Time for the Senate to Wake Up.

1t is high time for the senate to
awaken to the. realization of the sit
uatIon and the vital Importance of
speedy action. The pressing ques-
ton IS not one Of schedules, but one
OF action. Any revision now is more
desirable than a better revision six
months or a year hence. Even the
defeat of the Wilson bill and the con-
be widely regarded as better for the
country than indefinite delay and
prOlOngatiOn of the suspense which
is playing such havoc with business.
In this emergency the duty of the
senate is as plain as it is imperative.
1t is to cut off the condemned in

St. Adams is feeling quite happy

Hill is a Profecfionist.
David B. Hills position on the
tariff question reflects credit on his
intelligent grasp of the sentiments
of the people of New York and his
patriotic devotion to the interests
of the United States. The senator
tavors protection for American wage
workers against the lower wage
scale which prevails abroad and de-
mands a tariff which will produce
sufficient revenue for the needs of the
| national government, rather than
continue the current deficit which
necessitates the issue Of interest
bearing bonds.' Senator Hills posi-
ton is not the democratic position.
Indeed, it is in direct opposition to
| the stand on the tariff question
which was taken by the democracy
at Chicago in 1892. But the sena-
tor is not Bourbon. He has heard
from the people, and the election OF
! Quigg in, New York, and Grow in
| Pennsylvania, have aroused him TO
a realizing sense not only OF the
change which has taken place in
public sentiment, but also of the
ruin WHICH is in store for the demo
cratic party, if it shall persist in
making war on American industry.
David B. Hill, like thousands and
hundreds of thousands of democrats,
has been converted to republicanism
by the logic of the past ~ months.

wheel an outfit that ends up in
trousers one minute, and in the next
by a turn or two of the wrist, these
are made to disappear under a regula-
ton dress skirt.
The dress is not only a, theory, but
in actual, practice, Miss Cavyan having
had hers made in Paris, where she
wore it during the summer, and now
it is the envy of New York women.
The suit for the wheel consists of a

with the Zuave costume, be 1T sad,
are of medium fulness, and fail a few

underneath about the knee, where they
fasten in knickerbocker fashion.

This skirt is made to open ali the

any sk.llful rider can, before she dis
mounts, unfasten the strap and slip

she steps off her wheel it slips into

love from the giver as a set of doylies

with dainty wrappings. tied with a rib
bon to match and set off as a. final
touch with a spray of holly or mistle-
toe slipped under the love knot.
The whole Christmas look Of things
and the pleasure they give is largely
the result of such little signs of task
and care in the way of presentation.
Many variations on such methods can
be made. Japanese napkins make
pretty wIappings for small packages.
and they can be selected in various
coloTs with ribbons to match, -or ball
81 gold or silver cord can become a
source of pretty magnilcence at a
trivial cost Pretty baskets and boxes,

are charming too for holding half a
dozen handkerchiefs or pairs OF gloves.
And don't n glect to have all deli
cately perfumed-there is an effect OF
luxury in that tn II mere. expensive
ness is powerless to convey. Six and
velvet boxes are apt to be tawdry, and
if not so at first, they soon become so,
buk if you want to line your b lskets
or make silk mats for the bottoms OF
your lacquered boxes all the better, and
your mats and Hn.ngs make the best
receptacles for holding your sachet
powder.
Again, on the other hand, if you give
a vase or a bit Of china or glass of any
kind, put few flowers in the vase, or

these loop around the arm at the bot
tom of the sleeve and continue back
to the armhole, dragging the sleeves up
short at the inside, and leaving it in
a long puff at the outer line. Finally,
this adorable rig can be finished with

in side pleats that flare out at the
foot, is of a tea mauYe shade scattered
with magenta roses. The lining is a
gros grain silk in a rich orange. 1t is
slightly trained, and the fullness at the
top back, is held in place by hip shir-
rings that form a triangle. The bodice
is in chiffons that shade all the way
from palest pink to deepest magenta.
The shoulder knot is of velvet flowers
toned in the same way; and over the
hugh bow of deep magenta chiffon that
forms the outside of the sleeve, is a
scarf of the pale pink that holds it
down at the center from shoulder to
cuff edge.
Ringing Changes.
If the combinations here given are
not liked. other colors and materials
could be substituted. For example, de-
lightful and becoming effects can be
made with yellow and violet.
If economy is to be considered, make
the skirt of yellow chine silk Powered
with knots of vfolets; have also a cor
sage fringe or shoulder knots of these
real violet in the last instance-and
make the bodice of yellow mousseline
