USES FOR SEWING MACHINES

Curious Purposes to Which They Are Put
Nowadays
The buttonhOle seWing-mach1ne IS
familiar, but it is probable that the
button-seWing machine is less so. Sucb
machines, however, have been used for
years. The same button-seWing ma
chine might serve to sew on buttons
of dozen styles and sizes, but they
would all be buttons with the eyes at the
same distance apart. There are many
buttons of various sizes as TO diameter
whose eyes are punched alike. Button
sewing machines are most commonly
used to sew on buttons that are placed
close down to the fabric as on UNDER
wear, and many other things They
are not used to sew on buttons as they
are often sewed On clothing, where, af-
ter sewing on the button, the thread IS
drawn with a few tight turns around
between the button and the cloth, thus
raising the button upon little col
umn.
Ordinarily in the use Of sewing ma
chimes the material is fed to the ma
chine. In sewing carpets the machine
travels along the carpet. The carpet
with the edges to be sewed together
is stretched and held between the sup
ports of a frame. The carpet-seWing
machine is placed on the double edge
of the carpet, along which it travels
as it is operated, sewing as it goes.
There are carpet-sewing machines that
are operated by hand, and also ma
chimes that are operated by power.
Sewing machines have long been
used for great variety OF leather
work. Some of the machines used for
such purposes, as. for example, sew
ing machines used for stitching leather
or rubber betting, are powerful ma
chimes that stitch through such ma
terials half or quarters of an
inch or more in thickness Besides
machines used for stitching leather
there are also made sewing machines
CARELESS of mirrors and that women
that are used for stitching paper in
blank books and others.

And He Cot 1t.

General Wauchope had been wound
ed four times thrice severely, before
going to south Africa. Shortly before
he started for the Soudan last year he
met on country road an old tinker,
a character in his way, whom he had
known nearly all his life. Said the
itinerant: "Eh Laird, hear ye're gaun
aff tae the wars ane mair. Whan wull
We e'er get yer fill O. fechtin'" The
officer smiled, bat made no reply. The
tinker went on: I'm thinkin thatll
be never, laird! Pm jist the same my
seq, sir; can ne'er get ma till-but
it's no fechtin';; it's whusky." The
laird took the hint.-Argonaut.

SHOE BUCKLES.
They Were Once Worth Much More
Than the Shoes.

Once on a time your shoe was moth
Ing without the buckle. Indeed, it was
a case of the tail wagging the dog,
for the buckle was the main thing
and the shoe only to carry it. 1t was
not the SIZE but the costliness OF the
buckle which counted among royalties
and people Of high rank at court wore
diamonds, while even in those days
some wore paste limitations in vain
effort to seem rich.
In 1920 a leader of fashion would
wear full flowing curled wig reach
Ing in ringlets half way down back
and arms, a laced coat cut straight,
with buttons put on in every possible
place, and square-toed, black shoes

high heels, and on the flat small
but brilliant buckle. Next tothe buckle

but still small in proportion to the
shoe flaps.
Your thriving shoekeeper wore buc-
HES of silver, and your opulent farm
or those Of shining steel, and the poor

but of some material every one wore
buckles on the shoes.

SNNlIER HATS ON VIEW

Offending Dame Fashion
Some Oddities.

It's to be season of black and white,
that is, so far as the millinery part of the
season is concerned. Those who attended
the opening of Manufacturers millinery
parlcrS yesterday were convinced of this
Also were they convinced of the fact that
hats this year follow no hard and fast
rule which, in times past, it has been the
pleasure of Dame Fashion to lay down
for the guidance of her followers. IL
one is very tall, one may wear a fiat
hat of tucked black chiffon with a bunch
of faded-or what look like faded-roSes
tucked under its raised brim. If one is
brief III stature there are chic high
crowned creations which, with the aid
of high heeled boots, will give the minia-
ture woman an appearance of fashion
able height. The black and white hats
are made of tucked or corded taffetas
and chiffon the whole being often COW
cred entirely with some gauzy fabric like
mouline, the severe effect relieved by a
touch of delicate pink or turquoise blue.
One Of the oddities of the season are the
faded roses A couple of these, resemb-
ling closely the natural flowers when they
have been kept three days, are tucked in
the brim of the most sWagger chapeaux
and the effect is decidedly pretty.
Ribbon is very much in evidence this
year on hats. The ribbon bows are made

the license fee demanded the law is

that each broker described i'll the act

and the brim is faced sOlidly with forget

loose effect in the brim is obtained by
adding over the foundation an extra and

double brimS are not found in misses
hats alone. Many of the swagger hats
for older women have two. three and
sometimes four brims, one resting light

The regular bi-monthly meeting Of the
WOmans Civic league, held yesterday
afternoon at the Commercial club, was
devoted to the consideration of the com
ms Arts and Crafts exhibit to be held
in the Ryan annex the last week in
April. Prof. E. Comins of the St. Paul
School of Fine Arts, gave brief his
tory Of the Arts and Crafts movement
and stated it's purpose. To educate the
people 10 an appreciation of the aeSthet-
ic was, Mr. Comins considered, the chief
aim of an Arts and Crafts exhibit.
Miss Olive Long read a paper on
'Beautifying the School Room" TIE
paper contrasted the ugly interior of the
little country school house of past years
with the present modern school with it's
evidence of sincere effort at decoration.
Thatthis effort was not always success
fully artistic was not, Miss Long thought,
entirely the fault of the decorator. EX-
penSe had to be considered both in the
construction of the building and in the
interior decoration. The best was al
ways the most expensive. Decorators
were hampered, also, by a difference of
standards. Often art had to be sacri-
feed to religious and ethical scrupies
For instance, a New York committee on
art in school rooms had pronounced
against the Sistine Madonna, because
Hebrews as well as Christians attended
the public schools. a cast of the Venus
de Milo was diSapproved on ethical
grounds. Pictures of battles were not
to be tolerated because of the danger of
exciting sanguinary emotions in the
breasts of the youngsters. Yet there
were some things left and always a fine
simplicity could be maintained

One Of the attractive buildings on the
exposition grounds at Buffalo is the
taetsful, artistic structure to be -occu-
pied by the board of women managers,
The house was formerly the nome of the
Country club, and, as the clubs property
was in the most desirable part of the site
selected for the exposition, house and
grounds were taken by the exposition
company, and it was decided that the
club house would be we'll adapted for
woman's headquarters during the Pan
American exposition.
When the exposition architects looked
over the house with a view to charging
and remodeling it, they were surprised
at the possibilities of the pretty little
building. Plans were drawn. Partitions
Nere knocked out. New rooms were
ADDED, and when the club house was
completed it was an artistic triumph.
The situation on the grounds is ideal
The house faces the Elmwood Gate, one
of the main entrances to the grounds. It
is directly opposite the New York State
building, which occupies a commanding
position in the broad, beautiful park
lands, ard is a permanent structure of
white marble. To the south the woman's
