CONGRESS- WILL VOTE

Washington May 28.-A fruitless
effort was made Just before the ad-
journment Of the senate yesterday to
secure an agreement on the time for a
vote on the Philippine bill The dis
cussion indicated that some day next
week eventually would be agreed upon,
but no time was fixed. During the dis
cussion, a proposiuon was made that
a time be fixed. on alternate Tuesdays,
beginning next week, for a vote on tho
Philippine bill. the Nicaragua canal
bill and the Cuban reciprocity bill. and
that final adjournment DE agreed on
for the fourth Tuesday, but ii was too
startling to be taken seriously, al.

The disagreement between the house
and the senate as TO the army appro-

length. and a committee was appointed
to meet a similar committee from the

Complexion Of the Cook

Many a woman from her drawing
room has envied the complexion Of
her cook in the kitchen. Why Sim
ply because of necessity the cook has
been living in a moisture-laden atmos-
phere arising from steaming pans and
kettles. while the mistress has been
undergoing the kiln-drying process of
the parlors. She may have been COM
planning that her complexion lotions
have been Intellectual. when in reality
the atmosphere in which she lives
has made these lotions at once neces-
sary and yet inadequate.
Sac takes it for granted, as a rule,
that she must be nervous. Also, that
she must have skin foods and creams,
and powders. is accepted as a fact. But
just why, after all these expenditures
of time and money, the complexion
should still be unsatisfactory, puzzles
her.
Yet, if she were spending a year in
Arabia or in the Soudan. she would
have no difficulty in putting the blame
upon the climate. In her drawing
room-which is worse than either
however. she does not even approach
the real cause.

much admired by horsemen generally
that It became quite the thing for own

under the name Of Tom Ochiltree.
Everything went loFely until Tom
came up to Washington. several months
after assuming his new duties. In the

Our three meal habit is a fearful
tax on our working capacity. 1t trebles
the temptation to overeating. Our
champions stagger under the weight Of
a physiological handicap. One-half Of
the functional energy of the system is
diverted by the exigencies Of digestion.
No other hygienic mistake has done so
much to make us generation of dys-

Notes From WOman'S Realm :


satin finish crepe de chine is very
fashionable for the moment, especially
in black. and is exceedingly handsome.
This is embroidered with chiffon
hounces and nice and regular heavy
embroidery stitch. The same material
covered with minute pointed steel
paillettes is one of the most effective
materials in evening gowns, and is to
be had in white, black or pale silver
gray. A favorite model gown from
last autumn. and copied again this
spring. is made of this material in
black. with an applique of white point
lace in the design of Prince of Wales
feathers. This lace applique goes in
TWO bands around the skirt and across
the waist.and the contrast of the lace
paillettes is most attractive.
A new and popular material is found
among the veilings and goes by the
name OF pOplinette. 1t is much lighter
in weight than pOplin, but has the
same narrow lines through it. This is
especially effective in gray, tan. light
or dark blue; in black it has a curious
lustre. which gives rather a gray tint.
One of the new gowns of this material
is made up over pale pink silk, and
the coloring is most effective, the
poplinette being sheer enough to per-
NIT a simmer of pink to be seen
through the gray. When an entredeuS
of lace is used for the trimming, of
course the pink shows more clearly
under the lace 1t is rather newer
however, not to use the entredeux OF
lace but TO have a fine embroidery of
|steel beads.
Lace and chiffon tea gowns made up
over pompadour silk or muslin lin
ings are considered very smart. The
colored fodnces of the lining yelled
with the lace or chiffon are effective
and dainty, but the plain Innings are
as a rule. more satisfactory. A hounce
Of pink and pale green lining under q
white lace gown is quite a study il
color. and the pale green ribbons worn
with it serve to emphasize the green
in a most curious way.

Regarding Boas and RuiIs

Boas and ruffs and shoulder capes
play such an important part in the
fashionable outfit of today, and Incl
dentany, add so largely to the cost
thereof, that they are the subjects of
much thought and discussion.
To some women-it may be said
the majority of women--the full ruche
around the neck is becoming, but there
are many pretty women whose necks
are short and who when enveloped in
one of these wide, thick ruffs at once
lose any smart appearance. The
shoulder capes or ruffles or pleatings
have again the same effect of shorten
ing the neck, and also the line of the
shoulder. and this whether black or
white is chosen for the color Of the
cape. But fortunately in these days,
when dress is more or less a scientific
study, 1t is possible to 50 manufacture
these ruffs and capes that they will be
becoming. This feat is accomplished
by fitting around the neck or over the
shoulders the foundation, and then on
the foundation sewing the pleats or
ruffes, always with care that there
shall not be too much fullness.
Ostrich and cocks feather boas are
still fashionable, but for the moment
are not considered so smart as the
ruffs made Of lace, net or embroidered
muslin. these last being the latest fad
and to be worn with summer frocks.
A pale yellow net with large polka dot
of the same color makes a smart ruche
ana is in full box pleats around the
neck. the ends being in accordion
pleaus with box pleatings sewed on at
regular intervals.
The imitation light French laces are
thought very smart for all necl1wear,
and are made both in boas and capes.
Then there is the black and white
point desprit or the black point
desprit with fine ruching of white at
the edge All black boas are not SO
smart as black and white-these last
are almost too popular, however-or
the white. especially the ivory white
are smartest Of all. There are few
colored boas worn and those are al
ways worn with hats of the same
color.
For everyday wear the most sensible
and eeIwiceable ruffs and boas are
made of silk and are black. Black
talleta is the favorite material, made
in gathered or pleated rufhes, each
rufhe stitched with white or finished
WIZ hemstitching. The ends are al
ways long and are finished in round
effect Then there are the more per-
ishable. but still fairly practical boas
maze of petals of silk to look like rose
petals, and these are sewed to a
flat band. In both styles there is the
shaping to fit at the back Of the neck.

1t requires about five hours for the
