Something new in luncheon sets is
made of stiff white silk muslin, very
small gilt cord and white and green
water color paints. 1t consists OF q
centerpiece and twelve doilies to
match and is made in a conventional.
lied chrysanthemum design. The
doilies are small replicas Of the Gen.
terpiece.
A large circle is cut from the mus
lin for the centerpiece and o few
French knots, of dark yellow embroid-
cry silk, are worked in the center to
represent the stamens. Three rows Of
petals are outlined on the centerpjece
with white paint and the tiny gilt
cord is sewed with yellow silk thread
along the outline of each petal. The
petals are crowded little at one side
to allow three light green leaves to
be painted in. A little white paint is
brushed in at the point of each petal
and the muslin about the edge trimmed
away from them.
The doilies are made in the same
way but on a smaller scale

A convenient gift which will be well
coined by either men or women is a
group of wall pockets for the closet.
A strip of denim or cretonne is cut
as long as the maker may choose
and bound with tape. Strips Of the
material, ranging in width and length
are bound with the tape and a deep
box plat is laid in each one.
These pieces are stitched along
three sides to the plain strip to form
pockets, as shown in the picture
above. The pockets hold slippers,
shoes, rubbers, hosiery, corsets or
small articles for the laundry. Pock-
cts made to extend the length of the
closet door will hold everything which
usually finds place on the floor.

Two squares of figured silkalene are
placed face to face and machine
stitched together in felled seam One
corner is then cut off and the bag and
corner piece turned right side out.
The edges, made by cutting off the
corner, are folded over a small en-
broidery hoop and sewed down. The
bag is suspended by means of fold
of the silkalene, with edges machine
stitched together and ends sewed to
each side Of the opening.
The corner that was cut away Is
stuffed with cotton or sawdust and
bound with tape, making a cushion for
darning needles. A little piece of
tape is sewed to one edge of it and to
the bag, attaching it to the opening.
This provides receptacle for hosiery
that needs darning.

fault, having left France fourteen
days before Germany declared war,

gun foundations in his works In
France. and with having constructed
along an important line of railroad,
installations destined to facilitate an
aIdacious coup by enemies of France
This. it is said. was prevented by the
minute precautions taken by the
French military authorities as soon
as the mobilization was foreseen.
Hochel is also charged with having

WANTED TO Deny
BELGIANS right
TO WEAR COLORS
lBy ASSOC ated Pressl

AMSTERDAM Central Won Kra-
well, military commander of Brussels,
has been. recalled to Berlin as the re-
suit, ii is reported, of disagreement
with General Won Kissing as to the
administration of affairs in the one
time Belgian capital. The former. 1t
is said, was in favor of conciliating
the Belgian population, while Won Bis
sing believed in a stricter discipline.
Matters came to crisis when the
Government issued an order that no
Belgian should be allowed to wear the
Belgian or allied colors. Won Krawell
protested that such a measure could
be of no possible benefit, and would
merely irritate the populace. He de-
clined to put the order into effect,
whereupon Won Kissing asked Berlin
tu recall the commander.

STEEL HELMETS PROVE
GREAT AS LIFE SAVERS
(By Associated Press)

DUNKlRK, France. Steel helmets
have now been in use sufficiently long
in the French army to prove that they
are useful prreection to infantrymen.
They have saved large number of
men in the front trenches from being
either wounded or killed by sharpnel
fire and have effectively warded off
the side-strike of rifle bullets.
The soldiers are enthusiastic about
there use, and the delay anticipated
in turning them out is partly overcome
by sthe fact that they are only used
in the firing line and supporting tren-
'ches.
1t is officially stated that the thin
chrome steel helmets cost less than
seven cents each.
