DAMAsk FOR SHAWL ScARFs
One Of the Prettiest and Most Sensible
Of the Present Seasons
Fashions.

Silk damasks are used in the fash
/ ioning Of the broad shawl scarfs that
are fashionable. They have the air
Of having once covered sofas and
chairs of the grand monarch period.
These scarfs are SO ample that
when wound about the figure they are
I as warm as coat. The colors are ex-
quisite. A blurred design in Japanese
red, which has all the romance of the
east in it. is most effective. A mel
low thistle blue shade and peculiar
green that is named after the Nile, yet
which makes the old-fashioned Nile
green seem inspired, is used with ex-
cellent effect.
These are often bordered with mara
bou and are often thrown over the
shoulders with the defiant abandon of
the Spaniard's cloak.

70 COVER THE FURNITURE


Few women realize how pretty and
practical are furniture covers made
from cretonne and other figured
material, or more housewives would
make use of such slips in renovating
old and worn furniture. Incidentally.
these modern slips" can be made by
a woman who has had any experience
in cutting patterns. | find that
models for chair covers, etc, can be
best made by cutting design from
three-cent cambria and fitting 1t
snugly with pins to the furniture.
When the exact dimensions Of each
piece are complete in cambria these
trial slips" must be unpinned and
laid on the material from which the
"slips" are to be constructed.
1t is not necessary to bind the
seams in these slips. Indeed. in a
figured fabric the effect of such seams
is undesirable On plain. dun-colored
fabrics life is introduced by the use
Of red or blue braid on the seams
With figured goods, French scanning
is best 1t makes firm and neat
finish. and obviates the use of an
other color
In slip covers the frame of the
furniture is hidden by the material.
They are precisely what they are
called, slips" which easily can be
large enough to allow for shrinkage

Historic Odd Fellows, Chair.

time. 1t is stated that Mr.. Ridgely
verbally stipulated that the chair
should never go out Of an Odd Eel
lows family.
1t is not unlike many of the chairs
used in the smaller Odd Fellows lodges
at the present day. The wood is old
English oak. The chair is in an ex-
cellent state of preservation and even
the covering of the upholstering is in
a fair condition. There is brocaded
velvet back and arms with crimson
velvet seat. The wood itself is mas
siye and with little or no carving.
At the house In Brockton the chair
has been seen by very many visitors,
and as the photograph shows. there
is a card at the front of the chair
stating briefly its history. There is a
tradition that the chair was brought
from England to Baltimore by Thorn
as Wildey in 1926, when Wildey Wis
tied England in order to obtain all
the information possible from the Off
GERS and members Of the Manchester
Unity that might in any way be use
full to the order in this country
If that is true, this was six years
after the order was first started by
Wildey in Baltimore. There is no
question but that it was used in Bal
timore both by Wildey and Ridgely.
both OF whom have monuments in
Baltimore commemorating their work
for the order. N
Wildey was born in London, Jan. is,
1882 He was the first noble grand Of
Washington lodge. the first grand
master Of the grand lodge OF Mary
land, the first grand sire Of the grand
lodge of the United States, which Of
fce he filled for eight years. and in
1885 he was made travelling agent for
the grand lodge of the United States,
and in this capacity he travelled all
over the country, establishing and en-
ccuraging the order wherever he
went. He died in Baltimore. Oct. 49,,
1861, at the age Of 80 years.

IT'S EYES ON WHEELING.
New York Central Survey to the City
Starts Soon.

Wheeling.,The Lake Erie, Alliance
& Wheeling railroad will soon enter
this city and will open up another
route to the lakes and the northwest,
as the road is controlled by the New
York Central. Surveying for the rout
will start at once.
Its entrance to Wheeling would
mean a very short route to the lakes.
and especially to the northwest. and
railroad men say would make great
freight line.
Of late there has been a number of
reports that the Central was after the
Virginia road which taps valuable
coal fields and terminates at Norfolk.
What connection this may have with
the company entering this city is not
known, as the nearest point of the
