White House gardener. Scarcely day
passed that production at the garden
was not exhausted and acquisitions made
on the Department of Agriculture

And the average production of the

That the flowers were a constant

one paragraph in the book she wrote

Chintz spreads with envelope flaps
to inclose pillows are an innovation.
They are further development Of the
spread described last season in which
pillows were laid over a top section and
scanned wrong side out to the upper part
of the spread. This top section was
turned over the pillows after they were
neatly arranged and tucked back about
the pillows smoothly. This brought the
section right side out. Such spreads are

excellent, but a few stitches make them
more complete.
These new envelope spreads have the
upper portions scanned along each edge,
thus forming flap, and it is under this
flap that the pillows are concealed. The
edge of the flap is sometimes bound in
stead of hemmed, in which case the
binding Of tapes or textile carries out
some of the colors of the chintz.
Pillows of ordinary size require no
extra fullness in the flap. The tighter
the pillows fit into place the smoother
the flap will be, and it must be smooth
to look well.
If pillows of large size are to be in
closed, extra width of flap will be
needed. 1t can be had in two ways.
The pillow section can be very slightly
fulled as 1t is scanned to the main por-
ton Of the spread. or two pleats can be
taken in the pillow flap, one at each
end. Neither of these fullnesses will
show when the spread is on the bed, as
they come well under the pillows, and
the bulk of the pillows themselves will
take care of the fullness over them.
The pleats or slight gathers that are
fitted into the binding along the end Of
the flap will be concealed under the pill
lows also.
These spreads are easy to make
Chintz. cretonne and patterned linen
are favorite textiles. The top OF the
spread may be plain and the sides be
finished with wide ruff1e. For this
style the pillow flap should end at the
plain top portion of the spread and the
ruf1le be carried along the edges to
make 1t reach from the footboard to

ton of the whole campaign on unem-
ployment was the decisive factor. Not
half of the electorate had any definite
idea about the policies of the three rival
parties, but some millions of people
were willing to believe the general So
cialiSt assertion that If they were re-
turned, they would do more in q year
to solve the unemployment problem
than the Tories could or would do in
a century. The Socialists issued no
precise scheme; they just asked for a
blank check, and in the great industrial
areas the factory hands gave mass votes
for them, and the working lassies also
lined up and voted for Macdonald
In unprecedented numbers the small
salary class, feeling that the Socialist
leadees stand closer to them than do the
Tory leaders, and that there are too
many very rich men as compared to the
vast army Of the poor, voted for Mac
Donald. State employees. even those in
the higher Offices, voted for Macdonald.
Being permeated with socialistic doc
trines, they feel they would be the privi-
legged class under a government bent
upon bringing a large part of the ma
tons activities under the control of
state officials. The intelligentsia are
socialistic to a man-and woman.
Finally, there are the middle class
folk who hitherto have voted solidly for
conservatism because it was the proper
thing to do and because they had class
hostility to labor, but who are voting
increasingly socialiStic today because
they feel that the men in power in the
Conservative party are doing nothing
for them and can do nothing for them.
So Ramsay Macdonald, sitting in the
pleasant. tagged garden of his home at
Hampstead on the heights outside of
London. saw a landslide sweep away the
enormous Tory majority and bring the
premiership again within his grasp.
1t was uncertain over the week end
following the election what Lloyd
George. who held the balance Of power
with his little band, would do Some
prominent Tories advocated Liberal
Conservative coalition-anything to keer
the Socialists out. But passions have
run too high for another coalition to be

Can Recognize Russia.
Ramsay Macdonald, the new prime
minister, can go ahead and recognize
Russia, make deal with the United
States for drastic reduction Of navies,
add to the tax burden of the very rich,
reorganize the railways, drop ice into
the warm cordial Sir Austen Chamber
lain has been handing France at Ger
many's expense and even reform the
electoral system. But any attempt to
introduce legislation designed to replace
the private control of business by state
control local mines always excepted)
will bring Lloyd George and his little
band of So Liberals into action on the
Conservative flank, and Macdonald will
be defeated on the floor OF the House.
That would mean another general
election on the straight issue of social
ism versus individualism which is the
last issue Macdonald and his strategists
want brought up-yet.
To grasp the prospect now, one needs
to glance back at the highlights of the
recent elections. The most important
facts that emerge from the melee are,
first, that England is in state of fiux
and does not know at the moment just
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-23

what she does want, and, second, that,
although the Socialists talk joyously of
having swept the country, they polled
only 100000 votes against $4,000, 600
registered against them $4,000, 600 of the
electorate being too bored to come out
and vote for anybody.
Vote Against BaIdwinism.
The big vote was against Baldwinism,
not for socialism. Stanley Baldwin,
with his policy of tranquility, was a
reaction from the overlong spell OF the
indefatigable and exciting Lloyd George
He overstayed his welcome. His safety
first" appeal struck sparks only from
the cold minds of cautious bankers and
millionaires and non-producers living
on the interest of invested capital.
A large percentage OF the ConServa-
tive votes were cast not so much to
keep Baldwin and his crowd in as to
keep the Socialists out.
At the height of the election one
heard prosperous persons saying In
fashionable restaurants, at Mayfair
dinner tables and in clubs: IF we lose

the biggest majority in history for five
years. And what has he done with 1t?
