LACE CAPS NOW THE FAD
Use for Stored Away Pretty Laces
Has Been Found-Most Ac-
ceptabIe Presents.

For new purpose girls are turning
out their stores Of pretty laces and
looking them over or buying silk net
and allover lace remnants, to say moth
ing Of Cluny and Mechlin edges.
They are making caps. And not for
any mythical grandmamma, either. 1t
is the dainty couture of the bonnie
maid who makes it that is to be
crowned with this charming bit of
vanity. If she has learned the art Of
making fine and always new needle
point lace it is probably theater cap
that she is fashioning of the black silk
lace braids which one sees her tack
ing deity to stamped pattern.
When finished it will be drawn up
with a cord of the palest pink tea
rose silk, and on the left side will be a
spray Of rosebuds of the same delicate
shade, unless, indeed, she is a bru-
nette, in which case the cap may have
the completing touches of deep. clear,
cardinal cord or ribbons and blossoms
Another girl is making her friends
the most delightful little morning or
boudoir caps. These are usually of
allovcr lace, like the quaint mob caps
of Colonial times, but with frills turn
ing up and more airy little frills turn
ing down against the wearer's soft
hair, and these, too, are Of lace. For
a bride of tomorrow she is setting low
ing stitches in most coquettish little
effair to be worn at breakfast, adorn-
ed with a rose of soft, lustrous moon
light blue satin, and with this will go
demure little reticule of the same
shtmmery satin to be fastened at the
belt Of the young amateur housewife.

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
CIerqyman's Mistake Resulted in Civ
ing Decided Surprise to Digni-
fled Archbishop.

One Of the most amusing stories
which the Hon Lionel A Tollemache
tells in Nuts and Chestnuts," is that
entitled, The Wrong Envelope" Mr..
NJ, missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking
him to dine, and the other from the
secretary OF a religious society, very
old friend, asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishops invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: Mr. M,
do you always answer your dinner in
VitatiOns in the same way"
Il do not understand, your grace. "
The letter which was then shown to
the missionary, ran thus: You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that
| shall be on the high seas on the date
you name. "-London Tit-Bits.

DESIGN FOR FACE CLOTH BAG
Dainty Woman viii Be Careful to
Have Separate Receptacle for This
Most Necessary Utensil.

The absolutely dainty girl is espe-
cially careful of her face cloth. She
uses it but one day, and in order that
1t may not accumulate germs and other
impurities she is particular to keep it
out of the way of them-in a bag
This bag, like all of the other toilet
belongings of the dainty girl, is a
fetching affair Of cretOnne, shaped like
a correspondence card envelope and
about twice the size of such a recep-
tacle.
To make one Of these face cloth
bags, cut a paper pattern of a CORE
spondence envelope, enlarge it doubly
and lay it upon a piece of cretonne
Then cut similar shape from rubber
lied tissue cloth, place the edges of
the two materials together, bind them
with ribbon and join three of the
points together under q fancy button,
leaving the fourth edge for the flap
whose point should be equipped with
loop large enough to go over the
button.
The rubber lined envelope is really
the only sanitary receptacle for a face
cloth, and it is the only one in which
a damp rag can be placed safely.
Even this should not be permitted to
become water soaked, as it inevitably
will do unless frequently spread out
fiat and hung in the sun.

HELPFUL HINTS.

A clever little idea for refresh
ments for a children's party is this:
Get box of animal crackers and
with a heavy strip fasten the animals
upright on round sailed crackers or
the long saltines may be used. Dec
crate with chocolate by putting in
eyes with melted chocolate. These
will delight the little people and there
is nothing harmful in such refresh
ments.
Never shake rugs or hang them on
fines to be beaten. One such treat
ment will often ruin a rug. Place
them on the ground and beat or sweep
them. They can be very satisfactorily
cleaned by spreading on porch and
carefully sweeping. The best way
of course, is to use the vacuum clean
er on them, as then there is no wear
on them.
Celery on Chestnut Salad.-Take
equal measures of celery and cooked
chestnuts, cut in thin slices. Add a
few tablespoonfuls of French dressing.
At serving time arrange on lettuce
and garnish with slices of latticed ap-
pies.
A very pretty way of serving indi-
vidual butter for company is to make
the balls much smaller, using three
small ones on each butter plate in
stead of one, and from parsley break
stalk with three stems, inserting the
end in each butter ball. The effect
is very pleasing, as they look more
like flowers than butter.
When out of cake put delicate
crackers together with white or
chocolate frosting Chopped nuts and
raisins may be added and these little
cakes served with tea will be happily
received by any guests.
A cleaner for wall paper: Take a
cup of sifted flour, one tablespoonful
of salt, one tablespoonful of coal oil,
two tablespoonfuls Of vinegar, two ia
blespOonfuls of ammonia and a half
cup Of water. Mix in a small sauce
pan and cook until the moisture is
evapOrated. stirring constantly.
Remove from the fire and knead with
the hands until ready to use. Use a
small piece, kneading and turning it
to keep the clean side out to rub with.
When troubled with rats put fresh
unslaked lime around their runways.
If they get burned they will be care
full never to try it again.

