Long German Retreat.

The new position OF the German
army front, along the River Warthe
over seventy-five miles west of the
Vistula river, which they reached at
the time Of the attempted attack on
Warsaw, indicates the tremendous re-
treat of General Won Hindenberg's en-
tire army in Poland the last two
weeks. This retreat is regarded as
especially important since such noted
industrial centers as Lodz. Piotrkow,
Radon and Kielce are recaptured by
the Russians. The strategic point at
Sandomir, which is at the junction Of
the San and Vistula rivers, has also
been retaken.

The first reports of the fight

the warfare in Galicia. Each contend

that some time may elapse before a

This necessity for respecting the

USEFUL GIFTS FOR
THE TRAVELLER

Among the useful little ct ceteras which
make dainty homemade gifts for a
friend who expects to travel is a hair
pin case with a turnover flap resembling
pocketbook. This should be made
of green or other serviceable color in
linen. The fiap is scalloped in white or
in a darker cotton than the linen The
initials or monogram should correspond
In color with the scallop.
Such case may be made in hand
kerchief linen to fit over a chamois jewel
case, which Is worn on a ribbon around
the neck. The linen case may be easily
laundered from time to time, while the
suede bag is protected by the linen from
getting soiled.
A tiny pincushion is another gift easily
packed. while a long ribbon lined with
white French flannel forms a case for
many threaded needles, an invaluable gift
for one who is travelling rapidly. The rib
bon should be three-quarters of a yard
long and between two and three inches
wide. The threaded needles should be
basted along the entire length to be
drawn out when needed. The ribbon can
be overseamed to the flannel or taped
along the edge to hold the two together.
When not in use. the ribbon can be rolled
or folded nat and tied with narrow rib
bon.

CRYSTAL JEWELRY
THE NEWEST THING

There Is a novelty in jewelry SO very
new that it has scarcely been put upon
the market: so exquisite that every
woman who has seen 1t desires to pos
sess a piece of it: SO costly that few are
able to purchase any of 1t; SO different
from anything heretofore shown that II
promises to become a general craze.
This is the rock crystal tewelry which
is gemmed with pearls and diamonds.
The rock crystal is cut in thin, fiat
forms and then etched in such a manner
that it Is at once a suggestion Of the
star sapphire and the moonstone. A
mounting of platinum is then added and

pearls as milady chooses. The complet-
ed ornament is so definitely bridelike
that 1t will be most popular among items
for wedding gifts for the approaching
season. though 1t Is one Of the rare
fashions that is as suitable for the girl
of seventeen and the matron as for the
bride
shown is the bar brooch. This Is not
to be confused with the out-of-mode bar
shirtwaist pin. The former Is one of
the ornaments most in vogue at present.
There are, however, to be pieces Of this
rock crystal loveliness executed in every
jeweled thing that is at present in
favor. 1t may be had only of the best

R0NPERs FROM OLD SHIRTS.

shirts.

regardless of sex.
There is a saving of time as well as
material, for the pattern may be SO laid
on that the buttons down the front OF
the skirt come at the back Of the romper.
This leaves only the buttonholes in the
seat to be made. The little sleeves come
out Of the big ones.
By taking care to make them long
enough in the seat. the rompers may be
outworn and outgrown at the same time.
Another advantage is that in winter they
accommodate the baby's skirts. On hot
summer days these may be dispensed
with entirely. A romper pattern with
pleats should be selected. so that piec-
ing, II necessary, may be invisible.

It is said that embroidery is the mother

painting or sculpture. There is much
IN early history that has been handed
down to US in embroideries, which have
depicted upon them certain events EN-.

When embroidery was more or less
young, the embrOiderer was his own
designer. As many men were interested
some of the embroiderers. including both
men and women, frequently devoted their
entire lives 10 the work which authori-
ties have agreed in calling one Of the
finest of arts.
Now, however. in this rapidly twirlne

nothing more than a pastime, and rarely

There are not few women today who.
If not exactly making fortunes in the
commercial world, are managing busi-
dollars worth of orders every year.

president of st. Louis. who, through
business aptitude, raised the value Of the

close upon S250o.00o Another remarkable
railway business woman is Mrs. Theodore

But of all these wonderfully successful
business women perhaps the most re-
markable is the Iron Woman Of
America as she has been termed-Mrs.
Harriet White Fisher Agnew-who took
charge of her husbands foundry when

business which now supplies anvils and

A TWINE HOLDER.

The traditional string-bag is not half
SO convenient as a ball of unbroken
twine hung in an old candleshade. If
the shade is of metal, so much the bet
ter A frail shade of paper or silk will
hardly do for the purpose, but one Of
heavy linen upon a frame or Of thick
parchment will probably do. The shade
is to be turned upside down and piece
of ribbon, tied across to make sort OF
basket handle. This handle is hung to
nail in the wall or upon some little pro-
lection in an unobtrusive but convenient
corner. A pair Of scissors Is suspended
by another ribbon from this twine hold
er, and a ball of twine is placed within
1t and an end of the twine drawn through
the bottom and small opening Of the
shade. When twine is needed the end IL
pulled through the shade in the very
same way that the twine holder at the
grocery is used. II the ribbon suspend
ing the scissors is sufficiently long. the
scissors can readily be used for other
cutting purposes.
