WISH FOR FEATHERSES.

Sultanas Are Poor Writers, but Stick
to Their Subject.
The ladies of the Levant are not
afflicted with cacoethes scribendi.
They do not worry the book reviewer.
They seldom write letter, and II
they do the style is naive, and they re-

as purely private enterprise.
Here is one from the imperial
seraglio with an autobiographic basis
that defies even Dutch commentator.
It is from a sultana to her commits

"Constantinople-M Noble Friend:
Here are the featherses sent. My

Accessories.

Feather boas will be much worn
again for fall, and the round ostrich
feather ones which have no rival for
beauty will again be the ambition OF
the well-dressed. Ombre effects in
these are beautiful, especially in gray,
shading from light to dark at the ends.
They come in natural, black, white and
pale shades for evening. The favored
boas are very full and handsome and
measure from yard and quarter to
two yards and a half. AS to neck
wear models, there is little change.
The tab remains. Fine drawnwork
sets will continue their vogue for
morning wear and the silk and lace
models for dress occasions, while
spangles and beads will ornament
them to great extent.

Alone.

AIONCs
He has not any home
Save what he hires;
He warns his weary limbs
Aa alien fires.
No woman clasps his hands
Within her 0wain:
No children swell his pride
Or soothe his pain.
He has no memories sweet
To brood upon:
No ecno of little feet
Before him gone.
Times wintry winds lay bare
His massy head;
The weight of age and care
Is in his tread.
How will he meet that hour
When, overthrow
His dreams of place and power,
He falls alone?

PRESIDENT NICHOLS
OPPOSED TO CHANCE
Not in Favor of That Recon-
mended in Constitution by
Strike Commission


Scranton, Pa. Dec Z. - President
Thomas D. Nichols. of District No. J.,
United Mine Workers Of America, gave
out an authorized interview. in which
he declared himself as being opposed
to any amendIrent of the organiza-
tion's constitution. recommended by
the mine strike commission in its
award. This matter is to come up at
the national convention in Indianapolis
next month. The commission suggest
ed, among other things, that boys be
given no chance to vote for delegates
TO conventions called to consider
strikes, and that no strike be declared
by less than two-thirds Of all the dele
gates present. Mr.. Nichols does not
believe in amending the constitution
at all. "Our constitution" he said is
an elastic one, and because Of this fact
it should not be amended so as to pro-
vide for specific things such as recon-
mended. If it is so changed 1 feel con-
fident that it would be found extremely
difficult to harmonize trade agreements
with it, That would certainly be detri-
mental both to the miners and to the
operators"
Mr. Nichols said that boys at pres
ent are allowed only half a vote and
that on this basis they constitute only
10 per cent. of the voting strength Of
the union. To keep them in the union
it is necessary to give them some say,
and the keeping of them In the locals
with the men prevents the declaring
of many petty strikes, rs said. Per-
sonally he favors a two-thirds major
ity in the declaring Of a strike.
