Harmony and Color
So necessary in every home arc found in the unique beauty of the
La France pictures on tapestry and the mirrors tinished with ta
pestried pictures. Each a living dream of color, vibrant feeling and
human interest. The far-off Java, Ceylon, Rangoon, Shanghai all
are exquisitely perpetuated in these pictures that beauty-loving people
everywhere may have those very scenes in their own homes. Not
only do the blazing glory of the Orient, the tranquillity of quaint
Norman and Flemish village life .".nd portraits of unusual folk form
the subjects of the reproductions, but the ever changing sea and the
vessels that ride it’s waves, the inspiriation for pictures that are a
general appeal appeal to all members of the family.
All framed in exquisite mouldings of gold polychrome or burnish
ed blue and gold.

Helen’s Novelty Nook
TWO O’NEILL GIRLS
SERIOUSLY INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Failing to see the turn in the road
because of the heavy fog is thought
to he responsible for the overturning
of the Paul Schwisow truck and the
serious injury of Miss Helen Schwisow
and Miss Beryl WincheU last Friday
evening. Both girls were still un
conscious when found by B. T. Win
ehell. father of Beryl, at about 12:30
o’clock that night, four hours after
the accident is thought to have occur
red. Neither of them regained con
sciousness until the following morn
ing. The night was quite cold and
% the girls suffered extremely from ex
posure. Miss Helen received a severe
blow on the head from which she is
still suffering, a collarbone was also
broken; Miss Beryl suffered a fractur
ed hip and several deep cuts upon her
person which caused her to lose a
considerable quantity of blood. Miss
Beryl was taken to the Lutheran
hospital in Norfolk Monday morning.
^ Miss Helen was taken to the same
hospital today by Dr. H. L. Bennett,
where they will receive treatment.
The girls were hiding clues for a
treasure hunt and were driving the
Schwisow truck; as they did not re
turn to the place of starting at a late
hour, a search was begun for them.
It seemed that the girls arrived at the
corner before they realized where they
were because of the heavy fog that
hung over this vicinity that evening;
the truck evidently crashed into the
trbes beyond the turn in the road be
fore they could stop it; both girls were
thrown from the truck; the truck was
standing upright when found, but the
indications were that it had turned
ovci.
THE CLYDE KING BUICK
STOLEN TUESDAY MORNING
The new 1929 Buick belonging to
Clyde King was stolen some time
after two o’clock Tuesday morning.
Mrs. King and daughter, Miss Cath
erine, had each been to parties that
evening and had returned home late.
The car gears and transmission had
been locked and the key brought into
the house.
Nothing has been learned that would
indicate which way the car was taken
or by whom.
Mr. King says that an effort was
made some time Sunday night to re
move the east window of the garage.
The frame had been partly pried from
the building and the window was
raised as far as it would go, which
was not far enough to admit the body
of a man. It is thought that the
thieves endeavored to remove the
window in order to permit them to get
to the car without being seen from
the lighted street. The garage was
not locked.
The car was covered by insurance.

and breaks branches. Some one pro
poses to climb a hill. Tommy remains
and falls asleep. Faries mischiev
ously plot to teach him a lesson by
casting a spell and showing him what
harm thoughtless pranks mean to
Worest Folk. Tommy is tried in the

He is about to be sentenced when the

past good deed Tommy had done in
saving a butterfly caught in a spider
