TIE NEW FANCY WORK
BY MRS. KINGSLEN

VIERE is a bag of blue taffeta, COW
III cred with n flouncing OF fine
embroidery. II Is the daintiest
little thing imaginable, and just
seems made to contain a tiny blue
silk emery and n bit OF embroidery.
A piece Of silk 23 by 40 inches is re-
quired, with three-inch hem at the
top. One inch up this hem Is
crossed by a second row Of stitching,
and through this space silk cord
is run. The embroidery IS l6 by PA
Inches. Starting at the top it is
thus a little shorter ran the silk,
and this space below 10 covered with
a bit Of alloyer yalenciennes A
hounce Of the Val. adorns the top
ruftle Of the embroidery.
A bell-shaped needle book to 90
with this is made of two pieces of
cardboard, cut in the proper shape
lined with blue taheta and covered
with blue Powered ribbon. The two
pieces are scanned together al the end.
Buttonholed French flannel Is stitched
inside, and from the bottom hangs
the little blue emery, acting as the
tongue of the bell.
Most women nowadays use rolls
for centerpieces, but how many know
OF box for napkins? A square OF
cardboard, ~ inches on n side, has
folded over II two strips OF cretonne,
each, 26h by S15 inches before hem
ming. Cut one piece square across
the ends, and in the other cut each
end so as TO form a four-inch point.
Hem the strips and lay one over and
the other under the cardboard, at
right angles to each other. over
hand the strips at the edges in seams
21s inches long. This makes box
large enough to hold a dozen nap
kins, and TO cover them.
II you don't care for an embroid-
cry bag there is a pretty "house-
wife" made Of ivory or celluloid rings
run through ribbon flye-eighths OF
an inch wide. The strip. when fin
ished, should be about 10 inches long.
Emery needle book and scissors are
hung from this, and a bow Of the
ribbon Is sewed on at either end. The
ribbon. Of course, Is interlaced with
the rings, so that they form a con-
tinuous string, like lattice.

RUE It is that many sales girls
lack In courtesy, but II the
buyer is still gravely polite and
as expeditions as she should be-a
shirt waist, you know, or a neckpiece
is not house and lot--she will still
come out OF the moments deal tri-
umphant.
One thing the bad shopper inva-
riably does Is to wait until the lunch
hour to do her buying, because the
chop Is less crowded then. Now, as
salesgirls must eat as we'll as the rest
of humankind, the STAFF OF clerks may
be lessened at this time by half, and
80 If the fussy lady complains at not
being properly waited on she is show
ing herself a goose as we'll as a
heartless member of society.
The economical ones do without
their luncheons when they are on
their tours and 80 reach home as
cross as two sticks, and, besides, rare
ly know what is the matter with
them. Then on the shopping days
fussy madam may neglect to GO. to
market, thinking that since she must
spend so much money the scraps 10
the house will do for dinner that
day; wherefore hubby, who dooSo':
like scraps, and Nellie and iit.ic
Dick, tine school children VIII shcuij
have nourlshing food, are made sSf'
ferers.
Then, instead OF telling tAs s'o,c
people to send the parcels the na-.
morning, all during the evening the
whole household is bored with tho liz
cessant ringing OF the bell, ~" AD

Flowing Up Punne Orchards.

1t is stated that a number of growers
in the Washington county section of
this state have started to plow up their
prune orchards because of the low
prices obtainable during recent years.
While the price of prunes is today
touching the highest figure on record,
growers did not profit by this year s
extraordinary market. Most of them
sold on basis of a 1-2c pound this
season, although the present basis is
about double opening showing.
The demand for prunes continues
very strong, but stocks held on the
Coast are so limited that it is extreme
ly hard to get correct line on the
market. A sale may be made at one
price one day and fully cent different
the next "a hours. Prices are erratic
and are governed entirely by local CON
ditions at the time Of sale.

Killed by Dynamite Explosion.

A dispatch from White Salmon to
the Portland Telegram of last Friday
evening states that Angus Mclean, Fof
Eugene, foreman of a grubbing crew
on the Grimes ranch on Burdoin
Heights near there, was blown to frag-
ments by big charge of dynamite.
The charge had been set but failed to
explode as soon as expected, and Nc
Lean went to see what the trouble
was, when the IS sticks of the ex-
plosve was set off and the man was
blown to pieces. There was nothing
found of Mclean except a small frag,
ment of his skull and the rim of shis
hat. He was member of the Masonic
lodge at Eugene.

CHAMBER BOWLERS
INCREASE LEAD
Nationals Show Biggest Gain
in Team Average.

Since the last publication of the Dis
trict League averages, the only change
in standing which occurred in the
past week was that OF the Nationals,
by virtue of three victories over the
luckless Centrals. are now tied with
Carroll Institute for fourth place.
By taking the odd game from the
Saengers. the Chamber of Commerce has
increased its lead for the pennant to
three full games, while the German
team. at present in second place is
being hard pushed by the Government
Printing Office quint for second honors,
but one game separating the two teams
The recent spurt of the Nationals has
improved their team average from 775
TO Sl1, the largest gain in team bowling
since the opening of the season. While
away to a poor start, this team has won
five of its six games and now is going
strong enough to make it interesting for
the best of them.
The hard-luck prize, however, must un-
questionably be awarded TO the Cen
trails, who have lost six games either by
splits in the last frame or a missed
spare.
striking illustration of the fact that
the team rolling the best average is not
necessarily the team TO win out is shown
by glance at the standing. Chamber
Of Commerce leads in the race although
out-averaged by the Saengers fully six
teen pins 10 the game. The Government
Printing Office team, while last in aver
age, is in third place in the standing
of the clubs.
The high team game, $50. was made by
the leaders, while the runners up have
rolled the best tea inset to date with 2,75O.
In the individual standing. Miller, Of
the Saengers, has a clear lead for first
honors Cooper has taken Ecksteins
place, the latter having dropped to eighth
position, while Burdine jumped from
twelfth place TO fourth, by reason of his
last big set.
High individual score, 235, is held by
Auguste, of the Saengers, while Eiker

CATHEDRAL LOSES
TO EPISCOPAL HIGH
Greene's Boys Defeated by
II to 0 Score.

Alexandra, Va, Nov 1.-THE Cathe
dral School football team journeyed here
yesterday from Washington, d. c.. only
to be defeated by the strong Episcopal
High School eleven in az interesting but
quarrelsome game, 30. The two touch
downs were the results of fumbles by
the Cathedral backs unIuckily near their
own goal. The game was not started
until late, and the last quarter was played
in semi-darkness.
Episcopal should have won by a larger
score. but was kept down through her
own apparent lack of knowledge of the
playing rules. and by poor judgment of
her quarter backs. Addison outkicked
CARRIER l5 yards on each exchange of
punts, yet he only kicked five times dur
ing the entire game. The most brilliant
performers for the locals were Gardiner,
Addison, and Goodwin, while for Ca
thedral Small, Harris, and NJ. CARRIER
played best.
