IS CONSULTED BY UNCLE SAM Inborn Skill, Study Abroad, and Teaching Have Made This Cana dian Woman One of the Great est Lace Connoisseurs In This Country. By RICHARD SPILLANE. (Copyright, MeCluro Newspaper Syndicate.) Whenever tho United States cub toms authorities at one of the largo ports along tho Atlantic havo laces or other delicate fabrics about tho value of,.wh!ch they are in doubt, there 1b one rulo to follow. That Is to send for Sara Hadley. In tho estimation of the government, she knows mora about needlework than any other wom an in America. Sho is America's great lace expert. There is not a stitch that 1b known to woman that she isn't mis tress of. There isn't a thread that ever was mado that she doesn't know the history of- There isn't a precious pleco of lace work handed down from former centuries that she doesn't know as well as tho most famous of art experts know tho work of Michael Angelo, Rubens, or any of tho other great masters. Whatever she says about tho product of the needle is ac cepted as gospel. Some girls take naturally to needle work. Sara Hadley was one of them. Sho is a Canadian, having been bora In Chatham, which isn't far from De troit. She had a local reputation bo- fore sho was tweh? yeprs old for her remarkablo work in the sewing line. Her people wore well to do and thero was no particular reason why sho should apply herself to needlework, but sho had so much lovo for making pretty things and so much patlenco that her parents determined to in dulge her to the fullest and give to her every opportunity to learn all thero was to be learned about tho art. After she got through school on this sldo of tho water, they sent her abroad. She finished her regular studies in a fa mous educational institution and then she took a sort of postgraduate course by traveling all over Europe. Sho didn't travel as most women travel, bat west to live among tho peasants to study their work with the needle. There she got moro knowledge about laoo making than sho ever absorbed through books or regular teaching. Through France, Belgium, Switzer land, Italy, Sweden and Ireland sho went on her mission of study. It took years of earnest work, but they vero happy years. Wat Forced Into Business. When sho returned to this side of the Atlantic she had no intention of making a business use of her accom plishments. Some persons aro forced into business. - Miss Hadley couldn't help sewing. It was second nature to her. Women who saw her work or heard about it questioned her. Then thoy told oth ers about her. That led to a lot of visitors. They made all sorts of sug gestions to her as to what she should do. Some of them wanted to take loBsons from her. Sho wont to Now York and had the samo experience sho had In other cities. She was in duced to givo lesBons in embroidery and tho most delicate of needlework to a small class of women. That paid her so well that she took anothor class. (Teaching was easy for her. A little later sho began to writo about lace and as a result of that writing sho became editor of a mag azine known as tho Laco Maker. Col lectors consulted Miss Hadley when ever thoy wlHhed to buy flno laces. Mu seums asked her judgment and em ployed her to search the history of such lacos as thoy possessed. Tho government recognized her officially by using her writings and her exam ples as tho basis for instruction in needlework In tho government Bchools In Porto Rico, the Philippines nnd elsowhore. Then sho got to buying laces and displaying thorn. Probacy no woman who ever lived lias had moro influence on needlework ers than Miss Hadley. Sho has in vented all sorts of stitches, and cre ated a multitudo of new designs. It wps she wbo Introduced tho dolly and taMe, laces generally. Tho Inserting 5f laco into linen for tablo laces was tier work. Sho can copy nny plcturo In lace. Sho can represent any stylo jr any period with tho deft touches if tho needle. Now a Great Lace Dealer. From her start ns teacher and her work as editor and advisor to collect ors, Miss Hadley has grown gradually to bo ono of tho great laco dealers of America. Many of her treasures tho public never see. All the moro beau tiful of her laces aro hidden away in great safes, guarded ob jealously as tho Maiden Lano dlumond merchants guard their most predouB Jewels. And why not? Some of these