BEAD TASSEL EASILY MADE
Having tho Fringe and Beads, the
Decoration Is by No Means Hard
to Put Together.

A very simple bead tassel can be
made from deep fringe or from loose
beads.
If you use loose beads you must
thread forty lengths of seventy beads
each, or twenty lengths of a hundred
and thirty beads If double end is
preferred to single one. Each
length is attached to narrow strip
Of satin ribbon. which is then wound
round and round and stitched through
to prevent the middle of the little
bundle from slipping.
If the tassel is made of fringe, cut
off five inches and wrap the heading
round and sew as described above
Next take a piece of stiffening one
inch and half long. two inches broad
at one end and three-quarters of an
inch at the other. Cover with silk
and oversew the edges together so as
to form tube
Slip the. satin ribbon inside the
larger aperture in the tube and stitch
through securely, for the beads make
the tassel very heavy. Thread about
two hundred beads and wind the
string round the tube to completely
cover the silk, sewing at intervals.
Make another string of eighty beads,
double into three, ana sew to the top
TO form loop.

SERVING THE AFTERNOON TEA
Appurtenances May Be Costly or Sim
pie, but Everything Must Be of
the Dalntiest Order.

When the woman who is her own
maid serves afternoon tea she appre-
ciates the convenience of having a
cart which can be wheeled from kitch-
en- to living room and will hold every
thing that Is needed for the collation..
The carts come in mahogany or fumed
oak with glass top shelves and rub
ber tired wheels and in natural wood
with rattan, and, considering their
usefulness, none are very expensive.
Lacking the cart. many housekeepers
have in their living room a little oak
or mahogany or willow tea table
equipped with spoon drawer, which
also holds several paper napkins. In
stead of keeping the service upon
the table its top Is ordinarily covered
with an elaborately embroidered silk
en- mat. which Is whisked off when the
tea equipage is brought in on a tray
OF the proper size. Unless this tray
Is handsome affair of glass trimmed
with mahogany, silver or brass, It
should be covered with a fine linen
tray cloth and be accompanied by a
muffin stand Of wood or of willow.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-08-17

they are the new and individual fea-
ture Of this style. Not everyone can
wear them.
All the hair is waved for this hair
dress and the puffs are quite literally
pinned on. That would at any rate
be the most convenient way in which
to wear them. They are too light and
fluffy to burden or heat the head and
as matter of fact, much more CON-
Portable than the natural hair is when
arranged in so many puffs.
1t will be noticed that the puffs are
arranged very close to the head and
that there is not much hair at the
sides of the face as in the greater
number Of today's coiffures.

BRILLIANCY IN SHOE COLORS
Many Of the Modes Verge on the Gar
Ish, Though Remarkably Pretty
Effects Are Produced.

Just as colors in hosiery have been
used with discretion by the woman
with talent for dress, so have colors
in our footgear. Some women have
adopted gayly colored tops for their
shoes with an eelat which carried
them off; others have impressed us
with the vulgarity of the new whim.
But one and all have fallen captive to
the new Colonial slipper, which was
introduced along with the dashing lit
tie Directoire coats, the Continental
hats, and other reminders OF the Ma
poleonic period. 1t is a jaunty little
affair, which is simply bewitching on
the right foot, a slender little foot
with a well arched instep. for it
boasts a broad pointed tongue. spread
ing out over the insted, high heel
on the Spanish order, and a stunning
buckle - just such a buckle as the
more fortunate Of us have handed
down for generations. We copyists of
today select such a bucgle in gum
metal leather, old silver, or. If we
wish to be very rash. rhinestones.
Can't you see just how fascinating
these slippers can be?

whether in black or a color to match
the gown, are brilliant with buckles
Of the glittering rhinestones, or cut

set with brilliants, are enhancing as
adornments to a dainty satin slipper
Still another fancy calls for a button
Of brilliants.

Space-Savina ParasoIs.

There is growing fancy for parasols

any angle, which makes it convenient
for motoring. tennis tournaments or

appears in the handle. This sunshade
has a rosette and loop by which 1t can

growth of surf-loving plants and
animals. The shores of the islands
are extremely diversified, exhibit
ing rocky headlands. alternating
with sandy stretches, gravel beaches
and muddy bays. The tide rises

Some of the channels and bays are

The School Election

Every voter in this school district
is urged to attend the special eiec-
tloh to be held at the school house
tomorrow AFTERNOON, between the
hours of one and five. The propo-
sitions to be submitted are stated by
Mr.. Culver, clerk of the board of
directors, as follows:
First: Shall the directors be
authorized to sell the present school
site and building thereon and use
the proceeds, or so much thereof as
may be necessary, for the purchase
of a new and larger site.
Second: In the event that such
authorization is given shall the di-
rectors be authorized to borrow
money AID issue bonds of the dis
trict in the sum of $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting new building
on the new site.
Third: In the event that change
OF location is not authorized shall
the directors be empowered to issue
bonds for So, 500 for the purpose Of
providing additional facilities on
the present site.
Voters favoring the purchase of a
new location, affording ample play
grounds and good ground for school
gardens, are asked to express their
preference for either of two pro-
posed locations, viz: Hackett's park
and two acres of the Sandwith prop
erty. or four acres of Senator
Blair's property, both being excel
lent locations.
The directors have been assured
that the present property can be
sold for at least $500 and if the
larger of the two bond propositions
submitted is approved the board
will be able to use the entire pro-
ceeds for the erection Of new build
ing, whichever site is selected
The requirement of more exten-
sive grounds is considered of very
great Importance. Such grounds
are now obtainable practically with
out cost; it is merely a matter of
exchange. 1t can hardly be expect
ed that such favorable opportuni-
ties will long remain open. Moth
ing can be gained by delay. The
growth of the town is not likely to
be rapid. At the rate of incre ease
in the assessed valuation of proper
ty which has taken place during the
past ten years it would be ten
years more before an additional
SIS. 900 could be raised for building
purposes by the sale of bonds. In
the meantime it would be little
short of criminal to fail to provide
the facilities for carrying out the
best modern ideas of common
school education which it is our
duty, to the limit Of our ability, to
see that the children committed to
our care shall enjoy.
