The mantle of American citi- zenship Is broad as the love and char ity of God. The test Is: faith in the equality of man, and government by the consent of the governed.
 Yet eminent Americans have been heralded as questioning the truth of these fundamental principles. A few years ago a Chautauquan esssyist called the Declaration of Independ- ence a mass of meaningless piatit- tudes. The principle of equality has also benn denounced by many com mencement orators and assembly lee turers Dr. Frank ". GunsaIaus of Chicago once said before the grad uatIng class of the Armour Institute:
 There never was a more interesting falsehood than all men are created free and equal Men are not bora free. There are no equals in this universe of Gods. God is no social :st-"
 In 6 lecture on Socialism, Rev. Thomas J Campbell affirmed:
 Tn political matters the disturbing element is undoubtedly the theory which dominates the civilized world today with regard to the origin of civil power Is that ite source Is in the people; that the people have confer red 1t and can revoke 1t at pleasure. The theory is sometimes expressed in the formula that 'all government is based on the consent of the govern ed; which is absolutely untenabie. Consent is not required for a father to govern his children, nor for God to govern his creatures. Nor is it true of civil government. The police force. the prisons. the scaffoii. are So many denis is Of such a pref -nse
 These are only types which show the trend of academic disc1ssion dur ing the last quarter of a century and such discussion must not be ignored for we must remember that 1t was the academic discussion of the third quar- ter of the eighteenth century that ef- fected the Declaration of Independ- ence and the founding of the Ameriesn nation.
 To say ~all men are not equal' is to say that the American system of no kings. no princes. no dukes, no nobil- sty of any kind except that nobility of character which stands on It's own footing and asks no special recognF ton of the government, is wrong and that we should adopt. perhaps the Enellsh-fhe mildest of all monarchial systems7 Shall we establish royal line with all the prerogat.ves and priv .lsess of royalty7 Gentlemen Of the

should show age. 1t does, however, demand the same reverence for the gray hairs of the old broken down .pensioner tottering to his last home that we are more inclined to give the wealthy banker rolling in his luxuri- GUS carriage on his morning airing. He who lifts his hat to the feeble mother of his coachman or his gar dener with the same considerate gal lantry as he does to the rightly-gown- ed consort of his millionaire acduaint- ance is the true American gentleman.
 As Gcd has the same love for the peasant in his hovel as for the prince in his palace; as he has the same pity for the sorrowing washwoman in her distress as for the rich lady in her affliction: as he detests with equal displeasnre the offenses of the parri- elan and the plebian; as he punishes with equal severity the sins of the mighty and the lowly. and shows his divine mercy alike to the contrite worshiper in the thatched chapel and the penitent habitue of the lofty ca thedra.. so the laws of human govern ment can show no respect of persons, either in language of application. with out violence to the laws of God. who hath said in his word: If ye have re spect to persons ye commit sin" James f.. 9.
 Equality before the law Is then a principle of divine justice as well as of human government.
 Now, with respect to tkat statement in the Declaration of Independence that to protect human rights. "goy- enrments are instituted among men. deriving their Just powers from the ! consent Of the governed" This we are told by the Rev. Campbell is a disturbing element In political mat IteTs;" is absolutely untenable." !" Consent Is not required for a father to govern his children. nor for God to govern his creatures. The police force. the scaffold are so many de nials of such a practice"
 If the governments do not derive iheir just powers from the consent : of the governed, whence come those : powers7 There is but one alterna- tive: the divine right of kings. One must choose between the relation Of J commonwealth and citizen or the re iarion of king and subject. One re- la;ion involves 8 mutual agreement ! between the citizens of a given ter ritory by which all bind themselves ! to she observance of certain obliga- tions involving the surrender of some rights in order to protect and ] secure retained rights.

look as fresh as though just made. The
cleaning business grows apace, and most
of the designs chosen by popular approval
for this sort of garment are well adapted
to clean satisfactorily, but even then it can
readily be imagined that there must be
enough of these garments to have them
always absolutely fresh and immaculate.
Flowered and figured India silks in bright
colors, bound with wide edge of plain
color, fashionable for this purpose, as
they do not soil so easily, but are never
thought quite smart the light colors
and more expensive materials.
The tea gown, that most fascinating of all
feminine belongings, assumes every day
more and more Importance until women
are beginning to feel that item of ex-
pense in the dress account the situation is
bit alarming. Were it not that Dame
Fashion demands that her followers wear
always low cut waists for ball gowns there
would be little difference to the untutored
eye between the modern ball gown on the
picturesque order and the smart tea gown.
There is practically no limit to the ex-
pense involved. Real lace Is not thought
too costly, the most expensive of velvets,
silks and embroiderfes all find their place,
while only an artist in the line of dress
making could possibly evolve such wonder
full designs. The long floating draperies
of lace and pleated chiffon, which are in
tegral parts of every up-to-date tea gown,
add to its grace and beauty, while the
jeweled girdle and the stole made of an alb
solutely priceless bit of lace proclaim that
this is a gown only possible for the
wealthy woman The tea gown of lace and
silk made low in the neck, or, rather, cut
out at the neck-quite a different style
from the waist of the ball GOWNS con-
sidered smart enough to wear in ones own
home at a dinner when there are not more
than two or three guests, but were it not,
as has been said, for the difference in the
cut of the waist, 1t would be quite hand
some enough for a ball room.
The picturesque is always in fashion for
tea gowns, and the changes in empire and
pompadour are endless. Powered silks
make up charmingly, and the draperies Of
lace serve but to soften the design well
as the lines, Supposedly loose fitting, the
modern tea gown is most carefully fitted
and made, the lining filling every line OF
the figure. Unless the figure is too appall-
ingly stout no bones are necessary, but as
slender effect is requisite, the draperes
and trimmings must be SO arranged as to
give long, slender lines.
Plain silks, satins and yelyets all are in
use. the silks of the softer finish and luster,
the velvets on the panne or miroir order,
while the trimmings are much the same

