Shirt Waists in Congress.

REPRESENTATIVE Powers of Massachu-

is polling the members OF that popular
organization on the question of wearing
shirt waists in Congress during the
heated term. Personally he is an advo-
cate of the male shirt waist" although
he has not yet started the innovation
by appearing in the halls OF legislation
so att:red The idea, it is said, is
meeting with considerable Endorsement
among the members OF the club. They
think that if their patron saint, old
Tanta.us himself. had been allowed to
wear this sort of a uniform in the re-
gions where overcoats are said to be
unnecessary. he might, in some degree
at least, have been satisfied.
Big Bob" Nevin is said TO BE en-
thusiastic over the suggestion OF meas
ing his 80 pounds in pretty and be-
coming shirt waist with a great deal OF
fullness about the waist Other mem
bers are willing to follow the lead, and
only wait for some one holder than his
fellows TO inaugurate the fashion. The
club was organized for reform, and the
members believe that this would cor
rect the evil of wearing frock coats

climb out OF sight.

Senator Morgan's Bandana.

the most remarkable colored handker
chief that ever famed in the Senate

in the gallery yesterday said.
1t was a violent kind of red. with a
hint of pink and subtle suggestion of
purple as well. Some roses are near
its hue. Also there are plums in the
autumn that are not very different. And
it is to be observed in ladies' shirt
waists at times. 1t was yard square.
Mr.. Morgan read his speech during
the entire afternoon. Senators generally
did not remain in the chamber and the
galleries were deserted There was a
silence such as is seldom experienced
during a session.
The regular tones Of Mr.. Morgans
voice seemed to add to rather than dis
pei the peace of the occasion. Into
this restful quiet Mr.. Morgan suddenly
projected the fame of his handkerchief.
The effect was indescribable. That
there was distinct and marked effect
no one could question.
