TO HOLD THE CUT FLOWERS
Bamboo Stand That Fits into Corner
Of Room 10 Simple Ornament
Easy to Make.

Workers in bamboo should find no
difficulty in constructing the novel and
pretty stand for cut flowers shown. in
the accompanying sketch. Bamboo
poles can be purchased very cheaply,
and they can be -asily cut up into the
required lengths for making the stand
The canes should be plugged at the
ends with wood, and fastened to-
gether with long, thin, sharp nails,
holes having first been burnt In the
bamboo for them, with fine red-hot
skewer.
To finish of the upper ends of the
three longest upright pieces OF cane,
small brass balls, similar to those
used for finishing of the ends of bam-
boo curtain poles. are screwed.
The canes are, Of course, hollow and
out Of the sides at the places indi.
Gated in the sketch, pieces are cut
and in the holes so made flowers with
damp cotton wool wound round the
stems may be inserted. Diagram A.,
at the top of the illustration, shows
front view of one of the canes, with
the piece cut away. and diagram B
gives a side view and shows exactly
the shape OF the portion that should
be removed.
The stand fits into the corner Of the
room, and in the sketch it Is shown
only half filled with flowers, and this
has been done in order that the way
in which it is constructed may be
clearly seen.
A stand Of this kind is useful
throughout the year, as in tho sum-
mer all kinds Of blossoms are avail

cause the patriotic American woman
knows that the more cotton fabrics
she buys, that much sooner will the
present supply be exhausted and the
new cotton in the bale be demanded
to go into the mills, giving work,
where work and money are frightfully
needed; for, mind you, not all the suf-
fering in this war will be in Europe.
This is the second time in the half
century that the South will be hit
hard by battle.
The campaign for cotton gowns is
good one and If successful will
serve the country in several ways.
There is little need to tell any wom-
an of the loveliness of a cotton frock,
or how she shall make it, especially
II that woman has spent any time be-
low the imaginary boundary line, in
a land where the trick is turned in
graceful manner.
Organdie and cotton chiffon and
batiste, point d'esprit, and footing"

erners' wardrobe for more than
century, and any woman, especially
a debutante, looks well in them. II
they will not serve for the formal oc-
casions among women who are turned
out smartly in society, they will serve
for the informal life OF the house
during the winter.
A debutante who wishes to do some
thing individual should take organdie
and colored muslin for her social uni
form, make each gown according to
the best style, vary them as much as
her ingenuity suggests, proclaim her
program, and the result would be that
she would be written down as one of
intelligence and originality, and she
would have all the followers that
every debutante Graves. Added to
this, she would be inexpensively
dressed, which is an item of more
importance this winter than 1t has
been In ten years.
Are brocades to be reckoned among
the new silks? If So they would take

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege Of Kimberley.

During the Boer1 war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley. and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They we're not
very successful, for with 300 big shells
they only killed II people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was regular modern rifed
gun. and fired shells-afso homemade
on each of which was stamped
With compliments of G. ]. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves were not with
out a sense of humor. During Christ
mas, 1899. they were besieging Lady.
smith, and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with a piece of plum pudding inside
and each bearing the words, with the
seasons compliments"
Two Of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in a foundry
at Johannesburg.

Much more jewelry has been worn
In the last two years by all classes of
women. Semi-precious stones, artistic
ally inset, are now used as daytime
jewels. There used to be only two
kinds Of 1ewelry in America, the genu-
inc and very expensive, out of the
reach Of all but the woman of wealth,
and the very cheap sort, that no won.

would think of wearing.
Now there has been imported and
made here an in-between sort. Some

stones, in platinum, which has re-
placed gold, but the larger diamonds,
rubies, emeralds or sapphires are syn
thetic stones; that is to say, stones
that have been manufactured to repre-
sent the real and made from the same
component chemical parts as the real
stones They are set up in the same
designs as the real and have often
been mistaken for them by those who
ought to know better.
Besides this jewelry there are the
semi-precious stones, like turquoise

shapes and settings designed by art

those who know how to dress.

properly fitted out unless she had an
amethyst or pink faille evening frock

One of the dressmakers started a
fashion for making blocks on the
black faille with strips of black vel

doing this. The shops also sell the
fabrics already arranged in squares.
