MAJOR CHARLES ZAGONYI, u. S. A., LEAD
Err OF A CAVALRY CHARGE AT SPRING

Major Frank ]. White with about 100
cavalrymen, known as the Pirate
Scouts who had no part in the
charge at Springfield. though Captain
p. Naughton of the Irish dragons as
serted that about fifty of the dragons
had participated in three assaults
Captain Naughton himself was wound
ed in the beginning of the action. AT
any rate. it is certain that the Union
force did not exceed 200 and that the
enemy numbered about 1000.
Zagonyi's charge was one Of the
most dashing and brilliant actions Of
the early part of the war. Several
miles out of Springfield the bodyguard
captured the advance pickets Of the
Confederates. but one of these escaped
and gave the alarm. Therefore when
the Union men reached Springfield
they found the enemy in battle array.
The nature of the ground was such
tnat it gave little opportunity for Ia
gonyi to form his men. Before going
into the action he warned his COM
snand of the strength Of the enemy
and told them that possibly no man
would come back alive. If any of you
would turn hack you can do so now,
he added, bur not one stirred 4 will

LIQUID CURES ECZEMA
WHERE SAIVES EAII,

In regard to skin diseases, medi-
cal authorities are now agreed on
this.
Don't imprison the disease germs
in your skin by the use Of greasy
salves, and thus encourage them to
multiply. A true cure OF all eczema
tous diseases can be brought about
only by using the healing agents In
the form OF a liquid.
WASH THE GERMS OUT.
A simple wash. A compound Of
OIL OF Wintergreen, Thymol, and 9TH
er ingredients as combined in the D.
ID. d. Prescription. This penetrates
to the disease germs and destroys
them, then soothes and heals the
skin as nothing else has ever done.
A 25 cent trial bottle will start the
cure, and give you instant relief. NJ.

.FLOWERED APRONS
ARE EVER POPULAR
Worn for Fancy Work or
When at the Chatting
Dish.

-HE girl who can stencil or do
rapid embroidery should make
one or more of the new flowered
aprons to be used for fancy work
or when at a chafing dish.
The skirt of the apron is a short oval
shape, much like a huge egg. The bib
is cut in conventional flower form, the
edges cut to the outline of the petals.
On the lower part of the oval an extra
piece is added for a pocket. This, too,
is decorated with a big conventional
flower and foliage design. with the out
line cut to shape To meet the pocket
on upper part of skirt are long sprays
of foliage with the points turned In.
The design is stenciled in natural COL
ors, or the design is worked in heavy
outline and a bold filling stitch or In a
bold long and short stitch.
When the pocket is sewed on and the
bib sewed to the skirt the entire apron
is outlined with a full frill of inch wide
val. lace. This is also used around the
petal-shaped top of the pocket.
Ties or ribbon to match the predomi-
mating tone of the apron complete the
dainty effect. Use a nice quality of
lawn for the apron, one not too fimsy
TO take the coloring or embroidery.
Choose a bold flower for your design,
as a twentieth century dahlia, a huge
wild rose with turnover petals, an iris
or a chrysanthemum. 4 set Of such
aprons, each in different flower, would
make novel prizes for card party.

BEADS AND SEQU|NS
EMBROIDERY WORK
Seems to Have Attained
the Height of It's
Popularity.

FAD and sequin embroidery has
x reached the height of popularity.
u There is scarcely a gown or
blouse that escapes its presence.
The embroidery of beads and sequins
is not difficult if one has time and ca
pacity for adapting designs. The SIM
plest form is to use a piece of lace
adapted to the requirements of the gar
ment that it is wished TO decorate.
The pattern should not be too elabor-
ate and the ground not light and fine.
The whole of the pattern may be COW
cred with beads and sequins until it is
quite hidden. The beads chosen may
be all of one color or they may be
varied. The best effect is gained with
clear glass beads, those with metallic
lus:er. With the first quaint shot ef-
feet can be gained by sewing them on
with a contrasting shade of silk. This
shows through the glass of the beads
and the result Is very pretty.
selves well to bead and sequin embroid-
cry. As one portion is finished, sew a
strip of some tissue paper over ii, as
this prevents 1t from being soiled or the
sequine tarnished.
Tire net as finished can be rolled up,
tissue paper and all, until the whole is
done. Care should be taken TO leave
good turnings on all sides to alloy the
net to be turned in rather deeply when
it is sewn on the dress. II this is not
done the edges will wear away, and the
look OF the whole will be destroyed.

French Knots Are Good
Substitutes for Beads

Following the vogue of, beads comes
the clever expedient that is surprising
in its simplicity. 1t isn't new, and 1t
is quite easy. Have you ever thought
of French knots as a means to dec
orative end?
On a blouse of chiffon cloth, Of voile,
silk or velvet, make the patches of
color OF French knots instead Of beads.
Black silk combined with blue is
stunning on either gray or white. The
favorite black-and- white alliance is
effective on any shade, and the touch
of one vivid color can be applied as
quickly as you can change the floss in
your needle.
Entire yokes and cuffs can be made
of this embroidery; lines of color or
motifs can be made to give individuality
to a blouse. And the cost? A trif1e

especially when there are nails to catch
in skirts: and yet it is hard to mend

who has done mending in her poorer
DAYS, recommends drawing the torn
edges together with silk thread and then
placing underneath a piece of the fabric
the size of the tear. like a patch. Hold
this temporarily in place with court
plaster and mending tissue, and then
darn with the tiniest of stitches across
the torn edges, catching this darn light

Advice to Housewife
On How to Select Meat

To the housewife there are ways and
means of being a successful buyer. The
inexperienced one can frequently be
misled in purchasing meat. A knowl-
edge of a few essential facts will ben
eft the buyer and the eaters.
First of all. meat should be a bright
red. Any tendency to a dark colorins
is the result of old blood.
There should be no unpleasant odor.
II there Is there is a danger Of taint
and subsequent poisoning.
Meat should be kept in a cold place
and should be covered so that no odors
from other articles, such as cheeses,
etc, will be absorbed by 1t.

Value of Illustrations.

Miss. D. T. H.-A picture has no value
to publisher as an Illustration for a
story unless made to illustrate that

publishers and ask for orders from them
when they have manuscripts for which
your work will answer. Different pub

regulated by the ability and reputation
of the artist in large measure.
