NEW PORTIERES

Burlap has invaded almost every

are possible. Raffia and burlap, when
the colors are Gscreetly chosen, make
a chic combination. About four inch

out for as wide q space as your tastes
may decide. The rafia then is woven
In and out OF the cross threads until

Drawn work patterns used for cen

and the fiber remaining generally is
strong enough for the needle. Beads

VERY LATEST THING IN FUR
Maiden Ladies With Feline Favorites
and Cruelty Societies Will Prob
ably E~xpostuIate.

According to one of the smart fash
ion periodicals the newest thing in
fur is catskin. Think of it-poor pus-
sy: Tabby lovers, maiden ladies with
feline favorites, and cruelty societies
will probably be up in arms-but now
adays n goes great lengths for
fashion!
1t is to be hoped, however, that
the fad will not become a real fash
ion and it is certainly doubtful If 1t
will.
According to this fashion edict, "the
skins make up beautifully. either in
white and black. white and gray or
solid maltese %colorings. with Innings
of satin and moire."
AS the article states, however. "the
lover Of the domestic feline win
hardly be able to wear one" and we
are very glad indeed to agree.

The FuUhering Edges.

The crinkling and pickering Of
skirt edges can be blamed mostly to
the braid.
It should always be well sponged
before being put on the garment, as
like all clothes of q heavy texture. It
shrinks quite a bit on the frst sus-
p.cion OF dampness, and unless damp
ened at least once before sewing on.
it will be sure to spoil the looks Of

No matter whether the cloth Of the
skirt is sponged or not, the braid
should be, because cloths that do
not need sponging before sewing in

good deal more after worn only =

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on
earth thar the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission Of the fact.
A case in point is that of q practi-
toner, one of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain. unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
II had always had an intense preju-
dice, which l can now see was
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods Hence, I
never read a line Of the many ads Of
GrapeNuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
while In Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest. healthi-
est little boys I aver saw, I ate my
first dish OF Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.

freshing and strengthening food. leav-

but the times of our more valuable
Observation-Disclosures of gold In
other forms-have just dawned. For
tunes are easier made today than yes
%terday."
Mr.. Rockefeller. who has devoted a
long life to successfully grasping
golden mines of opportunity" gave
no specific directions as to just where
a few mines might be found, but he
hit the nail squarely on the head just
the same. The modern fortune-hunt-
er does not carry a six-shooter at his
belt and a diploma for accuracy in its
use notched In the butt of it. He dis
likes bloodshed, loves good dinners,
goes to theatres and. as frequently as
not, owns an automobile. Perhaps he
strikes a mine" In the midst of a
crowded street, or he hits upon 1t
while listening to a Sunday sermon in
church. 1t was there, while bowed
In prayer, that one of the most val
liable keys to wireless telegraphy
came to its inventor.
Last year the country saved about
forty million dollars in the utilization
of what, up until a few years ago, was
known as waste" and Of all the
fields which MI. Rockefeller might
name there is probably, none which
offers greater opportunities at the
present time to men of very small as
well as large capital, than this. The
utilization Of wastes is not an entire
ly new idea. 1t has attracted a great
deal of attention during the past six
years, especially, and its wonders"
have been exploited many times-the
wonders, for instance, of coal tar by
products, of ink made from the rusty
hoops of old barrels. Of silk ties made
OF the limbs of trees. and of the re-
markable utilization of everything
from hoof to tail In u slaughter
houses. 1t has been estimated that
a hundred million dollars could be
saved, or made, each year by utiliza-
ton of wastes instead of forty million,
and that such a department would
within a few years be as valuable as
the Department of Agriculture, which
has worked a revolution In the farm
ing methods of the nation. This de-
partment would be of value not only
to the large manufacturers and pro-
ducers. who are the sole waste prod
uct" utilizers Of today, but would open
mines of profit to thousands OF mer-
chants. wholesale men, small dealers
and manufacturers, and would open
up, as well, new fields for eth
err small or large capital. 1t would
show wholesale dealers how the thou
sands of bushels of fruit which spoil
on their hands each season coul De
made to pay the wages of their work
Ing forces; how the great dry goods
merchant could add a good percentage
to his profits by utilizing" in various
WAYS. and 1t would show where new
by-product business could be started
and carried on at a profit In every
city. 1t is pointed out that practically
the only utilization Of waste" bust
ness with which the mass OF people
are acquainted, and in which they
take part, is that of old paper n old
