will attract rats and mice should be
guarded. Books should be packed IN
stout boxes, piles of magazines should
be Giscountenanced, since the paste on
their backs acts as a lure to mice, rats

are kept, they should be looked at fire.

COIOREp EMBROIDERY.

Following the vogue for hand en-
broidery in a contrasting coior on
dresses and blouses, strips for coIored
embroidery or edging suitable for
shfrtwafsts AVE been brought out.
Most of the insertion Is about an inch
in wtdth-seldom wfder-and the edg-
ing is very narrow. The foundation is
usually white, although tan linen liz
also seen. and the embroidery is done
in white, bright red, pale blue, Per
sian, black and many other shades.
The edging generally is scalIoped and
simetimes the only embroidery is the
simple scalloping. In other cases a de-
sign is worked In addition. Marqui-
settle or net may be found embroidered
i'm the same way as the linen or mus
lin. The edging is old-fashfoned enough
in appearance; but II is capped by an
other form of trimming-feather
stitched braid about three-eighths OF
an inch wide that is enjoying a re-
vfval after 20 years or SO of eclipse.

OLD SILKEN SHAWLS
MAKE DAINTY WRAPS
Need Not Be Cut, but Folded,
Pointed or Square-Fringe
May Be Added.

Any girl whose mother or grand
mother has a silk shawl, no matter
What the size, should endeavor to have
It given to her. Just now the loyerIest
summer wraps and matinees are being
made from them, and the fact that the
delicate material need not be cut is apt
to make the owner more willing TO
transwer it to the younger member OF
the family.
AS the shawl is large or small. it is
manipulated pointed or squared. The
best effects will be gained in the latter,
If the wrap is of the small variety. 1t
is taken for granted that the shawls
have fringed edges, but should this not
be the case a silk fringe as wide as
one can afford should be carefully
sewed around. II it is impossible to
match the color, white may be sub
stituted, although a black fringe on a
white shawl is especially effective.
If the square is a small n the top
Us turned over wide enough to form a
deep border, IL inches at least. With
this still back, the shawl is folded
Iquarely in two, up and down. Then
20 inches from the middle, the top
border is tackled together. This may
be don with a pin to try the best
proportion. The wrap is then put on,
the pin or tack coming at the middle
of the back of the neck.
1t is then necessary to have another
tack put at the bottom OF the V
formed at the back, and the wrap is
complete. 1t requires no lining. of
course. Ribbons, or ii fancy clasp may
be put on, TO hold it together over the
bust.
Variety is given by making the tack
n little to one side of the middle. The
fastening then laps over in front when
the wrap is worn.
When the shawl is wide, it should be
folded first three corners. regulation
shawl fashion, except that the top is
not turned over quite so far. Tacking
is the Same as with the other shane

A N0VEL PLAN.

A company of six busy women save

same seamstress to come to each one of
them, one day a week, the year around

When a hole is found, a button off. q

each article is laid aside In a large bas-

tons, thread and other needed mate
rails are hunted up at once and folded
in each garment. On the outside of each
is pinned a paper with directions. Thus
always the stitch in time saves nine.
no work goes from week to week. and
II one mother has an invitation out on

REVIVAL OF RIVER
TRAFFIC. IS NOTED
Arrival Of Morning Star at
New Orleans Suggests
Great Possibilities.
DIXIE PAPER COMMENTS
Predicted That in Time Water Trans
portation Activities VIII Be
Resumed.

The New Orleans. fLa.) Picayune
of May IA printed the following edi-
torial anent the arrival of Captain
Blair and his party in the Crescent
City:
The arrival here Of the steamer
Morning Star, after 1,600-mile trip
from Davenport, Iowa, is a significant
event, even though the purpose of the
long voyage was merely to carry a
large party of excursionists and sight
seers. The trip OF single large steam
boat from Davenport to New Orleans
is not a particularly difficult under
taking at this stage Of water in the
river, but it appears that is the first
time that such a continuous voyage
has actually been made. 1t serves to
recall the fact that despite the compar-
atively little use that has been mace
of the great river in recent years it
affords the means of water communi-
cation from the northern boundary of
the country to the Gulf of Mexico
Men still comparatively young re-
member the time when regular lines
of steamers piled between this city
and St Louis, and also to Cincinnati,
as we'll as to hundreds of other points
on the Mississippi river and its tribu-
taries.
PERMITTED TO DECAY.
There was also steamboat traffic to
the upper headwaters of the Missouri,
to Pittsburg and the upper Ohio and
to many other distant points that no
steamboat now ever visits. That this
immense traffic should have been per-
mitted to decay and practically disap-
pear is not creditable to our thrift and
foresight. To such an extent have the
railroads displaced water transporta-
ton on our western rivers that a large
sidewheel steamboat of the type of the
Morning Star is now quite novelty,
where formerly hundreds Of larger
and finer boats traversed the rivers
in every direction. :.
The fact that a steamboat has made
the long trip from Davenport to this
city serves to recall the fact that it
may some day be possible to revive
the river traffic, if not along the old
lines, at least along lines more in
keeping with modern conditions.
There is no finer excursion trip in the
world than a voyage from here
to st. Louis and from that point to St.
Paul. MINI.
SURRENDER TO RAILROADS.
There is an immense traffic be-
tween the two points that the river
should handle in competition with the
railroads, but which is now surrender
ed entirely to the latter. 1t is i'm
possible to suppose that this must al
ways continue and that our magnifi-
cent system of navigable streams
must be unutilized. Such a thing
would be possible in no other country,
and it would be impossible with us
were we not proverbialy Indifferent
to the future and its possibilities and
eager only to secure immediate prof
its.
Interest in river transportation is,
however, not altogether dead, and the
spasrnodic efforts that are made from
time to time to revive 1t hold out the
hope that in time steamboats, will
again be common on all our western
streams and that they will secure
