A Hair Ribbon idea.

There are some little girls who still
cling to the hair ribbon, usually be
tween the ages of eight and twelve. af-
ter the bob and before they think 1t
time to put up their hair. And these
same little girls like dashing things in
hair ribbon, especially for dress-up
time. What about embroidering them,
then? Lovely things can be done with
hair ribbons. On dainty white, blue
and pink backgrounds pretty sprays of
siIken flowers will be appropriate for
party sets, hair-ribbons and sashes to
wear over the light wash frock Of ba-
tiste or net. On darker ribbons bright
er and more conventional motifs will
be in order. Maybe the little girl will
like to do this embroidering herself,
If the ends of the ribbon are shaped.
preferably rounded, they may be but
tonholed or blanket-stitched and would
not have TO be trimmed OFF as the usu-
al ribbon continually ravels out.

Unless the June bride has her wed
ding procession pictured in her own
mind, down to the last detail, she Is
likely to have some anxious quarter
hours pondering the subject OF her
bridesmaids millinery. Now is the
time to decide the matter. for June
will soon be here and those enterpris-
ing and capable people who anticipate
all millinery needs have launched mid
summer hats that almost sing the we'd

their merits and select any one of
them there Is no chance Of making a
mistake, for these are all exquisite eI-
amples Of summery headwear suited
to the bridal cortege.

to make up picturesque model seems
very inadequate as a description of it.
But 1t Is the delicate beauty of geor-

any of the fashionable colors. A scarf
Of mslines is worn with 1t.
Just below at the left there is
little poke bonnet Of leghorn straw,

On February 10. 1868. there was
signed one of the most momentous
treaties ever concluded in the history
of the world: for 1t not only decided
whether the Latin or the Anglo-SaNon
race should be supreme in North
America. not only deposed France
from her position of colonial power
of the first rank, but 1t ended war
which had taught the American col
onies to think, act and feel for them
selves in terms of distinctive national
ity, had laid the foundations for the
American Revolution and developed
the genius of George Washington.
Unlike the other wars which had
disturbed the American colonies and
called upon the colonists to shed their
blood in backing up some European
quarrel In which they had no inter
est. this war was begun in the Amer
lean wilds over American questions.
and Its main theater of action was
american soil. 1t is known in Amer
lea as the French and Indian war.
French and English Quarrel.
Scarcely was the ink dried on the
Treaty of Aix-la- -Chapelle when the
French and English began to quarrel
over the boundaries of that indefinite
region of Arcadia" which had been
ceded to England by the Treaty of
Utrecht. On the Ohio land company
claimed under n charter from George
II vast stretches of land which the
French claimed lay in French terri
tory. The governor of Canada sent
military force from Montreal to
drive out the English settlers and es-
tablish posts. The governor of Vir-
gInia decided to send ''person of dis
tinction" TO inquire into this. and Sc
lected George Washington. then twen-
ty-one years of age. The French com
mandant declared he would hold his
ground.
The next spring Washington went
out with an expedition to build a fort
ct the junction of the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers where now is
Pittsburgh. Reaching the Great
Meadows he learned of the approach
Of a French force and attacked it.

AS is being proved now, II is a sim
pier thing to start war than to end
one-a more complicated matter to
take such a show off the stage than
to put It on"
The surrender of CORVALLIS in Oc-
tober OF 1871 practically ended the
war of the American Revolution; but
1t was not until September 3. of 1888.
nearly two years later, that the de-
finitive treaty of peace was signed at
Paris. Almost all the intervening time
was spent in negotiations. Franklin.
John Adams. Jay and Laurens had been
sent to Paris TO be ready for the for
mutation Of peace. All sensible Brit
ish statesmen were convinced that the
independence of the colonies was an
accomplished fact: but the king. and
the reactionaries with whom he had
surrounded himself, were stubbornly
bent on continuing the war. 1t was
proposed to make 1t war of posts"
as the futility Of transporting anoth-
er great army to America was appar-
ent. Gibraltar was besieged by the
Spanish and the success of the Ameri-
can arms had inspired Holland to break
off relations with England in the very

