PARTY LINES.

The outcome of the recent national election in relation to the several par ties involved is the topic which is get ting much consideration and on which a variety of opinions are being given. In many cases the result as expressed in figures is the cause for the ex- pression rather than the facts which led up to the election resulting as it did,
 The republican party is today di- vided into camps" says the Boston Transcript, but it is divided, not on principles, as the Wings were, whose two clements were respectively labeled 'gonscience' and cotton, but by one personality. A part has followed MT. Roosevelt, another part stood by Pres ident Taft. The fact of the division in1presses itself rather over strongly on the popular imagination today. Ev- anyone sees 1t. but everyone does not perceive with equal clearness that the candidate who forced this division has sustained an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the people. The third term has been repudiated by popular vote of more than two to one. Will millions of republicans in 1916 desire to repeat the experiment of seeking to carry the country for a thirdterm candidate? Is it not much more prob able that after four years of democrat ic rule the republicans of the country reflecting that in 1912 only unity was required to give them a sweeping tri- 1mph. will get together under a lead sr whose record and policy invite the lo-operation of all clements of the re- publican party to wrest the control ot the government from the democracy that entered into the White house through the gap?"
 It must not be forgotten that part of the republican party also followed Mr Wilson 10 make sure that botf the third term and Roosevelt would not be successful. They are going tC Tally to the party standard when by foing so 1t means the upholding of the party principles, at a time when the other dangers are not apparent.

cANApA's NAVAL POLICY.

Canada at the present time is wrest- ling with a question of great import ance and one which is causing as great fight as did reciprocity. This Is the matter of the naval policy of the government In relation to provid- ing one or more vessels for the navy of Great Britain. There appears to be a wide diversity of opinion in regard to the issue throughout the many prov inces, It is a matter upon which a brisk fight is expected in parliament for the reason that many believe that such radical move should be submit ted to the people for their opinion thereon instead of being put through by parliament. In view of the fact that it is a new departure it Is liable to have it's effect upon the party lines unless it is incorporated in all the platforms, which seems unlikely.
 If it is not submitted to the vote of the people, it will be through party lines that the expression of the people will be secured. That is likely to cause new party demarcations. Wheth- CT Canada should use her funds to add to the navy of England is the big issue and upon it there should be secured the honest. unbiased judgment of her people, regardless of party affiliations. It is an issue in which patriotism is involved and on which the Canadians from ocean to ocean are anxious to give their judgment just as soon as it becomes their privilege.

THE SUFFRAGE DEMONSTRATION

That was a big demonstration of the women in New York city Saturday tight in celebration of the victory in lehaf of suffrage in four new states lhis month. When Michigan, Kansas, Arizona and Oregon joined the list, it made a total of ten states where suf- frage exists regardless of sex. The leaders in the movement had a right Ro feel elated over their accomplish ments in behalf of the ballot. They made their appeal in proper manner and they can be said to be getting along most encouragingly. That their success is not due to any political par ty movement is noted by the fact that different parties carried these states in the election, which shows that the question was considered on it's merits, as it should be.
 The success of the cause in this country must have a lesson for the English sisters who are using force and less persuasive arguments in the endeavor to secure the same rights as men. It should be evident to them before long that they are on the wrong track and instead of getting nearer the halcyon days of the ballot box for women, for which they are striving, they are simply hurting their cause and putting the ballot so much further of. It has taken many years to secure the ballot in ten states in this country, but the larger number of them has been secured within few years, be- cause of the increased activity along the proper line.

TOUCH OF SILVER.

Touches of silver appear on some of the daintiest of house gowns brought out for early autumn. So slight are these touches, however, that in many instances they fail to inn press themselves definitely at first glance, and the casual observer merely wonders what it is that makes the gown appear different from all other gowns. This because the fine line of silver glints faintly on the sleeves, the bodice front and the side of the skirt where lacings of silk cordage are run through eyelets embroidered with sil- yer. Sometimes these eyelets are lack ing and the silver glints are furnished by the fine rows of a-jours bordering the widely turned over shoulder collar the turned back cuffs, the overlapping edge of skirt or the ends of a girdle and occasionally a round necked yoke of chiffon or malines will display rows upon rows of fine hemstitching, all done with silver threads.