BOY CARRIED OFF HONORS
lnquisitiVe Person Probably Still Is
Looking for information That
He Didn't Get.

Every one who has lived in a small
town knows the type of person gener-
ally detested there for his inquisitive
habits. That even children delight in
thwarting the purposes of such per
son is shown by an incident related by
New Englander.
A woman in a New England town
wished friend to share her cider
vinegar and sent her nine-year-old son
to deliver it. He returned quickly, his
face wearing a satisfied smile.
Mrs. Brown was much obliged, ma,
but 1 met Mr.. Parker just after l got
there. He said, 'Hullo, sonny! l Won
der if you've got molasses in that Jug?
and l said NO, sir He said, Got
'inegar?' and told him No, sir
'At last he said. Well that's a jug
N your hand, amt it?' and I put my
tug on the ground and said, No sir .

Not for Earthly Ears.

Doctor Reed, a minister, was open
ing the Sunday morning service at
his church with the usual prayer.
While he was in the midst of it a
stranger entered the church and took
a seat far back.
Doctor Reed was praying in a low
note, and the man in the rear, after
straining his ears for a while, called
out: Pray louder, Doctor Reed. l
cant hear you"
Doctor Reed paused, opened his
eyes and turned them around until
they rested on the man in the rear.
Then he said; Il was not addressing
you, sir; l was speaking to Cod

There is little chance of novelty in
the cut of long heavy coats made of
double-faced fabrics, says the Dry
goods Economist, as the material does
not lend itself favorably to fancy out
line; therefore, the dominant style is
the straight line, full-length cut with
large collars, revers and cuffs, with
low left-side fastening. The buttons
are very large and usually have a sng-
gestion Of color in harmony with the
trimming effects of the coat.

Gloves Lcosened.

Kid gloves that are too tight should
be folded for a short time in a piece
of wooden cloth that has been dipped
in hot water and wrurg as dry as pos
sible. When the gloves have become
warm and damp, they can easily be
drawn on the hands. Gloves that have
shrunk in cleaning respond readily to
this treatment.

Though much exaggerated in details
of trimming, the big costs of contrast
ing colors are smart and fetching.
These coats are worn over simple lit
tie trotteur frocks of mohair or serge
in the mornings, though they are not
considered correct for ceremonious
afternoon wear. This coat is built of
good brown duo face cloth, having
reverse in plaided effect. The trim
mings of this plaid fabric, the big but
tons with wooden rims and the huge
patch pockets Oh the outer side of the
coat give the simply cut garment
great style and snap.

ABSENCE OF JUDGE SPEER
DELAYS COL. HUFF'S TRIAL

MACON, GA. Oct. 5.-The case of
contempt of court against Colonel w
A. Huff for sending a fiery letter to
Judge Emory Speer Will be sounded,
though not tried, in the United States
court before Judge Grubb on Monday.
The district attorney is unable to pros
coed with the prosecution because of
the absence Of Judge Speer, who is in
Nova Scotia, where he went immedi-
ately following the institution of con
tempt proceedings in August.
Judge Grub was appointed to pre-
side because of the supposed disquali-
fication Of Judge Speer, but it seems
that the government reckons upon the
latter as the only witness against Colo
mel Huff, and without him the trisl
can not proceed.

This will give the case six full days
of six hours each in court The facts
that there are As defendants, that the
case is exceedingly complicated and
that there will be about 500 witnesses,
making the trial a matter Of three
months at least, are the reasons for
holding sessions of court whenever pos
sihe.
1t is quite possible that before the
case finally has been presented TO the
jury it will run into night sessions.
District Attorney Miller. who already
has devoted one entire day to telling
the jury what the government expects
TO prove against the alleged dynamite
conspirators. continued his long state
ment today and probably will not con-
clude before Tuesday.
