UnQu6 Proposal TO LQuddt6 Old Virginia Debt In 10 Years

West Virginia got value received; wheth-

MAKE USE OF SEALING WAX
Material May Be Employed in the Con-
structlon Of Many Little knick-
Knacks for the Home.

Do you know how to use sealing wax
to beautify yourself and your house?
No Well II is new art, but 1t is one
worth mastering.
With sealing wax OF various colors,
some shoe buttons, little lamp and
small metal dish or ladle you can make
very attractive "enameled" buttons for
your new chiffon blouse. Melt some
pink and blue and green and gray wax
in the ladle, without mixing them very
thoroughly, and dip the buttons in.
Then let them dry and you will see
that you have some lovely round but
tons with almost opalesque coloring.
or suppose you want pair OF pins
for a baby's frock and do not feel in
clined to pay $3.50 for the blue enam-
eled sort you desire. Buy a stick OF
the lovely paleblue sealing wax and a
lO-cent pair OF pins az the notion coun.
ter. melt the wax carefully so that 1t
does not scorch to darker shade and
dip in the pins. Dry-and presto! you
have the enameled baby's gift you de-
sired.
Perhaps you want a string Of beads
You can make them. too. OF sealing
wax You can dip wooden beads-the
kind that come for children TO string
on stout thread-in gold sealing wax,
and when they have dried you can dip
half of each bead in again. and let
that dry. and then put just a little Of
the beads surface In again, and so
work up bead of irregular shape, like
the lovely Venetian beads OF glass and
gold. You can use other colors. too.
with the gold, for different effects.

No, this does not mean hours OF
tedious eyestrain and miles OF fine
white stitches. Some OF the newest
embroidered hats are quite simple af
fairs. You may use braid. beads, cot.
ton or wool. How would you like q
white ratine sailor hat. with the ma
terial stretched quite tightly over a
buckram frame, and then how would
you like to take bright red, yellow
and green wools and darn an occa.
sional rose over the white ratine sur,
face? The result will more than re.
pay the few hours work Or how
would you like a floppy peanut straw
around the crown OF which someone
had appliqued large, Juicy roses cut
from cretonne? You can have one ex.
actly like 1t, and so will every other
girl OF the sewing circle when they
see yours!

ANS GROWING GLORY.
Americans Might With Profit Follow
the Lead OF Their French Sisters
In the Matter Of Suitable
Millinery.

II used to be said that woman's
crowning glory was her hair Perhaps
there have been times when this was
true. when luxuriant tresses were at a
premium, as they were worn flowing
or In braids whose length and thick
ness were subject for envy. hatred
and malice among those whose hair
did not possess these attributes.
Nowadays, however, when we fold
oil the locks we own into the small.
est possible compass. pin them down
and restrain them with nets and combs
woman's crowning glory might more
truly be said to be her hat The old
saying is still useful II 1t draws at
tention to the importance OF the proper
dressing Of the head and emphasizes
the balanced relation between gown
and headgear.
We sometimes tire Of hearing eter-
nally Of the superiority OF French
women in matters OF dress. Stout
champions In this country are begin

praise would be. and IT is unnecessary
for the improvement in the art OF

In this country that our women actual
ly begin to dream OF wrestling the palm
from their French cousins who have
borne 1t for so long.
There is still one detail OF the sci.
ence of clothes, however, in which the
French surpass us in which their su.
premacy is unchallenged. That is the
way in which they hat themselves.
There has been improvement on our
side of the water In this respect also.
but oh dear, there Is room for lot
more. There are now fewer women
who keep a veil tied around their hat,
and, on going out don everything at
