While the war has wrecked some indus
tries In France, 1t has at the same time
created new ones and revived older crafts.
An excellent and interesting example Of
the latter is the art Of candlestick max
ing, which has taken on q new lease of
life. Even in some of the big towns there
are houses which are not supplied with
gas, where before the war petroleum or
spirit was used for lighting purposes. Now
that the. use of these issrestricted closely,
recourse has to be made to the old FASH

This Is true in the country especially,
where candlesticks are in great demand.
and everyone is buying them according to
his can or fancy. At first they wero
made Of copper. but when that metal be-
came scarce brass was employed. Some
of the modern examples have several
branches and are very artistic.
A domestic art metal worker at Ak,
who has specialized in this kind of work,
and . become quite q celebrity, has lust
constructed q series Of tail iron candle
sticka OF very solid proportions which can
hold several candles. They have been
critically inspected by art metal critics
and are claimed to be true works. Of art.

SIR HORACE PLUNKEU
HAS new IRISH PLAN

Dublin (by mail)-Sir Horace Punk
EFT, chairman Of the Irish convention.
has published a series of articles in the
Irish newspapers with the object of in
ducing the government to pass at once
a home rule act for Ireland upon the
lines of the majority report of the con-
vcntion.
Pending the putting int operation Of
the act, he suggested the establishment
of a purely Irish executive, composed
Of lei of all parties. and responsible
either to the Irish convention which
has not been formally dissolved, or to
the imperial government.
He appealed for the formation of a
middle party in Ireland Of moderate
men.
Sir Horace's plan was not received
with favor by any section. The Free
mans Journal. representing the Irish
party, objected to h formation of an
other Irish party on the ground that
Ireland has parties enough and that
its difficulties are Caused as much by
internal discussions as by external be-
trayals." John Sweetman, for many
Fem party and one of the few wealthy
men in it's ranks, wrote to say:
II cannot agree that England can
now settle the future government OF
ireland. She must now govern Ireland
despotically till the peace conference.
and it would be for her benefit to gov
ern us with a little common sense"
This view that nothing can be done
about home rule till the end Of the war
is also the view of the unionists, and
William Jellett, the most active Of the
irreconciled southern %unionists, has put

the same sense as John Sweetman.

Don Luis had spoken the truth.
Recognizing how greatly the
deaths Of Marie Fauville and Sau-
verand had altered the situation,
The considered it wise to move to
a place of safety. His excuse for
rot doing so before was that he
hoped to receive news of Florence
Levasseur either by letter or by
telephone. AS the girl persisted
in keeping silence, there was no
reason why Don Luis should risk
an arrest which the course of
events made extremely probable.
And in fact his anticipations
were correct. Next morning MAJ

Don Luis sprang from his seat,
