INEXPENSIVE COUCH.
Something Dainty and Useful to Hold
Ones Best Gowns.

Something Dainty and Useful to Hold
Ones Best Gowns.
A dainty woman who has q passion
for the elusive odor of heliotrope has
evolved for herself an idea whereby she
can impregnate her belongings at light
expense and very satisfactorily. From
two clean packing boxes she has made
two boxes of another shape.
One was six feet long by 10 inches
or so deep, and about SO inches wide
Another was made just as long and
just as wide, but not quite SO deep.
Both boxes were made quite strong,
and one, the deepest, had short, strong
legs finished with casters. This deep
est box was lined neatly with wrap
ping paper, and over this lining of
pale blue silesia was tackled. For the
bottom of this box three large sachets
were made which formed a soft bottom,
and this was thoroughly scented with
her favorite odor.
The second or shallow box had its
bottom also covered with a large sachet
or padded lining. and the top was up
holstered with springs and filling.
Then the two boxes were joined to-
gether, one above the other, by three
stout hinges. A piece of tapestry cloth
was plated around the edge of the
lower box, and tackled with gimps fall
ing in a rich valence to the floor.
The upper box was covered smoothly
over the upholstering, and the edge
that touched the lower one was also
finished with gimp. Several attractive
pillows completed the outside arrange
ment, and very artistic couch was
the result. y bunch of tassels at either
outside corner served to lift the up
holstered top, revealing receptacle
for gowns and wraps where they could
rest in scented seclusion with immunity
from creases or brushes, as the box
was fashioned with sufficient length
to admit of their being laid in without
a fold. Any carpenter could make the
boxes, and the upholstering will cost
but little, the tapestry being most ex-
pensive, but any other material pre-
ferred could be substituted, thus bring
ing the cost even lower.

lar ring at the moment is doubtless the
hoop with from three to seven stones.
The very latest thing in hoop rings that
are set with colored gems is the placing
of tiny diamonds in the small interven-
ing spaces between the large stones.
Cross over rings are also favorites, and
the novelty in this line shows shanks
covered with small stones that lead up
to the large single gems in the end.
There is fad now for rings composed
of tiny hoops set with small gems The
fancy also continues for little finger
rings. Marquise and cluster rings are
counted with staple styles. A solitaire
diamond represents the conventional en-
gagement ring, and the plain gold hoop
the wedding one. Rings desired espe-
cialiy for full--dress occasions are very
elaborate and expensive trinkets. These
take on forms of scrolls, plumes and cor
onets wrought with diamonds, emer-
aids, rubies and pearls.
Finger rings for men are remarkable
this season for their fine hand carved
mountings made in Roman and antique
finished gold. Gem rings are worn, the
cabochon style of setting being fashion
able. A decidedly up to date ring is the
all gold seal ring. Massive gold rings
with deliberately carved shanks are set
with sard, bloodstone and other seals.
a highly coveted ring is one set with
genuine antique seal
The latest development in brooches is
in point of fact an old idea revived
namely, that of mounting large single
colored stone of round or oblong shape
in setting of brilliants, small pearls or
a framework of gold. Amethysts and
topazes are introduced with effective re-

Flower pins are in stock. and miniature
brooches continue to please. Diamond

as One Time the Monroe Doctrine Wns
Considered an Acceptable Policy.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-Public opinion
in Great Britain has changed in the most
wonderful manner since the Monroe doc
trine was first promulgated. An unex-
pected discovery in the old files of the
house of representatives., was given to
the state department, a valuable state
paper with which Lord Sails bury's claim
tina. the Monroe doctrine has never been
recognized by England will be COM
plately upset.
In going over the old records Walter
II. French, the file clerk of the house,
discovered collection of clippings from
English papers, all bearing on the mes
sage of President Monroe, in which he
gave to the world the famous doctrine
which bears his name. The message
was sent in on the opening of congress
the fret Monday in December, 1923
The English papers without exception
commented on the message in most fav-
orsble terms. France was then contem-
plating conquest in South America, and
Great Britain was prompt to seize on
President Monroe's message as notice to
the Continent nations that conquest in
America meant war with the United
States.
MIR. French's discovery has been cop
led and sent to Secretary OIney. Mem
GCAS "a VIC ASA oA0AAS say
Mr.. French's discovery is the most i'm
portant yet made in connection with the
Venezuelan matter as it presents con-
temporary evidence of the fact which
Great Britain has since forgotten that
at the time President Monroe's message
was delivered it was accepted and even
welcomed as sound doctrine by the peo-
pie of Great Britain. More than that
the newspapers then distinctly pledged
Great Britain to aid in the enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine

PERHAPS IT'S SCHLATTER.
Rev. DR.. Wharton Says Christ is Conn
ing in Person AGaIn.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 13.-The Rev. Dr. H.
NJ. Wharton, prominent as an evangelist,
thinks the millennium is close at hand.
In a sermon on "The War Clouds and
What they Mean," he said in part:
"Christ is coming again. 1t will be a
personal coming. He came first as
prophet and priest. He will come again
as King, at the resurrection. He will call
the righteous dead from their graves
and the righteous still alive will be called
together. l believe that the christian
men and women will disappear suddenly
from the streets and the world will know
nothing about it. Men will go on with
business as before.
81 cannot prophesy as to the time of
his coming but according to
my belief it looks as if this
is just about the time. Look
al the signs. The gospel has been
preached to all nations. There is a gem
eral falling away among Christians from
the faith: there is great suffering. mar
tyrdom such as the world never saw for
Christ's sake; great earthquakes and
war clouds and war talk more portentous
than ever before. These facts are signs
which portend the coming.
