"Well, the poor railroads, at any

story about that.
"Mr. Vanderbilt said that man

said Mr.. Vanderbilt.

BALL GAME
Asheville Basket Ball Team De-

Friday Night.

Newport defeated Asheville
High School in a fast and exciting
game last Friday night by the
score of 27-24. The game was
fast from start to finish and mark
ed by many exciting plays by both
teams. Newport outplayed the
visitors in the first half of the
game but the Asheville lads came
back strong in the last half. The
feature of the game was the SEN
sational goal of Cicero Sparks and
the all-round playing of Harry

Wooden Legs.

According to makers of wooden legs
the supply of willow, the proper mate
rial for light, serviceable artificial
limbs, is running short in the United
States and some substitute must
shortly be found. Concrete won't do.
Paper is not favored What is want
ed is some light, not too expensive
wood. Or the situation might be re-
lieved somewhat in shortening the de-
mand for wooden legs-say by hav-
ing fewer railroad and auto accidents
in which limbs are removed or splin-
tered. But this is distinct problem
one for consideration in some coming
age when speed has come to be less
regarded as an essential-if such an
age shall arrive. Meanwhile we'll go
right on knocking off limbs in our
hasty way and hunting up blocks of
wood to supply the deficiency Gre
ated by-well, by our own course of
conduct.

BACK TO THE MIDDLE AGES
Idea for Opera Bag Has Been Copied
From Those Carried Many
Centuries.s

It is called medieval" because it
so closely resembles those beautiful
bags almost invariably seen on ladies
Of rank during the middle ages.
Take an oblong Of heavy. cream
colored MORE silk, eight inches long
by six and half inches wide. Meas
ure up from tho bottom two inches
on each side and place another mark
In the center Of the bottom. Cut from
the side marks to the mark at the
center bottom, and this will make a
decided point. Cut another piece of
MORE the same shape and size. Place
the two pieces one upon the other,
run a narrow seam about the pointed
bottom and two sides. Cut a lining
from pale blue satin to fit the bag.
Run two rows of stitching along the
top to form a casing and run through
1t gold cord to draw the mouth of
the bag shut. Now crochet, in simple
chain stitch, an "overdress" Of gold
thread that will slip over the bag and
come within two and a half inches of
the top. The mesh covering will, of
course, be pointed. Make 1t in square
mesh, similar to f1let lace, about two
or three chain stitches forming each
side of the squares. At the two lower
corners of the bag and at the bottom
point hang tassels of gold.
To further beautify the bag and
give 1t still more Of a medieval ap-
pearance, sew all over the gold "over-
Dress" at the corners of each square,
where the mesh forms q small cross
seed pearls or small pearl beads; but
beads of dark blue glass are good
limitations of sapphires and are more
durable than pearls. Corals of tur-
quoise-colored beads are most effec-
tive.
After the beads are sewed on with
a fine gold thread, slip the "over-
dress" over the white MORE and tack
1t to the silk along the tiny points
which have been crocheted along the
top edge Of the overdress.

Pannler Purses.
