what the National Committee want. !

RIBBON FLOWERS.
Pretty Fancy Of the Time when
Lends Life and Color to
Costume.

Satin and Louisine ribbon sets, which
we're fashionable during the summer,
have lost none of their popularity.
When dressy results are desired moth
ing is more effective with delicate even
ing frocks than touches of ribbon that
harmonic in coloring. The fancy for
dangling decorations in knotted rib
bons, sash ends and breast knots has
been very marked. This same idea
may be carried out in sprays
of ribbon flowers for dress
and hair ornament. All sorts
Of flowers are being made Of ribbon
to be worn in this way. and there are
wonderful possibilities for deft fingers
in fashioning these dainty things, says
the New York Herald.
Clusters Of tiny pink and red rose
buds arc made Of folded satin ribbon.
The green calix and stem Of the arti-
fetal flower and the sheen Of the satin
ell lending themselves to an excellent
imitation Of the natural flower. These
sprays Of tiny flowers are charming
for the hair, especially the wreath and
tiara effects in rosebuds and forget
me-nOts.
Larger roses and buds with long
green stems hang from cluster or rib
bon knot at the breast. Draped over
the dress skirt these clusters give o
graceful touch to an entire costume.
Violets are made Of narrow ribbon
gathered into knots and'made of single
violets. Chrysanthemums are strik-
ingly natural, made of tiny fiuted
baby ribbon. Sprays of fish geran-
iums are in vivid reds, with their own
foliage.
To make rose take green wrapped
wire seven or eight inches long. The
wire must be thin. and can be I'M
wrapped if desired. Cut piece of satin
for a half-open rose, about the size
Of the palm of your hand. 1t does not
matter whether you cut the end of the
ribbon of square, round or ragged.
Wrap this, after folding it on the bias,
so that the center forms point, with
the folds of satin about it. Hold the
rough ends around the doubled up
wire, the doubled end of which comes
mp into the point, and wrap thin piece
OF plain wire tightly around it.
The bud is thus formed and ready
for its little green cup. Clip off most
OF the rough ends of the satin and
shove the cup over the doubled wire.
making it fit over the little bunch of
tied ends. Between the bud and it's
cup is placed circle Of green cloth cut
In points, with hole in the middle.
The cup pushes this iutn alaoA arnnnd
~ seCEn quo ano Inc complete roe~.h,,A
as FORMED. The same rule applies to
the tiny buds, the only difference be-
ing the size of the bit of satin. Some
persons run hollow artificial stem
over the wire. One or two pieces Of
hollow stem are enough. This can be
bought in long pieces and cut up into
any desired lengths. A bow or omen
ro"e can hide the stems at the begin.

ming or the bunch. In making the full
blown roses a cluster of little yellow
tipped stamens are tied to the end of
the doubled wire before the pieces Of
satin are folded and tied in place.
Each bud, half blown and full blown
flower is made separately, and then the
maker can twist them together in anv
desired style.
The little green holders can be made
ut home, but the cups, which are Of
paper. are bought; so is the wire. One
woman suggested taking the little
cups of aeorns, piercing q hole in the
bottom and painting them green. II
is a novel idea and would serve the pur-
pose perfectly. Stamens and cups.
however, are exceedingly cheap, and
liberty satin can be bought for less
than dollar yard for the piece. and
a small portion Of yard would be
sufficient; or the ribbon, in different
widths, ranges from IS to 10 cents a
yard. Heavier satin costs little more

COMMISSIONER BOYD'S

Editor Evening Bulletin:-The Adj

as II did, should have thanked Mr..
Boyd, and given him the support OF all
the rightthinking people of the Terri

heart.
1t would be q most objectionable sin
to send out flattering statements to
the farmers on the Mainland. The
most they could bring with them
would be a few thousand dollars, And
after that is gone, as 1t surely will go,
who will supply to them the means to
return to their old homes? One surely
does not expect them to go to the plan
tations for employment, as Is the case
with our present homesteaders.
The present owners of homesteads
were most all from the plantations
When the lands were opened up they
thought they could have little home
and keep away from the grind and
steady hours that are required OF them
on the plantations. But II was not ia
be. Most all of them were compelled
to return.
