LINEN Is perhaps more used tlian any other ' material when' em broidery is to be done for art, lousehold purpose anil wearing ap arel. Much as we line linen nowaday, for ur table, our beds and our bodies, It n not a new medium for embroidery, t Is ages old, as for centuries linen embroidery has been a domestic in lURtry In foreign lands. Tbls old work Is now being copied vldely and the special work belong tig to different lands Is easily recng lizod. Thus the old Spanish, Itallnn tnd Greek embroidery on the linen nas chiefly dono In one color a pur jle red. A great variety of colors nixed with gold and silver thread Is haractertstlc of Oriental work. A similar richness of coloring, but jenerally without the gold and silver .ouches, marks the Hungarian, Slav, nd Swedish peasant work. Old bluo ed and yellow are the predominating OUP. Much of the Italian embroidery of .he sixteenth anil seventeenth cen :urles was done on very fine linen totnetlmes la colors, but nidre often In white, with Intricute stltchery and much cut and openwork. The modern r, however, rarely has patience for this exquisite stltchery of the olden :lmes. 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 conrser, so 1 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-blenched, and without nuch 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 tho art needlework department. She will gladly advise you the best grade for your special purposes. Linen embroidery may be classed inder 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 ;be threads of tho materiul, as In Eng Dainty Costumes THE dulnty frock at the loft Is of white voile made up over pink taffeta. It Is In empire style, shirred at the top and again at Uie 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 largest girl Is of white pique. The skirt Is encircled with a wide bund of KngllBh embroi dery and with tucks which are em broidered with dots. The Jacket U IN fOQUD White for all occasions is to be .worn this spring and summer. All kinds of laces are in use heavy ones and tho daintiest and filmiest. High, small turbans are trimmed with cabochons of garden flowers on the .side. ahorter slecvea are looked for In the models that are.o be worn In the com ing summer. Higher and higher mount the toques, higher nnd higher soar the feathery adornments. There is a combination of Trench 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 It more and more Inclined to assume the con- tha TTmiitm Affect Is still to be seen. For reception and lish embroidery, satin stitch, Kensing ton, Chinese and Madeira embroi deries. No linen embroidery covers the en tire ground of the material, but leaves spares of tho linen for a background to tho design. There are Interesting lmiorted lin ens to be found In most establish ments that are adapted to both kinds of lliion embroidery. Besides 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 Bntavla are used for bolder effects and coarser stltchery, and Itusslan linens and tho different kinds of canvas gives stitches of nny 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 timo 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 muke 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 scallop with machine stitching before buttonholing. Or in cutting leave a narrow margin and turn back under the scallop and hem to the material. If these aro too much trouble, at least wash the linen before cutting out. The material shrinks and Is mucb less likely to fray. Where the entire piece Is not washed, the embroidered edfe ran be 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 boles 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 find 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 pearl buttons. The col lur Is of English embroidery bordered with the dotted bands. Tho charming little cont is of light blue alpaca.

But foi the street all this is out of place; It gives the wearer a silhouette that is untidy, and suggests a looseness that lfi altogether objectionable. In regard alto to evening gowns the same fault rnaj be found. So long as a toilette is to e worn chiefly while walking or stnndir, the 'short waist Is permis sible even desirable but for a din ner, concert or theater It Is no longer so.

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 Beggar" was written In an Infirmary by Albert Clutterbuck. aged 13, who was charged with begging at Marylebone police court. Parts of this, based on what the man heard 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 Notting 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 the 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 them to get rid of them. "When the child has been learning in this way for about six 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 leaves home to get married. By that time they know where to buy tholr 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 Baid, was the only time when the beggar did any work. They "went on the road" to Kent, begging all tbo way, and after working for three or four weeks at fruit picking they drew their money, spent it at tho nearest nublic house, and after- wards got a Job at hop picking with GIVES $1,500,000 TO NURSE New Yorker, Long a Cripple, Leaves Most of His Fortune to House keeper, Miss Peregrine.

Berkeley, Cal. Seventeen co-eds ol the senior 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 their arms around them. The objection of the senior girls followed an attempt of Fred Carllslo, the coach, to have the coeds of the "Buby Doll chorus of "The Hop King." the commence ment week play of the class, fall Into the arms of mule chorus meu at the conclusion of the dance. Claiming that they were not ac qualnted 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 mlllarltv was altogether lacking In dignity. The feature will be drop- ued for the present unless Carlisle Is able to bring the men and women of the chorus closer together. Embargo on British Live Stock. London.

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 Hosoa hnd 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, he shaped his career as an opportunist. He was too astute to offend any national susceptibilities by abandoning tho worship of Jehovah, too cautious and politic to play the role of a purist in religious practices. he Impartial historian will not Judge this last king of Ephrlam too severely, but will unhesitatingly admit that he lived in times of direst dilllculty and peril, when nothing but miraculous Ivlucly guided statesmanship, una that of Isaiah, could have Buved the realm from overwhelming disaster." The Northern Kingdom hud had Its chnnro, and had thrown It away. There Is less hope for us each year and day we live in sin. Every hour e are drifting out to sea the help less, helmless bark Is leaving the lea- enlng shore farther and farther be hind. Our disease becomes Incurable. Ike those stones which, though soft as clay on being raised from the quar ry, grow hard as flint through ex posure to the weather, our hearU are growing harder day by day." Hoshea's Imprisonment Is a fair sample of the result of dependence pon men rather than God. Trust in Kgypt was Israel's snare 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 him up In business again Is only losing time. The prisoner does not beg his fellow pris oner to set him 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 the aid of men, but we are to know that without God's favor and assistance all human help Is vain. What measures did Shalmaneser tuke to reduce to submission bis re bellious vassal? He sent (or led la person) an army against him. Profes- Bor 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 had long been controlled b? Assyrian governors and filled with Ar syrlan colonists. As Shalmaneser ad vanced closer he would, of course destroy and lay waste everything about the city which might have furnished any aid or comfort to It. From th villages and towns thus destroyed the people would nock into the capital until it was crowded. The people ol Samtrla may have hoped for help from Egypt, watching with sick hearts foi signs of an approaching army of sue cor. They knew what surrendei meant in the loss of their city, and lc probable deportation to strange lands They were fighting to the bitter end for homes and for life. What God had done: By a marvel ous deliverance, he had brought thera out of their bonduge In Egypt. . H bad driven out the Canaanltes from before them. He had given them the commandments, and full and wist laws. He bad made a covenant witb them, over and over, promising then all blessings If they would obey him. He had sent them the prophets and seers, the best and wisest of men, to declare his will and lead the way. What Israel had done: They. had fallen Into a worse bondage, becoming slaves of an abominable Idolatry. They had fallen to worshiping the very gods of the Canaanltes, thus proved power less. They had broken 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, setting up Idolatrous obe lisks, and Asherim, and even sacrific ing their children to the fire god Mo lech.
