BRAID BINDING.

There are three ways of applying braid or tape as edge trimming-en- tirely by hand, entirely by machine and by combination of hand and machine work. In each case care must be taken to lease" the braid with the left hand as the work proceeds in order to avid shrinkage in wash material and puckering in silk CT wolen goods. Braid invariably shrinks in laundering mora than other material.
 When the application is to be made by hand alone place the braid on the right side of the material close to the edge and backstitch the two together. The stitching should lie very near the edge, but not near enough to cause fraying.
 After the backstitch is completed fold in half and crease the braid and hem it down on the wrong side of the ma terial. The braid should just cover the backstitching on the wrong side and the hemming run close to it.
 Tn the combination method the pro- stitching is done on the machine. In the machine work special care must be taken to keep the braid sufficinetly lax, To do the work by machine alone fold the braid in half. place the material between the folded halves and haste carefully; then with one stitching on the machine in the three thicknesses

HAY AND PEACE

In asking for Plume and Dalmatia. Italy seeks the control of both sides of the Adriatic, and in endeavoring to get that it apparently doesn't have much faith in the peace of the future. Its action seems to imply the fear that Jugoslavia will become a menace on land and sea and that the only way to prevent it is to shut it off from getting in touch with the rest of the world much the same as Serbia was isolated In the past.
 In its attitude Italy is thus treating it's former ally, Serbia. as if it was an enemy and instead of working for a peaceful neighborhood is by it's action only laying the foundation for future trouble. If all those to be included in Jugoslavia could be considered nc different than as if they were Aus trians, there might be less to be said against the Italian claims, but great number of the Jugoslavs fought against the dual monarchy and Ger many and it is probable that many more would have if they could, al though it is to be understood that il the aims of Italy in regard to the Jug oslav territory had not been SC fully recognized those who did fght with Austria would have done SC with less interest.
 It can thus he realized that for Italy to reach out as it desires to and takt tn nfume and Dalmatia means in. creasing rather than alleviating tho unrest in the Balkan region, and whe, Jugoslavia, which means Serbia, i! entitled to an out1et to the sea tn, same as Poland is.

PREVENTING RESORT TO LYNCH.
 ING

Whether the way in which criminal
 cases are handled has anything to do
 with the mob spirit is well disclosed
 by two recent cases, one in Maryland
 and the other in Arkansas. The ac-
 cused in each case was a Negro. In the Maryland instance the accused was on trial for attacking a girl when he managed to escape from jail over night. Feeling which naturally ran high was greatly increased. The sen timent in behalf of lynching which had been kept under cover before and during the trial was naturally in creased and there was fear that when the Negro was apprehended he would i be summarily dealt with Recogniz- ing the situation the judge and the attorney for the accused not only gave good counsel and took prominent part in edecting his capture but they serYed 10 calm the heated mob, and ] proceeded immediately not only to insure his protection when returned to | the jail but to do everything possible { to speed up the trial and see that ! justice was done. The law has been i respected in all particulars and the accused stands today sentenced tc 1 death.
 l The Arkansas case was somewhat different for the Negro had been ac- cused Of killing another Negro Much 1 feeling was manifested although there was disposition to allow the law tc | take it's course. When, however, il
 was decided that there should be q postponement of the case, it was i'm possible to restrain the lynchers anC
 they made quick work of getting holt of the accused. stringing him up to 6 pole and defying the law. That hC
 would have been put to death after
 the trial was held is not improbable il view of the evidence claimed. but tht unwillingness to accept the delays O the law caused the rights of the ac. cused to be defied and the law disre garded. Thus it is not improbable that the speeding up of the work 0 the courts would do much toward re

 If paraffin is used to grease cake tins the cake will not strik.
 Cold sauce or fruit added to junllet makes a pleasant change.

CHANGING SHIP PROGRAMME E.

By the action of the shipping board in asking for bids upon other vessels owned by the government, following the disposal of 15 or more even though bids submitted upon smaller number have been declined because too low and others asked for, indicates that the policy of getting the shipping into private hands as fast as possible, where it can be accomplished without too great sacrifice, is to be carried out Whether the proper encourag cement will be given in the way of better leg islation remains to be seen.
 That the government does not in- tend to carry out the ship construc- tion programme in keeping with the war time conditions is indicated by the announcement to the effect that contracts calling for two million tons of shipping have been cancelled and it is probable that there will be more It is fully recognized that the ships which have been built cannot be dis posed of now for what they cost. The same will be the case with others which are built under contracts which were made while the war was in prog ress. Thus if the contracts were to be carried out it would mean a loss perhaps of a fifth of the construction cost, and this the shipping board vel realizes should be overcome.
 That there is need for ships, and probably as many as the government has contracted for, is not to be ques toned. But if they can be construct ed cheaper now that the war is over and can be built on lines which vii better suit the shipping needs it is certainly time that this change was made in the shipbuilding programme There can be little question but what the shipbuilding plants will finG plenty of business in the way of new vessels but there appears to be nc reason why such should continue tc be carried on through the government when it is well understood that it is going to mean a loss to the govern ment and therefore a needless ex- DenSe

Cairo,

Cairo, where mob attacks upon the British soldiers have brought about a critical situation, is described in a bulletin from the National Geograph- ical Society, which follows:
 Cairo, Queen of the Nile Valley the Paris of the Levant,' or the diamond stud on the handle of the fan of the Delta, as your imagination prefers has about the population of Boston, a rec ord of disorders that makes Bolshevism a nouveau- anarchy, and a pictures queness all it's own.

NEW SILHOUETTE.

As it seems almost decided that the leading style in the new spring suits shall be the straight hanging, boxcoat or it's notifications and the rather long extremely slender skirt. so does it seem that spring coats shall be loosely hang ing in some part and good majority are either modified capes or made on the dolman sleeved wrap idea.
 Collars are varied, ali adjustable and most of them are very large and are crushed or draped in some way when closed. If there is a belt at all it is usually quite narorw and many times I only an inch wide tie. And buttons there are any number of them, but they are no used for fastenings.
 They are used in prim straight row for trimming and many coats and wrap depend upon the belt or tie sash to keep them sufficiently closed
