whose offense is plain to be seen

Matters, in short have about

worse than any other of its size

Sweeping Out The Rascals.

Democrats everywhere are ap-
parently profting by the result Of
the recent elections in New York,
where hoodlum and ring politics
attempted to force corrupt and OBJ
jectionable men into official place,
and were overwhelmingly beaten
at the game by the best people Of
all parties, who rose up to dsfe at
tho rascsls.
The Baltimore Sun, one of the
most conservative Democratic pa
pers in the country, commenting
on the result of the New York
elections, says: "The disgrsoeful
condition of municipal govern.
ment and administration in Brook.
lyn, and the crowning insult and
outrage of the nomination of
Judge Maynard for tho Court Of
Appeals, have borne their legiti-
mate fruit. Good men of ell par
ties Joined in demanding Q change

tics, protested against Msynard's
elevation to the bench, and de-
nounced his nomination by the
Democratic State convention at
Saratoga. The rest of the Demo-
cratic State ticket was admitted to
be exceptionally good. Yet it
was not strong enough to carry
such a load as Maynard. It went
down under the burden imposed
in defiance of public opinion by
political bosses and leaders who
thought they were strong enough
to defy anything and to overcome
everything"
The result shows that political
managers, while they can some
times take advantage of the spa-
thy of the people to impose ring
men and ring methods upon city
government, fall into the belief
that they can defy and bully the
people at pleasure. Then they
wake up to the reality that they
are. only pitiful creatures, who
have been merely endured, but
have no power to control. When
the people are aroused to q pro-
per sense of the outrsges that
such self-seeking damsgogues are
putting upon them, they rise upl

close to the hinge side, a clean semi circle
was cut out, its straight edge toward the
hinges. To fill these half circles, pale
green and gray figured silk was gathered
lnto the fans, the outer edge tackled to the
wood under a very light, inconspicuous
gimp, and the center drawn to a fine,
small knot. These half-rounds came to-
gether and made sort of great silken
moon when the screen was outspread.
Such a screen should be set so that light
falls through it, emphasizing the charm
OF the color and the grace of the design.
This idea can be carried out still more
inexpensively. A common screen frame
can be easily constructed by anyone who
can handle tools. Into this fit lattice

homemade. Leave in the centre of each

it in a few spots with gold powder. Ii

stunning affair. If you put two pictures
together, back to back, your screen will
be beautiful on both sides-a decided adj
vantage in moving it about from place to
place and setting it here and there as you
need it, which is the true mission OF a
screen. j. B

Cushions for Bows Rooms.

Within the past few years cushions
have become an institution of comfort in
our homes, and no room-not even
harum- scarum boy's-is now considered
furnished without luxurious heap of
them somewhere. In the city and coun-
try alike they have become necessity.
In summer time they are piled in the cor
ners of piazzas. tucked into hammocks
and heaped into bright confusion on the
seats of gay yachts. in winter sofas and
chairs and corners are full of them. But
no one seems to have too many. Though
the shops keep them the greater number
are made at home. Rare is the woman who
has not sofa pillow of some sort under
way. She knows for one thing that they
are exceedingly ornamental as well as
useful, and that thrown about a room
they add much to its attractiveness.
New designs for corners are being
brought out continually by ingenious
women, and all sorts of means and ma
/ terials are turned to account in the man
ufacture of the pretty things.
| Some of the most unique and artistic
! affairs that have come within my notice
of late have been made for the boys o.
the house, either for their rooms at home
I or to take away to school.
| They range from q fetching creation
made of narrow ribbons to a dainty silker
affair that in its soft beauty is its own ex.
cuse for being.

Mother of many children, Comtesse de
Paris, has yet maintained an astonishing
youthfulness and vigor. She can drive a

exceedingly adept in all field sports, es-
peeially in deer stalking or shooting.
With all French woman's ready wit

initiative, and she also aided and abetted
her eldest son when he engaged himself
as a soldier in the French army, beng

be said on both sides OF this SuDlecG.
The woman who makes her own gown
knows that upon their due and orderly
arrangements, more particularly upon
''the match' OF them, very often depend
the fit and set of the garment.
This accuracy should be made certain
before single stitch OF sewing on goes
in. Several easy devices will insure it,.
With two straight edges such as the
fronts of bodice, lay both fat together,
haste in place, then lay measuring tape
along, and with crayon mark inch
spaces on both edges, with the same
below the waist line, the spaces are better
shortened to three-quarters of an inch.
Another way is, after the parts are laid
together, to go back and forth through
both, at inch, and quarter inch in
tervals, with a needle and very long,
coarse thread. Leave the stitches loose
enough to let the two sides be pulled at
least an inch apart.
Clip the threads between and sew on
hook or eye where each loose end comes
| through.
| For the troublesome under-arm and
shoulder fastening now so much in use,
this method is especially to be commend
| ed. First fit the garment accurately
marking with chalk where the tapping
edge must come. AS soon as 1t is off,
haste a line along your chalk mark tC
make sure it will not be lost, then mark
spaces for the fastenings with needle ano
thread.
1t is better in these side and shoulder
| fastenlngs to put loops in place of eyes
or else very small rings, thickiy overcas
with twist the color of the gown.
| If YOU would have your gown set snug
and Frenchy, put hooks and eyes alter.
nately on each side.
When they are sewed fast, cut a biai
facing two inches wide, fold down quar-
ter inch at each edge, and press it fat
If the gown-stuff is thick or heavy, like
velvet, cloth or corduroy, use silk of The
