Do Not AlIow Chantilly
Lace to Remain Unused

In the cedar chests belonging to many
who read this page are preserved the
chantiily lace shswls and scarfs that
belonged to honored ancestors. Why
allow them to lie unused through the
years when you can utilize them in many
ways without destroying their beauty OF
cutting the lace?
For instance, a lovely mantelet can be
easily fashioned from shawl OF the
three-cornered variety in this manner:
Carefully line the lace with black. gray
or white chiffon or mousseline de sole,
sIipstitching 1t to the lace by hand,
Now place the shawl over the shoulders
and allow the point 10 fall nearly to the
knees. and draw the two, pointed ends
in front to a uniform length below tho
waist line The kimono-like sleeves are
formed by joining the edges OF the lace
beneath the arms, and the fuliness is con-
fined about the waist with a narrow
girdIe of twisted black ribbon velvet,
which serves to fasten the coat in front-

A F..cinatinE Can.

"oh, what dream Of a cap, Moliy!"
exclaimed a friend Of an engaged girl
ecstatically, as che held the dainty trifie
between reverent fingers. And truly 1t
was beautiful thing OF palest azure
chiffon over pink silk. II was made Of
a circle of the chiffon lined with soft
pink silk, which in turn was lined with
thin white muslin to protect the silk
from the hair. A casing ran around the
entire cap about two inches from the
edge. for the elastic which held the cap
close to the head.
The elastic caused a shirring and made
a ruffie or frill about two inches deep
of the blue chiffon about the face. The
pink silk lining reached only to the edge
of the casing-in fact. forming part of
the casing itself. Reaching from the
casing TO the edge of the blue chiffon
frill, however, was another frill of pale
pink chiffon underneath. About the cap
was a wreath of tiny pink chiffon rose
buds with green chiffon foliage. At the
exact center back was q butterfly bow
of blue chiffon. about five inches from
loop to loop. and having streamers of
the chiffon In the same color. The stream
ers were six and four inches long re-
spectively and were double. Each end
was gathered in and weighted down with
a somewhat larger pink chiffon rosebud
and just a touch of green foliage. On
the top Of the cap was embroidered a
cluster of rosebuds and foliage. 1t was
a dream indeedr

When legislation was enacted provid-
ing for the physical valuation Of rail-
ways. the commission selected Judge

time, adequate attention TO the INFINITE

WOMAN AND THE HOME

WOMEN FAT FOR
WANT OF ExERC RCISE

No wonder American women are get
ting fat.
At least they must be getting fat. for
the wife of a prominent New York
broker recently declared she was
ashamed Of her felIow-countrywoman's
'.too. too, solid fiesh-"
Truth to tell. We had thought that
there wasn't q fat woman in the land
under sixty years of age. Surely our
young girls are almost emaciated. and.
as for their elders. their figiEres are 50
giriish. they can hardly be distinguished
from the others.
The fair critic, however, says there
are fat women and explains why:
There is reason" she says. Our
girls take no exercise at all. even In a
place where exercise should be the one
great luxury When they are going for
q swim Gas they call IT'D. they expect a
young man TO come for them with q
machine to take them to the sea.
Even then they make only casual ac-
quaintance with the water-just How
a you dor and 'Good-bye. II they
wet their toes they are alarmed. To
dsmpen the wrinkles In their bathing
suits would be q tragedy.
"Some Of them play an occasional game
OF tennis. but very few exert themselves.
1t Is all wrong. They should walk.
swim, play, and ride horseback. That
is what do. and what I would advise
all American women to do

They MANAGED TO
MAKE ROOM FOR SON
LOST TWENTY YEARS

GLASGOW, KY, - He had been
away for 90 years, sowing his fortune
in Alaska, and his father and mother
Mr. and Mrs. James Huffman-were
sitting in a room of their home
near here last night discussing him
and wondering if he would ever
come back.
Then there was a knock at the
door and Mr.. Huffman opened it to
see a dusty traveller who said he
was tired and was lacking lodging
for the night. Mr.. Huffman thought
he could do nothing for him, as
there were visitors in the house, and
the traveller turned to go.
But Mrs. Huffman could not see
the man turned out into the night,
so called him and "reckoned they
could manage somehow"
So they led him into the hall
and under the swinging lamp the
aged couple recognized their son,
