DR.. Massee's Address.

DR.. I c. Massee, pastor of the FIRST
RaDtist Church of Chattanooga,

and under the caption, The by-prod-
ucts of Christianity" he delivered an
address that was significant, because
of many frank statements made by
him.

among the strong utteranCes made by
this gifted speaker. Continuing, ne
said. NBut if the men who are poll
ticians were as clean and moral as
this man pointing to Judge Prltch-
ard) politics would not be dirty
game" ,, =
Referring to the recent upheaval IN
the political realm of his State, he
said: "The corrupt politicians OF len
nessee have been buried out OF Slght
bv 10000 clean voters" He said that
he was going to vote for the Republl-
can nominee, who is Baptist minis
ter. His adherence for Andrew Car
negie was expressed in the following
words: mo man in this generation
has done greater harm to Christian
education than Andrew Carnegie. Re-
ligious institutions have changed
their charters in order to meet the
whims of this man.
Il believe that this institution Is
one of the moral by-products OF Jesus
Christ. and Dr. Shepard need make no
apology for making the school a re-
ligious institution.

The bOldest burglary ever COM
mitted in Hendersonville came to
light this morning when it was
found that entrance had been
made into the jewelry store of w.
B. Hawkins & Son, and a thou
sand dollars worth Of the choicest
iewelry had been stolen.
+ The missing jewelry consists OF
six valuable diamond rings,
watches, fountain pens, and a
choice variety of other valuables,
making a total loss of a thousand
dollars.
Entrance was effected through
the small ltransom over the door In
the rear of the building. AS a
usual thing the diamonds within
this shop are kept in the safe over
night but last night was a costly
exception to the rule, therefore
no entrance to the safe was made
The pr~oprietors of the jewelry
store have no clue as to who com
mitted the robbery. The police
authorities are working on thu
ease, but have no clue of import
ance. Indications show that thu
theft was made by some one ia
miliar with the situation of jewel
ry in the store, but that such al
acquaintance could be gained by
few visits therein.
There wa sno burglary nsur
ance carried on the stolen goods.

Ethel Glare Leneve is innocent Of
any share in the murder of Belle
Gilmore. Says she has told him
her complete story and he believes
her innocent of any crime. But
she is trying to shield Crippen
and maintains that he also is in
nocent. The girl is in state of al
most collapse. On the other hand
Crippen is cheerful and seems to
have no fear of consequence.

spaces; sloyd knives may be purchased
at most paint shops. There are several
mediums that may be employed for stem
CLING on fabrics, and different crafts
men have their preferences. Some very
effective designs on white silk have been
done with water color, but one could
hardly expect this to be very permanent,
and would not do at all on articles that
may require laundering or cleansing
Experienced artists, who have tried the
stencils, have used oil colors, the medi-
um with which they are most familiar,
and find them i'll many respects satisfac-
tory. The tube colors are tllinned with
turpentine to the proper fluid" consis-
tency, and these colors, after they have
dried, may be Numbered by putting them
through warm, and not very strong
suds, made with pure soap. Rinse
and press Immediately When ready to
begin the stenciling mix enough color

the same shade twice, and try TO do the

ner." II the thistle were selected for the
scheme" of the room, the design ar
ranged in the same manner would form
a capital frieze for the walls, which
might be tinted in the delicate soft gray
suggested by the crash. Having laid
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 b,
drawing in the ties" that are to hold it
together. Be sure that the ties are
well connected, and that each important
position OF the design is surrounded by
the background; unless the ties are
drawn in properly the stencil will not
hold together.
The first illustration shows the
cut stencil for the thistle design. The
veinlng OF the leaves suggests the posi-
ton of the ties" The manner of "ty-
ing the full round calyx of the thistle
blossom is suggested by the pointed out
line at the top and, carrying out this
plan, it is crossed by narrow ties" that
cut it into diamonds.
Regular stencil-board is somewhat
lliiSult ~ plOSulS, except III large
cities, but very satisfactory substitute
may be made at home by using heavy
manila or drawing paper, and treating
it with coat of shellac. Any heavy
paper or lightweight cardboard, that
has enough body to lie fiat and not tear
too readily, will answer the purpose, and
besides the shellac there are several
homemade methods of rendering it
waterproof. Linseed oil, rubbed on until
it penetrates the paper, is one method,
another is to melt a lump of paraffin
or paraffin candle in pan, and draw
the paper through it; the parafin may
also be applied by first rubbing it on a
warm iron, then ironing the paper, re-
peating until it is thoroughly coated on
both sides. After the design is traced
on the stencil paper, the cutting will be
made easier if it is placed on marble
or glass slab. A sloyd knife or very
sharp penknife must be used, and the
hard, smooth surface under the paper
permits a clean, sharp cutting line

