MAKES DAINTY PARTY DRESS
French Chiffon Embroidered
With Silver Beads Develops
Into Winsome Frock.

A sweet and lovely dainty little
party dress may be made of French
blue chiffon embroidered with silver
beads. with girdle of silver cloth
tied jauntily on the left side in one
smart loop and end. The Overskirt
was made with four points, tine points
hung bit below slip of white satin.
The design for beading may be carried
out in bugles and round beads, or just
the round beads may be used. BY the
way, when beading, be sure to haste
the material very securely over the
paper pattern, and sew the beads on
with backstitches. The stitches should
not be taken through the paper; the
paper serves only TO show the design
and TO hold the material in place. Al
other idea is TO use two thicknesSes Of
paper. so the design will not become
torn, and in order to have very firm
foundation on which to work.

War Veterans Romance Wrecks His Mind

NEWARK N 1.-THE story of a
~ wife who forgave her husband,
adopted the child of her husband and
a pretty French girl he met in France.
and his insanity later over the loss
OF the baby, was told In court. Mrs.
Louise f. MacNichol was given guard

World war veteran She testified her

MacNichOl met the girl, Leone
Winckel. In August. 1913. Returning
the following June, he told all TO Mrs.
MacNichOl. Though her heart was
torn. Mrs. MacNichol forgave her hus-
band, and had him send for Leone.
In August, 1919, the French girl ar
rived and was taken into the Mac
Nichol home at Baltimore. A baby
was born in December. The arrival
of the little one brought great happi-
ness to MacNichol. II was his first
child.
Shortly afterward MacNichol and his
wife applied TO the Baltimore courts
for permission TO adopt the little one.

Frocks for Spring and Summer Are
DantiIy Trimmed With Wool
Embroidery.

Some of the best dressmakers are
making Bingham frocks for spring and
summer trimmed with wool en-
brodery. Especially attractive are
those with hens run with wool One
attractive model made OF brown-and-
white checks has Il straight gathered
skirt with a series of three tucks run
in brown wool stitches about a half
inch in length.
Then there are charming little ging-
ham dresses made with wool en-
broidered flowers or fruit. However.
there is always real wisdom in making
gingham frocks so that they may be
easily washed and ironed and this
wooden embroidery does not recon-
mend itself on this score The wool
run tucks are possible providing you
take the tuck originally in machine
stitching, simply using the wOol-run-
ming for ornamentation.
One of the greatest advantages in
making Bingham dresses at home is
that YOU may have them shrunk be
forehand. IL * also good plan TO
have the color set before the material
is cut. and this can be done AT the
same time that you are shrinking the
goods.
The substances usually used for set
ting colors are salt, vinegar, alum or
sugar of lead. The aforementioned is
poison. SO il is better not 10 use It,

rest got excited and one went Off the
trail. Two more followed as the III
animals were tied together. Things
began TO look interesting.
Packer Arm had good excuse
for making tracks. Instead, he jumped
into the midst Of the panic-stricken
animals and succeeded in cutting out
the remaining eight.
OF course, all three animals were
killed. One fell 1000 feet, without in
Turing his pack. One fell 200 feet

not explode.
