some pampas grass which she hat
dyed. 1t was so pretty and Sc
simple that I was sure you'd like
to try it yourself.
Mrs. Metz says you can dye the
grass (Which is sometimes called
Ornamental Grass of African Grass
and grows in many yards neal
lhere) either before it fiuffs out OF
afterwards with equally good re
suits. She used the same dye thai
is used for fabrics, followed the di
rections for diluting it, and left the
heads of the grass in the dye unit
it was the desired shade. 1t is in
teresting to have several shades o.
the same color, from light to dark
The results may be discouragins
until the heads have dried anC
fuffed out, but be patient. TIL
final product is fluffy and a soft
pastel color. Mrs. Metz used blue
gold, and rose for hers-maybe yol
would like those colors or som
others that are your favorites.

what is described as his third try
at robbery.

on March 27-he had threatened
Miss Theresa Barry. the clerk, and
forced her to yield the contents of
the cash register, police say. In
spector E. E. Scott, chief of de-
tectives, had a hunch the man
would return, so three weeks ago
he ordered detectives to hide in
the establishment.
When Taylor walked in last
night and held out his hand Miss
Barry opened the cash register
and handed him $22. Il don't
have much money tonight" she
said.
That was a prearranged signal,
and Detective Sergt. Thomas I.
Herlihy came out of back room
with his gun drawn. Detective
Sergt. James Roche came in from

Police said two notes were
found in Taylors pocket. These
read: Il know you have some
money in that register. Give it to
me quick, or you'll get this ice
pick" and Put all the money in
