Two bits of fancy ribbon thus firing
ed may be stitched together to make
sachet covers.
The dainty colorings and charming
varieties in these Dresden ribbons sug-
gest numerous uses for such odds and
ends at the Christmas season.
Such a simple thing as a package of
good pins can be placed in an attrac-
tive holder. Take piece of ribbon
five inches wide. fold ii in half and
then fold the edges back ON them
selves Make this case little longer
than the paper of pins. Fasten the
edges at the corners after fringing
them and place a bow of narrow rib
bon at each end, allowing for a short
ribbon handle This can be made to
match the bureau trimmings and can
be hung at the side within convenient
reach.

WANT WHITE HOUSE RENAMED
One Set of Historians Claim Name 10
British Slur.

British Slur.
A heated discussion is raging before
the Columbia Historical Society of
Washington over the common use of
the title White House" for the resi-
dence of the president OF the United
States. One set Of delivers into history
declare that the title is one Of con-
tempt bestowed on the historic man
sion by the victorious British shortly
after they partially burned it in the
war of 1912.
Others maintain that the name was
given the building in honor OF Mrs.
Martha Washington, whose girlfIood
home on the York river in Virginia
bore it. Already the society is divided
into two camps and an embryonic
movement to petition for the changing
of the name of the building is bitterly
opposed by the ''pro-white housers," as
they have been designated.
