Judging from recent importations.
French women have accepted the little
coates, casaquing and caracas. which
were ere of the most characteristic fea-
lures of the Empire day dresses. They
made their first appearance a short
time ago and at once bounded into
popularity. In fact, Paris has gone
quite mad over them. That being the
case, 1t is only question OF time when
the style will become quite general

STRAIN BEGINS TO
TELL ON BEATTIE

RIG II NJ o N ID, VA.-Special.-
Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.. placed in
the penitentiary yesterday, is begin
ming to show signs of the strain
through which he is passing.
From a source which is known to
be reliable, it is learned that for some
time following his arrival at the big
white prison he was exceedingly ner-
vous, and it was sometime before he
could regain his composure.
He failed to call for the papers yes
terday to read what was being said
about his case. He was restless for
a considerable time, but when DR..
Oppenhimer, the acting surgeon of
the prison, visited him today he was
in good spirits and said that he ad
his breakfast to him he war r,ill
asleep. f
Beattie did not sing any songA nd
he did not appear to be in a HUI or
for talking last night That is, he
did not talk as he has talked since
his arrest-discussing any subject that
came up. He was for the most part
silent.
Early today the Rev. Benjamin
Dennis, of South Richmond, who has
known the young man for some years,
called at the prison to talk with him.
God, and talked with him for nearly
half an hour.
1t was said at the prison today that
visitors generally would not be al
lowed to see the condemned man, but
that ministers and the members of
his family would be permitted to see
him whenever they called in the reg
ular hours for visits.
Whatever may be the action of the
Supreme Court OF Appeals, il is ac-
copied that Governor Mann will grant
a stay of sentence. This will be for
some six weeks or two months, seeing
that to grant a stay of but thirty days
would mean his execution on Christ

VERY LATEST THING IN FUR
Maiden Ladies' With Feline Favortes
and Cruelty Societies VIII Prob
ably Expostulate.

According to one of the smart fash
ion periodicals the newest thing in
fur is catskin. Think Of it-poor pus-
sy: Tabby lovers, maiden ladies with
feline favorites, and cruelty societies
will probably be up in arms-but now
adays one goes great lengths for
fashion! /,
It is to be hoped, however, that
the fad will not become a real fash
ion and it is certainly doubtful if 1t
will.
According to this fashion edict, "the
skins make up beautifully, either in
white and black, white and gray or
solid maltese colorings, with Innings
of satin and moire.'
AS the article states, however, "the
lover of the domestic feline will
hardly be able to wear one" and we
are very glad indeed to agree.

tapestries nowadays would enable you,
to make suitable choice for almost,
any room, especially If it is a question
of economy and the ready made article
neither suit your taste nor price.
The oriental designs go we'll with a
room finished in dark or natural wood,
and the plain and corded rep would
match almost any room where lot
of light and air is essential.
The tedious process of crocheting
portieres of silk or foes may not APP
peal to the average, but when one con-
siders durability and the beautiful eff
fects obtained by the clever crochet
hooks the task may be worth the trou-

Of solid and openwork stitch, and
two or more colors may be used to

SOME new PORTIERES
PRETTY HANGINGS THAT ARE
EASILY MADE AT HOME.
surIap Now Much Used for Decorative
Purposes; Its Simple, Coarse Tex
ture Makes 1t Desirable for
Heavy Work.

Burlap has invaded almost every
class of feminine handiwork; its sim
pie, coarse texture makes it desirable
for the heavier kind Of needlework.
From the burlap pillow it is only a
step to the burlap portiere, which
often is stenciled and embroidered
with the same pattern. Hand en-
,broidered portieres have been conspic-
uous at recent state and county fairs,
their cheapness, simplicity and indi-
viduality having recommended them
to the housewife who believes In in
dividual expression in her house fur
nishings.
When the foundation of the portiere
is Of choice burlap many variations
are possible. Rafia and burlap, when
the colors are discreetly chosen, make
a chic combination. About four inch
es from the hem the fiber is drawn
out for as wide a space as your tastes
may decide. The raffia then is woven
in and out of the cross threads until
the space is completely and evenly
filled in. This raffia weaving may be
limited to border at the upper and
lower hem or to one length and
width. If desired it may extend clear
around the portiere, forming a per-
feet rectangle. If care is taken to get
the corners smooth and accurate the
effect is quite satisfying
Drawn work patterns used for cen
terpieces also have been found quite
suitable for an openwork portiere of
Russian crash and plain tapestry The
by the same method used for linen
and the fiber remaining generally is
strong enough for the needle Beads

