Lee said he had had the gun for
a long time, keeping it in his car
when he made night trips along
roads.
After he had finished his long
story, Captain Doyle said:

And Lee, with the meek obedience
of those for whom sensations have
ceased to exist, temporarily, washed
up, and went back to his cell. He
has eaten nothing since his arrest.

Lee lay silent on her cot. The

her and close upon her, as her
vital force struggles against the
deadliness of her hurts. Physicians

homes. have been quite sue
cessful.
Hooked rugs, braided rugs, tufted
rugs, woven rugs, knit rugs, fol-
lowing early designs or exhibiting
new designs, are those Mrs. Phillips
defines as most wanted.
Many of Mrs. Phillips choicest
rugs come from the women of Wis
consin. But they are being pressed
hard by the Pennsylvania women,
particularly in those districts where
the Dutch element continues to pre-
dominate. Among the women en-
rolled in the ranks of rug makers
are many grandmothers who learned
the art of rug making from their
mothers, who in turn acquired 1t
from their mothers. Thus has
come down both the art and the
designs that appeal so strongly to
the lovers Of the antique.
Used As Copies.
While in Washington Mrs. Phil
lips has been on a still hunt for
those charming specimens Of hand
made rugs produced years ago by
past generation of rug makers.
She is constantly on the outlook
for them and now owns an ex-
tremely valuable collection repre-
senting various periods. These are
utilized by the rugmakers as copy
material which insures the per-
petuation of many of the delightful
creations of past decades.
Handmade rugs open new
field for many women wherein
they can earn a living without
leaving their homes" said Mrs.
Phillips. 1.-THE demand for the
handmade rug is growing; it only
is required that the rugmaker pos
sess a proper sense of color and an
idea of design. Hooked rugs are
the most popular at present, but
there is a demand for all kinds. I
hope some day to find I have en-
rolled a legion Of American women
in the rug-makins ranks.

RUG
INDUSTRY IS
GROWING
Mrs. Anna M. Laise Phillips
Here to Enlist Women in
Revival of Art.

Some Of the ancient arts have
escaped being listed among the lost,
strayed and stolen activities of past
generations so highly priced these
days because of their cultural in
fluences. Among them it may be
said truly the art of rug making,
the making of floor coverings by
the busy housewife and her daugh-
tiers during spare moments, is to be
counted.
While it Is true that the rag car
pet industry is not being carried
on in the homes quite so extensive
ly today as in the times when
grandmother spinning wheel was
a fireside feature, nevertheless the
making Of the rugs, which three
quarters of a century ago occupied
the time of hundreds of American
women, continues and, what is more,
is being consistently encouraged
not merely as an artistic activity,
but for the revenue it adds to the
family exchequer.
Started Renaissance.
Responsibility for the rennais-
sance, If the widening interest in
MAKING
may be so considered, is largely
due to the efforts Of Mrs. Anna M.
Laise Phillips, of New York, for
merly head of Phillips School, Of
this city, who, following the world
war, established what has become
Ye Hearthstone Studios, of New
York city. Through her unaided
efforts rug-making groups Of wom-
en- have been organized at many
points in the New England States.

she said:
TT is hardly right to refer to
rug making at home as the revival
Of a lost art, for really it never
has been truly lost. While fewer
women engaged in 1t within recent
years than formerly, there have
always been enough experts to keep
the art alive. With me it has been
the simple problem Of finding them
and then creating a widening in
terest in handmade rugs, particu-
larly in the making of them.

But the interest is growing.
Many women find they can make
rugs at home at a profit and in
these times of high prices find
the revenue taken in this way

though the handmade rugs are
slowly but surely driving out the
Persians and antiques. One hand.

Arthur r. Brandes, the.

enjoys the unique distinction of
being the only fisherman who,
while fishing off the tidal basin,
fished up a one-dollar bill. Mr..
Brandes, though modest about
the incident, was rather reluc-

with the unusual occurrence
