LACE FRILLS FOR SLIPPERS
Not Expensive, and Have Same Eff
feet, If Adornment Is Made
at Home.

Satin and soft kid bedroom slip
pers can be made doubly attractive
by simply adding a dainty frill of lace
Ri about the top. While these new
est slippers are, of course, expensive,
the effect can easily be obtained by
dressing up any pair of pretty satin
mules or slippers in this way. The
prettiest worsted and knitted slip
pers are now also finished with shir-
ring of lace at the top to make them
different from the regular bed slipper,
the same the world over. The mules
bordered at the top with a frill of
lace are then finished with little
lace rosette, with perhaps tiny clus-
ter of ribbon flowers tucked in the
center
Almost as expensive as the slipper
itself are the rosettes that adorn it,
but any girl can fashion her own
rosettes for her satin evening slippers
and save considerable in the process.
FIRST of all she should supply her
self with piece of buckram or can
vas, as without a stiff foundation 1t is
Impossible to make the rosette keep
its shape well. The different parts
OF the bow are all sewed securely to
this foundation before it in turn is
attached to the slipper.
Silver lace with cluster of ribbon
flowers in the center the color of the
gown makes an attractive finish for a
satin or light kid slipper Gold on
yellow slipper is extremely pretty,
and If desired for a special gown
metal laces can generally be found in
different colored threads. The lace
should be about an inch in width and
is simply gathered about the flowers
in the center or else made into fat
bowknot with the ribbon flowers for
the center part.
The rosette generally carries out
some scheme of color or trimming on
the gown.

USEFUL LAUNDRY BENCH

The bench should be strongly made

to break ones back lifting the tubs.

PUT ASIDE RICHES
Patents Worth Millions Dedicated
to the People.
Hog Cholera, Anti-Toxln and Disap'
pearing Gun Among Them--Now
Miracle In Cement Is Assigned
to Public Good.

Washington.-If you had discovered
and patented a cholera anti-toxin that
could stop an annual loss of $4,000. 900
worth of hogs in the United States,
would you give the invention away to
the general public?
Or, if you had found that oil and ce-
ment will mix to form new style Of
concrete which may completely revo-
lutionize the building industry, would
you patent the process for your own
pocketbook or for the free use of the
people?
These questions are hypothetical to
the ordinary citizen. but they have
been real TO two men. He who discov-
cred the hog cholera serum might have
been rich now, and with a stupendous
fortune in sight. He who Is about to
obtain patent ON a new building ma
terial modestly admits that there prob
ably would be millions in it" and a
patent right, but that he has no desire
to take profit from his discovery.
Both of these inventors, DIR. Marion
Dorset and Logan Waller Page, are
employees under the agricultural de-
partment of the government. They are
by no means the only ones, however,
who have within the last three or four
years dedicated to the public inyen-
tons of great value. A certain obli-
cation rests upon the man who uses
public property, and whose time is
paid for by the government, to turn
over his inventions to the government;
but many private citizens have deed
ed to the public inventions from
which they might have made large
incomes.
John Jacob Aston is one who has
disclaimed any desire for royalties
on several of his inventions and
thrown them open to general use

and manufacture. In a similar way,
but unusual in the methods of mod.
srn railway corporations, the Penn
ylvania railroad has dedicated to the
ablic an invention of William F. Kies-
|, Jr., covering an improvement in the
obstruction of tank cars.
Gen. William Crozier gave his dis
appearing gun patent to the govern
ment.
Maj. o. M. Iissack gave all rights to
cartridge machine.
Harold H. Clark contributed to the
public the right to use his electric de-
vice for detecting gases in mines.
George w. Moore, Instructor in
Washington university, st. Louis, gave
free his recipe on how to make poor
soil replenish itself.
Austin w. Morrill, of Orlando, Fla,
gave a patent fumigating tent which
wards off orchard pests.
A cotton cultivator to eradicate the
boil weevil was contributed by War
rem e. Kinds of Auburn, Ala
There are many more of these pat
ents. All OF them are open to manu-
facture by any private convefn. The
inventors have given away their rights
to royalties, and the manufacturers Of
the country are free to make whatever
profits they can from the inventions.
The public is assured, however, that
there will never be a monopoly of any
OF the inventions, as there has been of
the telephone, electric light, phono-
graph and hundreds of other important
patents. There will always be compe.
elton enough to keep prices down.