laces aro eight centuries old. There are pieces of gowns worn by priests, bish ops and princes of the church ngos boforo Columbus was born. Thero aro collars that were worn by tho doges of Venice in tho time of Vene tian greatness. Thoy nro very thin, Tery frail, very fllray. Thoy nro worth a hundred times their weight in gold. ,They are tho very flneBt examples of Venetian laco making, but Venice played only oue part In the history of laco making. Tho llelglans nro fa mous for tholr work. So aro tho French. So nro tho Irish. So are the Danes. People go to seo Miss Hadlcy's laces as they go to seo old friends, or as pcoplo go to the Metro politan museum to feast upon its treasures. To somo persons old laces have a very strong personal appeal. When Miss Hadley disposes of ono of her belonglngB that sho has had for a long time, the regulars Blgh, If they do not actually mourn. Thero probably is not another busi ness in all. New York just like that of this laco maker from a llttlo Cana dian town. Sho has the histories nnd the romances of hundreds of families In tho goods sho deals in. Many of her laces aro heirlooms. Somo aro old-time laco shawls that havo been in ono family for two, three, four or flvo generations. Somo of them aro very old nnd very rare. Now It Is tho faBhton for us to uso theso as wedding veils or as decorations for wedding dresses. Tho more of his tory there Is to ono of theBO ex quisite bits of lace, tho moro valu able. She Can Repair Anything. Now and then a tearful woman will come to Miss Hadley and throw her self on her mercy. Sho mny bo n mil lionaire or a run-down Knickerbocker. It matters not, If It so happens that A Tearful Woman Will one of her old laces has been torn by accident or through tho carelessness of a servant That laco has been the Joy of her life, the prido of all her possessions. If MIbs Hadley cannot mend it, what 1b sho to do? Miss Had ley does mend it. It may take months, sometimes it takes a year if the dam ago is particularly bad, but sho can mend anything that a needle is capa bio of mending. It does not signify if it is point appllquo, or roso point, or brugo, or Venetian, or carrlckma cross, or burnno; onco she sees tho stitch and tho design, tho rest Is mere ly a mattor of patience a patience most trying in somo instances. To assist her In her work, tho lnco expert has had to train qulto a largo numbor of womon. Somo of theso nro going to tako up tho lino of teaching later on. The work thoy aro now do ing Is delicate. In tho extreme; It Is so flno that thoy cannot work at It moro than two or three hours a day. On somo of tho pieces mado by laco makerB tho nccdloworker is employed two or threo years. Tho number of stitches they take Is In tho millions. They mako things as small as a but terfly and they mako others things as largo as a great tablecloth that would cover n board of tho most generous proportions. No painter ever gavo moro attention to detail than do these remarkable needloworkors in carrying out tho designs in theso fabrics. They havo to know art nnd they havo to know history. They stitch out Egypt's most famous queen just as easily as they do tho plainest of mosaic work. Rich Women Her Pupils. Probably no woman in tho world has had moro rich womon for her pu pils than has this nccdleworker from Canada. Ono of tho first women she taught whon sho camo to Now York was Mrs. Wllllnm Astor. Her second or third was Mrs. Collls T. Hunting ton. To give tho wholo Hat would bo llko repeating tho Bluo Book. Mrs. Huntington has como to bo ono of tho greatest collectors in Amer ica. Her laces aro of fabulous value. Sho has given moro earnost study to tho history of laco than any other of tho rich womon that havo shown ox portness In needlework. Sho is al most qualified to ho n laco oxpert her self. If sho lost all lior monoy to morrow, she could cam a good living from her knowledgo of laces. To Miss Hadloy's mind no business open to women today offers greator opportunities than lnco making. It Is broad in its scopo. It takes in tho poor girl and tho girl who Is gontly brod. Its rewards aro largo to thoso who master it. It practically Is In its fciJI , ,,ViVW!'lHi.., nit wBM infancy In the United States. So long as thero Is wealth, nnd, tho lovo of tho beautiful, laco making will endure. There Is no renson why Amerlcnn