AS far as appearance goes, the bachelor
girl who prevails at the present time would
delude the unwary into thinking that she
was of the old school. She shuns eccen-
tricities of dress, the unbecoming mascu-
line lines at the one extreme, as carefully
as the rouge-pot and high heels at the
other. Her clothes are only little SIM
pier than those OF her sister in society. She
does not swear or smoke cigars-although
she reserves the right TO do so IL she wish

VINE on Roosevelt.

IN a private letter Mr.. White, the
Russian peace envoy, expressed the
following opinion Of President Theo-
dore Roosevelt:
From q moral tandpoint the pres
ident is "A statesman of large caliber.
He owes his high position, which he
fills more worthily every day, eXclu-
svely to his personal qualities as re-
vealed in actions requiring decision,
tact and clear vision. The world
recognizes this. When one speaks
with President Roosevelt he charms
through the elevation Of his thought
and through that transparent philos-
ophy which permrutrs ms Judgment.
He has an ideal ana strives for
higher aims than IA commonplace
existence presents. In the stubborn
struggles OF our day men like MIR.
Roosevelt have no leisure, for they
are soldiers who cannot be relieved
from the danger line"

itor who has good intuition, as it is
often he has TO use that instead of

political work is only u provoking
