Chicago. April 10.-As 4 Democrat and
representative or the solid South in
President Tafrs Cabinet. Secretary Of
War Dickinson tonight delivered his
first appeal to the people Of his section
OF the country for cooperation with hts
chief in working out the policies Of the
new administration.
The occasion OF the address was a re-
ception given the Secretary by the
Southern Club. in the Auditorium Annex.
Secretary Dickinson said:
Judged by all the standards by which
men are tried. President Taft gives such
promise as tustihes the American people
in expecting all the national prosperity
and happiness that can be vouchsafed
by ar able. wise. honest. and fearless I'D
msnistra;ion. I cannot give any definite
conception OF just how Il VIII come about,
but I am deeply impressed with the be
lief that great good is going TO come TO
the South under the administration Of
President Taft
Confidence T. Felt.
no President could effectively help.
and none would continue TO be disposed
to help. those who are repeuent or coldly
distant There is certainly now happy
conjunction. We have a President who
sincerely wishes actively 70 cooperate
with US TO promote our general welfare.
and our people believe in him and give
him their fullest confidence.
The people Of the North. as IS amply
manifested by the public press. are In
fun harmony with the utterances Of the
President IN respect 20 the South. This
is an invaluable condition. for full frui-
ton cannot come without their hearty
approval and cooperation.
The next four years should be a period
OF great development IN the South. An
era OF general good feeling. emphasized
by the great head OF the nation on the
many occasions that viii be presented 20

and abroad. and both are greatly needed.
Capital viii not continue to be alarmed.

criticism.

observance OF order. should and will fol-
low. The prevalence OF a kindIier senti-
ment will bring about a greater tolerance
Of differences Of opinion. md promote
freer discussion, which always brings en-
lightenment. The South has been much
disposed TO resent criticism from the out
side and to stifle II at home. There can
be no more fatal bar TO progress.

ing the destinles OF the South than they

SUGGESTIONS for Christmas Gifts

who presents hand painted paper doll
and her hand painted wardrobe to small
girl on Christmas will he pretty sure to
find her gift appreciated. The doll will
have the great advantage of not being
duplicated by any other little girl. 1t is
only necessary for the doll to have three
or four changes of garments. but of course
the more she has the merrier. A letter
file covered with nowered paper is an ex.
celent trunk in which Miss Dolly and her
clothes may be stored away for presenta.
tion at holiday time.
For boys and men pillows are made Of
leather and laced together at the edges
with leather cord. Some are quite plain
and, in fact, have no trimming at all ex.
cept the eyelets in which the thread Is
run. Others have designs-usually an
American Indian or East Indian-painted
or stamped in colors, while still others
have designs cut ont of leather of con.
trasting color or of cloth and stitched on
The colors are all quite dull-brown, dull
red, black and very dark blue leather and
cloth being used.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-14

collars and jabots are
II a necessity Of every ones wardrobe,
and therefore there is never time
when a girl who is skilled in needleworlt
may not employ herself properly in the
making of these charming tritles. The de-
signs which are now popular are varied to
suit every taste, and all sorts of hand
work. from the simplest hemstitching and
French knots TO elaborate embroideries
and laces, are used in the different styles
of collars No bit of real lace or fine EN-
broidery is too small TO use in these col
lars. and several different kinds of lace
and embroidery, with other sorts of hand
work, are employed in the same collar
There are many collars, also, whose ex-
ausite simplicity is their chief charm,
and indeed, for young girls especially,
very fine material and little equally fine
work are for most occasions preferable
to the more elaborate designs.
A very charming collar of simple design
is made of fine linen, Irish beading and
guipure edgng. The linen is the central
portion of the collar and Is embroidered
with simple rings. The Irish beading,
quite wide, is used to border the linen on
either side. The narrow edging is used as
an outer border. and the collar is finished
with a linen cravat edged with guipure.
A new batiste collar and jabot IS
trimmed with narrow Nalenciennes, hem

stery comes the furniture. With ugly
light oak, for example, TO work with,
white enamel paint had best be applied
at once and this sort of painting is really
great fun and by no means difficult. The
girl with some little talent with her brush
can make a most fascina ting set of bed
room furniture by painting sprigs or gar
lands of flowers over the white enamel,
but this is, of course, beyond the possibil-
tiles of the ordinary girl and is by no
means essential for a pretty room.
It is really remarkable what can be
done with a few cans of white enamel
paint Book Shelves chairs, tiny tables,
otherwise too shabby to use, can be reyo-
mtionized into most attractive and Orna-
mental pieces of furniture with one or
two coats of white enamel. Pale gray
is a color much in demand to-day in house
decoration and if the shape of the bureau,
desk, &c, is sufficiently good. that is to
say not heavy or cumbersome or cheap
in effect, gray against a background of
pale rose color or blue is exceedingly
pretty.
If dark furniture is preferred to white
enamel quite marvellous effect of ma
hogany can be obtained by applying
mahogany varnish to wood that has just
been thoroughly scraped with coarse sand
paper. For a girls bedroom, however,
there is nothing prettier than white fur
niture, with wall paper and hangings of
pale blue or pink, whichever is her favor
ite color.
Plain tones more than bright flowers
with their white backgrounds are now
preferred by many girls to the more strik-
ing color effects, and surely furniture COW
cred with pretty pink or blue sateen the
same color as the plain striped or moirel
wall paper is exceedingly attractive. AS
the solid shades will show soil and will
fade sooner than flower designs the ma
terial should have laid over it coveringI

Making Ones Own Portieres.

