Nelson w. Aldrich

That he was the persistent, pc
tential friend of American labor
and industry, the powerful adyo-
cate of all that contributed tc-
ward TIE support of American
business, is the monument that
implr,i- | history will erect over
che grave of Nelson w. Aldrich.
whose death occurred April 10,
1915. During his term of thirty.
years in the United States Senat.
ne never faltered in his.conviction
that the best Interests of Ameii-
eau business were the best inter
asts-of the American people as a
whole. Believing this, he was,
of course, stalwart Protectionist
His was the guiding hand which
helped to frame two of the best
Protective Tariffs the COUNT
ever had; the Dingley Tariff of
1897 and the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff.of. 1909. Senator Aldrich
mad no doubss and no decisions
On the subject of Protection. He
knew what Protection meant to
American employment, American
ga.e3 and the American standard
2f living. = In his. view labor and
t. iewards were the great things
to be considered. Almost twenty
years ago the editor of the Amer
lean Economist wrote to Senator
Al irich, in. Washington the fol-
lowing inquiry;
!. What, in yourjudgment, is the
proportion which labor cost bears
toward. production COST.
~Nery promptly came the reply
of SenateE.Aldrich, al follows:
Labor cost and production cast
are practically equivalent terms.
Believing this as he did, MIR.
Aldrich could hardly have been
any less than. the positive that

PLAIN NEEDLEWORK.
BY HELEN HOWE.
Children's Beds.

While there is little economy in max
ing clothing for grown-up beds. the
furnishings for the children's can be
economically made at home. In buying
made clothing one must take certain
standard sizes which do not always fit.
Sometimes sheets are too short in pro-
portion to their width, or frequently
one cannot find spread in the desired
design or coloring. Pillows. too. come
in only certain shapes and sizes. and
these do not always A. the bed to be
furnished.
In fitting an infants bed the rubber
sheet and the quilted pad must be
bought. If time is not consideration
the pad can be made at home on the
machine. using a soft. rather loosely
woven muslin for the covering and
sanitary cotton for the filling
thin. soft muslin will be much
more comfortable for baby than sheets
and pillowslips of linen They should
be simply made and trimmed with a
little torchon lace edsing and inser-
tion.
Baby blankets are very soft and light.
but the home made blanket of white
eiderdown is quite as satisfactory and
much cheaper. The edges should be
bound with ribbon In dainty color.
since white edges soil so quickly. "A
spread IS really unnecessary upon an
infants bed, nut the pretty cover OF
point de esprit. lined with color, Is
extremely dainty.
The crib of an older child is fur
nisied with "A pad or blanket between
sheet and mattress. Both sheets and
pillowslips are untrimmed save for a
monogram or a bit of cross-stitch In
coIors II liked. The soft. woolly blan-
kets in checkerboard design are very
attractive. especially in creamy white
and wood brown. dull blue COM
bined with tan is also very pretty.
Blankets this order do not show
soil as quickly do white ones. and
the checkerboard is great improve
ment over the old-time gray and red
blankets with their ugly black bor-
ders. Boys however. will prefer them
to the daintier new designs.

one suggestion. Floral, animals little

THE ONE-LACE SHOE.

Have you seen the onc-lace shoe
Not the shoe that laces at the side nor
ye< the shoe that laces straight down
the back-although the shoe in ques-
tion does lace down the back. But this
is shoe that laces with only one lace.
And t he lace fastens around little
metal hooks. from top to bottom, like
those at the top of mems laced boots.
These hooks would prove awkward il

be sure to catch in the hem of the skirt
and cause tripping and falls. But with
the skirt swinging well above the boot
top, and far away from il, too. because
Of the f1aring hem, there is no chance
of catching in the little metal hooks
1t goes without saying that these new
boots could be very quickly adjusted.

THE FLOWERS OF SPRING.