laco makers should not, it well taught, bo como tho equal of tho European, Tho American girls who hnvo taken up, lace making and have been ambitious and havo had their heart in their work, havo made surprising progress. Some of them, in diet laco mako parts of tho mesh just as well as do tho most export laco makers of Europe. ONE OF NATURE'S WONDERS Heart Development In the Child Has Always Interested Students of Biology. What tho editor of the Medical Rec ord regards as one of tho wonders of biology Is tho manner of the develop ment of the heart of the child. He writes as follows regarding an Inves tigation by a continental physician: "Ono of the happiest adaptations of nature Is found In the functional pe culiarities of tho Infantile heart. From tho cmbryologlcal viewpoint alono, tho evolution of this organ, from a slmplo pulsating tube to n complicated four chambered pump, is one of tho won ders of biology. An Interesting phil osophical Inquiry Into the Hpecinl man ner in which tho heart of tho child Is adapted to the nocdB of the growing Come to Mlsst Hadley. organism Ib presented by Armbrustcr in tho Zentralblatt fur Klnderhell kundo, August 1, 1914. "He notes that tho increased rate of tho heart beat in early life dimin ishes tho burden of tho heart in the following manner: the amount of blood pumped at each Impulso is cor respondingly smaller, tho aspirating forco of tho right heart Is increased, nnd tho rapidly developing heart mus cle is moro effectively nourished. Tho author attributes tho rclntlvo immuni ty of very young children to Infectious diseases to tho rapidity with which tho blood flows through tho arteries, which rapidity makes It difficult for micro organisms to gain n foothold In tho blood stream." HOW TREES PROCURE FOOD Belief Is That Sustenance Is Digested In Advance of Its Con sumption. Every gardener knows thnt a tret can bo fed nnd mado to grow with In creased vigor. If proper nourishment In tho form of humus, nitrogen, phos phate, etc., bo placed nhout Its roots tho tree will absorb this food and grow rapidly and strongly. Ilut how tho trco feeds Is somowhnt moro difficult to explain. In nil prob ability tho trco digests Its food first and consumes It nfterwnrd. Certain It Ib that tho nverago treo has no means of consuming food as a whole, as membors of tho animal kingdom ab sorb It. It Is well known that th4 larvao of certain Insects digest their food first and consumo It ufterward. Observation would Indicate that this Is exactly what tho trco does. The tiny roollots act on tho substances In tho earth, dissolving nnd hrenklng them up so they can bo absorbed through tho root pores. In order so to bo taken up the chemicals must bo In liquid form nnd devoid of nil wnsto. Tho end of each root Is armed with n horny substanco with which it can burrow through tho hard soil in search of food. Wrong Location. St, Peter "You can't como in hero."

Tho death of Christ mado a pro found Impression, Luke 23:48, 40. Jo seph, who had been n secret dlsclplo, obtained the body nnd gnve It burial, Mark 1G: 42-47. In tho lesson selected for today wo havo, first, Mark's record of tho discovery of tho resurrection by the women, and, second, Matthew's record of how his enemies dealt with that fact. I. The Resurrection Morn, Mark 16:1-8. The Sabbath ended at sun down and tho shops wero then opened. Mary Mngdalcno then purchased spices that they might nnolnt tho dead body of Jesus. Thoy may havo paid the tomb a visit lato on Saturday, seo Matt. 28:1 R. V. Starting the noxt morn, "while it was yet durk," John 20:1, they camo to tho tomb to per form their last service of gratitude and lovo. He had no need of this serv ice. Matt. 16:21; 20:19; however, it wns acceptable and thoy were reward ed by receiving tho first glimpse ol the risen Lord. Women's Love Genuine. , Tho reason they did not expect to boo a risen Jesus was in their failure to listen to and to ponder on his words. Tho men also failed to com prehend tho note of his resurrection which ho so frequently sounded. In deed, tho report of these samo women Is by theso men considered "nB Idlo tales," Luko 24:11. Tho women ap pear in a better light than tho men In thlB story. Tho women, especially Mary Magdalene, loved much becauso ho had dono so much for them. Tho extent and tho genuineness of their affection