background.
The Negro melody is not imported,

Household Methods
BY BETSY cALLIsTER.

Have you been asked to make any,
thing for a fair? If you have, you
may have been troubled in knowing
Just what sort of thing would prove
most salable.
Here are some suggestions, based ON
experience. ! realize that the locality
IN which the fair is to be held. the
social standing, and the wealth of the
people buying have much to do with
the type OF things that will sell. But
these suggestions ought to help.
Aprons, II they are nicely made and
OF attractive material, usually 60 like
hot cakes. If the women buying do
not themselves need aprons for house,
work, they like to give them to friends.
and often like to buy their maids work
aprons at fairs.
Sewing accessories, little needle books
and work boxes of an unusual sort,
that do not cost too much almost
always sell well.
Handkerchiefs, if they are very nicely
made. go well. Bed room slippers are
salable under the same condition
they must be nicely made. Others are
table linen and towels-the towels
among the less expensive things, the
table linen among the more expensive
things.
Good. homemade candy and good
homemade cakes are popular, as well
as any knickknacks you can make for
children that sell for a small amount
There are always children with dimes
TO spend. but there are seldom things
for the dimes to buy.

Shaped Tucks on Homemade Dress


willing to take pains you have won
half the battle IN making shaped tucks.
The reward for your labors comes with
the fact that dress so finished has q
distinctly dressmaker aspect.
Unless you are q real expert you
will need q paper pattern to work with.
With the pattern spread over the ma
terial very carefully mark along the
lines where the tucks are to be taken.
This may be done with tailor's chalk
which brushes out of the material with
out leaving a spot or by taking small
basting stitches. Then thread your
needle with fine thread or with silk If
you are working on silk and, holding
the material in the left hand pinch it
along the marked lines and haste in
q tuck very close to the edge. BY
taking this basting very close to the
edge of the tuck you will have no diff
Guilty in fulling the material on the
broad side of the tuck.
Having taken this preliminary mar
row tuck, cut a gauge from a piece of
cardboard to indicate the exact width
OF the tuck desired and haste the tuck
along this line, fulling in the wide side
OF the material as you go. The tucks
are always narrow, but the advantage
In taking the preliminary very narrow
tuck Is that 1t may be indicated to
start with, without having to take time
to make 1t absolutely even in width.
The tucks may finally be finished
with Misunderstanding or fine hand
running stitch. They should be pressed
slightly under a cloth.

she usually prefers a more grown
up" way of dressing her hair.
A pretty coifIure with just the right
combination of girlishness and sophisti-
cation may be made In the following
way: Part the front hair either in the
middle or on one side. Divide the back
hair into AN upper and lower section.
Have the front hair and the upper

so that they may be made into puffs

Divide the lower section of back hair

so that they can be made into long
round curls. When the hair is dry,
pin the crrls at the nape of the neck
and let them hang down. Pin the puffs
in place across the back Of the head.

waved back hair is divided into two

each other CD. The ends of front hair
are tucked In between these strands
and twisted in with them. The two
strands are made into loops and pinned
across the nape Of the neck in butter

of the loops may be seen on each side

committee majority had ruled in favor
OF Walter Chandler Republican con-
testant for the nineteenth New York
seat. The time was April in the wear
Of presidential election.
The party complexion Of the New
York delegation hung in the balance
With Chandler in. it would be Repub-
hcan by one; with Bloom seated
Democratic by one.
threc-way presidential race was
looming, and it was possible that the
House might be called on to elect the
next President. New York's vote in
such an election was being decided in
the Chandler Bloom contest.
When the vote came all eXcept
three Democrats had been mustered
while there were Is Republicans miss
ing. Also, a group of seven irregular
and two regular Republicans joined the
Democrats in support of Bloom.
The committee majority report was
overthrown, 210 to 1913. The next vote
seated Bloom, 200 to 1913.
1t was at this point that Garrett
did his quick thinking. Jumping to
his feet. he shifted his vote from AYE
to no" Then, at the same time, he
popped in motion to reconsider the
vote and to table the reconsideration
motion.
Speaker Gillett and Nick Longworth.
then Republican floor leader, had been
caught mapping. II CARROTS move
succeeded, Bloom was in to stay. for
the job could not be undone when the
missing Republicans showed up.
Wen, Gillett accepted CARROTS dou-
bic motion without objection" The
Republicans tried to save the day with
a point of order, but 1t was too late.
Bloom was in for keeps.
