The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1917-12-07

Here Is a skating set that will add
one more fascination to that whole
some and fashionable sport. Japan
had hand in it's making, for it is dec
grated with hand-painted ornaments
that are specimens of the beautiful
handicraft of that hand-crafty people,
and with applique of light green satin
bordered with silver threads. If this
was not woven in Japan its design GER
tainly originated there.
The cap and scarf are made Of satin
In a very soft rose color, to begin with.
At the ends of the scarf and in front
Of the cap there are emplacements Of
5rocade as shown in the picture. On
the scarf ends the brocade is sewed
along the edges to the scarf with long
stitches of heavy, gray .angora yarn.
Then the entire surface Of the scarf is
covered with parallel rows of these
long stitches. They veil the rose color
with mist of gray, because Of the
fuzziness of the yarn, and the effect
is beautiful.
The scarf is about two yards long
and in the neighborhood of seven
inches wide, wrapped about the neck
SO that the novel hand-painted orna-
ment comes in front. 1t is made of sew
eral small oblongs of celluloid appar-
emily, in graduated sizes, and one
posed over the other. They are very
much like the rose-colored satin in
shade, and the uppermost oblong has
meaningfui and weird looking pic
ture painted on it in several colors.
It might be a landscape-upside down
or a scrap of sky and clouds. What

ever it is, the smiling Japanese shop
keeper assures our honorable stupid
ity that it is good luck to wear such
an ornament. When it is to be found
on skating set like that shown here,
there is no doubt that he speaks the
truth.
The cap fastens with a chin strap
that extends from side to side, made Of
the satin and angora. It is sewed to
the inside of the cap on one side and
fastens with strap fastener on the
other. The satin is caught UP at the
front of the cap revealing the green
brocade, and held to place by two Of
those lucky ornaments. Both strap
and cap are lined with the soft rose
cOlored satin.

watched each other. 1t was impossible
that Ida could help understanding the
meaning of the sounds without.
She came close to Donald. Forgive
me for what said, DEAR" she whis-

He patted her arms without speak

tower again. It was preferable that
they should die, If they must, by suf-
location, rather than in the nav of
the monsters. Inclosed within those
stout walls Of steel, they could at least
hope to find perpetual tomb there.
The pressure was still increasing
The floor of the coming tower began
to tilt. Surely this was the endi

their utter amazement, a white light

Donald grasped at Davies. Davies

There was no doubling 1t. The
moonlight flooded the interior Of the
tower, and before their eyes, seen
through the port. were'the rugged out
lines of Fair island. The monsters
must have raised the submarine by the
united force Of their massed bodies.

Afloat and Ashore.
He must have fallen into light dOze
at last, for he awakened to find Davies
at his side. The middy's voice cleft
the thick darkness like knife.
"We're done for, old mani" he whis-
pered. "We'd better not awaken her.
Listeni"
Heretofore no sound from without
had penetrated the thin plates of the
submarine, but now Donald distinctly
heard cracking noise, as If some
pressure were being exerted against
the sides of the vessel.
"We're breaking up, sir"
"YOu mean-w
''It's that gang of devils, Donald. Do
you mind letting me grip your arm a
minute, sir? It's in way disturbing"
The sounds grew louder. The plates
were grooming under pressure, and it
seemed every instant that the rivets
would start and the water rush in.
.It's the weight of the ocean over
US, Davies" said Donald, without the
faintest faith in this diagnosis.

Donald was silent. He would not

vies, but himself also. The sea mon
sters must be pushing against the bot
tom of the F55, to break her by their

rem solitudes of darkness, they were
frenzied army of destruction.
He wondered whether Clouts' act
was in any way the cause Of this new
activity.
The pressure increased. The steel
plates cracked as trees snap in zero
weather.
Donald looked up and saw Ida
standing in the doorway.
"Is anything wrong?" she asked,
coming forward to Donald.
He could not answer her, and she
did not repeat the question, but stood

Joined Forces.

A woman. who had been given a
quantity of square dollies three and
four inches square, put them to good
service by joining them together with
wide lace and using them on her
buffet; she objected to using them sep
arately and was highly pleased with
the scarf that resulted from Joined
forces.
Squares of tan linen embroidered In
colors can be Joined effectively tc
form table runners. OF course, the
lace should match the color of the
linen. If You should fail to find tan to
match. dip white or cream lace in tea

can tell II the tea is Of the proper
strength.

A combination of smooth-faced tan
or sand-colored cloth with fine Hudson
seal. removes some of the difficulties
which lie in the path of the designers
of coats. When the task is to achieve
n handsome coat for general wear the
designer knows to start with that no
color is a better choice than tan, and
no fur looks better with it than, seal,
they belong to one another.
Having this assurance as to pleas
ing color, the creator of new coats
must show his ability, by original
methods of cutting and deft use of
new style features, In lines and In de-
tails of finishing. Whoever planned
the coat pictured here betrays mas
terful hand IN these particulars. The
coat is plain and full, with fashionable
straight lines. Its fullness is clever
ly managed by the insertion of three
plaits at each side, back of the peck
cts. They are hardly to be noticed,
being overshadowed by very large
double pockets--an arrangement of
big square seal orer n larger square
of cloth. There Is high, square col
lar of the fur, and another Of fashions
favorite vagarles appears in the half
belt thae extends across the front of
the coat. It widens at the center. de-
parting from the straight and narrow
path of the usual belt, and fastens at
the left with buttonhole ana bone but

Plain coat sleeves rely upon their
cuffs for the stamp CT originality.
These are merely straps whose ways
are devious. but never asunder. They
are placed side by side: the career Of
each ended by an memorable bone but
ton and buttonhole that holds them
fast. These are the mannerisms Of
an exceptionally clever performer, and
they are also the delight of culti-
waited taste in apparel.
