-EYELET EMBROIDERY IS CHIC

Study this combination of rose eye

Indications it is safe to predict that
eyelet embroidery Is to be a very pop

JET OF NOW AND YEARS AGO
Trimming Decidedly Popular and
Found in Many of the Most
interesting Gowns.
Jet is especlally In evidence on the
little evening caps that they began to
wear last winter and that tire still con
sidered new enough to be very smart,
They consist of bands of jet with per
iaps a tassel or other pendant over
the side. Sometimes there are two that
hang down resembling two great ear
rings, but in reality they are attached
to the binds ot the headdress. Thea

of the most interesting gowns. It is
positively barbaric at times, and for

gerous, the young girl who always tre
mendously admires the vampire in the
play, there Is nothing so effective -as
a jet trimmed velvet gown. It Is un
derstood, of course, that the black part
should be of tulle or lace or somothing
transparent and that there should be
sullicient opportunity to see the gleam
of white arms and shoulders beside
or through the back.
Rags of all sort are trimmed with
black jet and umbrella handles are
likewise so adorned. Though jet bead
trinmed slippers have not made any
headvay to speak of, jet buckles are
sure to fIlnd favor with the American
woman, who always thinks more about
shoe )uckles than does the French
woman.
Tho present role of jet is rather

just at little harbarie. Couid anything

RETAIN OLD RELIGIOUS RITE
Quapaw Indians Stick to Form of Wor.
ship of Which Feast Forms an
Important Part.
In the vicinity of Devil's Hollow,
several miles east of Quapaw, Okla.,
there Is a wigwam-shaped church
building located miles from any white
1ma's habitation, and a long distance
from the nearest Indian domicile,
where the Quapaw full-blooded Indians
congregate regularly to worship the
Great Spirit in silence. They sit about
a tiny Jire that has been built on a
stone base in the middle of the dirt
floor, from Saturday night at sundown
till Sunday noon, fasting and praying,
but never speaking a word.
A feature of their church meetings
is the feast that follows the fast and
religious rites. The meal Is served
in a little mess house nearby, and
when the services are over the squaws,
who have slipp'ed out a few hours be
fore the time to close, are ready with
the dinner and all sit down to partake
of the food that is always a part of the
program.
The church was built niany years
ago, so that the residents might have
a place to worship, a custom still kept
ill, regardless of the fact that there Is
ao preacher, no choir, nothing to call
them but the religious spirit of the In
dian. Chief Quapaw owns nearly 1,000
acres of land In this region, but when
lie was offered $20,000 for a few acres
of It that lay in the city of Quapaw,
whieh was nanied after him, ie re
fused because, he saifd, he knew the
white nin would try to get the money,
but could not get the land awa from
him.
DRAWS MUSIC FROM A SAW
New Yorker Gets Startling and Pleas.
Ing Effects by Using the Tool
as a Violin.
The conventional saw has recently
appeared in a new role--namely, as a
musical Instrument. Indeed, one of
ihe leading novelties of a current New
York musical revue is the musical car
penter who uses his saw as a violin.
A fter protracted experimentation
and untiring practice, Sum Moore of
New York city lias succeeded in get
ting very agreeable music from ordin
ary carpenter's saw, according to the
Scientile Amerlean. Ife holds the saw
handie between his ieym, holds th tip
of the saw in one hand and works the
usual violin how with the other. The
vibrating steel blade emits soft, ap1)
pealing notes, the pitch of which is
varied by changing the curvature of
the blade.
All sorts of queer effects can be
obtained by the adept manipuidlon
of the blade; In fact, the music de
rived by this means can hardly be de
scribed. If anything, it resembles tihe
human voice; then again It has the
queer wall of the Hawallan Ukulele.
All iII aill, the effect Is startling and
pleasing.

A recent number of tihe French buh
