Lace Boudoir Pillow Covers
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

number of pieces of lace sewed together
1t is termed Brittany lace" in some
sections Of America. This lace Is eco
nomical and quite in accord with some
genuine old laces which are composed
of small and exquisite bits Of different
kinds and designs of lace. :7#
The thrifty woman who wants lace
boudoir pillow cover can select from
her box of old Tor new laces such
remnants or ends of lace as 1t supplies
and sew them together for the center Of
a pillow top. Border the center with
a row of insertion and edge with lace
slightly gathered to extend beyond the
pillow and the top is complete. The
back may be Of net or linen.
Remnants of lace may be bought at
small cost to exc out such bits of lace
as the box supplies, II the latter does
not contain sufficient lace for the pill
low top. Or the number Of rows Of
insertion may be increased, and thus
the size become large enough. 1t Is not
important that rows OF insertion match
In design.
Brittany lace" Is made on a founda-
ton of stiff paper cut the size of the
pillow top. Draw lines from corner
to corner. The point where the lines
cross is the center. A medallion or
square of lace is apt to be POSTPONED
over the center, while about it rows
of lace are arranged, sometimes in
straight lines and sometimes in diagonal,
cutting off corners in artistic manner.
No especial regularity is necessary. The
pieces Of lace can be fitted together
to suit the workers fancy, or to ac-
cord with the bits Of lace one has at
her disposal.
The lace can be run together with
small stitches where edges are finished
as in insertion. Raw edges should be
buttonholed. Irregular edging should
overlay bits of lace positioned far enough
under these edges so that they can be
sewed down firmly to the lace under 1t.
There should be no spaces between laces,
but the surface should be of pieces
closely fitted together
Embroidered covers should be of OPEN
work and not Stitchery ornamentation
merely. Lacey effects should prevail,
such as Reticella work, drawnwork,
fancy hemstitching with plenty Of open
spaces. A Florentine insert may be put
in the center of linen cover effectively.
Lace may be used for such inserts. The
open effect should be gained always.

Why She Didn't Bob.

suppose there was a time when
short hair on q woman meant either
suffrage or q recent attack of typhoid.
But now 1t means that she's in the
swim, for all those who are living at
all or getting anywhere are bobbed.
At the same time. know a lovely
girl who hasn't bobbed hers and she
says she won't. She rejoices in mass
or gold and amber locks and 1t would be
a shame for her to succumb to the
shears. But that's what we are all
doing, for this is the BARRIERS day.
This particular girl cannot give any
good reasons why she hasn't followed
the example of her friends. 1t isn't
that she thinks she will lose her attrac-
tiveneSs with men, for she's far from
being man-struck, and she could get
their attention with short hair as well
as long.
She doesn't think it unwomanly to
appear with the abbreviated locks which
are all the rage, but she just won't go
to the BARRIERS. that's all. AS far as I
can find out 1t Is only some ancestral
scruple which restraints her from being
In the fashion. 1t Is her grandmother
complex.
She sees the beauty and advantage of
the effect OF 1t in the case of her
friends, but she sees more clearly the
image of female ancestors who gloried
in their long, thick locks. And the an
ceStors win by mile Of switches.
At first I was inclined to pooh-pooh
the ideas of this girl with old ideas
and long hair, but 1t seems to me that
we moderns need, an occasional re-
minder of what woman was.
Women are naturally traditional and
it's a wonder that they parted SO easily
with their old-time crown and glory.
/ The Chinese who struggled to cut their
queues off had worse time and made
worse face over 1t than our women
who gave up the switch without
Qualm.
We mustn't break completely with
the past. even when the past has GER
tain number of skeletons in Its closets.
like to see woman free, but hate
to have her act fresh. It's nice to be
chic but just as nice to be modest.
Well. here's to the long-haired girl.
Long may her hair wave.
She loses some time in brushing her
hair but she makes it up in the money
she saves.

