which has carried the fame of the United States into every corner of the globe, and the fieet-footed thoroughbred, whose prowess has been heralded not only on the home tracks. but also on the heaths of England. In the preparation of the premium list, care has been taken to make the subdivisions as numerous and the prizes as liberal as possible; hence, those who partic- ipate are assured that a piece of neediework or peck of potatoes will be as acceptable and receive as much care in listing and placing on exhibition as blank presenting the name of a prospective Lou Dillon" of ''Salvator."

creasing, the British public mind is
about ripe for an overthrow of the ira
ditional British policy.
1t would be reasonable to expect in a
time like this that the socialist and
labor vote would greatly increase, but
such was not the case in the recent
municipal elections. All the substan-
tial gains were made by the unionists,
the party which advocates protective
tariff and which went down to defeat
at the last general election because of
the Chamberlain propaganda, which
was then too new to be acceptable to
British voters taught for a generation
to believe that free corn and a cheap
breakfast were the only things needed
to make the British workman happy.
The years since then have rudely jolt
ed the theories of the Golden CLUB
and the British workman has often
found himself hungry, though all his
edibles are untaxed.
1t is the judgment today OF politi-
clans that general election could be
forced any time the unionists saw fit,
but as things are now the longer a par
liamentary election is delayed the bet

TWO IDEAS FOR SUNsHADES.
Pretty Trimming That Need Not Be
in Any Way Costly.

A plain sunshade of habutai rivals
the handsomest of its kind when lined
by mousseline de sole to which
splashy cretonne roses are sewn.
When the parasol is folded, no one
would imagine it to be anything but
white, but when it is opened and the
sun shines through the thin materials,
the cover seems to have faint design
Of roses, almost invisible and alto
gether alluring.
Any one can carry out the idea by
buying white parasol and lining 1T.
Not many roses need be used; in fact,
only few-just uggestion-give
the prettiest effect. They are best
placed in q row about three inches
above the edge of the sunshade, and
about two on each panel are quite suf-
ficient. This makes 16 in all for the
average parasol.
For more elaborate sunshade, the
outer border might be formed of large
roses. and toward the stick the flow
ers might become smaller, thus max
ing decoration for the whole. Great
care must be taken in choosing the
flowers that the effect is not overdone
ard made ordinary.
