REALLY NOVEL SOFA PILLOWS
How One Woman Found Use for Small
Embroidered Tea Cloths.

A woman who can cleverly utilize
odds and ends that most of us would
throw away has found a fascinating
use for small embroidered tea cloths
that are too small for a card table
and too big for a centerpiece. She
turns them into sofa pillows that are
striking in their novelty.
If the cloth has a deep embroidered
border the center of linen is cut away
and the border appliqued to cover
of colored art linen, giving it an air
of handsome hand embroidery. These
cushions are made up to button SO
they may be easily laundered.
A tea cloth with drawn work border
is. used as a cover to colored lining,
which gives charming effect with no
work. Sometimes a large monogram
is embroidered heavily in the center of
the tea cloth. 1t is done either in
white or in a color to match the lin
ing.
This is an excellent way to use
centerpieces that have worn into holes,
though the border is still in good con.
dition.

A Tariff Aroument.

While there is something to be said
for revision of the tariff downward
there are some remarkable examples
of argument without reason. One of
the most fragrant examples of this sort
is the article of Miss Ida Tarbell in the
March American Magazine. Through
out this writer takes the prices of
commodities for the lean year of 1896
and compares them with the prices OF
the boom year of 1906, charging the
difference wholly to the Dingley tariff.
A more absurd comparison could hard
1y be conceived.
That there was an immediate i'm
provement in business after the cleo
ton of Mckinley in 1896 everybody
knows That it was followed by an ad-
vance in prices and in wages is equal
ly we'll known. But the era of greatly
advanced prices did not set in until
after the Spanish war, and really not
until two years later Without any
change in the tariff there has been a
material decrease in prices of many
things since 1907 and marked ad-
vance in others. In the commodities
Miss Tarbell particularly mentions the
course of prices abroad has been in
the same direction as here during the
past ten years. Surely the tariff in
this country has not advanced the
price of the Epglish-made goods.
1t is such ill-considered theses that
have created the confusion that pre-
walls on the whole tariff question. If
writer's of reputation cannot distin-
guish between diverse causes and eff
fects they ought at least to refrain
from adding their confused percep-
lions to the discussion of the question.

Ti!Iman Repre.ent. Only Him.eIf.

Senator Tillman is fond of voicing
on the floor of the senate extreme
views with respect to the race ques-
ton and asserting and assuming that
he is speaking the sentiment of the
whole south. Senator Bacon the other
day found occasion to remind him that
he was not correctly representing the
sentiment of the whole south. and to
advise him that he assume to speak
only for himself or for his state in
giving voice to extreme ideas. Sena-
tor BacOn's point was well taken Too
many persons are prone to accept Sen
ator Tillman as a representative of
southern public sentiment, whereas he
is nothing of the kind. He doesn't
even represent South Carolina. as
whole, but only himself, and that for
personal purposes.-Savannah News

The Day at Home.

The feminine custom of having a
day at home originated in France in
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
fury with Nine. Scudery, says the Mil
Waukee Journal.
Nine. Scudery was an authorizes
and woman whom all the great per-
sonages of old Paris delighted to
honor. She was as busy as any mod
ern American woman and for that rea-
son being also a wise woman she or
ganized her activities. She had two
days week at home. Her Saturdays
became historic, for it was then she re
ceived the brilliant men and beauti-
full women who made famous the salon
of Hotel Rambouililet. On Tuesdays
she received her intimate friends.

Iaft,s Tariff Talk.

President Taft has been driven by
Misrepresentation in New York to
fresh statement of his position on the
tariff. This should not have been nee
essary, for what he now says is but
reiteration of what he said repeatedly
during the campaign-that his party
is pledged to an early revision of the
tariff-and the country now expects
the immediate fulfiIlment of this prom
Use. AS to the precise changes to be
made in the tariff, Presid INT Taft did
not then and does not now express
opinion. That the present tariff needs
revision - modification, equalization.
adjustment of duties to actual condf-
tions-is agreed. Whether the reyis-
ion be up or down or in some
places up and in others down. is
question of detail, the fundamental
purpose of a protective tariff being
conceded. The great thing at pres
ent is to reach conclusion as
early as possible, that business may
be relieved from suspense.

