cRocHErEp MOTOR HOOD.

Bowl.shaped turbans, handkerchief
ed, are being shown at some of the
best shops. They are made quite deep.
fitting far down over the head, and
a turned.back brim is usually of a
contrasting color.
White, With black trimmings, and
the idea reversed; plain colors with
striped bands. a plain pattern with a
plain brim-tlese are some of the
suggestions in color combinations.
These hoods are made of heavy
WOODEN yarn and are light weight and
comfortably warn. Some are orna
mented by huge, rosettes, apparently
holding the brims in place. Even q
quill OF yarn is used to give a jaunty
trimming.
Although these knit hoods are solo
with the motor as n background fol
the idea, they bid fair to be adopted
by golfers and walkers with the en-
thusiasm equal to that which charac
terized their Partisan advent.

Many children possess the miniature
plaster paris outfits. AS all know who
have ever seen one OF these sets Or
any of the work they have produced,
the landscape, bust or whatever the
modelled figure may be- Is finished on
an oval OF plaster paris. A pretty re-
suit may be. obtained by cutting the
figure itself out OF the plaster paris
oval and 'gMefhg It on an oval of'the.
dark cardboard on which photographs
are mounted. Little hangers the
kind used on the backs of passepar-
touted pictures-may be pasted on tho
back OF the cardboard oval, and the
result Is a pretty artistic little orna-
ment suitable for hanging in the bed
room. These make very acceptable
little Christmas gifts. Or, If the maker
wishes to procure some money with
which to purchase presents for friends,
he may dispose of the little orna'
ments at the rate OF two or three for
% cents. At this seemingly low price
the profit is very good, as the ma
terials used in making are cheap.

THE STEM STITCH.
Stem stitch may be embroidered on
the machine as well as by hand. Here
is the method followed:
Sew with rather short<stitch along
the stamped lines. Be sure to follow
pattern directly. Then thread a needle
with embroidery silk and pass the
needle and thread eye first, under each
stitch. Keep on the upper side of
the material. II 1t is, thin fabric, put
the paper underneath before, working.
This method results in. a well.raised
cord that is obtained in much quick,
er time than by hand embroidery and
is, besides, quite as effective.

4 NEVADA COUNTY
 BOY IN DEBATE

The stage was beautifully decorated with college pennants and ferns. De- spite the fact that rain was fall ing necessarily, quite a nice little crowd was present
 William Jewell College was represented by Messrs. Wm. Stone and Walter David, the lat ter man of considerable eXper. fence as a lyceum lecturer and also holding the championship of Missouri as d debater. The Uni yersity was we'll represented by Messrs. J. E. Goodbar and J. II. Atkinson. They acquitted them selves gallantly and with credit both to the University and the State. Mr. J. H. Atkinson, a Nevada county boy, deserves special mention because of the excellent debate that he render ed. He was the chief speaker of the University and the State and certainly none but the most scholarly could have prepared such debate. The judges were instructed to base their decis- slon on the delivery and it was to 'hls 1act rather than to any su-

SUMMER SESSION OF
 ARKANSAS UNIVERSITY

To the Teachers of Nevada
 It is my..pleAsuret to!inform you that the first summer session of the University of Arkansas will be held during the coming sum- mer, beginning on June 13 and closing July 23. The curriculum will consist of courses of gram mar school, high school and col lege grade, together with pro- fessional courses. This is an unusual opportunity for our teachers, many of whom are un- employed in the summer, to brush up on their work, and at very small expense, to prepare themselves to do better work in the future.
 The regular equipment of the University will be placed at the disposal of the students of the summer session and most of the heads of departments will give instruction in their specialties, Arrangements have been made
