TEA COSY OF NOVEL SHAPE
Fits Over Teapot Easily and Is More
Ornamental Than the Ordl-
nary Affair.

In our sketch may be seen a tea
cosy Of a somewhat novel shape, and
It is quite as simple to make as an
ordinary cosy. and 1t will be found to
at over the teapot much more easily,
and is also more ornamental.
The colors of the materials for a
tea cosy should always be selected
to harmonic with the tea service
with which it is to appear, and the
cosy from which our sketch as made
was carried out entirely in blue and
white.
1t is composed Of six separate pam
els. and each one may more or less be

must be well padded with wadding,
and then the whole six portions are
sewn together at the edges, the seams
afterwards being hidden with a blue
and white silk cord, which is carried
into three little loops at the top and
forms a kind OF handle by which it
may be lifted. The little diagram on
the right-hand side shows how won
derfully well this shape fits over any
ordinary teapot. The cosy should be
lined with soft silk. and instead of
having the same design on each panel
they can be varied il desired, and
there are numbers of transfer patterns
of suitable designs that are easily OBJ
tainabie at a trifiing, cost, that may b.
used for this purpose.

cured lat Passes.
Previous Record of 1t6 Was Held by
Miller Fueglns of ST. Louis-Pitch-
er Marquard Whitfield Largest
Number Of Batsmen.

Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs was
the most patient waiter in the Ma
tional league last season, according
to official statistics prepared and is
sued by Secretary Heydler as sort
of supplement to the conventional
averages. The Cub left fielder was
given lat bases on balls in 156 games
last season, and that not only was
far ahead of any other player, but
outdid the previous walking record
of the league, held by Miller Higgins.
That was 116 passes in 151 games in
1910.
The generosity of National league
pitchers last season resulted in to-
tai of 4,279 bases on balls. st. Louis
pitchers were most liberal, issuing
592 free trips to first, but the Cub
hurlers were close behind them, with
a record of 5S5 passes issued. Gin
cinnati was third with SIS, and Brook
Ign was last with AIS.
Besides Sheckard, who led the
Cubs, the best walters on each team
were Bates of Cincinnati, 103; Hug
gins of ST. Louis, &C. Knabe of Phil
adelphia, "a; Deyore of New York,
81; Sweeney of Boston, II; Hummel
of Brooklyn, 81; Wagner and Byrne
of Pittsburgh, 67 each. Some OF
Wagner's passes were thrust upon
him.
National league pitchers struck out
a total of 4,79S batsmen during 1911.