HANDB BAGS.

Morocco has taken a new lease of life so far as handbags are concerned and some of the newest receptacles of that material are inlaid artistically with a smooth, highly polished leather. They come in lovely shades of brown, green or blue, mounted and edged with gilt, German silver CT gun metal. Some of them are of square shape and oth- CTS are oblong, but both sorts have an outside pocket with slant flap, metal outlined, a strap handle, through which the fingers may be slipped, and all of them contain round change purses and a tiny powder puff.
 Ora aphite, pin and real seal as well as pigskin are made into eight-inch envelope bags of a very smart order. These have broad strap handles fasten- ing with buckle which may be run forward or backward to accommodate the size of the hand, a plain slant flap and contain two compartments. One section is fitted with mirror and the tiniest of manicure sets, the other is for the card case and the change purse.

THE SITUATION IN THE EAST.

The onward march of the Bulgarian army. the capture of Salonica, and the impending fall of Adrianople, point di- rectly to the fall of Constantinople and the sending of the Turks from Europe in accordance with the desires of the Balkan allies, which means thereby the elimination of a bad obsta- cle to progress and civilization in southeastern Europe. The declaration of a holy war by the Turks as their last act of cruelty is expected to cause conditions which have been feared throughout the four weeks of war. It is a country where no hesitancy ex- ists 10 peTpetrate the worst kind of cruelties and it is upon the Christian influences at work in that country that this last edict is directed. This government does not plan to take any part in the settlement of the war, un- less requested, but in sending ships to Turkish waters it is acting in the in terests Of the many Americans who are concerned in missionary work and interested In schools and colleges there.
 Turkey is unable 10 stop the prog ress of the Bulgars, and realizes it. What she will be able to do in suing for peace is for the future to decide, but how she can escape without the loss of her possessions in Europe can not bs understood at present. Already the psrtitioning of Turkey is being planned. Turkey henceforth promises 10 be confined to Asia, and several of the Balkan states will gain that for which they have been striving for years, seaports or added possessions in Macedonia and Albania. Not lit tie advice will be given the conquerors whether they like it or not.

TRADE IN TROPICAL GOODS.

This country is steadily increasing it's imports of tropical foodstuffs and manufacturers materials, and the past twelve years shows that this increase amounts to 125 per cent, or jump from 335 million to 750 million dollars worth of supplies. Sugar makes up over a quarter of the amount, while in addition there is a large amount of coffee, fruit nuts, tea, cocoa and spices besides rubber, raw silk, tobacco gums, cork and vegetable oils. Nearly twice as much sugar is now received as in 1900, while India rubber has more than doubled. The amount of coffee has increased but slightly, but it's value had advanced from 52 to 11S million dollars. an increase of over 100 per cent. in value, while the amount in creased but 13 per cent. About s100,- 000.O0O worth of the tropical imports come from contiguous territory of the United States. Among the for eign countries. Brazil is the largest contributor, with Cuba second, Mexico, British India, Straits Settlements, Central America, Egypt and South American countries following.
 It is a noticeable fact that the tropi- cal countries from which we get these supplies are not large buyers of our products. While Brazil sent over a third of her exports here, she takes but 12.S of her imports from this coun- try. India, Egypt and the Dutch East Indies do but little buying here, but Cuba, under a reciprocity agreement, takes over 52 per cent. of her imports from us. The Central American states range from 93 to 68, Mexico gets 54 per cent, Haiti 69, Santo Domingo so, and Porto Rico about 90 per cent. The northern South American countries get from a fifth to a quarter of their goods here

TABLE COVERS.

