DESIGN FOR SILK STOCKINGS
Oriental Characters Arc the Latest to
Be Used by Those Who Like
Embroidery.

Girls who are fond Of needlework
will want to embroider themselves
two or more pairs of silk stockings
in the now fashionable Oriental de-
signs.
Select a'good grade OF silk stock
ing woven with thread silk. black or
any color you desire; then with a
sharp-pointed piece Of tailor's chalk
outline n design representing some Gu
rious Chinese or Japanese symbol.
lettering or number.
These can be found in any Oriental
shop or on a Chinese laundry check.
They are not difficult to sketch. being
for the most part broad lines crossing
each other in a curious manner.
These should be slightly padded
with very soft darning cotton. 80 that
the center will be raised above the
outer edge. The embroidery is then
done in fine floss silk, using brilliant
red, green. yellow. purple and blue. All
colors rich in tone are effective, and
occasionally threads Of silver and gold
can be introduced in the embroidery.
Care must be taken when applying
the work to colored stockings that the
colors used in the embroidery harmo-
nize with that Of the stocking itself.
Any color or combination OF colors
can be used on black.
Tiny beads and small flowers are
lovely when worked in rich Oriental
colors. For example. n spray OF Wis
taria is charming on violet silk stock
ings. Cherry blossoms on white or
green, iris on blue or yellow. and the
flaming poppy on black.
When working. an easy way to keep
the stocking taut so the embroidery
will lie smooth Is to slip china egg
or very smooth darning egg into the
stocking, then hold the silk tightly
over that as you would for ordinary
darning. The embroidery will then
be perfectly smooth when worn.

Inaccurate, but it is considered here
safe to say that the total is well above
100000.

TintInu Lace,

A weak solution Of permanganate Of
potash will tint laces that deep shade
Of ecru SO much used at present.
1t must be carefully dissolved. 9TH
crwise it will produce stains which
are impossible to remove.
Test the dye with a small piece OF
muslin before dipping the lace. II the
color is too deep, dilute the solution
until the required hue is obtained.
Never allow tho lace to remain in
tho dye; simply dip in and out again.
Tea or a solution of coffee is excel.
lent to tint laces. The latter pro-
duces the fashionable string color.
Lace trimmings to match the ma
terial of the frock are much used this
season.
With two or three simple colors
even an amateur can produce good re-
suits.

Chairman of State Democratic Finance

Phoenix, Sept. 3-Ed l.. Shaw chairman of the finance commit tee for Arizona of the natiOna Democratic finance committee mailed out letters last evenin 2 to the various members of the committee over the state.
 MT. Shaw'S letter, which is self-explanatory, and O n e o1 interest to all democrats fellows I Dear Sir: In order to facilitate matters in regard to the finances of the national campaign com mittee, of which you have been appointed a member, l take the liberty of enclosing herewith a subscription list; and owing to the fact that this committee will be unable to get together, l | would suggest that all of us begin at once to get what money we can together, and may either send it to me here, or direct to Mir. ROlla Wells in New York. It seems to be the idea of the national finance committee to make this a popular subscription and is designed to reach persons who give small amounts, and l hope that we be successful in reaching as many individuals as possible.
 This is not done to interfere with any work that has been or is being done by either the newspapers or individuals, but the intent is to cooperate with them.
 Owing to the fact that the finance committee will meet on or about September 10, they are anxious to have as much finances on hand as is possible in order to plan their campaign; and I suggest that remittanceS reach them as near as possible before that date.
 II would also suggest that you have made additional SubScrip- tion lists and send them to peo- pie in your district whom you think will take hold and circu- late them.
 Kindly advise me your pro- gress from time to time.
 Wishing you success, and as surfing you of my cooperation with you at all times, I beg to remain.
 Yours very truly, ED l.. SHAW, Chairman Finance Committee

 They have a force of men talk ing out ore and are arranging for delivering 100 tons monthly to the Pioneer Shelter, and to this end have arranged for an auto truck and two large ore teams, all of which will be in commission during the present month.

Those who are destitute of funds and dependent upon the people for their support, will be prop erty provided with necessary food and clothing from funds ap- propriated by congress for this purpose. Lieutenant Donaldson will make all purchases for this purpose from the local dealers, paying for same in orders on the commissary department of the west, with headquarters at San Francisco. There are no men among the cOloniStS now in Me Sa. only the women and children of families driven from their homes The men remained to prevent, if possible, the entire destruction of their farms. The
 
 Mexican rebels robbed them of their horses, their provisions and much of their clothing and threatened that there would be worse in store for them if they remained ill the war zone. While the men were ready to stay and take chances, even to fight if it became necessary, they could not afford to allow their wives and daughters to remain a possible prey to the maraud- ing bands of guerillas that were infesting Chihuahua.
