a second love affair which grips the

Embroidered handkerchiers make
lovely tops for pillows for babies car
riages and cribs. They serve as or
namental materials from which to
fashion corset covers and laundry
bags, and an entire bedspread with
pillow shams to match may be made
by joining the edges of cheap lace
bordered handkerchefs over lace
beading. The beading is not a neces-
sity, but 1t allows so many pretty col
or introductions in the way of ribbons.
Fancy bordered handkerchiefs make
lovely founces for petticoats, and
Jokes and sleeves for nightgowns as
well as for shirtwa's SITS. The work of
making these things is more than half
done when the ready-trimmed hand
kerchief is used for forming them
People always seek new and pretty
manners of making bags that are easv
to manufacture. Two colored border
ed big handkerchiefs, such as are sold
for fancy work make up into a beauti-
full bag when laid so that the corners
of the top handkerchief project beyond
the sides Of the one beneath. With
colored silk in a fancy stitch sew
these two handkerchiefs together about
two inches above the outer edge Of the
border This makes a very fancy Dor
der above eight points.
Cut two crossing Sits across the mid
die of the top handkerchief and turn
down the four corners thus formed
Sew them down with the same fancy
stitching that trims the borders and
add two crossing loops of ribbon to the
top opening to hang the bag up by.
Bows and ribbon decoration NAV be
added, but as it is the bag is pretty,
useful for many purposes. and easily

There has Just been a remarkable
election in one of the parliamentary
divisions in the county of Suffolk,
England, where two high born ladies
have been trying to win a vacant seat
at Westminster, one for her husband,
Mr.. Harold Pearson, and the other for
her affianced husband, the Marquis Of
Graham. The young nobleman's cham
pion was none other than Lady Mary
Hamilton, the richest girl in the Unit
ed Kingdom, and, as the campaign has
shown, the most persuasive and most
popular woman who has ever made a
stump speech, kissed a farm laborer's
babies, or lodged a decayed egg; for
all of these things happened in Suf-
folk recently. Mr.. Pearson was elect
ed by a narrow majority, although his
predecessor, the late Liberal member
had so many votes on his side that his
opponents had allowed him to hold the
seat for years without a contest; but
Lady Mary Hamilton, who has i'm
mense possessions in the county, de-
termined that her future husband
should represent the division in Par
lament for the Tory party, and so she
set out on the most remarkable con-
test in recent history She made g
house to house canvass OF the i'm.
mense district, accompanied by the
candidate, who, howevel played a mi
