Trimmings Are Gorgeous.

The cities and people of the East,
from Port Said to Yokohama, and
from peasant to king, apparently have
been put under the miscroscope this
season by designers of trimmings in
order to bedeck milady in manner
BETTING. The resultant offerings are
remarkable for their colorings, beauty
and variance. Chinese motifs have
been worked out In several ways, not
the least being in hand embroideries
while wool, silk and wool, and beaded
decorations embodying the designs and
colorings of India, Egypt and other
Eastern countries are offered in great
abundance. A great variety of novel
tassels is offered to buyers also. Many
of them make use of Eastern design
motifs, and all of them are selling like
the proverbial hot cakes.

Celery's MANY Virtues.

There is but little enlightenment af-
forded in the everyday culinary liter
allure on the many uses of that deli
cious plant known as celery. Proba-
bly, no other plant is so well adapted
to cooking In so many different styles
as celery, a vegetable that can also
be eaten raw.
There is hardly any other vegetable
of which every plant can be brought to
such good account. The trimmings
can be used for flavoring purposes, or
for soup and broth, while the seeds are
carefully preserved for similar uses,
or to produce celery salt, which In it
self forms an ideal table condiment.

NEW POSTAL RATES.

It is well to remember that the new postal rates go into effect tomorrow. This change will require the placing of a three cent stamp upon first class mail for each ounce or fraction thereof and the spending of two cents in the mail ing of a post card. Where letters are to be delivered in the postal district where mailed the old rate holds good however. Later on there are other changes which will become effective on parcel post and on second class matter.
 That there will be some curtailment of mail because of the advance is to be expected. How great it will be it is impossible to figure, but it is plan ned that there will be many millions cf added revenue secured by the gov ernment for the purpose of war ex- penses. That is the only reason why the increase in the rates can be ac- cepted without stronger opposition for it means that the whole country is bound to make small contributions which when summed up will amount to tidy sum.
 In this connection it is of interest that the postoff1ce department has re- gently reported a profit for the past year of about se.000,O00. That of course means a profit according to the way the department books are kept which differs so radically from the method of bookkeeping used in ordi- nary business that it amounts to ,it- rle. In fact as long as the existing method is used it will be impossible to tell whether the department is act ually making ends meet or not in spite of what appears to be a large amount on the right side of the ledger ie, 1Ia ever, it would appear that there was an admirable opportunity fer putting tt all right back into the business for the betterment of the service.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOl
Fair Plays Position.

Mir Editor: Last week J. H. Cum mings disgustedly announced that he was through with the bunch but he appears to have reconsidered that excellent resolution and is ''all het up" over an alleged charge of disloy atty and loudly calls for proofs. Now did not charge MT Cummings with disloyalty. I stated that the contro- versX which has been carried on for the past three years between himself and various correspondents of The Bulletin had been kept alive by his pro- German attitude and his attacks upon England. I will let those of The Bulletin readers who have read his letters decide whether or not he has been an upholder of Germany until the United States entered the war and also whether he has not since then been constantly casting slurs up- on England, either directly or indi rectly
 MT. Cummings can make the most of this statement. He may have heard the old saying that "a hit bird always dutters.''
 Now at present our country. in com- mon with a number of others. is en- gagged in desperate struggle to de- termine whether the ruling force in the world shall be democracy or inn perialism Of the Potsdam type. One of our allies in this struggle is Eng war victorious we shall suffer in com mon with our allies. Now it does not seem to me that the highest type of patriotism. in such crisis consists in attacking one of our strongest all lies.
 I have no apology to offer to !. H. Cummings or anyone else who has up- held the nameless and innumerable atrocities which Germany has com mitted in this war.
 He will probably come back with a lot Of that courteous and gentle manly language which he always en1 plovs in debating with his opponents.
 However that may be. think he fully understands my position and sentiments and the discussion Is ter minated herewith as far as I am con- ccrned.
 Respectfully,

day at which government representa- tives, breeders and others interested throughout New England will gather for the purpose of discussing the stimulation of sheep raising in this part of the country. It will be an op- pertunity to review and discuss the drawbacks which are always referred tc whenever the subject of sheep rais- ing is brought up. but there should also be aroused a deeper realization of the necessity of meeting the re- quirements in this direction. The ob- stacles can be overcome and with the margin of profit offered through pre- vailing conditions the chance of get ting much more out of their invest ment ought to be eagerly accepted by those who are in a position to do so. It is to be hoped that the conference will be able to accomplish all that is desired

Never again." declared the young married woman. shall l trust in my powers of intuition, my common sense cr my presence of mind! And as for my nerves they are still jumpy! The next time I get married I shall not marry a man whose brother has charge of an expensive, exclusive in- sane asylum!
 we stopped to make a family call on this doctor brother-in-law while we were out motoring last week and tke deorman asked us to wait in the reception room, because the doctor was very busy at that moment with new patient. Lawrence said he wanted to wander around and ex- plore, so I settled myself in com fortable chair. I'll be back soon, Ed through the door.

