small gilt cord and white and green
water color paints. 1t consists of a
centerpiece and twelve doilies to

lied chrysanthemum design. The
doilies are small replicas of the CEN

lin for the centerpiece and a 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 centerpiece
with white paint and the tiny gilt
cord is sewed with yellow silk thread
along the outline of each petal. The
petals are crowded a 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 smaller scale.

Roll for Doilies of Cretonne

A dolly roll makes pretty gift
for the housewife and Is useful to her
in more ways than one. 1t keeps her
doilies fresh and easy to get at. Moth
ing is easier to make, and very few
equally pretty gifts cost so little.
The rolls are usually made in two
lengths, one for centerpieces and
one for doilies. To make one a
strong pasteboard tube, such as
used for mailing is procured. Circular
pieces of cretonne are stretched over
tee ends and pasted down on the
roll.
A strip of the cretonne as wide
as the tube is long is then cut off of
any length desired. One end of this
strip is trimmed in a curve and the
other left straight. The curved end
and sides of the strip are bound with
tape.
The straight end is pasted to the
roll, the cretOnne wound once about
it and sewed down to form casing
for it. Ribbon ends are sewed to the
curved end OF cretonne to form ties
for fastening 1t when the dOilies have
been rolled.
The cretonne used to make the roll
shown in the picture is a striped pat
tern with small flowers scattered over
the surface. Dark backgrounds with
gay flowers make rolls that do not
soil easily. The ribbon used should
match the flowers or foliage In the
pattern.

EXPENSES
RUN BEHIND RECEIPTS
Average Daily Loss to General Fund
More Than Half a Mil
lion Dollars.

Since the first day Of September there
have been only two days on which the
receipts of the federal government
have exceeded expenditures. Daily ex-
cesses of expenditures over receipts in
that period have varied from about
$4,000 to more than s1,600,000. Since
the first day of September the average
daily loss to the balance of the gen.
eral fund has been over half mlihon
a day for each week day.
The working balance in the general
fund was down to $44,726,320.1S at close
of business yesterday. daily average
loss of three-quarters of a million since
September 49, when the balance was
just few thousand dollars less than

ceipts during the past few days ind1-
Gates that the daily loss is increasing.

Even at the rate of half a million a

the general fund would be wiped out

What measures will be taken to pre-
