Isaiah's Prophecies

a clergyman has compared the
President with Isaiah. This is carry
ing the parallel somewhat further
back than usual. Yet it is justified.
Isaiah. who prefigured so many great
events. seems to have seen in ecstatic
vision the broad course of Republican
policy i'm 1908. We choose at random:
"Woc unto them that join house to
house and lay field to field'-the
trusts. of course. ''Then shall lambs
fed after their manner and the waste
places of the fat ones shall strangers
eat the stock exchange and stop,
ping speculation. "And the Lord
shall utterly destroy the tongue of the
Egyptian Sea''-for 'tonguc' read
"Isthm,s' and for Egyptian read
Caribbean" and you get Panama.

asses that eat the ground shall ca:

While gently satirizing the Ameri-

to take a walk and he should not wor-

"At that moment heard the

listened and was startled, because L
had never heard such rough steps in
my hall before. 1t never happened
that several people should come all at
once to my house at night. l opened
the door and crowd of detectives
and reporters entered my room. Does
Averbach live here? was asked. And
when l said yes, they showed me pic
ture of my brother and told me that
he had killed three persons.

"You can imagine how | felt at

to come home well, and instead suc!,

how l withstoOd that moment. 1t
seemed to me as if ages had passed

became confused and l made the mis-
take of saying that he had not been
home Sunday. He spent last Sunday
at the thcater and Sunday evening he
was home. reading in the company of
friends. Detectives searched me from
head to foot. They searched every
nook and corner of the house. One
detective found small bottle which
contained castor oil and he took it for
IA chemical used in the making of
bombs. He gave it to the other detec-
tive. They smelled it. examined it
and expressed their opinion that it
was some dangerous substance which
anarchists used in the making of
bombs.
"They hurried me to the station.
and there they bombarded me with
different questions. | had to stand it
all, of course. But I could not say
what | did not know. They sent me
to my brothers employer, Mr.. Eichen-
green, hoping that he would find out
from me whether my brother was

Mr.. Eichengreen was always very
kind to me. He begged me to con-
fess everything.
NO PLOTS. SHE SAYS.
''But what could confess when
knew of no plots and knew that my
brother did not belong TO any anar
chistic organization know that they
killed my brother without reason.
Besides Mr.. Eichengreen they sent me
to an elderly woman who begged me
that l should make her happy by
telling all about the conspiracy.

beauty as well as through their
wealth and social ambition. He tells
us that Hungary turn has come at
last She has at length received cher
share of American beauty, elegance,
and gOld.' He traces in glowing Ian
guage the triumphant march of the
American women through the courts
and drawing rooms of Europe. They
begin with England, he declares, and
he goes on to say:
1.-The American heiress thinks of
America as fiat and barren prose, of
Europe as ethereal fairyland of
poetry. She next turns her lOngings
toward England That country is
nearest to her heart She is bound to
England by ties of blood. She and
the English have the same language,
the same manners, the same habits.
Popular legend turns her attention to
that old island home in the East from
which the Pilgrims brought, in the
Mayflower, some of that snobbishness
which appears in the excellent Anglo
Saxons, in the ideal character of
Washington, and in the democratic in
dependence of the present-day Ameri-
can. The daughters of successful pO-
ltical bosses, Of town-builders, of
Wall street free hooters, of railroad
manipulators. long for the corOnet and
ermine of the peerage: Miss would
like to be called Lady, and off they
start, like Argonauts in quest Of the
Golden Fleece of title and a coat
of arms.
He declares that the circle of the
British upper ten was for a long
time closed against American heir
esses. 1T was not before the sixties
that you could even count upon your
fingers the wealthy American women
who had been received as members of
the British aristOcracy. From Eng
land they advanced to Italy. AS he
says:
"After England. Italy became their
favorite hunting ground. Italy was
poor: the members of it's aristocracy
were numberless. the golden butter
flies of America were attracted by the
beauty and artistic taste of Italians.
In Rome. Florence. Naples and Venice
there were American drawing rooms
which eventually turned out to be sue
cessful marriage markets..
Paris. of course. came into brisk
competition with Rome and Naples.
and under the Empire the officers OF
Napoleon won many an American
''coquet of the waltz" "Under the
republic French society lost much of
its prestige in the eyes of the Amer
lean woman. She considered a union
with a Frenchman under that regime
as descent to the canaille'
1T was understood in Newport how
doubtful meaning was attached to
the title of man who was marquis
or count merely in his own circle"
Many years elapsed before the Hun
garian aristocracy became recognized
by the ladies of the western hemis-
phere Nor did Hungarian nobies as
pire to American brides. AS Mr.. Nor
dau says:
1.-The globe -trotter is a creature who
appears but seldom in Hungarian ar
istocratic circles. Moreover. the Hun
garian aristocracy is very rich. very
powerful. and therefore very proud
and inaccessible. a Hungarian noble
man has no need to be fortune
hunter. The American belle also
finds in Hungary many competitors
The Hungarian aristOcrat finds in his
own countrywomen the fairest. the
sweetest. the most fascinating of crea-
lures. among whom the wOrld-rc-
nowned American beauty is doomed to

should be done in the brightest green The eye
itself. the very center Of the feather, should
be done in dark blue, with slight shading Of
lighter blue toward the top. OF course all this
work the eye is done in the solid or satin
stitch so that the effect is beautiful blending
Of solid colors Both feathers done in the
way and the work must be very carefully
DONE that there will be not the slightest shade
of difference between them.
I have given the directions in regard the
colors in the very best way know how: but the
way to get the very best effect is to copy a real
peacock feather closely possible. I know
of a who undertook to embroider
chasuble for a church. and the design chosen
contained over fifty butterflies My friend did
undertake in any way blend her colorings
by the laws of art, but she turned to nature. and
she caught with her own hands the fifty bu ter
flies that she required. She chloroformed them
SO that they would be still long enough for her
to copy, and then she let them go. The result
was a remarkable piece of work, and that
would be difficult to equal. Why not take the
trouble to get real peacock feather and have
the work done correctly?

HOW TO APPLY THE DESIGN

THERE are two ways to apply this design
L to the material upon which you wish to
work it.
If your material is sheer--such as hand
kcrchcf linen, lawn, batiste and the like
the simplest method is to lay the material
over the design and, with well-pointed pen
ell, draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure piece
OF transfer or impression paper. Lay it, face
down, upon the material; lay the pattern upon
this; then draw over each line of the paper
design with hard pencil or the point of
steel knitting needle. Upon lifting the pat
tern and transfer paper, you will find neat
and accurate impression of the design upon
your material
There are two points to observe in this
