and large false pock-
cts on either side of the coat, as well
as a pointed piece at the waist line
in back. The corduroy was cut Out
from under the lace and two thick
nesses of black chiffon were put in it's
place, and the lace was bordered with
folds of white silk, dotted with tiny
square figures in pastel green. But

THE JURY DISAGREED.
A Fine Point In Equity That Never
Was Decided.

An old time story of the fine points
of law and equity which arose in car
rying out an amicable contract Is tcla
in the Philadelphia Record. There
were four brothers. who had inherited
a storage warehouse from their father
He had divided the property equally
among them.
Among the appurtenances was cat
"a fine animal, excellent for mouSing.
This, too, was divided, the eldest
brother owning the right front quar-
ter, the second brother the left front
quarter and the younger brothers the
two hind quarters.
Now, unfortunately. the cat in one
of its nocturnal prowls injured the
right front paw. and the eldest
brother attended to that portion of his
property by binding the injured men,
ber with creased rag.
The cat. thankful for this relief to
its sufferings. went TO sleep content
edly before the fire. but in the midst
of its slumbers n falling coal ignited
the rag. and the animal, bowling with
dSout uuSueu tuTpuSH Tue NdieuouSe'
and, coming in contact with some com
bustibles, set the building on fire.
When the loss came to be figured
out the three younger brothers wished
to throw it all upon the eldest on the
ground that had he not tied up his
part of the cat with the inflammable
rag the building would not lave been
destroyed.
He, on the contrary, contended that
had the cat only been possessed of the
front right paw-his property-iI
would have stood still and burned tc
death. 1t was the three other paws
that caused the damage.
The brothers argued the case unit
they died. but they never reached al
agreement.

The Cheerful Liar That Made . eoeI
Of the Grand Monarch.

bU0 SnoeSTot LIAR tHAt maoo = wv
Of the Grand Monarch.
Louis XIV. was taken in once in q
most humiliating way and by an i'm
postor whose only art was lying. In
1867. just after he had returned from
one of his most dazzling military sue
cesses against the Dutch, Louis le
Grand received word that an embassy
from Persia had just landed at Mar
seilles en- route to the French court to
bring salutations and presents from
the shah. Pleased that his fame
should actually have run around the
world, he sent word that all the towns
on the way from Marseilles to Paris
should fete the ambassador. :
As result the journey to Paris was
a march Of triumph. Children sang
and flowers were ,strewn along the
way. Arrived at Paris. several regi-i
ments Of the Swiss guard met the
shah's representative and escorted him
to a magnificent suit in the old palace
Of the Tuileries. Louis sent no less
a person than the Due de Richelieu to
welcome the potentate and invite him
out to Versailles to special reception
in the hall of mirrors.
The ambassador presented himself
as Ria Bey of the Persian court and
after showing his credentials ad-
vanced to kiss the hand Of Louis le
Grand and give him the shah's con-
gratualtions on his recent victories
A caravan of presents from his i'm
perial sovereign were on their way
and would arrive in Paris in a few
days, said the ambassador.
Festivals followed at Versailles. The
bey received magnificent presents from
Louis and royal entertainment he
lounged gracefully on divaas at the
French court and smoked in Persian
languor. He gave the grand monarque
a few fragments Of opal and turquoise.
saying that they came from a Persian
district bordering Oh the Caspian sea.
The woods there were full Of them. he
explained, and he offered to divide
with France-had planted the French
dag there already, as it were!
At last the day came for the formal
presentation Of the shah's gifts. and
on that morning early Ria Bey melted
into space. He was never seen or
heard of again. He had, as some one
said. "gone glimmering through the
dream of things that were" The
gems that he had left were worth, II

"Why, We put one barber to cutting

Uncle Sam After Weeds.

The Coon Rapids Enterprise says:
Cutting weeds along the public
highways is a law that ought to be
rigidly enforced and the postoftice
department insists that the post
master must see to it that failure to
obey such laws be at once reported
to the proper officials along roads
travelled by rural carriers. The Coon
Rapids postmaster will in few days
20 over the various routes and report
various delinquencies of trustees to
the attorneys of the various counties.
Now is the time to get busy. Rural
carriers are expected to make their
routes even in bad weather in the
winter time, where it is possible to
do so, but where the roads are bad,
and drifted with snow because of
weeds not being cut, the carriers
are not able to make their trips,
they are likely to be "docked" for
not doing so, loss due to the care
lessness of trustees or their failure
to do their duty. Not only the rural
carriers life, but that of their horses
ought to be made as pleasant as pos
sible in bad and severe weather.
