768 X FOR HALF SHEETS OF PAPER Mandy Device In Which Small Pleces for Memorandum Purposes May Be Kept, 8o many people are in the habit of tearins the unused half sheet of note paper from their letters, and saving it for memoranda purposes, that the Solder shown in our sketch for con- taining half sheets should appeal to many of our readers, It can be made with the 1lid of a eardboard box, and in size it should Pe about six inches in width and eight faches in length. To obtain the re- quired ehape, a portiyn of the lid will Bave to De cut away, and this is clear- %y shown in diagram A on the right ot the sketch, the dotted lines indicating yqi1es gurmounting brass lamps for that part of the 1id which can be dis- pensed with, A second plece of cardboard mnst' Be cut to fit across the front (diagram B), and both pleces smoothly covered ' with silk and then sewn together, the seam afterwards being hidden with a silk cord, which is also used for fin- Mshing off the edges throughout. On the material covering the front of the Dolder, the words “Lest we forget™ man be worked in silk in some strong- ¥y contrasting color, and this should, o sourse, be done prior to covering s cardboard. A small ring is sewn on at the top b which holder and contents may be bung upon & naii in the wall by the wde of the writing table. This holder would be useful for oth- e purposes than that suggested, and #t would make a useful receptacle for leiters for the post, and in that case % might have “Letters for the post” mmbroidered upon the front in place f “Lest we forget.” THE BRASS ORNAMENTS THE RAGE Seemingly Cannot Be Too Much. of Such Ornamentation In the Mod- ern Homes of the Wealthy. So strong an allure have brasses that it is small wonder that more and more are they to be found in homes of every degree of prosperity. Any woman who can afford to is certain to keep her choicest blankets in a brass- bound cedar chest. These boxes are roomy affairs, and the amount of stuft which they hold is amazing. No Il brary or living room is complete with- out a four-sectioned, revolving book rack of plain hammered or filigree brass, no entrance hall as it should be without its censer of hand-wrought burner of the same metal. desk there are tiny clocks having two inch dials, very clearly numbered; calendar frames, round and oblong pin and pen trays, memorandum pads and bottles of liquids of hammered or etched brass, and for the dining room | there are sconces, candelabra, candle- : sticks, coffee services, loving cups and | | finger bowls of the beaten metal. | ! Brass and copper combined comes in . varlous useful articles of most at- tractive appearance, A very handsome type of fern dish is of brass in basket. woven style, with copper-bound sides, and another is of brass, bound and adorned with copper spikes, Most fas- cinating are the chafing dishes of cop- . per and with brass handles and stand- ards and the shiny little copper tea . alcohol. ; New Cushlons, | In one of the newer hotels of New York city there is a reception room 'furnished in old blue. Some of the chairs of white are fitted with remov- able flat cushions, made without an upright strip—just flat padded envel- opelike cushions. They are of blue, of course. They are held to the backs of the chairs by blue silk tasseled cords. The effect is pleasing and {can be copied by the woman who is fitting up wicker chairs for summer ! gervice. Cotton cord of an appropri- ate color can be bought by the yard, cut into proper lengths and finished with two-toned cotton tassels.

