Iffimfflf 1 JJ Ji 1 LINEN 18 perhaps more used than any other ' mulcrlal whim' em broidery Is to be done for art, muschold purpose)) ai)I weuring ap iarul. Much as we use linen nowadays, for ur table, our bods ami our bodies, It s not a new medium for embroidery, t is ages old, as for centuries linen jmbroldory has been a domestic la luntry In foreign lands. This old work Is now being copied widely and the (special work belongi ng to different lanils Is enslly rccog llred. Thus the old Spanish, Italian ind Greek embroidery on the linen has chiefly done In one color a pur jle red. A great variety of colors nixed with gold and silver thread Is sharacterlstlc of Oriental work. A similar richness of coloring, but enerally without the gold and silver .ouches, murks the Hungarian, Slav, ind Swedish peasant work. Old biuo ed and yellow are the predominating anes. Much of the Italian embroidery of .he sixteenth and seventeenth cen :urles was done on very fine linen ometlmes In colors, but more often in white, with Intricate stltchery and much cut and openwork. The modern ?lrl, however, rarely has patience for this exquisite stltchery of the olden :lm en. Her work is more splashy and less beautiful. For this reason the quality of the linens used today are changed, the threads being round and coarser, so they can easily be counted to make easier the copying of the design. The old embroideries, especially the Ital ian ones, were done on very fine linen. In choosing a linen to embroider it should be hand-bleached, and without much dressing. The threads should be round, especially if any drawn work Is to be combined with the em broidery. There are special art lin ens for fancy work which are quite distinct from the linens used for sheets and pillow cases. Unless you are sure you can detect cotton threads and Imperfect weaving, It Is well to leave the selection of your linen for an elaborate piece of embroidery to a saleswoman In I ho art needlework department. She will gladly advise you the best grade for your special purposes. Linen embroidery may be classed under two heads that where threads are counted, for the material accord ing to a pattern done on checked pa per, as In all cross-stitch work. Slav embroideries and various kind of can vas work; the other where the pat tern Is drawn on the material and the embroidery worked without regard to :he threads of the material, as In Eng Dainty Costumes THE dainty froek at the left Is of white voile made up over pink taffeta. It Is In empire style, shirred ut the top and aguln at ihe bottom, where it is finished with a ruflle edged with Irish lace. It Is trimmed with folds of the pink taffeta and Irish lace Insertion. The one on the lurgcst girl Is of white pique. The skirt is encircled with a wide band of Knglish embroi dery and with tucks which are em broidered with dots. The Jacket Is IN fOQUC White for all occasions Is to be .worn this spring and summer. All kinds of laces are In use heavy ones and the daintiest and filmiest. High, small turbans are trimmed with cabochons of garden flowers on the side. Hhortor sleevea are looked for In the models that are .o be worn In the com ing summer. Higher and higher mount the toques, higher and higher soar the feathery adornments. There is a combination of French knots and co'ored beads seen on the new waists that is attractive. The Volatile Waist Line. Though the waist line Is less ver satile than it used to be, and Is more end more Inclined to assume the con ventional position, the Empire effect Is itll! to be seen. For reception and II! IB l -P inn v H''i lish embroidery, satin stitch, Kensing ton, Chinese and Madeira embroi deries. No linen embroidery covers the en tire ground of the material, but leaves spaces of the linen for a background to the design. There are Interesting imported lin ens to be found In most establish ments that ore adapted to both kinds of linen embroidery. Uesldes the Irish linen there are Spanish, Slleslan and Algerian linens for small stitches and fine work, while the coarser lin ens of Cuba, Ceylon and Hntavla are used for bolder effects and coarser stltchery, and Russian linens and tha different kinds of canvas gives stitches of any desired size. Most of these can be found In white cream and ecru, and many of the so called art linens come In varied tones of nny. given shade. Though the old-time embroideries were rarely done on cotton goods we think nothing of putting handsome stltchery on cotton materials sheer and opaque. It is better, however, to make such embroidery sketchy, as the material Is not worth fine work. Unfrayed Scallops. Some housekeepers object to the buttonholed scallop on embroidery, be cause It frays In washing. This can bo overcome in several ways. The surest is to buttonhole a second time over the purled edge, when the seal lop has been worked and cut out. Another method Is to run the out line of the Bcallop with machine stitching before buttonholing. Or In cutting leave a narrow margin and turn back under the Bcallop and hem to the material. If these are too much trouble, at least wash the linen before cutting out. The material shrinks and Is much less likely to fray. Where the entire piece Is not washed, the embroidered edge can bo dipped In lukewarm wa ter for a few minutes, then Ironed dry and later cut out close to the purled edge. Turkish Mats. If you are the fortunate possessor of a Turkey rug or mat, don't allow it to wear into holes without trying to remedy matters. Go to an upholster er and ask him to give you a small bundle of odd pieces of wool and a suitable needle. Then, when you And a weak spot, go down on your knees and durn the place of course match Ing the wools as closely as possible. It Is really astonishing what good re suits one gets. trimmed in the same way and orna mented with marl buttons. The col lur is of English embroidery bordered with the dotted bands Tho cliarmlne little coat Is of llrht blue alpaca. One side of the front la turned back to form a large rever and the coat is trimmed In front and bark with straps of the material fast ened with gold buttons.

