The humble appearance of MT. Blaine's last resting place is not due to neglect, but in accordance with his ex- pressed wish. When his son, Walker Blaine, died, Mir. Blaine selected a lot in Oak Hill overlooking Rock creek. There Walker and Mrs. Coppinger were buried, and MT. Blaine expressed de- sire to be buried next his fayorite son at the foot of the old hickory tree. The tree was struck by lightning some years ago and died at the top, but it was trimmed and revived and now bids fair to reach a green old age.
 Everybody wants to see Blaine's grave" said J. T Motter, superintend- ent of the cemetery. "I point it out and tell them about it till get tired and worn out. It is more visited than any grave in the cemetery. I don't think the body will ever be moved. I am sure it was not his wish that it should, for when he selected that lot he pointed out the old tree and asked mo to see that it was never destroyed. as he wanted it for his only monument"
 Three other cabinet officers besides MT. Blaine were also buried at Oak Hill-namely, Edwin NJ. Stanton. the great war secretary: Secretary of War John H. Eaton and Secretary of the Ma. " ". H. Hunt. W. W. Curcoran, the founder of the cemetery, is also buried there, as are John Howard Payne, au- thor of Home. Sweet Home;" Lorenzo Dow, the eccentric evangelist. and many others famous in their day.

 While I am writing about the mak- ing of pretty things for Christmas pres ents, the chief value of which lies in the work put on the articles by loving hands, desire to say n word or two to some women readers, who, because they know that they have artistic tastes and perceptions, arc striving to paint pie lures and pottery and to do decnrative work generally with the brush for money, but are constantly discouraged by their lack of success, especially when they essay anything outside of copied work And this is what 1 would say: The art of the painter is long, and life is short. To but few comparatively is there given the genius necessary to win success in the painters field. but hun dreds, maybe thousands, who can but fail in that, may succeed in embroidery, a most delightful and remunerative art, notwithstanding the fact that it is not regarded with favor by "the fin de siecle womam" I cannot embroider beautifully myself, but I have friend who tried ill vain to make her way with the brush who had no difficulty in learning how to cmbroider so well that under her magic fingers little bits of material that can be bought for few cents are transformed into pieces of em- broidery that sell readily and at such good prices that she is able to earn for herself q very comfortable living. And what she has donc may be done by many others like her. ELoISE SPANGHEL

translated into French. In this manner Mrs. Potter Palmer heard of the young Syrian author and invited her to repre- sent Syrian women at the Worlds fair. She did so and at the same time brought to America an elaborate display of Syri- an embroideries that attracted much at- tention at the fair.
 At present the women of Syria have no clubs, no organizations and no occu- pations except the domestic duties of the home. With this fact Mime. Korany has no quarrel, but she thinks they would be better off if they were not so we'll satisfied with their lot The great need of Syria is nonsectarian schools, where the children of various creeds may be brought together on equal lief of others. We are far behind the American womeni or, as might say, the rulers of this country" she says. "I told the ladies in Washington thought they voted already, for they have such great influence with the men. We have several good schools in my country. but they do not teach women to be lawyers or doctors. They teach women to inn prove the home. I do not think it is right for the women of Syria to go into business among men. The country is not ready for such a move yet
 In Syria she would not think of cross- ing the street unattended, and she thinks America is n very paradise of freedom. goodness, benevolence. happi- tess and comfort.

tailed directions. First cover each ring with silk, using single crochet stitch. Then fasten one of the rings to one end of the ribbon. Carry the ribbon through one side of the scissors, then back through the ring and down through the other side of the scissors. Then pass the ribbon through the same ring again, so that there Is about 3 |. inches of ribbon loop between the scissors and the ring. Then take another ring, carry the rib bon up through it from the under side, then back through the under side of the first ring and through the second from its upper side. Take the hind ring, hold it a little back of the second and bring the ribbon up through the space be- tween the second and third rings from the other side. Repeat the operation till all the rings have been used, when a few inches of ribbon will be left, and from this make bow at the end. This bow will hide the safety pin which fastens the chatelaine to the wearer' $ waist.

 Many visitors every day pay pilgrim age to q blasted hickory tree that stands on a retired slope in Oak Hill cemetery, Washington. They may well regard with mournful interest the bit of ground beneath it, for there repose the mortal remains of James G. Blaine. The blasted hickory is his only monument. A scarce ly perceptible mound marks the grave, and at its foot stands a small stone, with the initials ''J. c. B. Adjoining are the graves of Walker Blaine and of MT. Blaine's daughter.
