Those who do fancy work will soon
be looking for something to while
away the hours in the garden or on

times.

before attempting the more intricate
floral and conventional designs.
Initials in flet are considered a
very smart decoration for household
linens. as sheets, the best towels,
pillow slips. tea and sideboard

nonsense TO put rich lace there,
since II is always more or less con.

my thinking the combination of
linen and lace is often more attrac-
tive than all lace. The latter shows
of better as a border to the linen.
Experienced lace workers can
make their own background. but the
safer plan Is to buy the flet net. It
is cut into the desired size and

SWING AT IOWA CITY
DIs Parade Held Yesterday by caval-
~ Squadron Of Four Troops
Strictly Business.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Aug 1s.-Camp
Howell located on Manville Heights,
overlooking the west bank Of the
Iowa river, opened army duty for
its 1900 militiamen in-full swing yes
terday morning, with the blowing OF
the flrst reyeille.
From now on, the camp work will
be In earnest. The ssoldiers, from
the first assembly call in the morning
to taps in the evening;t will be kept
constantly at work, practicing the
various drills, learning, scouting, and
receiving Instruction inS the usages OF
war.
Tuesday morning fhe feature Of
the schedule was a parade by the cav
airy squadron of four troops, lead by
the Ottumwa band. Amidst the
strains Of martial music and the
Ehouting OF the, officers commands,
It was stirring sight to witness the
long line Of horsemen when on the
sssAd, divide and join again. sweep for
Gard In q mass and then separate
once more into a long winding col
umn across the parade grounds.
The cavalry, in drill, appears even
more spectacular than does a regi-
nient Of infantry, as the men and
their horses combine to make fine
picture.
The parade was not show affair
or for the purpose of the public, but
was more in the nature of a school,
the regular army officers giving the
troops instructions in the more intri.
cate movements on the field.
In the afternoon the main part OF
the time was devoted to scouting and
maneuvering in the vicinity of the en-
campment, giving work for two hours
10 all the men in camp. After six
o'clock, the men are free for the day
and are allowed to go at liberty, com
ing to the city with leave.
The commanders of the different
camps are ct work, planning out the
