USE OF TRIMMINGS
Decorations Are Not in as High
Favor as Formerly.
Cause More Anxiety for the Home
Dressmaker in Obtaining the
Desired Lines.

Trimmings on dresses were once
much like the garnishes added by
hotel cooks to their most elaborate
dishes-little dabs of ribbon, braid or
beads-lemon skin, parsley or paper
frills-that had nothing to do with
the structure of dress or dish.
OF late years we have got away from
this way of adding trimmings to
clothes and hats, and although at first
thought it might seem that the home
dresSmaker's task was thereby light
ened, it has not always worked that
way. For with the absence of trim
ming more depends on the structural
line of the dress and the bungler in
dressmaking can never achieve good
line. 1t takes real talent and skill
whether the one who does it be a
famous French dressmaker or an over
worked, tired mother, who is said to
have "good luck" or natural knack"
of making her children's clothes.
If you are sure that you can achieve
beauty and distinction of line in the
dresses you attempt to make at home,
then don't have any trimming. But if
you are less sure of your skill, make
the best use of the few trimmings
that are still permitted
Once you could have added bow
of ribbon almost anywhere on dress,
as trimming, apparently, but, in fact,
to cover up some quicker in the max
ing of the dress. Belts covered null
titude of sins in the way skirt and
bodice met at the waist. But now
belts are mere afterthoughts; if we
have them at all. But there still are
some devices that help.
A design of braiding in the same
color as the skirt, some four or five
inches wide, applied few inches from
the bottom of the skirt, either all
around or merely at the panels, adds
enormously
Although fringe has worn out its
welcome in some quarters because it
has been used too persistently, it is
still one of the most effective trim
mings the home dressmaker can pos
sibly user 1t is easy 70 apply and it
gives weight to the edge of the dress.
Wooden embroidery is one of the ex-
tremely good-looking trimmings. The
embroidery is usually in some rich
contrasting color and ADDS much spirit
to a plain dark dress. But it is not
the easiest thing in the world to work
in wool. To help you in this respect
there is wool embroidery on a thin net
foundation that can be applied to the
good result that you would get if you
worked the stitches directly on the
fabric.

FOR THE WOMAN WHO SEWS
When Making Aprons Use Flat Seams
Then There Will Be No Right
or Wrong Side.

When you make aprons, use tailored
fiat seams stitched on both sides like
you see in mems shirts. This will
mean that there will be no right or
wrong side and the apron will have
double wear.
In patching a garment, do not use
new material if you can help it, as
it will only strain the old material
around it. If partly worn pieces are
not handy, use thinner material. Be
sure the warp of the patch runs the
same as the material.
To remove a stain from a prickeG
finger when the blood has fallen on
silk material, take a few inches
of white sewing silk in the mouth,
moisten it, roll it into a ball and rub
the blood spot easily. The stain will
disappear.
Always use coarse thread for sew
ing on buttons. 1t does not show, is
stronger even than double fine thread,
and does not take so much time.

CHAPTER XIII.
q
The Bolt Fails.

Three times that winter I had seen
Benjamin Grimshaw followed by the
Silent Woman clothed in rags and
pointing with her finger.
The trial of Amos came on. He had
had blood on his feet" as they used
to say, all the way from Lickitysplit
tc Lewis county in his flight, having
attacked and slightly wounded two
men with bowie knife who had tried
TO detain him at Rainy Lake. He had
also shot at an officer in the vicinity
of Lowville, where his arrest was ef-
fected. He had been identified by all
these men. and so his character as a
desperate man had been established.
This in connection with the scar on his
face and the tracks, which the boots
of Amos fitted, and the broken gun
stock convinced the jury of his guilt

CANDIDATES MUST doll up"
Will Have to Look Their Prettiest II
They Expect to Find Favor With
Woman Voters.

1t is not necessary to go away from
home to find either the latest or best,
regardless of what is wanted. Consider
eyebrow arching, for instance. A local
beauty salon announces to the public
that it does eyebrow arching, and ex-
plains that this operation gives the
eyes a deep, soulful expression with
everlasting charm" Eyebrow arching
advice for woman electors is more or
less superfluous. 1t is to the men, and
more especially to the men who aspire
to public office, that this beauty hint is
directed.
Throughout the country women are
getting the ballot on equal terms with
men. Women cannot vote in Indiana,
but they are going to have that privi-
lege before long. So many women
have been enfranchised that they now
hold the balance of power in this ma
tion> So the woman vote will be more
and more a real political problem to
the candidate.
Some electors care little for the per
sonal appearance of candidates, but
most of them prefer man of char
acter. one who at least is presentable.

