Charming Things
In Linens

NOR the past year there has been
perfect craze for lovely but fragile
embroidery on transparent materials
for home decoration. This fall, how
ever. the newest ideas in this direction
for general use are either in white,
gray or a somewhat dark brownish
shade Of heavy linen worked in de-
signs wrought in coarse colored thread
in many hues Often these pieces have
foundation, or, rather background,
done in light stitches in a single tint
almost covering the pattern.
Here Is one of the newest designs.
Make a mental picture. if possible, OF
round table center in white linen
with a frame and band solidly covered
with light scrolls in two or three dark
shades of blue describing irregular
shields in q haphazard, artistic way.
Amid this severe foundation are in
laid singly large stars, wild roses. ETC.,
about three inches apart, the outline
being emphasized with needle etch-
ing in pink or lemon or any bright
contrasting color, which charmingly
sets off the white linen foundation and
the deep blue of the frame device.
On the other hand. gay wreaths
! sprays and tufts of field or garden
flowers in natural tints done in cross
stitch appear on tea cozies sideboard
| cloths, etc, forming slight relief to q
| background of close cross stitches in a
! striking shade.
A number of attractive motifs for
this kind Of marqueterle style are sold
ready stamped in blue with wee
! squares and trellisWork.
A few of the more delicate chair
backs in snowy white linen, composed
of two or three squares. are also en-
| livened in the center with a solid
| wreath of blossoms in quaint old fash
toned tones, the remainder of the linen
being left unadorned, with the excep-
ton of a quarter of an inch frame
worked in red or yellow cotton.
Cluny, torchon or crochet lace unites
the large squares and surrounds the
edges. Occasionally a fringe falls at
the sides, while a lace edging futters
at the top and bottom.

HELPS IN HOUSEW0RK

A NEW method OF removing ink
4 stains on linen is as follows Cut
a ripe tomato in half and rub the ink
stain vigorously with the tomato The
stain will disappear entirely when the
linen is washed.
Large papers or leaves OF books that
have become soiled from much ham
ding can be put INTO perfect condition
If the loose dirt is first rubbed off with
a piece of bread, then cover the spots
with blotting paper made damp with
oxalic acid In solution Lastly pass a
hot iron over the blotting paper until IT
dries.
To remove deep set creases in the
papers or the leaves OF book put be-
tween two pieces of white blotting pa

dampened and press with a warm iron

otter, which shades from n deep glossy
brown TO a warm chestnut.
Skunk win be more fashionable than
ever. and, alas, the price OF skunk
keeps on mounting with steady and
discouraging persistency. Five years
ago it could be had for a song. Then
1t was known as imitation sable. Now
skunk has reputation of its own and
pretends to initiate nothing. 1t is the
accepted pelt for trimming sealskin
wraps and handsome gowns, and even
a tiny edge Of it along a tunic costs a
substantial sum.
One of the prettiest fur sets shown
so far this season is in the truly ami

has charming color scheme, a soften

tains the animal shape in short neck

and the rich fluffy tail fall over the
shoulder, the white edges of the fur
making q softness against the face and
eliminating any tendency to hardening

the effect of the necltpiece, for 1t is
merely a big plain pillow shape. show
ing off the beauty Of the fur to the ut
most advantage, the white fluffy part
at the edges taking the place of any
velvet trimming.
Since this set is from an exclusive
furrier it is an argument in favor of
the high style Of the animal scarf and
the big pillow mutf, but this detail is
to be decided by the individual taste
of the woman of fashion since even
the makers of styles cannot dictate
what is to be the most becoming, and
the woman who asserts her individual

Fur trimming in tiny but artistic

THE SECRET OF HOW TO
COOK RICE
.-s-,-.~."s".".-.-.-.".-.-.-.".

THE secret OF properly cooked rice
lies in an abundance of rapidly
boiling water. After washing the un-
cooked rice SO that the last rinsng
water is not even cloudy the grains
should be sprinkled into kettle of
rapidly boiling water the rice being
added so gradually that the violent
ebullition Of the water will not be
checked. There must be plenty OF wa
ter and every grain OF rice must be
fairly dancing up and down Another
bit of rice cooking information worth
knowing is that rubbing the top of the
kettle with butter or lard will keep the
rice from boiling over. The water Will
never rise beyond the rim. This does
away with watching.
When the rice is tender turn into a
coarse sieve hold under the hot water
faucet and let couple of quarts Of
water pass through. Add salt, place

For blond hair the pale colored tor
toise shell gives an attractive effect,
while red gold locks look best when
done up with cut jet pins or those
made of dark tortoise shell incrusted
with little jet facets.
The use of paste pins in the daytime
cannot be condemned too strongly.
These pins always look tawdry in the
daylight. and they are only worn I'M

few seasons ago all the pretty women
OF uncertain age had their hair colored

time that this tint made middle aged
faces look youthful Never was there
greater mistake than this. Why,
this henna tint can make even young

have seen forty or fifty summers? AS
a matter of fact the older a woman
looks the more vigorously opposed she
should be toward artificial aids to

Il PROMINENT woman OF this up
~ and doing age said recently,
"A For a woman to curl her hair
Il - is to deceive the world by
posing for something she is not"
With all due respect for the mental
viewpoint of this very moral lady, there
must be kink somewhere in her sar-
torial cosmos for such an idea to find
a resting place there. 1t were far bet
ter, 1t seems to me, for the average
straight locks to assume a curly virtue,
IL she has it not, than to lie limp and
stringy, au naturel. AS a rule, the wo-
men who are most unconscious of their
own self carelessness are those who
are ready with their criticisms of
others, and 1t Is only very rude
shock that will bring to their attention
the fact that they are more in need of
criticism than are those whom they
criticise.

Clover meadows are ready for the
knife and in some instances are being
cut, and while the drought of a few
weeks since caused it to head out
close to the ground, is thick and lux

to the average. Wheat is ripening
fast and farmers from all over the
county report the prospects as being
good, the stand is good, the mesh
seems to be we'll filled and good yield
is promised. Timothy meadows are
doing well and with favorable weather
from now on, good crop of hay may
be expected. More favorable weather
for tobacco was never known and all of
it is about set, both those setting by
hand and by machine reporting a good
stand and the young plants starting off
nicely. Oats is keeping stride with
the other cereals and gives promise of
good yield. Corn is thriving, many
farmers being engaged with their
second blowing. Under the influence
of the recent copious showers and the
warm sunshine following, grass is
growing rapidly and in consequence

The Supreme Court of the United
States decided on last Monday thet a
state has the right to fix reasonable
rate for freight transported over an
interstate road, provided that rate be
not coniscatory. The case at bar was
from Minnesota, but Kentucky has a
case before the court which will come
up for hearing this week which is al
most precisely similar to the Minnesota
case, and it is thought that this state
will be sure to win their case. The
decision was practically unanimous,
only Justice McKenna ''concurring" to
the opinion. Under the ruling state
has the right to regulate intrastate rates
on interstate roads until the National
Congress intervenes and regulates the
field exclusively.
This is question that has been fought
stolidly before the various courts of the
land for many years, and the climax
was reached when the above court
rendered its decision which is far
reaching and means much to the various
states who have been having troubles
with railroads over exorbitant freight,
rates, chief among which is Kentucky.
