form little. flowers or conventional
forms. is easily applied on these square
meshes. This method of decoration is
most effective when two or three Diff
ferent colors are combined to give the
effect OF the German embroidery or old
time samplers.
French dots are another effective
way to decorate the spring and sum-
mer blouses- They wash easily and
are readily made by the amateur An
other idea on the same line is the max
ing of loops of colored thread. Both
French knots and the loops can be
grouped to I'LL spaces that are out
lined to represent petals of large flow
ers. This effect. that. after all is an
| imitation of beadwork. leads us to the
mode of decoration that promises to be
| more popular than ever during the
coming seasons. Wash beads are used,
and the designs are worked out in
| Japanese, French and Bulgarian en-
| broidery. The combination of bead
work with lace, motifs is very pro-
nounced.
| Scarfs are more popular than ever
| and semi-transparent coats and wraps
claiming close kinship with the scarfs
of chiffon and lace are being shown in
many attractive forms Scarfs for use
with evening and house frocks are
decorated with bead embroideries and
in the shops exquisite things are
i shown in chiffon and in tulle with in
tricate bead embroidery finishing the
ends deeply and perhaps continuing In
q border along the sides. The effects
| obtained are often charming and the
weight given by the beads drags the
| scarf down into the clinging lines fav.
ored by many women.

SILENCE THAT SPEAKS.

Rear Admiral Schley, now dead
and greatly honored, was at the
height of his very distinguished ca
reer dishonored as few Americans
have been. Those in the military
and naval service who resented the
injustice done him, like Gen. Miles
and Admiral Dewey, were also af-
fronted to their faces and in many
ways made to feel the insolence of
office.
All of these men were Democrats.
1t was their misfortune that after
their brilliant public service was prac-
tically closed there came to the presi-
dency by accident Colonel of a cow
boy regiment who proceeded to APP
propriate to himself and his associates
most of the glories of little war in
which the favored cowboys and their
Colonel actually played an insignifi-
cant part. To make heroes of Wood
and Roosevelt it became necessary to
destroy or belittle Schley, Miles and
Dewey.
In all the history of the presidency
there is no record of a more shame
full proceeding than that in which
Theodore Roosevelt, to bolster up
the false glamour Of his own trifling
performances as a soldier, sought
with the aid of his mighty office to
convict Schley of treason and cow
ardice. He did not do this in manly
fashion. He did it by insinuation and
innuendo, coupled with Characteristic
bluster. When Miles and Dewey
protested he heaped humiliation and
insult upon them.
We have had something like this in
comic opera. On the stage ships
cooks sometimes become Kings.
Travelling statesmen may marry the
Emperior's daughter and 90 come to
the throne. Shipwrecked sailors