NEW SPRING HAT FASHIONS
Brims That Turn Abruptly Back From
the Face Characteristic of Some
Headgear.

A tufted hat of dark blue taffeta,
with a steel bead fastened in each
tuft, is not only charming in itself. but
capable of several deviations from the
original that would be quite worth
while.
Brims that turn abruptly back
from the face are characteristic of
a good many of the spring hats. Trim
ming is often placed on this back
turned brim in a very effective manner.
Many of the new hats show band
of trimming at the edge of the crown.
This is sometimes a row of artificial
flowers, fastened with very short
stems straight around. Sometimes
there is an inset band of silk on the
straw, with embroidery in cOlored cot
ton thread. Sometimes the trimming
consists in tiny ostrich points, upstand-
ing in a band half an inch from the
edge of the hat brim.

Judging by the advance models of
the new spring suits, the fancy vest is
to play an important part as an Access

Grimshaw never showed but one emo
tion-that of anger. He was angry
now. His face was hard and stern. He
muttered as he walked out of the
courtroom, his cane briskly beating the
floor.
The Silent Woman-as ragged as
ever-waS waiting on the steps. Out
went her bony finger as he came down.
He turned and struck at her with his
cane and shouted in q shrill voice that
rang out like trumpet in his frenzy:
"Go way from me. Take her away,
somebody. 1 can't STAN it. She's KILN
me. Take her away. Take her away.
Take her away"
His face turned purple and then
white. He reeled and fell headlong,
like a tree severed from its roots, and
lay still on the hard, stone pavement.
1t seemed as if snow were falling on
his FACET grew so white. The Silent
Woman stood as still as he, pointing
al him with her finger, her look I'M
changed. People came running toward
us. l lifted the head of Mr.. Grimshaw
and laid it on my knee. 1t felt like the
head of the stranger in Rattleroad.
Old Kate bent over and looked at the
eyelids of the man which fluttered
family and were still.
"Deadr' she muttered.
Then, as if her work were finished,
she turned and made her way through
the crowd and walked slowly down
the street. Men stood aside to let her
pass, as if they felt the power of her
spirit and feared the touch of her gar
ments.
Two or three men had run to the
house of the nearest doctor. The crowd
thickened. AS 1 sat looking down at
the dead face in my lap, lawyer who
had come out of the courtroom pressed
near me and bent over and looked at
the set eyes of Benjamin Grimshaw
and said:
"She floored him at last. knew she
would. He tried not to see her, but I
tell We that bony old finger of hers

it. / knew he'd blow up some day I'M

"Who got him?" another asked.

ing her finger at him-so.'
ashes got an evil eye. Everybody's
afraid o. the crazy OF trollope."
Nonsense She isn't half as crazy
as the most of u.s." said the lawyer.
''In my opinion she had good reason
for pointing her finger at that man.
She came from the same town he did
over in Vermont. Ye don't know what
happened there"
The doctor arrived. The crowd
made way for him. He knelt beside
the still figure and made the tests. He
rose and shook his head, saying:
"It's all over. Let one O. these boys
&C down and bring the undertaken"
Benjamin Grimshaw, the richest man
In the township, was dead, and I have
yet to hear of any mourners.
Three days later I saw his body low
cred into its grave. The little, broken
spirited wife stood there with the
same sad smile on her face that / had

NAME 1919 VICTORY CoLORS
Rich, Deep Blue and Bright Cherry
Are Chosen-Provide Excellent
Contrast

deep blue and a bright cherry as the
victory colors for 1919. 1t is not the

ors; it is too light and thin in its
tones; but it will undoubtedly prove
a success, as it is an excellent con-
trast to the victory blue.
The choice of these colors is con-
fined to America. We do not know
that France will launch victory colors,
but it is to be supposed that if she
does, observes a correspondent, she
will use the horizon blue of the French
uniform or the blue Of the French
flag. She is not much given to this
kind of work. 1t may be that she
will not celebrate victory through
fabrics.

remember well the look of the
venerable Judge Cady as he pro-
Eounced the sentence of death upon
Amos Grimshaw. A ray of sunlight
slanting through window in the late
afternoon fell upon his gracious coun-
teLance, shining also, with the softer
light of his spirit. Slowly, solemnly,
kindly, he spoke the words of doom.
1t was his way of saying them that
first made me feel the dignity and
majesty of the law. The kind and IA

mind of that supremest court which
is above all question and which was
