 HARRY X. TRAV
Associated PTess)

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-The where abouts of Harry K Thaw continues to be mystery. The local police and state officials have searched for him everywhere without result, al though the search is still being con tinued. The district attorney eX- presses the opinion that Thaw has sought refuge at the maternal Thaw home at Pittsbulg, where he is I1l- der the protection of the family and where he is being advised by counsel as to what course to pursue in his present trouble.
 A man was arrested in Phila- delphia last night under the supposi- ton that he was George O'Bryan, the bodyguard of Thaw, who is i'm plicated in the kidnapping which caused Thaw to flee from justice It developed, however, that the man was not O'Bryan, but Oliver Brow CT, who is also associated with Thaw. Grower was released in Philadelphia under bonds of $1,2O0 before the dis. trict attorney here learned of his arrest and sent an order that he be held pending the official investi- gation of the alleged kidnapping schemes. For from the evidence which has been collected, 1t seems that Thaw, Brewer and OBryan were interested together in a gigantic kid mapping scheme the object of which has not yet been discovered
 Like Thaw and O'Bryan, Brewer cannot now be located by the au- Jhorities. On his person, when he vas arrested in Philadelphia, docu- ,nents were found relating to Thaw's relations with Fred Gump. the nine ,een-y -year-old boy whom Thaw is al eged to have kidnapped and whip .Jed, Letters written by Thaw to numerous of his friends, asking them f they could find petitions for young ooys, were also found by the Phila- Ielphia police on Broweg's person aft T they first made his arrest.

 The rag Tug is made on a hand loom. and new material may be com Jined with old. In such cases the yloth is torn into strips and woven with the rags regardless of color, or dyed to match any shade selected. A blue or purple border and white cen- ter give a pleasing effect About two and a half pounds of rags, or rom five to seven yards of new material, are required to weave d .ard of rug.
 Braided or plaited rugs also have .eturned to a high position in the
 steem of the homemaker. These seem to find most favor in the round shapes, a pretty color combination being obtained by the use Of one blue and two white stripes alternate ly Greens in two shades are desiI able for porches, and reds and blacks md blues or old rose are suitable or living rooms.
 Crocheted rugs resemble the braid ed variety in appearance. They are nost often made of outing flannel or ther soft material crocheted with ,ouble stitch over rope and sewed ogeher,

LIE ETICuETTE OF

THE ETIQUETTE OF
 LEAKING SOCIAL CALLS
 Calling customs have bccoEo very much s.mpiiHed during the last few years. and today it IS necessary to remember only few rules in order sa do the right thing. There was t.mo and not so very many roars lack ,i:ler. when verl,anl, ~. lanche of cards descended upon hostess with every call made x, wonder that the caller became a bit confused as 10 the correct number gf card- 10 leave. but today all that .yrmallty has been done away with, and as few cards as possible are left n friends hall table
 Do..ra takinp up the actual lea, na Of cards. lct.us discuss first the best hours for calling. In the city he correct hours ale in the after noon. and any time between three od Ha,l-past five.
 Morning calls are not in vogue. houeh lt is permissible for a woman call on a stranger before noon for he purpose of investigating a se~ ants recommendation though this 5u mess is, as a rule transacted to- lay over the telephone to ask he woman of the house to serve or s committee for charity work. Also al1s made 10 ask after the health 5G d sick friend usually take place the morning. All three of these .alls should be made as short as possible, and as soon as ones bust- 1eas is stated a departure should be made,
 A great many women to save them elves the annoyance of having friends drop in on them when un prepared fer visitors set aside a cer- ain day or days in the month that
 re known as their days at home III friends should call on these days [ it is possible to d. 5v.
 Of course these rules do not hold rood where men are concerned. They are usually too busy for daytime aling. and perform this social func- ion on weekday evenings as well s Sunday afternoons. Any time setween halfpast eight and nine in he evening, or three and six or
 unday afternoon are the correct hours.
 Who shall make the first call ia question which perReXes many omen. Of course, brides or stran2 IS newly arrived in the neighbor -ood never make but wait to re seiyc first calls. An unmarried girl houId call first upon a matron, and l younger woman pays this compli nent to an older one, whether both are matrons or single otherwise the natter Is decided by opportunity or inclination.
 It is not a ciyility but a social necessity when one has been an attendant at a wedding. to call upon Ae brides mother shortly after the aodding and to call upon the bride hortly after she returns from her honeymoon. Also, if she has been a guest at a home wedding or at q bridal reception or breakfast call nust be made upon the brides moth .r within a fortnight of the occasion The same rule holds good as to linner or dance invitations, and any Jne who neglects this attention will be considered exceedingly rude.
 Now, as to the number of cards that are to be left. As has been aid before, the majority of calls among women are paid usually on he days at home, and three cards are left by the caller on the tray. 5ne of her own and two of her bus bands.
