The making Of bandages is very IN

little girl. All that is necessary Is a
small machine, for rolling which is
not very expensive This machine is
essential, for nurses and physicians
cannot use the hand-rolled bandages,
as they are not sufficiently firm or
even. There IS a greater need Of
bandage rolls than Of any other sin

many Of them.
The bandage rollers range In price
from s175 to $275, and are simple

rod, ends and a handle for turning
The bandage rolls may be three or

stitch is hard to do, requiring only a
certain amount of patience and care
in taking the stitches and proper
judgment in selecting the material.

wounded soldiers, perhaps you
will be gratifed to learn Of ways into
which their little services may count
for real effectiveness. For there
are many things OF exceeding sim
plicity, which are greatly needed by
the Red Cross and other relief so
cieties. and which the child can well
DO.
Perhaps the point TO FIX In mind
firmly before choosing what shall be
made, is how Il is to be made. The
pattern should not be too large or
small for possible use. The mate

To Complete the Glory Of the Bed Room
Lovely Linens That Harmonic with Furnishings for
All Seasons of the Year

For eyelet work Il Is necessary to
have fine thread and fine needle, as
the object is not to have q heavy
raised cord around the eyelets, but a
fine, almost invisible line Of firm
close stitches holding the eyelet in
shape without being conspicuous
In. cutting an eyelet, the linen is
not cut away, but is merely slit, after
the edges are run, and then turned
back on the under side to the stamp
ed line and the edges worked over
and over with very short tight stitch

close together. it is well to run all
the petals before any are cut, and, to
insure their being regular, the thread
should be run twice around each
eyelet, letting the second row of

Therefore feminine interest inst
now centres In fashions appropriate
for the season. Fewer dark dresses are
displayed in smart shops than were
seen few months ago. and combiaa-
lions are as highly favored as ever
they were.
Wooden materials are getting scarcer

fore many months the abandonment OF
silks will be much cheaper than the
most ordinary Of wOOlens. For the
average woman there Is nothing like
foulard, because it Is Thoroughbred in
appearance, without costing more than
one feels that It is wise to spend on
frock for general wear.
Perhaps the smartest OF the light
colors In foulard is sand, but there are
delightful tones In the kindred shades
OF biege, maize. champagne and ochre,
Dots OF one sort OF another are al
ways among the best Of the foulard
designs and white with dark blue or
vice versa never fails to prove a fav-
orite. Whether it is smart looking or
not depends, of course, upon the man
ner in which It Is handled. but this
season there are numerous simple
models that have a modish air.
Particularly chic Is an afternoon de-
sign in white foulard combined with
the same silk IN dot effect. In addi-
ton to the dots satin threads are
woven through the foulard in winding
effect, giving an unusually novel pat
tern. The dress closes to the left OF
the front under a box plat and a col
lar TO correspond with the skirt and
sleeves finishes the square neck. The
front panel is of dotted foulard and
the lower edge OF the gathered skirt is
trimmed with a deep band of the same.
The sleeves are loose and open. and
despite their lack OF trimming are in

foulard holds in the fulness at the
waist.
There is nothing more fashionable
than oyster white foulard-unless II
be egg shell white. The silk Is used
for a charming dinner frock having
the front and back gathered to a
square yoke. The skirt is a four-piece
model, being gathered and attached to
the waist slightly above normal At
the sides there are large pockets, So
near beach-bag proportions that they
resemble draperies.
A model designed upon new lines es-
pecially for midsummer service is
effectively developed in pale rose vOileI
trimmed with that most favored Of
laces-iiet. A band OF the trimming
appears on the skirt above the deep
hem. also on the flowing sleeves. Filet
forms the collar and trimming for
pockets. Satin binds the large arm

skirt Is attached under a straight
hand OF black velvet ribbon. Filet in

Everyone is knitting nowadays and
a knitting bag is almost as indispen-
sable an adjunct Of the shopping out
fit as the handbag. Beautiful Gre
tonnes, tapestries, brocade silks, ETC.,
are used in the construction OF the
latest knitting bags yet it must be adj
mitted that the prettiest design so
far seen was fashioned in humble
calico. Frocks of union linen are ser
viceable for morning jaunts and they
may be raised 10 the nth degree Of at
tractiveness by a bit Of embroidery, a
few buttons, etc. A model in leaf green
trimmed with black is unusually at
tractive. The skirt is attached to a
simple waist under a girdle OF black
catin tied at the left side-back.' Black
satin buttons trim the sleeves and the
embroidery design on the collar Is
developed in green and black mercer
iced cotton.
Although there are many varieties
Of topcoats for midsummer wear, Il is
hard to overcome the Russian infiu-
ence and many pretty separate blouses
are being shown. The newest models
are in taffeta and satin and the dark
blouses with white satin trimmings
are enviously chic. There are also
some good looking designs IN com
binations Of satin and homespun.

uses for Cold Veeetablos.

Where cold vegetables are left over
from a meal, save them carefully. A
spoonful Of tomato may not seem
much, but it is just enough for a to-
mato omelet for breakfast or lunch, or
to use with little spaghetti OF rice
with a grating OF cheese sprinkled
over It and Drowned In the oven.
A few cooked peas are also a savory
addition 20 an omelet. and serve to
form the basis for a delicious cream

Cold string beans are excellent SER

better in a salad. with a sour cream

GENERAL OFFICE Is
AN ORDWAY ASSET

OrdYay possesses an office of which
there has been little said and little
realization of its importance. and
that is the general agency office of
the Northwestern National Life In
sourance Co. D. F. Bartlett is the
general agent for southern Colorado
and New Mexico. The first of this
week meeting was held here at
which some of the general agency
workers and representative Of the
representatives were w. Rolla Will
son of the head office at Minneapolis,
Mimi, w. II. Jones, supervisor, and
G. E. Goodell. both of Pueblo; and
e. A. Leavenworth. They met at the
Office here with d. F. Bartlett the
general agent.
The fact that a general agency Is
located in a town no larger than
Ordway is unusual. This company
as all other large insurance COM
panies, have their offices of this ma
ture in larger cities so this gives Ord
way a distinction seldom possessed
by the smaller towns. This came
about because of the advancement
of Mr.. Bartlett to the position, and
his acceptance of the advanced po-
sition with the understanding that
this be his headquarters.
The Northwestern National Life
is one of the largest companies doing
business in the United States. 1t is
one of the twenty-five companies
which writes 95 per cent of the bust
ness of the entire country, and 1t
stands well at the head. OF all COM
panies the Northwestern National is
first in assets per dollar of liabilities.
It's increase in assets was the largest
for 1915 over that of 1914, being
double in per cent of most Of the
companies. 1t is second of all COM
panies in net interest earned, and has
