A Dangerous Situation.

The tramp would be easy enough to
deal with but for the man out Of work
who is looking for chance to earn his
living. But for these the workhouse
and the stern rule that if man does
not work neither shall he eat would SET
tie the tramp problem. But how to sep
arate the two classes, how to provide
employment for those who are willing
to work and force those to work who
*are not willing is a question that the
United States must solve. There is dan
ger in such a situation as the present.
There are thousands, many thousands,
who can he turned from the ranks of

wandering habit is easily fixed. It needs

ness to accept or demand charity, to tur1

POPULAR TEA GOWNS

Their Variety Is Endless-Somc Are Com
Portable and Simple In Effect; Others Are
Elaborate Affairs. -
Is there a period when tea gown does
not offer itself persuasively as garment
to be included in ones wardrobe? The
answer appears to be that whether it is
spring, summer, autumn or winter a
new tea gown is a desirable addition.
The words tea gown nowadays are of
wide significance. They cover all sorts of
indoor dresses, from simple morning
robe to the elaborate garment in which
one may receive formal callers in ones
drawing room.
Morning robes are trimmed so beau
tlfully with lace and ribbon fummery
that one scarcely knows them from tea
gowns Some Of the models are charm
ing: One of pale yellow delaine, flow
cred with carnations, with pretty pulled
sleeves, was trimmed about the neck
most becomingly with lace and had yell
low ribbon tied in a bow at the bust
Another that was simpler, but quite as
taking, was Of cream delaine, with a
design of mauve orchids. This was mere

" trimmed with sailors collar edged
with lace. A charming French robe is
made Of a wooden material, in pink and
white, with a neat check. The sleeves,
vest and sash are Of plain white wooden
stuff; and the rufdes at the wrists, as
also the collar, are trimmed with pink
bebe ribbon.
Tea gowns this season are fashionably
made Of crepon and silk. For instance,
one made in black crepon falls full from
shaped yoke of rose pink bengaline,
striped with jet, the large sleeves being
entirely made of bengaline with deep
frills of black lace over the top and at
the wrists. Another pretty gown was in
yellow crepon, with a white silk yoke,
outlined with vandyked band of black
watered ribbon, covered with cream COL
ored yuipure. A dainty arrangement
was IF cream colored crepon, decked
with sleeves, and zouave Of buttercup
yellow velveteen, and an ideal bedroom
dressing gown was made Of silk of pale
blue, with revers from neck to hem, out
lined with white thibet. The luxuri-
Gus invalid might indulge in this last
with comfort and elegance, for, in truth,
there is not a garment so comfortable to
wear as the dressing gown, while the
pale blue and thibet would make plain
woman look well. A tea gown worn by
q pretty young matron was attractive in
its simplicity. Draperies Of white CASH

mere, edged with silver braid, cut low
at the neck, sack back, fronts crossing
loosely and held in place at waist by a
silver plated girdle.
Less elaborate affairs are the tea
gowns in crepon of any desirable color,
more simply fashioned and less extrava-
gantly trimmed. A very pretty style is
furnished when silk is employed for the
fronts, especially when it is shocked or
gathered at neck and waist A dressy
effect may be gained by the addition of
lace shoulder capes and revers. Another
attractive crepon tea gown is one trim
med with rows of insertion or embroid-
cry and made with triple shoulder capes.
These last two models are equally pretty
made in cashmere, or, when for midsum-
mer wear, of French challie, which is
one of the coolest Of all wool fabrics
1t also wears well.

Waite Knows WOlcOtt.

In an interview concerning Senator
Wolcott's speech Oh the Coxey move
ment Governor Waite said:
Mr.. Wolcott is incapable Of taking
q broad and statesmanlike view of any
question: He was not elected for any
such purpose, and he sits in the United
States senate, the paid attorney Of a rail-
road corporation, to look out for railroad
interests which are largely concerned
in the commonweal army.
LAS to his references to any Of my
statements, [ deny that have said any,
thing to bring discredit or dishonor up
on the state, and challenge the sena-
tor to quote a sentence from my pub
lshed utterances upon the Coxey move
ment that will bear any such construc-
ton.
'How resigned is this hireling of the
corporations that the trusts, the bank
ing and other monopolies should retain
the benefit of all the franchises and
luxurious profits they have robbed from
tire people by ubiquitous legislation!
"Senator Wolcott during his late trip
to Europe and in all the hustle and ex-
element Of expanding his lavish SAL
aries, both senatorial and corporation,
is perhaps ignorant Of the facts in the
case. If he should visit the mining re-
gions of Colorado, he would find vast
hosts Of men and women who have been
without work for months; who have
sold their furniture, keepsakes and their
extra clothing to keep the wolf from
the door. He would find ranchmen liv-
ing on parched corn as their principal
food. He would find real estate selling
