A Broad Naval Policy.

George Edmund Foss of Chicago, a
native Vermonter and member of
Congress, has been this summer max
ing a tour of several foreign countries
for the purpose of studying naval mat
tiers. He has visited the navy yards of
Great Britain, Denmark, Austria, 1ta-
ly, France, Germany and Sweden, and
says that he was everywhere received
with courtesy and given opportunity
to see everything of interest.

The First District Situation.

There is only one feasible view of the
congressional situation in the first dis
trict. The people desire change
Judge Powers has represented them
long enough. He has done nothing
that entities him to mortgage on the
position. The people wish to put in
his place G. s. Page. They have con-
fidence in his ability to fifty represent
the district. They have their conf
dence in him because of a record that
stands out clear and prominent, ready
and able to stand the critical inspec-
ton of the public and the blows of any
who wish to belittle it, Judge Powers
has intimated that he will, in due time,
make it known to the people why he
imagines himself entitled to another
term in Congress. At present the in.
dications are that he is quietly making
a canvass in the district in an endeayor
to strengthen his strongholds while at
the same time loudly shouting that
Gov. Page is attacking him through the
press and precipitating an early strug-
gle. He acts one way and shouts an
other. By this he will gain nothing.
What the people want is his reason for
claiming another term. If he cannot
make that known his best course is to
follow the advice that closed the edi-
torial in the Poultney Journal of last
week, entitled, "a Political Trust in
Danger" ,g
1t is no disgrace to step down and out
after serving the people for ten years in
Congress, and the sooner Judge Powers
can gracefully yield the better fol-. him
self and the better for all concerned.
If the judge is as wise a man as one
in his position should be he will notice
the handwriting on the wall and follow
the above advice. hasnnn

We have been so accustomed to think
of the white gowns and long white wells
that it is not easy to change, and I am
afraid that in the dear little hearts
there is Just the tiniest bit of vanity
about their looks. ard they may lose a
small amount of their religious feryor

Why, II was next to being a bride to

Well, this dress is OF brocade thick
| enough TO hang IN massive folds al
, most like cardboard. 1t is of a deli

shades. All over it are enormous this
tie leaves in dull greenish gray.
The skirt is in demitrain and has a
ruching OF slate colored satin an inch
and half wide around the bottom laid
over a rufile OF white crepe lisse, this
in turn having very narrow ruching
OF white chiffon at the edge. The waist
is draped in broken lines TO the belt and
Is cut away at the upper part to show
a guimpe OF rich white lace laid over
crepe lisse. There is around the edge OF
this, like bertha, two inch ruffle, very
full, of lisse with a chiffon border. This
extends down to the left side in surplice
style.
The other dress Is of pink taffeta
with very pale blue printed silk mus
| lin overdress. This combination pro-
| duces a delicate faint purplish hue
most exquisitely soft. Two ruches oi
crepe lisse made OF pink and blue COM
bined go around the overskirt.
There is a directcire redingote OF pink
striped pompadour silk. with dark red
and green fgurlngs down the wide
stripes. This is pointed deeply In front
raised high on the hips to curve down
ward in the back In two long tails reach
ing the bottom of the skirt, Naturally
the back is cut regular coat shape. The
sleeves end at the elbow with lace ruff

Delicate crepe lisse, chiffon and filmy

and more lovely by lace and gauze rib

Some OF the thin fabrics have great
fluffy tufts OF silk upon them in irregu-

or white and In few cases black and
white. the black all running one way
and the white the other. This Is gener-

lace. Sometimes the trimming is put at
the bottom, leaving the upper part

in some OF the dresses, particularly
those for young ladies in their second
season. There is In one model the tight
upper part of the skirt, the harlng low
er portion with beaded passementerie
all around the bottom and richly
draped waist trimmed also with passe-
menterie around the neck and in form
Of O short bolero and also down the
front in Russian blouse form. The
illustration will show the elegant dra-
perry design, which is also carried out
on the sleeves.
This dotted taffeta is always in two
tints. like silvery white over salmon
or shell pink or pale blue, maize or jon
quill yellow or soft sage green. The
dots always are of the darker tint.
Daintier frock could not be found for
very young lady than one Of pure
white taffeta, with a deep flounce set
on In zigzags and made of white crepe
lisse. There is a ruching at the top Of
the founce which makes II appear as II
the silk was a tunic over the crepe
lisse. The baby waist was of lisse over
the silk, with a bertha made of large
white azaleas, with just n faint sus-
picion Of pink at the base of the petals.
Around the bottom of the lisse flounce
there were sewed hundreds of azalea
petals, forming a regular flounce, and
all the way up the lisse hounce were
scattered stray petals of the azalea,
fastened by a loose thread, so that they
fiuttered with every movement. 1t was
so girlish and so dainty that I have
presented picture OF 1t for others to
copy. Rose petals or poppy leaves
would be pretty, too. or any flower
where the shape OF the petals adapt
themselves.
Another extremely pretty gown for
dancing or swell functions generally
where full dress is desired is OF ashen
taffeta. Around the very edge is a
quilting OF gauze ribbon to match, and
around the upper part of the skirt In

legal. II is not clean thing to do. It
should be discontinued by every clean
thinking woman. The subject should
be considered both from q physiological
and psychological standpoint. Physi-
ologically we have but to consider the
bodily impurities that are given off in
the breath of even the healthy person in
order to discountenance the habit of
promiscuous kissing. Let US then con-
slider how much more poison is given
off in the breath Of n diseased system.
"Mothers should guard children from
such demonstrations of affection by the
multitude of emotional friends who
seem to consider child as mere toy
for them TO kiss and fondle at pleasure.
"The psychological influence is also
exceedingly unwholesome. Kissing is
supposed to be a demonstration of re-
gard. In families and among friends
whose regard has stood the test of years
it may be. 1t always loses its sacred
ness when made public display, and
sincerity is lost when we kiss those we
do not even admire. And we have all
been shocked many times in knowing
that gossip has too often followed a
tender caress. The grasp Of the hand is
always sufficient and may express as
much or as little in friendship as we
desire it to. 4"
Those who do not entirely agree with
Miss Lindley may be interested to know
that she is teacher of hygiene and
doubtless considers kissing from pure
ly hygienic standpoint. Probably in the
hypothetical case of two souls with but
a single thought and the parlor lamp
turned low she would allow that hy
giene might be dispensed with
