the Democrats in the extra

April 4 to consider the Canadian

time. The country desires rest
from agitation much more than
it seeks relief through congress-

initiate a great tariff war thus
disturbing business at this time,
the Democrats will blight their
chances of sending a president
to the White House next year.

Pretty Metal Gifts.

Making with her own fingers all the

presents from silver is the pastime of

She began most modestly last winter.

A BIRTHDAY PARTY
FOR YOUNG GIRL

Decidedly charming was an impromptu
birthday party given this week by a
young girl to another who was her house
guest The girl whose birthday fell at
that time is an orphan, and, without
thinking, told her young hostess that in
all the sixteen years of her life she had
never had a birthday cake That was
enough for the young hostess, herself the
soul of hospitality. and who has had a
birthday cake every year, without fail.
1t was the day before her festival that
the young guest thoughtlessly told what
the approaching day was, being decidedly
embarrassed when she realized what she
had done. But nothing was said to her
Of the plans forming in her friends mind,
and the surprise the next morning was
one in fact.
When the maid raped at her door at
o'clock, and the girl opened it, she saw
no one. But on the sill was a soft, round
straw mat of pale green. folded over and
tied with a huge bow Of green silk rib
the freshest of garden flowers, and on
The top was card reading. For your
very happiest birthday
On going down to the informal break
fast room she found the other guests, of
whom there were seven, awaiting her.
and the young hostess mother was also
there. a most rare and highly compli-
mentary appearance. The girl was led
20 her own seat, and, there, piled high
on the table, were ribbon-tied white It's
sue paper parcels of various sizes, which,
with a magnificent flourish, the hostess
said the fairy godmOther had brought
while the girl slept.
In point of fact each girl had provided
something. and that the recipient might
not feel embarrassed at these gifts, which
came, some of them, from comparative
strangers. all were simple. In one parcel
was a white suede belt: another held an
embroidered linen purse. In still another
was gray silk bag, which the girl has
since used for soiled linen when away on
visits. An address book was in another
parcel and a handkerchief was brought
from still another
No names accompanied the gifts, for
they were all giving her the birthday,
they said. and each had an equal share.
Dinner that night took on party as
hood were invited in. And. browning joy
of all. at the end of dinner a real birth
day cake was brought to the table and
placed before the girl.
The cook had exerted herself and made
a most elaborate affair, and burning
around it brightly were sixteen small
pink candles, with one large one the
candle of life burning in the very
center. Each guest blew out one of the
small lights. making wish for the girl
as she did so. and at the last the candle
of life alone remained. That, with a
spoken wish of all good things for her
daughters friend. was taken up and
blown out by the hostess mother and

Wave Braid Trimming.

1t is getting about time now to think
of winter clothes, especially the under
garments. Dresses and other apparel
must wait little longer still, because
one can never tell just what will happen
In the fashions at. the last moment, and
to get a tight hobble skirt when full
plated skirts are in vogue is fatal to a
woman's peace of mind. But lingerie may
safely be prepared somewhat In advance,
and when that important question is set
tied there is more time to give attention
to other things 1t would almost seem
that the pettcoat has gone out of style
in this day when the talk is all of silk
boomers and harem skirts. but there are
still a few feminine women who cling
to the old ideas and revel in ruffles and
pretty white things This suggestion is
for the latter. and it is all about rickrack,
plain. everyday. commonplace rickrack
1t is wonderful what pretty trimming
deft fingers can make of 1t, and it is so
satisfactory and inexpensive. 1t comes
about twelve or fifteen yards in bolt
and costs from ID to 30 cents, so the
wise young girl or matron who plans
her wardrobe carefully can utilize this
instead of buying yards and yards of
more expensive laces and still accomplish
the same results.
For the winter the thin. fine laces are
scarcely practical for clothes get SO
black in a city with the combination of
smoke and dirt which cannot be avoided
and necessarily must be washed so hard
that they soon wear out. Trimming made
of rickrack is much more durable and
will stand hard usage. There are various
patterns in it. some pointed and fine,
some with large waves. The former
makes the prettier trimming. 1t can be
used plain simply stitched around the
bottom of a skirt or the armholes and
neck of a corset cover, and if stitched
close TO the edge, leaving an openwork
between the edge of the material and the
body of the trimming. it is very effective.
Then it can be combined by catching
together with fine thread the points, MAX
ing any number or rows desired. This
can be used for beading, and with white
or colored ribbon run through is very
dainty. Then. if something fancier still
is wanted, an edge of lace may be
crocheted onto the rickrack by any one
who Is able to use a crochet needle even
if only simple stitches are familiar.
Either cotton or linen thread may be used
according to the rickrack. The following
pattern makes a very good looking edge:
A stitch into the edge of the braid two
or four chain stitches Topped back into
that, another stitch into the edge and so
on around. A more elaborate pattern can
easily be worked on, and with the firm
foundation which the rickrack gives will
last for many a day. For dust ruffies it
is very SerViceable,

Irish Lace Popular.

