DAINTY LINEN COVER
CAN BE USED FOR PINcUsHIoN
CASE OR A sAcHET.
Either In White With the Same Color
of Ribbons or Blue or Pink Linen
With Requisite Embrol-
derles In Cotton.

A white linen cover that can be
used as a pincushion case or a sachet
Is made from white linen, scalloped,
eye-letted and embroidered with a de-
sign or monogram on the top.
Draw a circle ten inches in diam
eter and divide 1t on the edge into
twelve points OF compound scallops.
Each point consists of q top central
scaIlop with two on each side of it
making a slope OF an inch and one
half. The scallops should be about
~one-quarter Of an inch deep.
Three-quarters OF an inch from the
lowest point of the scallop draw eye
let's "a to the circle, two to each point.
In the center may go q tieur-de-lis, q
spray OF flowers, or a monogram, all
to be worked in solid embroidery.
Trace the pattern-which should be
drawn on heavy paper-on a top OF
fine white linen. For the under side
overlap two selvedges OF the linen a
half-inch and draw the circle on the
two pieces as II one. This gives an
opening at the middle of back when
the cover Is finished. A b~uttonhole
Ia put in the middle of the upper lap
and a button on the under one.
Work the eyelets on the back with
white mercerized cotton and the cen
trail design and eyelets of the top.
Basic the two pieces together and
buttonhole the scallop through the

the cover in one piece instead of the

getaer.

Topped bow at one side. For the
satchet make Il circular case OF white

A new and engaging set of fancy
work Is the crocheting of chain mesh
bags in gold. silver or other metal
threads. The top of the bag is hn-
ished IN a shell or picot stitch. and II
a very elaborate affair Is desired the
same decoration is used at the sides
and lower edge. 1t Is doubtful, how
ever, II the extra frills are an i'm
proyement. The finished product is
lined with satin and drawn up by a
cord and tsssel. Candle shades and
other "Frenchy" little things are
evolved in the anne way, and those
who become adopts in the art are

Floral Decorations,

Flowers add so much to the
chcerfulness of the home, even though
we may not be e~xtravagant in buying
them lavishly. A few flowers tasteful
ly arranged brighten the entire ap-
pearance of a room. Dinner tables look
bare and neglected without the little
vase of flowers or c%enterpiece of
ferns.
Never keep flowers after they start
to fade and die. In winter a bit OF hol-
ly, ~varlegated Ivy or evergreen of any
variety will give just the little touch
of cheerfulness needed to counterfeit
the dull grayness Of the out-of-doors.
Foliage plants are excellent for the
house. The Boston fern, rubber tree
and sword fern grow we'll in the
house.

FOUND LOITERING
IN REAR OF HOME

Joseph Patton, colored, was arrest
ed last evening by Patrolman Menke
in the alley to the rear of 315 North
9th street and was arranged in po-
lice court this morning on the charge
of lettering. He plead guilty and was
fined $40 and costs.
Patton contends that he come to
Richmond yesterday morning. Last
night he went to the home of Frank
Critchet to meet a friend whom he
stated was employed as a domestic.
But as the Critchets do not employ a
colored domestic, the police do not
give his story much credence. AL
though when caught he was making
ready to enter the yard, lettering was
the only charge which could be placed
against him.
There have been number of hold
ups and attempts to break in houses
in that section of the city. Also sever.
al complaints have been filed with the
police that a Jack the pepper" has
been active.

Mozart's Musical Memory.

Mozart had a wonderful memory Of
musical sounds. When only fourteen
years of age he went to Rome to as,
sist in the solemnities Of holy week
Immediately after his arrival he went
to the Sistine chapel to hear the ia
nous "Miserere" of Allegri. Being
aware that it was forbidden to take or
give a copy of this renowned piece of
music, Mozart placed himself in cor
ner and gave the strictest attention to
the music and on leaving the church
noted down the entire piece. A few
days afterward he heard it second
time and. following the music with his
own copy in his hand, satisfied himself
of the fidelity Of his memory. The
next day he sang the "Miserere" at a
concert. accompanying himself on the
harpsichord. and the performance pro-
duced such a sensation in Rome that
Pope Clement XIV. requested that this
musical prodigy should be presented
to him at once.

Children Need Extra

The mother cannot do better for her
children than to train them, from in
fancy, to regularity of the bowels.
Chronic constipation in later life can
be avoided if the child learns early the
need for a daily evacuation of the
poisonous stomach waste.
There will, of course, be times when
the little one will become constipated
and bilious. In hot weather, especial.
ly, immediate attention is necessary,
as much serious illness results from
inactive bowels. Salts, cathartics, pur-
gatives, and similar drastic irritants
are harsh and violent and only bring
temporary relief while disturbing the
whole system. A gentle. pleasant
bowel stimulant like DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is far preferable. Syrup
Pepsin contains no narcotic drug. be-
ing composed of simple laxative herbs
