DESIGN FOR SILK STOCKINGS
Oriental Characters Are 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 a 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 ve4 ! soft darning cotton, so 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 colo.ad stockings that the
colors used in tn 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, 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.

FIND COMFORT IN C0RSETS
Rule Now Is That the Figure Is MOI
to Be Constrained in the Slight
est Degree.

The old maxim that it is necessary
to suffer in order to be beautiful is
ruled out of court nowadays. Modern
femininity insists upon being beauti
full but she will not consent to suffer
One very interesting proof of this
fact is afforded by the new figure
which is not to be constrained in any
way. The designers have tried to
bring smaller waist measurement
into fashion. They have directed the
attention of their clients to the beauty
of the hinge"
But all that happens is that it is
new decided that the figure is to be as
lissom as ever and nodded upon the

utmost comfort will be worn.
It is the same with gloves and
boots. Loose gloves are modish, and
footgear is made of the most supple
and easy producing fabrics, such as
the softest leather, velvet, damasA
and satin.

town wear. Below the knees starts
a iounce Of the plaid material with
narrow box plaits touching one an

to the new autumn skirts.
Straps in plaid trim the jacket at
the back, starting at the side beneath
a long, square steel buckle. A couple
of revers in surah widen as they cross
the shoulders and form hood ending
in a point at the waist. One large
plaid button fastens the jacket below
the bust.

DIVORCE IN VARIOUS LANDS

In Hindostan either party for a
slight cause may leave the other and
marry.
In the olden times the Jews had
discretionary power of divorcing their
wives
Divorces are scarcely allowed in
Thibet, unless with the consent OF
both parties. Remarriage is forbid

In Cochin China the parties desir-
ing divorce break pair of chopstlcks
in the presence of witnesses and the
thing is done.
IL the wife of a Turkoman asks his
permission to go out and he says go
without adding, come back again,
they are divorced
In Siberia if man is dissatisfied
with the most trifiing acts of his wife,
he tears a cap or veil from her face
and that constitutes a divorce.
In Siam the first wife may be d.
vorced but not sold. as the others may
be. She may claim the first child
The others belong to the husband.

not become the mother of boy, she
may be divorced with the consent of

CIVIL WAR SHELLS IN TREES

The last battle Of the Civil war of
any importance was that in April,
1865. at Bentonville, Johnston coun.
ty, twenty-five miles from Raleigh.
N. C. To this day many trees of
large size, notably the pines. show
the effect of cannon fire and in some
cases of the extremely hot musketry
fire.
Albert Ross, farmer, recently cut
some timber and burned the badly
shaped portions. There was series
of explosions and the workmen fled.
Shells embedded in the wood had ex-
ploded and fragments were hurled
in all directions.
For years. sawmill men have been
very careful about handling the tim
Der from this section, because saws
have been almost ruined by striking
embedded bullets.
General Sherman declared that at
Bentonville he received the greatest
setback on his famous march through
Georgia and the Carolinas.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE RAT

Rats are natives of Asia, and their
raids westward belong to comparative
~ modern times. The little animal
was unknown in ancient Europe.
The black rat first came to Europe
from Asia in the sixteenth century,
and about the beginning of the seven
teentn or the ending Of the sixteenth
century he arrived in America.
This black rat was the common
house rat until the brown or gray rat
made his appearance in 1775.
The gray rat came to Europe from
India by way of Russia, and is now
known as the Norway rat from a mis-
taken tradition that it came from Nor
way to England and from the latter
country to America.

The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re,
sponsible for the constipated condition
OF most elderly people. The wear OF
years impairs the action of the bow
els and the digestive organs are moro
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild,
yet positively effective remedy, and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used it, is the compound of SIM
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by Dr. w. B. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send a trial bottle, free Of charge
