Washington, March 8. Most of the
new senators were on the floor when
Vice President Hobart called the SEN
ate to order at noon. The other sem
ators were not so prompt in making
their. appearance. The galleries, save
that reserved for the diplomatic corps,
We're thronged with curious visitors.
As soon as the blind chaplain had de-
livered his invocation Mr.. Pruden, the
presidents executive clerk, appeared
with the nomination of a pension
agent at Detroit. IL
Some routine business was trans.
acted before the senate went into ex-
ecutive session. Mr.. Elkins of West
Virginia presented a long memorial
from the legislative assembly of New
Mexico praying for certain mining
legislation, and Mr.. Carter of Mon
etana series Of memorials from the
legislature of his state in favor of the
passage Of the postal savings bill, and
in favor Of constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of
United States senators by the people
and also in favor of the government
management Of the Union Pacific rail-
way. The last communication of ex-
Secretary Lamont, dated March S,
transmitting certain papers called for
by q resolution of inquiry was laid be-
fore the senate. At 1912, on motion
of Mr.. Burrows of Michigan, the SEN
ate went into executive session. The
balance of the session was devoted to
executive business. and ut los the SEN
ate adjourned until Wednesday.

Beyond the usual notification to the
president nothing further was done.
The cabinet appointments were all
confirmed practically without opposi.
rtion. There was for time threat Of
opposition to Mr.. Gage as secretary Of
the treasury because Of his financial
views and because he is banker, but
there was more Of this among the SEN
sRtors in the cloak rooms than in the
Senate.
The senate went into executive SEES.
sion promptly upon the receipt Of the
nominations and as coon as the an
Mouncement was made Of the appoint
ment of Senator Sherman, whose
name headed the list, he was con-
firmed. It Is the practice to refer all
nominations to committee, but 1t was
the desire of Mr.. Sherman's friends to
signalize their regard for him by i'm
mediate action. There was more form
than reality in the reference Of other
nominations to committee. Not one Of
the committees held formal meeting,
they being polled on the floor of the
senate In every instance. No objection
was made in committee to confirma-
ton. While the polling was being
made the appointment of Mr.. Bliss as
secretary Of the interior occupied at

his cabinet, they still felt constrained
to point out the fnadvisability of Sc

for position which requires the exer-
else of so much legal ability. Senator
Hoar Of Massachusetts paid a. high
tribute to Mr.. Bliss, pointing out that

secretary Of the interior were prepared
by law clerks. Senators Lodge and

strain, calling attention to the fact that
Zachariah Chandler had made IN &C.

Our Nervous American Ladies should Gull
tivate Repose of Manner.
American women are lively, well ed
ucated and we'll dressed, but they are
the most nervous creatures alive. There
is a perpetual unrest and jumping about
in their habitual manner which, with
out meaning any slang at all, makes
one tired Simply looking at our WON
en-, perpetually moving like gnats dane
ing up and down in the sun, is exhaust
ing. If you sit near two of them In
street car and watch their talk, you VIII
find that they expend twice as much
nervous energy as is necessary with ev-
ery word or motion. One trots her foot,
another twists her umbrella tassel. an.
other grips her handbag as if she were
trying to hold up ton. This painful
nervous tension accompanies them III
eyery action. Their heads bob, their
ewes roll, their fingers twitch, and their
jerky, hurried conversation is more
wearisome than anything else. Ihey
talk as if they had 1000 words they
wanted to say and only the time for say
ing 100. No wonder American women
are subject to painful nervous affections
and breakdowns. 1t would be wonder
il they were anything else. Their nerves
seem somehow to I've on the outside OF
their skin instead of inside. Now. this
is pity. 1t keeps them from accom-
plishing anything like the good work
they might do. 1t makes Thorn dyspep-

not do it. Howi Simply by cultivatins

Central hall, being entertained with
"some fine music on the old spinet,
the same which is still preserved III the
school.
Washington seems to have been we'll
pleased with the school, for 1t was on
his recommendation that his niece, Mrs
Thomas Lee, afterward, in June, 1876,
brought her daughter, the charming
Eleanor Lee, as a pupil. Indeed the llst
of daughters and wives of eminent men
of those early days, as we'll as OF later
times, is a long one-too long to be gwen
here.
The household arrangement, as well as
the course of studies, has OF course been
modified and changed from time to time
TO keep pace with modern demands and
requirements. The scope of the school
has likewise been greatly enlarged ana
the methods and range Of studies brought
thoroughly up to date. so that now the
institution virtually comprises under 1t

inc so graded that it forms consistent
and complete unity. The college COM

not acquainted with the principles OF

tive and essential principles OF Comenius
and the Moravian system OF education

been only more fully and logically ap'

idea of education as training OF the
entire human being is insisted on-first.

There is "a border of dyed beaver all
around it about four inches wide ex-
tending up the fronts. Two gilt cookie
shells are set on each side of the bust,
with simulated buttonholes back OF
them. Down each side of the coat under
the arm there is stiff arrangement OF
braiding done in dark brown soutache
of different widths. The cuffs are also
deeply braided in the same style. This
is very comfortable coat and a very
elegant one, and it is particularly well
designed for middle aged lady, though
quite suitable for "a young one.
A more jaunty coat was of navy blue
cheviot in close weave. The coat was
tight fitting and had the skirt laid in
deep box plaits. Extending down these
were lines of rich braiding done with
jetted braid. The sleeves were braided
up to the elbow. The collar was faced
with astrakhan, and this collar rolled
at the neck, forming revers which reach

one row of braiding down the center.

to mind the fact that another school of

OF being the first and Oldest board school

try. 1t was founded by the Moravian

the great educational rcformer and Mo-

education for women, also the piopCer

gogic principles in America which are
now being more and more recognized AS

The school still occupies as one of its
cluster of six large buildings the old
Central hall, erected in 174S, a plain,
massive, gambrel rooted structure, and
one hallowed by multitude of associa-
tions which must appeal to every patriot
and lover of history. During the stir

as a hospital for the sick and wounded
of the continental army, and within its
walls no less than 500 of that army
died, being buried along the banks of
the little creek that flows hard by. In
those and Immediately following days
the school was visited by many distin-

In l777 the continental congress spent
some time in Bethlehem, and its mem

When snow is heaped up outside and
icicles depend from bough and caves,
women stand shivering outside the show
windows locking at the things provided
for the spring. Next week all the dainty
cotton goods will be on view-that is,
the colored ones. Now we see only
white stuffs. They are, so far, of the
more Opaque varieties, such as main
sock and swiss muslin, with deep but
very openwork embroidery scattered
over them and along the edges. These
are arranged so as to be made into loose
blouse waists and plain skirts with shir-
red rows at the belt. In one or two cases
the skirt was scalloped deeply at the
bottom, and under the edge was sewed
row Of fine valenciennes, showing only
between the scallops. Light ribbons

The coats are exceptionally pretty,
and they are tastefully ornamented, too,
with many devices. Braiding is ia

labor required for getting foundations in

there are more than n dozen s-inch con-
