ends of which make a bow to fasten the
sacQue. Narrow ribbons tie the under
arm seams and the under sleeve seams
together.
A baby pillow Is always a welcome gift.
|and this pillow should be rather small
about nine by twelve inches-and filled
with down. The pillow itself should be
made of white muslin and the dainty
tons and buttonholes. so that 1t may be
removed for frequent launderings. The
embroidery, of course. should be ex-
quisitively fine and should be preferably
at the edges and on the corners Of the
slip. so that the little face pressed against
the pillow may not be scratched. Three
inch squares of sheer lawn, connected by
lines of German val lace insertion. set In
horizontally and vertically. make a
pretty pillow cover and in the center OF
each square there may be embroidered q
small spray of forget-me-nots or violets-
all in pure white. of course.
A coverlet to match the pillow will
make charming gift and one that will
be much appreciated by the little mother.
The coverlet should be made of the same
sheer white lawn. but the embroidery
may be more elaborate than that on the
pillow, and the ruffie around the edge
Will be deeper. The baby's monogram In
letters three inches long may be worked
be three small initials set in a medallion
OF flowers. Through slits buttonholded at
the bottom of the cover should be run
satin ribbon, big bow being tied I'm one
corner.
The baby's bassinette is usually made
by the mother herself. who loves to drape
the dainty lace-trimmed friIls over the
couch that is going to hold her priceless
treasure. very pretty bassinette is il
iustrated. and such bed can readily be
made by loving mother fingers over the
light wicker framework which forms the
foundation. The basket top of the frame
work Is lined with soft silk quilted over
layers or cotton. and the outside Is TRIM
ined with white net on which are sewed
insertions of inexpensive lace. The hood
is made of net and silk shirred over light
reeds. and the whole bassinette Is trim
med with big ribbon bows-blue for a
boy. according to the old tradition. and
pink for girl.
The creeping rug illustrated will be
adored by the six or eight months old
Daby just beginning to find how many in
Ieresting things there are In the world.

nainsook, with pretty imitation val frills
at neck and wrists; but always they are
exquisitely soft and simple, with hand
stitches. touches of dainty featherstitch-
ing and hemstitching. and the tiniest or
lace buttons with little buttonholes beau
tifully worked. More elaborate frocks Tor
occasions are made of Paris muslin and
pin-dotted Swiss, with insertings of real
lace and sprays of fine hand embroidery.
The sleeves are set in with fine seam
headings, and the deep hem on the bot
tom of the skirt is featherstitched or
hemstitched.
1t is wise to make the little dresses in
roomy size, a three-month pattern being
selected even for the layette. There is no
telling how big his babyship will be and
II Is pity to have to discard the care
fully made dresses because they simply
will not go on over chubby arms and
shoulders. III made in a little larger size
tiny tucks may be set In at armholes and
wrists. and there may be a bobbin tape
run, through tiny casing in the neck.
When baby has grown bit it will be a
very simple matter to let out the little
tucks and enlarge the dress or slip.
Such trifies as bootees. bibs. fancy
sacques and the like are usually furnish
ed in plenty By adoring friends and rela-
tives. The shops are full of these little
belongings. both made up and in pattern
form. with pretty designs stamped for
hand embroidering. and the list includes
everything needed for baby's comfort ex-
cept the most practical garments.
Kimono sacques. or nightingales. as
they are sometimes called, are very easy
to make and no one need be afraid that
the young mother will be presented with
too many of these little sacques. They
soon become soiled and lose their dainti-
ness after being washed: yet the baby
must always be provided with a stock of
fresh little jackets to slip on when pre-
sented to visitors. Thin albatross laid
over colored silk and embroidered with
blue forget-me-nots or faint pink rose
buds matching the silken lining, makes a
charming sacQue, or plain white or col
ored albatross or cashmere may be seal
Hoped and embroidered and used without
the lining slip.

On Ohio Situation.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. July 24.-News that

ticket yielded no comment today by Theo-

Two other men in whome Col. Roosevelt

mentioned for the nomination. They are
James r. Garfield, his close friend, who
was his secretary of the interior, and his
son-in-law, Representative Nicholas
Longworth.
When they last met, Col. Roosevelt let
it be seen that his warm personal regard
for Mr.. Garfield had not been affected by
the latter's attitude toward the Taft ad-
ministration, but he is unwilling to ex-
press any opinion. under present circum-
stances, as to Mr. Garfield's stand in
Ohio politics. He frankly admits his deep
interest in the situation there and his
hope that. the progressives will control
the state convention this week. or at
least have influence enough to shape the
state party platform, but he will let no
further statement be drawn from him.
AS to Rep. Longworth, the coloney has
always been reticent about his own fam

THE COTTON PROBLEM.
How to Get Around Recent Decision
Of London Bankers.

New Orleans, La, July 24.-With the
harvesting of the South's cotton' al
ready begun in the earlier sectiohs
and the time fast approaching wnen
the crop will begin to move IN even

bankers and business men are now
hard at work on the problem present
ed them by the recent decision OF Eon-
don bankers, in connection with COTTON
hills Of tading, that. beginning m NO
weber. American cotton bills Of fading
shall be negotiable only when they are
BY an American banking
institution.
This action grew out of the frands
alleged to have been %cperpetfnted
through forged bills Of. lading and
Southern cotton men realize that COM
,nerc;a, consequences OF vast import
ance will follow the stand taken ny
the English bankers. They say fthat
in the event American banks refused
70 guarantee cotton bills of lading, the
cotton business of the South WQulo De
thrown Immediately upon a casn OASIS
and that this would mean Qrain OF
millions Of dollars from the monerary
centers 6f the country. T.
One of the many plans suggested as
q solution of the serious probiem Is
that the railroads which are the nrst
to receive the cotton, guarantee tne
hi,f. Of lading to the American hanks.
which in turn. shall guarantee .enam'
r. tf,e banks abroad. In regard TO this
an important conference OF leadine
cotton men win be held in New Or
leans within the next week or 10 days.
