LEGISLATION Is OPPOSED.
Ex-Secretary Foster Discusses thu
Venezuelan Controversy.

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons has been put in possession Of a brief
on the Venezuelan controversy. prepared
by Mr.. John W. Foster, former Secretary
of State on behalf of "a number of ctti-
zens and companies of the United States
interested in the trade with Venezuela
Spanish-American countries" Mr.. Foster
explains at the outset that these citizens
and companies are solicitous that no ac-
ton be taken by Congress that will put
in jeopardy or prejudice their interests in
those countries. unless such action is de-
manded by a strict sense Of duty and to
maintain the honor of the United States.
Mr.. Fosters argument against inaction
by Congress In the Venezuelan cases is
based on several premises. AS to the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt Company
case. he first quotes authorities and then
concludes that it is the settled policy of
this government not to go to the aid of its
citizens resident abroad when they have
conspired to overthrow the government
of the foreign country wherein they are
residents. He then asserts that this COM
pany has justly been charged with fur
nishing aid to the Matos revolution in
Venezuela.
The brief of Mr.. Fost"r declares that
four of the five cases pending grew out
of alleged breach by the Castro govern
ment of contracts between the claimants
and that government. All of these con-
tracts. 1t is added, are subject to the
requirement of the Venezuelan constitu-
ton. either stipulated or implied. that all
controversies respecting the contracts
shall be referred to the courts of Vene-
zuela. whose Judgment shall be finaf This
situation 1t is asserted. would preclude
the Intervention of the United States in
these cases.
Another point made in the brief is that
1t has been the invariable rule of the
American Congress to reserve its power

man sent to the Brooklyn police authori-
ties, as stated in yesterdays Star, brought
the response last night from Acting Cap

railroad depot Monday night and went
with her to the fashionable boarding
house of Mrs. r. G. Hayes, $40 Jefferson
avenue, where Miss Crook obtained a
position. She was found at the boarding
house by two detectives and told she
would have to return home. She was
greatly affected by the adverse turn in
her love affair. but she said she would

avail her anything. Rhoden had but
little to say of his part of the affair. He
had met Maud Crook during the time he
was in this city for treatment at the Ma

ance.

Pretty Garters

40 many women complain that the

which are attached to the cor
sets. tear out the stockings. but there
is a clever woman who has found a
way out of the difficulty She sews
two bits of white tape to the top OF
her stockings and places them so they
are each just where the patent fas-
feners usually come in contact with
the stocking. She then removes the
fasteners from the garters and uses, in
their stead. little pieces Of ribbon
which match the color used in her
corset cover. When she puts on her
stocking in the morning she slips the
ribbon in the loop of the garter and
then through the tape In her stocking.
tying the end in a neat bow.
Not only does this method save the
stockings and lengthen their period
of usefulness. but it makes a pretty
finish far more dainty than the pat
ert fastener could possibly be.
The form OF the arrangement might
even be varied. Brown tame might
be fastened on brown stockings. and
one might even have bit OF brown
ribbon Again. a buttonhole might
be worked In the top OF the stock
ing. in which case the tape might be
dispensed with. Surely 1t would be
better to even go to that much trouble
than to spend countless hours In the
uncongenial task OF mendine sl,pned
threads

How to Apply the Design

in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is.
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at ever point.
The second is. when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot possibly slip dur
ing the operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. ad-
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are so liable To crock.
Do not rest your hand or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint of
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines OF the design.

THERE are two ways to apply
i this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the like-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with a well-pointed pen
Gil, draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down. upon the
material; lay the pattern upon this;
then draw over eatl line Of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the point Of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper, you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.

Hints for the Seamstress

TT is said that II the machine needle

u right again by rubbing the material

1t seems to have the effect Of an emery.
II it would injure the material to treat
1t in this way. why not do a little
stitching on q waste bit of cloth well
soaped?
Should the material gather when sewn
by machine. put piece OF brown pa
per under 1t. This will keep the needle
from catching in the fine threads of
the material. or course. when the sew
ing is finished the paper easily pulls
away. leaving no trace. This is par
ticularly necessary knowledge when the
