WORKS ASKS sINeLE.TERM.
Introduces Bill to Make Presidential
Tenure Six Years.

Washington.-In speech in the
Senate upon his resolution for con-
stitutional amendment that would
provide a single six-year presidential
term, Senator Works of California,
identified since his entry into the
Senate with the Progressive Republi-
can faction, made strong criticism
OF Theodore Roosevelt and the Pro
gressive party for their affiliation
with George w. Perkins and other
representatives of large corporations.
Senator Works declared that both
Roosevelt and Taft deserved defeat.
He asserted that Roosevelt when
President had withheld action against
the Harvester trust with the natural
result that Perkins had been one of
the chief Roosevelt hackers in the
fight this year for the Progressive
nomination.
A single presidential term, Senator
Works declared, would prevent the use
OF patronage and the power of office
in the way it is now used, and would
remove the opportunity a President
now has to grant favors or inflict
punishment upon campaign friends or
enemies.

Cretonnes are SO attractive that they
have inspired much designing of ar
ticles for personal use and house dec
grafton. Recently linen crash and
fowered cretonnes have become more
popular than any other fabrics for
tasteful and inexpensive fittings and
furnishing. Certain patterns have
been featured for living. rooms and
porches, but it is in bedroom furnish
ings that they take precedence of ev-
erything else. They are bright and
dainty and better still, they are wash
able. Crashes are embroidered in
fast color embroidery silks or deco
rated with cut figures Of cretonne ap-
piled and button-hole stitched down.
There Is a long list of attractive
things which are made of these dura-
BILE fabrics. Among them the dressing
case sets. which cannot fail to please,
are among the least costly and most
effective of Christmas gifts. They are
acceptable to either men or women
friends.
The flowered cretonnes are used for
covering boxes made to hold handker-
chiefs, gloves. neckwear. cravats and
wells, and the large boxes for hats
and shirtwaists. They are fine for
laundry bags, shoe and slipper bags,
pin cushions and pin trays. tea trays
and tea cosies. Dresser scarfs are
made Of a plain fabric bordered with
cretonne. Picture frames are covered
with It and the cut-out figures are ap-
piled to candle shades. Cushions for
chairs help carry out the scheme for
cretonne decorations.
In the picture are three candle
shades, a fine tray and a frame for
photographs. They are made of Gre
the tray and frame and one or two
candle shades all matching ought to
rejoice the heart Of any one who ap-
preciates a pretty dressing case. They
are all very easily made.
To make the pin tray a small oval
frame with glass and back Is needed.
Plenty of these are to be found at
the ten cent stores framing pictures
which 1t is a decided satisfaction to
take out and destroy. After cleaning
the glass a stiff cardboard is to be cut
out (using the glass as guide) into
backing for q cretonne covering
Paste the cretonne to this backing
smoothly or>allow half inch around
the edge and fasten the cretonne with
stitches drawn across the back of the
cardboard. Slip the covered form in
to the frame under the glass and re-
place the back. Paste piece of plain
paper or felt over the bottom Of the
tray.
The photo frame is made of heavy
cardboard 9h inches long and 5h
inches high. The oval openings are a
trine over inches high and 2 inches
broad. The cretonne Is cut allowing
inch to turn over the edge all around
and "a inch about the oval openings.

make 1t fit and is pasted or glued

of cardboard Gas heavy as corrugated
board) which extent all round the
edge Of the frame at the back. These
strips are glued to the frame. The
inch allowance in the material is
brought over the edge of the frame
and glued down. A narrow strip Of
glass is laid against the oval open
ings at the back and fastened by
means of strips Of paper pasted over It
and to the back Of the frame. Finally

backing Of thin cardboard is pasted
to the frame across the top and
sides, leaving the bottom open for
slipping in the pictures. A small wire
ring is fastened in for hanger or an
easel support glued to the back by
means of a cloth hinge.
The tallest of the three candles has
shade made of stiff pink linen
fabric and decorated with garlands
and figure cut from the cretonne
pasted down. 1t is finished with a
narrow silk fringe. A pair of candles
with candle-sticks fitted with shades
and holders make a gift that everyone
enjoys. Glass or silver candle-sticks
are best for bedrooms. Brass and iron
ones are appropriate for living
rooms. The plain iron candle-stick
with rose-colored candle and fluted
rose-colored shade is suited to mans
room.
The shade is made of smooth linen
starched and fluted on an iron. 1t is
pasted on a cardboard ring at the top
and finished with a piece of fancy
rose-colored braid.
The dainty figured shade shown
with the silver candle-stick is pure
white with tiny flower wreath.
There is a lace edge about the top
and bottom. 1t Is made Of linen evi.
IDENTIFY woven for the purpose. stiffen-
ed and futed. 1t is mounted to a card
board ring and finished about the top
with white braid.
One of the easiest ways to shade a
candle as well as one of the prettiest,
is to cut a disk of cardboard about
inches in diameter, with a circle cut
out Of the center to fit over the can
die holder. Cover this with a square
OF cretonne edged with bead fringe,
cut the cretonne seven inches square
allowing an extra half inch for a mar.
row hem. Hem the hem and sew
the fringe over it. Cut an opening
from the center to fit over the candle
holder and allow a half inch hem also.
The pretty handkerchief case OF crash
shown In Fig. hardly needs descrip
ton. 1t is embroidered with small
pink roses, green leaves and q ribbon
design in light blue. 1t is lined with
pink wash silk, button-hole stitched
about the edge and tied with wash
ribbons. One corner is turned back.
This Is gift which man will appre-
] ciate.
The bag in Fig. may be made eth
er of cretonne or flowered silk. The
handles are made of embroidery rings
wound with narrow blue ribbon. The
upper part of the bag Is gathered over
one-half Of each ring and the fulness
at the ends is also gathered into small
rings having one and half inch diam
eter. Little ribbon bows, matching
the handles. provide the finishing
touch.
| A double bag of linen ornamented
with embroidery, serves as re-
ceptacle for soiled handkerchiefs. or
other small accessories. 1t is wash
able and will last a long time. Men
as we'll as women like these handy
bags. This is true OF the little COM

to the more than good looking pres.
ents which are made Of cretonne and
