FOR THE HOPE CHEST.

The bride-to-be will appreciate any gift of underwear that one sees fit to offer. And on the other hand, friends of the engaged girl are always eager to contribute something to the hope. chest. Perhaps among the most de- sirable. gifts are boomers and chem ises of Italian silk. This material can be procured in various pale shades, blue, pink, lavender, cream, etc, but the f1esh-colored material is very at- tractive. Elastic is placed in the knees of the bloomers, but simple tape or ribbon is used as. a drawstring for the top. On the left bloomer at the side, three inches above the elas- tie, embroider a monogram of inter- twined initials. At many of the shops these bloomers can be bought with embroidery running up the sides from the knee to the waistband. If one does not wish to go to the trouble of making the bloomers, a pair of ready made ones can be bought and a mon ogram embroidered on them-
 The c11emiss can be elaborated with lace, if desired. but heater material is hemstitching and hand enbroid- cry The former can be done at a hemstitching establishment, thus sav- ing time for the busy girl.

ON WASHING BLANKETS.

When washing blankets choose a warm sunny day with a gentle breeze
 Prepare suds by dissolving in hot water half a bar of any good white hard soap, one tablespoonful of borax and one tablespoonful of aqua ann rnonia for each pair of blankets Let suds cool until they will bear the hands. Immerse the blankets and let them stand in the suds for an hour, keeping the temperature about as, hot as the hands will bear by frequently adding hot water. Do not rub soap on the blankets, nor SCOUT nor rub them. Lay the washboard across the tub, then lay the blanket over the board going over the portion on the board with g. stiff hand brush, strip ping out the dirt which has become loosened by the soaking. Rinse in water of the same temperature, and hang to dry in plenty of breeze. Sue cess in washing blankets lies in avoid ing extreme changes of temperature.

RUSSIA uNFlAVoRARLY IM-
 PRESSED

Insfncere and theatric is the way in which official Russia looks upon the peace proposition of the Teutonic al- lies and this represents the attitude of the duma as well as the congress of nobles. In Russia the peace move Is looked upon as being taken now to ward off what will prove to be de- feat for the central powers in the con- tinuation of the war and it makes it's decision without awaiting the formal proposals which have been forwarded via neutral nations.
 None of the entente nations is ready to admit that they have been defeat ed or that the war will not ultimately result in victory for their side. Rus- sia has it's eye on the securing of an open port the year around. which would be obtained if it could se- cure the DardaneIles and Constant nopIe which have been promised to it when they are taken. It would not of course accept the loss of Lithuania and Poland, which Germany would have it do. for whatever is done for these provinces Russia intends to do it. self.
 The situation is much the same with Italy where peace would force 1t to abandon it's national ambition to re- gain that territory which was former ly part of Italy. and now that country has not obtained as much by entering the war as was promised 1t by re- maining neutral.
 Serbia would have> to undergo a partitioning in favor of Austria and Bulgaria and France would stin be without Alsace and Loraine if the proposals were accepted to say noth- ing, about the continued existence of Prussian militarism. and the losses suf- fered by the respective nations in men, money and property. Thus Russia undoubtedly expresses the ultimate decision that will be reached by all the allies, particularly when the coun- tries making the peace appeal have failed to secure decisive victory but are actually threatened with being the losers themselves

matter and now that they have strong ly voted in favor of ceiling under the terms proposed. there are reasons to expect that the voice of the people will be respected. The early consum- nation of the deal can therefore be anticipated.
 The Danish West Indies have not received the development that they have deserved. They are far from the mother country and they are source of annoyance to this country in their present ownership because of the dan- ger which is threatened to the Fan- anna canal should they be seized by larger foreign power in case of trouble. This country can make use of them as a naval base of consider able, importance in that locality.
 That the islanders have been ex- pecting that the proposition would go through has been evidenced not only by the expression of the natives fa- vorable to the sale, but by the appeal that they be given Independent gov ernment and not be attached to Porto R1com all of which means that this country must soon wrestle with the problem of government in what will soon be our new possessions.