RECTOR WAS A FAN

oLOGY.
EVEN BISHOP FoRGAvE HIM
Echo Of Great Struggle Between Cubs
and White Sox-t1ow ZwlIling
pieted to Reduce His Weight
Most Freakish Catch.
ev HUGH S. FULLERTON.

This is story which is perfectly
proper to tell, because one of the
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church laughed until tears rolled down
his cheeks over it and forgave the
rector concerned. The rector is in
charge of prominent Chicago church,
and it so happened that ne is and al
ways will be a White Sox fan.
In the vestry are two more White
sox fans, who shall be called Smith
and Brown, because they would never
forgive the use of their real names.
The story concerns the time that the
Chicago Cubs, representing the Ma
tionaI league, and the White Sox,
champions of the American league,
met to decide the worlds champion
ship.
There was civil war in Chicago that
fall. The series divided families and
caused neighborhood riots. Friends of
a lifetime ceased to speak ana good
citizens blackened each others eyes
In the street because, foorsooth, one
thought the Cubs would win and the
other picked the White Sox.
The rector and the two vestrymen
had box at all the games during the
week-but, alas! for them, the final
game of the wild and exciting series
fell on Sunday and, worse than that,
on Sunday for which the rector had
announced special matin services.
But for tie special services, Smith
and Brown might have compromised
their consciences and seen the game,
but knowing the rector would note
any absence on their part, they duti-
fully attended their church duties.
The special service was two-thirds
over when Brown was unable to stand
it any longer. With intensely solemn
face he arose, tiptoed down the aisle
and made quiet exit. Once outside,
he dashed madly across the street to
the drug. store and reached a tele-
phone. A few moments later he re,
entered church. His face was
wreathed with beatifc smile and, as
he carefully parted his coat tails and
resumed his seat, his chest overhung
his body like bay window, and the
absolute contentment of his smiling
countenance was only to be riyaled
by a calf chewing a dish rag.
Brother Smiths pew was directly
across the aisle. He was twitching
with suppressed anxiety, and seeing
Browns face. he could contain him
a self no longer, but stretched his neck
across the aisle and whispered:
Who won?"
His Whisper was audible to half the
church and the rector paused in his
discourse.
The Sox," replied Brother Brown,
his smile spreading, and his exultant
whisper penetrating even the choir
loft
For an instant the rector was dazed.
A murmur ran through the church.

The Chronic Crouch

Pity the man who is imbued with
chronic crouch; who goes through
life growing his discomfort. He is
a mental pervert that spreads poison
at every hand. Avoid him as you
would a hideous monster. He is
diseased in mind and body. He is
his own worst enemy. You might
say his entire life is spent in an en-
deavor on his part to take revenge
against himself and against all man.
kind. Men and women of that type
are committing crime against
themselves and against every one
with whom they come in contact.
If it is a crime to commit suicide,
then they are criminals, for such
people are already dead mentally.
Their minds are living cemeteries;
that is, they are filed, with accumu-
lated corpses of the evidence of
past sorrows. Such people ought
to be protected from themselves,
and others ought to be protected
from them. If they cannot be cured
then at least they ought to have
separate community where they
could all get together" and in the
pleasure of exchanging sorrows find
so much joy that ultimately they
might be cured.
Do not nurse crouch. Do not
be grabbed. Let the sunshine in.
Let it spread over you the whole
someness of content.
| Break the awful habit of clinging
to unpleasant experiences and let
every pleasant moment linger in
your mind day after day on to life's
verv end. For you must remember
that as you allow life's joys to i'm
press and possess you their power
over you increases day after day.
They will change your personality.
; They will add to your mental and
physical strength. They will often

your features; therefore, let the sun
shine in and allow life's joys to inn
press you.-Bernarr Macfadden, in
