Steel Trust Treason.

William E. Corey. former president
Of the steel trust has testified that
his corporation took part in an inter.
national pool to boost the price Of ar
NOR plate for battleships.
At the very time the steel trust was
keeping lobby to wheedle tariff sub.
sides out Of the United States gov
ernment it was combining with for
eign corporations to cheat that gov
ernmeat In materials for the national
defense.
Any less liberal constitution than
that of the United States would call
such work treason-and would not be
far wrong.
The steel trust plays beggar or
highwayman with equal readiness. 1t
has aad plenty of practice in both
roles.

MAKE FlLET. LACE AT HOME
Few Materials and Little Skill Needed
for the Construction of This Most
Effective Trimming.

"Filet lace is undoubtedly the fash
ion, end deservedly so, for it is one OF
the st effective Of all laces," says
an article in Harper's Bazaar. with
a little patience and the expenditure
OF a very small amount Of time every
woman, even she who never could
learn to sew can have lovely tilet, for
it is very easy to make.
For making filet lace the only tools
needed are good linen thread,
frame on which to stretch the net, and
a dull needle. always buy my ground
net, for, though not difficult to make, 1t
is tedious work. It is simply a minia-
ture fish or tennis net. The only diff
ficulty is to keep the distances be-
tween the knots even, but this soon
comes with practice. However, when
perfect handmade net can be bought
for very little abroad, 1t hardly seems
worth while to make It. I send to the
Galerie Lafayette, in Paris, for what I
use. Net four inches wide costs only
SIS cents a meter, and squares suitable
for setting in linen cost from five cents
each up, according to the size. In the
department stores In New York 6let
lace four inches wide with q mediocre
design costs from four to six dollars
q yard. When one can easily make 1t
with beautiful design for few cents
yard it seems q waste not to do So"

Trimming for Small Hats.

Soft and airy are the crowns OF hats
covered with maline or crepe. Some
times the material extends over the
entire shape It may be placed in folds
or gathers, over both the crown and
upper brim Sometimes portion OF
the side crown and upper brim are
covered with maline or crepe, and the
top Of the crown and under brim are
of milan or hemp.
Printed crepes in oriental colors are
effectively used In the latter form.
Pipings of a contrasting color usually
head the top Of the side crown cover
ing. Maline or crepe in a contrasting
color is fitted over the upper portion
of many small shapes Of milan, hemp,
hair or leghorn, and sometimes this
soft material is made in a loose puff
ed effect, giving the appearance OF
soft tam-o o-shanter.

Hairpins Small.

The wearing of the hair in simple,
close styles has put the big, cumber-
some hairpin that has been favorite
for a long time quite out of favor. The
new hairpins are all small and Of
curved shape. so that they fit the head
curves.
The combs that are being worn are
very light Of weight and all Of them
have narrow rolled tops. A narrow
comb straight across the head near
the brow is favorite.
Amber and semi-amber combs, pins
and barettes are IN the best of taste.
The light ambers are being worn by
the brunette as well as the blonde.

Roll the ribbon around until a center
Is formed and sew firmly in position.
Swirl the remainder of the ribbon

Killed by Taxi in Aberdeen.

The following clipping from an Aber-
at 1874 Holburn street, was crossing that
Scotch residents of Barre:
A taxicab accident, attended with
fatal results, occurred in Aberdeen on
Saturday afternoon.
Mrs. M'Pherson (74), widow, residing
at 1874 Holburn tsreet, was crossing that
thoroughfare about five o'clock in the
afternoon, when she stepped in front of
taxi-cab belonging to the Aberdeen
riding academy, and driven by Walter
Cruckshank, taxi-cab driver, 10 Har-
tington road. She was knocked down
and rendered unconscious. She was
taken in the taxi-cab to the Royal in
Urinary, where she died shortly after 10
o'clock at night.
From descriptions of the accident by
witnesses, it seems that Mrs. MCPHERSON
came out of her house, and the driver of
the taxi observing her intention to cross
the street, slowed up, but went on again
on seeing her stop. Unfortunately, how
ever, she left the pavement suddenly,
and stepped in front of the cab, with the
lamentable result stated.
