its determination to build $4,000 club

Did you ever think how many uses the
safety pin could be put to? Here are few
of the ordinary ways Of employing this use
full article Many women have wash
blouses from which they remove the but
tons when they are sent to the tub. A
safety will hold these together and prevent
that wild hunt later for the last button
that always insists upon getting lost Half
dozen long safety pins in the work basket
threaded with buttons of different sizes !;
also hooks and eyes will be found a great
convenience especially when one is in u
hurry. Nothing will take a safety pins
place in the travelling sewing case. One of
these will hold all the buttons and hooks
and eyes necessary for an ordinary journey.
A small one makes a good substitute for a
bodkin for threading ribbon through under
wear. A safety pin has also been known to
button shoes. A pin catching both sides of
the skirt together at each side of the front
and then these pins hung on two hooks in
the closet will do better service than the
usual skirt hanger.
When sewing on the sewing machine, if
the thread breaks easily, soak spool and all
in water for about two minutes. This rule
applies to any quality of thread. in making
dresses of silk or any light weight material,
instead of French scanning them simply
haste the seams up in the usual way, then
hem them on the foot hemmer. This makes
a smaller, neater finish than French seam
ing, and you have the seam sewed up and
finished with one stitching. When one has
a number of dresses to make, especially
skirts with many cores, this will be found
to be an immense saving of time and en-
ergy, and will be much nicer than French
scanning or overcasting, as the seam will not
draw. When children's waists become too
small or short or too small in the armhole,
rip the shoulder seam and set in elastic
webbing This will not only make the waist
comfortable again, but will give added
length to the petticoat. Hemstitched table
cloths and napkins can be nicely mended
when the hemstitching breaks by fagoting
the edges together with strong thread. |

Divorce Not Filed,

Through the failure of a lawyer to

county the divorce decree granted her
former husband by the court, Mrs.
Cyrus V. Townsend, that was, is I'M
able to marry until next October. Her
husband, who is prominent physic-
ian, has married again and as a re-
suit of the discovery is wondering
what is the status of his present wife.
Recently his former wife accepted an
offer of marriage and planned to have
the ceremony take place next week
AS required by the present law, she
had to present to the clerk of the
marriage license bureau copy Of the
decree, which was granted in another
state. before he would issue the neces-
sary permit to wed. When she made
application for a certified copy of the
decree she was informed that it had
never been officially entered. The
woman was then obliged to retain
counsel and sought to have the court
order a copy of it's decree issued to
her. This the court has refused to
do until the expiration of six months.
Hence the postponement of the we'd
ding until next October.

Side and shook her head disdainfully
as she viewed them.

she went on. They will keep the girls
out on the street. What the girls
need is a plain, old-fashioned. small
bonnet, almost a Quaker bonnet"

Persian captures BURGLAR.

His Majesty, the Shah of Persia, has
a husky representative in Gotham in
the person of his Consul General here,
one Haozoon Hobannes Topakyan.
Aided by a relative, early the other
morning, he engaged in the capture of
a. burglar who essayed to enter his
home
The Consul General poked the muz-
zle of his pistol in the captive's face
and babe him be quiet. Then he
switched on the electric lights and
called his chauffeur brought a long
clothes line and some stout Irvine.
While the trembling prisoner looked
down the pistol barrel the servants
bound his hands behind him, tied his
legs together at knee and ankle and
twisted rope around him until he was
as helpless and stiff as a clothing
dummy. Then they carried him in
doors and laid him on the floor.
Highly elated, Mr.. Topakyan called
up the police station and told the per
son at the other end of the line what
had happened. Whereupon Mr.. Topaz
yam ordered out his automobile, and
in it he brought his man, still tied,
to the station and formally delivered
him over to the. police.

ing the earlier expressed conviction

President Eliot, of Harvard Universe
ty, that the number should be eight,
the club women of the city have been
centering their fire on the Colonel,
charging him with being a meddler

been kept up, until one would imagine
that he was the most unpopular man
in the world. The fact that a large
percentage of New York's club women
have no children at all may account
for the vehemence with which he has
been jumped on from all quarters.
