Special Correspondence OF The Star
LONDON. December ), 1912.
NONT be surprised. the next time you
come to London, if you find the
haunts of masculinity over here
filled with men busily engaged in knit
ting. croeheting or doing other forms OF
needlework. The male knitter is surely
coming in England, fer royalty has shown
the way. and whittier royalty leads the
rest OF the population of these islands
follows as unquestionably the lamb
followed Mary.
1t has just become known that the five
sons of the king and queen. the eldest
of whom, the Prince of Wales. is now
eighteen, and the youngest, Prince John.
is seven, all are experts at knitting and
crocheting. This week the London Nee
dlework Guild. an aristocratic organiza-
ton which provides clothing for the poor,
and of which the queen is one of the
prime movers. held an exhibition. and
among the other articles on view were
knitted scarfs which those who viewed
them learned with awe had been fabrl-
Gated by the royal hands of no less
person than Prince George, the fourth
son of their majesties. who has now at
tanned the ripe age of ten.
These three ScarfS We're done In sage
green, or exactly the same color as the
surface of a billiard table. and were or
namented at the ends with bright red
tassels, precisely We're the ones that
YOU wore around your neck when you
sailed forth a youngster to engage IN
a SNOWFALL fight TO slide belly
whacker'' down the biggest hill i'm the
neighhorhood. They We're pretty decent
scarfs to have been knitted by little
boy of ten and keen discussion was
aroused among the entranced danes who
lowered over them as to whether they
were done with ordinary bone knitting
needles or with wooden frame ana
pegs, or how?
The consensus of opinion was in favor
of the frames, nobody apparently beinS
struck with the absurdity of encouraging
a boy. particularly prince of the blood
royal to spend his time in as essentially
a feminine occupation as knitting. 1t
seems, however. to have been the per
sistent policy of the queen to -mollycod-
die her sons. SO it is no surprise to
learn that the whole lot of them. even
down to little Prince John, are handy
with their respective needles. For all
one knows the heir to the throne him
self may occasionally besuile the tediun
of his carefully regulated life at Ok
ford University by knitting himself Il
new necktie or doing bit of embroidery
work.

Christmas RemembranceS
Made in a Few Minutes

MO matter how well We plan our Christ
~ mas campaign. there will always be
some gifts that will either have to be
made or bough: at the eleventh hour.
These are not to our intimate friends, but
to persons whom we simply wish to send
q Christmas greeting In the form of an
inexpensive gift.
Dainty sachets are very appropriate for
such gifts. One in the form of a pansy
10 easily made. Satin ribbon one and a
quarter inches wide and of appropriate
color should be used. Cut two pieces
each two and half inches long. and
gather each across half way from the
end, drawing and gathering the thread
not too tight. Cut another piece four
inches long and turn up one-third of its
length TO make a small sachet bag. Close
the sides and stun the pocket with cot
ton and sachet powder. Gather the open
part Of the bag and turn II back to form
the lower petal of the flower Round the
ends Of the ribbon and make yellow
heart with silk in French knots. These
sachets may be made In various pansy
colors- II you I'LL with a powder of iris

A pretty sachet is made by knitting two
pineapple hearts of silk. laced with rib

contains a fayorite sachet. Sandalwood

It retains its dainty fragrance for a long

PARCELS POST.
Some Rsasons Why We % Not Have
Parcels Post. A Few Reasons
Why We Should.

The country merchants are putting
up the same old plea against estab-
fishing the parcels post system in
this country. They fear the farmers
will send their orders for goods else
where and have shipments made by
mail. These same merchants fought
; the rural mail delivery and some fear
| that farmers would not come to town
but would hibernate during the long
| winters and live on what they made
in summer. 1t would then not be nee
essary to have any conveyance other
than lumber wagons and one suit of
! clothes would last for years and the
! country stores would wither and die
and blow away and dog fennsl and
poison vines would cover the streets
and buildings.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-09-05
rom the state Republican platform OF

From the state Republican platform Of
1912.
In adopting this plank, the Republican
party of the state has committed itself
to a proposition that it hopes will en-.
courage the investment of Vermont mon.
ey in Vermont and lead to the borrow
ing of money by deserving young people
to enable them to begin successful bust
ness enterprises within their native state
The purpose of this recommendation
must commend itself to every person
and it is one Of the positive policies OF
the party in this campaign.
The necessary changes in the law
must include a uniform rate of taxation
throughout the state on money loaned
no matter in what town the Ioaner or
borrower may reside. Otherwise there
would be but few towns in which the in
dividual could loan money and receive a
reasonable income from his money, even
if loaned at the highest legal rate, six
per cent. If this rate was made the
same as the present rate paid by saw
ings banks, seven-tenths OF one per cent,
the individual could loan his money for
five per cent. interest and have it net
him three tenths OF one per cent. more
than he now receives from the bank. II
the law was changed so that money
loaned on Vermont securities at a rate
of interest not exceeding four and one
half per cent. should be exempt from all
taxation, the net income on money
loaned would be one-half OF one per
cent. better than the banks can pay and
would guarantee the borrowers the ulti-
mate benefit of the lowered rate.
Vermonters have money to loan, and
they would loan it to build up home
industries if they could do so as advan-
as elsewhere. Some idea of
the money Vermonters have to loan is
shown by the report of the state bank
for 1911, which says there
are 1850 residents Of the state that
have s26725,2ll.73 deposited in Yer
mont savings banks and trust companies.
There is of course much more invested
