TnAT HRlsH QUESTION: STATED.

Winnipeg Telegram: The main out
lines OF the Irish question, after gen.
Grafton Of heated debate, have become
clear. The English people are willing
to give home rule to the whole of Ire
land, provided the two factions can
agree. Failing such an agreement,
the British people are willing to give
home rule to the part Of Ireland which
wants 1t, and to leave the rest, the

present form of government.

There are the only two alternatives.
And yet the Redmondites will have
neither Of them. They insist fatuous-
ly upon being granted an administra-
ton In which the majority would be
able to do as they pleased with a min
ority that, not without reason, sus-
poets and fears them. The making of
such demand is a mere exhibition of
unreason. For the imperial parliament
to yield to it, would be out of the
question. Why cannot the leaders of
the Irish people look the truth in the
face and accept the situation?

DAILY FASHION HINTS
LADIES' DRESS.
Rv Anahel Worthington.

Borrowed from the style Of mans
waistcoat is this good looking belt, with
its two tiny pockets and points. The waist
carries out the same idea, inasmuch as
there IL very little fuIness in it. The
narrow inset vest gives modified square
line at the neck which is very becoming to
most faces. The large collar, with its
points In front and back, harmonizes with
the design Of the belt and also with the
cuffs. A double row of buttons trims the
waist. The skirt win be no trouble at
all to make as it is . simSle two-gored
model, with the extra rulness disposed of
by means Of shallow plaits at front and
back. The dress lie marked by simplicity
and good style, and there will be no diff
Guilty in making it if the pattern is care
fully followed.
One may choose any one of various ma
terials which are suitable for this dress;
for instance, poplin, serge, eponge, CAB
ardine or fancy plaids. In wash materials
there is gingham, chambray, percale or
crepe. Collar, cuffs and belt might be of
fine white pique.
The ladies' dress pattern No 1904 is
cut in four sizes-36. 50, 40 and AZ inches
bust measure. Width at lower edge of
skirt is 31s yards. To make the 36-inch
size requires yards 36-ineh, yards A.
inch, 31s yards 36-inch contrasting ma
terial. All Of one material requires 51a
yards 36-inch, as yards 4z-inch, so yards
64.inch.
To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to
the office of this publication.