NrvELLE,s FIRST BLOW.

General Nivelle did not wait long after his appointment as commander in chief of the armies in the north and northwest before he administered a blow at the enemy which gathered lin a large number of prisoners and not @ little booty. He struck at a point where he had become thorough ly familiar with the territory, since it was at Verdun that he has been in command for a number of months. It is claimed that his attack came as a surprise but there are reasons to be- ilieve that the enemy must have an- .ticipated that he would be heard from fin that quarter where he was thor ough1y at home, and that they fur wished all the resistance possible in checking the operations of the French army, but whether it was a surprise to the enemy or not. it is evident that they were not able to successfully re- Bist the move.
 This indicates not only the strength of the French, and the preparations which they have made in that region for driving the enemy out of the coun- try, but it furnishes some idea of the strength of the Teutons at that very point, from which it has been claimed in the past large detachments have been drawn to bolster up the line . further west and even to give addi- tiona1 aid to the armies of Mackensen and Falkenhayn, in Rumania If NiveIle can continue the success which has favored his first blow it will be quick ly demonstrated that there has been no mistake made in changing the commanders, and 1t is but natural that this first strike should be cheer ing to the allies as an indication of further successes.

HOME pREssMAKINo.

Alteration of Gored Skirt Pattern To increase hip and waist measure decide what amount must be added, cut legthwise through the center of each side gore and separate pieces un- til one-half the required amount Is given. Add equally to each gore.
 To decrease hip and waist measure lay a fold lengthwise through center of each side gore taking an equal amount from each one, in all, one-half the total amount.
 To increase waist measure lay a fold lengthwise through center of each side gore takitng an equal amount from each one, in all, one-half the to- tai amount.
 To increase waist measure; new, lines must be drawn for this from the top of each gore to the hip line. A portion of the whole amount is add ed eacth gore, the most over the hip.
 To decrease waist measure reverse the above process.
 To increase hip measure 1t will be necessary to draw a new line from waist to hip and from hip to bottom. Add to each gore at hip line, again using the greatest amount over hip.
 To decrease hip measure reverse above, drawing new line carefully as stated above.
 To lengthen pattern, about twelve inches below the waist line cut the pattern and add amount necessary for required length.
 To shorten pattern reverse the above. If a great deal has to be taken off some can be taken from the bot tom.
 Alterations for Irregular Figures The woman whose hips and abdomen push forward as she stands will need to alter the front gore of her skirt pattern. A tuck from ne-eighth to one-quarter inch deep will need to be taken in the back of the first gore of pattern and run out to nothing be- yond the center of the first gore.

TO THE EDITOR
Reply to Another One.

MT. Editor: In reply to Another One, would like to say, while the New England weather and climate is not one that any person can brag upon, it's far more desirable to live in than any atmosphere that possibly could surround a person like I should take Another One to be. I will give him the credit for telling part of the truth, even if he were not aware of the fact, when he said I must not have much to do, else could not find the time to write letter daily. Cr words to that effect.
 I think there are two fanatics or cranks to be dreaded. They are the religious crank, who considers that no way that leads to the kingdom of heaven is right but theirs-that a good moral man has no more of a chance to reach heaven than the wicked man unless he has been born again-and that if one does not keep the laws as are laid down in the Bible he must be cast. into endless fire and turmoil. to burn on and on forever. This is the true and loving God that we all must worship, not so much after all because the Bible tells us so, but because they tell us so.
 All the working cranks that I have met I have found to be selfish, grasp ing and usually unreasonable and tyrannical. I believe the man and woman who lives up to the Golden Rule and is ready to aid a person in distress, no matter where he came from nor who he is, has a better chance to get within the gates of heaven than any man or woman who is telling this and that one that they must give all to the Lord. Usually this sort of people put their money in the bank, where it remains during their lifetime. There are lazy persons to be found everywhere in the south as well as the north, but if I am not mis- taken there Is no part of the world where one can if one goes on a search find a more shiftless, lazy, gossiping set of women than right here in New England-yes, right here in the beau- tiful Rose of New England
 Instead of Another One paying out so much to take him down to Dixie to see the lazy women, he had better

SALVATION ARMY CHRISTMAS DINNERS.

