Linen Parasois.

Now that we seem to have gone in
for everything washable. which spells
freshness as we'll as expense, there
has arisen demand for white linen
parasols. The covers are embroidered
or trimmed with openwork. They can
be fastened to the frame when thew
come from the wash without the help
of a professional. Some of them are
lined with orange or emerald green
china silk, but the majority are en-.
tirely plain.

There are a score Of imitation woods,

lombian mahogany, according to a
monograph just Issued by the forest

family, Lecythigaceae, otherwise
known as Cariniana pyriformis. Ito
grain and color resemble the wood of
mahogany, and its straight cylindrical
trunk, averaging three feet In dame

feet, admirably adapts it for lumber

linen LUNCHEON SETS
HOW TO MAKE PRETTY CENTER.
PIECE AND DoILlEs.
One Cannot Have Too Many Of the
Latter-Lace Squares or Ovals
Are Generally Used for
tho Mats.

The omission of tablecloth for
breakfast and lunch is SO general that
no housekeeper can have too many
plate doilies. This Is tip to the girl
who is wondering what she can give
a wealthy friend.
1t Is possible with little effort to
make complete luncheon set. cen
terpiece, plate doilies and tumbler
dollies to match. The first should be
twenty.eight or thirty inches in
diameter. the plate doilies nine inches
and the tumbler size five and half
inches.
Use good round thread linen OF
fine. firm grade. as some women do
not care for the coarse crash effects
for table use. II possible. get hand
bleached quality. 1t costs more, but
wears much better.
Both colored and white embroidery
are in good style, but II elaborate
work Is to be done the all white set Is
more satisfactory, as it stays in style
longer and washes better.
DO not attempt more elaborate de-
signs than you can do we'll. There Is
nothing uglier than rough, coarse en-
broldery and simple chain stitch or
brier stitched set is prettier than bad
~ worked satin or eyelet stitch.
A novel effect In arranging rows OF
scallops is to form shallow pyramids
pointing to the center. This needs
CAREFUL measuring and some computa-
tor before any stamping Is done.
Arrange the designs for the three
sizes on paper, and trace or take an
Impression from that. 1t takes less
time and is more accurate than to
draw on the design free hand.
A crocheted lunch set is always in
favor and lovely simple patterns can
be found.
II you want this kind of set to be
appreciated work firmly, as the loose
mats will not launder In the stiif
forms now In vogue for such mats.
The girl who does lace work can
make exquisite lunch sets at small
cost. A FLEET set with a nine-inch
square for the plate doilies, a six-inch
square for the tumblers and a 25-inch
square for the centerpiece makes a
handsome gift If finely done.
1t is more novel to use Just the lace
squares or ovals for the mats than to
combine with linen or other lace. The
hostess can use them over a color for
variety. Edges are sometimes fin
fshed in buttonholed Vandyke, or II

case on record is that Of Charles G.
Gates, New York broker. who was
suddenly taken Ill In San Diego. Cal.
and wanted to get home to New York
as fast as steam could carry him-or

Mr.. Gates hurried to the telephone

arrangements were then completed
for special train to be made up and
waiting on his arrival at Yuma, Ariz.,
which would make the run across the
continent in the fastest time that
schedules would allow.
An engine, buffet car and three
coaches for ballast were standing on a
side track at Yuma, and no time was
lost coupling the Ranger" to them.
At $3.50 o'clock on Thursday, Feb

little western town on its 3,000mile
journey, while the wires beside the
track hummed with messages arrang-
ing special right of way over the
roads It would traverse. -
When Mr.. Gates paid his bills he
found that the trip from coast to coast
had cost him $4,000. at the r~4er Of
about 81 mile. The cost OF ts,e run
from Chicago to New York was @1.825.
which figures up to a charge Of, 81 for
every minute that the special was on
