SOX BEGIN TWO-GAME SERIES
WITH CLEVELAND
BY Mark Shields


Too much should not be expected
of the White SOx in their twO-day
stand on the home lot against the
Cleveland Indians. The time is too
abbreviated for the South Side ath-
Ietes to brighten up their batting
eyes and an even break will be quite
encouraging.
Manager Rowland had every man
out at the park this morning and put
each through a hard drill facing
pitchers. Especial attention was paid
to Ed Murphy and Jack Fourier, the
manager sending a Tight-handed
pitcher against each. Jack Ness and
John Collins were instructed only
against the slants of Dave DanfOrth,
a sOUthpaw.
For once more Rowland has signi-
fed his intention Of working a shift
in two positions when the opposition
switches from left to Tight-handed
pitching. This was a plan Of some
days ago that did not go through,
Murphy and Fourier being allowed
to start in Washington against a
southpaw, with disastrous results.
One days batting practice, how
ever, is not sufficient for the SOX at
the present moment. Their real i'm
provement should come after the re-
turn from Detroit, for which point
they leave tomorrow night. After
that visit there will be calls from all
the eastern teams.
A team on the road has no oppor-
tunity for batting exercise except
during the game, and for that reason
the slump of club travelling is very
difficult to break up. In the Washing
ton series, though no advance was
made, the club fought for what it got
and did not play with the lackadais-
ical spirit that marked its earlier en-
deavOrs in the east.
Eddie Collins is making a better

trains. Possibly the upper arm OF the
Empress Josephine had lost its beauti-
full shoulder line, and the short pulled
sleeve Of the first empire was added
to the newly evolved style because Of
this fact.
In any event, f~rst-emplre styles are
adopted cousins, If not actual blood re-
%latlons, of the classic Greek dress, and
the Empress Josephine is credited with
this family intermlngling.
The sketch gives a suggestion for a
Grecian style wedding gown. Ivory

tiful Grecian pattern embroidery done
in silver thread on the tunic. bodice
and train. The sleeves are of geor-
gette, rs obviously the sleeveless gown
of the pure Grecian period would hard
ly be advised for a twentieth century
bride.
The small sketch is an exact line-for-
line copy of a first empire frock. In
the high and clearly defined waistline
one may trace the handlwork of the
Empress Josephine, as In her addi-
ton and subtraction methods of style

costume into one that would go down
In history as of first empire.

Ways Of E~conomizing Space.

When two persons are compelled to
share a single room dissatisfaction
generally prevails. But not long ago
1 visited a home in which this prob
lem was admirably solved, writes NJ.
E. Brooks In the Chicago Herald.
In the largest chamber of the house
two closets had been built OF opposite
sides of the room intended for two
occupants. This was excellent, so far
as it went, but the dominating fea-
ture of the arrangement was a double
dresser affair made of two plain enam-
eled chests of drawers, a broad board
and a long mirror. The board was
bracketed to the wall like a shelf,
about halfway up between the two
chests, and the mirror hung just above
1t. This gave a very good-looking as
well as a very convenient dressing ta-
BILE, in which the belongings of each
occupant might be kept separate.
AS the house was without a bath,
two small. inexpensive washstands of
white enamel were placed In opposite
corners. Twin beds also were In
stalled, 30 there was no excuse Of fric-

TWO WAYS OF SAVING MONEY
English Method Of Handling Bread at
the Table 10 Worth Consideration
Home Baking.

In most English homes 1t is the Gus
tom to put the loaf of bread on the
table to be cut as needed, and every
family has its more or less handsome
ly carved bread board. matching the
handle of the good English steel bread
knife. Where this usage prevails, few
IL any odd bits of bread find their way
back into the bread box or jar to be
overlooked, p~erchance, until they are
mOldy themselves and have contami-
mated the rest of the contents. Is not
this a practice worth considering, and
perhaps adopting, in many a home to-
day, when the cutlery at the rise In the
bakers prices is so general and so
Loud?
An even more effective economy is
wrought whenever the housewife I'M
dertakes to bake her own bread in
stead of buying the product at the
great bakeries. Not only will each loaf
she makes cost distinctly less than she
has paid for the same weight, but If
she uses a good -four, and especially
entire wheat -four, the amount of nu-
triton will be incomparably greater
than they have enjoyed before.
Home baking need have no terrors
for any woman of average intelligence,
especially if she can afford one of the
patent bread kneaders which reduce
both time and effort to a very mod
crate amount.

