WASHINGTON y. C.. March 8.-The
Democratic Senatorial caucus. which met
to-day, organized by electing Senator
German to his old position as chairman OF
the caucus. This Is q permanent place
and assures him tho occupancy Of the
Democratic conference room, one Of the
most commodious and best located COM
mittee rooms In the Senate end Of the
Capitol, He made o brief speech In as
suming the chair, and the conference then
proceeded to other business, There were
present twenty-eight Of the th!rty-three
Democratic Senator's.
Senator Germans nomination as chair
man was suggested by Senator Bacon,
and there was no opposition. In taking
tho chair he thanked the Senators for
the honor conferred, but did not mako an
extended speech.
There was general feeling that the va
cancles caused by the retirement OF Dem
ocratc Senators from committees which
have been appointed to deal with ques-
tions before the present called session
should be filled by Steering Committee.
The Steering Committee OF the past Con-
gress has numbered only seven members,
but Senator German requested that the
number be increased to nine; this increase
was decided upon.
The committee Is empowered to negotl-
alto with the Republican Steering Com
Mite with view to entering upon a
general reorganization. There Is no doubt,
! however, that the Democratic Steering
Committee will Insist upon having some
dt the committees filed for the reason
that the Democratic party has lost quite
haavily In some of the committees which
are In control of present business.

tee was named. It consists OF Senators

THE FAD FOR
FASCINATING CAPS

Caps are coming into vogue again.
The average woman will take that
statement with grain of salt If she be-
lieves that any modern matron is going
to adopt bit of muslin and lace for a
head covering, no matter how becom-
ing it may be, to denote that her friv-
oious days are over and that she is set
Ting down to domestic affairs. But
she need have no fear. The modern
cap is thoroughly up-to-date. 1t is so
entirely modern that it is called cap
by concession only and is really a
drapery of lace for the head.
A New York woman who is consid-
cred one of the best dressed in the city
is never seen in the morning without
this little drapery of lace for the head.
She is noted for soft flowing style
Of costume. Her morning robes are
dainty affairs of silk and lace falling
in soft lines, and the pretty lace scarf,
which she always throws on over her
head, and, upon occasions, ties loosely
under her chin. is wonderfully becom-
ing.
The woman Of to-day lives in a
strenuous life, even If she has less to
