INEN is perhaps more used than

lNEN is perhaps more used than
any other material when en-
broidery is to be done for art,
household purposes and wearing ap-
parel.
Much as we use linen nowadays, for
our table, our beds and our bodies, it
Is not new medium for embroidery.
1t Is ages old, as for centuries linen
embroidery has been domestic in
dustry in foreign lands.
This old work is now being copied
widely and the special work belong
ing to different lands is easily recog-
nized. Thus the old Spanish, Italian
and Greek embroidery on the linen
was chiefly done in one color-a pur-
pie red. A great variety of colors
mixed with gold and silver thread is
characteristic of Oriental work.
A similar richness of coloring, but
generally without the gold and silver
touches, marks the Hungarian, Slav,
and Swedish peasant work. Old blue
red and yellow are the predominating
tones.
Much Of the Italian embroidery of
the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turtles was done on very fine linen
sometimes in colors, but more often in
white, with intricate stitchery and
much cut and openwork. The modern
girl, however, rarely has patience for
this exquisite stitchery of the olden
times. Her work is more splashy and
less beautiful.
For this reason the quality of the
linens used today are changed, the
threads being round and coarser, sc
they can easily be counted to make
easier the copying of the design The
old embroideries, especially the Ital
ian ones, were done on very fine linen
In choosing linen to embroider II
should, be handkerchief, and without
much dressing. The threads should
be round, especially If any drawn
work Is to be combined with the en-
broidery. There are special art lin
ems for fancy work which are quite
distinct from the linens used fol
sheets and pillow cases.
Unless you are sure you can detect
cotton threads and imperfect weaving
1t Is we'll to leave the selection OF
your linen for an elaborate piece OF
embroidery to salesWoman In the
art needlework department. She will
gladly advise you the best grade for
your special purposes.
Linen embroidery may be classed
under two heads-that where threads
are counted, for the material accord.
Ing to a pattern done on checked pa.
per, as In all cross-stitch work. Slav
embroideries and various kind of can
vas work; the other where the pat.
tern is drawn on the material and the
embroidery worked without regard to
the threads Of the material, as In Eng
lish embroidery, satin stitch, Kensing-
ton, Chinese and Madeira embroi-
der1es.
No linen embroidery covers the en-
tire ground Of the material, but leaves
spaces of the linen for a background
to the design.
There are interesting imported lin
ems to be found in most establish
ments that are adapted to both kinds
of linen embroidery. Besides the
Irish linen there are Spanish, Silesian
and Algerian linens for small stitches
and fine work, while the coarser lin
ems Of Cuba, Ceylon and Batavia are

WALKING Skirts,

Enter the tweed skirt that is short
we'll fitted, pocketed and rain and dust
defying. 1t is a practical walking skirt
for mountain climbers, for "shirtwalst
girls" for city business women.
There are many styles to copy when
making it. The circular skirt is always
good if you are able to prevent sag
ging at the back seam. This can be
done by sewing a tape with the edgel
the full length Of the back seam
The two-piece skirt with the seams
at the sides is very satisfactory.
Then there is the circular form, with
piec1ng at the center line of both back
and front.
A deep hem is stitched with eight or
ten hows of stitching; little pocket
with a buttoned flap Is added, and q
narrow stitched belt of the same ma
terial finishes the eminently practical
garment.

Immense Wrist Bags.

New wrist bags of black velvet car
sLed at Nice, by smart women are OF
an immense size-really larger than
anything of the sort ever seen before
Walking, they would seem a real bur,
den; sitting in ones carriage, laid on
the lap, they are highly ornamental
Flat, and mounted with velvet-covered
fittings, they are suspended from q
chain of fine cut steel; 80 slender. 1t
seems quite inadequate to their size;
cut steel Is woven into the velvet in a
deep border and old Gothic designs,
trimming both sides alike.-Vogue.

one side of which is striped and tho
other plain.
Silky cashmeres in very soft tones
will also be offered to us-gray, terra
Gotta, blue, etc. These cashmeres also
have one side glossy and one striped.
This stripe is generally black and
white, though sometimes dark color,
such as navy, brown or violet, re-
places the black. Among these double
faced materials which will be very
popular, and which lend themselves
to such multiple and charming COM
binations, navy blue lined with khaki
gray or plaid of an indistinct pattern,
will be very successful. Very chic
also are the fine striped materials
black and whites lined with orange or
cerise, or plain black lined with mole
or Parma violet, or black with fine
hair lines in azure, green or mauve,
which have an elegance quite their
own.
We can imagine nothing which adds
more to the slender appearance SO
much sought after than these stripes
and hair lines. Our tailor-mades in
these materials will be simple and har
monious, straight without exaggera
ton. The plain revers will be lined
with fancy material, as also will the
turned-back hem of the skirt.

