These are lace days. Lace forms

the economical girl or woman may
combine odd bits Of lace found in the
scrap bag, transforming them into
something beautiful, even though they
do not exactly match in pattern. The
best way to give to these an appear
ance of similarity is to tint them all
to single shade-ecru, cream or yell
low-or to dye them in the same way.
thus securing tints. since these colors
are popular. One may even pick up
bargains in laces upon the counters,
and treat them in the same way, thus
securing a handsome blouse, or the

slight expenditure. A bit of color, or
an all-Over design to weld all together,

he got down from his seat and began
to investigate.

EVIDENCE is ACCUMULATING
Prominent Detectives Confident Of
UnraveiIing Bomb Plot.

New York.-Confidence that the
American anarchist fighters" who
are believed to have caused the dis
astrous bomb explosion in Wall street.
last Thursday, will be brought to
justice, is expressed by William J..
Flynn, chief of the bureau of investi-
CATION of the department of justice.
Chief Flynn, who has charge of the
federal investigation under the per-
sonal supervision of Attorney General
Palmer, said he was certain from the
similarity of circulars found in mail
box near Wall street at the time Of
the explosion, to those found at the
scene of various bomb explosions in
June, 1910. that the same crowd Of
terrorists was responsible for both
Outrages.
1--WE had solved the mysteries Of
last years bombs but were frustrated
in bringing the criminals to justice
when Alfredo Salesedo, whom we were
OBTAINING in the New York office of
the bureau, jumped from History
window and committed suicide" said
Flynn. "That tipped our hand, and
the crowd got safely out of the coun-
try beiOrc we could nab them. Now
we have much more to work on at the
start. The similarity Of the circulars
makes available all our knowledge of
the gang who committed the outrages
last year.
We even established the identity of
one anarchist who was killed by his
own bomb in last years explosion,
with much less evidence than we have
in the present case. Torn bits of pink
paper were all the evidence we had
last year. Now we have whole cir
culars dropped into a mail box, pre-
sumably by the man who set off the
bomb, half an hour after letter
carrier had emptied the box. In ad-
ditiOn, there are the horse and the
broken bits Of the wagon on which the
bomb was placed"
