The Vandyke collar and cuffs of lace

In the case of a tall. slender woman
the bordered challis make up into most
attractive house frocks.
The long skirt of the plain falls in soft
folds some inches on the floor all around,
while the bordering is used for tunic
effect. The square across the knees style
and the bordering running down the left
side are both fashionable, SO the height
of the wearer may determine the choice.
There is something very graceful looking
about the tunic short at the front and

down the left side of a tunic almost

What Every Wife Needs.

She needs a good temper, cheerful
disposition and knowledge of how her
husband should be treated She needs a
capability of looking on the bright side
of life, and refusing to be worried by
small things She needs secure grasp
of such subjects as are of interest to
men, and should not be above studying
even politics in order to understand
should her husband speak of them. She
needs a sympathetic nature in order that,
should sorrow fall upon them, she may
be able to give comfort to her husband.
says Woman's Life. She needs to under
stand something of sick nursing; wife
with no notion of what to do in cases
of illness is but a useless thing. She
needs considerable tact and patience-the
one to enable her to know when to remain
silent, and vice versa, and the other to
put up with him when his temper is
ruffled.

Elderly women have reason to be CRATE
full to the designers this season, for al
most practically the same models worn
by younger women are appropriate LOT
those of middle age and past IT.
Especially is this true in regard 10
house frocks. The long, simple lines pre-

daughters may choose the same styles,
making slight difference only in detail.
For instance, in the finish at the neck OF
the sleeves the younger women may ike
Ia cut away at the collar and abbrevlate
the sleeves and if the elderly woman
mas plump neck and arms, she' too'
may wish to follow the same lines
But not all middle-aged women are
stout, and one of the thinner type may
prefer to veil the neck and lengthen the
: Ieevee. She certainly will if she desires
to look her best. A neck too thin or d
skin dark and SalloW Will not De al az
tractive sight no matter how fashionable
the gown worn may be-
Fortunately. both the bare and the COW
cred neck are considered correct, so that
the finish may depend entirely upon the
type of figure that will wear the gown.
Then again the present styles allow or SO
many variations that, given plenty Oh ac-
cessories one gown may be changed to
give the impression of being three or four
different ones.

Canning Recipes.
Corn and Beans.

There are several different ways of can
ming beans and corn at home. The first
is what is known as the intermittent
method" and is recommended by most
cooking school teachers.
For the beans, select them when young
and tender. String. then cut or break
into short lengths. Have in readiness
some thoroughly sterilized glass jars and
new rubbers. A can rubber should never
be used second season. Fill the jars
with the beans. pressing them in COM
pactly until the jar is filled to within an
inch from the top. Pour cold water to
fill, first adding a teaSpoonful Of salt. Put
the rubber ring around the neck of the
lar and pace the glass top on loosely. If
you use the spring top jar do not press II
down. Have ready wash boiler or large
bottomed kettle with a wooden or WIRE
rack to prevent the jars touching the bot
tom. Put in as many jars as the space
will accommodate without permitting
them to touch each other. A coil or rope
or twists of hay can be used to separate
the cans Pour in cold water to cover
the cans, to about half their depth, ao-
Just the cover of the boiler and set over
the fire. Bring the water to a boil and
cook steadily for an hour or longer At
the end of that time take of the cover OF
the boiler to let the steam escape. screw
the tops of the cans tightly or press down
the spring and let stand In the boiler uh-
til the next day Then raise the spring
again or partially Unscrew the top, so as
to relieve the. pressure from the steam
about to be generated. Add more water
to the boiler if necessary and COOK an
and leave until 1.-THE third day. when the
same process is to be repeated another
hour. Then, when sterilization is com
plete screw tightly and. when cold iabei
frNvV
and put away. In taking the cans from
the boiler be careful not to set them in
draught. as a sudden change In tempera-
ture is apt to crack the jar
To Can Corn.
Pluck the corn when the grains are full
of milk and before they have commenced
to harden. Husk the silk and with
sharp knife cut the grains from the ear,
pressing out the juice from the huils.
Pack the Jar as full as possible. add
teaspoonful of salt and proceed as with
the beans.
Another Way to Can String Beans.
String the beans. cut in two-inch
lengths. cover with boiling sailed water
and cook until nearly tender enough to
eat Have plenty of water boiling near
at hand in the teakettle. Drain the wa
ter from the beans. put in sterlzing glass
lars and pour in fresh boiling water, leav-
ing just space enough for two tablespoon
fuls boiling hot vinegar. Seal and set
away in the dark. When ready to use.
open the can, turn off the water. rinse ana
,et come to a boil in fresh water to which
has been added piece of soda the size OF
a pea. Turn off this water. scald again in
fresh water, season with salt, pepper.
cream and butter, and fancy without much
stretching of the imagination that you
are eating fresh string beans.

