| ADJOINING THE GUEST ROOM
Particularly Effective Touches May
Be Given to Draperies, Especially
If They Are of Cretonne.

II you have cretonne draperies in
your guest room there are many at
tractive articles you can make to
add comfort and beauty to the room.
Purchase cretonne to match, or, II
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 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 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 any wood, and 1t
would be nice to supply your guest
room with one with cretonne top to
match the draperies.
Cover the cretonne with the mar.
quisette and lire 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 mending. This
is a very useful article, and the well.
appointed guest room should be sup
piled with sewing stand.

1t was about the middle of the last
century that the American windmill
drove the old style Dutch mill com
pletely out of business, both in this
country as we'll as in all the otheg
countries of the world. Now, how
ever good, the Dutch windmill has
indeed come into it's own, and that.
too, right here in the United States OF
America, where, a hundred years Oh
so ago, was invented a mill that out.

The giant Dutch windmill, the
largest windmill in the world, has re.
Gently been completed in Golden Gate
park, San Francisco. And not ex.

the windmill, there is not another OF
it's size anywhere. This mill cost $25,.

Connecting Link Between Opposite MentaIities

The women themselves are as op-
posite mentally, as the atmosphere OF
the room they live in. One studies.
The other does fancy work. One
wishes with all her soul that she
was capable of doing great deeds.
The other is serenely satisfied to let
things go as they are.
And they are such good friends that
they take tea with each other, eve
nings. and have friendly powwows
that both honestly enjoy.
None of the other boarders In the
house could understand the friendli-
ness between two such apparently
uncongenial women until third wo-
man ferreted out what she believed
to be the cause.
Working on the principle OF that
early wise man, that all humanity Is
bound in a common chain, with its
connecting link visible to any eye
sharp enough to find it, she looked
the two rooms over. And she found
them alike in one small detail. On
the wall above each bed hung small
crucif1x.
1t was the link between.

RICHEST INDIAN

The richest American Indian In the
world has been discovered. He Is Loun
c. Hill, fifty-three years old, full
blood" Choctaw, and his claim to be-
ing the Rockefeller of red men is
based upon his possessions, valued at
Sc, 600, 900.
Hill lives in Harrington, Tex. In fact,
he owns the town, but it is only a
mite in the midst of his vast estate,
which extends to Brownsville, 25 miles
away. He has eleven motor cars to
make the run from his residence in
Harlingen to his business Office In
BROWNSVILLE
This Indian Croesus is living tes-
timonial that members of his race
need not be wards of Uncle Sam UNI
less they so choose. He started his
empire on capital of 5000, and has
never received anything from the gov
eminent. Like SO many of his white
brother" captains of industry. he is a
self-made man in every sense of the
word. Not only is he a shrewd busi-
ness man, but clever lawyer as we'll,
practicing his profession in addition
to overseeing his big ranch.
Hill was one of the chief factors in
blazing the trail tor civilization
through the Rio Grande valley, but of
his early experiences he refuses to
talk, contenting himself with shrug-
ging his broad shoulders, about which
his long black hair falls in most pic
tureSque manner.
There is one thing, however, about
which he will never hesitate to talk,
and that is the price of sugar. AS a
sugar grower and refiner that is of
much more interest to him than the
fact that he has risen so far above the
members of his own race, and even
above the great majority Of the con
quering white men,"

CHESTNUTS AS FOOD

The absence of Indian corn as an
article of diet among the poorer class
es in France is, to certain extent,
replaced by the popular chestnut.
The ordinary way of cooking them,
says a consular report, is to remove
he outside she'll, blanch them; then a
vet cloth is placed in an earthen pot,
which is almost filled with raw chest
1uts They are covered with a Sec
ond wet cloth, and put on the fire to
steam Hot steamed chestnuts are
carried around the city streets in bas-
kets or pals. The majority of the
working people, who usually have no
ire early in the morning, eat them for
heir breakfast, with or without milk.
Physicians state that, as an article OF
,ood. chestnuts are wholesome, nutri-
dous. and fattening. These nuts are
often used as a vegetable, and are ex-
.eedingly popular being found on the
able of the well-to-do and wealthy.
they are served not only boiled, but
roasted, steamed, pureed, and as
dressings for poultry and meats,
Chestnuts are also made into bread
by the mountain peasantry.

Fashionable Colors.

This is the time of year when col
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 it's 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 smartes,
green's.
Mimosa is yellow that verges on
orange.
Petunia is the successor of the
fuchsia medley, with the purple and
red tints predominating.

