BY MARY MARSHALL.

This Is the day of variety so far as
ted'table linen is concerned And in
tea-table linen we include linen for all
those incidental refreshments that are
served at small tables-afternoon and
evening. for card parties and every
other sort of party as we'll as the con-
ventional cup of tea served between
and s.
The fad of the moment is to be
use colored linens If they fit your mood
or your room. white if you prefer
that. And IL you like six or cotton
better than linen. then by all means
use silk or cotton.
There are, as a matter of fact, some
most facinating sets of small cloth
and four napkins from France made
OF white silk with colored flowers
embroidered on them-bunches of
poppies md corn flowers, for instance,
or roses and forget t-me-nots. Some
times. as In the accompanying sketch,
the colored bouquet is made up. of en-
hroiderv and applique in colored silk.
The effect Is the same-one of color
and flowers.
The idea of using silk tea. napkins
and cloth is a new one. of course,
and Of ~course the thing Is only a
fad. But it is a pretty fad, and one
that the hostess always in search of
novelties will like.
Then there are colored silk cloths
and napkins with ecru or white or
dyed-to-match borders. In the sketch
is shown one of pale green silk with
ecru lace edge and embroidery.
ColOred Linens.
All sorts of coIored sets are sold
for the incidental linens. They come
in colored ground with white or
contrasting stripes, in white ground
with colored borders. The colors do
not include only pink and blue or even
yellow, pale green and lavender. You
find sometimes purple and red and
shades.
In the sketch at the lower right
corner is a French set in white and

France. Ireland. Czechoslovakia and
Belgium. italy still supplies us with
most alluring white embroidered linen
sets. and Of course some hostesses
never like anything as well as TINS
finely embroidered hand-woven linen.
The shops are full OF patterned
cloths and napkins that the clever
needlewoman can make herself. Such
set would prove a most attractive
and valuable Christmas gift. There Is
no comparison between the price OF
these sets bought finished and the
price Of the materials if you do the
work yourself.
On the table in the sketch is one
of the newer cloths to be embroidered.
The new idea is in the little pockets
at the four corners. in which the
napkins are tucked. The cloth
sketched shows teapot and three
cups and saucers cut out Of colored
linen and appliqued to the corners.
Several other ideas are worked out in
these cloths. The pockets may be
shaped like four cards, slightly over.

the evidence taken during the first
investigation.
A reporter called up David and
asked him about the brooch. His
reply was torrid. but he managed
to make it clear that he didn't like
the reporters paper. Another re-
porter called David and David re-
fused to talk to him.
The brooch, according to Sena-
tor Simpson, is IAN Episcopal Guild
broch. such as is worn by Episcopal
woman of high rank, at least in
England" And If it can be found,
and identified, its owner win be
asked to explain how It came to be
lost at the rendezvous house.
Clifford Cosgrove, who stays at
the Hall residence to answer the
questions of newspaper men-his
other duties an secretary to Attor-
ney Russell Watson - said the
brooch did not belong to Mrs. Hall.
New Witnesses
Simpson said today that when he
goes before the grand jury :, month
from now, he win have q much
stronger case than he had when he
succeeded in holding willie"
Stevens and Henry Carpenter with
cut bail, on charges OF killing the
Rev. Edward w. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills.
Two new eyewitnesses are re-
ported to have come forward. They
have never told their stories before
for fear OF damaging their own
regulations.
They admit they were on the old
Phillips farm on the fatal night, like
many others who apparently go
there often for la..destine meetings.
Their names were not revealed and
their testimony will not be given
except to the grand jury.
Two battles win be staged next
week. Attorneys for the defense
win seek to release Stevens and Car.
pender on bail. The other fight win
be the efforts of Simpson to have
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall sent back
to jail. She was released three
weeks ago on SIS. 900 bail after being
arrested on charges Of killing her
husband and Mrs. Mills.
Predicts Stronger Case
Major Mark o. Kimberling, Of the
State police, backed up Simpsons
assertion that he will have q strong.
er case when the grand jury meets.
He said the hearing that ended
Thursday was a necessary but
regrettabls interruption Of the work
of solving the crime" Then he
added:
"The case produced by Simpson
at the hearing was sufficient for
his present needs. But we win
provide him with q much stronger
case before he goes before the Sep.
TENDER grand jury and asks for

Simpson could ask the April
grand jury. which has not been

BASKET BALL
BY SOL METZGER.

Until a team Is proficient in
handling the ball it cannot perfect its
attack in basket bali. Plumbing is an
upsetting error that has to be eradi.
Gated. 1t is invariably due to the
failure of a player about to receive
pass to keep his eyes on the ball.
Sam Barry, 1owa's great coach. says
that when one of his veterans begins
fumbling that In usually the cause.
1t is pretty difficult for boy to keep
his eyes on the ball and, at the same
time, note the position of his team
mates. Yet he has to do just that.
There Ia one way and only one to
catch a pass to the body. First, the
player must keep his eyes on the ball.
Just as important In the way he holds
his hands to receive the ball. Note
the illustrations. In each case the
ball is going to be caught by the tips
Of the fingers. That gives the re-
ceiver the "feel' of the ball. True,
as the ball comes with force he can
not catch 1t with only the finger tips.
Instinctively, he will break fits force
with the heel of his hands and by
pulling his arms slightly toward him.
But he will control the ball all the
time with his fingers. The pull Of his
arms slightly toward him is also a
preparatory movement for the next
pass
Never fight the ball when receiving
pass and always Use the catch as
preparatory movement for the next
pass In order to speed up your pass
ing attack.