Dut fot the street all this Is out of place; It gives the wearer a silhouette that Is untidy, and suggests a looseness that is altogether objectionable. Ia regard alro to evening gowns the Bame fault may be found. So long as a toilette Is to be worn chiefly while walking or standlr. the 'short waist Is permla slble even desirable but for a din nor, concert or theater It Is no longer so. The bust, unconflned, falls out of shape, und It Is the realization of Mils fact that has led to so many ti the newest evening bodices being mads with swathed draperies and close fit ting lines.

POOR BEGGARS' LIFE Makes Study of Vagrant and Cecorr.es One Himself. Albert Clutterbuck, Charged With Beg ging, Is Sent to Prison Writes Book on Methods of Mendi cants He Lived With. London. A document entitled "The Life of a Ileggar" was written In an Infirmary by Albert Clutterbuck, aged 13, who was chnrged with begging at Marylebone police court. Parts of this, based on what the man beard and saw while living In a common lodging house, were rend aloud by Mr. Paul Taylor, the magis trate, who described the document as "most Interesting." "Of course most of you have beard or know of Nottlng Dale, the home of beggars. When a baby Is born In this noted district and gets to five or seven years of age, it is taken out with Its mother and father and taught tbe way to beg. Its mother takes it In ber arms and goes and molests ladles and gentlemen for means to buy the child some bread. Their 'bread' means beer, and most people know that, but they give to tbeui to get rid of them. "When the child has been learning In this way for about Bix years, It Is sent out with about six pairs of laces, or a few matches, and with these It continually molests ladles and gentle men and asks them to buy or give a few coppers. It keeps going out with these until about 16 or 17, and then loaves home to get married, lly that time they know where to buy their stock of ferns, flowers, laces and matches, and where to borrow babies, etc." A description followed of the beg gars' homes and their weekly "feats," and the document then went on to de scribe the beggars' summer holiday, which. It snid, was the only time when the beggar did any work. They "went on the rond" to Kent, begging all tho way, and after working for three or four weeks at fruit picking thoy drew their money, spent It at tho nearest public house, and after-1 wards got a Job at hop picking with GIVES $1,500,000 TO NURSE New Yorker, Long a Cripple, Leaves Most of Hie Fortune to House keeper, Miss Peregrine.

"As for buying new clothes with It, you might as well ask a brick wall to get out of your way." In sentencing tbe man to Ave days' Imprisonment, the magistrate said that Clutterbuck had apparently made such a study of vagrant life that he bad become a vagrant himself.

Berkeley, Cal. Seventeen co-eds of the Benlor class at the state university broke up a rehearsal on the stage ol the Greek theater, declining to allow male members of the class to put thelt arms around them. The objection of the senior girls followed an attempt of Fred Carllslo, the coach, to have the co-eds of the "Baby Doll" chorus of "The Hop King." the commence ment week play of the class, fall Into the arms of male chorus men at the conclusion of the dance. . Claiming that they were not ac quainted with the owners of the arms, never having been Introduced to the men, the co-eds declined the proposed first meeting familiarity. Coach Carlisle and members of the cast attempted to smooth over the strike of the co-eds, but they remained obdurate and the scene was temporarily dropped. The girls say they came up to the exigencies of the production by appearing In short dresses and the proposed fa miliarity was altogether lacking In dignity. The feature will be drop ped for the present unless Carlisle Is able to bring the men and women of the chorus closer together. Embargo on British Live Stock. London.

Mr. Brown has seen the inside of prison walls In every section of the country, always on the sole charge of not having enough money to buy food or a bed. The need of municipal lodging bouses and similar Institutions Is the same everywhere, ho says. His final trips, Just completed, ' was through southern cities. "I started from Cleveland last fall," he said. "From there I went to Cin cinnati, Loulsvlllo, Memphis, Mobile, Houston and Dallas.

