NE Of the cutest household con-

stores of Washington are the
ironing board sets which are being
shown at the department store at
Eighth and Market space. They con-
sist Of woolen pad and an outside
cover, which may be placed on the IRON

pad and cover are fitted with snap
fasteners, and when one wishes to re-
move the outside cover and launder it
there will be no necessity of pulling out
a number of rusty tacks, and replacing
them after the cover has been washed.
The price Of these sets is 70 cents, and
they come in several sizes.

The Lash Of Circumstance
Barbara Of the Shows h.

From above came first a strange cry
unlike any sound they had ever heard
before from the throat of man, fowl or
beast, quavering yet sharp and in
sistent bearing the notes OF both APP
peal and threat as though the thing
that uttered 1t knew not what his next
act should be and In his indecision ut
tered the double note. And while those
below were still staring open mouthed
and speeches. before the oncoming
of this new mystery, there came
rush as OF mighty wings, tanning OF
the air that swept their faces, while
from out OF the darkness there set
tied before them a monstrous shape
that rooted them in their tracks and
caused every hair upon their heads TO
prick and pull. Manlike of head and
limbs, yet manlike in such a way as no
mortal eye had ever seen before, with
huge bullying eyes, cavernous mouth
hung with loosely tapping lips, thin
arms and legs that seemed to be made
of cords instead of flesh and muscle
and his reddish body loosely hung
about by strange skin, he was more
the fantastic apparition Of delirium
than any creature known to man since
the grotesque flying shapes of prehis-
toric ages. And more marvellous than
all else, attached to his shoulders by
huge brachial muscles that ran down
ward to his hips were a great pair OF
batlike wings with a spread OF full
thirty feet, and with these now fully
extended he crouched before them in
the attitude of a bird just alighting.
Slowly he scanned them, his great
eyes glowing luminously in the dusk.
his broad mouth working Enthusiastically
and his head craned forward as
though trying to read in their faces
what manner of creatures they were,
and whether his next movement
should be one of friendship, antagon.
ism or fight. Then his eyes settled
upon Doris, who now paralyzed by a
terror infinitely greater than had pos
sessed her at the approach OF the hos
tile world, could only stare at the
monster like one chained to the spot.
Then slowly he raised one long arm
until its index finger pointed at the
ornament which she held in her hand.
and with strange croaking sound
and a curious -birdlike hop he came
straight towards her.

From the first picture you will be able to get
a very clear idea OF the Mummy at its best
A wide piece Of the material, or even a scarf
matching the under gown, is folded about the
body, with the arms held against the body from
the elbows up. This can be done for an even

to remember is that the wearer--I might almost
say the victim-will not be able to raise her
arms after the sleeves are adjusted.
