leader Of ULSTER
PLEDGES DEFIANCE
Irish Province Never Will For
sake Imperial Parliament
Rule, He Says.

DURHAM. England, September 13.-Sir
Edward Carson. leader of the Ulste-
unionists. In a speech here tonight de-
clared that Ulster never would abandon
the principle for which she had fought of
being governed by an imperial parlia-
ment. with an executive responsible to
that parliament.
This declaration was made with refer
ence to the recent proposal Of Earl Lore
burn, former lord high chancellor. that
there should be a conference between the
great political parties with view to
settlement Of the Irish question by con-
sent.
Cites Broad Gulf.
Sir Edward said that the very proposal
showed that thinking men were beginning
to realize the gravity OF the situation.
But, he added, between those he repre-
scented and Redmond's party there was a
gulf no conference could bridge.
With Mr.. Redmond it was not a ques-
ton of good government, but of separate
nationality: with Ulster it was govern
ment by the imperial parliament. These
two views were irrecOncilable: there was
not the slightest use OF pretending to hol.
q conference which must prove abortive
II would be false to my people," said
the Ulster leader, IF 1 gave the slightest
Encouragement to the idea that any loyal
man Of Ulster was prepared to give up
even to the slightest degree the protection
Of the imperial parliament and executive
which now govern u.s."

er the manufacture of linens and
woolen had become popular that we
learn of the making of silk garments.
1t is frequently referred to by the
classic writers after the close of the
Roman republic, but, as in the case
of the woolen and linen cloths, the
first products were so expensive that
that only the wealthy classes could
afford to wear garments of it. AS
time passed and Improvements were
made on the looms it came into more
common use.
Industry was encouraged among
women, and it was considered quite
an accomplishment for those of the
highest ranks of society to spin and
weave and superintend the making
of the garments of their households.
That this labor added dignity to wo-
men of every rank would appear from
the representation given of the god
dess of wisdom following the same
work and priding herself on the high
quality of her production.

Case for Centerpiece.

It is sometimes a difficult matter
to keep centerpieces from becoming
crushed after laundering, and there
fore many women make a case in,
which 10 roll them, says the Phila-
delphia North American. Purchase a,
piece of cretonne one and a quarter
yards long and at one end turn up a
hem wide enough to cover pole an
inch in diameter and in length trifle
shorter than the width of the ere
tonne. When choosinbg the material
select a dainty design showing alter
nate stripes of flowers and a delicate
color.
Bind the three sides with half inch
washable ribbon, stitching it neatly
either by hand or on the machine.
Attach three pieces of ribbon to the
end. These are used to tie the case
when the centerpieces are rolled in
place
This is an especially useful article
and should, be added to the linen
chest. and there will never be any
need of pressing a centerpiece before
! it is fit to place on the dining table.
1t requires only a short time to make
an attractive case of this variety, and
you will never cease to sing its praises
when it has saved you much incon-
venience.
Now that you have supplied case
| for the centerpieces provide like ar
ticles for the doilies of your luncheon
set. From cardboard cut two circular
pieces an inch wider than the plate
doilies and two others an inch wider
than the diameter of the tumbler
| doilies Cover these with cotton wad-
ding and sprinkle with lavender.
Using cretonne to match the center
piece case, cut circular pieces enough
to cover the top and bottom of the
disks. Allow a half inch for turn
| ing ia all around, and neatly whip
stitch the two together or baste
roughly and bind with the half inch
ribbon. At three places attach pieces
| of ribbn with which to tie the case
! shut when the doilies are placed be-
1 tween the two sections. \ set of cases
| for a lunch set would make most
acceptable gift to a prospective bride
or to the systematic housewife who
likes place for everything.

Cloth Making Ancient Art.

When milady goes shopping and
searches among the wonderful collec-
ton of cloths on exhibition in the
great dry goods stores for material
for a new spring suit she finds many
of the countries of the globe repre-
sented in the products shown, and
the question frequently arises, which
one of all these countries was the first
to manufacture cloth and when was
the art discovered, says the Chris
tian Science Monitor.
There is an abundance of evidence
that many of the useful arts were in
vented by the antediluvians, and that
the knowledge was preserved by No
ah and his family. 1t seems prob
able that the process of weaving was
known to them, as Moses speaks of
various kinds of garments and thread
in use after the deluge; but it is i'm
possible to ascertain just when the
manufacture of cloth was first intro
duced. Many useful inventions arose
from accidental circumstances, and ii
is possible that spinning and weaving
came in that way But there is evil
dence that the progress was very slow
owing to the great expense, probably
which was necessarily attached to the
first products of the loom. There is
much to prove the claim of the Egyp-
tians to the honor of the invention
Pliny goes so far as to give the name
of the inventor Pathymias, the Egyp-
tian But, wherever the art of weav-
ing originated, it is true that it reach
ed a higher standard of perfection
much earlier in Egypt than in any
other country. and for many genera
tions the linen cloth in Egypt held
the precedent over all other countries,
the linen of that country being spok-
en- of as fine linen"
The dyeing of materials for clothing
must have reached a high grade of
perfection soon after the art of weav-
ing was introduced. Special colors
We're peculiar to the different nations,
and some of them were as brilliant as
those of Bulgaria, Egypt and the Ori-
entail countries so highly favored the
present season. Scarlet, blue, purple
and crimson were particularly spoken
of in the decoration of the temple.

why We All Like to Read Novels

In the course of an interesting ar
ticle, "Shall We Read Novels" pub

"a wholesome taste for novel read
ing is nothing else in the world but
wholesome curiosity. We want to
know how other people live. We are
curious about our fellow beings. And
that mainly, is why we read novels,
We want to know how these fellow
beings feel, how they act; and the
well-written novel pretends to tell us
just these things. Moreover, and this
is quite as important a matter we
would act under given circumstances.
Supposing we were not living in our
own particular and perhaps unroman-
tic surroundings, but in others more
strange more romantic, more inspir-
ing, how would we behave ourselves?

of her feelings and her behavior; tells
it all so tellingly, so truthfully' so

comes the exaggerated small hat with
exaggerated height of crown or trim

equally striking and unusual. Occa-

band of brown velvet ribbon encircles
the crown, tying in a flat bow at the
