CANNOT DISREGARD RIGHTS.

Just because the practice of arning merchant vessels dates back to the time when there were pirates the claim Is being made by some that 1t was intended solely for dealing with such people and that being the case it ought not to be applied in the present con- troversy. Such might be we'll enough as an argument if 1t was a fact that the provision of international law was adopted solely for that purpose, but just because it took place in the days of pirates does not mean that it was not intended to apply to all cases where merchantmen were unlawfully interfered with.
 The arming of the ships for defen- siye purposes applies to all cases where the rights of vessels, as estab- lished under the agreement of nations. are violated when they are engaged in lawful commerce. It is folly to SUD- pose that any country is going to cast such rights aside because another na- ton engaged fin war but with which it is at peace indicates that it is going to deliberately assume the privilege of disregarding its obligations simply because 1t is the only way in which it can make it's submarine warfare ef- fective.
 To subscribe to such course would place this country in Q most humili- Rting position. No such weakness ought to be expected in any case and especially after promises have been made that liners will be warned and humanity protected. Even though there are no pirates now the proposed action of Germany shows the neces- stty of tho international law which gives merchantmen the right to de- lend themselves against illegal acts. This country cannot disregard it's Tights in that respect and 1t would be Illogical to try to force others to do DO.

THE WEDDING FAVOR.

With the revival of the net wedding veil ruched with white satin or looped with pearls comes the wedding favor, pretty attention to the nearest relatives of the contracting parties"
 All the women relatives of the bride and bridegroom wore at a recent wed- ding rose poisies, which labeled them, according to their special shade of pink, members of his or hers. Some of the posies were ~~ fixed on to the muffs of their wearers and others nestled below the neck on the fur, while the old fashioned methods of tuclzing them into the coat found sev- eral followers

A SMART COAT,

A smart topcoat of dark blue gabar- dine seen a short while ago was a combination of the Directoire and Louis XIV. period. It was cut away above the waist line in front, while the back and sides of the coat ex- tended to witnrn a few inches of the skirt. The coat was fastened far to one side with fiat bone buttons, and the broad turned down collar was lined with china blue silk. The sleeves were cut in one with the coat and were, finished with fared cuffs of gabardine.

RECIPES.

Ralibut with Sauee-Halibut with Hollandaise sauce is cheap and simple enough to make. Clean a slice of hal ibut brush 1t over with melted butter, sprinkle with salt, pepper and onion juice, put it in a baking pan, cover with paper and bake fifteen minutes. So much for the fish itself. To make the sauce, put a half tablespoonful of vinegar and the yolks of two eggs into a saucepan, and set this into larger pan of boiling water. Stir it quickly with Q wire spoon, gradually adding three quarters of a cupful of butter. When the sauce thickens, remove from the fire and add a few grains of cay enne and salt.
 Stuffed Beef-Take a slice of round steak, not too thick, salt and spread with a good dressing. If the slice is large enough it can be rolled like a jelly roll, otherwise bring the edges together. Sew securely, brown well on all sides in a buttered spider. Lay in kettle and boil or simmer slowly with a little water til tender, turning oc- casionally. Be careful not to break open; there will be a rich brown gravy. Have one meal hot and the rest cold. Cut in slices.

WIRED CUFF AT HIP,

Everywhere things are fiaring-that is, so far as fashion is concerned. Tn keeping with it's f1aring hem one dress has been fitted with a wired cuff at the hip line. The gown ttself is of dark blue silk poplin. EncircIfng the hips is a band of black ribbon which has been stitched on lower edge and wired at the top so that 1t stands away from the dress. Another fea- ture of the gown was the flare of the cuffs. Lining them were ruffIas of lace which added a bouffant effect.

American women do not like a dark color close against the face, and even the dictum of the French designers cannot force them to accept this unbe- coming fashion. So, inside the high dark collar frequently appears one of white or cream lace or sheer stuff that is infinitely more dainty.

and then rebuild them every few years, The other is to build them properly and then keep them in repair. The first method might be described as the American way. We spend big sums in macadamizing, then look at the re- suit and pronounce 1t good, and promptly turn to something else. In three or four or five years, we discover to our surprise that the highway is in wretched condition, so we proceed to do the same costly work all over again. And it's much the same with city paw ing. Petaluma, Cal, is planning to change al this. It is a small commun- ity, but it has the right ''hunch.' It is going to hire a first class road mender and put him in charge of the macadamizied city streets. That mans job will be simply to keep an eye out for chuck holes, and fill them up. That's the European method. The highways of England, France, Ger many, Switzerland, etc, are far better than ours, not because they are so much better built, but because along every road, at regular intervals, filling holes and keeping the roadway smooth and properly drained.-Waterbury Democrat.
