Blanket Stitch Finishes Edge.

Where finish is desired for hat
facing. brim or band. a popular fancy
is TO thread big-eyed needle with
double zephyr wool and work a coarse
blanket stitch over the edge which re-
quires the rinish. This is usually done
in worsted of a color in sharp contrast
20 the fabric, and thus provides a
desirable trimming feature as well as
a neat finish. II the eye Of the needle
IS sufficiently large 20 make an sde-
ouate opening in the fabric there will
be no pulling and breaking Of the
vorsted.
Wing and quill shaped ornaments
cut from any desired fabric and fin
isbod with buttonholng or blanket
stitch in contrasting colored worsted
are among the novelties seen on many
of the small hats.
Bright colored worsted pompoms,
mounted on flexible wires, are made in
the same way as a child's ball. There
is ring. shaped foundation Of paste
board. which is cut away after the
over-and-over layers of worsted have
been firmly tied. Such ball can be
trimmed to a pompom OF any size, some
of the cherry trimmings being made of
these clipped wool pompoms in varying
shades Of red.
Worsted trimmings are in high favor
for skating caps and for winter motor
ing hats. In many cases they are de-
tschable and may figure on ones tail
ored hat or ones skating cap merely by
stabbng a hat pin through the centre
of the ornament TO be applied.

Letters to Trenches
 Are Often Destroyed

London, Novi 30-The heartlessness of the red tape system is shown in the letter, written by a mother to one of the London papers, who instead of a letter from her soldier son, now in the trenches, received the following typewritten notice from the. military censor: Letter destroyed. This pat tern of envelope is obsolete, nnd it's use is forbidden
 Lately it was decided that the green envelopes served out to the soldiers in France should not be used. possibly because they had fallen into the hands of spies. But the act of the censor fell hard on the mother, whip writes:
 My son was sent out td France in the first week of February, and has had no leave. He came out of hos pital on October where he had been a month (during which time not one of his letters was forwarded, leach one coming back to us), and was sent straight up to the front line again.
 We have heard nothing about him sincel October II, so our anxiety can be understood. A conrade wrote to tell us he was missing and that the sergeant was writing details
 Our indignation may be imagined when we received, not news of our dear lad, but the heartIess. slip of pa per already described. He was a lance-corpora1, an | the best of sons"

MORAL CONVERSION / EASY AT WAR TIME.


 Petrograd. Nov. 30.-The effect of the war on the common soldiers and their families in the villages has been studied and reported to the Imperial Geographic Society by I. l.. U1yanoff, on the basis of letters that have pass ed through his hands. Mir Ulyanff examined fourteen letters written from a village in the northern province of Perm. Of course there was no seIec- ton. Without exception all the will lage Underwriters declared the war had to be fought to a victorious con- cluston. no matter what the cost to the country or to themselves.
 The soldiers writing from the front some on the eve of battle, expressed unfaltering confidence in the final out come, whether they should live to see 1t or not But5what was more strik- ing was that practically all the soldier letter-writers had obviously under gone, in their lonely watches or in their quiet trench conversations, mo- ral experiences that MT. -' Ulyanoff characterized as conversions. They expressed the intention, if spared, to live according to the dictates of their consciences. Some spoke of VOWS by themselves and by companions not to fall in future into the errors of their past, to be sober and industrious, gentle and kind.

Travel In Europe
 Beset With Risks

Paris, Nov 30-Dimcu1ties for Americans travelling on the Continent are increasing. Walter Morse Rum mel, the American composer and pianist swhof has been living for many years in Paris. and his wife, formerly Thereses Chaigneau, a French pianist were arrested at Dieppe recently, sus- pected of being spies.
 They were returning home from London where professional engage ments called them. They had submit ted their papers to the French consu- late General in London and had re- ceived a safe-conduct to Paris. They had an American passport and a per sonal letter from MT. Thackara, the Consul General. They were searched after their arrest at Dieppe. AL though nothing suspicious was found they were detained in a hotel over night. The next morning Runn1nel vas taken by gendarmes through the streets. followed by children calling put that he was a German. Both he Eand his wife were locked up in prison until the next morning. RummeIs cell companions were two persons ac- cJrsed of theft.
 MT. and Mrs. Rummel were trans ferred by train to Rouen, irnprison- ed there in cells, the floors of which were covered with filth and the walls with obscene drawings They Were there six hours before being able to buy piece of stale bread and a piece of cheese. Rum n1e1s fellow prison was an Apache who confded to him that he had just stabbed a woman. Rumme1 had at every stage of his ex- perience explained who he was and demanded that the authorities should inquire at the American Enab bassy in Paris Luckily he had been able to send telegram. to the Consul Gener- al in Paris before being interned. He and his wife were released therefore after forty-eight hours detention aI- together, upon representations of the American Consul in Rouen.
 MT. RummeTs father and grand Father were British. His mother was the daughter of s. F. B. Morse. the inventor of the telegraph; Runn3ef happened to have been born in Rer lin during a period when his father was there on business He wa4 rag 1stered as British-born at inc British Consulate.
