Answer to the New York LIES Pc
tition in Federal Court.
ARRANGEMENT OF MCCALL
CROOKED INSURANCE DON'T GO
IN MISSOURI.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, Dec. 2.-W
D. Vaudiver, state superintendent
of insurance, through his counsel
Attorney General Hadley, W. T. Leh-
mann and John NJ Wood, today filed i'm

reply TO the petition of the New York
Life Insurance company in the inJuue-
ton proceedings recently instituted by
the New York Life company 10 over
throw his order revoking its Missouri
license.
All Rights Forfeited.
Superintendent Vandiver charged a.
the time he ordered the cOmpany's IL
Cense revoked that the New York Life
had forfeited its right to continue
business in Missouri. He cited the les
tfmony brought out before the New
! York legislature investigating commit
tee TO the effect that President Mccall
and his associates had during four
years past spent large sums OF money
to secure desired state legislation and
in campaign fund contributions.
In the reply filed today, Mr.. Vandi-
Yer accuses President Mccall of de-
bauching public morals, coTupting leg
islatiOn and loOting the funds of policy
, holders by eXtravagant ventures and
reckless speculation.
Answer Is Complete.
The answer fills ten typewriter
pages 1t contains direct and severe
attacks on President Mccall, Vice
President George W. Perkins and other

reefs snecific attention 10 the charge
that Mccall and Perkins have, in bad
and questionable real estate invest
ments, lost 100000 Of the company's
money. He maintains that the Mis-

right TO require insurance companies

insist on election of new officers and
the adoption of methods that will in

Free Trade in Philippines.

Mr.. Williams said that the Demo-
cratic party favored free trade for the
Philippine islands. 1t did not believe
that these islands should bd retained
by this government, but it did believe
that they should have all the benefits
accruing under the American flag as
long as that flag fioated over them.
Concerning the predominant question
OF railroad rate legislation, he declared
that such regulation was in accord
with the general Democratic principle
OF special privileges to none and equal
opportunity TO all He congratulated
the country on the fact that the presi-
dent and hia followers had accepted
this Democratic idea and declared that
without the aid OF The president the
Democratic party could do nothing At

THE TRAINING OF GIRLS.

The qualities of bodily excellence
in woman are distinctive, and to these
her training should tend. The games
and exercises which develop quick
ness and accuracy of perception and
response, firmness and gentleness Of
hand, steadiness of poise and grace
OF movement, that grace which comes
from the application of just enough
will power and no more than is need
ed to do certain thing well-these,
rather than the rougher and heavier
sports which pile up muscle, are the
fit pastimes for a girls. Even if she
should miss little of the training
in holiness and tenacity which her
brother is supposed to get in the ath-
letic field, this would be better than
to have her loose the finer touch, the
lighter step, the easier motion, and
the sweet restraint of body that be-
longs to one whose senses are deli
cate and whose personal preferences
are at once nice and sure. In the
work that she has to do precision and
refinement are likely to count for
more than mere force. Man builds
the house. Woman keeps and orders
it.-Henry van Dyke, in Harper's

PRINCESS DRESS AGAIN.

Dame Fashion, it seems, is never
content unless the princess dress is
in some ort of vogue. If it be not the
princess dress complete, there Is
certain to be some one mode in which
there are at least princess sugges-
lions. One of these modes is the
princess skirt, which is never entire
ly "out." 1t is noted in connection
with an Elton coat, the whole being
done in rose drap d'ete. There's the
necessary touch of embroidery on the
Elton and the three-quarter sleeve,
somewhat puffy, is finished with lin
gerie frills.
Though the coat be beauty, 1t
requires more skill to accomplish the
princesse skirt, as complications will
arise in its development. This par
ticular example is in IL cores, and
just below the hips it resolves itself
into a box-plaited skirt. Above this
point it is as exquisitely fitted as is
possible. It reaches to the height
of an ample girdle and is held up by
means of supender-like traps that
show hardly at all, even at the front,
where the little coat is open.-Roch-
ester IN. W Post Express.

WINDOW CURTAINS AND CHAR
ACTER.

Who says that the outside OF
house does not tell the story OF its In
terror? If one only looks at the
shades on the windows he can say
whether the feminine owner is neat
and particular woman or a woman
with slovenly ways. whether she be
quietly self-possessed or nervously ac-
tive.
Telling character by window cur
tains is new fad. If the shades OF a
house are invariably in the center OF
the glass panes and always hand in an
even line, then it is safe to pronounce
the heusekeeper quiet, orderly wo-
man whose nerves never get sharp
ened into edges.
If, on the contrary, one curtain is up
and one down, or one string missing
and the other tied into tangled knots,
or one stick broken and the other one
living on the bias, then the reader OF
character promptly chronicles the
woman resident as possessor OF a.
nervous, irritable temperament, or as
one too Indifferent to care for the
little things of life that combine TO
make the great things.-Womans

TILTED PICTURE HATS.

Everything this season is French, :"
remarks the New York Evening Post.
1--WE have been accustomed to receive
fashion edicts from Paris, but 1t does
not follow that French traditions are
invariably observed in French modes.
The picture hat, for example, has al
ways been the hat OF Galnsborougn
and Reynolds. This year, however,
the picture hat is copied from French
portrait painters, Vatican notably
The result to the eye is not altogether
pleasing. There is plenty OF dash to
the new hats, but little of real or
enduring beauty. Unfortunately, the
tilted hat requires elaborate hair
dressing. Some of the coiffures seen
in the beauty shops and at the thea
tiers are monstrosities of style. The
latest is a pair of twin pompodours on
either side of the head, with huge
bun in the back the whole held in
place by numerous combs and pins.
When the hat is adjusted, the various
pompadours are pulled out to fill va
cant spaces, so to speak. Wherever
the tilt of the hat leaves chasm
the hair is pulled in manner to pre-
serve symmetry The effect is better
when the hat is on than when it is
on.
1.-THE worst of the matter is that
nearly all the new coiffures involve
waving the hair with hot irons, which
everyone knows is destructive to the
last degree. Even children's hair is
artificially waved, it is said. 1t is the
fancy of the moment to arrange
little girls hair in very low, droop-
ing pompadour on top of the head.

rest of the hair is allowed to fall on

falling forward over the brow is al
most characteristic. The forehead
seems to be going out of fashion. as
it did some time ago in England. The
hair on the forehead is much waved
and rather stifhy arranged. All kinds
of combs, pins and hair ornaments are
in vogue, and for evening wreaths,
flowers and aigrettes are worn.

be adjusted oyer so much hair and

BROOMS MADE FROM WOOD
FIBER.

The newest brooms are made from
wood fiber instead of corn. The fibre
are shorter, and are set like brush,
which is attached to the usual sort OF
handle by two strong Tres. These
fibres penetrate the nap of carpet
and take out the dust. They also fit
into the edges and corners of the

The newest mop has a scrub brush
which fits firmly upon the end and
makes it possible to scrub without
getting down upon ones knees. The
brush can be removed and the usual

the bath. When the salt is irritating
to the skin, take a warm bath and
sponge off with mixture of violet or
lavender water and alcohol, about
half and half, and rub briskly with a
