IN THE BoUD0IR FURNISHING
Wastebasket, Simple or Elaborate, Is
Something That Must Be Given
Consideration.

The boudoir wastebasket is dainty
thing, and not so impracticable as one
would think it upon first glance. It
may be very simple or 1t may be very
elaborate, according to the time and
material which you have to give to it.
An ordinary wire basket, such as is
used in Offices, of the smallest size, is
best for the purpose, but wicker one
may be used If you already have one
on hand. Cover the outside Of the
basket with silk that In color har-

two to three widths of material may

of the material and the circumference

Not Taught to Spell in Austria.


The search for information on the
pronunciation of some of the strange
ly spelled towns involved in the Euro
pean situation has brought some facts
that throw light on the public policies
pursued by the Austrians towards
those subject to them In this city,
lately, a well appearing, well-to-do SUBJ
ject of Australia Hungary was ap-
preached by man who wanted some
of these jawbreaking words pro-
nounced for him. The Austrian did
not seem to be an ignorant man. He
spoke good English, but he confessed
that he could give no help. Il might
recognize the name of the town II I
heard it spoken" he said. but can
not identify it by the spelling. You
see, we are not taught to spell at
home. and know nothing that will
help."-Philadelphia Record.

Interest in Lonq runIe.

Although many dress skirts are in
circular cut, this is rarely the case
with velvet dresses. as the long tunic
is especially good in velvet. These long
overskirts. as they may be called, re-
quire weight in the cloth to make them
hang gracefully, and are, therefore. an
attractive style for velvet. Circular
skirts are very apt to hang unevenly
in velvet, as the weight of the cloth
drags down the skirt at the sides.

Cunning Ruchinas.

For this fall one sees many a cum
ming little ruche of white or gray
stitched with black and set off in front
with a smart bow of colored ribbon.
These ruchings are diininutive and
are in shape, when extended. much
like slice of melon.
In contrast to the sparsity of ma

capelets which one sees now and then

Many years had passed since Judge
Ostrander had played the host; but he

1t was for him to shoot the bolts and

ciumsily and with such evident aver

there were but few men like him in

he displayed in these multiplied and
extraordinary arrangements for per-

arouse any mans interest.
The sergeant was so occupied by the
mystery of the man and the mystery
of the house that they had passed the
first gate (which the judge had un-
locked without much difficulty before

"NobIesse obIIqe.v

None of us have right to look with
contempt upon those who havo re-
ceived less than ourselves. The
old motto of chivalry, 'noblesse

who by money or social position or
some special talent have an advan.

where the slope was gradual.
This path. and even the bridge itself,
were almost wholly unlighted. They
were seldom used at night-seldom
used at any time. But it was by this
route the judge elected to go into
town; not for the pleasure Of the walk,
as was very apparent from the ex.
IRENE depression of his manner, but
from some inward necessity which
drove him on, against his wishes, pos.
sibly against his secret misgivings.
He had met no one in his short walk
down the lane, but for all that he
paused before entering the path just
mentioned, to glance back and see if
he were being watched or followed.
When satisfied that he was not he
looked up from the solitary waste
where he stood, to the cheerless heav-
ems and sighed; then forward into the
mass of impenetrable shadow that he
must yet traverse and shuddered as
many another had shuddered ere be-
ginning this walk. For 1t was near the
end of this path, in full sight of the
bridge he must cross, that his friend,
Algernon Etheridge, had been set upon
and murdered so many years before;
and the shadow of this ancient crime
still fingered over the spot
Determined not to stop or to cast
one faltering look to right or left, he
hurried on with his eyes fixed upon
the ground and every nerve braced to
resist the influence of the place and
its undying memories. But with the
striking of his foot against the boards
of the bridge nature was too much
for him, and his resolve vanished In
stead of fastening on he stopped, and,
having stopped, paused long enough to
take in all the features of the scene
and any changes which time might
have wrought. He even forced his
shrinking eyes to turn and gaze upon
the exact spot where his beloved AL
gernon had been found, with his sight

WASHINGTON, FEB. 13.-The Ma
tional Forest r Reservation Commission
this week approved the purchase of
35,379 acres, in addition to the / ma
20S acres already approved for ma
tional forests in the White Mountains
OF New England and the southern APP
palachian region. Ofathe total amount
approved 705 acres lies in the Shen-
andoah region, which includes part
Of lands in Virginia and in Pendle-
ton county, w. Va. Thisis an addition
to the 1888 ,9S5 acres already approved
In West Virginia. For many weeks
agents Of the national forest reserve
have been busy throughout; the Shen-
andoah territory acquiring provisional
rights on acreage. This Is in line
with the plan of the commission out
lined few years ago that through
the ownership of 5000, 900 acres in the
southern Appalachians and ia600,0Up
acres inSthe White mountains, the gov
eminent could lead the way to the
right management and use OF these re-
gions. fas SAT- tsi ss
Already the timber in the Virginia
and West Virginia section has been
cut to advantage. The forests ac-
quired consist Of mixed growth Of
hardwoods with pine and hemlock and
much Of the timber thus acquired Is
now saleable at stumpage prices, fully
equal to those paid.
West virginia's share, OF the forest
reserve lands so far, consists of 1882
acres in. Hampshire county, Is ,6s6 in
Hardy county, 1921 in Pendleton
county, 2n,T54 Pocahontas, 57,969 in
Randolph. X, and 250,194 In Tucker
county. All objection which was once
raised against the policy. OF acquisi-
ton OF these lands by the federal gov
eminent was that the government
could. not buy the. land at reasonap.e
prices; that It wonld find that the land
had been picked up in advance BY
spectators. whose interference could
not be eliminated, This difficulty,
though encountered to some extent at
the start. has been overcome by adj
herring strictly to the policy Of buy
ing only at reasonable prices and re-
fusing to buy tracts held under OPP
ton for an advance In price. 80
The average price per acre for the
tracts In West Virginia which have
been approved Is $500, amounting to
a total Of s2ss,s3s.2o. e