Is found In thnt they went to tho tomb to servo Jesus whon appar ently hopo had fled and faith was blighted, I Cor. 13:8 R. V. Their visit was tho fulfillment of their ministry of love, yet it reveals the darkness of their minds. ThlB was common to all of his followers. Approaching tho tomb they aro con fronted by aj now difficulty "Who Bhall roll away the stone?" Tho words of verso four aro significant "Look ing up, they seo that tho stone Is rolled back," Am. R. V. This undoubtedly refers to tho situation of tho tomb and their approach thereto, yet the fact remains that "looking up" most of our difficulties aro removed. Lot us be constantly "looking unto him." It has boon suggested that God rolled away tho stone, not that Jesus might get out, but rather that tbo women might 'get In. Mary found two angels sitting, ono at tho head and ono at tho foot, where the body had lain, John 20:11, 12, and tho two disciples to whom sho reported found tho linen cloth and tho napkin and "believed," John 20:2-0. I Tho womon were overwhelmed with perplexity and, llko Peter and John, "knew not tho Scrlpturo that bo must rlBo again from the dead." Tho an gelic message, "He Is risen; he is not here," was tho sounding forth of a message as great and as glorious aa that sounded by the angels on tho night of his birth. Such experience and such knowledgo . entails a. doflnlto burden of responsl blllty, thoreforo tho logical messago and command of verso seven. This Is also In accord with tho Savior's last I earthly message Mark 10:15; Matt. z&:i8-;su. u is natural ior us to lin ger In silent meditation at tho placo of our greatest revelation or of our deepest soul experiences, but thoso women aro urgod to "go quickly." Tho message of salvation is too Im portant to brook any delay. Spread False Tale. II. The Watch at the Sepulcher, Vtatt. 27:62-66 and 28:11-15. Evident ly tho manner of hln death and his re ported prophecies as to tho rcsurroc tlon mado an impression upon tho one mica of Jesus. This gunrd is an ex prcsston of tho ultlmnto antagonism of tho priests and rulers. As this, tho morn of tho first day of tho week, ap proachod tho guard saw the vision of tho angel and In its presence becamo as dead men. When later they had re covered thoy hastened Into tho city and reported to tho priests tho fact of tho coming of tho angel and that tho stono, upon which the seal rested, had been removed, Bribed, they spread abroad tho tnlo that tho disciples had stolen his body. Tho falseness of such a talo Ib evldonced by tho fact that tho rankest Infidel has not tho temerity to mako such a claim today. Tho resurrection, as Paul affirms, Is tho declaration thnt Jesus Is tho Son of God. It is a vindication of hla supremacy and of tha supremacy of the spiritual over tho natural. Wo do well to omphuslzo his birth, and to dwell much upon his death, yet both of theso havo no essential vnluo apart from tho resurrection. Apart, from this and tho cross Is no moro than tho tragic and awo-lnsplrlng end of a ltfo that failed. Connecting tho cross with this demands that every thought ful man should study It carefully.. The resurrection demonstrates that ha InisheiJ tho work of redomDtlon. BRIGHTEST OF INDIA'S GEMS Beauty Spots That Are to Be Found In the Valleys and Uplands of Kashmir.

Toronto MIGHT BE CALLED EVIDENCE At Least Participant in Fight Reason to Believe He Was Telling the Truth. Had Two colored soldiers at a frontier post had a fight, during which ono of the combatants lost an ear, and tho other was accused of having bitten it off. The case was tried by a general court-martlul, and the counsel for tho defense, in cross-examination of tho one-eared man, the principal witness for the prosecution, asked: "Whero did this fight tako placo?" "In Mlsta Nelson's co'n field, Jos' outside do reser vation," answered tho witness. "What was tho condition of tho ground?" "Hit wuz covered wld stubble co'n had all been cut." "Now," said tho counsel, glaring at tho witness, "you aro on oath, and will get Into serious troublo if you tell nnythlug but tho truth. Could not your ear have boon tarn on by tho sharp stubble?" "Yans, sail." said tho witness, "hit mought." "Then what do you mean by stating undor oath that tho accused bit it off?" '"Cause," said the witness, "I dono seen him spit it out." They Won't Burn.
