FOR YOUR NEW TUNIC BLOUSE
Put Hand Embroidery Only Around
Center Of the Sleeve and on
the Sash.

If you want to make a stunning new
tunic blouse, put your hand embrOid-
cry now In two places only: Around
the center Of the klmono sleeve, and
on the sash. Leave the neckline and
the body of the blouse absolutely plain,
and let the embroidery on sleeve and
sash be as splendid as you can make it.
The kimOno sleeve should extend be-
low the embroidery almost to the
wrist, so that it Grapes and flOps about
the arm, lifted or lowered-this is fash
IONS fancy Just now.
A stunning tunic blouse Is Of black
satin meteor with broad bands of en-
broidery-perhaps nine inches Wide
around the center Of the sleeve and on
the ends of the wide sash which Is
lOoped over once and falls with heav-
fly fringed ends at one hip. The en-
brOidery Is done with darning stitch
lines Of pale gray and white silk floss
and silver threads. Here and there are
triangular appliques of gray duvetyn,
surrounded with lines of black and
white silk floss and silver thread. An
other blouse, Of black satin, has en-
broidery of gold thread, gray, magenta
and olive green floss.
Make bateau neckline-if you can
stand the severe style-and open the
blouse at the shoulder. with an ar
rangement OF invisible snap-fasteners
Or have a rounded neckline with a six.
inch slash down the front. Run a very
tiny casing around the neckllne and
draw 1t up with cord or velvet rib.

ro Mako a Rlhhon Rn.a

To make a medium-slzed rose re-
quires two yards Of satin ribbon two
inches wide. Taffeta or satin may be
used. There are several different
methods Of making the center Of these
roses. A simple center may be made
from a piece Of the ribbon, four inches
long. Fold this In half. Sew the
selvages together along one side. Turn
and fill with cotton around which has
been wound the end Of 6-inch piece
Of frame wire. A little rose-scented
sachet powder may be sprinkled on
this cotton to add perfume to the
blossom.

Hat and Dress in Crepe de Chine,

VTVFV
The soft, gracefully falling dresses
Of silk which are so much the vogue
are prettiest when they are made Of
crepe de chine. Sometimes it is a
good plan to weight portions of the
dress where it droops and where the
dropping falls into points. This spe-
cial weave Of silk naturally takes
beautiful and artistic folds. It is
meant to be draped. For Innings this
is an excellent material, as It's softness
adapts itself to the outer garment so
well. Now crepe de chine is being used
for hats. Many crepe dresses have
the hat to match. In New York
some shops sell dress and hat to match
all ready-made.

facturers, catering in a large way to
the fashion markets Of the world, have
taken up the idea, and beautiful new
models for export trade are being pre-
pared in the Russian modes.
One of the charming things about
the Russian blouse is that it is youth
full in style and yet full of dignity.
It is becoming to almost every type Of
figure. With its low waistline belt,
it's big sleeves and its effective en-
broideries the Russian blouse fits ex-
actly into the fashion picture Of to-
day.

FLETCHER ASSA|LS
TRAINERS OF TARIFF

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Senate
finance committee Republicans were
attacked Wednesday in the senate by
.enator Fletcher, DemocrSt, Florida,
who asserted that the records SHOW
ed that the tariff commission was al
lowed to take no par in the hear
ings on the pending tariff bill and
little part in the framing OF the
measure while representatives. OF
the Specific interests were heard
without end"
"Their selfish appeals" he said,
"evidently did not fall upon unheed-
g ears, as study OF any OF the
schedules will show"
Senator Fletcher declared that
conditions were. not settled enough
now to permit of the framing OF q
definite and permanent tariff policy.
Asserting that proponents Of the
measure talked as Il there were no
tariff law now, the Florida senator
referred to the Underwood law as
providing revenue and mot afford
ing opportunity to build up u 0on-
scionable monopolies."
An increased duty on rice was
urged by Senator Broussaru, Demo
crat, Louisiana, who asserted that
under the Underwood law rates pro-
posed for re-enactment in the pend
ing bill the American market would
be flo Led by rice from the Orient.
Senator Broussald read from de-
partment of agriculture records to
show the great rice production in
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and 9th
er southern states and declared this
industry needed the protection given
in the emergency tariff act if it was
not to be destroyed.
On rough rice Senator Broussard
urged a rate of one cent a pound in
two cents on milled rice in lieu of
committee.
Supporting the rates proposed by
Senator Broussard, Senator Robin
son, Democrat, Arkansas, said there
was nothing in the records of the
tariff hearings before the house
ways and means committee or the
senate finance committee to justify
the reduced duties proposed in the
senate bill.
There was no complaint made re-
specting the rates in the existing
emergency tariff, Senator Robinson
declared

not shoot. His freedom ended where
Fridays rights began"
Aim of the Opposition
There would have been no Federal
Union today if the Individual states
that went to make up the Federal
Union were not willing to surren-
der the powers they exercised, to
surrender their freedom as it were.
Opponents Of the league tried to
convey the impression that under
Article x we should be obliged to
send our boys across the sea and
that in that event Americas voice
would not be the determining voice.
Lloyd George answered this ar
gument in a crushing way when he
said:
1--WE cannot, unless we aban-
don the whole basis of the
League Of Nations, disinterest
ourselves in an attack upon the
existence Of a nation which is
member of that league and
whose life is in jeopardy. That
covenant, as I understand it,
does not contemplate, necessar-
lily, military action in support Of
the imperiled nation. It contem-
plates economic pressure; it con-
templates support for the strug-
Cling people; and when it is
said that if you give any sup
port at all to Poland it involves
a great war, with conservation
and with all the mechanism of
war with which we have been
so familiar in the last few years,
no &c icfn rxrif
whole theory of the covenant
into which we have entered. We
contemplated other methods of
bringing pressure to bear upon
the recalcitrant nation that is
guilty Of acts of aggression
against other nations and endan-
gering their independence"
The Republicans who attacked the
president on Article x had evidently
forgotten what Theodore Roosevelt
said about one effective move for
obtaining peace, when he urged:
1.-THE nations should agree on GER
tain rights that should not be ques-
toned, such as territorial integrity,
their rights to deal with their do
nestle affairs, and with such mat
ters as as whom they should admit
to citizenship" They had, also, ev-
identity forgotten that Mr.. Taft said:
''The arguments against Article x
which have been most pressed are
those directed to showing that un-
der it's obligations the United States
can be forced into many wars and
to burdensome expeditionary forces
to protect countries, in which it has
no legitimate interest This, objec-
ton will not bear examination"
