NEW IDEAS IN EMBROIDERY.
Double Motive in Working Of oes onS
Upon Tafteta.

Women who like to embrolder can
get up some very pretty designs using
the new embroidered silks as patterns.
One woman made up very pretty
brown taifeta In a medium shade. aud
upon this she marked out little cir.
cles.' diamonds and arrow shaped silk
Of precisely the same shade as the
background II was great deal Of
work but the effect was indescribably
rich.
II has been discovered by some one
that the working Of designs upon tai.
feta not only improves the general ap.
pearance Of the silk. giving It very
expensive look. but It also makes tho
taiic,a wear better, which is much In
It's favor Tafeia that has been

| One thing is certain, and that is that
the next Parliament will witness ex

for the Liberals to keep down the
question of Home Rule. The Irish will
be in their benches more united than
ever before, and whether they vote
with the Liberals or with the Con-
servatives depends upon the attitude
which Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
takes towards the Irish question. If
he attempts to evade the question he
will have party of more than eighty
members blocking legislation and plot
ting his downfall. There is hardly a
doubt that long step toward Home
Rule will be taken by the Parliament
that convenes next month. 1t will
hardly be complete Home Rule. 1t IS

Ivan and Peter l., who came to b.
known in history as Peter the Great
Seven years later Peter became sole
sovereign. At the time of his death
! in 1925 the Russian court was divided
into two powerful parties. The ono
demanded that the crown should go
to Peter, the son of Alexis, brother OF
Peter the Great, who had been put -
death by his own brothers decree Tho
other faction called for the crowninS
of Catherine, the widow of Peter the
Great.
The latter finally triumphed, but her
reign was a brief one, for she died
within two years. Before her death
| she nominated Peter, the son of Alexis,
to be her successor. In 1870 he was
deposed and the crown given to Anna
of Courland, daughter of Peter the
Great and Catherine. Peter H. was In
fact the last of the Romannoffs, for
the male line became extinct with his
death, but the name was preserved
through the accession of Anne OF
Courland, who was the mother of the
unfortunate Peter III.
Peter III. was dethroned and assas-
sinated in 1862. He was succeeded by
his widow, Catherine II. She reignetH
until 1896. On her death in that year
she was succeeded by Paul, who be-
came maniac and was assassinate1
in 1901. Alexander !. was crowned
and his reign continued until his death
in 1925. The next in the line of Access
sion was Nicholas l. For thirty years
he ruled over the Russians and saw
one of the stormiest periods OF the
country's history. He was succeeded
by Alexander H., in 1856.
The reign of Alexander II. was fuH
of vicissitudes. The Nihilists had be-
come emboldened by centuries of mis-
rule and tyranny, and throughout hts
reign they were plotting his death In
1880 dynamite bomb was exploded
under the royal dining room, and tie
only reason the Car and all the ruya1
family were not killed was because
they happened to be few minutes
later than usual for dinner.
A year later Alexander II. was as
sassinated. A Nihilist threw bomb,
under his carriage, tearing him To-
pieces. His successor, Alexander H.
was marked by the Nihilists several
times for assassination, but all of thetE-
plots failed. Many of them were senn
to the mines of Siberia for life ana
others put to death.
The present Gear came to the throne.
in 1894. Nicholas II. is the eldest soD
of Alexander III. He was born In
1868. Just twenty-six days after he
was crowned Gear of the Russians he
welded Princess Alix of Hesse.
