When the train has backed slowly Into the station, the crowd has been as neatly packed as though the scene were on a Holly wood lot. The only movement possi ble Is of the facial muscles. "Some one catches a glimpse of a well known figure. . . . Starling has his men so banked that several thorn" sand tons of human flfesh are held hack during the moments occupied by the inevitable hand shaking and beaming. The President walks towards his car through a corridor of blue clothes and shouting men. Secret service men are In front of him and behind him and at each side, ready to provide effective Interference If necessary. Police Help Out. “Along the line of march policemen have been stationed by the hundreds. If necessary, reinforcements have been called In from other cities. Secret service men dogtrot by the side of’ the Presidential car and behind It, their eyes fastened on the men and women packed solidly against the curb.

If he be a wise builder he will take precau tions and have lightning rods placed on the roof of his house and will seek protection against fire and storms through adequate Insurance. If he does this he will be secured against the ravages of the elements, if he fails so to do, whose fault Is it If the elements play havoc with his build ing? He certainly cannot Justly place the blame upon anybody but himself. A storm in the economic world struck hard upon the financial struc tures many persons set up. Proper protaetton In some cases speeded ycf covery; where this protection was «b- lent the Inevitable was the result. No house built upon sand can withstand the havoc of storms. While self-pity dominates the minds of some persons, the contrary attitude* Is discovered In other experiences. A man who suffered a very heavy loss financially, remarked that perhaps It was worth It, because he discovered the value of his own health, and who T his friends were That man had some thing left to Wld on. When the finer resources of the mind and soul are burned out by worry and self-pity, noth ing remains upon which another struc ture can be built The only enduring substance upon which any perma nent recovery la possible lies within.

T APESTRIES are unexcelled for fascinating wall decorations. They vie with rare paintings which alone finest painters made designs for tapes tries. Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michel Angelo, among the very early artists and Rubens, Van Dyke and Durer also made the drawings, or car toons as they are called, for famous tapestries. Tapestries are considered woven tex tiles but the weaving is a distinct and different type from regular weaving, even hand weaving as it Is known to day. It Is, of course, woven by hand, but the colors are either Introduced on tiny separate bobbins or by means of a sort of threaded needle passed axar, under and about Whichever way the colors are Intro duced by hand, they are woven Into the gorgeous pictorial patterns In the same way. r . . An Embroidered Tapestry. II li IfitemtlRf *0 note the most famous of all tapestries Is not actually a tapestry In the strict est sense, but Is an embroidered pic ture. It was Queen Mathilda of Eng land who told the story of her famous husband William the Conqueror's ex ploits not with her pen but with her needle. There are people, ships, ani mals, trees, earth, and sea, all wrought In colors which today are a feast to the eye Just to look upon. The founda tion Is fine linen unornamented except In the embroidered portions, which tell the story which is real history. Un like other tapestries which are of large proportions the linen of the Bayeaux tapestry Is only some 24 Inches wide. While Its width is slight, Its length makes up for It, being 227 feet The background is a wonderful bit of wear ing. The embroidery la the most stu pendous undertaking of all ages, and shows marvelously against the uu- worked foundation. It Is this embroidered tapestry which lends sanction to the thought of mod ern tapestry embroideries.
