LINGERIE RIBBONS.
A Dainty Case Designed For Their
Safe Keeping.

odTc NetPiHSs
Keeping the ribbons from the lingerie
fresh is a problem for every woman.
When the ribbons are taken out while
the garment goes to the laundry they
are very apt to be mislaid and almost
certain to be crushed and tangled.
To obviate these difficulties a very
pretty case may be made which is a
charming little gift Cut any hand
kerchief in half, hem the cut edge
and fold it over within two inches Of
the border. This forms baglike space
which should be divided into four or
FIVE compartments made by stitching
from the hemmed edge to the folded
edge.
Into these pockets fit strips Of card
board wound with lingerie ribbons.
Leave an inch wide margin before you
begin the pockets and stitch ribbon
on the back or at one end. When the
case is finished and filled roll it up
like a needlecase or shoe and wrap and
tie with the ribbon.
Whenever the ribbons are removed
from the clothes they should be wound
around the cardboards and that will
keep them fresh and firm. This makes
an attractive and useful gift at very
little cost.

WITH BILL,
 SAYS JOHN REDMOND
Irish Nationalist Leader Makes Final Speech on Second Reading.

London, April CT think in the present circumstances there is noth- ing for the house of commons to do but proceed with the home rule for Ireland bill as it stands.' This was the closing sentence of a speech de- livered today in the house of commons by John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish nationalists who made the final speech on behalf of the nationalist party on the second reading of the home rule bill. The vote of the house on the measure was arranged to be taken tonight.
 The days proceedings in the house were opened by MT. Redmond, who pleaded that the present stage of the controversy was so critical that all energies must be devoted to facing, a settlement of the realities. He con- tinued:
 Country Is Disguised.
 "The country as a whole is sick and tired of the Irish question, and it must be settled here and now"
 Emphasizing that it was impossible for the Irish nationalists by agreeing to the permanent exclusion of Ulster from the operation of the home rule bill to abandon the principle of Ire land as nation,'' MT. Redmond added:
 ''The real question of the moment is how far each side is prepared to advance toward an agreement"
 Scheme Was Acceptable.
 The nationalists, MT. Redmond said would have been glad to accept the scheme proposed by Sir Horace Plum kett in February, by which a plebis- cite would be taken after a certain number of years on the question whether any section of Ulster desired to continue subject to the Irish par liament.
 Mr. Redmond said he was in sym pathy with the general proposal of a scheme of federation, but vague talk on the subject, he declared, was mis- chievous and could not solve the pres- ent difficulty.

' Cleveland's Boy-Lilke Mayor.
 (World's Work.)

Judge Martin Foran was a good speaker in great demand at policitaI meetings in Cleveland, o. Once. when he had an engagement of this kind, he was taken i'll and sent his young partner Newman D. Baker. No one ir the audience had ever heard the stripling. Pat Mckinney, who pre- sided, when he reached Judge Foman's number looked pityingly at Mr. Baker
 Judge Foran is sick and cannot ap- pear,' he said. He sent his boy to speak for him. Come on, boy, and tell 'em what you know"
 Of course, the crowd laughed as NIT. Baker ripped forward. But he Was entirely self-possessed; he had spoken only few clear-cut, staccato words when the laughter changed to the raptest attention; and, long before he had finished, the crowd was just as we'll pleased that Judge Foran had not appeared. From that moment the boy has been one of the most vital clements in the life of Cleveland. He is now the city's mayor.
