AN EMBROIDERED BLOUSE.

For some time hand embroidered
seemed shame, too, for the hand
work on blouse always showed to
good advantage. However. there Is no
longer any need 10 lament about the
matter, for once more women are priv
ileged to wear blouses which show the
results of their labor in the embroidery
field. But the embroidery is applied In
a different manner. Instead OF deco
rating the front OF the blouse In plas-
tron effect, dainty little flowers hang
In garlands from the shoulder line.
The shoulders are outlined with band
OF embroidery. One blouse showing
this treatment was embroidered in
front, and the line of closing was fin
ished with Misunderstanding and few
tiny white buttons embroidered In
green also.
The application of the embroidery on
the sleeves was quite variation. A
separate cuff finished each sleeve and
was edged with green featherstitching.

garlands of the flowers embroidered in
the delicate colors suggested above
were embroidered up the sleeve FOR a

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post Office. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings Act
just approved by President Wilson. A
postal savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to 81 900
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his credit.
This enlargement of postal savings
facilities will be very gratifying to
thousands of depositors who have al
ready reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another fea-
ture of the amendment that will avoid
further embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from a deposit
tor monthly. Under the old law 500
could be deposited in calendar
month. The amendment abolishes this
restriction. While the Postal Savings
System has already proved a signal
success as is shown by the fact that
more than half-a-msllion depositors
have over eighty million dollars
standing to their credit, still it has
fallen short of meeting the full de-
mands of the public because Of the
restrictions which have now been
eliminated. Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson and Third Assistant Postmaster
General Dockery have been tireless
in their efforts to secure a modifica-
ton of the limitations and the new
liberalizing Legislation is particular
ly gratifying to them.

Prohibition An Issue

In three months political survey
made by a staff man of the staid and
conservative Boston Transcript, sew
eral interesting things were learned.
"The survey was undertaken in an
entirely unprejudiced spirit with the
purpose of finding the real sentiment
of the people towards national candid
ates, national issues and any condi-
ton that might affect the national
conventions and the national election.
With this purpose, the correspondent
visited 80 of the most prominent
states east of the Rocky Mountains.
He talked with Governors, Senators,
politicians, political leaders, big edi-
tors, little editors, country editors,
and ordinary voters.
"Once in a while old stalwart Re-
publican or Democrat mentioned the
word tariff, but in the main tariff is
not entering political discussions this
spring.
Ear more of an issue than both
tariff and preparedness is Prohibition,
the correspondent found. From North
Dakota to Florida, from Vermont to
Colorado, the Prohibition question
has the country in an uproar. While
just now each state is fighting its own
battle, the question is approaching a
national issue. Local option obtains
in almost every state where state
wide Prohibition is not the law. Boot
logging and interstate shipments I'M
der the protection of the Interstate
Commerce Commission prevails in all
the Prohibition states, whether local
option or statewide.

People naturally assume that
handsome woman marries a homely
man because he has a lot of money.
People want to think more, to feel
more, to love more intensely, to utter
themselves more spontaneously, more
freely, but they are afraid Of public
opinion. Now, to imprison oneself in
public opinion is to imprison oneself
in the intellectual and moral notions
of the average man, and that means
inevitable mediocrity-a sort Of liv-
ing death.

Beware of Paraffin Cups

When an Englishman drinks toast
to his queen, he breaks the glass as a
pretty little homage, Girard writes in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
When you put a penny in the slot
and extract an individual cup you
should smash it after using it. That
isn't homage, but a precaution that
may save human life.
Do you know what happens to
many of . those discarded paraffin
drinking cups? Picked up by careless
people and used over and over again.
If you will recall that a deadly
germ feels even less at home on a
glass cup than upon one made of para
fin you can easily see why neither
should be used many times by many
persons
There is one certain way to outwit
the germ; crush the cup.
