MeGARRAHAN BILL VETOED.

The President has vetoed the cele
GRATED " McGarrahan Bill,' of so much
interest to West Virginians. The
claim involves the title of the New
I1era Mining Company and il esti-
mated to reach s3,o00,00O. The veto
leaves the claim in a shape for new
trial or, to use the language of the veto
message
On the other hand the United
States valves all benefit of judicial
proceedings which have resulted in its
favor and gives Mr.. McGarrahan an
opportunity de novo to try all such
questions, and the decision, if in his
favor, is not only to restore to him all
the lands yet disposed Of. but the Uni
ted States assumes to pay him the
value of the lands appropriated by
others and for their use for all these
years, and to account to him for all
profits that have been made by the
New Ibera Mining company or any one
else in quicksilver or other mining.
The bill is so framed as to give
full protection to the New Ibera Mi
ming company to the full extent of its
largest claim, while throwing upon the
United States a responsibility which
that company should bear if the title
OF Mr.. McGarrahan is established.

ANOTHER coy RULER.

The New Khedive of Egypt and tho
Country He Governs.
Did anyone tell you of the death of
Tewfill, khedivo of Egypt, at Cairo on
the night of January Z? Now his eldest
son, Prince Abbas Bcy, who was born
on July II, 1874, will be lshedive in
stead. This prince has been at school
in Vienna for q long time and was there
with his younger brother, when the
news Of the death of his father reached
him.
1t seems, does it not, as though very
young people nowadays were coming
into great deal of power. Hero is
this new khcdive who will not, as YOU
see, be eighteen until next summer.
Then there is our old friend, the little
Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands,
who is not yet twelve years old having
been born on August -, 1880. Then in
Servia there is that young King Alex
ander ]. born August II, 1876. And in
Spain the little King Alphonso MIL,
was only born on May II, 1856.
All of Europe talked for days of Tew-
fill's death, wondering what the conse-
quences would be. For Egypt, you see,
is not an independent country She is
tributary to the sultan of Turkey, and
besides all that, she is garrisoncd by q
great many English soldiers. Tcwfik,

aop themselves round and round with
nervous haste behind thin woman in
tailor dress, who gesticulates as she
explains some knotty point in the ethics
of shopping; brushes that roll straight
ahead with quiet regularity and
brushes that jerk TO one end of the
sidewalk and then to another; brushes
that are worn down and do only per-
functory service and brushes that keep
little jets of street refuse flying out in
front and at the sides of them; fur
brushes and brushes economically made
10 look little like fur; brushes of all
Rorts and conditions uncomplainingly
maneuvered by all women who wear
gowns.
1t is wonderful how universal the
brush mania has become. OF twenty
three women who passed me in four
minutes only five were without that
shaggy fur border spinning round and
round most cnergetically at their heels.
1t gets monotonous in spite of the vari-
atoms in its movements, for in the
brush itself there is very little varia-
ton. Almost every street dress of any
pretensions has q skirt after this order:
at the hips it is close fitting; at the bot
tom it becomes fuller and has some
added length behind, more or less ac.
cordlng to the relations sustained be-
tween the wearer's common sense and
her imitativcness; around this added
portion is a roll of beaver or Astral,hnn
or other close mapped or long-haired
fur, or sometimes frill of velvet inst
edged with feathers. When q f1s7

deed, IL seems unjust to expect women

undertaken municipal duties to use such
expensive ppliances-imitation Astra-
Khan is made TO do service, and there
are new short pile pushes woven ex-
pressly TO meet the demand for fairly
durable, medium priced brushes for
winter cleaning.

Egypt, though not an independent

think of what troubles might arise
when the vessels of any other country
wanted to sail through the Suez canal.

[coPYRrGHT, 1921

It is always u comfort when an idea
that has been wavering uncertainty on
the horizon of the brain advancesa pace
or two and allows you with some ap-
proach to definitencsS to make out its
shape. This morning was watching
tall woman dressed wholly in gray.
She suggested something to me, but the
suggestion was tantalizing because SO
dim and misty in its outlines. Her
dress was tailor gown of deep Russian
gray, in which she doomed big and inn
posing. Over it was IL coat of gray
velvet trimmed with gray silk passe-
menterie and fur, which looked won
cesse bonnet of the same material, with
full gray ostrich tips, relieved by
one scarlet feather in the middle
The gray velvet strings and bow were
lined with the vivid relieving color.
But it was something about the bot
tom of the dress which teascd me with
an idea that seemed to be playing hide
and seek and never fairly coming into
view. There was a band of gray As
trakhan at the foot and above that q
three-inch heading of gray velvet; the
skirt was long in the back, of course.
and as its wearer passed in state and
dignity, head up, chest out, some sort
of small scarlet flower ablaze on her
bosom, the shaggy border seemed to
turn over and over, whisl1 itself about
with it's tapping tongues upon the pave
mept in righteous zeal to do it's full
duty in life, and as looked at it knew
it was mutely trying to remind me of
revolving street brush and was giving
itself an extra roll OF two of playful
congratulation because it saw that at
last it had succeeded
said it was comfortable to force an
idea into declaring itself, but when the
idea spoils bright winter promenade
the comfort is only momentary; for
once the eyes are opened it makes the
head swim to look up, down and across
and see nothing but brushes, brushes,
turning fast, turning slow; black
brushes, brown brushes, gray brushes;
big brushes that turn with pompous
dignity behind O portly matron in veil
~ets and brocades; little brushes that

and rather lighter green cloth rcdin-
cote almost covering it and fitted with
scrupulous eXactness to the figure
About the tunic is band of glossy
green lophophore feathers, more Of
which edge the wrists and neck. The
redingotc is turned back from Il high
cloth collar at the throat with deep vel
vet revers, and over the girls smooth
black hair is green velvet hat with
green feathers and ribbons.
The green girl mods to a girl with a
boa. The boa is worth seeing. All this
worlds boas are large; this one is very
large, indeed. The girl who wears it
seems To get the cue of her toilet from
the long lashes of her gray eyes. Her
face is not at all noticeable except for
hereyelashes, which droop like fringe.
Everything about her is clcvcrly de-
signed to heightcn the effect of this pc
culiarity. Her dress is gray viquouue
its plain skirt is trimmed with three
rows of the hairy fur of the gray Mon
golian goat. The fur bands are in
themselves very narrow, but the long
hairs hang down all around. The
round mantle has two short capes COW
ering the shoulders, and both capcs and
mantle are edged with narrow glitter
ing steel braid winlsing over the top of
more long fur fringe. About the top Of
the standing collar is disposed the huge
round boa, its ends reaching almost to
the ground, its smooth silky hairs droop-
ing curtain-lillc most decorously. The
gray felt hat is non-committal enough
with its steel and velvet trimmings and
its bunch of stiff feathers in two shades
of gray not to interfere with the gen
cral effect of the whole outfit, which is
eyclashes and eyelashes and eyelashcs
over again. 1t Ia lles an uncommon
pair of window curtains to stand this
sort of iteration.
1t doesn't take many minutes on the
street to bring to notice all sorts of
novel things in millinery. There are
small hats round as plates; now one in
black felt with 81 pink velvet crown dot
ted with jet and now one in gray felt

another touch of white shows about the
person. Ruched wreaths of ribbon are
used for trimmings and match with
feathers and fur almost as oddly as do
the muslin ruches that are hitched with
fur capes in most incongruous company.

just passing. 1t has a stand-up Medici