Az ASHINGTON.-Just as the day
w shift of the Capitol police force
was about to knock off duty at dusk the
pther evening an automobile rolled in
to the driveway, under the house
steps, and middle-aged man and a
young VOman got out and walked
briskly through the doorway. One Of
the officers on the door stopped them
and politely gave the information
that the time for receiving visitors
for the day was over.
For moment the man hesitated.
Then, from behind him there stepped
but hurriedly a much younger man,
who said something in low voice to
the officer The latter's manner
changed Immediately. He grabbed his
cap from his head, and, bowling low,
said
Come right In, Mr.. President"
II just thought I would like to look
over the new seats in the house"
said President Wilson with a smile.
The officer led the way to the eleva-
tor, and they were lifted up to the
next floor. They walked through the
corridor, and came to the members
lobby. There they discovered that the
doors leading to the house chamber
were locked.
The officer hurled back downstairs
to the sergeant-at-arms' Office to get
the key.

Heels Very Hiuh,

one sees the most grotesque sights
which are the direct result of high
heels combined with tight skirts. How

difficult to say. Their best effort is
only a feeble and unsafe totter, for

high, throws the body forward and up.

TAKES HIS JAG AL0fT

Taking his spree aloft flagstaff,
an intoxicated steeplejack, Frank
Philips, attracted a large crowd in
front of the First National Bank build
ing at Jamaica, N. Y, on recent aft
ernoon After climbing the pole, the
steeplejack INDUCED in boots and cat
calls at the police whv tried to arrest
him. The crowd was further enter
tanned by the sight of Patrolman
Sangster, weighing $50 pounds, trying
to capture the noisy steeplejack for
the steeplejack's own good and secur-
ity. Stung by the mans taunts, Sang
ster did Skinny up ten feet, boosted
by a patrolman, but the pole wobbled
so that he gave it up and slid down
again. This seemed to appeal to the
s.eeplejack, who agreed to come down
to the roof, where he was promptly
collared and locked up.

MUMMIES BY THE MILLION

1t has been estimated that some
thing like 20,OOO,OOO Egyptian mum
mics have been discovered. Thou
sands of those best preserved are now
in the show cases of the various mu-
seums of the world. In the tombs
with the mummies were countless 9TH
er objects There were painting on
the walls, chairs and tables, jars con-
tanning the parts of the body which
were removed when the mummy was
prepared, mummy cases gaud1ly col
ored with funeral scenes and hero
glyphic inscriptions, and in the cases
along with the mummies were papyrl
Beneath each mummy's head, like
cushion, was a little disk of clay or
papyrus, covered with NEUROLOGICAL
pictures and with a stereotyped hymn
The disks, found in great numbers,
are nearly alike, varying only slightly
with the period from which they come
"Hypocephali" they are called, because
they were placed beneath the head
Like the mummies the objects found
with them have been scattered
abroad, and in the museum at CAIRO
any tourist may purchase as many OF
them as he will
The inscriptions on the disks and
the mummy cases, of coarse, could
not at first be read, nor could the
NEUROLOGICAL pictures accompanying
them be understood until the inscrlp
lions could be read. However, in lf99
the famous Rosetta Stone was dlscoV
cred, and Champollion, a french
decipering it's hieroglyphic inscription
with the aid of the accompanying
Greek translation. The process was
so slow that it was not till 1S4l that
grammar of the Egyptian language
appeared. Then the progress In the
study of the language was rapid; the
strange hieroglyphics became as intel
| ligible as an English newspaper.

LOST PIN MYSTERY

One of the mysteries of the world Is
certainly the pin. In astounding guam
titles they pour from numerous FACTOR
les, principally in Birmingham. one
mill alone is credited with turning out
nearly 100000 pins day, and no
one has ever attempted the calculation
Of the worlds output. A pin is thing
which, in the ordinary way, would last
for years, and it is problem to ac-
count for the necessity for making
such enormous quantities.
The explanation is undoubtedly that
pins are so cheap that everyone
throws away or loses them as fast as
they use them. Thousands and thou
sands of them enter the sewers or
our towns, and solid masses are often
found where innumerable examples OF
these tiny articles have become weld
ed together in their passage through
the sewers
The output of a pin factory includes
dozens of different sizes, from the
tiny pins used by naturalists, only
a quarter of an inch long, and as fine
as a hair, to giant blanket pins four
inches in length, and nearly as thick
as wire nail
Hairpins are another example Of
useful articles made to be lost; they
follow the fate of the common pin.

STRANGER Wanted Whack at the Wire Grass Turf

A LABORER was digging up the wire
n grass which was already asserting
itself in the new green velvet OF a
park up Capitol Hill way. A we'll
dressed middle-aged man, who was
passing, paused to say:
Let me have a turn at that spade,
went you'"
The laborer-a white man-straight-
ened up, grinned politely, but kept his
spade.
"Say, hand over that shovel for a
minute, son. l haven't had whack at
this sort of fun for Is years. Been liv-
ing on the desert, where there isn't
a blade of civilized grass in a days
ride"
No good-natured laborer could pos
sibly withstand an appeal like that.

Trimmings From Chinese Skirts.


Chinese skirts in the original GER
tainly possess as many varied uses as
the famous porker, whose only loss is
it's 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
landings 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 addi-
ton of the panels
