the theft Of a hammered silver tray

Vernon Bauer attended the show
in Winnett last Thursday, riding in,
as usual on his pony. After the show
he found his horse was gone. He
walked home and found the horse
at the barn minus, saddle, bride,
two ropes, and spurs. Later the
saddle blanket and the bride throat

the court house. Loss is estimated
at $125.00.
Elmer Bauer reports the loss of

Patman stated, "In my opinion,

INVITATION
TO DEATH
By Yale Roe
WNU Features.


I had made a date with my for
mer college roommate, Ted Law
son, for seven o'clock; a date for
dinner, and for death.
AS Ted lit cigarette I first
noticed how gray his hair had be-
come. But it was 20 years since our
graduation day when I had last seen
him. The passing of time had
changed us both but did not dull
my memory Of that day.
After the graduation exercises I
had started looking for Ted. had
known him for a year but lately he
seemed to be acting strangely. He
was uneasy when with me and it
was not long before I knew why.
Suddenly I caught a glimpse Of
his curly black hair in the crowd.
Making my way towards Ted I
saw Susan, my fiance. with him.
Susan and I were going to be mar
ried as soon as I found job.
Congratulations, Ted!" I clasped
his hand.
Thanks" he said quietly. Same
to you."
AS I put my arm around Suan
and leaned over to kiss her. she
averted her head and stepped back.
It was then that sensed that some
thing was wrong. Stunned, heard

dress as trimming, adding glitter
here and there, on hands, toes, face
and body.
To make a stocking doll, select a
mans sock or some Of the short
socks your son or daughter have used.
Clip off the toe part, and use the
material to make fat little arms for
the doll. The rest Of the foot should
be cut in two and stitched to make
the legs. Stuff with cotton batting,
shape the head with stitching and
embroider eyes, nose and mouth.
If you want to dye the sock in a
brilliant color. do this before making
the doll. Scarlet is good color to
use for doll of this type. Simmer

oughly before attempting to shape
them into dolls or other orna-
ments.
If you are making dancing doll,
use one pipe cleaner for the head
and body, another for the arms,
still another for the dancing legs and
fourth for her skirt. A boy dancer
will take two more for the legs and
trousers, a part Of one pipe cleaner
for the feet, and part Of another
for scarf and sash. Any combina-
ton of colors may be used.
Charming pictures can be made
from cloth, and they're nice addi-
ton for youngsters room. You
can use as your guide a page from
child's book. Use thin cotton ma
terial in any desired color, dyed, if
necessary, and cut patterns on cloth
from the picture you are using for
a model. Mount these on another
piece of cloth and use a simple wood
frame.
Discarded terry cloth bath towels
are excellent material for making
teddy bears that young fry like to
carry with them. There are patterns
available for making the bears, or
you can make one Of your own if
you're good at drawing. It's a good
idea to dye the towel if it's white
and you may use brown or pastels.
Be sure to decorate the teddy bear
with a red ribbon tongue, button
eyes and red ribbon bow tie.

Quickie Gift Ideas

Rayon and cotton towelings
make nice tray or luncheon sets.
Cut doilies IL inches by ,18 inches
and finish off by raveling the
edges to make a fringe. The nap
kins can be made IL inches by
IL inches and may also be raw
eled. A set of four, six or eight of
these will make an especially
nice gift for a busy homemaker.
Here's a tip for making some
things of odd boxes. Use them
for lingerie cases, handkerchief
or hose containers. Cover them
with cloth or wallpaper, and use
contrasting color or print for
lining.
You haven't time to knit nit
tens? Well then, make them
from old sweaters. Cut a pat
tern slightly larger than hand
size and machine stitch around
the pattern to outline the mitten
pieces and prevent raveling. Use
a whipstitch or buttonhole stitch
in contrasting colored yarn for
finishing the mitten.
Another idea for mittens is to
make them out of an old suede
jacket and then sew bits of fur
around the cuffs, or use fur for
lining.
Decorative head bands are nice
for teen-agers and don't take long
to make. Use embroidered felt in
bright warm colors, sequins on
a wire frame, or fur or feathers.