the guise Of neutrality to form league.
Nothing Succeeds Like Success.
England wanted peace and America
wanted peace, the question was who
should make the first move. At last
General Conway. on Washingtons
birthday. February % of 1882. made
motion in the house of commons
against continuing the war. 1t was
lost by one vote. but carried FIVE days
later by majority Of 10. This meant
the downfall of the ministry and the
formation of new one favorable to
peace. Rickinghams ministry came in
on March 20. Lord Shelburne was
secretary of state for the home de-
partment and Charles James Fox for
foreign affairs Now, If America was
independent, peace with America was
matter for Fox to handle-if 1t
wasn't, the task belonged to Shell
burne. Franklin saw two strings to
his bow and wrote to the home minis
ter, preferring to deal with the Machl-
avellian Shelburne than with the chau-
whistle Fox. Shelburne quietly sent
Richard Oswald over to Paris. Frank
lin was alone. Adams was in Holland
negotiating a loan; Jay had gone to

released on parole and had gone to

ence with the Penobscot as the east
ern boundary of the new nation. Frank
lin wrote to Jay to come back from
Spain saying, "She has been for four
years considering whether she will
treat with us--let her take forty"
Fox got wind of what was going on
and sent over Mr.. Grenville with the
proposition that the independence of
the United States should be granted,
but to France! A proposition reject
ed by both Franklin and France.
Treaty Of Paeification.
King Louis and his government were
filled with anger when they heard of
the signing of this treaty In which
they had not been allowed to meddle.
But they calmed down and on Septem-
ber of the next year. nine months
after Franklin's treaty, a "Treaty of
Pacification" between Spain, France
and England was signed.
Franklin's treaty became effective:
Conquests made by France and Eng
land during the war were exchanged: ::
Tobago and the Sengal river were
ceded to France. Pondicherry (French
lndia) was enlarged. Spain was con-
firned In her possession of Florida and
Minorca. Holland recovered all her
possessions except Negapatam in India
In the boundary negotiations Great
Britain insisted that the western line
OF the United States should be the AL
leghenies. The Americans replied In
effect:
Gen. George Rogers Clark in 177s-9
captured Kaskaskla and Vincennes and
took possession Of the illinois coun.
try We have been In possession ever

time and patience is saved by this
simple device, for one can see at a
glance just what the bag contains.
An Embroidery Hint.
When making the round holes for
eyelet embroidery put piece of soap
under the fabric, and allow the still
etto to pierce through 1t. When the
stiletto is withdrawn 1t will, being
soapy, impart slight stiffness TO the
material, which facilitates the making
of very even, perfect embroidery.

To Make Sewing Silk Run Evenly.
When the silk thread on the ma

causes it to tighten around the spin
die, cut piece of blotting paper or
thick cloth, make a hole in the CEN
ter and slip on the spindle before the
spool, and you will have no more trou-
BILE.
Cutting Bias Bands
An excellent way to cut and point
bias bands is in the following man
ner: With a ruler and something
which will mark the cloth-chalk for
dark colors and a hard pencil for
lght are good If not used too heavily
mark the bands on the material.
Then carefully join the two ends of
the cloth so that the chalk lines ex-
actiy meet, only have the first line
on one end meet the second on the
other thus forming a spiral. Stitch
on the machine; then with a needle
and thread put few secure stitches
each side of the marks to stay the
stitching. With sharp scissors begin
at the place where the first band ex-
tends beyond the second, and cut
round and round, following the chalk
line, until the whole Is cut into one
piece all perfectly Joined.
An Economical Way to Braid.
A simple and economical way to
braid is to trace the design on tissue
paper, then baste to the material that
is TO be braided. Proceed to sew on
the braid, sewing through both paper
and material, until the design has been
all covered with the braid, after which
Semove the paper by carefully tear
ing 1t off. The paper is a protection
to delicate material while braiding,
although it works equally as well on
dark material.
An excellent substitute for button
.holing is found in the use of the ia
:miliar coronation braid. 1t may be
whipped along any edge where but
fonhol'ng is commonly used. This is
suggested for garments made of in
expensive material for general use.