What was the character of HosheaT The implication of v. 2 is that, though he allowed the practices of Idolatry and the other evils of his predeces sors, yet he was a better man than they. Perhaps the teachings of Ilosoa had reached his heart. "About his personal character we know little. We may Infer that It lacked decisive en ergy and lofty patriotism. Beginning his reign as a mere puppet in As syria's hands, be shaped his career as an opportunist. He wos too astute to offend nny national susceptibilities by abandoning tho worship of Jehovah, too cautious and politic to play the role of a purist In religious practices. The Impartial historian will not Judgo this last king of Ephrluin too severely, but will unhesitatingly ad-nlt that be lived In times of direst dllllculty and peril, when nothing but miraculous divinely guided statesmanship, like that of Isaiah, could have saved the realm from overwhelming disaster." The Northern Kingdom bud had Its chnnce, and bad thrown it away. "There Is less hope for us each year and day we live In sin. Every hour we are drifting out to sea the help less, belmless bark Is leaving the les sening shore farther and farther be hind. Our disease becomes Incurable. Like those stones which, though soft as clay on being raised from the quar ry, grow bard as flint through ex posure to the weather, our hearts are growing harder day by day." Hoshea's imprisonment Is a fair sample of the result of dependence upon men rather than God. Trust In Egypt was Israel's Bnare from the first. The prophets compared It to trusting In a shadow or making a stall out of a bruised reed. "The bankrupt who asks a bankrupt to set blm up In business again Is only losing time. The. prisoner docs not beg bis fellow pris oner to sot blm free. The shipwrecked sailor does not call upon his ship wrecked comrade to place him safe ashore." In our troubles we are not to scorn tbe aid of men, but we are to know that without God's favor and assistance all human help Is vain. What measures did Shalmanesec take to reduco to submission his re bellious vassal? He sent (or led in person) an army against him. Profes sor Rogers thinks that Hoshea marched out to meet this army, and was then captured and sent to As syria as a prisoner. At any rate, "Samaria prepared for a siege. There Is something heroic In the very thought. It was surrounded and hemmed In by territory over which It had once ruled In undisputed sway, but which hud long been controlled by Assyrian governors and filled with Ar syrlan colonists. As Shalmaneser ad vaiiced closer he would, of course destroy and lay waste everything about the city which might have furnished any aid or comfort to It. From the villages and towns thus destroyed th people, would flock Into the capitaJ until It wag crowded. Tbe people ol Samaria may huvo hoped for help from Egypt, watching with sick hearts foi signs of an approaching army of sue cor. They knew what Burrendei meant In the loss of their city, and lc probable deportation to strango lands They were fighting to the bitter end for homes and for life. What God had done: By a mnrvel ous deliverance, he hnd brought there out of their bonduge In Egypt. H had driven out the Canaanltes from before them. Ho hud given them the commundments, and full and wist laws. He bad made a covenant wits them, over and over, promising them all blessings If they would obey him. He had sent them the prophots and seers, the best and wisest of men, tq declare bis will and lead tho way. What Israel had done: They. had fallen Into a worse bondage, becoming slaves of an abominable Idolatry. They bad fullen to worshiping tbe very gods of the Canaanltes, thus proved power less. They hnd brokon the command ments, especially the most solemn and Important, that against Idolatry. They had failed to keep their part of the covenant, and could not expect God to keep his part. They would not lis ten to the prophets, but persisted In all Iniquity, Betting up Idolatrous obe lisks, and Asherlm, and even sacrific ing their children to the Are god Mo lech.

It started wltli a slight eruption and would affect most parts of his body, thighs, elbows, chest, buck and abdomen and wnulJ terminate In little pustulcB. The Itch ing and burning was dreadful anil lie would almost tear his skin apart, try ing to get relief. I recommended all tbe various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollar) on prescriptions, but nothing seciM to help him. "In the meantime my wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been try ing different prescriptions and inch ods with my assistance, told nio sh was going to get some of the Ctitlnin Remedies and give them a fair trial. But as I did not know much about Cuticura at that time I was doubtful whether It would help her. Her nkti would thicken, break and bleed, e j.cclully on the fingers, wrists and nrms. I could do nothing to relltn her permanently. When she flrxt ap plied tho warm baths of Cuticun Soap and applications of Cuikun Ointment she saw a decided Improve ment and In a few days she was cos pletely cured. "I lost no time In recommtnJIni the Cutlcura Remedies to Mr. , and this was two months ago. I toll him to wash with warm baths of tbe Cutlcura Soap and to apply the Cutl cura Ointment generously.