Ribbons for Lingerie.

The latest touch for lingerie is to
have cherry ribbon bows to fasten up
the dainty garments instead of the old
familiar baby blue and pale pink. This
is very decided change and one that
indicates complete revolution in the
general dressing of the particular
woman Where before she attempted
to wear only feminine garments of
the soft shades, she now would not
think of wearing the plain white gown
without some touch of splashy en-
broidery.
AS you see, she carries out the idea
even to her dainty bits of lingeries.
Light shades are far too quiet. Some
thing really definite must be worn, and
while all of the embroidered under
garments are quite simple and
trimmed only with hand embroidery or
band of real valenciennes lace, the
color of ribbons makes up for lack of
feminine frills and furbelows.

1t has steadied the loyalty of the Phil

Renewing the Edge of Skirts.

In buying a new petticoat it is al
ways wiser to get one several inches
too long. Run in one or two tuckS
just above the feunce, and when the
edge is worn it can be cut off, re-
ihemmed, and the tucks let out, and
the skirt takes on a new lease of life.
Do not leave the drawstring in the
top of the petticoat. This means a
certain ridge at the waist line. The
top should be cut off, darted to fit, put
into narrow band and fastened with
a hook and eye or button.

Back StitcInu.

To start back stitching, take a short
stitch on the upper side and a long
one on the under side, bringing the
needle out a stitch in advance of the
short one just taken. Insert the
needle where the short stitch on the
right side finishes, passing it under
the material and out again stitch in

HATCHETITES READY
FOR THE "P0LYS"

The Hachetites held one of the stiffest
practice sessions Of the season yesterday
afternoon under the direction Of Coaches
Dougherty and Brookes.

through in fine shape. They should all

rest of the team was intact with the ex-

is in good fettle. Morse leaves the hos
pital today and reports that his ankle is
in good condition from the three days
rest Both of these men will go through
light signal practice this afternoon, and
will be ready for heavy work Wed

yesterday when White was resting, and
his work was of the highest class. His

than that of any other member OF the

RIG BATTLE TOMORROW.
District Prep School Championship
TO BE Decided.

With the outcome Of the High School
Foot Ball League a certainty. all eyes
are now turned toward the battle to-
morrow on Georgetown Field. in which
| the Blue and Gray props and the Army
and Navy props will struggle for the
prep school championship Of the District.
Both elevens have made envious records
this year, and from all dope-sheets they
seem evenly matched. The Hiltoppers
defeated the Department of Agriculture
eleven by one touchdown in fierce bat
tie. while the future soldiers and sailors
lost out to the same eleven by the mar
row margin Of point.
Outside their defeat at the hands OF
Episcopal, the embryo collegians have not
lost a single game. They have one VIC
tory over Western High, which school
later held them to tie. Inasmuch as
with Tech last week, a victory OF the
props tomorrow would give them SUBJ
stantial claim to the District interscho-
lastic championship. and one that could
not be disputed. Mayhap then the black
smiths would see fit to accept the Blue
| and Grays challenge.
Capt. Kerwin announces that his line
up will be practically the same as the
| one which defeated Fredericksburg asst
Wednesday. The players have all recov-
cred from their bruises received In that
battle. and have been working hard for
| tomorrow's encounter. The presence or
| both Kerwin and Miller on the line and
Golden I'm the back field has proved to
be a strong asset, and hence none OF
these men will be shifted.
The Army and Navy team has been
| training hard ever since Its defeat at the
hands OF the Aggies, and these youngsters
also feel confident Of their ability to
clinch the victory. As this will be their
| first appearance on the gridiron against
the Georgetown props in some years. they
are anxious to down their old rivals. and
hence they are determined to fight to the
last ditch for the honors of the day.
The game will be started at o'clock
halves in order to let the Varsity have
the field at 4.
