Caring for Fine Laces
The delicate witchery of soft laces
i» known to every true woman. Wit
ness how they are used to give a soft
•nd feminine grace to morning, after
noon and evening gowns. What the
lace collar and cuff do to the tailor
made suit is simply marvelous. It is the
lace frill and the jabot that makes us
look back longingly to the cavaliers,
"Ah. they were handsome fellows!"
we say, hut after all isn't it just the
touch of lace they wore that holds our
eyes?
The lace'curtain at door and window
or the lace spread on the couch or the
Pattenburg center piece or the Irish
torchon border 011 the lunch table af
fects us the same way. All women long
to have and to use lace in every prac
tical form and the desire is not so ex
travagant as it seems for lace lasts a
wonderfully long while if you give it
the consideration it deserves and the
careful cleaning T am about to describe.
The silk laces, especially the white
silk laces, need to be wrapped in blue
tissue paper when not in use. This color
has bleaching qualities and keeps the
yellow tingo at bay.
There are some "don'ts" that apply
to all laces. One is do not rub soap on
lace. When ready to clean lace, first
make a heavy, but mild, suds. Add
borax, ammonia, or some soap powder
to the water to soften it. Have a soft,
old rush at hand. Now cover a big bot
tle with a heavy cloth and pin the
lace on this, spread every point out
carefully and fasten firmly. T'se plenty
of pins, but not steel ones; they rust.
Thrush the lace with the suds, but do
not rub hard. Rinse in clear water,
tinted light blue with indigo, and dry
on the bottle, without un-pinning.
Very long pie.es of lace or lace
shawls and throws may bp pinned, as

NEGROES RESENT COLOR LINE
In Mass Meeting Protest Against Se
gregation in Federal Service |
Washington. D. C., Nov. 16.—Mem i
bers of the delegation which went to!
the White House last week with a!
protest against race segregation in j
government departments laid their)
■ ases before a mass meeeing of negroes 1
here yesterday. The meeting adopted a |
formal protest to the American people i
against "the pronounced tendency in
American law and public opinion to I
draw the color line."
"We inake this appeal at this'
time, said the statement, "because |
if has been ascertained by us from
the highest authority in the nation]
that it is the policy ot' the Kederal
government to draw the color line to
what the newspapers of the country
denominate and deuoimee as 'Jim
Crow government.' "
HUNTS A WEEK CRIPPLED •
Dislocated Ann Strapped to Side, Man
of 74 Has It Set on Return
Bellefonte, Now 16. —Falling from
* camp box, Isaac Miller. 74 years
old, a member of a Bellefonte deer- j
hunting party in the Alleghenies, dis
located his left shoulder last Sunday.
So eager was he to get a shot at "a :
deer that he refused to listen to friends!
and go home, but strapped tiie upper!
part of his arm to his body and hunt- j
e'd all ■neck.
Saturday afternoon he walked six'
miles to tiie nearest settlement and j
Sunday night was brought home, 40 !
miles, by automobile. The dislocated l
arm was set, and he is little the worst I
for t ic experience, though the party |

directed, or sewed on a curtain
stretcher. First put on a sheet or othdr
white cloth and fasten the lace to this.
If very delicate use the finger tips in
place of the brush, for the actual
cleaning, and How the rinsing water
over it until it runs off clear. A sunny
porch is a good place for lace cleaning
as it will dry there quickly.
Professional clea,ners use benzine
and chloroform -and gasoline for this
work but the average womau is not
successful in getting out the tell-tale
odor and often these substances harm
the fabric.
If the ivory white color, so prized
in old laces is desired, never use cold
ten to obtain it, for tlie tea stains. A
few tablespoons of cold coffee added to
the rinsing water, omitting the bluing,
is better. The lace must lie in this some
time.
Laces should not be starched, they
are not intended to be stiff and hard
but sometimes a littlp stiffening is
needed in curtains and then add the
ecru or ivory coloring (cold coffee) to
the starch.
I press the blond or nets, so much
used now t'or ruchings, between my
fingers or turn the iron upside down
and draw them over it gently.
The heavy hand-worked pieces should
be laid on a soft, very thick pad and
pressed on the wrong side. The laces
that are washed and dried on the bot
tle or on the stretcher will not need
ironing. You can shape these with the
fingers and use a crochet needle or
stilleto to open the pearls and loops and
raise the openings clear.
If lace is only dusty and not grimv
| sprinkle it well with French chalk and
jroll it up in white paper for twentv
j four hours, then shake well and it will
be clean.

