DID, DAINTY CHIFFON POSIES FOR GOWNS d*p

and slowly roll up the length with
the thumb and first finger of the right
hand until the heart is formed. Do
this rather tightly at first, then more
and more loosely near the finish, TAX
ing care to keep the folds even at the
top. Now bring the folds of chiffon
together at the bottom, and, taking
the rose in the left hand, twist a piece
of mounting wire over the chiffon, just
above the line of stitches, and very
tightly draw it down to the last tiny
raw edge of chiffon. Crook a piece of
mounting wire, or the wire with
piece of tubing, if you have it; secure
the base of the rose on top of the
crook firmly, and slip over the stem
a green calyx Now take a iece of
green chiffon about half an inch wide.
place one end close TO the calyx and
wind the stem evenly and secure with
a thread and needle to prevent un-
raveling. You will then have the fin
ished rose.
Sweet peas are easily made, as only
two petals are required, one like the
geranium petal and square puff in
front of it. The variegated effect of
these pretty flowers can be obtained
over the other, as, for instance, the
wing could be made of pink over
white, the lobe, or lower one. of white
over pink, and so on. In punches
these chiffon sweet peas are very love-
ly and pay for the time and trouble
expended in making them.
In fuchsias the petals forming the
cup are made on the same lines as
those of the geranium, except that it
is necessary they should overlap each
other. Be sure to get the long, mar
row effect peculiar to those blossoms.
Sometimes this difficulty is met by
making petals of velvet. The green
part that comes next before the green
calyx may also be of velvet. The
petals are gummed on between outer
rows of petals and calyx. Threads of
colored silk with knots at the end
should be put through the center to
finish the flower. They should be left
at unequal lengths.
Dahlias forget-me-nots, violets and
other flowers having small petals are
easily made if one only follows the
lines laid down in the making of pa
per flowers, there being only one gold
en- rule to observe-get as near to the
real form and coloring as possible.

HOW SHE KEEPS YOUNG

Old Mother Woe, the old
est member of the Winnebago tribe. is
living with her people on a reservation
in Nebraska. She is 107 years old and
is the only living Indian so far as
known who was with the original Six
Nations in New York State. The Win
nebagos had their origin in the famous
old Iroquois, and in their unhappy
peregrinations, ending at the Nebraska
reservation, Mother Smiles-at-Woe has
remained with them. She has Stunned
the vices which the younger people
have acquired, and to this fact is
ascribed her longevity.

RESSMAkERS as well as mil
liners are finding that the posi-
bilities of chiffon are almost in
exhaustible and the newest and
perhaps most novel use of this
lovely and perishable material is
in the making Of chiffon flowers.
There is an airiness and delicacy about
these chiffon roses and other flowers
that quite surpass any other artificial
flowers and makes them exceedingly
attractive for trimming hats and ball
gowns. At present they are being used
wherever possible on womens gowns,
and their popularity is proven by the
fact that many wedding gowns turned
out by noted costumers are decorated
in some way with these dainty hand
made posies.
Almost any of the fowers-roses, dah-
las, snowdrops, fuchsias, sweet peas or
geraniums-mav be made of chiffon,
and good results may be achieved by
the ordinary girl who is possessed of
patience, clever fingers and deftness
with the needle. In making these flow
ers there is not only the delight of be-
ing able to fashion dainty things, but
a real saving in personal expenditure.
Roses are perhaps the most popular
and about the easiest to make. For
these, parts of old w@rs, stems, leaves
and calyXes may be used, but If not at
hand all that is needed is a spool Of
green mounting wire and some Of the
green calyxes that can be purchased
for a few cents in the shops. To make
a bunch of four roses will require
quarters Of yard of chiffon of
any preferred color, white, pink, red or
yellow. In beginning the rose fold the
chiffon width so that it is three-quar-
ters long by four inches wide. Measure
along the selvedges five inches and cut
straight through the width; repeat this
three times. Take one of the five-inch
pieces, fold, cut edge to edge, and run
a thread through both OF them to hold
them together. Be sure and let the
material be slightly eased on the thread
before manipulating it into form.
Now take one end at the cut edges

The manufacture of immortelle
wreaths in Paris occupies at least
1900 persons. The immortelles are
gathered about the beginning of Octo-
ber and come chiefly from the arid hills
in the middle and south of France.
They are brought to the markets in
their natural condition, and the yellow
blossoms are dyed green, red and
white and woven into wreaths by spe-
cial Workmen in readiness for All
Saints and All Souls days, when all
good Parisians visit their relatives
graves. On these "fetes des morts'
the gates of the cemeteries are beset
with crowds of dealers in immortelle
wreaths, wire crosses and bead
crowns. At Pere la Chaise alone more
than 100000 persons are calculated to
visit the cemetery, and the sale of i'm
mortelle wroaths varies from 10000 to
5000 Golden Penny.

4 LOCAL BACKING
While the State Republican
Leaders Are In Conster-
nation Over Fagan's
Letter He Is En-
dorsed Here.

The attack made by Mayor Pagan on
the Republican legislature in a letter to
Governor Murphy yesterday bitterly
charging that the Legislature is entirely
subservient to the influence created as
much of a sensation in this city as it did
in Trenton. Many Republicans of the
ranks concede that the mayor has done
his party no good by such a scathing de-
nunciation of the Legislature. which is
Overwhelmingly Republican.
The local Republican politicians how
ever appear to back up the Mayors act.
Corporation Attorney Robert Carey
said: ''The Fagan administration is back
of the Mayor in this matter
City Collector Fry, chairman of the
Republican County Committee said:
1T was the courageous act Of a eour-
ageous man.
Mr.. Fry said the party was already
on record so far as the equal taxation
measure is concerned. The treatment of
this measure by the Legislature was one
of the principal causes that led Mayor
Fagan to write his denunciatory letter.
Mr. Fry produced the following pre-
ambles and resolutions adopted by the
Republican County Committee at its last
meetings
Whereas. an agitation has been COM
menced having for its object the enact
ment of laws which will compel the rail-
road corporations of this State to pay
a larger share of the burdens of taxation
and this agitation is being actively sup
ported by the boards of trade and the
mayors, public officials and influential
citizens of many of the cities and towns
Of this State; and
Whereas, this movement, although
non-partisan and non-political, is in the
interest of just government and if sue
cessful win tighten the burden of the
average taxpaying citizen;
Resolved, that this committee hereby
endorses the principle of equal taxation
as embodied nj the bills presented at
Trenton by Assemblymen Filder and
Hamill: and further
Resolved, that this committee hereby
pledges every assistance in its power to
maintain this agitation among the peo-
pie until the Legislature shall be induced
to pass an act which will compel the
railroads ii pay taxes upon their prop
erty upon the same basis of assessment
and at the same rate as every other
taxpaying citizen or corporation"
Democratic Leader Robert Davis re-
fused to discuss the Mayors letter. He
said he's not trying orun the affairs
of the Republican party.
