BASE NEGLECT OF DUTY.
'ome of the Things That Are Eek
Dected OF Men Who Aspire to
Political Leadership.

To become political leader" and to re-
ain the post successfully, requires eternal
sigilanc One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the
.enement districts the leader becomes .
sort Of unofficial mayor, guardian and ia
Their of his people. He can never ignore a
request. To do so is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all mis-
telations.
One woman asked district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
Eent out of town for weeks visit. Again,
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn
ing by couple of men who had got into a
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal !;
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED; to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.
One family of voters renounced him perma-
nently because he did not call when seven
year-old Thomas broke leg.
But ! didn't know he had broken his
leg!" the leader demonstrated.
'Sure, and you should have known it"
"But I didn't even know you had son
named Thomas"
THAT settles it." and the father took
up his hat. Tim Sullivan would have
known it. Niyer meal have you ate in me
house"

FOR SUMMER AFTERNOONS.
Dainty Work with Which to Keep the
Fingers Busy at Odd
Intervals.

A new sofa pillow In ecru crash is un-
usually cool looking yet easy to do
says Good Housekeeping. This crash
is put on plain without ruffle or other
tufts and the upper surface is decorated
with round white cord about an eighth
of an inch thick, brought to assume the
required curves, and then sewed on
Another new pillow is covered with 9
new upholstering goods about the con.
sistency of very heavy madras, which
has a white background well covered
with a Dresden design of conventional
lied flowers. AS the colors in the pat
tern are particularly fresh and sum
merry, the cover is an ideal one for a hot
weather cushion. The material is used
plain, without so much as cord fo1
binding.
Again the passion for white which
prevails this year, at least, has extend
ed itself to the summer cushion. White
Swiss covered pillows, such as were
used a few years ago for baby exclu-
sively, are now being made = larger
size, of course-for the whole house
The covers are made to be frequently re-
moved. Some of these are embroidered
in white cotton, other in white floss. A
number, too, have applications of lace,
or the lace is inlet or inserted. These
covers of thin materials usually require
a ruffie, which may, in it's turn, be en-
broidered.
The reign of embroidery which marks
this year has extended to practically ev-
erything that admits of the passage Of
needle and thread. The panels of sum-
mer parasols are frequently trimmed
in this way, linen ones being especially
charming. Summer glove backs also
come in for similar treatment. The av-
erage needleworker can make an ordi-
nary pair look very smart in an idle
morning
