Coiumbia.-The hosiery mill at the
state penitentiary. in which several
hundred convicts are employed. under
q five-year contract with the State
of South Carolina, has been con-
demned by the state board OF health,
following careful investigation Of
conditions to determine the cause of
tuberculosis. The investigation was
made as the result of resolution
passed by the general assembly. 1t
is expected that the contract with the
operator of the hosiery mill. j. M.
Graham, will be taken up at the
next session of the legislature. The
board of health recommends outdoor
work for the convicts The hosiery
mill at the state penitentiary is an
old bone Of contention, and condi-
tions there have been investigated on
several previous occasions. The re-
port was made to A X. Sanders, the
chairman of the board of directors Of
the penitentiary. The report quotes
the resolution of the general assem-
bly,. The resolutions prvoide that the
conditions may be remedied by the
use of the funds of the state peni-
tentiary.
1t was resolved by the state board
of health that the building used for
the female prisoners at the peniten'
tiary should be destroyed and new
building erected at an early date. 1t
is recommended that the sick from
the female ward be removed to a
ward in the general hospital and that
the tuberculosis patients be removed
to the tuberculosis hospital at once.
The board further recommends
that the toilets in the male prison
building should be removed to an of
tension to be constructed adjoining
the building, that the bedding of the
prisoners be kept clean, that only one
prisoner be allowed 10 occupy one
cell, and that fresh water be provided
This recommendation condemns the
system in vogue Of causing the pris-
oners to take water from tubs as they
enter the prison in the evening to be
locked up for the night.
The board says that in the tubercu-
losis hospital nothing is found to con-
denim. but much to commend The
only suggestion with reference to the
building is that it be properly
screened.
Concerning the medical system the
report says: THAT we condemn the
present medical system as inadequate
and inefficient" 1t is recommended
that a chief physician and assistant
be recommended.

REIGN OF VENISE LACE TO
CONTINUE THROUGH SUMMER

The reign of venise lace has certainly
begun; it has entirely taken the place of
the once of popular Irish crochet.
Bandings of this lace are used with
velvet, silk. chiffon, marquisette, and
wooden fabrics.
These wide bands are used at the bot
tom of the tunic or skirt, across the
bodice and sleeves, and as vertical
panels al the front, back, or sides Of
the skirt or blouse.
Another method, quite new. shows this
lace winding in spiral or serpentine
effects. beginning at the shoulder, at
the front or the back, crossing the figure
diagonally. encircling the hips obliquely.
and finally winding around the lower
part of the skirt.
Medallions, motifs and allover venise
are also seen. This last is used for the
short Greek tunic, the long one being
of velvet, cloth, or chiffon. This shows
beneath as an underskirt.
Cluny is being much used in lingerie
gowns and in neckwear, the wide bands

WORN TABLE CLOTHS
CAN STILL Be USED
For Napkins, Towels, and
Tray Cloths.

When linen tablecloths are discarded
because mose darnins would be unprac-
teal, they may be turned into four nap
kins, towels, and tray cloths.
The four corners of the tablecIoths
seldom or never show any signs OF wear
or tear. so they may be cut into four
napkins as large as may be desired,
hemmed. and taken for ordinary use.
When the napkins are cut out the re-
mainder OF the cloth forms a large sized
Maltese cross which can be turned into
towels, two shorter and two longer.
These will not be as strong and lasting
as the napkins, yet they are well worth
the hemming, thus saving the new linen.
If any part of the Maltese cross Is too
worn TO make a towel, then the good
parts may be cut to the size of the vari-
Gus trays in the house and Trimmed
around the edges with good lace which
has been saved from expensive under
wear.
1t has been the boast of one house
keeper that she has not been obliged to
purchase a traycloth in ten years. owing
to the fact that her discarded tabIecloths
and lace which had been ripped from
expensive wearing apparel supplied her
household in this respect.
The economy in this plan is evident in
the fact that the outlay for the number
of napkins, towels, and traycloths is thus
saved

FRENCH BUCKLECAN
BE MADE AT HOME

Who has not admired the oblong buckle
of corais and satin shown in the windows
on those wondrousiy attractive Paris
gowns and hats and sighed because of
the impossible prices attached?
The handy girl who possesses ordinary
ingenuity may also possess the French
buckle, but it will be made in America
for the price of a box of coral beads
purchased in the fancy work department
of any of the department stores.
Use a piece of pasteboard, preferably
the back OF an ordinary writing tablet,
and cut out the pattern Of the buckle.
Cover the frame with silk, any shade
desired, though gray is more effective for
the coral finish. Instead of strInging the
beads, sew each one on the silk separate
ly. placing it in a direct line with the one
before II.
This gives the solid effect, and but a
simmer OF the silk between. II is an
easy matter to sew through the card
board because Of its fiexibility.
Jet buckles may be made in the same
fashion and form an excellent finish or
cover for the quill ends of ostrich plumes
on millinery. The beads range in price
from 20 cents a bunch to so cents, accord
ing to the size.

This fits closely over the back Of the
hair and around the face are turban
folds of shimmering tissue to match. or
sometimes yellow chiffon is used. The
hair comes from under this cap in soft
cUrls or loose waves.
Another smart evening couture has a
wide band Of black velvet ribbon brought
around the hair about the middle OF the
head. This band is embroidered with
detached violets in colored jewels, diff

There are also forget-me-nots in blue
stones, and rosebuds in coral.
Soft turban bands OF gold tissue are
held around the head by slides of French

The man-who-thinks Is about to take
part OF his summer vacation. The other
half he will take in late September OF
October.
Say his critics: But it must be terrible
mer"
And this is the explanation of his con-
duct which the man-who-thinks gives
that is. when he cares enough for the
critic to bother to give any.
I used to take my summer vacation
regular as clock work. the first two weeks
OF August up to five years ago. Thought
I couldn't get through the summer unless
did. And then things happened so !
had to take a week in May and a week
in October. and I liked il so well I've
done that ever since.
In the first place, I never feel so much
like going on a vacation as do when
the ice is just out of the lakes.
And in the second place, / am never
more tired than I am at the end OF the
winter rush. l don't see now how 1 ever
got through the summer without the
strength l build up in that week
And in the third place. think of the
joy of escaping the summer crowds /
am sure to get a star room and the best
of attention. / always meet few in
teresting people, but never get into the
mob
And, anyway, in my mind the most
comfortable place in summer is just home.
don't know any time when / appreciate
my own tub and shower, my own cool
and we'll screened room. and the surety
of knowing just what I'm getting to
eat any more than in July and August.
IT'S a mighty bad time to change your
diet. How many people are sick If they
stay at home and take proper care OF
themselves? But, just look at the people
