TRIMMINGS.
Sewing on RuHIes.- Braid and Making
Stocks and Bells.

In trimming skirts with gathered
rufiles, it is essential that the fulness
be evenly distributed. To effect this,
the skirt is marked off into four equal
divisions and the strip to be ruffled is
similarly pinned together at the four
points of division. The ruff1ing is then
gathered to fit each corresponding sec
ton of the skirt. One and half times
the width of the skirt is allowed for
gathered ruff1ing; knife-plaitings re-
quire more.
In applying jet trimmings, the
stitches should be taken between the
Jet facets or beads. Most of these trim
mings can be sewed ON so that the
stitches are imperceptible.
The braiding designs that are SO or
namental and popular for decorating
cloth costumes or jackets are easily ex-
ecuted, the braid being first tackled on
and then carefully machines stitched
through the center. When put on in
lines, 1t is similarly stitched, but Her
cules braid, both wide and narrow, is
sewed only at the upper edge.
new use for soutache braid is COM
mended by utility as well as appear
ance, the braid being used in place of
eyesf for a hook-and- EYE closing on cloth
basques or jackets. This method of
closing will be found particularly con-
Venient when the garment closes under
Inc arm. A row of the braid is sewed
on the edge opposite the hooks, being
left free wherever a hook occurs and
sewed strongly between. The braid is
entirely concealed When the hooks are
caught s

While companies must make returns

Turkish Military Command
er Ordered to Assume
the Offensive.

Constantinople, April l7-The
council of ministers after session at
the palace to day declared that war
had broken out on the frontier owing
to the incursion By the Greeks on
Turkish territory, and Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish military commander. was
ordered to assume the offensive. This
announcement of the actual existence

The council of ministers had declared

It was also reported that the coun
Gil of ministers had decided to recall
Assim Bey, the Turkish minister at
Athens and give passports to Prince
Maurocordate, the Greek minister at
Constantinople. These reports of the
severance of all diplomatic relations
between Turkey and Greece have
been denied.
The situation is summed up IN a
detailed circular sent this evening to
the Turkish representatives abroad
This circular recalls the weeks in
vasion of Turkish territory, and
states that the newest incursion was
participated in by Greek troops,
thereby establishing war. The cir
cu!ar expresses the hope that the
powers in a spirit of justice will
agree that the entire responsibility
for the war fall On Greece. Turkey
has no idea of conquest, the circular
adds, and as fresh proof of pacific
sentiments the sublime porte offers 10
