NEW COTTON RUGS.

Dainty hangings of printed cotton white have long been a fayorite se- lection for the summer bungalow or cottage. and long has been felt the need of a rug that would carry out this cool color scheme. A rug recently seen was in an imposing shop which makes a speciality of showing Japanese goods and had on exhibition rugs of various sizes in charmingly covered Oriental design. The design, carried out on a white background, well cov- cred the background in different shades of blue. No, they did not look like bath mats, but evidently they are made on the same looms

YOU
AN UNsATTsFAcToRY REPLI-Y.

In view of the claims set forth in both of the American notes it is hard ly conceivable that Germany could expect that its latest note would sat- isfy the demands of this country. The sinking of the Lusitania, upon which the whole issue is based, is not only viewed as a legitimate act, but the responsibility for it is placed upon the British government and the fact that any lives were lost is attributed to the fact that the vessel sank before it ought to have. In other words, Ger many attempts to say that it did ev- erything that could possibly have been expected of them in the observance of the rights of neutrals and humanity when as matter of fact it did noth- ing of the kind. Instead of acknowi- edging it's wrong in such practice 1t attempts to justify it's act because 1t claims someone else did wrong.
 The note dodges the answer de-
 nanded as to whether or not the sub- marine policy of Germany would be continued as in the past or conform to the provisions of international law except what Is to be gained from the proposition to restrict neutral and American commerce. By this idea Ger many expects that this country will abandon it's rights under international law and subscribe to the rules which It is desirous shall be followed. Such an idea is preposterous and it is not conceivable that the United States would agree to any such suggestion. As far as the sending of advance in- formation and the placing of special markers on American vessels are con- cerned, 1t has only resulted in at- lacks by German vessels in the past What surety is there that they would get any more respect in the future? The only marker that is necessary for American vessels is the Stars and Stss2es and when 1t comes to mer- chantmen flying other flags they should get the proper amount of re- spect which the rules of war call for Germany attempts to justify it's acts by the fact that Great Britain first estab- hshed war zone and held up all commerce. Germany was not satis- ded to do even that; it not only de- .lares a war zone which it makes feeble pretense. at maintaining. but it sinks merchant vessels and takes the lives of crews and passengers, even where neutral nations are. concerned.
 The German note is written in a friendly tone. but it avoids a direct Lnswer to this country and cannot be looked upon as satisfactory. It seeks fo prolong the contention which this country is anxious to end, and att lempts to justify it's acts against this sountry because 1t believes its adver- Iary has not treated it right.

A DANNY TEAcLoTH.

wide hems and feather stitch all the hems and embroider a small spray in one corner of each. Then join the handkerchiefs together with lace in- sertion to form square with the em- broidered corners making the four corners of this larger square. Sew a ruffie of lace of about three or four inches depth around the entire edge. Torchon lace (not the heaviest) works up very nicely in this end wears bet ter than a fine lace.
 A smaller cover can be made for a stand or small table by using women's handkerchfefs and fine lace If the handkerchiefs are fine, with narrow hems and a little embroidery in the corner, no work need be done on them other than to sew the lace.

Almost every woman is anxious to know of some way in which to inn prove her complexion, and while steaming the face is by no means a new methed, it is nevertheless an ex- cellent one, and one recommended by many beauty specialists. Tn no other way can the pores of the skin be opened thoroughly, and in order to clean out the numerous secretions which become imbedded in the skin the dust, the dirt; the powder and per haps rouge-a steam bath must be given the skin occasionally Even the most thorough washing with soap and warm water will not dislodge the large amount of dirt which clogs up the pores, for the reason that the pores themselves are not opened sufficiently by the soap and water to give out their secretions.

USE SNAPS TO SAVE TIME.

When obliged to launder the linen collar with attached vestee so much the vogue just now, if the very small fasteners are used instead of basting in, as is customary, they cannot only be fastened in at minutes notice, but will always be in just the right place with not wrinkle.
 Use the smallest snaps and sew about four inches apart.
 When laundering the vestee iron over a heavy towel and the fasteners will not be hurt in the least.
 Any woman who has tried to sew one of these in hurry will appre- ciate the suggestion.

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE WORK.

Throughout the country in connec- ton with the efrort to lend greater encouragement to increased productive ity of the soil and the utilization of opportunities which have been over looked or disregarded in the past most commendable results are being obtained from the county improve ment leagues and kindred organiza- tions. They are bringing the farmers to realization of their position and furnishing them the necessary advice and assistance for their better7nent through intensive farming.
 This work is not confined solely to the farmer but includes the farmers children. who are given proper i'm sight into the business through the organization of different clubs which make possible extended study and greater interest in the problems of farm life. This is to be noticed by the manner in which they enter into the spirit of the movement. Clubs which have been started for instruc- lions in gardening, the raising of poul- try and home economies include the girls as well as the boys. Tn Hamp- den county, Massachusetts, where the undertaking Is perhaps better ad- vanced than in some other sections excellent results are to be noted in all these endeavors Not only is valuable use being made of what would other wise be wasted time, but much val uable experience is gained in greater and better production. This furnishes an incentive for those who must be looked upon as the farmers of the future and what Is being done in this direction today will be looked upon in years to come as one of the most val- uabIe efforts for the advancement of the interests of the New England till- CT of the soil.

TREATMENT OF oILcLorH.

Oilcloth ought never to be wet. but merely rubbed with a flannel and pol ished with brush of moderate hard ness exactly like a mahogany table, and by this means the fading of the colors and the rotting of the canvas are entirely avoided.
 Wet the spots with oil of vitriol or oxalic acid diluted in alcohol or with lemon juice, and after a quarter of an hour rub them dry with a soft linen cloth.

The frequency with which the work ing girls wage is investigated and dis cussed and dissected must be a bit disconcerting to her, because nobody, no matter how humble. likes to be regarded as a problem to be worked out And, besides, one often wonders what happens when the flurries are over-does the wage scale mount any higher? But human interest impels one to read stories about how girls live, or fail to live on a wage running from $4.50 to $9.00 per week. They certainly reveal life as 1t runs wher the pay drops down, and show plainl' that here is a sorry condition as wei as an unsolved problem, as unfailine as the days.-Ansonia Sentinel.
