The event was celebrated with great So

knees and prayed. Then he rose to his feet and
threw the dice with such force that one of them

HAT PIN OF SEALING WAX
Very Little Skill REQUIRED to Turn
Out Article at Once Pretty
and Useful.

wonderfully pretty hat pins can be
made out Of plain, ordinary sealing
wax. and they require very little skill
in the making. A plain hat pin is
taken and knob formed on 1t of red
sealing wax, which has been found to
make the best foundation. When the
Knob has become thoroughly hard IL
IS covered VIII as thick a layer OF
wax as desire7, according to the size
thatsis preferred for the hat pin, this
layer being, Of course, the color OF
the hat for which the pin is intended.
Round. square, fiat, oblong and. in
fact all sizes and shapes imaginable
are to be seen in the fashionable hat
pins Of the moment, so that the maker
is given a wide range Of ingenuity
10 obtain the required shape the wax
must be worked and nodded with the
fingers while in a half molten state.
but care must be taken not to try to
work 1t too soon, for nothing burns
more cruelty than boiling wax. As
soon as the wax is near enough the
desired shape It should be plunged
into cold water to harden. When quite
hard another application of a different
colored wax may be given. This last
may be put on I'm streaks or circles. to
give the effect OF a definite design.
Two shades Of blue, for example. used
In this way will be most effective

With a little practice numIerIess
different designs can be worked out
and soon, with just a little skili, a girl
can provide herself with prc'ty set
of smart pins for each and evcty hat.
and all these for the small cost of a
few long pins and a box of sealing

 The Digges registration bills and the constitutional amendment are at war with the fifteenth amendment. which is, as fol- lows: 'eThe right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of race. color. or previous condition of seryitude.'
 Tie contention in Maryland is that the fifteenth amendment applies to federal elections only-that it has no relation whatever to state and municipal elections. The Digges bills are expressly confined to state elections, leaving elections for congressman and electors on the old basis.
 If the United States supreme court should say that the fifteenth amendment covers all elections, state as well as fed eral. and the Maryland courts should declare directly to the contrary. an issue would at last arise between a state and the general government over the fifteenth amendment, and it is difficult to see how the government could enforce it's side of the issue.
