M,kino , pe,cefvI settlement.

The Scandinavians not only have
set the world good example In set
tling their differences peacefully, but
have given life to the general cause
OF arbitration. One article OF the
treaty for the separation OF Norway
and Sweden provides for the submis,
sion of future disputes to the Hague
court. There is the usual reservation
OF matters affecting the independ-
ence, integrity or vital interests OF
either" but another clause sets forth
that the question whether any contro.
versy does affect vital interests
shall itself be left to arbitration.
This is far-sighted and humane
plan of making international d0ad.

Velvet Chrysanthemums.

Select velvet ribbon, second size, in
the desired color, and IL possible with
different shadings of the color, to be
as natural as possible. Cut the ribbon
into five pieces two and half inches
long; fold each piece of ribbon in half
and gather the five pieces together,
fastening the Joined ends firmly by a
wire. The loose ends should be cut in
q point. Now cut ten pieces three
and half inches long. Fold as be-
fore and fasten them around the CEN
ter petals. Add as many more petals
as necessary, making each succeed
ing row a trife longer than the
last, until the flower Is large enough.
II the flower is to have the stiff ap-
pearance of the real chrysanthemum,
double pieces of velvet must be used
for each petal and a fine wire thrust
between the two ribbons. The satin
side of the petal is lightly covered
with photographers paste, wire laid
down the center, and the upper rib
bon firmly pressed on it, velvet side
up, of course. Before the paste has
quite dried, run the ribbon up on the
wire, thus getting that crinkly effect
OF the chrysanthemum. Only a few
OF the petals need to be treated in this
way to gain a stiff effect. Narrow

shades is Montreal Herald

white and trimmed usually with taft
feta of the same color as the gown.
The girdles are of the voile, tightly

MakIna velvet New.

Velvet cannot be sponged or pressed
or even dipped in gasoline, and unless
you thoroughly understand the proper
method of cleaning it you had better
not make the attempt, but send it to
some cleaner
There is one means by which it can
Se accomplished successfully at home.
Try water and spirits of ammonia in
equal quantities, and rub the velvet
with brush dipped in the liquid. In
doing this be~very particular that it
does not become soaked in any one
spot. When all stains have been re-
moved raise the pile of the velvet by
holding 1t over hot fiatiron on which
wet cloth has been folded.
Use brush very lightly for those
places that are too much fiattened for
the iron alone to renoyate them.
