It is quite evident that the aim in calling the representatives of the two governments in Ireland and the British government together in Londom was/ for the purpose of checking bloodshed now and providing for a peaceful understand- ing in the future. Thus far the repre- sentatives appear to have agreed upen 3 way and it will depend upon what sort of support they get in the north and south of Ireland as to whether the de- sired results will be obtained. THE HOLDUP SITUATION. York may well give more than attention to the number of dar- ing holdups that are taking place within the borders of that state. Ome might suppose from the looting that is being done that the metropolis was out in the Rocky Mountains and that the New York |Central was running through the wild and woolly west. It was not so many months ago that there was a serles of equally daring| holdups of mail trains from which big| sums were stolen. The chance to get away with amounts up to several mil- lion dollars was appreclated and the deeds actually accomplished. It was plain that more than the usual methods of combatting such raiding must be at- tempted, and the result was that ma- rines were stationed on mai] trains with orders to shoot to kill and postal em- ployes were equipped with firearms in- tended to be used for the protection of the mail in transit. It was an unusual ation and deSperate measures Were demanded in dealing with them. Since t time there has been a noticeable of mail train holdups. When New York comes to the real- zation of the fact that too much encour- gement js being offered to those who| are willing to engage in the holdup busi- ness it may take steps and impose pen- alties that will improve the situation. It situation that isn't likely to improve Nexw passi; a Employing guards on freight trains and giving them orders to shoot to Kill | 1d be a decidedly new departure, but the large amount of goods snsidering it is likely to continue, it is only what may become necessary. Left to the ma- rines here would be less holdups.

He had had no training for the job and he was but 27 years of age at the time. There were troubles enough for an experienced mind but the change from Francis Joseph to it meant a change from experience to in- experience there was also a difference in temperament that was quite as great, nd mone knew it better than he aid himself, The breaking up of the empire would have eome without the change, but Charles took the throme at about the fortunes of war were going against it and there followed the dissension with- in That Charles had a large following was manifested during the attempts that | were made by him to become king in 1ss nt ers hen s re- days, he | is Bot es when | turbs the | s of the| 4 and | | effort that is | being | that | . = ma the | out- | of | tor ons | ng | + been| | was signed in| > put down se- | rces haven't een h would | reached w and terror that oity.

Beet drippings are good shortening for ple crust. Insipid apple sauce is better for a little cinnamon. Prunes are most wholesome cooked witHout sugar. Be sure you get a hard, heavy head of cabbage with crisp, white leaves and with the stalk cut close to the head. Choose beets with dirty roots and fresh green leaves. This shows they have not been soaked to freshen them. ‘Winter squash should have no soft spots. Choose a medium sized one; the larger ones are seedy. Cauliflower should be firm and white with fresh green leaves. Be sure that onions are hard and firm, Buy the small carrots. Choose spinach with leaves fresh and dirty. If clean, they have wilted and been soaked to Tevive them. Never keep vinegar or yeast in stone crocks or jugs. Their acid attacks the gliazing, which is said to be poisonous. Glass for either is better. Let ham soak over night in milk. In the morning wipe the ham off and dip it into flour and fry. Ham will be as tender as chicken. A tablespoonful of sugar added to the water for basting roast beef will give a rich brown color and improve the flavor, Wet your chopping bowl before put- ting in meat and it will prevent greas- ing it. It is more economical to prepare meats with a dressing of some kind, since they go so much further. If link sausage is left in a dish of | cold water ome minute, then cut the | length of the link, with a sharp knife, | the covering can be easily removed. Sausages retain their shape, and when served may be eaten with a fork only. WABBLY DOOR HANDLE, A trouble which often goes uncured is a loose and wabbly door handle. The cure s simple. Remove the lit-. tle screws, take the knobs, spindle and round “shield” off, after you have noted | what is the amount of “play.” Some- times a washer will tighten the han- dle, but if that doesn't, get a piece of leather (old pieces .are sold by shoe- makers) and cut a leather washer to size. Make a hole in the center for the spindle. It doesn’t take a minute to push the spindle through and serew the knob back onto it again. AID TO COOKS. 1f young duck or the chicken is s0 | tender that you can scarcely sew it up to hold the dressing, or, when roast- | ing use toothpicks to skewer the open- ing together and lace with string| around the toothpicks. CARE OF FURNITURE. Soap should never be used on wood finished with shellac or varnish or treated with furniture wax or oil. It possesses the property of destroying oily and resinous substances, and thus tends to eat away the coating, destroy the polish and expose the wood. . DUSTY WALLS. An excellent way to brush down dusty walls is to take a roll of cotton batting and fasten a thick pad of it on the end of a stick. With this go over all of the wall surface, burning | the cotton as the pad becomes solled, then renewing.

