A Blue Chiffon Wrap Of

handsome wraps for wear over smart
afternoon frocks. 1t is interesting-this
revived vogue of brown shades. Last
summer brown was as dead as a last
and foulards could be picked up for a
song. Brown in a garment costing over
three figures was unheard Of. But now
all the brown shades are back in high
favor and the choice ranges from buff
down through mustard, tobacco and wood
browns to rich, deep seal. 1t is said
that an English actress who adores brown
and never gives it up whether it is in or
out Of fashion is responsible for its re-
vival. Her tan and cream frocks with
ecru laces were so lovely that other wom-
en- could not resist copying them. This
actress wore at Longchamps recently a
tawny snun-brown satin coat. which was

Hemstitchinq.

LIE M S T ITCHING on the machine is
quickly done in the following man
| ner: Take two strips of your goods the
| width you desire between the hemstitch-
| ing and turn the edges Of this goods in
| the same way as you would do if you
were going to put insertion between. Now
| take fifteen or twenty thicknesses Of gro
Gerry paper or newspaper and place be-
| tween the two strips Of goods, holding
| the edges of the strips of goods and the
edges of the paper evenly together. Now
sew these edges together on the machine
with strong, rather coarse, thread, taking
care to sew as closely to the edge OF all
as possible. When finished pull the paper
away from the goods. The length of the
stitch produced by placing several thick
nesses of the paper between the goods
forms a hemstitch which is quickly and
easily made and is very pretty. The width
Of the hemstitch, therefore, will be ac-.
cording to the number of thicknesses of
paper which you use.
1t makes an effective trimming for
linen waists and suits, or any wash mate
rial, for that matter, both heavy and
sheer, fine thread being used for sheer
material of course. 1t can be used to
make yokes, trim collars. cuffs and belts
on waists and bands, panels and ruffles
on skirts 1t could be used on childrens
dresses and caps, on napkins. table COW
ers, doilies and towels. There is no bet
ter trimming for underwear 1t is impos-
slble to enumerate the ways in which 1t
may be used as q trimming, but each
woman will find different ways according
to her needs. Its chief attraction is that
It can be done7so rapidly, Just as fast as
one can sew on the machine.
Another way to do quick hemstitchins
IL to draw all the threads first and haste
the hens. the edge coming through the
center OF the drawn threads; then loosen
the tension Of the machine and stitch the
hem on the very edge. Remove the bast-
ing threads. hold the material in both
hands and draw the body of the gar
ment away from the hem. This stitch.
Ing also has the appearance Of handwork.

this little wrap with its rows of cord
ing, closely shirred material and trim
ming bands of flowers, has really a sub
stantial weight and forms more of pro-
lection over thin frocks than the usual
sort of chiffon shoulder scarf. The
same model is shown made of white
chiffon with white lilacs. Pale blue
chiffon with forget-me-nots would also be
charming on a young girl.

ried in the modish manner-With very

In a season Of wrap wearing one feels
absolutely out Of place and badly dressed

gay with strips Of the embroidered cotton

red and white on a blue ground. and the
handy and delightful reticule which
swings from the belt Is also garnished
with the red embroidery. Such aprons

NOTES AND NOTIONS.
Tow Boudour Sets for Miladi's
Trinkets.

There is a good deal OF the little
girl in many a grown-up woman and
some little tables and cabinets ex-
hibited in a shop window in New
York last month drew many excla-
nations of delight from women who
paused before the window to admire.
The tiny pieces of furniture were eX-
quisitely made of different sorts OF
wood, carved and inlaid. and every de-
tail was perfect-to bevel edge mir
rors and tiny metal knobs and locks
on the drawers. The little cabinets.
dressing tables and chests Of drawers
were intended for trinkets. jewels.
gloves, wells and such small belong
ings. The drawers were lined with
velvet, plush and satinwood. There
were also compartments for per-
fumes.
Miniature Towels for the Guestroom.
Huge and expensive towels are not
necessary in the guestroom or bath
room, where the dinner or luncheon
guest simply washes the hands and
filings the crumpled towel aside to
make one more item in the weekly
laundry list Many hostesses have a
number Of small towels on hand for
guest use, and these little towels are
made of fine linen huckaback, with
scalloped ends and an embroidered
size may be embroidered in morning,
and the advantage Of having a supply
of these small and easily washed
towels will be apparent to every
housekeeper who entertains many
guests.

graceful lace shawls worn in the fifties.
The lady Of the fifties could drop her lace
wrap from her shoulders when she de-
sired and allow 1t to rest upon the swell
ing slope Of her crinolined skirt, but the
modern wrap-wearer, If she drops her
wrap from her shoulders. draws it in, in
scarf fashion. to emphasize the clinging
effect of her skirts. A woman at New
FORT the other afternoon wore one of
these three-cornered wraps made of black
Brussels net with no trimming save for
the f1ve-inch hem around the three sides.
The corners of the wrap were weighted
with black silk tassels, and the airy little
affair, worn over a thin white marQui-
settle gown, gave a touch of dignity and
distinction which the gown could never
have possessed alone.
Another three-cOrnered wrap was noted
recently at casino fete at one Of the
summer resorts. This wrap was of gold
en- brown chiffon printed with huge,
splashing roses in shades Of darker
brown with fiecks of orange. Around
the edge was a hem Of golden brown
satin and the tassels were of gold cord.

cornered wraps which makes them I'M

before Judge Wetzel for the arrest of
e. G. Davis of Burlington, Iowa: Mil
lard T. Kirkpatrick of Blandinsville,
HI, and stephen d. Seaman and Will
lis E. Seaman of Alamosa, Colo, on a
charge of running confidence game
and conspiracy to defraud. 1t is al
legged that Davis and Kirkpatrick, rep
resenting the Seaman Syndicate Ditch
company of Alamosa, sold Henry E.
Roth of Warsaw, ILL.,, eighty acres of
irrigated Colorado land to which the
company had no title. The price paid
was s6,475, of which s475 was in cash
and the balance in notes. With each
acre purchased Mr. Roth was also to
receive one share of stock in the Sea-
man Syndicate. He was told that his
land would receive fifty-two inches of
water per year for irrigation pur-
poses.
Accompanied by Davis and Kirkpat-
rick, Mr.. Roth went to Colorado last
May and purchased the land The title
however, was not given him at the
time, nor were the stock certificates,
which he was told would be mailed
to him when he returned to Illinois.
On arriving at his home in Warsaw,
Mr. Roth wrote to the Seaman COM
pany for his title and stock certifi-
Gates. but was told that they would
not be sent until he RENTED the
$4,000 due on his notes held by the
company
This Mr.. Roth declined to do, and
engaged William H. Hartzell of Car
thage as attorney to fight the case.
Investigations conducted by Mr. Hart
zell showed the Seaman Syndicate was
a corporation organized for the sole
purpose of purchasing water rights
for irrigation purposes, and held no
title to the land purchased by Mr..
Roth, and in fact, owned no land at
all The warrants were then sworn
