SHOOTING THE EDITOR.


A new principle Of Jurisprudence

the killing OF IN editor may appeal to
some people as Il very convenient
procedure. and far more satisfactory
than bringing suit for libel against
a man mot worth the price OF a plug

drawbacks and disadvantages, which
should bg taken into consideration
before It Is rashly endorsed, says the
Pittsburg Gazette Times.
The very completely Of organization
which marks the modern newspaper
presents an initial difficulty. 1t is con.
ceivable. for instance. that a pugllist
might shoot ut the religious editor be.

able that poet might assasslnate the
political editor because the dIscrlmin.
ating lady who presldes over the wo.
mans page had put one of his sonnets
into the waste basket. There Is so
much room for mistakes from mixed
identity that the plan would hardly
commend itself to sober.mindel men.
A further objection rests on the dis.
proportion which would often be felt
between punishment and crime. Should

BELTS MAY BE CUT
TO CONTOUR OF WAIST

If the heavily embroidered linen
belts, or weu-canvased cloth ones.
persist in slipping up TO disclose the
waist and skirt attachments. there is
a way out-and it's all in the shape.
Was there ever a problem IN the
realm of fashion that could not be
solved by some womaus genius?
There are women who nave just ex-
aCLlE the correct contour 10 be per

very simple solution is the belt

round the waist, but cut two inches

When may buttons be made at home?
First. last and often, hut not always,
because on some of the more magnid-
cent costumes the buttons must Eeces-
sarily be of richest crochet, with the
UDdercOyeTing Of satin showing through
or else covered with satin, which re-
quires very accurate manufacture, OF
Of the jeweled variety. The handmade

pickup work, mechanical enough TO
admit of conversation sprinkled in al
ter the first button OF two.
some OF the marrow novelty braids
woven round and round and sewed as
they are woven make rich buttons. The
gOld and silver bYaids ere used in but
ton making for evening dresses. a bas-
ket weave combining the two is a new
and effective covering, but is too diff
cult to recommend except to the very
experienced.
Button decorations and centers OF
shaped opaque beads, which may be
had at the fancy work counters, are
particularly ornate. giving a richness
TO house gowns and evening dresses
and for repeating some note Of color
in the gown or the jewelry. These
braided and beaded buttons are neces-
saruy less difficult when large; they
may be woven ON thin, firm silk or
dress material first or may be worked
upon the covered button mould.
BrOadclOth admits or the same varied
treatment that linen does, and is q par
riculaTly firm material for home button
making. Use twisted embroidery silk
on brOadclJth and mevcer.zed cotton on
linen. Trace or draw the patterns you
want 20 emDrJider. because, the mould
being round, there viii be much uuCer-
tainty about getting them alike. DO not
cut the material into small circles and
then attempt 10 embTOi5er il. II is
much less difficult to use embroidery
rings, and therefore to keep the ma
terial i'm a large piece. Draw your cir
cles on IL and work them before they
are cut out.
a simple design, such as a cOnven-
ti0nal flower with four petals, will
make more attractive buttons than a
more complicated design. After the
petals are padded and worked solid,
edge them with an outline stitch
Outlining is the better stitch for very
small buttons.
