The instant death of a guard at the
Corona, California, race recently only
serves to emphasize the risk involved
in this thrilling sport. The protec-
tion of the spectators at the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway has been
worked to a nicely through the &C
cumulated experience of Captain Will
liam P Carpenter, who has charge of
the guards at the Indianapolis track.
One would think that punitive ex-
petition was on its way to capture a
bandit could one see Captain Carpen-
ter's khaki clad soldiers marching five
miles west of indianapolis to encamp
few days before the May 80 event.
Every regulation of soldier life is
strictly adhered to; tents are pitched,
patrols established and rigid military
tactics are in vogue. The care for
the tremendous throng of specta-
tors is a herculear task, but is done
with such apparent ease and so effort
less that one is unconscious of its
magnitude.

GOLDEN NEEDLES
Thsy Were Used When GsIlants ss
France Did Fancy Work.

During the old regime in France,
about which so much glamour re-
mains to Us, the very men who were
living and making the history of the
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time in way that seems to Us OF
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
cd themselves the men seem to hays
taken part.
Poinsinet in one Of h.s comedies
represents young marquis enter
ing a room where two far damsels
are embroidering. One is working
q piece OF dress trimming, the other
a Marty founce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eve Of q
eonnoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
IS too polite to notice any defects.
Ee takes a little gold tube out o:
the pocket of his richly decorated
waistcoat and selects dainty gold
needle. Re goes to the frame at
which Cidalise Is working and fin
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, selling one end of the
founce, assists Ismene, to whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time it was the custom of
the ladies invariably to carry their
vorkbags with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
Gentlemen also carried deftly en-
broidered little bags into company,
which held 'a whole arsenal of cut
lery and fancy articles, such IS
boxes of different shapes filed with
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent"
at another period the fsshicn of
the day was to cut out drawings
from books and pamphle;4 sna 70
paste them on screens, lamp thades
boxes and vases. The skill In this
was to so arrange the drawings or
parts of different drawings as to
produce q curious or amusing e.
feet. Then there came a season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave a peculiarly
good opportunity to exercise the
light and rapid Wit so conspicuous
in the French. Every evening the
drawing rooms were converted into
impromptu charades. Some lady
would suggest word or phrase, and
forthwith it would be converted into
the subject of sprightly little play.
Many Of the word games now cur-
rent with us in America had their
origin in the necessity the French
salons were under in the last CEN
tury to divert themselves. In some
of the salons the fashion Of keep
ing a daily chronicle of news, which
was too often a mere chronicle Of
scandal, was adopted Nine. Dou-
blet de Persan issued bulletins
which she called "noavelles a Ia
main" In her apartments two reg
isters were kept, one OF ne authen-
tic news received here an there by
her guests, the Of r OF coating ru-
nors and on dts. and -om these
the budret Of her chronicle was
made up and circulated throughout
France--Appietoo 1eatine.
