Ribbons are to have their day in
the millinery world, too, judging from
the lavish use of them in the new fall
models; for whatever kind Of arrange
ment of trimming, there is usually a
touch of ribbon. A neat ribbon ruche
will extend around the crown of a
smart little hat or a nat bow will be
placed at the base of a feather on
some part of the brim. Other models
have huge bows of ribbon as their
chief adornment.

wish the tassel to be long Gan ordi-
nary postcard makes good-sized tas-
seD; then run a thread of silk I'M
der that wound on the card and tie it
firmly at the top. Now cut the threads
at the other end of the card, running
the scissors along the edge of the
card, so as to be sure to cut straight
Tie all the theads securely a half
inch from the top; then wrap the
thread around and around until you
have formed small head for the
tassel, finished off the thread at the
top by catching it under the other
threads and making loop by which
to attach it to the dress or sash.
To make a round head to the tassel,
take two. rounded button molds, lay
them together with the fiat sides
touching, then cover them with in
muslin. Now run the thread used to
tie the top of the tassel when it is
on the card up through the centre of
these buttons and fasten it with
knot, drawing the silk tassel up close
to it, Cover the buttons with narrow
soutache braid the color of the silk
bv winding it around them from the
lower end of the top, turning in the
ends of the braid under the silk
threads. Form a loop of braid to
fasten the tasSel.
Bead tassels are very pretty. About
half a bunch of beads is required for
one tassel. Gold ones are particularly
lovely, although you can make them
of any color beads you like, or all va
rious colors to correspond with the
colors on your gown. String the beads
on heavy sewing silk that has been
waxed; string three beads, then turn
the thread about over one head and
go back through the other two, and
from there continue stringing until
you have the desired length for the
tassel Count the beads, so that every
strand will be the Same length; tie
them all together at the top, and fin
ish with one large gold bead or with
a small wad of cotton wool wound
around with strands of tiny beads.
Tassels can be made OF fringe
wound around at the top and having
this top covered with braid or small
beads.

BEAUTY

Ma OST important is that the eyes
N should express all the varying
moods of their owner, as it is
expression that keeps the eyes from
growing old. A great many women
who are interested in no one-not
even themselves-have eyes that are
perfectly blank, and consequently not
at all pretty.
What you should do is to think
pleasant and interesting thoughts, as
this will cause your eyes to grow an
mated and bright.
II you are the little maiden who
admlres large eyes and has them not.
instead of repining at your lot train
your eyes to open wide and make them
as brightly expressive as you can. At
trst this will be quite an effort, and
doubtless you will think it a hopeless
one, but as the days glide by you Will
notice with delight that your eyes are
apparently growing larger.
If you think l take too rose colored
view of the situation, Miss Pessi-
mistic, HE you to the glass ard, look
ing intently in it, open your eyes as
wide as you can. Do you see what
difference it makes? You do? Then
if the eyes can be made to look larger
by minutes effort, just hink what
will be the result if you resoIutely
continue this effort several weeks.

eulpable.
If Mr.. Roosevelt were not celebrated
for the accuracy of his statements

words, we should almost be inclined
to say that he is illogical. Bosses who
want to lose and bosses who want to
win have at least one thing in COM

We suppose that about 100000
American voters are similarly inclin-

ions of whom make the days and
nights hideous at Oyster Bay, must
be very large.
With bosses to the right of him and
bosses to the left of him, unapprecia-
tive and hostile, the big boss, the true
boss, proceeds merrily to nominate
himself to name his own running
mate, to write his own platform, to
bedevil his followers with his selfish
and contradictory mandates and to set
up his own cash register at the door
of his own convention.
This boss has no delusion about
winning. He knows that he cannot
win. For ruthless ambition, in part
but principally to feed a passion fo1
revenge, he is willing to wreck his
party and destroy the political future
of his dupes. He is the first boss Of
the kind since Aaron Burr.

New York, April 21.-Two wireless
messages addressed to j. Bruce Ismay.
president OF the International Mer-
camille Marine company, were receiv-
ed today at the Offices Of the White
Star line from cable ship Mackay-
Bennett via Cape Race, one of which
reported that the steamship Rhein
had sighted bodies near the scene Of
the Titanic wreck. The first mes
sage, which was dated April 20. read:
Steamer Rhein reports passing
wreckage and bodies 42.1 north; 4s.12
west; eight miles west Of three big
icebergs. Now making for that posi-
ton. Expect to arrive at O'Clock to-
night.

The second message reads:
Received further information
from Bremen presumably steamship

p. m. Start on operations tomorrow.
Have been considerably delayed on
passage by dense fog. = = -
(Signed) "Mackay- Bennett"
Before his departure for Washing
ton Mr.. Ismay, after reading the two
messages, said:
THE cable ship Mackay- Bennett
has been chartered by the White Star
line and ordered to proceed to the
scene Of the disaster and do all she
can to recover bodies and obtain all
information possible.
Every effort will be made to iden-
tify bodies recovered and any news
will be sent through Immediately by
wireless. In addition. to such mes
sages, the Bennett will make full
report Of its work by wireless and
such reports will be made public at
the Offices Of the White Star line.
"The cable ship has orders to re-
main on the scene Of the wreck for
at least a week but should a large
number Of bodies be recovered before
that time she will return to Halifax
with them. The search for bodies will
not be Abandoned until not a vestage
OF hope remains for any more recov-
cries.
THE Mackay- Bennett will not make
any soundings as they would not
serve any useful purpose because the
depth where the Titanic sank is more
than 1000 fathoms."
