TSHE design for the Perry Me-
mortal. which is to be
erected on South Bass
Island, Lake Erie. has been Sc
lected by the National Fine Arts
Commission as the result Of a COM
petition under the auspices Of the
Interstate Board Of the Perry's
Victory Centennial Commission.
This memorial is unique in sew
eral respects. In the first place
1t is intended to celebrate victory
Of peace as well as a triumph OF
war. While II is erected primarily
in honor of Commodore Oliver HaZ-
ard Perry, the hero Of the Battle
of Lake Erie in the War OF 1872
and the author Of the historic
phrase We have met the enemy and
they are ours" it is also intended
TO commemorate the 100 years OF
peace between England and the
United States which followed that
conflict and the cementing OF their
friendship by the arbitration treaty
Just entered into between them.

HOME MADE BUTTONS
SOME LITTLE TIPS THAT WILL BE
FOUND HELPFUL.
The Story of the Button Has No End
When the Quick Eye Can Grasp
the Little Touches on the
EXPENSIVE Gown.

This season is surely a button sea
son, and if you care not to give your
order for molds to be covered, you
can make your own quite easily.
Do not make the mistake of cutting
the circular piece to cover the wooden
form too large. This makes a need
less bulk on the under side of the
button and prevent a fiat, well-ad-
Justed mold in trimming.
Cut the pieces from a pasteboard
pattern all at one snip of the scissors.
Then begin with a wooden form. After
gathering the circular piece, slip it
over the button, draw up the thread
and sew across with few stitches. #
possible, attach Immediately to the
dress with the same thread.
Satin buttons, velvet, linen. lace
over silk and embroidered buttons are
easily fashioned.
Have you priced hand-embroidered
buttons? Well, sit right down. sister,
and make your own. After covering
with silk, take coarse silk and cross
in either two or three diagonals. Knot
at the center, and then from this point
weave over and under the radiating
lines until spider-web effect is OBJ
tanned The stitch is quite like that
which we used in our renaissance lace
work years ago.
Gold and colored net over silk gives
a very good imitation of embroidery.
Lace with a flower pattern can be ap-
piled with the blossom in the center
of the button. A touch of colored
thread over white applique lace adds
wonderfully.
Cretonne-cOVered buttons are good;
Irish lace roses seWed on Iinen-cover-
ed buttons can be easily made. In
deed, the story of the button has no
end when a quick eye can grasp the
little touches that are apparent on ex-
pensive gowns, and the clever hand
can apply the hints in ones own sew
ing room

HAVE COLD IDEAS OF LOVE

Perhaps there is no greater differ

tween their ideas of love. In TACT, we
Chinese do not believe in love, for we
are not sickly sentimental creatures,
but cold philosophical, fatalistic be-
ings. We arrange our matrimonial
affairs through hard reasoning and not
through the tender passion.
To US marriage is a serious bust
ness of the head. and not a light af-
fair Of the heart. In these matri-
moniaI transactions we apply the
most rigid, keen, calculating business
principles, and that is why we are so
successful in the marriage enterprise,
as we have never been buncOed by
Cupid at the game of love.
We never pay homage at the altar
of this stupid, brainIess, yellow kid,
the disturber of peace, the breaker OF
hearts, the destroyer of homes and the
promoter Of affinity stock companies.

We do not believe in love, for love
is not the greatest thing in the world.
1t is not even thing nor substance.
1t is simply the product of an idle
brain, the outgrowth of a drowsy

stantial, for its cumulative and quail

changes of scenery and environment,
and its drawing and binding power in
creases as the square of the distance
between subject and object increases
or decreases, as the case may be.
Love is the anthithesis OF reason,
for man sees with reason and only
feels with love. and it is the most vio-

symptom of a disordered brain, as a
nightmare is a symptom of a disor-

WERE MAYAS BABYLONlANS?

The Mayas, the ancient civilized in

TAME DEC0Y FOR VULTURES

The Tibetans Of the upper Mekong
valley have an interesting method Of
catching vultures, the feathers of
which are used for making fans. They
fasten tame vuItures to stone pedes-
tails near the cliffs where the wild
birds live, and when the latter are
sighted one or two of the decoys are
loosed and the men hide in huts. Near
the pedestals a heap Of carrion has
been placed in a rough wooden cage,
so constructed that 1t is difficult for
the birds to make away with a piece
bodily, though it is easy enough to get
at; they therefore hop clumsily round
the cage, pecking and tearing furious

made its first appearance the other

side is a line Of enameled posts, from
floor to ceiling. Each passenger is

rights. This leaves no chance for a
