Fe Home Upholstering. H is time of year a good many housewives are doing over their bomes, either the living rooms, sleep ing apartments or perhaps the hall being slated for new decoration. This Is fascinating work and work 18. which the clever needlewoman may take a considerable part. 54 the living room is to be repapered and given a new color scheme, there #re no end of ways in which the rl who Is clever with the needle "ait add to Its decoration. Pillow covers in pretty materials (fo con- trast or correspond to the 'prevail- fig color can be made at home, While curtains, overhangings, covers Yor the table are other things which ean be made by the home sewer. "One young MAtyon Who- was sear- ely more than a'bride, did over her artment last year at the minimum sexpense and the maximum of beauty. She did practically all the upholstery herself, using her neddle, thimble and thread in such a clever Way that no one sugpected she was her own house decorator. The walls Bi left the same--a pale green-- the furniture, which was in vel- 'of a deeper shade, was covered with chintz in a big rose resign, the colors soft and harmonizing beauti- fully with the pale walls. If an upholsterer had been hired to do the necessary work, the fixing up of the apartment would have amounted to a considerable sum, but the. economical little matron prefer- red to save her householl allowance for other things and to do the work of covering her furniture with her own hands. . Ba as to save herself serious mis- fakes she first fitted each chair with 4 paper pattern, cutting and fitting the cover in this way before cutting into the chintz. The. result was that her covers were almost perfect, piped with a green braid and finish- ed' in an entirely professional man- ner. Of course, it was arduous work, but the amateur upholsterer took her time about it and turned out three chair and two couch covers that would have done credit to a pro fépsional. ¥ Not content with this she decided to add another new touch to the room by making window hangings of chintz. These were straight pie ces of the goods, edged with a pretty ball fringe she had purchased for a few cents a yard The thin under curtains were of white scrim edged with a heavy Imitiation Cluny lace: Many housewives could accomplish quite as good an effect if they would only make the attempt at be- ing their own upholsterers. Pro- fessional work of this*kind is expen sive, beyond the pocketbook of many women. However, a little daring, a few yards of chintz, a scis- sors, needle, thimble and thread will work wonders in transforming a cold colorless room Into a bower of beauty and cheer.--N. Y.

There are two kinds of wrinkles, those which all skins will show as they are and become dry, and those called premature wrinkles, caused shy-suffering, either physical or men- tal. Many women ,hK whose skins oy unusually smooth and unwrin- ed, almost babylike in their fresh med with braids and pendants. The well liked Hercules braid comes from soutache width te six inches in black, black and white, dark blue, dark green, brown, raisin, current and wistaria shades. Colors are also combined with] white or black in fancy'designs, with | scalloped, corded or plain edges. | Some braids are waxed and polished. | A very pretty braid has two rows of moire ribbon insert. Some braid designs are so heavy that they re- semble passementerie. Heavy cords| are twisted in cable patterns and are very effective as a trimming. Fall and winter capes and cloaks; are bound with braid as well as! trimmed with rows of ornamental] braid, and further decorated with] frogs 'and pendants in tassel effect. Some pendants are very elaborate, having cup-shaped tops, fur edging and silk strands, Jet beads, spangles and oval or round plague¥ are used with black cords. Black and white braids will be much used, although black will lead for trimming. both black and colors. Thin braids are edged with fur. Nar- row-fur edgings are headed 'with nar- row tinsel braid, also with a lattice braid insert with rhinestones. These edgings will be used on any street suit. How War Will Affect Fashigns. The war is sure to have all kinds of unforseen effects upon the fash- ions. Already there is perdilection for militay braid on tailor made coats, and as the autumn comes, on there will be more borrowings from military embellishments. The cav-| alier cape with its high Napoleonic | collar is already quite a martial look- | ing garment, and the helmet hat was | quite prophetic in its advent. There is no doubt that war will have a sobering effect on the models, but that may be a good thing. We shall at any rate be saved from var- ious eccentricities with which we were threatemed, because of hostil- ities and may now work out our sartorical salvation on worthier and nobler lines than has seemed likely hitherto. That our skirts are rap- idly getting wider is undoubted, but the crinoline and the senseless am-|* ount of flouncing and ruching that has lately seemed inevitable, will now, in all probilility be spared- us, and common gense will come to our aid in the making of the winter! fashions | Rich, though sober materials, will be the vogue, the ligne will be dis- tinctly wider and plainer, and millin- ery is pretty sure to take on a mil- itarly savpr. Already, it is said, that reds of all shades will be among the most popular of colors Red in a deep wine shade is the] material used in an attractive little! cap. This is designed for motoring | or for any -occasion upon which a | close-fitting hat is needed. A band' which fits tightly around the head is| covered with roses, and the velvet] puffs up over this in a graceful fash-| ion. This cap was specially design | ed by a New York milliner for a well known young woman and it has! been named after her { So much for millinery.

Rome, Oct. 1.-~The pope 'has de- termined to leave nothing wunat- tempted to reach ns great- eet ambition, to put on end. to the horrible bloodshed devastating Eu- rope and staining four continents, without precedent in history. Thinking that Emperor Francis Joseph, owing to his age, piety and the many misfortunes which have marked his long reign, might be more accessible, the pontiff centered on him his chief efforts. He wrote him an autograph letter and then sent Cardinal Piffl, Archbishop of Vienna, with a special; message, then entrusted the emperor's confessor to make a strong appeal to his Chris tian heart, representing to him the responsibility he assumes and, the punishments he may expect in his future life if his power and the in- fluence he exercises he not put at the service of -peace. The pope received an autograph letter from the emperor, who admits the impossibility of concluding peace separately from - Germany, ' as, he says, the two empires are fighting to defend their existence, . His Holiness ' is not discouraged by the emperor's letter and contin- ues to 'use his spiritual influtnce to- ward peace; but he refrains from taking any diplomatic action until intervention is likely to be success- ful. Any present action, it is re- ebgnized, would be prefnature and doomed to failure.
