The Niqhtqown of Swiss.

Quite a new and decidedly pretty
innovation OF feminine lingerie is the
nightgown Of sheer dotted Swiss and
fine nainsook combined Both fab
RIGS are very appropriate for lingerie
purposes and one wonders no one
ever thought of combining them be-
fore. The dotted Swiss Is used for
the upper or yoke part and the sleeves
while the plain cloth is utilized in
the full skirt. This combination Is
especially pretty in making an empire
style nightgown and the Swiss and
nainsook are joined at the bust line
by sheer ribbon run beading. The
girl who makes her own undermus-
Inns might vary this a little by using
allover embroidery in place of the
dotted Swiss. And any clever woman
will see numberless pretty possibilities
in combining the two materials.

NOVEL BUT NOT so USEFUL
Pincushion for the Woman Who Does

A cushion for the woman who does
not insist upon utility is made in the
shape of heart six inches at its wild
est part. It is cut from a heavy mus
lin, filed with wool or bran and GOV.
cred with satin in any bright color.
For the top make a much smaller
heart from handkerchief linen or fine
lawn, and work it with delicate open
design in Madeira embroidery. Use a
fine white mercerized cotton, as the
embroidery should be delicate. Sew
a Quarter-inch insertion OF German
Valenciennes to edge and join another
strip of the insertion to lace an inch
wide. Sew evenly without filling.
Join the two sections by fagoting
stitch in the same shade as the satin
pincushion. This should be a half
inch deep.
The joining of the two parts must
be done on heavy paper, which has
a heart the desired size of cover

A NEBRASKA LYNCHING.

Nebraska has been disgraced by the
unwarranted and uncivilized murder
of Cherry county ranchman by
white men. The state has been given
tremendous amount Of the most un
desirable type of publicity as a result
of this barbarous tragedy and the
only amends that can be made, in the
eyes Of the civilized world, will be the
speedy prosecution and punishment OF
the guilty parties.
This is no longer half savage com
monwealth in which mob law and Wig
ilantes committee can run amuck and
take human life at will. This is an
organized state filled for the mos
part with law abiding and law respect
ing people and the action of little
mob of half civilized human beings
who have no more regard for the
rights of the state than to wantonly
take from his bed man who has ap
parently done no crime and string hin
