SON, STRANGER TO MOTHER
WON'T COME TO HER trial

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Feb. PIT
have a son whom I love-" said Mrs.
Catherine Appelbaum, when first she
sobbed out the story of her dead hus-
bands cruelty
But the little woman, accused of
murder held in prison in a strange
city, with no hands outstretched to-
ward her support except those of her
paid retainers, is a mother to be pitied.
Her mothers love is not returned by
any filial affection. The throng which
will turn critical, curious eyes to her
when she comes to trial for her life will
not be made more bearabe by the pres
ence of the son she loves.
Claude Henderson, the son, will not

He is in Montgomery, but probably will

The boy is the son of her first mar
rage. with C. D. Henderson, of Brew
ton. When she was less than 20 years
old. he was born. but the pride of
motherhood, with all its tender minis
trations, was not long to be vouch-
safed the girl wife. Henderson and
she drifted apart, and the child went
out of her life.
After seventeen years, she says she
loves him. And he, approaching man
hood and strength, finds that the moth
err who has been a name and a dim
figure to him, the mother of whom he
has not been too proud, is in the grav-
est of difficulties and is unprotected eX-
cept for the sympathy that naturally
goes out to woman.
But Claude Henderson probably will
not go to Atlanta voluntarily. He has
never known his mother. He was taken
from her virtually child in arms. He
knew that she married one man after
his father. and then another. Every
incident of her life, it seemed, but
widened the gap between them.
The mother remembers and still
loves The boy has forgotten, or may
be is trying to forget, his mother of the
checkered existence.

WHY SERVE CAKE WITH TEA7
Writer criticizes Hostesses for Their
Penchant for Serving Inappro-
pirate Combinations.

Anyone who serves waters with tea
is lacking in gastronomic imagination.
Drinking tea and eating a wafer is
like having a picnic in the woodshed,
or wearing an Easter hat with go
loshes, declares a writer in the Allan
tic Monthly.
1t is a hueless compromise where
there might be vivid delight Many
otherwise excellent hostesses fail to
perceive the relation between after.
noon tea and it's edible accompani-
ments. They will serve you a hard,
obstinate biscuit that you break, red
faced, on the rim of your saucer, send
ing, as likely as not, your cup bounc-
ing over the other edge, and your tea
splashing into your neighbor's lap;
or they generously provide you with a
huge, gelatinous cube of cake that ad-
heres to your saucer, and renders you
temporarily web-fingered, the while
you attempt to formulate an epigram
on Henry James, or discourse glibly
as to why women like men.
There is yet another type of hostess
who passes with your tea a dribbling
sandwich, oozing salad dressing at
every pore and containing, half con-
cealed, a malicious, indivisible lettuce
leaf. People who thus fail of main
tanning the fitness of things at the
tea hour have no genuine apprecia-
tion of the drink which they dispense

PRETTY IDEA FOR MILLINERY
Hand-Painted Effects Are Among the
Seasons Novelties and Have
Been Received With Favor.

The application of analine dyes in
painted effects to millinery OF
the season is an entirely new DEVICE
and the result is UNIQUE. White os-
trich feathers, long and thick, are dec
GRATED in flower designs in natural
colors. The design runs upward with

Another fancy is to paint the straw
hat directly, just in the design the
flowers would make, or fruit, were it
placed upon it. On the brim or on
the crown, or partly under the brim,
or on it's upturned edge. Here the
pattern is traced in brilliant tones.
White straw and natural straw are
the only shades so decorated. Any
surface or quality may be used. Gar
den hats are really pretty done in this
way. A design of cherries in red with
green leaves and gray twigs of stems
is, for instance, especially odd.

Upward Strokes of Beauty,

When my little girl was born the
old colored nurse l got for her told
me that if | brushed her hair the
wrong way it would make it curly,
writes a correspondent of the Pitts.
burgh Dispatch. Whether that was
what did it or not / do not know, but
her hair, while it never really curled,
has always stood away from her head
in a soft, pretty way. Mammy's in
structions set me to thinking. I real
lied that all faces fall as they grew
old, and l wondered why it wouldn't
be wise to wash and dry the face up
instead Of down. / not only taught
my little daughter to do this-she al
ways wipes upward-but I began on
myself. Today, at forty-seven, not a
muscle in my face has fallen; there
are no droopy lines in it, and no sag
ging shows at my chin. My eyelashes
are always noticed because they curl
upward so prettily (they didn't before
l began the upward treatment), and
my daughters are just like them.

CLEAN LACE AT HOME
NOT NECESSARY TO SEND FAB
RIG TO PROFESSIONAL.
Simple Fundamental Rules Kept in
the Memory Is the Only Secret
Sunshine and Fresh Air the
TWO Main Requisites.

In this day when lace is in it's ele-
ment the professional cleaners must
be reaping fortune simply from the
lace frocks and blouses, petticoats,
hats and neckwear that are brought
to them to be made spotless. For
most women are afraid of lace. They
will tackle gloves and shoes, velvet,
silk and chiffon whit will, but they
balk at lace.
In reality lace is no more difficult
to clean than any other fabric, if you
know how to do it. But, of course, to
be successful as a lace cleaner you
must take the trouble to learn some
thing about the various methods of
cleaning and drying.
Wash net, which is much used for
blouses and frocks, can be washed and
dried and ironed just like any other
cotton fabric. 1t should be carefully
ironed, of course, so that it will not
be pulled out of shape. There is little
danger Of stretching it; in fact, it
shrinks a little. But as it must be
ironed when fairly damp in order to
come out fresh and new looking, it
is easily pulled out of shape in the
ironing
The secret of washing lace success
fully is to get most of the dirt and
dust and CRIME out of it with as little
rubbing as possible. First shake the
lace in the open air and give it a
bath in the sunshine. Sunshine, by
the way, and fresh air are friends of
lace, just as dust and darkness are its
worst enemies. Then, after summing
and airing it, soak it in lukewarm
soapsuds For this suds dissolve shaw
ings of CASTLE or other white soap in
boiling water, and to every gallon of
water add two tablespoonfuls of
borax
If the piece of lace to be cleaned is
small, the easiest way to clean it is
to put it in a big fruit jar, cover it
with soapsuds and let it stand for
four or five hours. In the days when
coal fires were the rule, even in sum-
mer kitchens, good results were had
from putting the jar containing lace
anu Suuo III q SoOl o'CIl a. hieoAAt eShsi
leaving it there until morning. The
heat of the oven kept the temperature
of the soapy water at low heat.
which was effective in extracting
every grain of dust and dirt.
While the lace is soaking shake the
jar from time to time. If it is very
soiled change the soapy water two or
three times Of course if the piece of
lace is too big to get in a jar, soak
it in a big granite saucepan or tub.
When the lace seems clean rinse it
in three or four changes of clear luke
warm water. Don't rub the lace when
it is in the soapy water and don't
wiring it when it is in the clear water.
To get rid of the water simply press
the lace firmly between the hands, or
press it between two clean bath tow
els When it is moderately free from
water pin it, right side up, on an iron
ing board
If it is necessary to stiffen the lace,
dissolve a little gum arabic in water
and add this to the last rinsing water.
In the case of pure white lace little
blueing should also be added to this
water

Best Use of Scent.

The best way to use scent. if you
care to use it at all, is to put deli
cate extract in an atomizer and spray
yourself with it. Strong scents are
offensive and the most subtle and
elusive odor is that obtained from a
generous use of sachet bags laid
among ones lingerie. in the drawers
with ones handkerchiefs, gloves and
wells. and possibly fastened in the
front of ones stays or in some inner
fold of the bodice. One can buy many
different kinds of powder for sachets.