Chop fine four maraschlno or candied
cherries and eight or ten pecan nuts

three small heads of tender lettuce,

may stand. Dispose the heads on in
dividual plates with an apple in the
enter of each. Mix the cherries and
put through the prepared cream and

To Hold Ferns or Plants.

Those of our readers who have not
tried their hands at making pretty lit
tie rustic baskets for ferns or plants
will find 1t amusing and interesting
work and very easy to do. These bas-
kets a be made in any size; they are
composed of a number of short twigs
of wood left in their natural state with
the bark upon them.
To make the bottom of the basket,
nail four twigs together in the manner
shown in diagram A. Then near each
end Of the lower twigs make holes with
a sharp bradawl and from underneath
run wires through, and upon these
wires thread two more twigs, with the
result shown in diagram B. Further
twigs, with holes made through each
end, are added, and in that way the
sides of the basket are built up. After
this has been accomplished, the ends
Of the wires are carried above the

Struggles for Supremacy.

There are several struggles going on
In the world of dress. One has to do
with the elimination of the short, far
ing skirt for evening wear and the sub
stitution of the tight clinging skirt
that graduates into a long train at the
back. Another struggle is between the
elimination of the Anglo-Saxon uniform
known as the coat suit and the substi-
tuition of the one-piece frock topped by
a splendid o%vercoat.
No matter where you go among the
dressmakers and the shops these strug-
giles are presented to you for individual
settlement.
However, the best guess in fashion
and in the art Of dressing is to have a
plain mannish coat suit for the street,
with a simple blouse and whatever fur
around the neck n a afford, and a
top coat Of some kind that can be worn
oyer q thin one-piece frOck.

Grecian and Empire Close OF Kin.
RODS" that the fact that they are &C.
tually close of kin, branches of the

ognized.
The Empress Josephine, wife of the
great Napoleon, was during the days
of her youth and first beauty absolute

beautiful fabrics and garments of all
kinds that were different. On n oc-

the idea of the classic Greek dress

and at a temperature of 100 to 30 degrees below zero. The desired warmth,
he says can be obtained by a solution of ne pound of lime and eight ounces
of water. This warmth will prevent a hydrogen tank from freezing, he says,
and therefore will provide the necessary air for the aviator.

Beads Used in Embroidery.

The new embroidery is done in beads
and it is really far more interesting
than ordinary embroidery or other
fancy work. For the beads are full
of color, and, what Is more, bead en-
b~roidery progresses so rapidly that
there is no danger of becoming impa-
tient for results.
Bead embroidery can be done on
bags or on frocks or on hats-and in
all these guises it is effective.
When you go to a shop to buy beads
for embroidering you may possibly
think you have landed in an apOthe-
cary shop, for there the beads will be,
ranged in neat rows in small pill bot
tles-just like so many small pink and
blue and green and yellow and purple.
pills, all packed into tiny bottles.
So you will buy bottles of pills for
embroldering-as many bottlefuls as
you wish, of course, for the particular
design you have in mind. And with
your workbag filled with bead bottles
you can go about the design you wish
TO carry out.

interesting work for a beginner, for
in n really short time you can work
out an effective design for a silk bag.
When you get a little more expert
you can bead velvet bags, and perhaps
the next thing will be a beaded band
for a hat. If you have much daring,
you might try to make a beaded land
scape for a hat band, for such a band
appears ON a very smart hat model.
Then you can get to work on a bead
ed embroidery design for a frock of
serge or velvet or silk, and before you
know it you will be an expert bead
embroidery worker.
