Now. lest we forget" let me repeat
right here that the poinsettia design
with the scroll lends itself admirably
to braiding, and even more SO TO the
coronation braid. which requires an es-

I love to advise this lumpy braid be-
cause Of the ease with which truly
handsome effect may be produced. And
/ also repeat the admonition: use the
hemming stitch and see to 1t that every
thread holding the braid crosses 1t on
the weave Of the braid. Avoid drawing
the material and rely on the nearness OF
your stitches for strength and not on
the tightness Of your pull.

"HERE are two ways to apply

IF your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste

is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.

GROVERCLEVELAND' SHONOR'
AIwaYsH Had an AbnormalSense Of
Truth and it Amounted to
Almost a Mania.

After the firstSurprise at finding him
genial and approachable, the abiding
impression of this mans personality,
was his plain honesty. OF this trait,
TO be sure, everyone was aware, but the
degree to which his sense of truth was
developed seems abnormal.
"He was the honestest man | ever
knew" as certain distinguished
lawyer said who had known Mr.. Cleve-
land long and intimately. 1t seemed
to be an innate quality and manifested
itself early in life, not an acquired
characteristic as with many children
who turn out to be good men after all
1t was the only precocious thing about
him as a child, He could hardly have
been more than four or five years old
when one day he was found crying bit
terly because apeddler who had visited
the house had accidently dropped a
pair Of suspenders and was now too far
down the road for the little fellow TO
catch up with him and return them.
The story of the neighborly hen who
persisted in laying eggs in Rev. Dir,
Cleveland's yard has already been told.
The boy Grover soberly carried them
back to the neighbours house each day,
and finally made such a fuss about it
that the hen had TO be suppressed.
Truth was passion with him, al
most mania. One of his friends tells
a story TO the point. Mr. Cleveland
had been relating his first experience
in killing salmon; the guide had given
him the usual admonition that when a
fish struck he must keep his thumb off
the reel until the fish swallowed the
hook. Presently beautiful fish struck,
and struck hard, but topped on.
81 told you to keep your thumb OIL
the reel, " said the guide.
81 didn't have my thumb on the
reel" was the reply.
"But," he added in relating the story,
81 oughtn't to have said that; Pm
afraid my thumb grazed the reel. I've
thought of it again and again; it wasn't
right for me to contradict him. The
guide couldn't answer back, F" and he
actually looked as troubled about ii as
if it had happened that morning in
stead of years ago. No further refer
ence was made to the story by either
of them enthusiastically a coubleof days
later Mr.. Cleveland said, I'd like Il
show you justhow my thumb was with
reference to that reel and he illus
trated with his rod.
"Well," if that was the position,
said his friend, ''it didn't tighten thu
line in the least and you were al
right"
