THE HAT In PARLIAMENT.

The Important Figure 1t Cuts In British
Politics.
Nowhere Is the unwritten law Of fashion
In regard to head covering more strict than
at Westminster, says the Yorkshire Post.
The chimney-pot Is de rigueur. A man may
give his fancy considerable play in the
matter of clothes, but the great hat ordin-
ance must be observed. The only con-
cessi0n made Is In the case Of the mes
sengers Of the opposition whips, who wear
the plebeian billyc0ck. But this is not be-
cause the men themselves prefer the more
humble headgear. They are compelled
to wear 1t, presumably as o badge
of the fallen condition of their en-
ployers. and when the Government
changes hands the messengers OF the two
parties will, metaphorically speaking.
change hats. To the hater Of the tall hat
the worst of all this is that he may not even
enjoy the luxury of going about without
hat. Parliamentary custom has ordained
that the whips of the respective parties
shall be the only people. save the uniformed
servants of the house, who shall appear In
the lobby or anywhere within the precincts
of the house without hat. Should you
chance to offend against this rule you are
soon made aware Of your delinquency by

who insist on the covered head with
as much emphasis as the custodian of the
Mohammedan mosque Insists on the re-
mOval of the shoes.
The hat. therefore. plays great part 10
parliamentary life, and On that account the
headgear of the new members is very crit
ically inspected by their brother legislators
who have had previous experience of parla-
mentary life. On the whole the budding
statesman seems to have pretty accurate
notion OF what the necessities of the sitna-
ton demand, and the hats are en- regle.

Furthermore the qualities and defects of
French paintlng-the predominanco in il of

say. 1t arose In appreciation, that faculty
In which the French have always

1t was eclectic at the outset Compared
with the slow and sVave evolution of Italian

and suggestion TO original views of natural
material rather than as model imitation
and modification, the painting that sprang
into existence, Minerva-like, in full armor,
at Fontainebleau under Francis l, was of
the essence of artificialty. The court of
France was far more splendid then, and

our own painters. the French artists of the
Renaissance found themselves. at the very
beginning of French artistic hisiory-so far
as painting is opcsrned-familiar with

Mrs D. Bowling. tally of her husband
and the excessive use Of alcoholic bev-
erages.
For three months she had lived with her
husband, John +. Bowling, ana little
daughter, at 775 Folsom street. Wretched
and filthy was the home OF the family. They
occupied three cramped. little rooms, into
which pure air and sunshine never pene-
trated.
Last Friday friends removed Mrs BOWL.
ing from the howell to the hospital. DR..
Blake found that she was suffering from
liarrhea and severe beating as well.
There were black marks on the unfortunate
woman's body, her limbs and thighs were
bruised, and her right eye slightly black
ensd.
In feeble voice she told the physician
that her husband had beaten her and that
she never wanted to return to him. Slowly
she sank until l o'clock Wednesday after
noon when death mercifully ended further
suffering
The case was reported to the Coroner
yesterday, and the remains were removed
to the Morgue. DR.. r. +. Williams made
an autopsy and decided that gastro.enteritis
caused death. The demise being from nat
ural causes an inquest will not be held. So
the chances are that the husband will
escape punishment for the suffering he
caused his poor, erring wife.
Bowling could not be found at 775 Folsom
street. INQUIRY ELECTED the fact that he de-
parted with his little daughter, Francisco,
last Monday. He did not say where he was
going and no one seemed to care.
Neighb0rs said that Dowling frequently
beat his wife. For time he worked
steadily along the water front. When he
returned at night he would frequently find
MS spouse lying In drunken stupor. En-
ragged ut finding no dinner prepared he
would beat and kick her numerically.
Several weeks ago the neighbors became
alarmed at Mrs. Dowling's piteous shrieks
and cries for help. A policeman was called
in. He did not arrest the brutal fellow,
but warned him to cease beating the woman.
On one occasion the woman had to go to a
public hospital TO have her bruises treated.
Last Friday when Mrs. Downing asked to
be sent to the hospital her husband refused
to help her In any way. With an oath he
said he would have nothing more to do
with her. For that reason she called TO her
assistance friends VINO sent her to the hos
ifol Ina