palms of the hands should be turned up
rather than down as in tile other instances.
The third round is completed with three
.Booms
The person who shows the stunt should
not go through the rounds too quickly nor
should he draw attention to the little diff
ferences in each round The point is TO
observe closely and follow out each detail.
Each person around the table will think
there is some trick in the stunt and each
one thinking 1T as easy as A b will want
to try 1t.
After leaving the dinner table another
stunt which causes much amusement Is to
repeat a growing and difficult sentence
from one person to another around the
sroom and see what 1t has become when 1t
reaches the last person. The following is
a good sentence: l. good fat hen. =
Two ducks and good fat hen. 3. Four
plump partridges plucked and drawn, two
ducks and good fat hen. 4. Five hundred
oysters on the half shell with pepper, salt
and vinegar, four plump, etc. 5. Six slim
slender sapIings, five hundred oysters, ETC.
6 Seven pairs of patent lemon squeezers.

points of two or three different designs, for
the loose flowing sleeves are on the kimono
order while the lines of the back are more
like those of the fitted tea gown. 1t Is
not in the least necessary to have these
wrappers made of expensive material, al
though 1t must be admitted that the best
materials show to best advantage; but
there are no end of attractive fabrics that
can be had at comparatively small cost and
which make up to look well and, most i'm
portant of ALL clean or launder SatiSfac-
torily. White Is always fashionable color
but there are charming shades of blue pink,
yellow and old rose, all of which need little
trimming. binding of satin ribbon to
match the material In color or white makes
a good finish, while a cord and tassels in
place of belt will keep the folds of ma
terial in place and accentuate the waist
line. OF course, a lace finish to sleeves
and collar and to the fronts of the wrap
per is attractive; and, after all, lace
washes well, so If lace be preferred it can
be used.
"a matinee is most useful style of gown,
and, while less on the wrapper or neglge
order, is none the less comfortable, as the
jacket Is loose fitting, made without band
or fitted lining. The skirt of the matinee
is short, just clearing the ground, and,
while most deliberately trimmed, never looks
like a dress skirt. Indeed, it is much
more on the petticoat order and without
any fullness over the hips. The trimmings
are founces and ruffies of lace or lingerie,
the pleatings of chiffon, with bows of mar
the foot the smarter the skirt. The Jacket
is long and loose, with jabots of lace and
chiffon, and while not fitted gives the effect
of being most carefully planned to accen-
tuate slender and graceful lines. The
sleeves are long and wide, finished with
lace or lingerie ruffies. An accordon-pleated
Chiffon, silk lace neglige seems to be
about the highest work of art from the
dressmaker's point of view, and while the
outside world may wonder at the prices
asked and paid for this style of dress, the
wearer thereof has the proud consciousness
of being most sEartly clad White again
IS a fashionable color for matinee, but
when made of any transparent material
the lining is, a rule in color and the
bows or rosettes of ribbon match the lin
ing. The exquisite embroideries that have
been so fashionable for the last two or
three years are greatly in demand for the
more expensive matinees, and the hand
work IN all sorts OF lingerie trimming is
most exquisite.

The 1eweled passementeries and embroid-
cries, the plain or embroidered laces all
come into play for the tea gown, and in
just these finishing touches does Individual
taste show to The greatest advantage, ana
really original effects are secured. Again
does the craze for hand embroideres pre-
vail in their use on tea gowns. The work
seems as though Ii must have been executed
by fairy fingers, while the long lines afford
space fer the design to show to best adj
vantage. The patterns of lace also show
off and the fad in embroidery lace here finds
a new field. One model that is made with
the long, loose coat has three lace fiounces
and the design is brought out by embroidery
done in chiffon, narrow baby ribbon or en-
broidery silk, pale pink or yellow being the
most effective coloring. As might be ex-
peeted, this all adds greatly to the cost of
the gown but expense is not to be consid-

that is, one that is absolutely smart and up

lhere must needs be pettfcoats of surah or

nounces, and by rights there should al
ways be either string of pearls or

expected in modern dress and cannot really

Ia III and wrappers are all on the
~ same order of dress and yet each

and individual to the woman
who knows clothes. In spite of the never

1t is the very femininity of these garments
that makes them always fashionable.
There was a time. in the dark ages, we
may say, when the word wrapper con-
veyed nothing to the mind but the picture
of an untidy, slatternly woman clad in a
hideous loose garment, shapeless in line,
ugly in color and texture, and having alb
solutely nothing to recommend it save that
1t was comfortable to wear, easy to make
and cost extraordinarily little money. The
wrapper of today bears little or no re-
semblance to this hideous shadow of the
past excepting that it is loose-fitting
garment. 1t has now been relegated abb
solutely TO the bed room, and the morning

fiction were attired at the early morning
meal with their husbands, has, like that
same common early breakfast, gone CONF

wadded and crinkled crepe bath gowns are
charmingly comfortable and attractive in
appearance also and do not require to be

other materials.