The animals | were better, and I was deep in a half ' philosophical contemplation of a huge lon blinking lazily, like a contented 'cat. when a flurry of words in a for- eign tongue roused me sharply from my revery. I found I was very near an actor’s tent and felt rather pleased 'at the idea of hearing some of their !talk from the inside. But soon this half superior fecling was swept away by the soft, tearful sound of a woman'’s voice—a young voice—touched with childish indecision. “It I8 not £o0,” she sald. “Jekko | lies, and you must know it. He is & | braggart and boasts that all the wo- i men are in Jove with him. I never { see him. I tell you it is not so.” Her voice trembled with emotion, But the man whom I had heard be- fore answered nothing. He sneered. “Answer me, Karl” she pleaded. ' “Tell me that you believe me.” “No, I know better,” and he laughed. “But Karl—" “That’s enough. Keep quiet. I ! know what I know.,” he cried harshly, | and there the dialogue ended, I could hear the performance begin- ning, but I did not move. My interest was centered in the quarrel I had just heard. I wished to see the end of the tragedy. After all, what did it matter it I indulged an idle curiosity? After a few moments a hand pushed aside the canvas flaps and they ap- peared. I watched them keenly and, as I did so, an unaccountable shiver ran through me. The woman, quite young—almost a girl—was glight, slen- der, admirably proportioned, and all in | white. She did not have that fagged- out, world-worn look of the ordinary circus woman, and seemed singularly out of place. Fair and delicate, with great blue eyes, reddened with weep- ing, she seemed hardly to touch the earth as she stepped lightly over the sawdust alleys. Her companion offered a singular contrast to her. He was a typical Bo- hemian, tall, strong and handsome. His pale, olive complexion was paler, and hig dark eyes darker with jeal ousy and passion. His thin lips were tightly closed. I stepped nolselessly past them to my seat in the auditorlum. But the performance was even duller than I He Was a Typlcal Bohemian. anticipated and I fell to wondering which of the many trapezists listed on the program were the two in whom I was interested. At last they entered the ring. I fol- lowed their every motion with the glasses. In a moment they had swung themselves to dizzy helghts. Their bodies, moved rhythmically, ever quicker, until they reached the highest possible point and paused before thelr last and most intrepid feat. It re- quired an extraordinary precision of movement, a mathematically exact calculation of distance, and was an- nounced 2s the climax of the evening. The tiny white figure of the girl, so light and lithe, was perched on the highest trapeze. The man lower than she, yet far above the audience, was hanging head downward, with his face turned toward me. With the trapeze in full swing, she was to hurl herself backward in a double somersault and catch herself by the hands of her partner. On him I fixed my glasses. As I looked, a whirl of white came down straight toward him. But it did not stop. It fell far below into the net and lay there limp and lifeless. A hor rible accident, thought the shivering erowd, but I had watched the man and seen the crime. At the instant when he should have clasped the girl'a hand he withdrew his own by a barely perceptible mo- tion and let her fall headlong into the dread void below.

MARSHALL & SANDERS Phone 228 Blue Postal Fire Service. A system has been established in Germany by which the postal automo- biles are made use of to bring reliet from the larger cities to smaller ones threatened by fire. Only the larger cities of Germany are supplied with fire-fighting apparatus, and in the event of fire or a serious conflagra- tion happering in one of them located at a distavce of more than ten miles from an established fire department the apparzius will be secured to a postal aut-mobile and drawn to the scene of ‘1 fire.

EBIVE TOUCH OF COLOR SMALL BITS RELIEVE SIMPLICITY OF SEASON’S COSTUMES. if Preferred, the Most Audaclous Bril {lance Is Strictly in Style, Though the Quieter Modes Are the Ones Generally Chosen. For early season wear there are charming costumes made up of soft, supple broadcloths and cotton velvet. These models are, on the whole, sim- ple of line. They have, perhaps, & touch of lace at the upper part of the podice and sleeves, or a trimming line of buttons and loops or trimming on collar and cuffs of Bulgarian embroid- .ery, to give a gay touch of color to the | costume,. brilliant and audacious colorings are shown this spring in millinery and |in the new dress fabrics, particularly among the silks. Parisian drussmu-; | kers and milliners revel in this sort | iu( thing, but such revels are danger- Green Satin Trimmed With White Lace and Black Satin, ous for the designer who has not the French color sense. There are ~ll shades of red, green, yellow and blue which are entirely new. Then there is a soft white with a violet tinge in it which may be called, perhaps, a pastel, washed-out lilac. At a showing of imported models at a recent opening was a frock of Orl- ental red satin with revers and girdle of greenish blue satin. The buttons which trimmed the front of the gown were of the green-blue satin. Over the revers were frills of soft cream lace. There were models also which were of less striking color schemes, or were made entirely of one color excepting a trimming of soft cream or white lace. One admirable frock, which is shown in the large sketch, was of apricot broadcloth. The collar, vest and low er part of the sleeves were of white crepe de chine. The buttonholes and glass buttons which trimmed the bod- ice and sleeves were of the apricot shade. Bands of the material trimmed the bodice and formed thie girdle and edged the lower part of the sleeve. Flat bows of the material finished the girdle at the front, and band trim- ming outlined the low-cut bodice. There was a tunic in godet shape slightly raised at the front. The un- derskirt was crossed over at the front and trimmed with large buttons of the material. The new shades of green shown this spring are trying to the average woman, but have possibilities of be- ing softened by means of white trim- ming at the neck and of being toned down by touches of black satin or vel- vet. A model, for instance, was of green satin trimmed.with white frills at the neck and wrists and black sat in bands. The bodice has the long shoulder effect and was trimmed at the front by small tucks and material buttons. The skirt was draped at one side and had the yoke effect given by small tucks which slanted away from the front toward the back. A coat of green brocade had also smart touches of black on the lapels and cuffs. The lapels were of cream white cloth and the lower revers were also of the cream white cloth.
