Sewinu TIPS.


Hemming on lightweight wool goods
should be done by hand and with a
short needleful of split silk. This
does away with the tight twisting Of
the fine single silk and in consequence
makes a prettier hem. Another good
plan is to use the rawlings Of the ma
terial. as this is a perfect match and,
having the same sheen as the material,
does not show If chance stitch goes
through.
In stitching a pocket on the outside
of a garment run the stitching half an
This prevents the body Of the garment
from tearing, as is SO often the case
when the pocket is put on in the old
way. When stitching around cuff or
wristband on the machine always turn
the sleeve wrongside out, then set the
presser foot inside the wristband.
A nice little embroidery bag is made
of cretonne covered with two embroid-
cry hoops and finished at the ends with
cardboard covered with cretonne just
the size Of the hoops. In other words,
the bag is built like barrel, with an
opening at the side. This opening Is
held together by lacing with ribbon or
by two buttons. The bag is carried by
ribbon loops. which are fastened at
each end to the embroidery hoops 1t
is pretty and the sewing materials do
not get lost when thus protected.

CIeveIand's Answer to Shakespeare
Invitation Averted "A Crisis.
After President Cleveland had sent
his famous Venezuela message to Con-
gress in 1895, he wrote letter in re-
Spouse to an invitation to deliver an
address In Birmingham on Shakes
peares birthday which did much to
allay public feeling In England.

Clures:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
March 30, 1S96.-My Dear Mr.. Parker:
l have received your letter informing
me that the Birmingham Dramatic
and Literary Club intends to celebrate
the birthday of Shakespeare on the
21st of April, and extending to me on
behalf Of the club an invitation to be
present on that occasion.
Everything that tends to keep alive
the memory of Shakespeare and pre-
serves a proper appreciation of his
work. challenges my earnest interest
and approval; and though cannot be
with you on the occasion you contem-
plate. l am glad to know that our
American people are to be prominently
represented in the celebration
There is much said and written, in
these days, concerning the relations
that should exist, bound close by the
strongest ties, between English-speak-
ing peoples, and concerning the high
destiny that awaits them in concerted
effort. l hope we shall never know a
time when these enrolling sentiments
will be less often expressed, or will
in the least lose their potency and in
fluence.
Surely, II English speech supplies
the token of united effort for the good
of mankind and the impulse of an ex-
allied mission, we do well fittingly to
honor the name and memory of Will
lam Shakespeare. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND. .

press was generous and high-minded;
Punch joined the chorus with page

ghost which had been raised by the
