ed, for practical women rea1izei hat it is an extravagance to spend money on embr oidery materials to let them lie in the sewing basket unfinished for weeks, perhaps months.
 The centerpiece shown here is un- usually desirable because aside from it's beautiful effect, it works up very quickly It is g inches in diameter and cross-stitch is used exclusively in it's development. The roses may be carried out in two shades of red or rose and the leaves in two shades of green, while the row of connecting crosses, as well as those scattered through the border are most effective done in one shade of blue. One is al- lowed the utmost liberty in finishing the edges of the centerpiece. If it is being worked up hurriedly. cluny lace makes a pretty finish. If hand-work is to be used exclusively, buttonholed scallops would give the eenterpiece a beautiful edge. There are many pret- ty new scallop designs shown this sea

and cuffs, three yards of edging will be required.
 By cutting the front and back of the waist on the lengthwise fold of ma terial, seams are omitted. In order to do this, place tLe triple '"TTT'' per forations of the pattern along length wise fold, as sh wn in the cutting guide. The collar is also placed on the lengthwise fold, single ''T'' instead of triple '"TTT'' perfor ations indicat- ing the position. The sleeve, cuffs, waistband eFd piecing are all laid on a lengthwise thread of the crepe de chine.
 The question of getting into the waist is solved in the first step of the waist construction. Slash through the fold at center-front of waist from up- per edge to large 70" perforation. Ga ther front on shoulder between '"T'' perforations. Close under-arm and shoulder seams as notched. Gather waist at lower edge between ''T'' per forations. Sew waistband to lower | edge of waist with center-fronts even; bring end of waistband to center back and bring small 70" perforation to under-arm seam. Fold waistband

used on frock of crepe Georgette that speaks fgurativeIy in solid circles of brown on a ground of satin-figured bisque Voile. A dainty blouse and skirt compose the costume, but the blouse is sleeveless and open at the front, showing much of a wonderfully soft guimpe in bisque batiste with hemstitched vest and flare sleeves. Wide bands of braid woven in block design form a fashionable. feature Of trimming on many frocks in summer materials. Flesh pink chiffon cloth is employed in the development of a par ttcularly smart dress, the braid bor- dering the extended sides of the skirt arranged to form great pockets. Tn narrower effect the braid finishes the round neck of the blouse, which is at tached to the skirt under a belt of satin in self-color. With the toilette is worn B charming hat of pink crepe de chine trimmed only with a ruff1e of cream lace stitched along the edge of the brim.
 Accessories count for more than ever this season, and are shown in greater variety. New and growing in favor are the very deep collars of ac- cordion plaited Geo1 gette and chiffon cloth used upon one-piece frocks of severely simple design. Those collars are expensive if bought ready made, and can be duplicated successfully by home dressmG1ers by spending a few cents to have the material pIaited by professional One finds every where the little shops where a special ty is made of plating, Lem-stitching, etc Another novelty that is away out of ic ha ha1 of ct broidered with fine silk soutache braid or the heaviest possible rope silk. Wound around the figure and secured with a buckle of plain design but good quality a belt of embroidered net leaves nothing to be desired in the detail of a summer costume.
 The new bathing costumes are fit ting companions for other modes of summer, following all of the approved lines and repeating many of the dis tinctive decorative ideas. It is quite possible to make the bathing suit at home if one wishes to achieve unusual results and has the time and inclina- tion. Certainly it is far more econo- mical, for the advance models are of ten prohibitive in price.
 Navy blue jersey, frightened by touches if figured tub satin, is used for 8 G tune that is exceedingly. smart and {. the same time practical. The suit is il. blouse effect and but tons from bus line to hem. Fri1ls of the satin finis | the lower edges of the bloomers and il used for the collar and sleeve trimr ng The cap is also of satin, rubber lineC.
 Black taffeta antS satin are extreme 1y smart for bathing costumes. A de sign that makes a s.rong appeal to the ''sun-burnni stylish as someone has ichristened devotees of the sea, has the skirt trimmed with Urge tucks, while the round neck and ,leeves are out lined with bias folds C white satin. The string belt e1so is of white satin. Many swin ners are forsa Iing bloom CTS in favor of swimming tights, not only because the tights are uore com fortab1e, but because they ennance the slender effect.

 Now, close seams of sieve and cuff "A" as notched leaving the cuff seam free below the small 70" perforation and finish for closing. Gather sleeve at lower edge between 'fT'' perfora- tions. Sew cuff "A'' to sleeve as not ched; bring small %" perforation in cuff to seam nf sleeve and bring seam in cuff to small 70" perforation in sleeve Sew turnback cuff to lower edge of cuff "A" with notches and edges even and tack the edges even at the small %" perforation. Sew sleeve in armhole with notches and small 70" perforations even easing in any fulness between notches. Hold the sleeve toward you when basting | it in the armhole.