"Had Miss Vlrginuy any jewelry on
ber?" asked Joe.
"A wateb and a necklace."
"What value?"
"Sereii or eight hundred dollars."
"Huh."' said November reflectively.
"Anfl what did you do after finding her
bal
"We trailed the two villains until
they got ou to some rocky-ground. It
was 100 dark then to do more, so we
returned. Klve thousand dollars if you
lay hands on them," be said.
By the river the truces were so plain
that any one could read tlieiu—the
slender feet of the victim and the
larger fooiprinls of the two men. The
fishing rod. snapped off toward the top
of the middle joint, had been left
where it bad fallen. It seemed as if
the girl bad tried to defend Herself
with it. Next we went to the lake.
November literally nosed his way
along. The mor-casioed tracks of the
two men showed faintly here and there
011 the softer parts of the ground.
•Looks as if they was toting some
thing," said Joe. "They must 'a' car
ried her. Stop! They set her down
here for a spell."
Another moment brought us over the
rise aud in sight of Mooseshank. lake
I halted involuntarily. The place seem
ed created for the scene of a tragedy.
November had pushed on to the spot
where footprints aud other signs show
ed where the men had entered the ca
noe. The deep slide of a moceasined
foot In the mud seemed to tell of the
effort It required to get the girl em
barked.
"The.v took her out on the lake anil
murdered her:" groaned Plan*. "Drag
sing'i There's lo u>e dragging, thai
water goes plumb down to the root o!
ihe world "
After that ive went around to the
other side of the lake and saw the
beached canoe. The two sets of moc
oasined tracks showed clearly on the
strip of mud by ihe water, but' were
soon lost iD the tumbled debris of a
two-year-old stouy landslip over which
trailing appeared quite impossible. No
rem bar was busy about this landing
place for a longer time than I expect
ed. then he crossed the landslide at
right angles and disappeared from our
view. Soon he came hurrying to
ward us.
"She isn't dead "
"What?"
"Anyways, she wasn't when she
passed here. I hare a proof iu>re ttoat
yon will think mighty good." He drew
out a little leather case I h.id given
him and extracted from it a long hair
of a beautiful red gold color. "Look
at that. 1 toutid it in the spruces
above there."
Plans took It gently in his great
fingers. He was visibly iiiueb moved
For a few seconds be held it without
bpeaking, then, "That grew oti Vir
ginia's he;id. sure enough. Joe. Is it
possible my girl is alive?"
"She is. sure! Don't be a feared, i
You'll soon have news of her. I can
promise .von that, Mr. Plans. This
wasn't no case of murder. It's just
an abduction. They'd never be such
fools as to kill her. They're cuter
than that, isn't she your daughter'/
They'll hold her to big ransom. That's
their game."
An ugly look came into Plaux's eyes.
"That's their game, is it? I'm not a
man that if is easy to milk dollars
from," said be.
By this time it was growing too
dark for Joe to work any loucer. We
crossed the lake with Plans, and that j
night Joe and 1 camped near the end
dt Mooseshnnk lake, where a stream
flowed from ft.
At dawn, while we were having
breakfast, Joe stood up and stared
into the trees that grew thick behind
us. As he called out l looked back j
and saw the indistinct figure of a man
In their shadow watching us. lie
beckoned, and we approached him. I
saw he was young, with a pale face
aud rather shabby town made clothes
"Don f you remember Walter Cal
vey, November?" be said, holding out
his hand. "I was with you and Mr. |
Plan* and—and—her last year in the
woods."
"Huh. yes. and what are you doing j
here. Mr. Cal vey ?" asked Joe, shaking '
hands.
"I heard about Virginia. How could
I keep away after that?" exclaimed
Calve.v.
"You've no cause to fret yet" said I
Joe.
"What? When they've killed her:
I'll go with you and if we can find !
those"—
"Huh: She's not dead! Take my !
