Peter, cit occurred to some Swiss ladies
interested in old laces, that it might be
fine idea to teach the art of lace
making to the women, who, with large
families at home, were unable to leave
their households to take additional work,
yet were in great need Of experimenting
the husbands earnings, to take care Of
family needs.
Plenty of Idle Time.
Many of these women had plenty of
time in the evenings or perhaps during
spare hours throughout the day to do
handwork, and all they needed was
merely the knowledge of work which
would be of sufficient commercial value
to sell to their more prosperous neigh
bors or to shopkeepers in the cities.
So a school for lace making was estab-
lished at Coppet, once the home of the
famous Nine. de Stael, and another at
the town of Gruyere. Persons were sent
all over Europe in search of old pat
terms, which were copied in the schools
where they taught women to make every
kind of handmade lace to be found In
Europe. The idea was accepted enthu-
siastically by poor farmers wives and
others In need of adding to family re-
sources, and women would come from
all over the country to take lessons at
where the women could not leave their
homes. teachers have been sent from
out the schools to give lessons to women
in their homes"
Nine. Peter took from q nearby
drawer, number of pieces of fine linens
trimmed with exquisite rose-point fillet
and other handmade laces.
Shops Are Opened.
"All of these" she said, "have been
made by country women, who have
gained much happinee and content
ment through their ability to make
these laces. It gives them something
to do during their spare moments
and after they have been finished, they
take their handwork to the cities, where

SWISS WOMEN NOW REVIVING
ANCIENT ART OF LACE MAKING
Nine. Marc Peter, Returning
From Geneva, Tells of
Successful Move.
Exhibits Number of Pieces of
Linen Trimmed With Ex-
quisite FiIIet.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Returning from a visit of several
months to her home in Geneva, Mme.
Marc Peter, wife of the Minister from
Switzerland, tells with enthusiasm of
the success which has crowned the
efforts of certain prominent women to
revive the ancient art of lace making
among the housewives and country
women of the nation.
In speaking to me of Switzerland"
Nine. Peter said. 80 many people seem
to think they show familiar knowledge
of my country by discussing chocolate,
cheese or hotels. These three subjects
are brought up again and again to me
in conversations as though they were
the outstanding interests of the nation.
1t is so unfortunate that strangers
know so little of the real beauty and the
cultural side Of my country"
Thrifty Farmers Wives.
"For' instance, don't think the
average person, who either has never
been to Switzerland or who may merely
have paid a Shori visit there, knows
that some of the most beautiful hand
made laces in the world are made by
the thrifty wives of farmers and herds
men living far up in the mountains.
Much credit Is due to certain group
Of ladies living in the larger cities for
the widespread knowledge of the art,
which is growing in popularity, as a
source of adding to family finances, as
well as occupying the time of the
women during the long closed-in Win
tiers of the Swiss mountains
Several years ago." continued Nine.

the two agricultural colleges of the
country, the one at T7stayVayer, near
Lake Morat, being exclusively for
women"
Nine. Peter feels that the women of
her country are more domestic than
those of this country-that the welfare
of the home and the upbringing of
children occupy more of their time and
attention than it does that of American
women.
But my admiration for American
women is Of the greatest" concluded
Nine. Peter. II think their determine
Non and their ability to do big things is
truly wonderful"

schools have opened shops where they
sell the laceS made by their country
pupils"
Nine. Peter feels that the success,
which has followed this movement in
her own country to give to the house
wife an outside interest whereby she
may earn a little extra" might well
be carried out throughout the mountain
and farm districts of other countries.
'It makes these women happy and
contented," she said, land makes their
homes pleasanter and happier for their
husbands when they return from work.
In addition, working with these delicate
laces, carrying out beautiful old pat
terms, creates among women a sense of
taste and beauty which is so essential
in the lives of women"
The women of Switzerland, although
taking an active part in the profess
sional life of the Nation, contributing
many of their members to the ranks Of
doctors, lawyers, dentists and teachers,
have not entered into politics as ex-
tensively as American women, stated
the minister's wife.
Swiss women are enthusiastic
agriculturists. however" she added,

In such cases the giving of thyroid by mouth in the form of tablets or in other preparations promptly relieves the symptoms. Almost at once the thickness of the skin and the psychic depression begin to disappear. weight is lost rapidly and the patient soon approaches normal.
 It is a significant fact that many of the patent medicines sold to re- duce weight contain thyroid and are therefore extremely dangerous for those who have sufficient thyroid ac- tivity in their bodies.
 In the presence of any of the signs of deficiency of the thyroid in a child not a day should be lost in securing the proper measures. If too much time is wasted, changes may occur in the body which cannot be overcome.

 Mrs. Ticer considered for mo- ment, then she looked steadily at me.

 Jerry Ticer Involved?
 She put up her hand and took mine down from her shoulder. but she did not release it. Instead she clung to it as if it were the last tie that bound her to earth.