able that the next few months will see revival of several style features that were exploited a half century or so ago. This, however, is a matter of speculation rather than prophecy. If one were compelled to declare the three commandments of the seasons fashions, the logical reply would be simplicity, smartness and good taste
 The blouse carries all before it, whether separate or en costume. Not only is it worn becomingly by women of slender figure, but by those to whom Nature has been more generous If stamped with a chic simplicity and relieved of as many divisions as pos sible without leaving it bean-bag, the Russian blouse or it's by-products may be affected with success by stout -WO- men.
 Eminently suited tc the taste of the fastidious is a blouse in plaid voiIe with a delicate floral design winding its way through the blocks of the plaid. The color scheme is pink, green and blue, with just enough black in the vertical lines for balance" Now that they have been released from a subdued bondage, plaids are doing their share to prove that this is a sea- son of color. The round neck of the design in question Is modestly bound with fold of self-materiaI and this idea is repeated in the finish of the elbow-length sleeves. The adjustment, at the left side, is accentuated by a trimming of five black satin buttons ar ranged in double rows and looped with tiny links of soutache. About the waist a belt of black satin is artistical- ly wound the knotted ends falling at will down the front of the blouse. The skirt is a straight two-piece model, gathered at the waist.
 Women who are not enthusiastic over the heightened skirts will find famous authority for continuing with the two-inch-below shoe-top variety, for some of the smartest dressmakers of Paris, including Callot Soours, are sponsoring the latter. A model that is a compromise between the two is

A Soup Suggestion,

In families where some kind of soup is required each day, it is hard to ring the changes as regard flavor and var iety, and if the family is large it is no small item of the days cooking. One housekeeper has satisfactorily solved this problem by the use of canned soups, which are excellent in flavor and can be had in a large variety. She adds one can of the prepared soup to a pot Of sup stock each day. This makes palatable nourishing course, varying according to the kind used tomato, vegetables, celery, asparagus, pea, mulligatawny, etc.,-aud requir- ing the minimum amount of trouble for its preparation.

The modifying touch of time has had its effect also on the British national au- them, and, as it was sung in front of St. Paul's cathedral during the peace ceIobra tion, the first verse invoked a bIcssmI on the king, the second on the land, and the third on everybody, Ut is to be noticed, > comments The Times of London, "that there is in 1t less about the king and more about ourselves, and even the natural seen cry of our domicile than before; and our taste and sense of cOngruity will have ul- timately to decide whether this mixture of motives is calculated to make the same di- rect appeal as the former single one" The Times, in fact, likes the old version better: "'while compEmenting the latest reviser on the tact and gentility of his effort, we still retain preference for the hearty if ruder, original" The new version has been ap- proved by the king; but apparently time and circumstances must yet show whether it is approved by the people, for whom in the "hearty, if ruder' singing the king stood as a symbol

Porter J. McCumber Is one member of the senate foreign relations committee who cannot be accused of allowing his opinions upon the league of nations to be determined by party interest. His minority report, therefore, commands respect that the re port of the republican majority did not command and did not deserve, and has a significance that the report of the demo- cratic minority, as such, could not have.

WHO PAYS THE RAISE?

The change produced in every phase of national life by the war could not be more strikiugIy illustrated than by the announce ment of railway companies that they will immediately take steps to secure authority from the intercstate commerce commission to raise all existing freight tariffs about p per cent It is probably the first time since the establishment of rate regulating bodies by the United States government that the compaincs have been 50 bold in their state ments and it is surely the first time that they have indicated so great an advance, altho the roads under federal control did make a 9 per cent advance more than a year ago.
 Before the war, the roads would have pussyfooted around giving out cvasive statements, if any at all, and probably have screwed their couraget up to ask the com mission for permission to raise rates ten per cent expecting to get about half of that amount, and not much surprised if they weren't turned completely down. Now, be- fore they even get their properties back, they calmly and cooIIy announce that they must have a ? per cent raise. And ap- parentIy expect to get nothing less.
 And why shouldn't they do so Every body else is doing the same thing First one industry and then another boosts its tariffs a little. This union and that one st1. or threaten to do so. and are advanced in wages and required to work shorter hours and fewer days The railroad workers want more money than the federal administla- tion of railway admits it cannot pay and keep the roads breaking even at the present tariff rates It is only surprising that the companies are so moderate in their request when there is no law or custom that pre- vents them from asking for 50 per cent increase in rates.
 The circle is a vicious one. Shorter hours to produce less goods to do less work and for more money. Hand in hand the trusts and unions, as if by agreement, limit production. The more they fight each oth- CT the higher go prices. Capital and labor, highly organized, plunder the unorganized public.
 The public has been the goat long enough. It's representatives are in confer ence at Washington now, following the withdrawal of labor and capital from the national industrial conference. If these delegates devise some means of maintain ing industrial peace, if they are agreed that it will accomplish that, whether such means be agreeable to organized labor and capital or otherwise, the government should see to it that the scheme is carried out. Both capital and union labor have had their innings; it is time that the public, for you and me, the man who hasn't a walking delegate to tell the owner where to head in, to get little consideration.

The very drastic measure of punish ment which is being advocated by two deputies of the Pas de Calais as the only sufficient deterrent to profiteers is appa1- ently no new thing. It is, in fact, just a modern edition of a demand which was made some two thousand years ago and more in Athens, and acceded to. One of the brilliant orations of Lysias deals with this very subject of profiteering, and ad- vocates, with all the persuasiveness of the Greek orator, punishment by execution. The French press treats this proposal by the Pas de Calais deputies as something of joke, albeit an unpleasant one, Paris of today is not Athens two thousand and some hundred years ago, and as a French paper wisely remarks, "Once erect the guillotine and it would take a wise man to say whose head would escape the basket
