Because of the heavy taxation to which the people have ‘been subjected it !s not to be disrégarded what has been accomplished through the inauguration of 5 bydget system that means the plac- ing of the government on a business basis and another cutting of expendl- tures which greatly aids in the reduc- tion of tavation These are some of the outstanding ac- complishments of the administration during its first year. There have been schigvements which have manifested the administrdtion’s purpose to deal with b'g and unusual pioblems as thor- oughly and expeditiously as possible.

This improves the flayor. = HOW TO FINISH A HEM There are several excellent ways of finishing a hem on heavy materials such as tweed. A smart and quite popular mode of, the moment is to fringe it out. DeCide what ‘depth you i desire the fringed edge—ope or two inches is preferable—then pull out a few threads at that length and hem- stitch, which prevents it fraying far- ther, and below the hemstitching fray the tweed. A more simple method is to bind the edge of the hem with tape or binding angd then catch.the tape to the skirt with hemming stitches being careful to take up but a few threads on the’ needle, so that the, sewing will not show through. Anoth- | er quick and simple way i§ to catch| down the raw édge:of the hem with | catehstitching. TO CLEAN PAPIER MACHE Papier mache and lacquered trays should never pe cleaned with hot wa- ter, which will probably crack the sur- face in course of time and the heat will remove the gloss. X An excellent cleaning medium for these articles is found in a paste made of flour and olive oil. This should be rubbed in ‘well with a’ piece of soft flannel. Any stained parts should re- another rag. and finally polish with an old sili handkerchief.” With this receives the better will be the result. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Put a couple of Turkish towels by the “fire to “heat, before starting to! shampoo vour hair, and having wrung | out and squeezed your hair in a thin| towel, covér it with a very hot Tur- kish towel and rub well. The hot to- wel absorbs the dampness from the hair .very rapidly, and with a couple of really hot towels you should be¢ able to get it thoroughly dry.

AHE SPRING MILLINERY One of the most striking notes in new French millinery is the reviv: of the use of flowers, which bring! color, as part of the reaction against the wearing of black. Many Parisian milliners are plac- ing flowers, which trail over the brim at the side of wide straw hats, while others weave underbrims with scarlet popples. Again, we find smart allor shapes in black straw, trimmed with! immense bunches of scarlét or red| roses very much in evidence, all paraffin paper for lining! i to ox- | | treatment of applique, applied in vari- | wash. recently in tha eyening was trimmed 9 ey with large clusters of black grapes.

Vests of imported ratine have a ous manners. One of Copenhagen blue has two_square patch pockets on eith- er side of an upturned hem. Another. which is tan, has a central panel of applique in shades of orange and hen- na. : Copenhagen and tan are also the shades used for a vest with emboss- ed embroidery effects. The designs arg placed in a variety of ways. GIRL'S STREET FROCK An early spring tafieta street frock for a young girl, seen recently, fea- tured a slightly draped waist of the hip length type, to which was attached a skirt consisting of three rows of taffeta petals picoted at the edges. A narrow self-fabric ruffle, accordion plaited in scallops or “shells,” finished the round neck and three-quarter sleeves. Another smart navy taffeta frock. with tight bodice reaching to the nor- mal waist line and smartly flared skirt, was trimmed about 'the neck and the short, slashed sleeves with narrow bands of bright red taffeta put on like rick-rack braid. she Ing LAUNDRY HINTS Before washing new goods let them stand in salt and water to set the col- or. Before washing soiled handkerchiefs allow them to soak in eold water/ into which has been put a handful or so of salt. This makes them much easier to In hanging sheets shake them well while still wet, and hang with the hems together, and the hem edge pinned to the line. This prevents whipping the corpers, and lessens the wear and tear as the sheets will need less pulling. To wash colored ribbons dip them in a bowl of warm water, and spread out on a deal table and scrub with a not-too rd nail brush, dipised in warm water and rubbed in soap. Wheén thoroughly clean rinse in\two changes of warm water, and puli gently ihto ape (wet ribbon tears easily !), and ang up to dry. When still damp iren with a very hot iron through thin flan- nel. This makes the ribbon stiff. To soften it iron with a cool iron placed directly on the silk or satin siurface. Cut the ends, and the ribbon will look like new ! be CHILDREN'S FASHIONS An unusually pretty little dress for a child of 4 seen recently, was made of tan-colored heavy cotton erepe. The yoke and sleeves were attached to the dress proper hy means of crocheting done in brown woel. The hem was cut apart from the skirt and then fas- tened back with the crocheting. A sim- ple stitch was used so that the gen- eral effect was that of hemstitching done with wool floss. A clever party dress for a small girl, shown by the same designer, was of the pale pink crepe de chine. made on simple lines. The sleeves were ruf- fled almost to the shoulder with half- inch dainty white lace and the same trimming was used about the skirt and bloomers. With this dress was worn a pink taffeta hat with a flower stream- er at one side. The crown and upper brim were covered entirely with par- row taffeta ruffles, only slightly gath- ered, but.pinked or scalloped, so that a flower petal effect was suggested. SAVING THE STAIR CARRET Every three or four months the gtair carpet should be moved so that the “tréad” comes in a different place, and to permit of this beipg done an extra yard should be purchased when choosing the carpet, and tucked under- neath the last stair so, that there is plenty of spare for the moving proe- 58, of ® “ Don’t forget that stair pads are a very real economy, and well worth the initial expense.

Mr. Editor: No ‘one except those liv- 3| i0g in Franklin and atiending church "|there, can realize what a loss {p the community is the death of Deacon Will- iam C. Smith. His beloved wife passed away about a vear ago, and although with great courage he took up the bur- dep of life without her, it prove too much for hig weary heart and mind, and he became entirely incapacited foz his usual activities. He attended church the first Sunday in July and offjciated as usual as deacon at the communion service, but wag never again able to be present. In his long life in Franklin, to which place his parents'removed when he was enght years old he held the effection and respect of all. Nothing ip the way of personal service was too much for him to undertake for those in need. He gave much time and strength and mo: ey to the church, which was very dear to him, apd.though for bhaif a vear he wag absent from her services his heart and thoughts were always with her. His ideals of personal helpfulness of unstint- ¢d hospitality, of neighborly love apd forbearance, are what eyery community needs, and Franklin is fortunate in hav- g such an examole of a well spent ife for so many years.