 There sat man, beaming at me. He was fat man and his coat ana collar were off, his face was red and his hair was rumpled. I never had laid eyes upon him in my life and there he was srirning at me as though he were my bes: friend.
 "Why, of course, I knew right away that he was ar insane man; either one who had escaped from the nurses or had been abandoned by whatever person had brought him there- Such things have happened He sat be- tween me and the door. Through my dazed mind f1oated all the scraps Of information I had ever read or heard about humoring insane people. Humor them--humor them keep them calm! I must keep this man ca Inn to save my life, I managed a smile. Why, how do you do!' I said faintly in his direction.

 Its a terrible thing to have a fat, red faced man call your husband a fellow I felt somehow that I was not doing my duty by Lawrence in not ob- jecting. but I looked at the size of tEe mans hands and stopped right there. 'Wh-why. that's my husband!' I told him. At once he frowned and my knees shook. I had irritated hir. and heaven alone knew what wol a. happen. I hastened to palliate my offense. B-but, I stammered I haV not been married v-v-very long!'
 Then he exploded. I shd hope not,' he boomed. I sh'd hope not! For the love a Pete, what'd you do it for? Wasn't Oscar enough? Th:Sk a Oscar! Whadyuh do with him, anyhow?

 Truly, that man is no friend of ours. Truly. he belongs upon the other side, with our enemies. For everything he does to impede us helps them. Every move he makes that renders us more ineffective makes them more effective. Only fool could argue such a point. I don't know whether Senator La Toilette. Morris Hillquit. Justice Co., halan, George Sylvester Viereck ct als are Judas Iscariots, Benedict Arnolds or Harry Kendall Thaws. I don't care which they are. But I know they are a menace to the American nation. And I ask you is it fair to allow these men to ply their rotten trade among the American people while. at the same time. the American people are sending their boys to the front to fight their open enemies?

possessions.
 Relief work by the American Relief began in January, 191s, and is still going on and growing in extent and importance. The Russian gov ernment has helped the refugees gen. present nearly S1o,o00,G0o This sup pied them with food, paid their rent and made it possible to provide for 5000 orphans, but owing to the f1n- ancial difficulties of the government this aid is now cut off.
 The American committee has given clothing and bedding to. 5a,00o of the most needy refugees and has also pro- vided large quantities of tea, sugar, kerosene and fuel where most needed. During the summer of 1916 the wark Of repatriation was undertaken and hundreds of farmers were returned to their homes in the province of Van and supplied with oxen. blows, seed work, however, was interrupted by the evacuation of that region by the Rus s;ans in August 1916 and the commit tee has decided that the time for re- after final victory over. the Turks has been won.
 Among the refugees are compara- lively few men as more of them than of women and children fell in the massacres. As a result there are in the Caucasus today 10000 fatherless children in need of immediate aid. Of tkese the American committee is all ready helping 5000 by giving them a small monthly grant for food in their homes.
 Fifteen thousand more appeal for similar help but no funds are avail now organizing an orphanage for 300 boys in Erivan. Boys of good intelli- gence and sound physique will be talk en in with a view to quick training in trades, farming and education. These boys will be prepared to act as lead ere along these lines and fitted to talae the place of tie artisans, industrial leaders and teachers who were kiI ed.
 .tOf the seo, 900 refugees in the Cau- casus and the conquered provinces of Turkey. 2500e3 are without employ nsent and dependent on charity. The committee has begun work in spin ming and weaving, giving employment girls. The moral effects of work are very noticeable. The life of a refu- gee with nothing to do but stretch out his hand for charity is extremely de- moraHzing and discouraging. Many Of the women: to whom the commit tee is giving work come on foot from places as distant as 10 to 13 miles and say what they value most is not the money they earn but the mental and spiritual relief employment brings them-
 Great gratitude is expressed for the aid sent from America. It seerGs to them very wonderful that coun- try so, far away and so entirely with out any politica, aspirations in those regions should make such large con tributions to relieve their sufferings. The prestige Of America has been enormously increased by this disinter- ested philanthropy.
 "The AmericaI committee has at no time taken up the question of the political future of Armenia, but if the statesmen who have to deal with this question after the war secure for. the Armenians and Syrians and other small nations such degree of liberty as will insure safety to life. honor and property. they will have done more than simple justice demands"