desired, perhaps methodically enough

in dark shades are as pretty as they

iportiere of this sort is beyond re-

! Corduroy, the cotton and silk rep,
and the tapestry velvets can now be
bought in all colors by the yard and
made up with little labor If your
tastes incline to the elaborate some
Persian band borders, which may be
bought ready made, can easily be ap-

The Puckerinq EDGES.

The crinkling and pickering of
skirt edges can be blamed mostly to
the braid.
It should always be well sponged
before being put on the garment, as
like all clothes of heavy texture, ii
shrinks quite a bit on the first sus
picion of dampness, and unless damp
ened at least once before sewing on,
it will be sure to spoil the looks Of
the garments edge.
No matter whether the cloth of the
skirt is sponged or not, the braid
should be, because cloths that do
not need sponging before sewing in
to the garment shrink ever SO slight
ly and the braid is sure to shrink a
good deal more after worn only q
short time.

step in front of this crossbar to pre-
vent an uncomfortable position. The
door in front is hinged at the top and
opens upward when grain and water
are given. Hay is placed in the hay
rack from the front. The partitions
are so constructed that it is almost i'm
possible for COW to step upon the
udder or teat of one lying down next
to her. This feature alone Is worth
the cost of several stalls to the own
er of valuable individuals.
A WOODEN mat is laid over the con.
crete floor This mat is removable,
permitting the cleansing of the en-
tire floor whenever occasion demands.
If it seems desirable the manger may
be constructed of concrete the same
as the floor, and where new stalls are
being erected the manger and floors
should be made at the same time. This
construction will be more durable than
separate construction. sCost of 8
single stall is about six dollars,
Concrete Floors Best.
Concrete is the best and most SAM
tary floor that can be used in a dairy
barn and efforts should be made to
have such floors installed whenever
a barn is being constructed. Stable
floors should be laid with slope or
mitch either to a common center of to
one end of the barn. A slope OF one
or two inches in eight feet is ample,
and three-fourths to one inch Is usu-
aly considered desirable for the aver
age COW stall.

be about one inch in so feet, but this

HUNGARIAN STATESMAN HERE

One of the most eminent of Essro
pean statesmen, Count Albert Appon
vi, member Of the Hungarian narlia
ment and ex-minister of public wor
ship and education Of Austria-Hungary
is now on visit to this country in
the interest of international peace. He
has come to deliver. a series of lee
lures on the difficulties Of the peace
problem in Europe and to urge this
country to become the worlds leader
in the efforts to abolish war. This is
not his first visit to the United States.
He came here in 1904 to attend the
peace conference held at st. Louis. He
has been active in the cause of the
worlds peace for mally years and has
attended interpariiamentary confer
ences on the subject at Brussels
Christiania, Paris and London.
Count Apponyi is a member of
Hungarian aristocracy which traces
it's descent in an unbroken line back
to 1885. He was born in 1916, was ed
ucated in schools conducted by the

Lujtt;a Coats,

they are not outdoor garments;
they are merely little outer bodfces
on many of the empire models is for
evening gowns or negligees. The
French call them "casaquins." They
are of silk or satin, and are made with
high waist lines and little peplums.
Some little coates fasten at the
back. This gives an excellent oppor-
tunity for applying embroidery; chif-
fon revers or beadwork can be used
on bodice and tail, and as last sug-
gestion the coat can be just as short
as you please.

committee. Mr.. Underwood will be

Mr.. Underwood never held an office

he had a bitter fight Speaker Crisp
