Use for Old Leather.
One should always save the tops Of
old shoes, or the gauntlets Of heavy
riding gloves or other pieces of leather.
They are excellent as an inter1ining
for iron holders.
Do not make the holder too large,
as it is clumsy to handle. Those
which are oval in shape are prefer
able. Cut the covering and the inter
lining the same size and shape, stitch
all the thicknesses on the machine,
close to the edge of the material, then
bind with a tape or piece OF seam

She began walking slowly and rather
aimlessly, 1t seemed to me. along the
street in the direction of Sixth ave

followed her at a decent interval to
see what she was going TO do. But
she did not seem to know.
The street lOafers stared after her,
and two men began walking abreast of
her on the other side of the road 1
followed more closely.
AS she stood upon the curb on the
east side of Sixth avenue I saw her
glance tinidly up and down before
venturing to cross. It was quite half
minute before she summoned reSo-
luton to plunge beneath the structure
of the elevated railroad. When she
had reached the other side she stood
still again before continuing west
ward
The two men crossed the street and
planted themselves behind her. They
were speaking in tongue that sound
ed like French, and one had a patch
over his eye. A taxicab was crawling
up behind them. 1 was sure that they
were in pursuit of her.
The four Of US were almost abreast
in the middle of the long block be
tween Sixth and Seventh avenues.
Suddenly the man with the patch
turned on me. lowered his head and
butted me off my feet. 1 fell into the
roadway, and at that instant the sec
ond fellow grasped the girl by the arm
and the taxicab whirled up and
stopped.
The girls assailants seemed to be
trying to force her into the cab. The
bag flew open, scattering a shower of
gold pieces upon the pavement
And then, before I could get upon
my feet again the dog had leaped at
the throat of the man with the patch
and sent him stumbling backward. Be
fore he recovered his balance I was at
the other man, striking out right and
left.
1t was all the act of an instant, and
in an instant the two men had jumped
into the taxicab and were being
driven swiftly away. 1 was standing
beside the terrified girl, while an i'll
looking crowd, gathering from God

fought like harpies for the coins

The girl pulled at my arm distract
edly. She was white and trembling,

fear.

my sleeve with her little gloved hands.

FORCING GROWTH OF PLANTS
Intelligence of Man Is Enabling Him
to Become Master of Nature and
the Seasons.

By degrees man is becoming mas
ter of the seasons. Light and cleo
tricity are being pressed into his sef~-
Ice, and he can already fOrcS on plapa
growth so rapidly that ne can beat
the ordinary process of Nature by
many weeks.
One method is to treat seed, be-
fore planting 1t. with small doses Of
high-tension electricity. In 1910 trial
was made Of this method near Burn
ham-on-Crouch, in Essex, England.
Spring wheat is usually sown in March
or April. On this occasion the wheat
of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not soWn
until July 10. 1t was up in five days.
and on September Is was IN ear. It
was reaped II weeks from the time 1t
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
for wheat to mature in that country
is 1S weeks.
Another method OF forcing crops Is
to run a current Of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yield
of oats and beans has been nearly dou-
bIed. Experiments tried last year at
Lincluden Mains farm In Dumfries-
shire, were practically successful. A
third method is to use artificial light
either electric or, better still. acety-
lene. Plants are thus made to grow
by night as well as by day. Cabbages
and lettuce are easily forced in this
way, but other plants such as carrots.
seem to resent it. Flowers bloom ear
lier under artificial light, and are more
brilliant.

No one is prepared for midsummer
unless she has ready for warm wealth
er a sport suit, or sport coat that
may be worn with skirts of the same
character, supplemented by a sweater
of sweater-coat. The sport suit has
made a place for itself that nothing
else can fill. It is not an extravaganza
even for the woman who believes in
reducing her expenditure on clothes
to necessities, for the sport suit re-
places dressier and less generally
wearable clothes. 1t is smart enough
to take the place of afternoon frocks
and it remains informal, whatever it
is made Of "Suit" is a term that
covers the combination Of a sport skirt
and a sport coat that do not match, as
well as skirt and coat OF the same ma

A handsome example Of the first
combination appears in the suit on the
left Of the two models shown in the
picture. In this the skirt is of white
satin and is made of one of those
new weaves that appear to be better
suited to sport skirts than to anything
else. It is strong and brilliant. On
the Overlapped seam at the left side,
five large, fiat pearl buttons are set
near the bottom Nothing could be
done more to emphasize the charac-
ter of the skirt.

Dc Mend an uaIx Tear.

Sometimes you are unfortunate
enough to make an ugly tear in

ed very successfully, and if in an in
conspicuous place it will not show at
all. Lay the tear edge to edge. and
basic across it. being careful that
while the edges meet, they do not
overlap. Cut piece Of rubber tissue,
which may be obtained at any tailor
ing shop, to amply cover the tear. Lay
the garment on the ironing board right
side down, place the rubber over the
rent, and over the rubber lay
piece of goods of the same material as
that Of the garment to be mended.
Keep both rubber and goods perfectly
smooth, and press out with a hot iron
for several minutes. Now cut out the
basting threads on the right side, and
shave off any rough edges remaining.
When there is no material of the dress
on hand. piece of lightweight wooden
goods of the same color will answer.
That the bottoms of mems trousers
are held together in this way is a
good sign that the method is practical
and successful.

stitch This is an especially good hint
for making scalloped edges.
