Who wouldn't undertake to own a
pretty boudior cap and gown when
both can be made for about two dol
lars and a half expenditure? Since
manufacturers of lace have said good
by to the old handmade patterns and
have turned their attention to the
original designs that can be made by
machinery, we have new order of
the filmiest and most exquisite laces
that cost hardly more than fine, plain
cotton fabrics. This adaptation of de-
sign to mechanical workmanship has
done wonders in putting pretty things
within the reach Of even woman.
These laces are woven in wide flounc-
ings as we'll as narrow edgings and
can be used like any other thin mate
rial. They have made a tremendous
advance in popularity this season.
The cheaper varieties of machine
made laces are not specially durable,
but they are not intended for gar
ments demanding durability. But with
a modest outlay one can buy the Ger
man Val and better grades of shadow
lace and be sure of their wearing
qualities. It is laundering that is hard

WINS RACE WITH BEE SWARM
Colorado Man and Daughter Made
Seriously III From stinss During
Mad Ride.

Denver, Colo.-Only by turning on
all the power of her touring car were
Miss Edith Welker, twenty-one, and
her father, Edward Welker, able to
escape a swarm of bees from Long
mont to Denver the other day.
They distanced the bees in a mad
ride, but not until both had been stung
hundred or more times on their faces
and hands. They were seriously i'll
for several days.
1--WE ran into the bees near Lafay-
ette," said Mr.. Welker my daughter
was driving, The top of our machine
was up and the windshield was doVS,
and the motion of the car sucked the
bees right into the body.
1--WE tried to beat them away with
blanket, but that did not help much.
My daughter stopped the car when we
first noticed the bees, but when we
saw that we could not get rid of them
she turned on all the power and drove
as fast as she could. We eventually
distanced them"

ICE MENACE TO STEFANSSON
Polar Expedition Meets With Accident
Members of Crew Say Ship
Has Hole In II.

Nome. Alaska.-The old whaler Kar-
LUX, which was taking the Vihjaimur

expedition into the arctic, met with a
serious accident in the ice off Point
Barrow, the northernmost point Of
Alaska, and may have to unload her
cargo, according to word received
here from the revenue cutter Bear

LUX is not known, but 1t is reported

ing, no blueing is necessary. They are
washed as other laces are washed by
hand.
The pretty nainsook boudoir gown
shown here Is made up with sleeves
and trimming Of the least expensive
shadow lace which sells from twenty
five to forty cents a yard. About two
and half yards Of it provide for the
sleeves, trimmings and lace strips in
the cap. Five yards of ribbon an
inch wide is needed and two yards
Of baby ribbon. A yard of net ruch-
ing for the cap and five yards of a
very narrow lace edging in one of the
simple Cluny patterns for the gown
are needed. Four yards of nainsook
will be an ample allowance for the
body Of the gown. 1t is easy enough
to figure that this bewitching little
outfit can hardly be called an extrav-
agance by any one.
The same design can be worked
out in wash silks and more durable
laces Of it is not necessary to practice
strict economy. Even in these mate
rials SO much prettiness can hardly
be achieved at 80 small an outlay Of
money, in any other way.

If you are afraid that you can't
make the shirt entire, buy one from
his haberdasher. The material best
suited for the purpose is striped
colored stripes about an inch apart on
white ground-so be sure that you
get his favorite color. Most men are
fond Of lavender. Now stamp in the
center of the white ground between
the colored stripes, about two inches

dot to fill the center space where the

more difficult 'bowknot or fleur-de-lis.
Pad the designs well and work them
in white silk floss. Floss the color of
the stripes may be used, but it is
rather conspicuous. There is a quiet
elegance about the white on a white
ground that most men would prefer.

Dobbin looked up confidingly, but
Ed Busha, head brakeman, took no
chances. He promptly sat on the
horses head. Jack Rogers, rear
brakeman, grasped the animals tail;
the fat man from the smoker who had
enjoyed hearty meal grasped the
electric light pole; the disgusted col

assuringly. Others lent a hand. and,
prying and pulling, soon had the
horse on his feet again. Quietly he
allowed himself to be led back over
the improvised board walk and in
deep thought watched the train from
the roadside as it steamed out, fortA

Quite a number of other places
ere also arranging or contemplating,
similar contests. The Charlotte ladies
and Fair authorities are said to be
arranging for a Better Babies Contest
Tor their Fair the last week of this
month. Wilmington will doubtless
mold contest, also Wadesboro, Bur
gaw and other points.
Already a lot of mothers who know
something about the value of these
contests and the benefit to be de-
rived from them have signifed their
intention of entering the contest at
the state fair. The doctors there will
be the best in the state and they will
spare no pains to point out to moth
ers just how they can improve their
babies. AS for prizes, there will be
set OF prizes for Raleigh babies, an
other for Wake county babies, an
ct..e- FOR the Eastern Carolina babies
az another for the Western Carolina
babies. A special set of state cham
ponsh1p prizes are also offered for
the four best babies in the state.
All in all, it is a fine movement.
The State Board of Health claims that
the $500 or $500 offered in prizes is
the smallest part of che contest. The
educational value the parents will de-
rive will be worth mSny times the
prize money offered. Inquiries in re-
gard to the state contest should be
directed to the State Board of Health,

sets of prizes for the best girl babies
in Raleigh.
Then the Wake County Betterment
Association and other organizations
are providing similar set of Is prizes
for babies in Wake county, outside OF
Raleigh. Two other similar sets of
prizes have been provided, one for ba-
bies east of Wake county, and another
set for babies west OF Wake county.
The exact value. or amount of each
cash prize can not be stated yet, as
the prize funds are not all in, but it
is confidently expected that the first
prize in each case will range between
$40 and SIS, the second between S.
and So, the third between So and So.
and the fourth about 81. The total
value of each of the four sets of
prizes will be over 500, and the grand
total value of all the prizes given will
be between $400 and $500
For the benefit of tired mothers and
sleepy babies the State Board of
Health has arranged two large tents
provided with cots, chairs, running
water, toilets, and everything that
makes for the health, comfort and
welfare Of mothers and babies. These
tents will be in charge of trained
nurses, and mothers may leave their
babies for nap in perfect safety
while they visit the fair.