Scraps From Cutting.
me mother says:

One mother says:
! Cutting out paper dolls is very fasci-
mating employment for small girls, and
safe, too, when using blunt pointed
scissors. But at the same time the
litter is most annoying to a neat
mother. 7 solve the problem by giving
each of my small daughters half Of a
large suit box to cut her dolls over.
The pride they took in not getting any
scraps outside the lid was most gratify-
ing. When tired Of cutting it was a very
simple matter for me to empty the
scraps an dset the box In the closet for
future use. OF course any box could be
used, but suit box seems particularly
desirable, as it has a large surface and
is shallow enough not to hamper them
In their cutting.

a few inches below the coat, but not

New York - Maudc Adams, it
seems, is to take to the lecture bu-
reau platform when she returns
from India. In India, it seems, she
will attend to the filming of "Kim,"
story which has long intrigued
her.
And thus will one who has become
a wraithlike personality return, as
though from the dead.
Some columns back, ! had occa-
sion to note that Miss Adams had
become Manhattan's most mysteri-
Gus figure. Many times it was re-
ported that she was about to become
a nun, and though this did not come
to pass, she lived a most clustered
life. Her comings and goings were
hidden to all but few intimate
friends.
Word was whispered up and down
Broadway that she had attended
few premieres Of plays in which old
stage fellows were starred. Yet
none was able to capture her in the
act Of coming or going. She has
denied herself to the press a thou
sand times and she has avoided con-
tact with theatrical folk bent on get
ting her to return to the stage.
But up in the General Electric
Laboratories in Schenectady, N. Y,
she is infinitely more of reality.
There for five years the woman who
was once the most prominent stage
figure in America has played the
simple role of an experimental scien-
fist. For five years she has gone
mysteriously about her task, and in
answer to any questions it was said
that she had been experimenting
with new type Of color photogra-
ply.
Conflicting reports came from this
plant. Some said she had found her
goal, some that she had met with
Indifferent success. Then she dis
appeared into England, where she
discussed with Kipling the filming
Of Kim" No one seems to know
when and how she returned. One
day it was said that her furtive fig
ure had again been seen about the
city. Meanwhile, it was said, she
had appeared at convent in Tours
and studied French.
The fact that she is about to leave
for India to work on the picture
would seem to add strength to the
reports Of her successful expert
ments.
Then, too, l am told, an eight
year option she secured from Kip
ling is about to expire. It was not
an easy matter to get Kipling to
surrender to the films. He has an
aversion 10 the movies, and though
many Of his tales would make mar
yelous screen stories, he has held OUT
against their use. Only the fact that
Mapde Adams agreed to supervise

JOSEPH CARRIGNAN,
INDIANDAY PIONEER,
L0W,DUE STROKE
Fort Yates Man Wrote Letter
That Led to Killing of
Sitting Bull

Joseph Carrignan, GA, pioneer and
former Indian agent at Fort Yates, is
seriously i'll in Kansas City, according
to word reaching his sons, Jack Car
rignan, judge of Sioux county district
court. and Theodore Carrignan, out
side foreman at the Beulah mine. He
has suffered stroke of paralysis and
there is grave fear that he may not
recover.
Few men have more interesting
historical connection with this state
than Joseph Carrignan. He came to
the territory of Dakota In 1881 as a
mere youth, and he remained in the
state till two years ago, when declin-
ing health caused him to become
resident of Kansas City. where he has
sons and where Mrs. Carrignan also
resides. A son-in-law, Lafevre Pri-
meau, who lives in Kansas City, also
is critically i'll at this time.
Carrignan is Of French extraction
and came to Dakota from Montreal
He was friend Of Major James H.
Mclaughlin, former Fort Yates In
dian agent, who likewise was Ca
madam. At first he worked in the
store of H. F. Douglas, post trader,
but in 1890 he took up teaching in an
Indian day school mile and half
from the camp of Sitting Bull and 40
miles southwest Of Fort Yates.
About this time the Sioux Indians
took up the Messiah craze and began
ghost dancing on the Standing Rock
reservation. An Indian policeman
brought word to Carrignan, who had
an intimate acquaintance with Sit
ting Bull, SO he rode down to the In
dian camp and observed the Indian
rites first hand. When, a short time
later, Sitting Bull got ready to leave
to join the Sioux on the Pine Ridge
reservation, Carrignan sent a letter to
Major Mclaughlin, informing him
that the old chief was about to turn
hostile.
a troop OF about 30 or 40 Indian
police were sent to arrest Sitting Bull
and they were supported by two
troops Of cavalry following up in their
rear, under Captain Fechet. The In
dian police entered the camp during