Extremely effective are the covers for the table in the library or living room made of tapestry, edged with the met al galloon. The shops offer the wool, or wool and silk tapestry in unusually handsome combinations of colors. Some tapestries have the metal threads woven into the designs this being the case especially with the changeable ef- fleets. The cover is cut to fit the top exactly or may be made in the form of a long runner hanging well over the ends or sides of the table; or, in some cases. it is made square, hanging down on all four sides.
 A banding of the galloon finishes the edge and sometimes a second band, paralleling this a few inches from the edge, is used.
 A cover of this sort is not only artis- tic, but has remarkable wearing quail ties.
 It may be said in passing that short lengths of the tapestry are often to be found at much under regulation price Agents samples are especially well adapted to covers of this sort.

CAM ERA APRON.

The camera apron was devised for the convenient carrying of camera par aphernalia on out of door trips. A yard and a quarter of gray denim was uesd. The body of the apron was a straight piece 26 inches long, with 3 strip Il inches deep across the bottom for pockets. The remaining eight inch strip strip of denim was cut into three pockets, two of which were plac- ed above and one as a patch pocket over the middle of the lower row. Tape was used for finishing the raw edges of the three pockets and served also for dividing the Il inch strip into three more pockets. All raw edges were fin ished with wide white tape stitched twice. A facing of thinner cloth was sewed on top, and drawstrings were run through. The pockets held plate holders, focus cloth, chamois skin, rec ord book, etc. One upper pocket was lined with chamois skin for the shut ter with bulb and tubing, which need ed special protection. All pockets clos ed with a snap at the top, and the whole was folded completely when moi in use. For a mans use this might be made without drawstrings at the top, and it could be folded and carried by shawl straps.

MARKETING HINTS.

In buying meat allow one-half pound to each person.
 The fat should be firm, but if hard and skinny it indicates that the animal was old and tough; 1T thin, from a scrawny animal.
 The best veal is usually pale in col or, although that of a deeper color is more juicy. It is well to see that the kidney is inclosed in firm, white fat.
 With beef or mutton, the meat should be deep rose color and the fat a rich cream. For roasting the choice cuts are the sixth, seventh and eighth ribs, the sirloin and porterhouse cuts. Sir loin and short cut porterflouse steaks are best, although the pin steak is pre- fered by many. Round stead is al- most invariably tough. Little veins of fat should run through the meat, and beef intended for steak or roast, when possible, should be kept for week or ten days well protected from the air
 A smooth, thin rind firm to the touch and light in color marks good pork
 Bacon should be white and firm and not too fat, and pink or rosy streak is considered good. A steel sl1ewel driven into ham or bacon should come out free of any meat particles.

RECIPES.

Scotch Griddle Scone-Sift together twice one cupful of flour, one half tea spoon of baking soda, one teaspoon If cream of tartar, pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar. Add a small piece of butter or lard, few chopped rais- ins or caraway seeds, and enough sour milk to make stiff dough. Turn upon a board and work by gentle kneading into a round cake. Flatten 1t with 2 rolling pin and place on a hot griddle. Brown on one side, then turn and brown on the other. If preferred, this scone may be baked in the oven- The raisins, or seeds, or both, may be omit ted.
 Cheese Cream Toast-Stale bread may be used as follows: Toast the slices and cover tht m slightly with grated cheese; make cream for five slices out of half pint of milk and a tablespoon of flour; the milk should be boiling and the four mixed in a little cold water before stirring in. Wher the cream is nicely cooked season with a saltspoon of salt and teaspoon o1 butter. Set the toast and the cheese 1T the oven for four minutes, then poul the cream over them.

HAT ODDITIES.

Milliners are using butterfly bows instead of fat square ones.
 Expensive lowered ribbons in an- tique designs and with picot edges are used on hats in place of flowers.
 Moire ribbons brocaded in velvet have replaced plain moire.
 Bands of these ribbons sometimes form the only trimming upon the small tocues of fur and velvet.
 Fantasy trimmings consist of bands made of different colored china beads
 A fringe formed from loops of these beads outline the little, caplike toques
 Gold brocaded passementeries and the use of appliques of vivid em- broideries in silk, wool, brocade or golt and silver. laid upon fur, are others of the striking novelties.