 Suppose you tell me first what your boarder told you" I suggested. Then I can see how much he real ly knew about it.'
 "Why--" Mrs. Ticer looked around her sitting room as if for aid. He said there'd been a bur glary up at the farmhouse, said there were two men and they only had a chance to ransacl1 one room that of girl who is away at school-When an old gentleman pointed a revolver at them. He said they evidently didn't want to hurt the old man, for one of them fired and knocked the pistol out of his hand without hurting him. Then the other man ran into the little boys room and grabbed him up and held him until they'd made everybody promise not to call the police for an hour. Then they beat it. That's all he told about the robber, but"
 Quite enough to prove to me he was one of the men concerned" my mother r-in-law struck in. That's ex- actly what happened, and nobody who hadn't been there could have told it so exactly"
 Then" Mrs. Ticer cried wildly. "Oh, Mrs. Graham, my boy Jerry was to blame-oh!"
 I caught her as she slumped against me in what was as near a swoon as Mrs. Ticer's sturdy body had ever experienced.

FLIP TURNS TAIL By Thornton w. Burgess
,rance doth mother fear;

Ignorance doth mother fear:
 Knowledge will not let 1t near.
 Old Mother Nature.
 Flip the Terrier enjoys nothing more than going afield with his master, Farmer Browns Boy. Al ways he gets very much excited when he sees Farmer Browns Boy preparing to take a walk. Sometimes he is left behind and .hen he is broken hearted. But he has learned that if he wants to go, he must mind. If his master tells him to stay at his heel he must be .atis- fled to trot along with his nose right at Farmer Browns Boys heels. If his master tells nim he can go ahead, he knows that he must be ready to return promptly at his m ster's command. Much Of the time he has to keep at his matters heels, because when Farmer Brown S Boy goes in the Green Forest he wants to see the little people who live there, and dog raclng ahead would frighten them.
 But not all the frightening is done by Flip. He never will forget the fright he got over in the Green Forest one of the first times he wenv to walk there with Farmer Browns Boy. He was trotting along right at his masters heels. He was all a-quiver with excitment. How he did want 10 run and poke his pose into holes and peek behind trees and work his way through thlckets! But his master said "No." and Flip knew that there was nothing for 1t but to obey.
 They were going along a crooked little path where it led between some white birch trees end past a bramble tangle. Just as they were passing this bramble tangle there was a terrible noise. It was so wholly unexpected and it was so very loud and so very close that, be- fore he could stop himself, Flip yelped right out. At the same time something went whirring away through the trees. Flip didn't see what it was. Flip was all a-tremble when he looked up in the laughing face of his master.
 What's the matter, Flip?" asked Farmer Browns Boy with laugh. Did Thunderer frighten you? You are not the first one he has fright ened. You'll get used to tt after he has done that two or three times"
 Flip looked up in his masters face and wagged his stub5ed tail just as if he knew what his master had been saying. which he didn't at all Farmer Browns Boy knew this. He knew that the title dog was still wondering what it was all about.

New York, Oct 24-The most profitable concession, considering the investment, at Coney Island is the Incubator Baby Show. Ii has been running for more than 20 years and many who were pulling infants in glass show cases are now married and have children.
 This past summer the inculato displayed a batch of seven. The Daddy of the incubator Idea is Dr. z. O. Couney, who came to this country from Silcsia. He first exhibited his idea at the Omaha eX- hibition and created so much inter- est he was persuaded to join the Concy boardwalk exhibitionists.
 While some shudder at the notion or premature babies being displayed in this manner the records show Dr. Couney has nurtured and nurscd more than 5000 weddings into health and useful activity. whehas, medical men say. they might otherwise have perishcd.
 Coney happens to be an ideal spot for the pure and filtered air which is such prime nee essjty tor incubator babies. The sun is also in abundance. The infants are almost invariably charity cases, and the 25-cent admission fee proTes ample for the upkeep of the experiment.

 The babies are usually six and seven months old when placed in the incubator and in five weeks may be handled as other normal babies. The identities are never divulged even to attendants. Only Dr. Couney knows. Many of his former "boys and girls" are his friends am visit him regularly.
 Now and then there is a picanir- ny, and it invariably balloons the receipts. The babies are rallen out and fed every three hours. They arc provided with milk from wet rurSes. Strangely enough, more men are visitors to the incubator show than women.

 Mrs. Ticers eyes opened wide as my mother-in-law made the com ment that she thought her boarder who had just left might prove & most interesting subject of conver- sation.
 You don't mean" she gasped, that he had anything to do with that burglary at your house! Well, come to think of it, I don't know that I would put anything past him. He was so smooth butter would have dripped off him, and I don't like that kind, as I told you. But I can see you're all set to ask Gues- tions, so fire away. You'll get more satisfaction out of it that way than if I were to start in and try to tell you everything I knew about him. I'd probably forget the most impor- tant things"
 'I'll be glad to ask the questions, I told her, but when I get through I shall want you to tell ne anything I've omitted"
 Don't worry" she said with wide smile at me. "When you get through there won't be anything left to tell. Trust an old school ma'am for that"
 I laughed, though her reference was not particularly pleasant one for me to hear because Dicky has leased me much about my school ma'am thoroughness, but as I plunged into my questioning I re- solved to live up to the reputation she had given me.
 Was your lodger a stranger to this vicinity, or had you ever known him before?'
 'No to both questions,' she re- piled promptly.
 How long had he been here with you?'
 Just a week"
 Did he give any reason for be- ing out here or for wanting to live out in this section at this season of the year."

 T thought that was queer, too," Mrs. Ticer commented. But he said that he was tractor salesman, trying to interest the farmers around here in a new of style tractor, and that, while this wasn't as central or convenient as a village could be, he couldn't stand living in d village he wanted to have space.
