seamstress, LittIe Triek.

A seamstress who is noted for her
splendid machine work says that SIZE
never puts the needle of the machine
into a piece of work without first slim
ping a piece of paper under the ma
terial.
This prevents the thread slipping or
becoming wound about the needle.
Later the piece of paper can easily
be pulled out.

Many decry the use of the sewing
machine for gathering ruff1es, but
why this should be is not known. nei-
Their is it reasonable, for the machine
does beautiful work when properly
adjusted for gathering dress material
You want TO lengthen the stitch a lit

this you will find that you can more
easily adjust the gathers, drawing uuC
or filling in more gathers in a certain

To clean white kid slippers, wash
them with benzine, using a soft
brush; rinse well in fresh benzine, and
while they are wet rub a. little French
chalk thoroughly into the kid.
This helps to remove the black

They should first be wiped with a
damp sponge and polished with soft
cloth.
A little olive oil may be used occa-
s1onally as a dressing.

the raw edges are hemmed.

A writer who recently returned
from a trip through Palestine relates
some items Of interest concerning the
co.ony of Swedes in Jerusalem, known
as the L~arssonites. They emigrated
to Jerusalem some fifty or sixty years
ago under the influence of a rival and
and have kept up a comparatively
separate existence in the Holy City
since that time. They reside in what
is called the American section. They
are a God-fearing people and live an
unassuming and exemplary life among
the Catholics and Mohammedans Of
the city. They are well known for
their charity among the poor and the
improvident Arabs. The noted Swe-
dish writer, Selma Lagerlof, some
years ago wrote a book entitled "Jeru-
salem.' in which she describes the
emigration of this sect to the Holy
City.
The newspapers of Norway and
Sweden have enjoyed a little tilt
about them accepting of official decora-
thomson the part of citizens of one
country from the other. A Christiania
daily sizes up the situation as follows:
cit has now been learned that the
rumor that the Swedish government
does not desire Swedish officials to
receive and carry any decorations of
any of. the Norwegian orders is well
founded. From a Norwegian point OF
view 1t is only another official evil
dence on the part of Sweden that her
stand on this question is made at just
exactly the same time the Swedish
press began to look for sympathy
from Norway In regard to the building
of the Swedish Continental route to
Germany. In Norway. however,
Sweden's. attitude toward Norwegian
orders has not caused nearly the
furore that was anticipated. 1t is
only pertinent to note that General
Thaulow, a Norwegian officer, who
stands very high in foreign military
circles, has returned all his decora-
tons from Swedish orders on the
ground that IL a Swedish citizen can
not carry the st. Olaf order, for In
stance, a Norwegian citizen cannot,
as a matter Of course, carry a Swed-
ish order. The Norwegian press in
general seems to approve of the gen.
erals course in this respect as being
absolutely consistent"

What is the matter with J.. c. Chris

What is the matter with J.. C. Chris
Jensen?
That Is a question widely discussed
by the newspapers of Denmark at the
present time. Christensen is one of
the leading men of the country, head
of the party of the left and formerly
prime minister. he was rorcc6 out OF
office last year. partly on account OF
the Alberti scandal and partly on ac-
count of a mistaken policy on the part
OF his cabinet. Since that tinie he has
been the leader of the opposition to
the government. at the head of which
stands Nergaard. The thing that has
notice at this time is his attitude
toward the problem of certifying Co
penhagen. The readers of this column
will recall the fact that the commits
sion for the national defense reported
In favor of fortifying the capital, both
on the landward side ard on the sea
front. The Nergaard ministry took
up the proposition and Is trying to
force 1t through the rigsdag. Chris
tensen has come u sQuarely against
the proposition. contrary to his former
views and contrary TO a. inrge element
of his party. Consequently his flop
has created surprise and indignation
within his party. which will be torn
asunder on account OF his attitude.
He is being roundly denounced by his
former friends and is defended byl
others who have been his enemies.
The project of a direct Scandina-
vian-American steamship line has not
