be difficult to overcome. So every eff

to acquaint the thousands of men and

that the Locke Shoe company, which
does wholesale business through tine
state, has refused to unionize its two
retail stores in Wheeling.

The sixth annual convention of the
West Virginia State Federation OF La
Dor was held in Charleston last week,
beginning Monday morning, and end
ing Thursday. It is believed that the
session marks new era in the or
ganized Labor movement of the state,
and that the movement will go for
ward now at vastly accelerated pace.
A complete list of new officers was
elected, and all promise to do their
utmost to advance the interests of the
body in the coming year, and already
j. L. Pauley, the new secretary, has
taken hold of the work in a manner
that speaks volumns for his activity
and earnest intentions.

unions of the state were generally dis
eheartened over the work of the Fed
Grafton during the past year, there
was good attendance of delegates,
most of them being sent by locals in

DAY OF WASHABLE" GLOVE
Matter Of Considerable Moment to the
Woman Who Is Properly
Fastidious.

In this day of the fastidious woman,
accessories that may be made immacu-
late with small trouble and little time
are in high favor. This means. OF
course, that gloves that are washable
have a large following, and it is not
surprising that they have.
From England come the soft. fine,
white doeskins. gloves Of exquisite
softness and fine texture, with the
feel of velvet and the unusual quail.
fication of washing like cotton. Soap
and water does them no harm, and
they emerge from the cleansing as
fresh as new. These doeskin gloves
come in the practical one and two but
ton lengths, as well as the longer
elbow length sleeves.
Mocha gloves also come in this
washable category. but make sure that
you get. the washable" kind, and ask
the clerk before the transaction is
completed. YOU may have these in
white or the pretty natural color.
Chamois gloves, OF course, every
woman knows about, and they are al
ways more or less in fashion-rather
more this season. These too are in
white or natural If you wish. And not
only do they come in the short lengths
with one or two large pearl buttons
for fastening, and the longer lengths.
but there is also a strap wrist style

EVER POPULAR FRENCH KNOT
Nothing More Effective in Embroidery
Work and Comparatively Eas-
lily Executed.

French knots are SO easily executed
that a simple description OF them Is all
that will be required. They are gener-
ally used to form the center of roses
and daisies. the stitches being made
quite close together in such case, to
create a solid center, and when EN-
ployed simply to fill up spaces in large
leaves they are usually scattered con-
siderably. The size Of the knot is reg
ulated by the space ito be filled, in
dividual fancy, or the floss used. The
thread is fastened on the wrong side of
the work with a very small knot that
is afterward cut off. as two small
stitches taken yery close together
serve to secure the end Of the floss.
The needle is then inserted from the
under side of the fabric and the thread
drawn through its entire length. With
the left hand hold the fabric and the
thread at the same time, catchinf
the fabric and holding 1t taut between
the thumb and forefinger. Hold the
needle in the right hand and slip 1t be-
meath the thread. giving it three or
four twists that will throw the thread
over the needle three or Jour times,
out without loosening the hold on the
thread. Continue holding h thread
tightly and pull the needle backwards
to tho point where it was originally
drawn through and insert 1t again as
close as may be to the same point,
still holding the thread firmly, and
push it through the fabric to be drawn
out on the other side. This will u
the, stitches to be held firmly IN one
side and slightly loose on the other,
but the effect is very pretty. Never
allow the stitches to be loose enough
to De mussy and do not permit them to
be drawn back through the hole made
by the needle.

the seasons novelty in blouse acces-
sories. Indeed, odd girdles and sashes
have played In important part this
year in the s%artorial world.
With all the absorbing interest there
Is in novelty trimmings and elaborate
decorative designs, it is interesting to
note that many of the prettiest blouse
models show the utmost simplicity.
Much of their effect is, Of course, due
to beauty Of material which soft drap-
ings and graceful lines show up to
the best advantage, but something
also is to be accredited to the fact
that a contrast is always appreciated.
An effectively simple model is here
sketched. 1t is developed in ivory
white Chinese crepe, which washes
beautifully. The front sleeves and
back are attached by hemstitched
perling to a deep shoulder yoke that
has its orner caught together under
the arms. The sleeve is gathered into
a deep cuff that is finished with a
deep plated rufle of self-material and
trimmed with a dull blue embroidered
button and loop on the upper edge.
The button and loop arrangement is
repeated on opposite sides of the
cross-over blouse fronts just over the
belt. A small yoke with an attached
low collar of shadow lace fills In the
V-shaped space at the neck.

All-black hats are much preferred
by the smartly gowned woman.
Dresses of lace and net often have

The surplice line for the neck on

Black and white hemp hats have
plain satin rowns and big tuile bows.
White and flesh color are most used
for crepe de chine waists just now.
White embroidered waistcoats are
correct with black satin coats and
skirts.
Vivid yellows continue to be very
fashionable for evening gowns and
wraps.
jacquard figures are a delightful or
~namentation for ~piece-dyed cotton
crepes.
All lingerie garments continue very
sheer and close fitting, the trimmings
perfectly fat, to accord with the de-
mand for a supple, slender figure.
Rose and black, double-faced, are
the colors oftenest chosen for the
sashes of white, wolfe dresses. Pale
yellow voi1es have rose or copper
color.

FATS

There Are Many Ways of Breaking

The end of the breeding season
seems to be the appointed time for
hens to get broody. Earlier In the
year when their services would have
been most welcome great difficulty
was experienced in finding sufficient
to sit on the desired number Of eggs.
August is too late for the utilizing of
their broodiness, unless a few duck
eggs be set under some Of them. At
his time, too, the scarcity of egg
makes 1t the desire of all poultry
keepers to break up their "broodies"
and have them laying again as coon an
possible.
There are many ways OF breaking
hens Of broodiness, and the more bar
barous ones such as tying the hen up
by one leg, throwing cold water over
her, or making her stand In water
should be forgotten and practiced no
longer. The same and better results
can be obtained by human meth