word for it!" Joe's gray eyes gave nr.-
s roguish took. "Why. I've got a thing I
here In my pocket book yon'd give me |
SIOO for!' He held the red gold hair j
up to the light of the rising sun.
Cslvey shook from head to foot.
"Virginia's! You couldn't And its !
, match in Canada: Tell me"-
"I can't wait to tell you and ,rou
can't wait to bear Light out now.
j Old man Pianx could make It un
-1 healthy for TOU "
' "Tou're right! He hates me because
| Virginia won't marry Schelperg of the
combine. He hasn't let ns meet for
months And more than that, he's
; ruined me and my partner in business
It was easy for « rich man to ,dy
that." added Calvey bitterly.
"Tou go and start into business
again." advised Joe. "I'll send you
word first thing 1 know for certain."
But it was some time before he could
! induce Calvey to leave us. After he
bad gone I wondered whether Joe sus
pected him of haviug a hand in spirit
ing away Virginia. Presently I asked
him.
Joe shook his head. "He couldn't
have done it if lie wanted to. He's a
good young chap, but look nt his boots
and bis clothetw-he was bred on a pave
ineut, but he's .Miss Virginny's choice
for all that. We'll start now. Mr.
Qnaritcb, just where I found that bit
of gold caught in a branch that bangs
over the little stream up above there.
You see. she lost her hat. and she has
a splendid lot of hair, and so when I
could find no tracks, for they came
down the bed of thestream. I searched
'bout as high as her head. I guessed
she'd be liable to catch her hair in a
branch."
But we had hardly started when we
heard the vobe of Plans roaring in the
wood below us. He was comiug along
at an extraordinary pace in spite of
bis ungainly, rolling stride.
"You were right. Joe: Virginia Is
alive! It is a case of abduction. See
what I have here."
He held a long stick or wand in his
band. The top of the wand was rough
ly split, and a scrap of paj>er stuck in
the cleft
"Ed's just found this in the canoe on
the lake." he went on. "These black
guards must have come back in the
night, and put it there."
"What have they said In the paper?"
asked November.
" 'You must pay to get your daughter
back. If you want our terms come to
the old log camp on Black lake to
morrow night. No tricks. We have
you rontided up/stire. Don't try to
track us or we will make it bad for
her.' "
Joe touched the ends of the wand.
"Green spruce wood, cut near their
camp." said he.
"There's plenty of spruce like that
right here." objected Planx: "why do
you Kay it was cut near their camp?"
"it's cut :wd split with a heavy ax.
such as no man ever carries about
with him Weil, we'd best do no more
tracking til! we see rhe chaps that has
Miss Virglnny. It's Black lake tonight,
then?"'
On the way Planx tnade known to
us his plan of campaign. It was a
simple one. He would get the men
into the hut and speak rhom fair till a
favorable moment presented itself,
■when he would demand the surrender
of his daughter übder threat of shoot
ing tho kidnapers if the.v refused or
demurred
"There are three of us. and we can
fix them easy." said Planx.
November .loe shook bis bead.
"They're not near such big fools as
you think them." he remarked
Wo had stopped on some high ground
in the shelter of tile woods from which
we could see the fishing hut Joe van-

suddenly sprang up in the hut, and

As we entered the door I saw Joe
was pointing to a piece of paper which
lay on the rough hewn bible.
"The same wilting as before. Listen
to this: "If you will swear to give us
safe conduct we will come to talk it

Planx handed Joe ihe lantern. "Go

From the door of the hut we watched
November as he walked down to the

"You bear? They were waiting In a

Then followed the splash of paddles
and the rasp of the frosted rushes as
the canoe took the shore. Joe had re

lantern so that, it lit the whole of the

OL'R visitors hesitated outside the

As he spoke a short, bearded

I noticed they were shod in mocca
