NEW LINENS.

During the recent shortage of linen during the war, various substitutes in the way of tableeloths and napkins were put cut by enterprising manufac- turcrs, but the average housekeeper did the best she could with linens on hand, painstakingly alarming and mending worn and frayed fabrics, bid ing her time until linen should again be released by the government for heruse.
 The time has come and every day in the shops, one sees the thankful housewife bending over freshly arriv- ed supplies of tablecloths, napkins and towels, lingering with delight the smooth, beautiful texture and admir- ing the new patterns. Leaf effects are especially popular now and of these the handsomest is the oak leaf de- design.

usEs EoR rHE scREEM-

Ostensibly the screen is for the pur-= pose of hiding something, at least that is the common opinion, and be- cause of this belief it is often scorn- ed as unit of decoration. But this is entirely too bad, for as a bit Of hiding apparatus the screen has been misused. Its best use is a protec- tion either real or fancied.
 Thus you have the fire screen, which keeps the direct blast of the heat away and filters it evenly through the room. There is the light screen plac- ed in front of a lamp on the table or before a window. There is a screen of privacy, too, the one which shuts off one corner of 8 room into a semi private little nook.
 All of these things the decorator keeps in mind in using the screen, but another use, and more artistic one is made of the screen in considerg it as a furnishing unit. and that is for background. In this case the screen must be so lovely in itself that it is beautiful enough to display, as you would fine painting. Some of the eastern embroideries can be treat ed this way provided they fit into the decorative scheme of the room. Part ly folded at the back of a large chair. or behind a softly shaded lamp. such an arrangement is admirable. On the other hand, plain screen is a cer- tain color may serveCro set off a hand some piece of furniture that might melt into obscurity against the neu- tral wall of the room.
 The large screen should be used with the utmost discretion or it will prove large lot of unmanageable col or, especially in the small room. But the smaller light screen affords plen- ty or room for amateur experiment. It may be made of parchment. Or a framed piece of attractive cretonne. Sometimes bit of old embroidery a sampler or bit of painted silk can be transformed into one of those smaller screens and thus be practically pre- l served and enjoyed.

eITLoW GUILTY.

By the conviction of Benjamin Git low. charged with criminal anarchy, in the criminal branch of the su- preme court in New York state. it is made evident that that state at least has sufficient legislation with which to deal with those who are advocat- ing the foreefuI overthrow of our in- stitUtiens.
 Gitlew is a cutter in the clothing trade and had represented 8 New York city district in the state legis- lature. He is a socialist and belongs to that branch which favors direct action. In other words his ideas are such that he does not intend to be governed in his actions by the law. He apparently takes pride in the fact that he is a reyolutionist. He was an agitater and it was following the investigation of his efforts along this line that he was indicted .upon the charge on which he has now been convicted.
 That he was convicted could have caused no surprise. To Gitiow if must have been evident that there could be no other outcome. He knew what he was doing, he knew he was going contrary to the law and ad- mitted as much during the trial. In- asauch as he set forth that he would fight for his principles and sought no clemeHcy it may be that he will take no appeal, although such a course is to be doubted. How the case apnea1- cd to the jury is indicated by the short time necessary to reach a yer diet and there will be general appro- val of the statement of the trial jus tice who, thanking the jury for its verdict and the benefit it would be to the country and state, said. There must be right in this organized state to protect itself. If citizens who accept the benefit of an organized government do not recognize that the government that protects them can only be overthrown by lawful means then it is difficult to see how ciyili- zatten can be maintained.'s
 And Gitlew's case should be no diff. ferent than that of others who are or have been similarly engaged ir criminal anarchy.

SALES OF FOOT pEyIcEs.

Two of the chief reasons for the constant increase in sales of foot corrective devices in this country are said to be improper fitting by many of the clerks in the shoe stores and by the unwillingness Of many people to pay the present high cost of really good shoes The latter was held to be the greater reason of the two at the present time, the lower prices of many of the cheapest shoes tempting people to buy them regardless of their fitting and wearing qualities The result is not only weakened ankles from heels that quickly run over"-this was said to apply espe- eially to women-but swollen joints and broken arches resulting from i'm proper designing and manufacture and lack of support. where needed. While women were said to be the worst sufferers in this respect, men were said to be the quicker to seek relief through corrective devices.

THE TREATY TODAY.

Importance is attached to the bringing up of the, treaty in the sem ate today because of the possibilities there are of getting it out of the way by ratifying the document with res ervations. That there is a desire among the larger number of members of the upper house to get early action fs evident. That there is a different attitude taken toward the matter of reservation has been indicated b1 the efforts which have been made to get together on this phase of the matter, while it cannot fail to be ap- preciated that information which has come from abroad to the effect that Europe is not opposed to such reserva- tions as have been approved oy a majority of the senate is sufficient to wave aside the demands of those who have been insisting that the treaty be not changed even by crossing a "t~ or dotting an 'f."
 It will be remembered that at the time when the treaty came to vote that President Wilson by instruc- tions to the democratic senators pre- vented the approval of the reserva tiou programme He has been stand  ing persistently, and as some have said obstinately, against the Lodge reservations He has not apparently favored such a compromise plan as others of his party have approved but has repeatedly indicated that il would not be acceptable to the other na tens
 However, the Grey letter must have upset such a contention, it is found that the president in his latest note to Senator Hitchcock written early last month declares his opposition tC any reservation that will impair the obliga ton of this country under tht treaty terms for he considers it would chill our relationship with the nations with which we expect to be associated
 Such a stand is out of the question now, whatever may have been it: force when first taken. but it remain: to be seen whether the democratic senators will follow it blindly ol whether they will grasp tbe situation act on their own judgment and ent the matter by approving the treat! with reservations. reservations whicl other countries will not oppose.

THE LIFTED BLocKAnE.

Not so long ago the lifting of the Russian blockade and the opening of trade with the cooperative socie- ties of Russia was advocated, and the advocacy of 1t made such an appeal that the action was taken. It was pointed out that the trading with these societies did not mean a rec egniten Of the soviet government, that it was in fact the best means of aiding those who are opposed to the bolsheviki and that it would give the Rnti-bolsheviki the means and en- eouragement to fight bolshevism.
