PolNcARE's FINANCIAL SACRIFICE.
Perhaps the greatest tribute to Poin-
cares sense Of honor and to the patriot
ism which has caused him to abandon
his lucrative practice OF law for the rel
atively meagre pay of French cabinet
Ministcr-aDout $4,000 a year-is to be
found IN the fact that former premiers
of such Importance as BRAND and as
Bourgeois should have consented TO
serve under him, while the overwhelm-

Der Of Deputies gave expression TO It's

INSPIRES ABSOLUTE rAlTH.

Poincare is one Of the very few prom
inent French republicans who went
through the Panama crisis absolutely
unscathed: and in the Dreyfus matter,
while refraining from expressing HIM
self as to the innocence or guilt of the
now almost forgotten captive OF Devil s
Island. he did not hesitate, both in pup
lie and in private, to insist upon the fact
that the major did not have a fair trial
and that grossly irregular and even
fraudulent means were adopted TO effect
his condemnation. Incidentally, it may
be said that this is the attitude of many
thoughtful people in France.
In one word, Poincare's integrity in
public and private life, the absolute cor
reetness-the French love TO call 1T the
"eorrectiOn"-Of his dealings in every
thing, have inspired his countrymen' I
all shades of political opinion with a

WHEN FROCKS ARE
TUCKED AND TRIM
MED WITH BANDS

There are a great many times when the
most perfectly done machine tucking r.
out OF place on a garment and the tucks
must be put in by hand to achieve the
desired result Take, for instance. ba-
bies' dresses made of fine handkerchief
linen. and II is not difiscult to imagine
that any but hand tucks would be sadly
out Of place used as q decoration in the
yoke or above the hem around the bottom
OF the skirt The same can be said In
the case OF fine lingerie, or, indeed, any
really fine work.
One important thing in tucking II TO
make the right start. The material must
be pressed perfectly smooth and pulled
into shape, 80 that the warp and wool
threads run straight across up and
down.
Mark width of TucIzs.
The next thing is to have something to
mark the width OF each tuck as well as
the space between. Thin cardboard
about the weight of calling card is all
right. and the width Of the tuck and the
space between the tucks should be
marked with a pencil or the card clipped
at these points.
Let the work rest on a lapboard or
table, and in using the card be sure to
keep the edge OF it on or parallel to the
straight edge of the cloth. Where the
marker is held on even a little slant one
does not get the desired measure.
The line for the folded edge Of the tuck
can be traced with a wheel or creased
between the fingers, and then an easy
way to mark the width of the tuck is to
set the gauge on the machine, unthread
the machine, and run the material
through IT, keeping the folded edge so II
just touches the gauge all the way. You
will not only have the width evenly
marked. but you will have a guide for
your stitches in the marks made by the
needle.
Use needle and thread suitable to the
material you are working on and start
either by making q small knot and letting
II come on the wrong side, or else take
several tiny stitches one over the other.
The running stitch is the one used, and
Il should not be difficult to make perfect
looking tucks where the marking has
been so accurately done.
Where dresses are trimmed with bands
made from the same or some contrasting
material they should always be cut on a
true bias Then II they are to be set on
straight around, or up and down, it is an
easy matter to put them on straight by
measuring. First, though. they must be
turned in evenly on both edges and
smoothly pressed 1nese pids lenBtns are
easily stretched and have to be carefully
handled in consequence.
Must Be Closely Basted.
In applying them to the garment It is a
good plan to have small-sized pins and
use these to hold them in place while
basting. A bias band must be basted
close to both edges before stitching down.
Where a fold or wide bias band is to be
set around or near the bottom Of skirt
Il is necessary to stretch the lower edge
slightly to make it sit smoothly around
the skirt edge.
These bands are usually turned up once
around the edge which is to be the lower
one and stitched a little UP from the
edge. Then the band is pinned in place
around the bottom and then at the top
before basting and stitching at the top.
