Stationary Tray Is Useful

The useful stationery tray illustrat-

cardboard boxes, both exactly the
same size and shape. The lid is re-
moved from the front box, the two are
then securely fastened together with
paper fasteners in the name shown
in diagram A. This can be quickly
and easily done, the boxes merely be-
ing placed together and the paper fas-
tcners run through the sides and bent
fiat inside the back box. The dotted
line indicates the way in which the
lidless box should be cut down in
front.
The eyteriors of the boxes are
smoothly covered with cretonne or
silk, the material being turned over
at the edges and underneath, and fas-
tened on with a strong adhesive.
The interior of the boxes are neatly
lined with colored paper cut to fit and
pasted in place.

with sateen, and across the center q

Laces Again to Be Modish

Now that lingerie dresses are again
to be fashionable the use Of fine laces
and embroideries will be in wide evil
dence. There, for a while, we used
but little of these very feminine trim
mings. To be sure, a good deal of EN-
broidery has appeared on dresses,
blouses and, indeed, all manner Of gar
ments during the last several years;
but generally it has been applied by
hand and not inserted after the man
ner of the original method.
The laces which are favored just
now are the italian filet, the Venetian
lace, chantilly and certain of the Span
ish laces. Mostly they are fine in
their tracery or running designs, with
the exception of the filet, which may
be rather heavy in it's darned pattern
and which, to be really charming,
should have picturesque NEUROLOGICAL
or animal characters.
For lace trimming the Valenciennes
or Binche laces are highly priced. OF
course, there are those which are hand
some and others which are machine
made limitations. For those who can
afford it, it is real economy to possess
the handmade product; but there are
excellent copies which, with care, will
last a considerable time.

fragile. Some are seen with machine
outline stitching in contrasting color;
others have peplums to the knees, and
many are the regulation blouses worn
under the skirt. Some Of the very
smartest have jabots of lingerie down
the front; others have low necks and
tiny fence collars.
Sleeves are long and bishop-shaped,
fancifully varied with narrow cuffs or
deep rufiles which fall over the hands
and show below the sweater OF coat

color; also champagne and light violet.

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING pABNEY.

If German reservists had any idea
of rising, they speedily changed tne.r
minds when Bannwart fell.
However deaf they are to the bugle
CALI the slackers are quick enough TO
respond when the dinner bell rings.
Potatoes are not so high, but they
still cost more than they are worth
as food. and more than the supply
and-demand balance justifies.
It has been so long since Kaiser
Bill referred to an empty gesture
that we are inclined to believe his
cup of woe is full.
Now that the men are seeking to
escape military service by matrimony,
the term swar groom" naturally sug-
gests itself.
Empty tin can is menace to pub
lie health" says headline. But not
if applied to the coattails of Pompa-
dour Bob LaFollette.
Elephant meat is to be made serv-
iceable for food, says a Berlin dis
patch. And soon the Germans will be
eating crow.
Butterflies, famed in poetry, find
no favor in the eyes of the back yard
gardener, to whom they represent
cutworms and caterpillers that take
fiendish delight in laying low his
work.
Soon the time for soldiers to part
with their sweethearts will come,

BUILDING SHIPS.

With S5OOoo,00O capitalization, the
United States is forming corporation to
build and operate great fleet of ships
one of the most important contributions
TO the war that America could make. In
addition, the hunderd-odd German and
Austrian ships seized in American ports
will be put into commission-their owners,
however, being reimbursed for their value.
Col Goethals is to head the corporation,
and the thousand wooden ships that are to
be constructed will be built on standard
lied plan by private yards at ten per cent
profit; contracts will be distributed accord
ing to capacity.
That the government is looking to Pen
sacola as a possible building port, its call
for ship carpenters here would seem to IN
dictate, and our business men and bankers
should do all in their power to secure the
contracts for this port.