manufacturers of the prepared tints sell,
for the convenience of their patrons,
cut 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
table-runner. the ends of which are
decorated with conventionalized spray
of thistles. The material is Russian
crash that may be bought in the towel
ing department of any of the large
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
have breadth rather than height. in or

assuring the same tint until the work
is completed. In making large pieces,
like sets of portieres, this fact will be
appreciated as the stenciling may be
done at ones leisure, with the certain
ty that the color will be the same
throughout avoiding the greatest draw
back in the use of oil colors. 1t is only
fair to the manufacturers of the dyes,
as we'll as to oneself, to follow the di-
rections that accompany the dyes. If

satisfactory. The stiff bristle brushes of
various sizes are the kind to use, and
have different brush for each color
also have separate saucers into which
the colors are to be poured
Stretch and pin the material securely
to a table or large board, and, unless
it is heavy goods, it will be best to have
blotting paper under it, in order to abb
sorb any extra moisture and prevent it
from spreading beyond the outlines of
the stencil design. Secure the stencil
by driving pins in, tack-fa fashion, at the
corners, and be certain it is straight and
in correct position Drive pins at any
other points of either the 'ties" or the
outline, where 1t seems necessary, in
order to make it lie fiat and close to the
cloth. Have piece of muslin, on which

charged with the right amount of dye
They must be rubbed almost dry before
putting them on the design. Hold the
brush upright and brush back and forth

central stem are done in green, the calys

knowledge of drawing, and good taste in
the selection of colors is necessary in
carrying it out There is practically an
unlimited field for its utilization; hand
some portieres, sofa pillows, screens,
table covers and curtains can be made at
a cost that is governed entirely by the
foundation material, and as some of the
most effective have been made of bur

The principal difficulty that confronts
the amateur worker is in procuring the
stencils. Until some clever person, with
a genius for experimenting, tried stem
ching OH cloth, the only use of orna-
mental stencils was by painters, to stem
Gil frieze or panel on a painted or cal
cinined wall or ceiling. This decoration
has so grown in favor that, oddly, it has
reduced the demand for the ready-cut
stencils, carried by the paint supply

original designs, that are exclusively his
own. Tinted walls, rather than paper

NEW MODELS
HARD TO MAKE
No Easy Task for Home Dress
maker to Get Artistic Lines
in Latest Draperies

III ARLY spring modes this year
H-d may, in general, be divided into
n y two classes. There is the BIZ
zarre gown, eccentric almost to
fhe point of actual freakishness-in
fact, more than one model shown is
thoroughly freakish. In the other class
are toilettes of elegant simplicity, of
an English severity, the chief beauty of
which is their exquisite gracefulness Of
line.
The latter afford formidable prob
lem for the home-dressmaker Unless
she understands the artistic relative
value of line and the dangerous com
plexity of the task of draping a thing
to appear simple, she had better adhere
20 very plain models, of which excel
lently fitting patterns can be obtained
No pattern can give any assistance
In draping, as the goods have to fall
spontaneously without being tackled to,
the lining.
.Freakish Specimens
AS examples of the ultra-bizarre,
couple of costumes | saw on Broadway
recently may serve as awful warnings
of the extremes to which some design
srs have gone. One was costume of
loose-woven material, the skirt being
belted in about the ankles by broad
band, finished on either side of the
front with metal buttons. This betting
seemed to make walking tour de force
and sitting down gyrnnastic feat. The
other was gown of crepe de Chine
The hapless wearers legs were bound
in sash draperies wound round and
round the skirt, being a continuation of

rorsage.
The gowns, however, that women of
good taste are wearing reflect in their
way the return to the classics that is
shown in our art 1t would seem as if
the revolution that has taken place in
the dance, or rather the reversion to
Greek models, was having an entirely
salutary effect on our clothes. The
really pretty costumes have all the beau
ty of line and the loose draperies of
ancient Greece but-the classic belle of
Athens has come halfway to meet our
modern, smartly- dressed women. The
result is that Greek lines and draperies
have been adapted cleverly, appropriately
and most decoratively to fin de steele
ways and notwithstanding needs. Be-
tween them the Greek beauty and the
Partisan belle have evolved the most
charming, simple and becoming gowns
we have had for century, and this
loose-htting comfort is no small item
in their favor. Withal, they do not lose
whit of the latter-day smartness neces-
sary for formal conventional occasions.
The New Color
For street wear, corduroys, woolens,
silks, cottons and linens will be the
textures employed, and even some fig
ured velvets for spring toilets. Mate
rials will be, for the most part, loose
and rough, with a tendency to large
mesh.
AS for 1colors, the very latest thing
from Paris is blue that is almost black,
the better qualities having a luster of
blue steel. The French call it raven
blue ("bleu corbeau"). 1t is frequently
combined with black satin to bring out
The blue in its texture.
Besides this new shade, the very
emartest thing is all white or all black.
Early in the fall Paris set this vogue
