The Rars, Track Raid.


The employment by Governor Stuart Of the
band Of mountaineer detectives. armed with
pistols and rifles to raid the betting stand OF
The Jamestown race track, an injustice to
Norfolk Of the most serious character.
Nobody Will find fault with officials who ques
ton the legality Of the betting on the races, but

the betting and to have test case made, and
when their attitude known to the officials

MAKE CHILDREN HAPPY EASTER MONDAY.

Easter Monday will be a holiday for the
school children of the city. On that day every
child who can get an egg or dozen eggs. will

himself and then try to find it, and II he does,
secure prize.
Who does not remember the Easter Monday
Of hs childhood? Who does not remember the
happy hours spent with the eggs of many colors.
and the Joyous moments in picking" when the
hardest shell came out victorious?
Who has forgotten the time when the mother
the teacher the maid carried him out into the
fed OF buttercups and daisies. with his colored
eggs and his snack. there to spend the day romp-
ing as he pleased In the bright spring sunshine,
with his candy eggs and his real hard boiled
eggs?
Easter Monday is one Of the holidays looked
forward to with pleasure by the children
In Washington the gates to the White House
grounds are thrown open; the Marine band dis
courses popular melodies; the president comes
forth from the big portico and shakes hands
with all the children of Washington Not only
the children, but the grown-ups as we'll and the
day is one big affair.
Why can't the children and the grown-ups OF
Richmond Nave the freedom Of the grounds sur.

Capitol. and Why cant the children of Richmond
have the honor of Shaking hands with the gov

dish with cream jug sitting firmly in

The sugar Is ranged neatly around the

EARS AGAIN IN FASHION,,

E,ARS are coming into fashion again.
The hair which has been drawn
over them is to be drawn upward and
away, and soon every other woman
will be wearing ears. Then we shall
begin to notice whether they are the
shel-li5e things the poets sing about
or just ugly protuberances.
While we massage our faces and our
necks and our hands and arms we are
prone to forget all about making our
ears beautiful. The sooner the work
Is begun the better, for It is fact that
as soon as the uncovered ears be-
come fashionable there will arise talk
of ear beauty.
Wearing the hair over the ears has
done the work of the ear cap, but it
has not gone far enough. 1t has kept
the ears in place during the day, and
at night we have lain with them
crunpled up; also we have worn ear
rings, and they have pulled the lobes
down. so begin the ear treatment If
your ears are not in correct position
tie them in place at night; then see
that they are daintily pink. The pink
ear ia the sign Of health as well as of
beauty. DO not massage the ear. for
it Will do damage instead OF good I'M
less done by an expert. Apply a dab
Of cold cream to the rim each night,
removing 1t carefully with absorbent
cotton.
Then II you use powder and a bit of
rouge on your face don't neglect the
ear. Touch the lobe, ever so lightly.
with rouge. 1t should be daintily pink.
And dust the rim of the ears with
powder. 1t must be done carefully. for
the perfect ear is the natural ear, and
ears that evidence make up" are a
blemish to any face.

