ana navy completed a picture of great
beauty absolutely unique in it's way.
In front of the platform, which was
a bower of flags and plants, was a
court surrounded by forty-five pillars
representing the states in the Union
Streamers were flying from each one,
while the name of each state was dis
played at the top. Between these pill

Headquarters for Minnesota are at
the Raleigh hotel Oh Pennsylvania ave-
nue., where are Mrs. N. P. Jewett of
st. Paul; Vice President General Mrs.
F.. A. Rising, of Winona, retiring state
regent, and Mrs. G.. T. Thompson, of
Minneapolis. Mrs. Prouty, of st. Paul,
is at the National hotel. This morn
ing "wednesday the Minnesota dele
cation assembled and unanimously
elected Mrs. w. M. Liggett state re-
gent of Minnesota, to succeed Mrs. Ris-
ing, who declined denomination. Mrs.
Rising has made a most gracious and
efficient officer and she retires with the
love and respect of all Minnesota
Daughters. Mrs. c. II. Thompson, of
Minneap polls, was unanimously elected
to the office of vice regent.
Senator and Mrs. Foster, of Wash
ingtOn, formerly Of st. Paul, are also
at the Raleigh, where they give a
warm welcome to Minnesota friends.
Mrs. Harrison Foster of st. Paul, is
now their guest, but leaves tonight for
Kentucky, her old home, for a short
visit.
+ Among the prominent women who
are at the congress are Mrs Donald
MacLean, of New York: Mrs. Miller,
of Buffalo; Mrs. Bedle. of New Jersey;
Mrs. Deere. of Illinois; Mrs. Murphy,
of Ohio, Mrs. Coleman, of Indiana
Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, of the Dis
trict; Miss Frazer, of Pennsylvania, and
others.
One of the best known women is
Miss Janet Richards, of Washington,
official reader of each congress and by
many considered the most brilliant
woman in Washington. She has loud,
clear, carrying Voice-but better than
| that-She is able to make evident the
| point of each matter as it comes up
and she has gotten the assembly out
of many a tangle this year, as so often
before. The noise and confusion are
beyond expression at times and the
president general is obliged to rap
vigorously with the gavel all too fire.

Already there is much talk of pres
! idential possibilities for next year,
! there being no election this time, and it
is very evident that Mrs, Donald Mac

but it might with equal correctness be
cut low if desired. in which case, how
ever the lace should be lined with
chiffon, as this gives a much softer
and more becoming appearance.
Lovely hats made of black lace COM
bined with horSe-hair are shown at the
smart milliners for wear with just such
dainty gowns. They are trimmed with
flowers, feathers or fruit of the most
exquisitely soft colors or are kept en-
tirely black. 1t depends upon what the
gown is, for the keynote to smart
dressing this season is harmony of
color.
Among the prettiest fruits shown
for millinery purposes are tiny apples
arranged in clusters with their leaves
to- form a wreath which encircles the
crown of the hat. Some of the apples
are dull green, others have rosy sides
and still others are of the richer reds
and browns seen on very ripe apples.
These colOrS are all in low tones and
blend perfectly with the brown stems
and gray green leaves.
Cherries, currantS and grapes are
also much used, the latter being most
popular for they may be bought in an
infinite number of cOlOrs.