A good many contrasts of colorin1
and actual pattern, too, are notable In
the new foulards; an absolutely d.

Ten Watched BY Detectives

This is taken to mean that no less
than ten persons who conduct
places of business in Bem:dii and
Cass Lake, are under con5tan. sur
veillance by detectives. AS matter
of fact the detectives assert that al
though the public may begin to
think that they have had quite a
sensation, that the real news in
connection with the carnival of
crime has not been sprung and that
when the names of all the persons
involved are published the
detectives say that they will be-the
public will receive a new and violent
shock even greater than the one
caused by, the arrest of Mayor

How The Deal Was Arranged.
The detectives declare that when
DR.. Dumas learned that the Smyth
building had been for sale at Pup
osky for some time and had not been
sold, he made the proposition to
burn it for the insurance money and
that he would see to it that the build
ing was destroyed for $500 and that
the 5000 check was part payment and
that he was to receive 500 in cash.
1t is presumed that Smyth was in
harmony with the detectives as it
is known that the 500 was in mar
ked bills. 1t is believed Smyth has
received threats against his life
and for this reason does not wish to
make his connection in the case

Arrests Temporarily Delayed.
Promised arrests of business men
in Bemidji and Cass Lake have been
postponed, probably until after the
sworn statement of Fred Hunter,
now serving seven year term at
Saltwater, has been obtained by
Joseph Fielding, in charge of the
Pinkerton detectives on the case
now in Saltwater and Assistant
Fire Marshal Sam Fullerton who left
here last night for St. Paul. Mr..
Fullerton will join Mr.. Fielding at
Saltwater today. 1t is said that the
Hunter statement will be another
strong link in the chain which has
been wound around DR.. Dumas.
ut is mercy a question of when is
the proper time to proceed" said
Mr.. Fullerton, last night. "The

there is sufficient evidence, in the
estimation of the detectives, to bring
about conviction. There is no
special hurry about locking up these
men,

Season Just Closed

At no time since amateur baseball in
washington has been under the direc-
ton Of a commission have the officers
OF that organization been able to report
quite so successful a year as the one
Just closed. This statement is particu-
lArly true from a financial standpoint,
as the guarantee money received from
eoch team in each section will be re-
turned with a slight premium
The people Of Washington are thor
oughly awakened to the fact that ANA
teur baseball is carried on in strict
accordance with the rules laid down
for the professional leagues, and the
interest displayed by the followers of
the seventy-odd teams is largely re-
sponsible for the financial success met
with during the 1911 season. The at
tendance at the games has been good
throughout the entire year, and during
the post-season games the grandstands
provided at the various parks were in
adequate for the closing contests
The double-header played at National
Park on Labor Day between the Ameri-
can Security and Trust team of Wash
ington and the Maryland Athletic Club
of Baltimore and the Richmond Battle
AK team of Richmond, resulted in the
swelling Of the treasury of each con-
testing team to the extent of $3.50 26.

DECIDES
TO QUIT ATHLETICS
WITH Next SEASON
Marvellous Mel" Martin
Sheridan, and, Bonhag to
Appear No More.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Melvin w.
Sheppard, the premier middle distance
runner of the Irish-American A. c.,
has decided to forsake athletics after
next year. Sheppard has promised to
do his utmost to help in the Olympic
championships in Sweden next summer,
but after that, he maintains, he will
be through for good. 1t is said that
Martin Sheridan, the great champion
discus thrower, as we'll as George Bon
bag, will follow Sheppard's lead and re-
tire after next year.
The loss of Sheridan, fortunately,
will not be as severe a blow as 1t
would have been a couple of years
ago. 1t is said that James Duncan,
who now completes unattached, and
who was formerly a member Of the
Mohawk A. c., will succeed to Sheri-
dams exalted place in the Irish-Amer-
lean A. c. Right now Duncan appears
to be the greatest discus thrower in
the country. Twice recently he has
beaten Sheridan from the same mark.
OF course Sheridan still holds the rec
ord. but he is reputed to be on the
decline.
One thing is sure-Martin is not in the
best physical condition. He seems a
trif1e over-fed. Sheridan believes that
he. will be able to re-establish himself
at the expense of Duncan when the
pair meet at the senior Metropolitan
championships at Celtic Park, a week
from Saturday.
