Trimmings From Chinese skirts.


Chinese skirts in the original GER
tainiy possess as many varied uses as
the famous porker, whose only loss is
its squeal. The front and back panels
with their rich embroideries In Picking
stitch, make exquisite long sailor col
lars which will miraculously turn your
most commonplace frock into a veri-
table creation. The yards on yards
of two-toned Chinese blue embroidery
bapdings make trimming galore for a
stunning gown and hat. A striking
parasol in these days of unique ones,
is made from the skirts pleated and
embroidered sides, and an equally eff
fective piano lamp shade can be
evolved from the same. with the add
ton Of the panels.

Particularly Effective Touches May
Be Given to Draperies, Especially
If They Are of Cr%etonne.

If you have c%retonne draperies in
your guest room there are many at
tractive articles you can make to
add comfort and beauty to the room.
Purchase c%retonne to match, or, IT
this is impossible, a design showing
the same coloring,
Lovely bureau scarfs are fashioned
by cutting the cretonne the exact
dimensions of the bureau top. Cover
this with white ~marquisette and be-
tween the top and the china silk lining,
place one thickness Of cotton wadding.
Whipstitch the edges together and
finish them with a narrow edging OF
gold lace.
The marquisette softens the colors
Of the cretonne, producing a pastel
effect.
A rectangular sofa cushion can be
made of the same materials, and is
particularly beautiful when ornament
ed with a large fiat bow of ribbon in
one corner.
In rose designs the %cretonne is ex-
| tremely artistic when yelled with mar
quisette.
For the dressing table a long pin
cushion should be made to match.
Finish either end with a rosette OF
satin ribbon.
Frames for sewing stands can be.
purchased to match I'M wood, and it,
would be nice to supply your guest
room with one with a cretonne top to
match the %draperies.
Cover the cretonne with the mar
quisette and line it with china silk
Gather this with a heading to the
frame and finish each corner with a
bow of ribbon. The top hangs pocket
like from the frame and holds all the
articles necessary for mendlng. This
is a very useful article, and the we'll
appointed guest room should be sup
piled with sewing stand.

Fashionable CoIors.

This is the time of year when cor
ors change, just as do hats and gowns
Court blue is one of the latest. 1t is
a cross between electric and gend-
arme.
Taupe has shed its brown tinge and
has acquired the tint like elephant
gray.
One of the prettiest blues is blue
Wig, a deep and yet bright shade,
Shrimp is the favored pink.
A glorious red which looks extreme
ly we'll with white is called rouge
Venetian.
Chalk white is en- vogue.
Amaranth is a claret shade.
Caramel is another pretty edition
of brown.
Verdegris is one of the smartesti
greens.
Mimosa is q yellow that verges on
orange.
Petunia is the successor OF the
fuchsia medley, with the purple and
red tints predominating.

for | never saw a good looking gypsy
woman in the Albiacin; and / was
there several times.
The men, however, were fine, vii
famous looking fellows. They gener-
ally wore the air of retired or quies-
cent cutthroats and highway robbers.
They looked at once lazy and agile
and powerful. Their faces were hard
and destructive, and their eyes were
fierce. They seemed to have very much
the physical and mental makeup OF
the Spanish gentlemen who, in more
interesting times, used to send the
ears of captives to their friends, so
as to stimulate them in the matter OF
ransom.
To show that some of them now
and then went In for fathering grist in
the t~ime-honored manner, ]. must re-
late an incident that was told to me
by the English consul in Granada. It
seems that a year or so before a
gypsy Of a particularly engaging per-
sonality persuaded an Englishman to
hire him as a guide. This gypsy could
speak bad English with fiuency. and
he went with the Englishman in the
capacity Of monitor and general guide,
philosopher and friend. He explain
ed to him the wonders Of the Alham-
bra, and he told things that had hap
pened there, together with things that
had never happened there.
But n day there came a rift with

place outside Granada. and the gypsy
made a polite request to the effect
that the Englishman should lend hin
all the money had on him, and hii
watch and chain. But the obtuse Eng

polite request. The gypsy made
quick move for his knife. but the Eng

A little creek is often in the vicin-
ity of a camp site, and a handy cross
ing is not always found. II this creek
is not very wide, it is a simple mat
ter to throw two logs across 1t at M
desired point of crossing. Boys do
not require a railing on such a bridge
of course, but if girl visitors are x

railing such as is shown in Fig. Z.
| The end railing uprights should be
driven into the ground, and these and
a pair of stakes driven Into the
ground on the other side OF the log
ends should be spiked to the logs to

If your camp is located near a lake.
you will probably want a pier, n a
short one can be built on the plan OF

RURAL TEACHERS PAY SMALL
Average Pay Is Less Than That Re-
ceived by Street Laborers
in Cities.