Did you ever see so much baby Irish
and Irish crochet? 1t is being used in
every available place these days, and in
every possible design. OF course, it has
always been worn to certain extent, but
never before so much as now, and my,
how much it costs
The only" recourse for one who wants
these pretty things and who has not an
unlimited expense account is to learn to
make them herself. 1t is not so very
hard, and is fascinating work in itself.
Collars and cuffs of this beautiful lace
are seen, frills, sailor collars. yokes, me-
dal!ions. belts and dozens of other things.
Most important Of all, however. are the
wrist bags. They are used in all sizes.
from a small coin receptacle to a large
shopping bag. 1t has almost come to the
point where one can tell the size of a

Lunch Suggestions.

Although this lunch Is dainty enough
to tempt the most capricious appetite.
yet it is sufficiently satisfying to serve
as the only meal between breakfast and
dinner. Hard boil as many eggs as are
necessary. allowing two eggs for each
plate required. When cool enough to
handle remove the shells and carefully
cut each egg in half lengthwise
Crumble ali the yolks in bowl, add
salt pepper. paprika, mustard to taste,
and finely chopped cold ham or veal in
the proportion of about a teaspoonful
for each egg. Mix well. Then moisten
with lemon juice and olive oil In propor-
ton to suit the taste. adding enough
liquid to make very soft, smooth paste.
Replace this mixture in the empty WHITES
and arrange four halves around lettuce

being careful in cutting these that each
piece of radish shows some of the bright
red outside Around the outside of plate,
between the halves OF egg, put more
radishes, cut in larger pieces than those
used in the center. Then put the plates
n the Ice box until the sandwiches are
prepared.
Make these of thinly sliced white bread
spread with butter and cheese. While
any kind of cheese will make tasty sand

better to crate 1t and then sprinkle it

slice it. When the sandwiches are ready

he ice box and over the center of each
pour some mayonnaise dressing.
Coffee or light beer, depending upon
ones preferences and convictions, is the
drink to be served. And the salad is so
satisfying that few will feel the need of
4 sweeter course to follow.
If one has the mayonnaise dressing
ready, this lunch can be prepared very
quickly by systematizing the work to be
done. If one has no mayonnaise the
salad will be just as delicious If the celery
and radishes are marinated in French
dressing while the eggs and sandwiches
are being prepared. The French dressing
then should be passed around the table

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

I have hsen thinking today of the I'M
dercurrents.
+ No. l do not mean the undercurrent at
the seashore that endangers SO many
lives.
But 1 do mean a dangerous undercur-
rent just the same.
The undercurrent of thought is what
l refer to.
You are seated at your desk attending
to some task. Theoretically, all your
thoughts are upon your work Actually,
only your top thoughts are with your
task. For all the time there is steady
undercurrent Of thought of other matters
going on in your mind.
+ Sometimes the undercurrent consists of
a review of work done; sometimes it re-
lates to the good time you are going to
have tomorrow; often 1t is bordering
upon your next seasons wardrobe; again
it is concerned with something that is
going on outside the window. In my
own case, l find it is most frequently
cogitation upon what l am going to do
next.
If you think that only volatile and
light-minded people thus divide their
thoughts. please observe yourself the next
time you sit down to some task If you
cannot discover any undercurrent in
your mind, you may consider yourself
quite above the class for which l write
Lincolns frends-the average folks.
Now, perhaps. you want an eXplana-
ton of my description of the undercur-
rent of thought as dangerous. Perhaps
you are asking, What harm can 1t do
if 1 do have an undercurrent Of thought?
What objection is there to my thinking of
two things at once If l can? What is
| there dangerous about it,"
The danger, my friend, is simply to
your capacity to do the best work Of
which you are capable, and to do it in
| the least possible time.
That undertow carries something out to
| sea. just as surely as the ocean under
tow does. And that something Is your
concentration.
| To be sure, there is no harm in your
| thinking of the work you have done, or
| the work you are going to do, or Of to-
| wardrobe. They are innocent. or even
| praiseworthy subjects for thought, eX-
cept when they are thieves. And in this
| case that is what they are, since they
steal your thoughts from the subject to
which they belong.
| If the volume of thought which goes
| into that undercurrent could be COM
bined with the volume of thought which
| Is upon your work. don't you see how
much more swiftly and correctly and
| thoroughly your work would be done?
| OF course, it is not the easiest thing in
| the world to control this undercurrent.
But 1 believe it can be done. 1 believe
| that If you scold yourself severely every
| time you find that undertow growing
powerful, and try with your whole might
| to bring all your thoughts to bear on
| what you are doing, you can at least di-
minish the power and volume of the
| thought undertow.
| Here's wishing you good luck if you
| care to try.
Please wish me the same

White is to he very fashionah BILE in mill

miliners have laid in unusual stocks of
white felts and beavers, as well as white
wings of all descriptions for later in the
season.
In the most approved couture the ears
are concealed and the lower. the hair
comes over them the. better. The wide
band which has so long reigned supreme
is now being superseded by the narrow
ones.
Many new skirts are noticeably wider
In soft materials instead of the single
wide pleat or tab of last season two or
three narrow box pleats appear-the
pleats about three inches wide.
