Decoration for a Canvas slipper,


Where did you get that love CT
slipper" cried the admiring friends Of
the ingenious girl. The ingenious girl
lifted her pretty party dress a little TO
disclose the cunningest white canvas
slipper Imaginable, decorated with
single wild rose on the tip or the toe.
oh, YOU think it took half of my
weeks pay to procure that piece Of
vanity did YOU? she said. laughingly.
Well. 1 am rather eXtravagent, but
not quite bad as that. These are
my last summers plain white shoes
The Dresden effect is mere after
thought"
But how did you do ito" inquired
the friend. thinking OF the very much
soiled pair of white shoes that adorned
her closet shelf at home. I didn't know
you We're artistic"
I'm not" said the ingenious girl. Il
traced this rose from one in piece of
wall paper. on the toe of my shoe.
Then 1 went TO the paint store and
asked the clerk to give me a
tube Of rose pink oil paint and another
Of leaf green. I filled in the outline
perfectly, without attempting to shade
it at all, and behold the effect. 1t Is
really better than if l had tried to
shade it. for it stands out palmer, and
doesn't look so blotchy. Did you no
tice that the shoes are tied with pink
ribbons to match?"
The friend had noticed it and she
made up her mind on the spot to fix
up the pair of old white shoes that she
had given up as hopeless in the very
same way.

stand for two weeks. After that
strain the liquid into a clean bottle

COLLARS AS GIFTS.

If you are at a loss to know what
to give as a Christmas present, by all
means make one or more of the en-
broidered collars that are so much
worn this season. They are used not
only with tailored waists, but with
lingerie blouses, and even with waists
Of silk and wool. If one makes a
practice of wearing these collars at all,
they need at least half a dozen, and
of the and-embroidered sort one can
never have too many They are very
easy to embroider, as there is very
little work on them.

WOMAN AND HER WATCH.

Watchmakers say it is amazing WON

view of the fact that about five wom-
en- in a hundred remember to wind their
watches at the proper time. The aver
age woman looks on the winding of a
watch either as a ceremony to be per-
formed only on gala days or as a pas
time that will do well enough as a
stop-gap for idle moments, but must not
be permitted to interfere with the Sc
rious things of life. The explanation
probably is that she doesn't wear it
every day.

USE FOR WHITE LINEN WAISTS.

White linen waists are worn this
winter as vests to the silk and velvet
blouses. And in this connection it
may be mentioned that ones old waists
may be proftably impressed into SER
vice, no matter what the material or
how worn out the waist may be,
providing the yoke remains. The waist
can be worn in such a way that it does
duty as a guimpe, yoke or vest. There
is no limit to the number of old waists
that one can wear in this manner.

A CHEAP LESSON.
New York Abandons Its Experiment In
Municipal Lighting.

New York Abandons Its Experiment In
Municipal Lighting.
About two years ago the city Of
New York installed at a cost of 1922
34S a combined garbage incinerator
and electric light plant the current
developed being used to light the VIII
iamsburg bridge. The intention was
to effect a saving over the cost Of
lighting the bridge by contract, and
after the plant had been In operation
six months Commissioner Woodbury.
estimated that the saving amounted to
about 40 per cent.
1t was therefore somewhat Of a sur
prise to those who were not aware OF
the real facts to learn that the lighting
plant had been shut down. The engi-
neers in charge frankly admit that the
plant has been run at loss, and, al
though they are chary about giving
figures, the best Information obtaina-
BILE is to the effect that the loss amount
ed to about $4,000 year as compared
with the cost by contract. In other
words. 1t cost the city with free fuel
about twice as much TO light the
bridge as private company charges,
although the company has to buy its
fuel
1t is fortunate for New York that Ii
made its electric lighting experiment
on a small scale, for If Ii had under
taken to do all its public lighting and
had sustained a proportionate loss the
effect on the tax rate land indirectly
on rents would have been such as to
make the NJ. o. advocates move to some
locality where their theory had not be-
come a condition. AS 1t is the lesson
Will be cheap at the price-if It has
been really learned.

CAUSE OF RoME's FATE.
Decay Of the Citizen a Prelude to Its
Downfall.

Not long ago the Esquiline cemetery
cred a pit 1000 feet long and 800 feet
deep. II was an ancient burial ground
for slaves, who were thrown into IL
along with the carcasses of animals
and the refuse of the city. If ii be
true that methods of human burial in
dictate the value which is placed on
human life. these Roman slave pits
are in themselves sufficient to indi
cate the spirit that lay behind Roman
civilization. The collective tyranny
was reproduced in the acts Of the sin
gle citizen. His voracious egoism was
expressed in the boast OF Roman cap
italists that their own domains and
their own slaves supplied them with
almost every article that they needed,
and made them independent of the
fluctuations of the markets. That is
the picture of a society breaking up.
II is for such reasons that II the de-
cline of an empire is as Gibbon called
il, the most awful scene in the his
tory of mankind" it is scene which
cannot find its ultimate explanation
in the narrow formulate Of politics
and economics For nation is col
lection of individuals whose actions
contain elements of surprise, and are
incalculable, and the sum of their
characters is the national conscience.
Hence the national conscience may
vary from century TO century. On the
private tombs of the Romans there
have been discovered dedications to
Nemesis. But We cannot measure ev-
cry step of that long and insiduous
process of deterioration in their pri-
vate character, which at last caused

i am Of course opposed to any such