The statisticians tell us that the av-
erage salary of the teachers of the
nation in the common schools is less
than $400 a year, and in the rural
school districts less than $500, the
Hon. David Franklin Houston, secre-
tary of agriculture, writes in Leslie's.
Illinois reports rural salaries ranging
from $3.50 to $500; Kansas, a salary OF
less than $3.50; Missouri, Mississippi
and Tennessee, one of less than $3.50;
Vermont, Maine and North Carolina,
one of less than 5000. In urban com
munities it ranges from $500 to 5000
to $1,000 or $4,000 or more. The an
nual compensation of rural teachers Is
less than that of street laborers in cit
les. less than that of bricklayers, plas-
terers, carpenters, planters and brake
men. and the superintendent OF Ala
bama reports that in that state 1t ID
less than the average earnings OF con-
victs.
Everywhere these teachers are
stranded in one room buildings, for
the most part ~unsightly, devoid OF the
ordinary comforts, lacking in facili-
ties, in ~unattractive and insan1tary
surroundings, they teach all grades
and hold 80 to IS or 40 recitations a
day for four, five, six or sever months
a year., and do this without advice or
assistance from competent supervisors
or inspectors. Illinois reports 1O,600
one teacher schools, 1,150 of them hav-
ing less than Is pupils; Kansas, 1880,
425 with less than Is pupils, 800
with less than 10; North Carolina,
more than 1000 out of a total of 5,4O0;
Indiana reports .1,085 schools with
less than Is pupils, and 1000 with less
than 20; Missouri, 7O5 with less than
~, and $500 with less than 20.

Heels Very Hiah.

In the South of France, at fashion
able Monte Carlo, Cannes and Nice,
one sees the most grotesque sights
which are the direct result Of high
heels combined with tight skirts. How.
some of the votaries of that sad ANAL
gamation manage to walk at all, 1t 10
difficult to say. Their best effort is
only a feeble and unsafe totter, for
the Louis heel, when e~xaggeratedly

can hang cooked food at the right

The camp crane shown in Fig. 3

Only one traveller remained upon

WHEN YOU GO CAMPING.

The handy boy seldom remains a
~tenderfoot long upon his first camp
ing trip, because having learned re-
sourcefulness he is quick to adapt
himself to his new surroundings, ana
is generally able to find his way out
of difficulties and to make a pretty
good guess as to how things In gen
eral should be done. For this rea-
son, things usually go along more
smoothly for the handy boy than for
the boy who never had to make him
self useful at home, and has been al
lowed to shirk responsibilities.
Camping is a splendid experience
for all boys, and the less equipment
they can get along with the more
practical good they will gain from the
trip. With careful planning, the
amount of equipment can always be
cut down to a minimum. Even II the
samp is to be in the back yard, or a
Nearby lot, the rule to "go light
should be observed.
The handy boy will think of lots Of
.hings to make while in camp, and ne
should not fail to take along al
axe, hammer, saw, ~jack-knife, nails O.

spikes-tacks, screw-hooks, screw

for tools and working materials. Nails
hooks and staples may be carried il
tin cans, but they will pack with les
waste space in small bags made o
canvas denim or burlap. These bag
should be provided with draw
strings.
Unless a small sheet-iron cam

Death Made beautiful.

George w. Perkins. the corporation
expert, began life as an insurance
agent. So good was he at the game
that one of his friends described him
In these words:
George could convince you that
the grave was the biggest financial
institution, the biggest dividend
payer and the biggest gold mine IN
the world. He could build up In
your mind the idea that each day
YOU spend on earth was time thrown
away. He could convince you that
the only real feat for you to per-
form was to die, be buried, and leave
your wife and children to roll re-
s~plen6ent in wealth he and his com
pany kept waiting for them."-Popu-