Fortunately the return TO the mid
Victorian taste in dressing has not
brought q return to midVictorian taste
in the arrangement of flowers. One
sometimes sees little bunches of cor
saRe flowers of the artificial sort ar
ranged in the manner of fifty years
ago, and occasionally bouquet of gar
don flowers Is put together in the same
way for the sake of variety. But now
adays, in spite of styles in dress. flow
Srs are usually arranged as nearly In
their natural manner as possible.
The first thing to do If you would be
q pastmistress in the art of arranging
flowers is to study their natural habits.
You must see them growing to know
how to place them in vases. or at least
you must see pictures of them grow
ing If you are not able TO see them
actually.
The spring bulb flowers grow on
straight, stiff stems. and their foliage
is stiff and straight, too So when you
are placing them, don't try for an ef-
feet of dropping foliage. Use nothing
but their own spiky leaves. The best
way. perhaps. to arrange them is the
way most usual at present-in fiat
dish in which there is a metal turtle or
frog or some other metal weight filled
with holes in which the stems can be
thrust Then the flowers stand upright
I'm all of their natural beauty.
Flowers with short stems should be
arranged in shallow dishes. Pansies.
for instance look best in a shallow
bowl or little glass basket. their heads
held above the water by the aid of a
little wire netting by their own
green foliage.
Iris is most effective in a tall glass
beauty in their stems. hence glass
vases give them the greatest beauty
when they are cut, by showing the
stems Iris should be arranged only
with its own foliage
IL you pick honeysuckIe. arrange it in
q hanging basket in which there is a
dish of water for the stems. Almost
any vine flower looks better hanging
than standing on u table
Columbine should he pick ed with its
own feathery foliage. and so should
pyrethrum or painted daisy. Roses can
be arranged with ferns from the woods
or garden or with any other soft green.
1T IL a good plan TO have some plant
useful only for foliage growing in the
garden. Dusty miller Is q good plant
of this class 1t grows easily. and it's

SMART NECKWEAR.

At the present time no one style takes
precedence over another in neckwear
High-neck styles as we'll as low ones
are worn. and high back collars as well
as fiat collars are worn Collars in
many shapes and a great variety of
permissible material are seen in won
derful assortment.
Dress sets and coat sets. fichus, jabots,
frills and ruffs of malines and ostrich
are all in most attractive array. There
lored styles as well as those elabor-
ately trimmed with lace and embroi-
dery. Collar and cuff sets for dresses
are considerably trimmed. A popular
idea just now is the Buster Brown or
Eton collar. Some of the collars on
this order, slightly larger and Il tritie
lower in the front, are called the artist
collar. Like the Buster Brown collar
they are in variety Of materials, both
in white, and in white with stripes of
color. These collars are soft. and are
worn with Windsor ties either of solid
color or in fancy materials
High back and wfront collars are
in novel and attractive styles. The
majority fit rather close to the neck in
the back, and many of them are III

style the tendency is to use ribbon with

High stocks are made principally Of
black satin or organdy. The latter are
usually finished with a narrow tie of
satin. Stocks of satin are also seen
with turn-overs of organdy. many of
which are on the tailored order. Point

length kimono sleeves. under which
white net extensions are worn, and the
V neck has a finishing ruffle of net.
Except fer the crossed-over fronts the
blouse is quite plain, and is bloused all
around, with even gathers under a belt
of narrow, pansy-purple velvet ribbon,
below which. just at either side Of the
front, little pointed vest tabs carry out
the sloping lines of the blouse closing.
The tunic is gathered across the back
and hangs over either hip In square
embroidered corner. It's lower edge de-
scrbes a slanting line to the back. as
does also the first of the two pleated
fiounces that form the skirt
The lower flounce, mounted to a net
top shows a zigzag line Of embroid

Another variation of this design may
combine two materials, such as heavy
white linen and fine white voile, in
which case the former would make up
the blouse and pointed tunic and the
latter the fiounced skirt. underslGeves

and satins came in to vie with printed
muslins for summer wear We're so many
interesting things done with wash ma

cotton marquisettes, voiles and crepes
