Home Making.
Exchange

Considerable thought is being brought to
bear on this the most important feature in
the life of two persons who take upon them
selves the undertaking of homemaking, as
man and wife. Do we notsee wrecks, daily
of fruitless attempts? Surely it is an op-
portane moment to devote some careful
thought to this subject. Good Housekeep-
ing says:
To the true man or woman there can be
nothing more agreeable on earth than the
business of home-making Whoever makes
a home In the best sense of the word, is
real henefactor to the race; for every true
home is the abode of joy, peace, happiness
and security to those that share in it, and
exerts an influence that is incalculable

they expect their home-making to prove
satisfactory. Warm hearts make bright

times called. The materials required are
three yards of three-inch ribbon (satin rib
bon was used for the one in question but
cheaper ribbon may be used) ana Clark's
crochet cotton, shaded from the color of the
ribbon to white.
The cotton was crocheted in knot stitch,
making strips tree inches wide and thirty
two inches long. These strips are sewed
alternately with the ribon which had pre-.
viously been cut in three pieces and two
inch fringe raveled at each end. A fringe
of the cotton was tied into the ends of the
crochet strips. A ring two inches in diam
eter was covered with crochet stitches of
Victoria crochet silk matching the color of
the ribbon. A row of shells was crocheted
around the ring making it much prettier
than the plain crochet rings so long used:
The ring was slipped over one end of the
scarf to the middle where it held the full
ness in place.
Blue ribbon with blue and white crochet
cotton and blue crochet ring makes
pretty scarf, also orange and white or pink
and white.
Clark's shaded crochet cotton comes in
such variety of colors and combinations
that there is practically no end to the pretty
things that may be made with it. The
numbers are 80 and 50 and the cost is only
FIVE cents for ball of 200 yards.
If the pocketbook will allow a much
richer scarf may be made by using white
Victoria crochet silk for the crochet stripes.
The knot stitch is very pretty in silk and
holds its shape well. Combine with pea
green satin ribin fringed at the ends and
decorated with sprays of lily of the valley
near each end of the strips. Embroider the
sprays with Asiatic flo. Make the crochet
ring with pea green Victoria silk.
Other combinatiops with suitable designs
are equally pretty. r. E. MERRYMAN.

AHELPFUL CORNER.

IT is an easy matter to keep our surround

our command but in many cases we fail to
give the poorer classes of people any credit
whatever for their attempts toward cleanll-

and we can step to the corner of the porch
or to the sink in the kitchen and draw pail
after pail of water we take it as a thankless
offering and proceed with our work Of scour-

The Convention AdjouPns to Allow Time
for the Committees to Report-Tho
Committee on Credentials Re-
ports In the Afternoon.

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-When the dele
gates to the republican national con-
Vention entered the hall to-day they
found many changes in the seats of
delegates, the officials having arranged
the seats in alphabetical order, accord
ing to states. At 1925 the band struck
up medley of patriotic airs which
was received with cheers and applaud.
ed by the galleries, while the belated
leaders moved down to their places.
Mr. Fairbanks was obliged to hammer
vigorously before he could bring or
der. Then, in a voice which hardly
projected itself to the center of the
pit of delegates, Mr.. Fairbanks said:
"The convention will be in order"
The convention was in comparative
orleC upon the introduction of DR..
WILDER G. Williams, pastor of the
Union Methodist Episcopal church of
st. Louis, who moved to the edge of
the platform with outstretched arms
and prayed, while the audience arose
in the galleries and on the floor.
1.-THE senator from Massachusetts"
announced the chairman, at the con-
clusion Of the prayer, whereupon there
was an outburst of applause as the
galleries and delegations saw the
slight form of United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge in the aisle before
the platform. He asked that the com
miItee on platform be granted the

ing, law abiding labor seeking. decent man;
the exclusion OF all whose birth, whose
blood, whose condition, whose teachings
whose practices would menace the permancncy
OF free institutions, endanger the safety OF
American society, or lessen the opportunities
OF American labor; the abolition OF sectional
ism, every star In the American flag shining
for the honor and welfare and happiness Of
every commonwealth and OF all the peOple o
deathless loyalty to all that is truly American
and a patriotism eternal as the stars.
No point of Senator Thurston's
speech was lost upon the assembly,
but that which provoked the most en-
thusiasm and uproar was the state
ment that he had presided over the
convention which nominated the last
republican president and was now adj
dressing that which was to name the
next. At this the delegates rose and
waved their hats, flags and handker-
chiefs with a prolonged cheer.
At the close, by direction OF Perma-
nent Chairman Thurston, letter was
read from ]. Henry Fort, chairman Of
the committee on credentials, an
nouncing that the committee would
be unable to report until afternoon.
Thereupon Gov Bushnell, of Ohio,
moved that the convention take a re-
cess until two o'clock. The motion
was carried with n roar and at l1:93
o'clock Chairman Thurston declared
the convention in recess.
1t was 2:4O when the chairmnn's (Mr.
Thurston's) hammer knocked for or
der and announced the afternoon ses-
sion would be opened by prayer by
Bishop Wiberforce. The bishop then
stepped forward and invoked blessings
on the convention.
AT three p. m. the report Of the COM
mittee on credentials was presented by
Hon. j. Franklin Fort, of New Jersey.

secretary recommended that the roll

territories as prepared by the nationals

ton be approved as the permanent
roll of this convention.
The minority report was signed by
10 members of the committee. In pre-
senting it Mr.. Hepburn asserted that
none of the contestants except those
from Delaware and Texas had had any
hearing before the committee on ere
dentials and In these two cases not one
word of testimony had been read and no
member of the convention knew what
the merits of the cases were. More than
100 Republicans claiming to be delegates
with their credentials, were now claim
ing to be heard in order that the
merits of their cases might be properly
ascertained. 1t was bad precedent,

Mr.. Fort, chairman of the commit

previous question on the report of the
committee down to the final vote, un.
der the rules of the house of repre-
sentatives. This motion was seconded
by Mr.. ]. Doyle, Of Georgia, and by a
delegate from Ohio.
Mr.. Mudd, of Maryland, asked for a
separate vote on the Delaware report,
and was seconded by the states of
Delaware and California.
The question being now on the Or
dering of the previous question, the
delegation from Maine, seconded by
Massachusetts, Maryland and Iowa de-
manded n roll call.
The roll call resulted as follows:
Yeas, 543I5; nays, $685., so the previous
question was ordered.

completed the platform and that it
was now being considered by the full
committee. He asked leave TO report
this afternoon. The permission was
granted.
The chairman's call for the report of
the committee on credentials met no
response and that committee was
passed.
Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, moved
that the report of the committee on
permanent organization be received.
This was received with cheers by the
galleries, who we're impatient to have
the convention proceed, but from the
floor came angry cries OF mo, no. |"
The motion was put and Chairman
Fairbanks declared it carried.
Senator Wellington Indignantly pro-
tested that the motion was out of or
der as the convention could not sus-
pend the rules and his point was warm
ly supported by Delegate Littleheld,
of Maine, but the chair ruled that both
gentlemen were out of order as the
convention had decided to receive the
report.

Senator Sewell, Of New Jersey, and
Congressman Serene Payne, of New

They marched down the main aisle
