SAsHES RETURN TO FAVOR
Pretty Whim That Has Much to Rec
ommend II Once More Strictly
en- Regle.

The revival OF the directoire fash
ions marks the return OF the inevita.
BILE sash.
This Is welcome fact to most wo-
men, who realize what an improve
ment sashes are TO any frock.
Black velvet or satin is a favored
material for the directoire sash-girdle.
These are not difficult to make and
are inexpensive If fashioned at home.
1t requires three yards of threeinch
ribbon velvet. Three-fourths Of a yard
forms the waist belt. To this attach
three hooks and eyes to fasten at the
side.
The longer sash end should be cut
one and one-quarter yards and the
shorter one yard long. The ends are
bordered with deep silk fringe.
If black satin is used, II requires
one and one-half yards. Cut the strips
bias, the desired width of the sash.
Form the waist belt of soft folds.
The ends are effective IL embroidered
either In black or colors. If the lat.
ter are preferred, select In Arabian de-
sign.
The ends may be rounded or dag
onal. Sashes of wide ribbon require
very little time to make. 1t requires
three-fourths of yard for the waist
belt and the balance for the ends.
Finish at the left side with a wreath
OF tiny flowers and foliage fashioned
or ribbon. The ends are adorned In
the same manner.

SMALL TOUCHES THAT COUNT
Little Ideas for seautifyIng the House
That Will Be Found Useful
TO Remember.

After the spring cleaning is over
comes the time to add those little
baautifying touches which always give
an air of "spick and spanness" to the
home.
Good taste at present leans toward
wall paper with little or no pattern.
Striped papers, however, are not
frowned upon by the artistic Plain
papers produce n much more effective
background for pretty furniture.
White or cream tints make an admir-
able covering for the drawing room
walls.
Paintings look well upon II. A car
pet OF moss green or pale mauve is
attractive II Persian rugs are not used.
Cover the chairs with cretonne or old.
fashioned chintz.
When having sepia-coored photo
graphs framed, n narrow ebony or
brown molding will enhance the beau
ty of the picture.
The narrow line of black upon the
wall Is charming, if in the living
room or the dainty pink or blue bed
room.
Your summer dTaperies should be
sheer and cool looking. A great vari-
ETY. of materials are suitable for this
purpose, and range from high to low
prices.
In summer the entire house should
speak OF GOODNESS and comfort. Pack
away all unnecessary articles of brio
a-brac to spare the extra work of
caring for them during the dusty
weather.
II you decide to store the large rugs
or carpets and use small ones, the
floors should be well vanished and
oiled, that they may be easily taken
care of during the summer.

CHlNA'S PARTIES COALESCE

NJ" little of the inefficirncv of the recently
created republic Of China must be attributed to
excessive factOnaiSIn Of partiZanS and natural
leaders during the first crucial months of the
new epoch says an exchange. 1t has contributed
to the difficulties Of Yuan Shih kai as president
in his dealings with cabinet and council and it
has divided the nation when the nation most
needed to be united in a firm and consistent for
eign policy. Still the situation CAUSED by this
rivalry might have been far worse, and would
have had it had any support from the very
ableSt of the convinced Republicans and Liber-
ais Fortunately as the time draws near when
the provisional government must give way. to a
permanent one, and the first elections be held
under the restricted franchise, a better temper
characterizes the people, The factions are draw
ing together so that the natural and distinct
alignment of two strong parties bids fair to be
accomplished ut a not distant date.
If the grouping of the natiOnalists is perfect
ed, the Kuo Min Tang party, led by DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, will represent the more democratic and de-
centralized ideal of government, with emphasis
on the autonomy Of the provinces and power at
Picking reduced to a minimum. Over against
this company will be the Kung Hy Tang party,
led by Gen. LII Yuan-hung,. which is for centrali-
zation of power at the capital and for emphasis
Oh national rather than provincial. rights and
power. Round about these larger groups will
stand the smaller, which are ultra-conservatiEe
and radical; but the shaping of national history
will rest with the major conbatants.
The brief but revealing experience that Yuan
Shih Kai and successive prime ministers already
have had with coalition ministries makes it clear
that the sooner the line of demarcation is clean
cut the better; and the sooner responsible par
ty government comes the steader will be the
process of national evolution.

Movement of Great Importance,
Speaking in regard to the Men and

the following statement this morning:

time ago, the request come to Fred
E. Smith, VINO is the leader of reli-
gious work in the National Associa-

the message and the method of the
movement, and he decided, in com

International Quartet, to give the first
six months of 1918 to a world tour.

tres, Australia and South Africa,

chance to hear ktwo of the strongest

Origin of Work.
"The origin of this movement came
about in a remarkable way. Mr.
Smith convened a meeting of the
mems religious organizations in North
America in regard to a great forward
movement for men and boys. When
the gathering met it was discovered
that no less than three Of these move

with unanimous approval and for two
