POCKET TO HOLD SLIPPERS


decorative and dainty slipper
pocket Is shown in the accompanying
sketch. It is made in pale pink art
linen and may be cut out in two
pieces, one piece forming the back.
and the other the pockets; the latter
piece of material Is scanned down the
center SO that it forms two separate
divisions into which the slippers may
be placed. The material is turned
over at the top and hemmed down and
either a thin piece of wood or a piece
of cane run through. This Is done
in order that the pocket viii retain its
shape when hanging upon the wall.
It is edged throughout with a pink
and white cord carried into loops on
either side, and again at the base,
where the ends OF the cords hang
downwards and are knotted together
and frayed out into tassels.
The openings Of the pockets are
also edged with some OF the same pink
and white cord which Is arranged in
three little loops in the center. On
the front Of each Of these pockets a
simple floral design is embroidered
consisting Of a white daisy with q vel
low center and leaves in various
shades Of green. At the top a loop
of cord is provided for s~uspending the

PROBABLY DIDN'T GET JOB
Applicant for Federal Position Made
Big Mistake When He Failed to
Get Underwood's Name.

Early in Oscar Underwood's service
In congress. when Mr.. Cleveland was
president. Underwood was made ref
cree for federal patronage in his dis
trict In Alabama.
One day Underwood was out cam
paigning some miles from Birming-
ham, and he stopped at a little village
where. there was a sawmill that en-
ployed a good many hands. He knew
the saWmill owner, and was talking
to him when a doctor who lived in a
village near by, where the postmaster
had just died, came along in a buggy.
The doctor stopped at the sawmill.
The sawmill boss introduced him to
Underwood, but the doctor had other
fish to fry. and paid no attention to
Underwood, and apparently didn't get
his name. He produced a petition
and said:
Now, boys. the postmaster over in
~ town has just died. and I'm a can
didate for the job. I'm getting up a
petition to send to Washington, rec
ommending me for the place. / wish
you boys would sign it."
Some Of the boys did, and finally
the doctor handed the petition to I'm,
derwood. Underwood looked at it. Ii
al addressed to the Honorable Oscar
Underwood. referee for federal patron
age at Washington
Il can't sign this" said Underwood
Il don't live in this community"
@Oh, go on and sign it, urged tbs
doctor. what difference does thai
make? That young fool Underwood
won't know the difference when he
gets it-and I want the job"

serum Cuts DOWN Morality

IN Paris from 1880 to 1898. before
the discovery Of the anti-diphtheria
serum, diphtheria killed an average
Of 1.721 persons a year, 2,244 deaths
in 1882 and 1855 in 1890 being the
maximum. After Roux discovered
his serum, the average Of deaths
dropped to S4S. with a maximum of
736 in 1901 and a minimum of TIA
in 1906. Thus. thanks to serotherapy,
there is now only one death instead of
five, and in some years one instead of
seven, or a mortality of six per 10O.-
600 Inhabitants.
In 1896, soon after the serum came
into use in Paris, the mortality fell
to 81 per 100, 900. while in London it
was 55.6; in Berlin, COL. and in St
Petersburg, 1913.

SCARF WRAP HAS COME BACK
Elaborate and as Highly colored as
Wearer Wishes-They Have Been
Given Warm Welcome.

Between the mantle and no wrap at
all there is often an uncomfortable
gap that the light transparent scarf
does not fill. This has brought back
the pretty fashion of the scarf wrap,
or, to be more correct, it should be
called a scarf shawl, 1t is SO wide.
Wrapped about the figure it often
looks like a mantle. These scarfs are
generally two and a half yards long
and a yard of more wide. Sometimes
they are the width of the material
used. which may be even as much as
So inches.
Some of the elaborate ones for even
ing are made OF crepe de chine that
has a printed border on both sides.
These are outlined about the edge
with an ostrich feather band. Others
are of charmeuse, lined with a con-
trasting color of charmeuse or chiffon,
plain or Powered. Such scarfs are
often striped with marabou and fur, a
finishing band ofNit across the short
er edges.
