who has some regard for his mothers sex to be ready to come to the rescue of such girl when she appeals to him.
 No one can appreciate except the girl herself the trial that is hers in seeing a matter of this kind through to it's conclusion. It would be much easier indeed for her to get away from the situation as fast as possible.
 The fact that she goes to the trou- ble of defending won-ankind, espe- cially the working women who travel in the subways, Is commendable to say the least. She deserves all the help she can get.
 When these vulgar persons learn that there are men in the subway who are alert and ready to help a young girl in distress, they will soon be wary about persisting in their horrible habits.
 These are pests in human guise that should be eliminated and the way to do it is to bring each and every one of them to justice so that the fear of law and man will be put in them at least, if they have not themselves the fear of God.

GIFTS IN A JIFFY

Ahead of the last-minute holiday rush, the wise woman gets out her remnant bag which contains scraps of silk, velvet, lace, etc., from the various garments she has made dur ing the year, and makes up pretty and interesting gifts. Purses and bags from the most serious business like cketbooks' to frivolous party affairs are especially favored hand made gifts. The new plan of con struction reduces the sewing to few stitches, for liquid glue is now used for applying narrow braid or lace trimming, or applique flowers by the highest class makers of these articles.
 And if you happen to have lengths of ribbon in your scrap bag, so much the less of labor, for ribbon requires less finishing details. A gay little one-piece wallet is made of bright brocade ribbon in an envelope fold, built on crinoline and padded with cotton flannel. Two more compart- ments can be made on the lining, and it swings from the wrist on rib bon bracelet with clasp such as a wrist watch has.
 A smart er-the-hand purse is made on two, sheets of crinolne placed with a quarter of an inch space between to allow for the hinge" in the middle, and padded with cotton flannel. The outside may be bright blue and black stripe, and the inside gray, or light green, or light blue.
 x A handsome purse for the tailored suit is the long envelope fold of black or neutral colered moire, which may be either silk or ribbon. A small tapestry inset applied with ton on the flap. It is made on padded foundation with wedge
 shaped inserts at each end to give width to the pocket, and Ss little coin purse. with base stitched flat to the lining completes it. If you are clever you can bind a small mir TOT with gold braid and sew it to the under-side of the flap.
 A pretty cover for bridge table may be made from square of black satin or sateen, and bound with inch wide metallic or colored ribbon, while luxurious tassel, either black or of metallic threads, weights each corner. Instead of sewing the rib bon on, it can be glued, a thin line of the best quality of liquid glue ap- piled to each edge of the ribbon a | few inches at a time and allowed to "set" before the surfaces are joined. A score pad to match is made by covering an ordinary pad with a piece of black satin ribbon and binding with metal braid or rib | bon, all being done witn the liquid glue.
 A clever woman can bring her scrap bag to her rescue in obtain ing a rich and beautiful set of book ends. The foundation of metal frames she finds at the 10 cent store, and with some purple and metal, or bright blue or green and metal bro- cade she magically transforms them, using a few stitches when absolutely necessary, but gluing the rest. If she has no brocade, she can use vel vet, and then applique by means of the glue some flat silver or gold flowers on the outside of each end piece.
 For the college girl pretty gift would be one or two of the smart headbands which they themselves have decreed fashionable. A flexible weave of ribbon is used in any at tractive pattern, in stripes or Egyp- tian designs, and two-inch elastic strap covered with plain ribbon across the back snaps on to it.

republican movement has entered

en-Gladbach, where the opposition
was not serious, and also Berncastel
and TreVes. Erkelenz, near Aix-la-

mated yesterday, was occupied with
out resistance.
Reports from Cologne lead to the
belief in the Belgian circles that the
British will not tolerate theentry of
the Separists into their zone of oc
cupation. The British are said to be
unwilling to treat with any other
than the central government at Ber-
lin.
1t is confirmed that the proclama-

FASTENED by the apprehension of the
Separatist leaders that Berlin had
decided TO favor the proclamation
at Cologne of an autonomous Rhine
land which would be obedient to the
central authorities.
