ton, which should be taken to the
right side of the guest, and with the
right hand placed on the service
plate. This is not done until after
the soup course. When the soup plate
is removed, the service plate is taken
with it.
After this course the plate with
the portion of food on it is placed
on the table in front of the guest.
and close to the edge of the. table.
If anything is to be served with the
course, it should be placed on the
tray and passed to the left side of
each guest, being held low enough to
enable the guest to help himself or
herself, with the right hand.
If the method of always having
plate before each guest until dessert
is followed, then the tray should be
dispensed with. Remove the plates
from the right with the left hand
and place the following course or
empty plates with tn right hand
also from the right The dishes con-
tanning vegetables, etc, may be car
ried to the butler or maid in the
palm of the left hand with folded
napkin beneath the dish.
Guests should be served in rota-
ton, beginning alternately at the
right and left of the host and host
ess, giving in opposite direction for
each successive course.
The more simple way of serving is
to have the carving done in the kit
chen or pantry, then place the course
on a large platter. accompanied by
the necessary serving fork or spoon.
Place the hot plates before the guests
and then offer the platters to each
guest at the left side.

terlal of which the garment is made
and around it one row of lace inser-
ton, cutting away the material under
the lace, so that it will look like
a pretty mode of trimming instead
Of a patch. OF course, this must be
done on both sides.
When the lace insertion on your
lingerie has been torn out in the
washing, the best way to mend it is
to stitch new lace of the same design
If possible, over the old and cut

Beading can be replaced in the
same manner, while a new lace edge
can always be whipped on with very
little trouble.
The embroidery on long white pet
ticoats can be repaired when it has

that matches or nearly matches the

Danville. Va. July 21.-Since ar

police and citizens has been securing
the Mount Carmel neighborhood fol
two unknown moonshiners. who ar,
supposed to have attempted the :nur.

neighborhood named J. c. Bass ant

night the posse has been unable 10 10.

on Saturday morning it is said tina,
Walter Bass, brother of the injured
man, discovered u large still on the
plantation OF J. l. Neal and reported
the matter to the Federal authorities
in Danviile. J. NJ Tucker. with two
other officers. went to the place in the
afternoon, seized and destroyed seven
fermenters. which had evidently been
left by the moonshiners during their
hurried Departure. The officers were
unable to ma the operators OF the stUl,
ana left.
and German Pace. who was spending
the night with him. were awakened
from their sleep by voices calling them.
They arose and went TO the bedroom
window, which is on the second hoor.
and as they opened ii two shots rang
out and both teli TO the floor each man
having been struck in the right eye.
People nearby heard the reports and
hurried to the house and found the
two men lying on the iloor. There were
no signs OF the would-be assassins The
injured mems wounds were hurriedly
dressed, ana they were placed upon the
early morning train and brought to
the DanVille Hospital
Bass was found to be in the most Sc
rous state his right eye being blown
out, while PAGES eye Is seriously af-
iected. The latter. however. was able
to leave the hospital to-day, and he
returned to his home.
1t seems that both the men wore shot
by mistake. The biockaders. hearing
mat Walter Bass had informed the
officers, went to the home OF j. {. Bass
ana shot him and his son-in-law in
place OF the man they really sought.