LONDON, July 24.-The British con-
stitution is unwritten and IN
tangible collection of working agree
ments and compromises crystall1Zed
into political conscience. The king has
a legal right and power to veto bill
passed by parliament, but the constitu-
ton forbids. The royal veto has not been
exercised since the days of Queen Anne,
and the failure to use it has established
a precedent which now has the force of
constitutional authority. But the law
the written statute the solemn Enactment
of the legislature = never has been
changed Many things in England are
legal having the authority of legislative
statute or royal edict. which are uncon-
stitutional These laws are not set aside
as null and void as is the when
the Supreme Court of the United States
decides that legislative enactment is in
conflict with the provisions of the fed
eral Constitution. but they remain on
the statute books waiting for a time
when the public conscience will change
the Constitution.
The present constitutional crisis is an
outsrowth of this peculiarly British sys-
tenn. For nearly 300 years the house of
lords had no constitutional right to
amend, reject or in any way whatever
interfere with the exclusive right of the
commons to legisiate concerning money
matters. But the house of lords always
retained it's legal right, and always went
through the form of giving its approval
to the money bills. just as the king still
goes through the form of giving the
royal assent to every act of parliament.
Suddenly and almost without warming
the house of lords decided the constitu
ton could be

violating the constitution. The case went
to the country, and although the result
of the election was not clearly decisive.
the government was retained in power
and the lords passed the disputed budget
without further ado
Then the question arose: Has the con-
stitution been changed? Has the house
of lords the constitutional as we'll as the
legal right further to interfere in firan-
cial well as general legislative mat
ters? oh has the house of commons the
right to insist upon the binding force of
the old constitutional theory which had

This is the way it works. Britain &c
the land of compromise. No question is
ever thrashed
Great Britain the out to the
Land of Compromises oo'.om; When
quarrel becomes fierce and heated. both
sides swearing that they never will quit.
some one pops up and says that this
quarrel is detrimental to the interests
of the crown. The interests of the crown
are to be preferred in Britain
above all things And therefore every
body gets together and some kind of a
working agreement is patched up. II
seldom is given the form of legal enact
ment, but merely is a gentleman's agree
ment between opposing political leaders,
and is binding only by virtue of the
Enslishmans sportsmanlike cCnception
of fair play
1t is because of this habit of working
everything into compromise that
Britain gets along as it does. Because
OF tne compromise England retains more
OF medieval feudalism than any other
European country, and at the same time
mas the most successful system of pop-
ular government. Because of the compro-
mise the Church of England exists at
once as a militant and deeply spiritual
o. less corrupt political institution. Be
cause of a spirit of compromise it is
possible for Mr.. Asquith to advocate the
abolition of the power of the house of
lords, while leaving its form intact; and
1t is possible for Mr.. Balfour to advocate
the reform of the house of lords leaving
its spirit unchanged.
The whole history of British politics
is permeated with this spirit of compro-
mise-with this desire to reach a SUBJ
stantial working agreement without very
much regard for forms or ceremonies
England did once decapitate a king, but
it's usual practice has been to leave the
kings head on his shoulders and to take
power away from his elbow. The eX-
pertinent Of ending the Stuart dynasty
by cutting off King Charles head having
proved failure, the next time it seemed
necessary to end that dynasty the king
was taken firmly but gently and set off
his throne, and the job was given to a
more pliable monarch under a contract
which materially cut down the royal
power.

People Take "the Goods"
and Leave the Titles.

ana Leave the Titles. ,o,,,o 1-;,o
ly prerogative or noble privilege, although
never seeming to interfere with royalty
or aristocracy. The people take 1.-The
goods and leave the titles and gilt trap
pings with their former owners
The people in 1882, after a tremendous
struggle in behalf of honesty and decency
in government, forced the unwilling King
William " to sign written promise
giving to the peoples representatives the
right to create a sufficient number of
brand-new peers to form a majority OF
the house of lords and thereby pass the
reform bill.
Having wreSted this power from the
king, any other people but the English
would have exercised it and would have
then and there put an end to the power
of the aristocracy to thwart the will of
the people. But in this supreme hour, as
in every other crisis. there was COM
promise. The Duke of Wellington and his
house of lords, being beaten. passed the
reform bill and the peoples representa-
tiveS did not exercise the right OF mak-
ing several hundred new peers.
Again the people and the peers are ar
raigned against each other and, as in
the time of King William. the final de-
cision may come from the king. who
after ALL is the legal source of all power
in the United Kingdom. Britain was
agitated over the question of whether or
not Mr.. Asquth would demand of King
Edward the right to create wholesale
lot of radical peers as was done in the
revolution of 1892. Very suddenly King
Edward died and George came to the
throne.
Instantly men OF all parties and classes
declared that it would be shame to
embarrass the new king by forcing him
to take decisive action in a constitutional
crisis at the very beginning of his reign
Therefore a truce was made, and, under
the presidency of King George. the lead
ers of the two great political parties en-
tered upon series OF conferences LOOK
ing toward compromise
But, after all. it may be that the new
king will be forced to decide the mo-
mentous issue. The king has more pow
er and more influence than most Ameri-
cans think and the one factor In the
present British crisis about which 1t IS
impossible tic form a definite conclusion Is
that unknown quantity, King George v.
