SHOES BABY CAN'T KICK OFF
Mother Tells How Homemade Ar
tloies Solved Problem That Had
Driven Her to Despair.

When my baby got to the crawling
stage used to find it very difficult to
keep his little pink toes warm and
covered. The young Turk poked
them through woolen bootees in no
time and seemed to think that tiny
kid shoes were only put on SO that
he might have the pleasure of kicking
them of, says contributor to the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
At last, In despair, l turned shoe
maker myself, and determined to
make comfy little pair of slippers
that would stay on.
First unearthed q pair OF old
elbow-length tan gloves of my own,
and then proceeded to cut out sole
and upper from each arm with q pair
of bought shoes as a pattern. At the
same time cut out lining of firm
material to make my handiwork quite
firm and neat. Then ! stitched the
kid and lining Of the upper together
on the wrong side and joined up the
back Of the heel, afterwards turning
tne WnOle tnlng right SIDE out anu
stitching 1t all round
The little bands l hemmed neatly
by hand, and finished them of with
a brown button and buttonhole. Then
l stitched the sole-which l had al
ready Joined to its lining-to the up
per, inside out, of course. and finally
slip-stitched another lining to the sole
to make 1t tidy.
In less than an hour my first at
tempt at shoemaking was finished,
and baby had comfy pair OF slip
pers which fitted his little feet per-
fectly, and absolutely refused to be
kicked OF.
That was eight months ago, and
baby still wears little brown shoes
made in the same way. He also has
some white ones for best occasions
made from gloves, as well. and fin
ished with tiny pompoms. They look
very charming, and are much admired

women, whose lives were intimately
associated with the nation and state.
Long before the Revolutionary war,
when settlers in Delaware were few,
a handful of Episcopalians, known as
the Society for the Propagation Of
the Gospel, began the organization of
a church A wooden building was
pitched on the road to Delaware bay.
about two miles east of Dover This
early move was in 1903
The crude frame building continued
to be the place of worship until the
population had so expanded that there
was demand for larger quarters.
In 1884 work on brick building
was begun. Historians record that it
was at that time thought a remark
able enterprise, and there was an in
flux OIL visitors each Sunday to watch
the progress on a brick church, an
innovation, because all others were Of
frame.
Six years passed before the edifice
was completed. The congregation
thrived, but previous to the Civil war
it was abandoned and given up to
"moles and bats" Cattle were stabbed
in it and it became a rendezvous for
boys.
In 1860 the church was reclaimed
and the rough uses to which it had
been subjected were found to have
had but little effect. Extensive re-
pairs we're made and it was reconse-
Grated by Bishop Lee. Since then
there have been more repairs, and,
though some beautified the interior,
none emphasized its rich heritages.
The restoration as far as possible.
with modern conveniences, has been
to revive the original architectural
lines and style.

The model shown here Is in pale
cream colored taffeta with a wreath
and sprays of flowers embroidered In
alternating panels. Tango ruffles may
be added to the plain panels, If de-

FROM POVERTY TO WEALTH
w. q. Conneli, a Miner of Alaska,
Broke Year Ago, Is Now
Worth $4,000.

Portland, Ore.-Broke less than a
year ago and working at odd jobs
cleaning easements and yards in
this city and now worth $4,000, all Of
which was secured through his own
efforts, is the experience of w. B.
Connell. an Alaska miner.
To H. A. Davie. deputy city attor.
ney of this city, Is largely due much of
the credit for the good fortune which
has befallen the lucky miner. Connell
came to Davie last July with the story
that he knew Judge Davie, the local
attorneys father, who was formerly a
Judge In British Columbia. He had a
hard-luck story and pleaded for work.
Davie gave him some odd jobs clean
ing the yard and basement in his home.
for which he paid the man two dollars.
After the work was completed the
stranger asked for six dollars for rail-
way fare to Seattle, from which place
he intended to go to Alaska. The man
appeared to be honest, and he gave
Connell six dollars.
That was the last heard of the man
until few days ago, when he received
a letter written from the White Horse
river, Yukon territory. Connell said
that he had reached Alaska and had
gone to the Chlsana gold fields, and
there had located on three claims.
Il have sold the three claims"
writes Connell, ito New York syndi-
