OF Canvas and Ribbon

It goes without saying that bags of
oil sorts are among those gifts that
are always welcome. There are many
new ones this year made Of coarse
canvas, or unbleached linen and
trimmed with narrow satin ribbon
and ribbon flowers. Baby ribbon may
be drawn through the interstices OF
the canvas. Drawing threads out OF
either the canvas or linen makes it
possible to weave wider. ribbons over
and under the remaining threads, IN
borders or ornaments. Flowers cut
from cotton or linen, in various col
ors, are applied to the linen bags and
buttonholed along their edges with
cotton floss or yarn. A case for hold
ing playing cards and a bag which
may be put to various uses are shown
above in gifts suited to either men
or women.

II have reason to believe 1t would not
be accepted by the men responsible for
the violence in Ireland, but on the con-
trary, would be regarded by them as
weakness on the par. of the British
Government and an encouragement to
further violence
The Prime Minister said there could
be no question of making good out of
the British Exchequer the damage to the
Dublin Custom House caused by the re-
cent incendiary descent upon that build
ing.
"One OF the most precious possessions
of the Irish people was wantonly and de-
liberately destroyed by the Sim Feins." p"
he added.
The Prime Minister said the loss was
estimated at f2,000.000 and that the
claim would be presented in due course.
Under the law the loss would fall upon
the local authorities. but it would be
within the powers Of the southern par

the loss. wholly or in part.