The Lore of Oriental
Rugs

THERE is much romance interviewer
- in the history of oriental rugs. To
begin with, the oriental rug you own
may have been part Of the OUTFIT OF
some little Persian bride and the work
Of her own hands. Into 1t she has
woven all her bright dreams--so no
wonder the colors are beautiful. These
bridal rugs are the most treasured pos
sessions of oriental families. They
rarely sell them to dealers. except un.
der stress OF dire poverty.
Not only love dreams are woven into
oriental rugs, but religion. for nearly
every line and figure used is symbolic
of some sacred object.
That odd leaf shaped pattern seen in
all Of the old cashmere shawls Is used
in many rugs and is supposed to rep
resent a view in perspective OF the
curves of the sacred Indus river a.
viewed from the tall mosques on the
plains Of Kashmir.
Oriental rugs are as truly works OF
art as any fine paintings can be. The
unintiated see only rude and ofttimes
unsymmetrical figures worked. out In
crude colors on a dark background
Those who really love and study
them will find many wonderful har-
monies Of color among them, "geomet-
rical designs beautiful as the rose VIM
dows Of cathedral and medallions
beautiful as Jewels" as one orientalist
says The beautifully intricate tracer
les and arabesques are coupled with
oddly conventional representations Of
tiny human figures. birds. trees and
fish
A genuine Turkish rug, however.
never has pictures of living creatures
woven into it, as the Turks are OF the
most orthodox Mohammedan sect and
are forbidden to make unto them
selves amy craven images" The Per-
slams have no such scruples and. in
consequence use these patterns for
hidden to the Turks. Persian rugs are
by far the finest among the orientals
They are very soft and closely woven
There are many varieties Of them with
names which look to most of us merely
like assorted letters Of the alphabet
They are really the names Of the towns
in which the rugs were made, and
many of the queer characters used in
the patterns were originally trade
marks of the weavers and were often
used generation after generation by the
weavers of a certain district
All the beautiful colorings of oriental
rugs are produced by animal or vege-
table dyes. which accounts for theiI
beauty and durability. The mineral
dyes used in the modern product eat
away the carpet in time. The colora
produced by vegetable dyes become
beautifully blurred and softened by
time, The bright magentas fade into
lovely tones of fawn and salmon, tan OF
old rose. The bright blues fade to tur.
quoise or stone blue.
And then that queer little kink In an
oriental rug BE honest now-havent
you pulled and patted il to try to make
| it straighten out? Well don't! That
little kink is the proof that your rug Il
really hand woven That little uneven
ness of weave is almost pathetically
reminiscent of the poor, faulty bit OF
humanity who did the weaving. your
poetical oriental will say OF his rug:
FINISHED II may be, but never perfect
II must show some defect in proof that
Allah alone is perfect"

SHOCKING is AGAIN IN
FAVOR

THAT pretty. old fashioned shocking
is again coming into favor Like
ali things beautiful, 1t is bound to re-
peat itself again and again as the wheel
of fashion rolls around. In fashions,
as in other things, the survival of the
fittest is the law, and shocking has
proved its right to revival. Perhaps
the beautiful soft materials now in
use have again brought shocking into
popularity,
Slender people are rejoicing at the
opportunity for graceful fullness on
the front of a waist that is now theirs
Then, too, there is an odd quaintness
about long sleeves that are shocked
several rows above the cuffs.
Little peasant frocks for children
display decorative shocking. When
the shocking is done on peasant frocks
Of white dlmity in colored thread the
effect Is particularly attractive.
Shocking on evening wraps Of light
weight materials Will give that grace
full fullness so necessary to wraps in
this season Of draping. These are only
a few of the things for which smock-
ing will be used for some time to come.
1t Is hoped.

DISTINCTIVE FASHION
FRILLS

TWO tone hosiery comes in wide
variety and combination of colors.
Duvetyn is a fabric which has much

ings in which 1t is to be had. 1t is not
only soft and supple, but has consider
able warmth.
Small draped hats OF moire with a
single feather fancy tellingly placed
are in unusually good taste for spring.
characteristic note of the embroid-
cry which is used on gowns this season
Is the degree to which 1t is padded.
Apparently 1t cannot be too heavily
padded. and when the handwork is
done in worsteds the padding is &C
! centuated.
Tucked net is a favorite material for
frills, vests and coates Of various
kinds Sometimes there is a touch Of
handwork in silver or gold thread
Hemstitched squares Of crepe de
chine are dainty French handkerchiets.
They are to be had in colors as well as
in charmingly figured material. They
often are tucked into the pocket of the
waistcoat, just the corner OF the
| squares showing.

WHEN BATHING THE BABY

Double faced eiderdown is a pretty

advantage of being much heavier and
warmer than the cheaper material, and
this should be consideration In cold