There was a time when the poor children Of the city were assembled Tor an excellent dinner on Christmas day in some one of the big halls about the city. It was a fine bit of philan- thropic work though the plan has been abandoned for some years now, but the Salvation Army has undertaken tho cohmendable, but by no means easy, task of raising funds for the providing of the material for good dinners for the worthy poor in their homes. ".i
 This not only deserves hearty en- ,dorsement but there should be aroused by the effort a much more general in- terest than appears to De taken in this excellent cause. The joy of Christmastide may be full and com iplete for the majority of the people, but 1t is the season of the year when lsome thought should be given to those who are in less favorable circum- stances and that number is always considerable.
 2 Through the Salvation Army there 1s an excellent opportunity for mak- ing Christmas less cheerless for a good many unfortunates. There are homes which will be unable to distin- g1lish Christmas day from any other Rs far as the daily meals are concern ed except through some such agency. The good work has been undertaken by the Salvation Army from the rec ognition of the fact that it is needed. Tt is being done with no little sac rffce. It deserves encouragement and such endorsement as comes from q general participation of the public There need be no fear that there will hot be an opportunity to make good use of all that is received.

WITHOUT COMMENT.

By the decision of President Wilson not to attach. any recommendations one way or the other, to the proposals of peace formulated by the central powers of Europe forwarded through this government to the other belliger- ents is in keeping with the attitude which he has maintained for long time relative to dabbling in peace work abroad. This nation as we'll as other neutrals is desirous of the wars end but it is realized that it would be poor policy to attempt to dictate to either side as to what should be done In that direction until there Is a de- sire on the part of all that some terms should be agreed upon.
 That period, from all indications, has not been reached. To attempt to uphold one side or to support its position is open to the interpretation of the other that there is an unwarranted meddling with their affairs. and such has been lntimated as plainly as could be de- sired. The attitude is no different than would have to be taken provided 1t was the other side that was mak- ing the peace proposal and the cen tral powers were as firmly set against peace at this time. or on the allies terms.
 It is only by keeping our hands of, and by refra1ning from expressing our advice as to what should be done with such proposition, that we can be of much more valuable assistance later on in helping to straighten out
 the tangle. The expressions which have come from abroad are so much opposed to the acceptance of the offer that 1t would be a mistake for this government to do any more than act as the third party through which sthe nations at war can deal with each other.

From all Indications the Danish West Indies will soon be the property of the United States.

On the contrary. however, there has been no haste on the part of Denmark to part with the islands. mere speca1s on the ocean. regardless of the fact, that many millions more than were previously asked have been offered But Denmark was anxious to get an expression of eoplesrsgarding14he

Bright color is no disgrace to the luncheon table, these days. Colored centerpieces and doiies are replacing the all white effects that have been fashionable of late. In the depart ment where cretonne is sold one may buy a yard or two of striped ere tonne on which are medallion figures representing plate and tumbler doilies and large center piece, all to match, with a scalloped edge and festoon floral design. The cretonne may be spread on the table as it is. or the .doilies and centerpieces cut out and used separately.

BLoUsEs OF VELVET.

Velvet is so popular this winter that 1t is not surprising to find this ma teriaa used in separate blouses. They are often of the Russian variety, go- ing, on over the head, and untrimmed except for an embroidered band down the front and a girdle or cord at the waist line. Some other blouses which go under the skirt or show only tiny peplum are of velvet in the soft panne or chiffon weave. They have chiffon or Georgette crepe sleeves and are quite tailored in appearance
