Bachelor Collects Women's Hairpins

far as know, there is only one other
man In the country who collects hair
pins, and he lives in Grand Rapids.
My collection is probably the largest
of it's kind in the United States"
Included in the collection are 535
hairpins that he found in the streets
during tour of Europe in 1903. Every
pin is labeled to show where and
when it was found. There Is one that
was picked from the grave of George
Eliot, in London; another that the
horse ridden by King Edward VII
stepped on while the king was review
Ing troops in st. James park; still
another was found in St. Peters,
Rome. There are hairpins from Paris,
Berlin and other capitals of Europe.
Mr.. Babcock has seventy-two hair
pins that he found in the streets Of
Queenstown, and forty that he found
in the streets Of Cork, and he says
the women of Ireland, as far as his
experience has been, lost more hair
pins than the women of any other
nationality.
II was in Queenstown four hours"
he said, land during that time found
seventy-two hairpins."
When Mr.. Babcock arrived in New
York from Europe, his hairpins
caused considerable interest among
the custom house officers.

Woman Says Store Teeth Act as Gao

troubles began. They didn't seem to
work right and she was unable to
eat meat or other articles of diet that
called for thorough grinding. She just
couldn't work her jaws one way or
the other. After vainly trying to
break them In as one would a pair of
shoes by wearing, she took them back
to the dentist for alterations.
He altered them, but still they
wouldn't fit, and she had to pass her
nelghbors without speaking to them
when the gag was in her mouth. For
some time she had to restrict herself
to soft articles of food because of the
awkward teeth.
"You talk very we'll now, madame"
the court remarked.
"Oh, I gave the teeth back" said
the plaintiff. Il tried 'em until my
patience gave out; then l took them
back to the dentist and gave them to
him and asked for my money. He re-
fused to give it to me. I am not 60
ing to bother any more with false
teeth. l made up my mind to get
along without them"
Dentist Worster testified that he did
a frst-class piece of dental work for
his client, but that she seemed un-
usually hard to please.
Justice Hoffman said there were
two things essential to a woman's
comfort, ability to talk and eat
easily, and he therefore felt obliged
to give judgment to the plaintiff for
the full amount sued for.

suit for $50 against Doctor Selim

DO you mean to say that you kept

Il didn't keep the teeth in all the
time," responded Mrs. Gray. who is
past middle age.
II didn't think there was anything
that would close woman's mouth for
that length of time," remarked the
justice.
The plaintiff said she didn't mean
to say that she went a whole week
without talking. What she did mean
was that for spells she couldn't talk,
as the store teeth acted like a gag
and 1nterfered with articulation. She
explained that last July she called on
Worster to see about substitutes for
her missing front teeth, and that the
dentist agreed to supply her with the
required articles for $50.

Lace insertion as a part of the EN-

pattern just out requiring a shoulder
strap and three long upright strips OF
wide linen lace back and front upon
the bodice sections.
At the end of each of these, which
Is the bust line, a large flower is EN-
oroldered in coarse cotton floss, and
the blossom is repeated on the uppe,

The flower is so designed that its
petals run upward and surround the
lace insertion at the point where il
joins the embroidered flower.
The center strip of lace on the

two side ones, thus giving a pointed,
becoming shape to the trimming.

Western Canada rs ,:
4 Grain Producer
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust. Anderson of Maidstone, Sask,
was formerly of Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16, 1910, he writes:
ARRIVING fifteen miles from Maid<
stone, I bought a couple of steers from
q rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me, I broke rs acres which I put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. I earned $4,000 by breaking
fifteen acres for neighbor and dur
ing the summer I put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding a
heavy frost on August 18th, had 221a
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats. Off IS acres of wheat
in 1909, got q bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats off
20 acres. never saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days. Water can be had at from 20
to 40 feet and plenty of grass for cat
tle"
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson is
given because it is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
of lettering his condition. It shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,S47 of high
grade stuff, percentage of 1928. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months it was 1876. This
is an unusually high average, and it
demonstrates beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first-class wheat. The crop of
1908 was considered good enough, and
only 70 per cent. Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable a character will be en-.
countered for long time to come.
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for term of years
will be maintained.

is, two petals are stitched
together in tiny seam, with the satin
surfaces placed together. Then they
are turned, bringing the satin outside.
Each petal is semicircle, and two
or three sizes are made for a rose.
FOR small roses only eight petals need

ones 10 petals are made in three sizes,

but ribbon folded about a small cone
shaped ball of cotton, representing the
unblown center of a rose, may be SUBJ
stltuted for stamens, with good ef-
feet.
These roses. made in several light
tnts, form an exquisite wreath for a
summer hat. AS they may be made
from bits of ribbon (using short
lengths in several shades of one color
for the large one) they are not ex-
pensive for those people who are
handy enough to make them. They
make beautiful favors and souvenirs
for luncheons and dinners.

glass or cup will serve for guide by

which to cut out pattern of paper
from which the ribbon petals may be
cut. BY trimming away little of the
edge. to reduce the size, second pat
tern for smaller petal Is made. An
other slight trimming away will make
the pattern for the third or smallest
sized petal.
Millinery foliage, which has seen
service, with buds and stems, is easily
freshened up and used with these
pretty roses, so that one may make a
half dozen for a wreath at a small ex-
pense.
The method of making them is SIM
pie. Place the circles of ribbon in
pairs together, with the satin face of
the ribbon turned inward. Machine
stitch these disks in seam one-eighth
OF an inch deep. Cut the double disk
thus made into halves. Each petal is
made by gathering or plating the
semicircle resulting along the straight
edge. Sew the petals about the center
OF stamens or bud, and wind a bit of
thread about the stem, finally tying
it firmly. Sew the smallest petals
first, then the next in size and finally
the largest ones. For a cluster make
one large and two small roses. Final
ly fasten them by winding thread or
small wire about their stems and the
stems of the foliage and buds.
These roses made in light pink, pale
blue, maize and pale green make an
exquisite decoration, set about the
brim Of lace or net hat or on a mid
summer straw or hair braid. Rose
pink In several shades and cream
color look well together. All white
and pale buff make another beautiful
color combination. These roses make
no attempt to follow nature in COL
oring. and are very handsome on one
color hats made in color like that
of the straw. Gray or blue look par.
ticularly we'll.
If a very large size petal is made it
is better to tack a tiny wire (called
tie wire) along the seam to aid in
shaping the petal after it is sewed to
place. The edges are to be curled back
like those of the natural rose. The
picture shows very clearly the ap-
pearance Of both the large and small
rose when finished.
