Hand Versus Machine Sewing
BY MARY MARSHALL.

for handmade garments is not very
sensible. Young mothers like to think
that all the articles in their babies
layettes are made entirely by hand,
until they find that the hand-Sewn
seams often pull apart much more
quickly than those carefully sewn by
machine But to most of us there IS
something attractive about hand sewing
wherever it appears, providing it is pre-
cisely done-an attraction that could
not have existed in the days before
sewing machines came into general use
Always fine handwork is used by the
French dreSSmakerS for many of their
most attractive gowns, because the eff
feet thus produced cannot be duplicated
in cheaply made copies. Women who
buy their gowns from the expensive
dressmakerS here or abroad like this
touch of fine handWork, not only be-
cause they really find it beautiful but
because they realize that it gives them
a certain assurance that cheap im!ta-
lions of their frockS will not appear on
every side
The gown shown in the sketch, from
Vionnet, is protected by its own intri-
cate embroidery from imitation, since
it would be quite out Of the question to
reproduce this save by fine handwork.
This weeks diagram pattern will
surely interest you. 1t shows precisely
how to make one of the new evening
wraps from an uncut square of mate
rial. A snapper here and there and
some tie strings with just one row Of
gathering is all that is needed to make
a wrap of unusual charm. From the
same pattern with different materials
you may make a lounging robe or a
beach robe. If you are interested,
please send me your stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope and l will send you a
copy of the circular at once without
charge.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

January %, 1861.-The Columbian
Armory presents at this time veritable
picture of barrack life. The United
States troops, which have been brought
into the city from many sections of
the country and quartered here, are
making themselves popular with the
civilians with whom they have come
into contact. Chosen as they are from
the best men in the United States
Arms and accepted into the Engineer
Corps only after the most thorough
physical and mental examination, they
are a corps "of which the country
may well be proud" as The Evening
Star expresses it today.
Their efficiency in drill is the
admiration of the volunteer military"
continues The Stars account, who
lose no opportunity to witness the
executed by them.
I'VE learn that the National Guard
meet every night for the purpose Of
perfecting themselves in the Hardie
tactics, under the drill sergeant of
the corps, who is said to be one of
the best drill officers attached to West
Point"
BY the time of the Inauguration on
March 4 there will be goodly number
of we'll drilled United States and
volunteer troops in this city and their
loyalty may be relied upon.
The National Volunteers, whose senti-
ments are not SO certain, met tonight
at Harmony Hall. They did not seem
to be in the best of spirits. They
propose to wait upon Gen. Weightman
to make application for arms, but they
are by no means sure Of getting them.
The Boston Delegation" comprising
Hon. Edward Everett. r. c. Winthrop,
Amos A. Lawrence, E. S. Toby and c..
L. Woodbury. of that city, arrived to-
night at Williards Hotel bearing a
monster union petition with 10000
names.
1t is reported that paper is being
circulated in Washington setting forth
that all hope of settlement of the pres
ent national crisis will depart unless
Virginia joins promptly the Gulf States.
1t is evident that the people of Virginia
will be pulled this way and that until
Lincoln is inaugurated President in an
effort to keep them in the Union or
get them out of it.

Everyday Law Cases
Is a False Promise CriminaIlu
ActiOndble?
BY THE COUNSELLOR,
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Samuel Shipper had no credit stand
ing in the community and was known
by Thomas Carol to be bankrupt.
Shipper. having the opportunity to sell
an article of furniture, went to Carols
wholesale store to make the purchase
and spoke to Carol as follows:
II you will sell me the article I
shall be back in an hour to pay you.
l am getting the money from my Gus
toner
On the strength of this promise Car
rol made the sale. Instead of delivering
the money that day, Shipper returned
with the report that his customer had
failed to pay him. A week later the
item still remained unpaid.
Suspecting the entire transaction,
Carol went to see Shippers customer
to learn whether Shipper had actually
made the sale. He was surprised to
learn that Shipper had already received
the money from the customer.
Alleging that Shipper had defrauded
him and had received the merchandise
by false pretenses, Carol caused Snip
per'S arrest.
The court ruled, however, that Snip
per had committed no criminal offense,
explaining:
IF the accused had made false and
material Misrepresentation to obtain
the goods, he would have made himself
liable to arrest and Imprisonment. His
statement that he had sold the goods
was true. but his promise to repay was
false. Mere false promises are not
criminally actionable."
