NAVAL SUSPENSION |

The suspension would be temporary,

the progress and results of the Interna-
Ilonal Disarmament Conference next
February. The Herald likened the idea
10 a similar gesture on the part Of the
United States and Great Britain on the
eve OF the London Naval Conference
in 1929
The Herald added that 1t was hoped
suspension of the shipbuilding pro-

ter include millions Of employees in rail-

II wish to stress the fact that the
application of minimum price is both
ethical and practical. The only objec-
ton to it can come from bear opinion
and from those officials who are more
interested in keeping an open market
for both bears and professional
trading-than they are for the welfare
of the citizens of the United States"
Mr.. Levinson did not state for how
long a period New York could operate
a minimum fixed price under present
conditions. However, he believes that
if it were done for definite period
such that the momentum of bear SELL
ing would be even temporarily arrested
a natural reaction with rising prices
would inevitably follow.

Rules for Simple Fagoting


Wherever you see new blouses, lin
gerie or dainty neckwear for late Win
ter and Spring you are sure to see some
sort OF fagoting, because the French
dreSSmakers have revived this attractive
sort OF needlework with enthusiasm.
II you are fagoting together two strips
OF material, then cut a strip of stiff
paper, mark It of in straight ruledl ines
and then haste the strips of material
which have been blind-stitched as q
bias or straight fold-neatly and firmly
on 1T a quarter inch apart Then work
your fagoting stitches. Then pun out
the basting from the paper, turn the
material wrong side out and blind-stitch
or hem down the material on the wrong
side.
Simple fagoting is done as follows:
Bring the thread up at the left side Of
the opening, between the two pieces Of
material, bring 1t down a little and put
the needle through from the under side.
Now take the thread back to the left
strip of material, passing the needle
under the stitch already made. Bring it
up again from the under side and down
again to the right, passing the reedle
under the stitch just made You can
understand just how to do this by look
ing at the diagram, which shows the
thread much enlarged.
Is carried from right to left and then
buttonholed back. You can make the
buttonhole stitches close together or far
apart. The result is q pretty sort of
laddering.
For another sort Of fagoting, make
a very loose ladder across from left to
right. Then pass the needle and thread
in the fold of the cloth forming the
hem edge for a quarter of an inch.
Bring it out, catch it in the center of
the completed ladder, take a stitch in
the left margin and buttonhole back
again.
For a simpler effect, take a stitch
from left to right and start back again,
making two buttonhole stitches, rather
loose, third of the way over and two
more another third of the way. Then
catch your stitch on the left-hand mar
gin, run your thread along under the
fold quarter Of an inch, more or less,
and start again.
For still another stitch, bring the
thread up at the left margin, make a
loose loop across to the right margin,
run the needle through the hem fold for

ers Of the average man or woman, no
matter what the trying situation may be.
Simply resolve to remain calm, cool
and collected and unfiurried under all
circumstances, and to put away all
destructive and disturbing thoughts,
remembering that these and similar
emotions can do no good and are q
foolish waste Of energy.
Next take yourself in hand with re-
gard to the many unnecessary move
ments which you probably make during
the course Of the day, such as tapping
the foot, biting the nails or lips, drum
ming with your fingers on the table.
1t will not be easy at first, but as
soon as the new habit is formed it
viii be as natural for you to be eco
nomical in the expenditure Of physical
and mental energy as before it was
habitual for you to be wasteful in this
respect. Try to get in tune with the
calm soul of Nature. Even in a city
one need not lose touch with her, and
the open country is not far away
Finally, try to get five minutes COM
plete relaxation two or three times a
day. Lie down, if you can, and relax
as thoroughly as you are able. Take
a few deep breaths, lying quietly and
fully relaxed until the five minutes
are up. You will find that you can
resume your work with a renewed
strength and an alertness that will last
throughout the day.
Nervous, tense types of men and
women should seek recreation out of
doors instead Of indoors at card parties
or movies. Physicians and pSychol-
ogists often point out that our modern
pace of living is too fast and too
stimulating, which accounts for the
prevalence of nervous disorders rang
ing all the way from irritability to
crime.

While Prince Louis Napoleon was still
only pretender to the imperial throne
of France he spent an extended period
in England, where he fell into that
brilliant group Of literary men and wits
that surrounded Lady Blessington, one
Of the most noted women of the day,
whose, drawing room rivaIed that of
the great Lady Holland, notwithstanding
her past was supposed to have been
checkered and her character none too
good.
At Gore House, the residence of the
Countess of Blessington, and her bril-
liant son-in-law, Count d'Orsay, Louis
Napoleon repeatedly experienced a
hospitality which it was not then In his
power to return.
Time passed. After the revolution Of
1848, the prince went back to France as
"Prince-President Of the republic. ("
Later he was to establish himself as
Emperor, but for the time being the
coup which was to put him on his
throne was not advisable. It was In
this period that the fortunes of both
Lady BleSSington and Count d'Orsay
fell. They left England and went to
France.
Naturally they expected that the
Prince-PreSident would be eager to re-
pay them the hospitality he had so often
experienced at their hands. However,
they did not fully estimate the delicate
position IN which he was placed. For
d'Orsay he did all he could, but the
thing Lady BlesSington most desireed-
to be received at the Tuileries-he felt
he could not grant.