The simplest exercises are some- times the best. An excellent one that can be practiced on any occasion is to just place the fingertips on the shoulders and stretch the arms in front of you as far as they will na- turally go, bringing the fingertips back to the shoulders again. Another effective movement is to then bring them down as far to the floor ag they will go without strain. It is a mistake to try and touch the floor with the fingertips unless you have become gradually used to it by regular exercise. The strain is often harmful. A liberal supply of fruit should be included in every meal. This is the sis of the combat against sonstipa- tion. Another good thing to do is to begin the day with a drink of cold ‘water, one or two good glasses. For | fruits, apples, pears, oranges, prunes and figs are .suggested. Honey and| pure molasses have laxative proper- ties. RESTFUL TREATMENT. Often when one has been shopping or otherwise engaged in the afternoon she corues home tired and frequently with a headache, which contracts the lines of the brow and face. ‘When this condition arises begin im- mediately to remove ail clothes, par- ticularly the corsets and shoes, and loosen the hair. Then bathe the face | with warm water, until it glows. Mas- sage with a good skin food, rubbing it | in with easy movement, following the method for facial massage. Use the skin food liberlly and rub it in quickly and vigorously. Then bathe the face again with hot water, using a lttle pure soap to remove the surplus grease. Lastly, bathe the face in cold water ‘When bathing the face with hot wa- ter, massaging with cream and stimu- lating with cold water, be careful not to_irritate the skin by overdoing it, is either too hot or too cold. BLOOMER FROCKS FOR CHILDREN The popularity of the bloomer frock for small children, ranging from two to six year sizes, rather eclipses all other types of dresses or garments for these particular ages. An _array of new cotton numbers has been developed in a distinctly gether useful styles, marked accordingly. Domestic cham- bray, gingham, challls and pongee form the fabric choice. For the most part, the perferred style shows the little overgarment developed upon the simplest lines of a smock or peasant apron, divided in some instances the full length of the sides, up to the armpits, with a little tie girdle. Frequently also the use of two fabrics is liked, especially where checked ginghams and plain cham- with prices has been urging the recognition of the bolsheviki and probably disgusting his constituents as well as the country by hig actions, brays are selected. An example of this was done with china blue and white checked gingham for the upper | present time, DICTATES OF FASHION. Orfental embroidery of all deserip- tions is a favorite dress trimming. Dresses for children have bloomera attached. Smocking in contrasting colors is employed for dress ornamentation. Riehrack énd straight cotton braid in colors is used on all white frocks. Cotton voiles are featuring French arawn_work. Temple orange is a new tone seen in silk. Red heelg are seen on both black and white kid shoes. Purses and hand bags are small. Beaded envelope or string bags, the latter in loop effect and usually in light colors, are carried to harmonize with the gown. Gold mesh bags and gold vanities, also onyx vanitles have inlays. Earrings are much worn, old-fash- joned types, the long pendant and hoop styles being popular. Sautoirs of diamonds and pearlg with tasseled ends often have tasseled ear- rings to match. There are any number of jeweled Spanish combs seen, both in color and in’ rhinestones. Bandeaux are made of leaves and small flowers. Ostrich feather fans many in single stick effects and in bright colors are seen.

NOVELTIES IN CHECKS. Indications in the women's suit field point toward a vogue for checked ef- fects for spring wear. from those almost on the order to those of a plain character. Novelties in the latter checks show two-tone effects in the crossed stripes that form them. Most of the suits show the skirts and jackets made of the same materials, but in some of them the materials in the jacket con- trasts with that in the skirt. Often, when this is the case, in the skirt is used to face the lapels of the jacket and to pipe the pockets. WHITE HATS WORN. Right in the face of all predictions that have been made of a big season for sports millinery in high colors, a prominent member of the trade voices a prediction that the coming of the outdoor season will bring with it the biggest vogue for white hats that has been seen for a long time. Whether the prophecy will be fulfilled or not, it is a fact that there is a noticeable and growing sale of all-white hats at the Also to back it up are the reports of the popularity of white The checks are seen in a variety of sizes—some are square and some are oblong—ranging gingham, the material mash 45 usial, then 240 | | of thick sour cream and beat until light.

The early part of Ibsen's life was passed in great poverty, and he was 21 years of age when, in spite of his bril- liant intellect, he was able to overcome this handicap sufficiently to be able to show_production in literature. In 1856, The Banquet at Sothaug, the first of his national drama, was produced in the theatrical centers of Norway and Swe- den. It won him enthusiastic appiause and national renown. By the time Ibsen was seventy years old, in 1891, his fame had become so international that when his birthday was a good second. There will probably and various hues of beige. The first spring hats repeat the suc- cessful winter modes. The - small draped hat, wide at the sides and turned up from the face and perhaps trimming over the ears, is much in evidence among the advance models. Many such shapes are of a bright color, Most of the hats introduced thus far are moderate in size, although oc- casionally one notes a wide-brimmed model. These are likely to be of black crepe de chine, with the brim wide at the sides, and sorsetimes at the front also; but the brim is usually cut short in the back. Some have a brushlike tuft of aigrettes standing up in front. Others show a slit in the brim through which ends of feathers pass and fall on the shoulder of the wearer. There are exceedingly smart large shapes, untrimmed save for one or two twists of bright velvet folded about the crown. The large hats of color. are more numerous. They come in bright pur- ple, different shades of red, emerald green, as well as mauve and violet and lilac. matist received gifts and greetings from ence was as_widespread States as in Europe. Ibsen produced his famous play of Lit- tle Eylof, when he was sixty-six years of age; and his John Gabriel Borkman, two years later. ed his When We Dead Awaken, referred to above, the play was simultaneously published in very large aditions, in all the principal languages of Europe. This was the last of his important lit- erary works. During the remaining nine years however, he was not idle. During @ considerable part of the tima he was actively assisting in the preparation of the great edition of his Collected Works, which appeared in Covenhagen a few years before his death. . But hefore he had finished his work, he suffered an epilentic stroke. from which he never wholly recovered. 1t was believed that any form of men- tal fatigue might now be fatal to him and his life was prolonged by extrema medical care. He was contented and aven cheerful In spirit. The publication. in succession, of his juvenile works and of his corresnondence afforded him much pleasure. The eathering darkness was broken. it 1s sald. by a gleam of lght in 1905, when the freedom of Norway and the accession of Kine Hakon were cx- plained to him. he was able to express his jovful approval before the cloud fi- nally sank unon his intelligence. At the table where all the works of his maturitv had been written, Ibsen found the solace of his old age. It was here he lived to sit and dream of the vast.
