Get a square of ecru twill-linen of the

so that neither can shift out of place. Then
very lightly trace a conventional design
upon the red batiste. Over this tracing
work a loose chain-stitch in coarse ecru
linen floss. These markings, of course, dis
appear under the embroidery when their
purposes have been fulfilled They serve as
a reliable guide to the worker, and slightly
raise the decorative work, meantime keep
ing in the proper position, without any
pickering, the two materials differing both
in color and texture. Cover this floss chain
stitching with red silk COUGHING twist, using
the buttonhole stitch, allowing the ecru floss
to show slightly. between the silk stitches.
Stems should be buttonholed in the same
way. If large leaves are included in the
ecru floss.
Add a narrow applique border done in
the same way as the center square. When

with ribbon or fringe The cover on show is

Masculine Opinion worthless.

A somewhat didactic and, it goes without
saying, masculine critic in recent leader

woman's attire premises his words rather
fatuously by saying, LAS women are sup

why?" ETC., going on to state his opinions.
The fact of the matter is that women
dress almost altogether for each other, and
not for the men at all; at least, the opin-
ions of men count for little in comparison
with those of their own sex, despite the fond
belief that it is for the lords of creation

robustness with which men advise and crit

opinions would have the least weight in eff

Which of them, by taking thought, could
add-or take away--a cubit in the height OF
a theater hat or by their animadversiOns

pretty in the eyes of man, and she will
undoubtedly choose her colors and perhaps
study the general effect Of a gown, with a
view of obtaining his admiration and APP

THE NOBLE ART OF SLUGGING.
Notable Accession to the Ranks of tn
defenders of Pugilism.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
The recent exhibition of athletes at Tom
linson Hall has caused a good deal of COM
ment. / have noticed that those who know
least about it, and saw none of it, are the
most severe in their denunciations. 1t is the
first show of the sort 1 ever attended, if
may except single bout in which Mr.. Nc
Auliffe took the conceit out Of one of our
local boxers in about three seconds. The
French, as everybody knows, are averse to
manly exercises-boxing, cricket, baseball,
bowling, and even such mild sports as golf
and tennis are not in favor with the mer-
curial youth of gay Paris. The French are
averse to marriage, and look upon mater
nifty as something to be left to the Flower
orders;" and pretending to be a great mill
tary power. France is confronted with the
fact that the annual birth rate is less than
the death rate. 1t is easy to see that ma
ton of bachelor roues and barren women
viii be no match for nations who consider
children a blessing and who look upon mar
riage and the family as useful things. The
sign of decadence is manifest in the Latin
races-the Spanish. the Italian and the
French There seems to be a vice in their
blood which is poisoning their society and
enervating their men. The German, English
and Americans are of different stuff. They
come OF good stock, and they are improving
it every generation. A great antidote for
pessimism is the mingling with the boys and
girls-the young men and young women of
our schools and colleges. They are stronger
and more alert in body and mind than their
fathers and mothers were, and much of this
is owing to the fact that scientific athletics
is in the regular course of training at most
of our schools. Rowing, running. leaping,
wrestling, baseball, football, tennis and
cycling are among these athletic exer-
cises. j am pleased to know that Mr.. Muir
barger who acted as referee at Tomlinson
Hall is now instructing a class of twenty
young men at the Y NJ. c. A. building in
the art of wrestling. All of these sports de-
velop and encourage the great virtues of
courage fortitude, Self-contrOl and Self-re-
spect-it being assumed always that con-
tests in the athletic field must be subject to
well-established rules and under the super
vision of competent, fair and courageous
judges or referees. I have seen what is
called dirty balp' on The diamond and grid
