The Old Year Out;
The New Year In.

Few people anywhere probably saw
the year 1914 out with many feelings
OF regret. II was q year which the
United States and the world viii long
remember as ono that brought more
trouble than any one OF it's predeces-
pors had ever witnessed. The year is
now gone and most Of M will say
we arc glad Of It.
All Of as therefore welcome the new

thus keep at home the millions of dol

the sole dependence OF any farmer has
heretofore been on one crop, that
farmer must hereafter diversity his

almost unable to help himself So be-
numbed was he that lie mad to be sup

tomobile, a few steps nearby. He was
locked up in the county Jail yesterday
afternoon, and during the remainder
of the day was gradually ''thawed"
out, this state being reached after he
had been given several drinks of WINS

some hours in d coupe of blankets
and had remained very near a heater

himself to be taken, and him, wheel,

The wheel has been identified as the
stolen property as described by Mr..

WHEN AN ICEBERG COLLAPSES
Event Always Source of Great Dan.
ger to Craft That May Be in
the immediate Vicinity.

One OF the main dangers in the
proximity Of an iceberg is its I'M
known extent beneath the water. It
is told that the passengers OF steam
boat on the Newfoundland coast sue
cessfully importuned the captain to
approach an iceberg for close in
spection. says a writer in the Wide
World. While still apparently suffi-
ciently distant for safety some move

acted upon the berg, and it split
apart. Instantly it began to readjust
its balance. The tremendous masses
beneath the water steadily rose as the
pieces swung over. and one wide cx-
tending ledge came up beneath the
boat What shall we do now?" in
quired tourist Get down on your
knees" was the terse reply OF the
captain. But the great wave from the
tumbling ice swept down on the boat
and washed 1t to safety.
The collapse of an iceberg spreads
danger to great distances. 1t may be
too far distant to threaten a craft
itself, but the wave It raises will
swamp the largest boat in the imme-
date neighborhood.

S!x-POlNTED LUNCH CLOTH
New idea Bids Fair to Be Popular
With the Woman Who Does
Much Entertaining.

Our eyes have long been accus-
toned to seeing the two-pointed and
the four-pointed luncheon cloth. but
the cloth having six points is some
thing new. Don't let the word point
mislead you. The six extensions do
not run off to points. Instead they
are rectangular In shape. The cen
ter cloth on display was ornamented
with three punches Of daisies. the
group being connected with a line OF
tiny dots which called for French
knots. On each rectangular shape a
spray of a few knots were embroid'
cred. The centers of the flowers we're
also filled in with French knots. The
tiny petals were padded and worked
in the satin stitch. The stems Of the
flowers were outlined while the seal
lops around the points were worked
solid in the buttonhole stitch. Be-
tween the six points were placed six
tumbler doilies, each ornamented
with a spray of flowers and crescent
of French knots.

ficient material
The shape of the pillow is round and
measures 20 inches in circumference.
To make the slip requires two rounds
OF silk. each measuring eight inches.
These form the centers back and front
and are connected by three strips Of
silk, not necessarily OF the same color.
Two strips must be of the same width
and length and must be cut q few
inches longer than the circumference
Of the rounds One edge is gathered to
fit the rounds and is sewed down. one
to the back and the other to the front
round. The next strip must be longer
than the first two and the same width
or not. Both edges are shirred and
are sewed down to the free edges of
the strips already secured to the
rounds. This creates a kind of round
ed. slightly puffy looking cover. OF
course. if one has sufficient silk Of one
color three strips of uniform width
of four inches would cut all the
strips. If scraps on hand must be
used up it might happen that the CEN
ter strip must be wider or narrower
than the two they connect. This is
immaterial. All that is necessary Is to
get a strip II inches wide after the
three are joined. In putting strips of
silk OF different color together they
should contrast or harmonic.
Next comes the decoration. This
may be anything the maker pleases. A
square of gold lace trimmed around
with a narrow frill of the same lace is
very effective over bright cover. A
dolly in cluny lace, ornamehted with
chiffon rosebuds, is another textbook
ing combination.
Those making up pillows may like to
know that the round, the egg-shaped
and the oblong are the favored mod
els. The square pillow is considered
out Of date. One OF the most popular
shapes is fashioned exactly like a min
iature bolster. 1t is very comfort

USE OF DETACHABLE LINING;
Careful Dresser VIII See ts-e Advan-'
tsges That Come From This
Simple Precaution.

The careful woman viii find ii ad-
visabie to instruct her seamstress to.
make a detachable lining of fine net
or habutai silk to wear beneath the,
blouse, OF georgette crepe, of radi-,
um or OF some one of the new striped
silks. Such a foundation should have
sleeves rather loosely shaped and
terminating just above the elbow. In
warm weather the perspiration across
the back and on the arms is apt to
stain or fade the fine material OF the
outer garment
The lining should be made separate
~ aud then loosely tackled to the in
side of the blouse about the neck and,
shoulders. 1t will then be easily re
moved for a visit to the laundry or
for other renovation. Two Innings
for flne waist are better than one,
because this insures greater preser-
walton of the outer fabric through
cleanliness of the inner, and while
one lining is being Numbered the 9TH
er may be readily adjusted to the
blouse. This same idea applies to-
the frock OF silk or of satin. or
course. it is not advisable where the
outer fabric is OF sheer material like
organdie. thin voile or kindred ma.
terials.
Allowance should be made for
shrinkage when making up a new

skirt the material may be turned
