Mr.. Bryce on Oklahoma.

1t is reported that Mr.. James
Bryce, ambassador TO Washing
ton from his Britanic Majesty,
may have become persona non
grata TO the American admis-
tration because OF his recent in
terview on the su jeot of the
proposed constitution of Oklaho-
ma. President Roosevelt has
waxed exceeding wroth and
wants the distinguished English
statesman raked over the Goals
for "meddling in American sf-
fairs"
Let's look backward for q mo-
ment and understand just what
Mr.. Bryce did. During a recent
trip to Oklahoma he made an
earnest and intel lgent study of
conditions there. Among other
things, he investigated the pro.
posed constitution. Being per-
haps the greatest authority in
the world on such matters, it was
but natural that he should take
an interest in it.
After his investigation some
one asked him what he thought
of the constitution for the new
state, He replied, "I think it is
a very sensible document, and
not too long" That was all, but
il was enough to arouse the ire
OF Mr.. Roosevelt, who has de.
clared that the constitution will
not do. and has threatened to
keep the whole class in at recess
If il does not frame up one to his
liking. Without thinking of Mr..
Roosevelt in connection with the
matter at all-probably caused
by not thinking of him very much
az any time-Mr. Bryce ventured
to express an opinion on a SUBJ
ieot that he is familiar with ana
concerning which he has a world
wide reputation as an expert.
1t is because of this reputation
and the consequent weight that
Mr.. Bryce's opinion will have
that the Pres,dsut enters yigor.
Gus protest. He wouldn't have
uttered a chirp if the Chinese
minister had said exactly the
same thing.

HOW TO SHRINK WASH GOODS.


Washable materials Of all sorts will
give much greater satisfaction and
wear longer If shrunken before they
are made up. This can be easily done
with very little trouble.
First lay the material in yard folds,
then haste all the selvages together on
one side only. Then haste each end
through all the folds In exactly the
same manner. The selvages on the
other side are left free. Next fold. it
neatly so II viii lay smoothly in the
vessel prepared for 1t. not crushing at
all
This tub. etc. IS filled with cold wa
ter in sufficient quantity to cover the
goods TO be immersed. The material
should be left in the water for about
half an hour. when it should be wrung
out lightly to avoid creasing. Hang
the basted end to the line. then pull
and straighten with the hands. slipping
/ them up and outward between the free
\ selvages. When nearly dry release the
hastings on the two ends and assist the
drying by shaking and shaping. and
4 crease the folds to denote yard lengths
I When quite dry, cut the basting
/ threads from the selvage end, wher
the material should look like new. Ii
all probability no ironing viii be neces-
sary.

TrainleNN GsONXns.

The girl who wants a wedding dress
that she can wear afterward, VIII be
delighted to hear that trainless gowns
for this great occasion are growing
more and more fashionable.
A court dressmaker in London says
that the unpopuiarity of the bridal
train is one of the most surprising
things, to her. of modern times. wv e
have recently made three wedding
dresses of tulle, chiffon and ninon de
sole" she said no longer than the
average ball dress, but in each the
lace veil formed an artistic train. To
arrange one of these train wells is
difficult Only small portion of the
fine lace must fall over the face.

WHAT THE WOMEN FOLK
ARE TALKING ABOUT.

To iron shirt waist with buttons in
back, fold towel three or four times.
lay under buttons. iron over back; the
buttons will sink into towel. making
a smooth surface between them.
In hanging clothes out to dry, first
hang up the thickest part, waist or
neckbands. etc, because If hung by the
thinner part the water will run into
the thick part lodge there and take
longer to dry. Second. hang up every
thing wrong side out. so that any &C
cidental soil will not do so much dam
age as If it appeared on the right side.
Save the papers that you get ham
or lard in. They will come in useful
on ironing days If the iron is rubbed
over the greasy paper every time 1t is
taken from the stove it will keep clean
and smooth.

AN INEXPENSIVE LUNCH CLOTH.

Where there is a large family, and
especially where there are a number
of children, the supply of table linen
of various sorts which is needed is
rather appalling. Lunch cloths. which
are inexpensive and easily made. can
be made with butchers linen, at Is
cents a yard. Take four squares of the
linen, of such a size that when they
are put together they will make q
cloth of the desired size. Hem these
and join them together with a rather
wide thread lace insertion, either tor
chon or cotton torchon. or an imita-
ton Cluny. Let the two lengths of in
sertion which join the squares cross
in the middle. When Numbered the
cloth is pretty and attractive for every
day use.
