 Mellen said Lane told him that the American Express interests were go- ing to sell anyway, chiefly because 1 they were dissatisfied with their in- vestment and that he (the witness) regarded the situation that might be cided to buy the stock rather than have it go into the hands of other in- terests. The New Haven agreed to buy the stock. he said, giving New Haven stock for it, share for share. In order to provide the necessary New Haven stock for the exchange, Meiien said, the New Haven's steamship lines were merged into the Consolidated Railway company, a New Haven troll ley holding concern and the Consoli- dated company into the New Haven for which $30,o0o. 900 New Haven stock was issued and kept in the treasury for the purpose of the exchange.

MATTER OF OFFICE HOURS

as to Attaining Results Are
of Interest.

Two men with offices in the Wall
street district, each employing cleri-
cal force of dozen persons, were talk
ing shop at luncheon the other day
and one said he was an early riser
and usually was at the Office before
any of the clerks.
I'm an early riser, too, and get up
because l like to-" said the other, but
| never get to my office before nine
o'clock, half hour after the Office
opens for business. l do this because
after considerable experience and OBJ.
servation / found that it is more effec-
tive with the employees.
"They are shrewd folk, they are, and
have their own methods of sizing up
the boss, and I find that they conclude
that the employer who gets to his
office early either needs the extra time
to do his work in or he wants to see
that his employees are not beating
time on him. Either of these con-
ditions is, in my opinion, not to the
interest Of the employer.
Therefore, l let them see that l
trust them to be on hand promptly
and also that l can do my part of
the work in less time than they can.
l can't always, but when l can't | do
it at home, where they can't see me
or know anything about it. respect
my people and they respect me. and l
don't have to get to the Office early to
do it, either"

MUCH DEPENDS ON NEEDLE
Successful Embroiderer Will Make
Careful Selection and Have an
Abundant Supply.

Very frequently embroiderers have
their nerves frazzled when the silk,
trays while they work with it. Not
every person knows that this condi-
ton is due to the fact that the eye of
the needle is too small for the num-
Der of silk that is being used. 1t is
just as big a mistake, however, to Sc
lect needle having too large an eye.
In such a case the work takes on the
appearance of having too few stitches
and holes mark the edges of every
stitch
When embroidering piece of work
which requires shading, the sewer will
find it very convenient to have a
needle for each color used and use
them in succession as each color is
required in her work. You will never
find an experienced embroiderer CON
filming herself to one needle where a
number of colors have to be used al
ternately.

Single Cushion, in Gay Colors, Will Do
Wonders in Improving Appear &
ance of Room.

If your living room or your bedroom
is in need of bright spot get TO
work and make cushion of bright
colored material 1t is surprising how
one solitary cushion will change the
whole atmosphere of room. A cush-
ion made of old-rose poplin, denim or
silk would just sing with joy and hap
piness if you would place it amid your
surroundings. Through the center of
the cushion sew a strip of white pop
lin on which large old-rose flowers are
printed. Around the edge of the cush-
ion sew strip of narrow old-rose silk
fringe. Should you find that old rose
will not harmonic with your wall
paper or your hangings, select color
that will blend with them-bright
green, blue or yellow will have the
same cheerful effect as the old rose.

Dressy Sport Suits.

Palm Beach cloth is one of the at
tractive new fabrics for making up
into good-looking sport suits for beach
and country-club wear 1t is crisp,
light worsted weave, which absolutely
refuses to crease or wrinkle, and for
this reason it is excellent for motor
coats, as well as for belte1 fiare-skirt-
ed sport suits. A little more dressy
is khaki-kool, all silk in weave and
one of the most distinguished fabrics
of the spring. Even masculine suits
for summer wear are being built of
this pleasing khaki-kool which is to
be had in white and in the various
pale tan, cement and putty shades
now fashionable.

NOTES OF THE. SEWING ROOM
Proper Way to Cut Out Lining of
Blouse-Repairing GIoVe-When
' Threading Silk.

When cutting out the lining of
blouse yoke be sure to cut it the same
way of the material as the outside,
otherwise it will be unsatisfactory and
will not fit. h gr
Using warm iron when cutting out
a garment will do away with pins on
tissue paper patterns. Lay the paper
on the material and press lightly with
the warm iron. The pattern clings to
the cloth.
Quite the newest way of making a
casing to run ribbon through is by
making a wide cat stitch or feather
stitch on the outside of the article to
be used and through this run the
ribbon. 1t holds as we'll as the old
fashioned way.
If a glove splits at the thumb or
near a seam sure and permanent
way to repair it is to buttonhole the
kid on either side of the split, then
sew the buttonholed edges together.
The result will be a new, firm seam
that will never tear again. When!
buttonholing be sure to take good
hold of the kid, otherwise the stitches
will pull out from the kid.
Always thread silk into a needle by
putting the end of the silk that exists.
before it is unwound from the spool
in the eye first. If the silk is put in
from the end you break or cut, it I'M
twists more easily than if it is thread
ed from the other end. Clip all bast-
ings to be removed at five or six inch
intervals. They can then be pulled
out without wrinkling the fabric.
