BEAUTY IN THE NEW RIBBONS
AS Attractive and Varied as Any That
Have Been Offered for Fem

Ribbons demand your attention, and
after looking at the newest patterns
there viii be little doubt that they will
get if.
There are shown original effects In
tinsel and metallic threads that will
be excellent for girdles and bags that
coraplete costumes for afternoon and
evening. Flowers that are woven
in rich silks are outlined with
threads in gold or silver, and this is
an addition that gives brightness
to the most neutral colors that might
be used. This is a modified idea OF
popular and expensive last year. The
effect without the price is certainly
an offering for which the makers
should be praised.

When two pieces of fabric are con-

be strongly sewed together and the
stitches covered with cord in color
harmonizing with the material. Old

also finishes the lower edge. Three

COY FOR THE TEAPOT

Directions for Making One Of the Pref
test Are Given Here-Great
Number of Materials That May
Be Used for 1t.

Since the afternoon tea has become
such e. popular form of entertainment
a tea cozy is an actual necessity.
writes Helen Howe in the Washington
Star. Even though the table is
equipped with kettle and alcohol
stove 1t is still necessary to keep the
teapot hot, and here it might be well
to say that when the kettle and tea
caddy are absent the better plan is to
make the tea in an earthen teapot
and place it where it will keep hot
while brewing, which should be from
three to five minutes. Then it should
be poured eff into the company teapot
which has first been made very hot
A second brewing can be made as
wanted. If this plan is followed there
will be no danger of the tea standing
upon the leaves too long. The English
always make it this way. They have
to if they would not poison their
guests, since tea drinking begins about
three and continues until six, visitors
dropping in and out.
A tea coy can be as plain or as
elaborate as the hostess pleases. One
of the most convenient shapes Is the
half circle, and this is very easy to
make at home. The foundation is a
roll of cotton formed into the desired
shape, covered inside and out with
white lawn. Over this comes fancy
outer cover and lining of heavy silk
or flannel for the inside. The outside
may be made of handsome material, as
c DIT of silk brocade, tapestry, en-
broidered cloth or linen, decorated or
stamped velvet or thin silk shirred and
combined with lace motifs.
One of the prettiest models has a
pink silk cover with a putting of the
silk about four inches wide around the
half circle, an embroidered cover be-
lag laced on over the putting. To those
who cannot do the embroidery, but who
would like to have coy on this or
der, l would suggest they buy large
dolly or small center piece of white
linen embroidered in English eyelet

are interested. The feeling we can
understand: the thought---that is, Mrs.
Averills thought-we should do well
to follow.
The one great question which had
agitated her was this Should she trust
the Judge? Ever since the discovery
which had changed Reuther's pros
poets she had instinctively looked to
this one source for aid and sympathy.
But her faith had been sorely shaken
in the interview just related. He was
not the friend she had hoped to find.
He had insisted upon her husbands
guilt, and he had remained unmoved,
or but very little moved, by the dis
appointment of his son--his only re-
naming link to life. Judge Ostrander
might seem cold-both manner and
temper would naturally be much af-

yer. 1t was not in nature for it to
be otherwise. And yet
1t was at this point in her musing
that there came one of the breaks in
her restless pacing. She was always
of an impulsive temperament, and al
ways giving way to it, Sitting down
before paper and ink she wrote the
following lines:
My Darling If Unhappy Child:

1t was not easy for her to sign
herself thus. 1t was a name which
she had tried her best to forget for
twelve long, preoccupied years. But
her purpose had been accomplished,
or would be when once this letter
reached Reuther. With these words
in declaration against her she could
not retreat from the stand she had
therein taken.
She recommended that rapid walk
ing to and fro which was working
such havoc in the nerves of the man
in the room below her. When she
paused it was to ransack trunk and
bring out a fiat wallet filed with news
paper clippings, many of them discol-
ored by time, and all of them showing
marks of frequent handling.