her tell me that she was in love
with Ted, that she had been seeing
him secretly for weeks. From con-
glomeration of bemuddled thoughts
I could realize only one thing; that
it was all over.
Ted married Susan the following
week. They moved to Rhode Island
where they lived for only year be-
fore Susan became i'll. Within few
days she died; the doctors said it
was pneumonia. Perhaps it was
poetic justice Perhaps neither of us
was worthy of her.
I had never thought of myself as
one who would someday commit
murder. But with every passing day,
month and year my hatred to-
wards Ted Lawson grew until my
wrath developed into a frenzy. But
my revenge would not be complete
If I too would have to die. Conse-
quently, l had long thought out
my perfect crime. Over period of
20 years an act such as murder
could be planned most carefully.
Actually it was very. simple.
About five years ago, while out of
Illinois I had bought medicine
which was poison if taken internal
ly. The effects had all the symp-
toms Of seizure. I had bided my
time for many years so it was moth
ing to wait another few years until
the moment of opportunity would ar
rive.
The bus boy cleared our dinner
dishes from the table. AS the wait
er approached with our coffee I
realized that the time for my re-
.venge was finally upon me.
Then l noticed blond woman of
about 30 shuttle past our table
swinging her hips in time to the
music. Ted looked up and smiled.
His eyes followed her across the
room. This was my chance but I
had to act quickly. With the agility
of a cat shot my arm towards
Ted's cup and the deed was done.
The drops of poison foated around
in the cream and then sunk to the
bottom of the cup.
After we had finished our desserts
and coffee we sat for while smok-
ing and talking. Suddenly Ted
burst out laughing. His whole burly
frame shook with laughter until I
could not stand it any longer. What
is it? What is it?" I found myself
shouting.
He said, "You know, I'm a heel.
Why it's really funny. When you
went to buy your cigarettes, l got
suspicious Of you. guess it was be-
cause was always afraid you would
do something to me for marrying
Susan" He laughed some more.
Suspicious. What do you mean?"
I asked.
II don't honestly know" he an
swered. But suddenly 1 began to
wonder if after all these years you
would hate me and if you would try
to harm me. So I switched our cof-
fees. You know, like they do in the
movies. But heck, you couldn't hurt
a fly. That's funny, isn't it?"
The volume of his laugh seemed
to swell in my ears. rose slowly
from my chair and walked toward
the door. Somewhere in the back of
my mind 1 heard Ted calling me
but it did not matter. l knew that
now nothing would ever matter.

Fashion Forecast

Bustle interest is still in fashion,
but the effects are rather softened
with muted drapery, soft bows or
shirring.
Look for tailored jackets to 60
with your daytime and evening fash
ions. Not only are they practical to
have in cooler weather, but they
add note of completeness to your
dress.

and there just isn't enough time to
select a proper gift.
There's solution, however, which
you'll find a lot easier to follow than
trying to shop. Spend the time at
home and see what you can make
out of your sewing basket. There
are lots of things that can be made
out of bits Of gay cloth or ball
Of yarn which are welcome fill-in
gifts.
I don't suppose any woman ever
had enough pot holders. because
they do get their share Of wear,
scorching, etc. You can really make
attractive pot lifters by using odd
bits of colorful material, or even
oilcloth. Any neighbor or friend
will be happy to receive fresh pair
Of them among her gifts.
Another friend of mine who likes
children always has plenty Of things
on hand to give the youngsters when
they bring her cookies or do errands
for her. She makes hobby out of
yarn dolls which are the most at
tractive things you've ever seen.
Quick to make, too, they're ideal for

Wind the string, both coarse and
thin pieces together, around small

Divide the thicknesses for arms,

waist, clip arms the proper length
and tie. Then tie off feet for boy
dolls. Color them by simmering in
dye. Make some red, some green
