MO one knows where all the pretty " little fads and furbelows that hold brief reign in the feminine world have their origin. But they blossom out like the flowers, and if their roots are in the soil of conner cialism they are no less attractive and alluring fancies.
 Just at the moment everyone wants a ruff. One might almost conclude that it is illegal to appear on the street without a band of black velvet and fan of white or black malines at the neck. The bands Of velvet are fastened with snap fasteners under tiny cabochons of steel or rhinestones, or under small, brilliant ribbon roses. Altogether, this little bit of finery is very attractive and bright.
 High collars bordered with dark fur form background for satin roses made of rit bon and set in millinery foliage. The stems are wound with narrow ribbon or with tfnfoil. Often the roses are scented. Sometimes small punches of little flowers or bril- liant fruits are worn in the same way. A ruff and rose are shown in the picture given here.
 Little sachet bags, about two inches square, are made of satin in the light colors. An assortment of them, Gin cluding one each in pink, cream, blue, yellow, lavender, green, and white) makes lovely gift. A very small safe ty pin is fastened in the side of each bag, for pinning it into the blouse. The little bags are piled together and tied with white baby ribbon, the bow finished with the tiniest of ribbon roses and rose foliage. They are

THROW BALL OUT OF BASKET
Only Necessary to Pull Rope to Re move Object From the Closed
 Bottom Receptacle.

The closed-bottom basket used in the game of basketball is so high that it is difficult to remove the ball after a goal is made. Generally long stick is used for this purpose, but I desired to have better way, and the device shown in the illustration was the out come, writes Annie B. Currine of San Diego, Cal, in the Popular Mechanics. A light iron rod was hinged to the edge of the basket and bent to its in ner shape, the lower end resting at about the center of the basket. A rope was attached to the lower end and run up and over sheave pulley attached to the basket support, then down so it could be easily grasped.

Many novel eXpedients were adopt ed in meeting the crisis caused by the European war.

Uphold the President.

The people trusted the Democratic party to do what it promised. In his inaugural address the president closed with these noble words: Mems hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward looking men, to my side. God helping me, ! will not fail them if they will but counsel and sustain me" This is compelling appeal, and all true and honorable Democrats in congress should heed it and rally around the president to redeem the party pledges.