M AklNG portieres for ones room Is
an interesting occupation, and no girl
need despair of being able to accom-.
plish this design because she happens to
be neither an embroiderer nor particularly
skilled in other sorts of needework.
There are so many different styles OF
portieres now considered fashionable that
any girl who Is able to do ordinary needle.
work will find that some one of the designs
is within her possibilities.
Embroidered portieres of course come
frst and those of satin, MORE, velvet or
net are very handsome and elaborate OF
simple and charming as taste dictates, or
the other furnishing of the apartment fol
which they are intended DEGREES. The EN-.
broidery may be used alone or supple.
mented with applique, which is generally
the case nowadays. Net curtains and por.
there's are lined with silk. and the same
silk or satin is used as an applique, being
applied to the fabric with gold cord. On
the satin curtains the applique is fire..
quently entirely of heavy gold cord, and
the sewing Of these motifs to fine dra-
perry 10 piece Oh WOrk not TO De under
taken lightly.
There are, however many much simpler
Iportieres which are more suitable to the
apartment of the average girl. These are
of dull, soft silk, on which there is an
applique of flowers cut from lowered
silk or velvet, or perhaps a trimming of
gold thread worked in simple outline
stitch. Then there are quaint and charm
ing portieres in linen with applique OF
chintz and cretonne flowers, or with de-
signs cut from linen of a contrasting
shade and sewed on with heavy linen
thread. These designs may be cut in
conventional patterns of flowers, leaves,
&c, or they may be in quaint grotesque
figures, such as are used for nursery
friezes. Portieres of rep are also most
attractive when trimmed with wool en-
broideries, or if that Is beyond the skill
of the maker then these also may be
trimmed with applique figures cut from
cloth in a contrasting shade or of a
deeper tone of the same shade. The
most charming portieres, if the room be
in suitable hues, are of ivory with a
trimming either Delft or dark blue. Dull
pink and blue are also colors which look
we'll in these applique designs.

Acquiring Christmas Money.

" PENNY saved is n penny won-and
Il an excellent means Of getting to-
gether Christmas money is to com
mence at once and lay aside each one
cent piece that finds its way into the
pocketbook. Many girls commence the
day after Christmas to put into a penny
savings bank each cent that they acquire
in changing larger coins, and when the
year is up they are invariably astonished
10 find what a nice little store of wealth
has been thus easily accumulated. A
penny in itself is mere nothing, certain
y nothing of Il deprivation to keep instead
of spending, and yet it is remarkable how
soon pennies saved in this way turn into
dollars One enterprising girl was known
10 gel together enough money in the
course of "a few months to buy for herself
much coveted bit Of jewelry by simply
asking each older member of her family
to- save for her any pennies that they
found in their possession at the end OF
each day--Which shows what a little
thrift and keen business spirit can ac-
complish.
4 girl who is interested in any special
charity can also get for it many spare
pennies by keeping on her desk or table
a pretty penny bank. If the box is at
lrlctiyely encased in silk OF velvet it will
mt once attract attention, and when its
object is explained and it is insisted that
pennies only can enter the slit every purse

neglect by undergoing twinge witt
every step, and the only safe method OF
getting rid of such ailliction is to literally
put the toes in the hands of a reliable

TWO INTERESTING KINDS OF EMBROIDERY

gold lace or an embroidered floral wreath
rich in dull old tapestry colors and a
handsome example of the embroiderer's
art.
This medallion is set in the centre of a
tapestry or satin cushion or box usually,
although sometimes it is mounted and
hung upon the wall.
Itichelieu work is another sort of em-
broidery, or rather stitchery, which is at
tracting much attention 1t is made of
linen thread on linen and is a revival of
Italian work of the fourteenth and ff-
teenth centuries. The designs are large
aud full of action, hunting scenes in full
cry, professions, wedding parties, dancing
on the green, &c. Animals of all kinds,
rabbits, foxes and deer especially, are
used in the borders. The figures are solid
and heavy against background so open
as TO be almost lacelike. This work is
used for table scarfs, &c. The patterns
are buttonholed all around the figures,
and the linen outside is then cut neatly
away.

n ORTRAIT embroidery or figure en-
- broidery is now coming very much to
the front among ambitious needle
women. Needless to say, there is no at.
tempt at embroidering the portraits, OF
present day danes and demoiselles The
embroiderers stick closely to the more
picturesque personages of old times ana
set them forth upon brocade and tapestry
backgrounds that are highly becoming to
their style Of beauty.
These portrait embroderies are used
for cushions, boxes, letter racks, &c. The
design is printed, so that it is not very
difficult to follow, but even then only q
person with some artistic ability, as well
as skill in embroidery, can complete the
work satisfactorily. Usually some fa,
nous great lady of history is portrayed
in these embroideries The design is
wrought on "A medallion which has a solid
background of stitchery in shaded colors
of silk and wool. The portrait is deyel-
oped in a variety of shades, and is
framed in gold embroidery, border of
