ner." If the thistle were selected for the
scheme" of the room, the design ar
ranged in the same manner would form
capital frieze for the walls which
might be tinted in the delicate soft gray
suggested by the crash. Having lad
out the dimensions, whether high or
broad, draw the design without think
ing Of it as a stencil, but see that it
has good spacing and graceful lines,
then break it up into stencil form by
drawing in the ties" that are to hold It
together. Be sure that the ties are
we'll connected, and that each import mt
position of the design is surrounded by
the background; unless the ties are
drawn in properly the stencil will not
hold together.

cut stencil for the thistle design. ] he

may be made at home by using heavy
manila or drawing paper, and trca ing
it with a coat OF shcllac. Any heavy
paper or lightweight cardboard, that

besides the shcl,ac ttcrc are several
homemade methods OF rendering it

another is 10 melt a lump of parafim

linking to tint is unnecessary. The
manufacturers Of the prepared tints sell,
for ,he convenience Of their patrons,
cit stencils, to be used in applying the
contrasting design, but the girl who can
produce her own stencils is absolutely
independent, besides being able to give
complete originality to her work.
The principal thing to bear in mind
in drawing the design is to adapt the
motif to the article to be decorated.
The first stenciled article illustrated is a
tablc-runner, the ends OF which are
decorated with conventionalized spray
Of thistles. The material is Russian
crash, that may be bought in the towel

stores; the soft, neutral gray color en-
dears it to the artistic eye. and the fact
of its low price is rarely counted
against it. The design is planned to

Curled Caps from Paris
Hair caps for all occasions are the
very latest aids to beauty and comfort
that the ingenious Frenchwoman has i'll
vented. he lining is a sort OF hair
webbing, into which little curls are
woven sometime, as many as twenty OF
these to cap but others have only
eight. They are kept in box that is
| highly scented, SO that, as the head
| moves, the curls give OFF a pleasant
olor.
The woman who uses them does her
own hair up on top OF her head in a
tight knot. Around her hat is sewed a
pretty coil OF hair, SO that when she
puts on her hat she is ready for the
street, and need not wear all the hair
she owns IN cumbersome coiffure.
Then, when she arrives home, she takes
off her hat and the cap is real boon.
She just pins the cap on top of her
head with four amber pins, shaped like
buckles, to hold it i'll place At the back
is a wide satin bow OF blue, or some
other color, which serves 10 prop up the
editice and inpart dressy look,
here are caps for breakfast caps Tor
luncheon, caps for afternoon wear on at
home days, caps for the evening In the
latter the curls are shorter and there
are more OF them.
Undoubtedly all these caps are a won-
derful convenience, saving infinite time
and trouble. Needless to say, they ara
becoming widely popular.

BANKING BY MAIL GROWS
IN FAVOR WITH PEOPLE
Accounts OF Richmond Banks With Residents of Towns and
Rural Sections Growing at Rapid Rate

There are q number OF reasons why
banking by mail is becoming more
and more a part of the business
OF Richmond's financial institutions.
In the first place. persons living In
En1f1 towns and IN the country very
frequently prefer to keep their saw
ings account at q distance, so thaf
they viii be less tempted to draw
1t out. and no city appeals to them
more strongly than Richmond for this
purpose, because 1t Is the capital OF
the State. Again. they like to have
at least some sort OF an account with
the Richmond banks for the reason
that many OF them make It q rule TO
come to Richmond at one time and
another during the year, ana II -

persons who maintain a surplus OF

counts, on which they frequently
check, are kept in home banks In
