CARE OF The SILK UMBRELLA
Usually Disappointing in Its Wear BE-
cause Il Has Not Received
Proper Care.

a silk umbrella seldom receives the
proper care. and consequently IS usu
ally disappointing in its wear. A SOFT
silk wears the best, with carved OF
natural wood handle, although silver
gold. ivory, Dresden china, etc. are all
used. A steel frame is lighter to carry
and admits of closer roll. When car
rying your umbrella on the street not
in use. keep it furled; If hanging IN
your closet keep its case on. In fact'
it presents very neat appearance II
the case is on when it is carried. TO
furl. grasp the stick in the right hand
shake out the folds, wrap them close
ly around the stick, beginning at the
lower end, and smooth as they are
wrapped around the stick, then fasten
with the silk band and slip on the silk
cover.
When coming in with wet UNI
brella. stand it handle down to dry,
then wipe off the handle and ferrule,
and furl the silk sections. If the silk
gets a spot on it, remove it with a
silk rag. warm water and soap. Clean
A gold or silver handle with whiting,
wash a china handle in warm soap
suds. rub up a wooden handle with a
very slightly oily rag.
A good way to mend silk umbrel-
la is to wet a piece OF black court
plaster and fasten it to the silk just
under the tear and let it dry. 1t is a
much more satisfactory procedure
than darning. It closes the hole and
there are no stitches showing.

REMOVABLE YoKES ARE BEST
Decided Economy in the Matter OF
Laundry When There Is a Baby
in the House.

Yokes on baby's dresses soil more
quickly than any other part OF the
little frocks; therefore a clever wom-
an has launched the idea of making
detachable yokes that can be put over
a plain slip, taken off and easily laun'
dered when soiled.
These are made very much on the
order of the lace and linen collars
worn BY baby's mother; but they but

buttons, either lace or plain linen.
One dainty yoke is made of alter
nate strips Of fine tucking and narrow
lace insertion. The pattern over
which it is cut is exactly like square
sailor collar that opens in the back.
There is no seam on the shoulders;
the strips of lace and tucking extend
over the shoulders three inches back
and front from that point. A narrow
lace edge finishes the yoke on the
outer edge and also at the neck and
band. When worn, it is attached to

COLUMBUS IN STATUARY

Gated on November 9, 1862, although
the foundation had been laid as far
back as 1876. The inscription It bears
IS: TO Christopher Columbus. the
Fatherland." Spain, which country
failed the Genoese during his life
time, has been more generous to his
memory. and here are many shafts
raised 10 record the greatness OF his
deed
Perhaps the noblest monument yet
erected TO the memory OF Columbus
is that which stands in Barcelona It
was in this city that King Ferdinand
and his consort. Isabella, received
the admiral on the return from his
first voyage 1t is most appropriate
situation. Much care was taken in
the selection OF the design OF the
Barcelona monument, and the result
is artistic in every sense OF the
word
In the new world nearly every
country has testified IN recognition
OF the deed of Columbus by the cree
tion OF some character OF monument.

the original monument erected on
This continent to commemorate the
achievement OF Columbus.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
coutemporaneous painting or likeness
Of Columbus extant. For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
Guce his lineaments In marble have
been at a great disadvantage.
As a matter OF fact the accepted
likeness OF the admiral Is after the
manner OF being an idealistic con
ception All are familiar with the
strong, clean-shayen face from which
deep expressive eyes look out under
a broad brow. The deep lines from
the nose TO the corners OF the mouth
are also characteristic Of the popular
portraits OF Columbus. Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with a gray beard? Yet it is more
than probable that he wore one
when he planted the banner OF
Spain on the shores OF the New
World

we have from those who knew him

many monuments to the respect and
honor in which they hold Columbus.
The custom Of preparing elfigies in
stone, so that the names and achieve
ments of a nations heroes may be
passed on to posterity, finds its or
igin in most ancient times. 1t is but
natural that this custom should have
been followed in the case of Colum-

to the discoverer in Italy, Spain and
France. and in nearly all of the
countries OF the new world.

opening, and the back like a deep seal
Top, is getting considerable attention,
this design being shown among the
three-quarter models. AS the style is
somewhat more dressy than the
longer coats with straight bottom, the
beetle-back model is made up in the
finer coatings, with silk Innings, or
else in two-toned plaid woods with
facing in the gayer color. The dres-
sier of the beetle coats, those of silk,
satin, poplin and lace and chiffon
combined are, of course, for the finest
wear, but in spite of the fact that the
wool ones are for practical use the
sleeves of these are rarely quite to the
wrist, and there are other very CO.
quettish details, huge buttons in the
lining color being among them.
If the bride-to-be expects to have
rather a useful travelling gown Of
cloth or serge she would do we'll to
try on one of these checked or plaid
wool coats in harmonizing colors, for
as part of the skirt would show the
coat color would need to match. For
home sewing one such model is shown
in the Illustration, which is of green
and black Scotch check with a plain
facing of the green. The coat is
slightly double-breasted and fastened
to the neck, where it is finished with
a military collar. When this is thrown
back, the lining forms a contrasting
collar and revers, but this part of the
coat is capable of different arrange
ment, II liked, as is shown by the
small view of the model which en-
ploys a separate goods for the collar
and cuffs. The sleeves are OF the
loose sort approved for the style, the
lining forming the cuffs, and the peck
cts are of the patch sort, which are so
easy for the home dressmaker to put
on.
If liked, this model could be used
for the coat of suit in rough WOOL
and 1t would be very handsome and
useful IL it were of black satin out
lined with silk braid or finished with
a putting of the same. The smarter
coat might need to have the sleeves
shortened little. for wrist-length
sleeves are rarely used for the smarter
wraps. The double-faced woods are

the new Columbus statue unveiled in
Washington on June 5. This marks
the first great memorial which the
United States government has erect
ed to Christopher Columbus.
There has long been a feeling that
this country has not had a really
worthy monument TO the man who is
primarily responsible for the exist
ence Of the nation.
The feeling took concrete shape
when, in 1906, Representative James
\. Goulden of New York introduced
bill appropriating the sum OF $780,
coo TO be used for a Columbus memo
rial. Congress passed the bill and II
was signed in 1907 by President
Roosevelt.
The design is a combination OF
fountain, shaft and statue.
The fountain is semi-circular, 70
feet wide and Go feet from front to
rear. The balustrade which half en-.
circles it bears the effigy of a heroic
lion at either extremity. The salient
feature OF the memorial is a splen'
did stone shaft surmounted by a
globe. Before this shaft. which rises
in the center OF the fountain circle
is a statue OF Columbus.
The globe which surmounts the
shaft indicates the contribution the
discovery of Columbus was to the
science of geography. This globe
is supported by four massive eagles

believe that sailors wore them for
protection.
The representations which We see
today of Columbus can nearly all be
traced back to an engraving called
the Paulus Joyius cut, which was
made from painting that has been
lost.
Even the lost painting was not an
original likeness, for it was painted
on what the lawyers would call
hearsay evidence" But as It was
executed some time in the early
years of the sixteenth century the
features may be taken as fairly cor
rect.
