ELECTORAL PROGRAM.
Constitutional Democrats Says Govern ment Has Strengthened It's DefenHes

COnstitutlounI Democrats Says Govern ment Has Strengthened It's DefenEes
 St Petersburg, Dec. 12.--A new cleo toral program was issued today by the Constitutional Dem ocrats. It is prac- tically as forecastod in the dispatch on November 29.
 In addition to the reiteratiGn of the stock principhs If the party, the plat form of today proclaims prominently the cardinal thought that the new Par liament should adhere to the proper Au- ties of a legislative body. and leave the task of the political organization of the people to the future.
 It acknowledges past blun3ers, warns it's partisans that the government has succeeded in repairing some of the holes in its defensos and says the party is ready for q long and toilsome siege It Incorporates the idea oG local self government in the agraridn question and promises equal rights to Jews and tho members of ether races as the mightiest weapons of the party.
 The platform introduces in definite form the demand that Parliament con- trol the bduget, reform the electoral law and bring about revision of the fundamental laws of the emrire.

REACHED OPEN STAGE.
Hostility Between English Houses Conner
 fa n Heod

to a Head.
 London, Dec. l2.-The hostility be- tween the House of Lords and the House of Commons has now reached an open stage. The lower House. after debat- ing the matter all day, tonight rejected all of the amendments of the House of Lords to the education bill by a v1te of 416 to 107 the Irish members voting with the Government.
 On motion by Augustus Birrell. President of the Board of Education, a committee was appointed te draw up the reasons for the rejection of the amendments. The final scene was one of intense excitement. Lord Lans- downe, leader of the opposition in tho upper chamber and many other peers were in the galleries and listened to the concluding speeches.
 Mir. Rirrall. who throughout the de- bates had a eonciliatory attitude. repu- diated, on behalf of the Government the idea of the opposition. declared that the Governments action was challenge to the house of Lords. The method the Government had adopted, he declared, left not the smallest hope for compr omise.
 MT. AsqEith. the Chancellor e the ExchequeN with equal heat, rttorte1 that if the bill was lost the respon- Sibility Cor wreeking it would lay with MT. Balfour.
 Amidst the greatest excitement. a division was called for and the mem bers of the House surged into the di- vision lobbies when the vote was an- nounced and there was great cheering by the Government members.

It Is true that l have a new costume for every time I appear at the Horse Show. and for the times I exhibit In the afternoon and morning I have nine or ten gowns made for this purpose
 Do I enjoy my clothes? Of course l do. delight in the minute details of a perfect costume. American women are coming to give more attention to details. Why, there was a time when thoy wore black shoes and hose with a light gown.
 My shoes. of course, are an item in my expenses. as I have pair to match every gown. They cost me $50 a pair. I have about fifty pairs year
 stockings? Why, couldn't tell you how much I pay for them a year l wear so many. I pay from $7 for the plain black silk ones up to $50 pair. Do I ever wear a meuded stocking? Never! never! Nor do I wear pair of gloves twice. As I pay sl a pair for my gloves. that amounts to over s1,46o year.
 Handkerchief.
 E There are so many little expenses in well-dressed woman's wardrobe that we can scarcely iteInize. For instance, handkerchiefs alone take a good amount. My single handkerchiefs cost from $25 to $100 apiece and the tiny ones l put in my gloves cost from $5 to s10 apiece.
 Lingerie Is an important item and one which every well-dressed woman loves. My lingerie costs me in the neighbOrhood of $20.O0o a year. Per- sonally, I do not care for furs, but they are necessary for ones wardrobe. l have just purchased a new sable coat and muff and ermine coat. Turs make an item of about s10,Oo0 year.
 T have received letters from people criticising me for my reckless expen- allure on clothing. but do not agree with them in thinking that I am doing wrong. My spending this money for clothes keeps hundreds of people em- ployed What would the work girls do it they had no rich to work for2"
 Aside from keeping money in cii- culation, I believe from an artistic when she has the money t0 dress as beautifully as possible.

quote from a recent interview with her), I believe from an artistic stand point it Is every woman's duty when she has the money to dress as beau tifully as possible
 Keeping money in circulation that one has done nothing to earn is no virtue. It was right and necessary for those who have earned the money to have 1t and to keep 1t in circulation, and to spend 1t as they saw fit.
 And say it is every woman's duty, when she has money to dress as beau tffully as she can possible wish to, and IS doing nothing inareal service to earn that money: it is her duty, I repeat, t2 inquire into the sources of her wealth; who produced it. under what conditions 1t was produced, what is the compensation to those who pro- < tduced it, and why she bears no rela- ton to it should have 1t.
 Would Help WhemseIven.
 Miss Morosini is also quoted as having said: What would the work ing girls do if they had no rich to work .for?' God willing, they would work for themselves. Instead of mak- ing things for idlers they would make things for workers. who would return the courtesy by making things in re- turn for them.
 Women of Miss Morosini's class may not be aware of the fact that hey are paupers. A pauper Is one who, either from inability or unwillingness to sup port himself. is supported at tn eex- pense of the community The truer pauper of the two, 1t seems to me, is he who can. but is unwilling, to sup port himself, and is thus thrown upon the shoulders of the community.
 In a just and fair society and in a state of high civilization, there will be no rom for this later kind of pauper- ism.
 T do not care how much clothing women wear or, how elegant their clothing may be, if they, themselves. or their husbands or fathers, or whoever IS individually morally responsible for their support, earn the money with which they produce these things They are paupers.
 Any adult who renders no service to the community has no moral right to take any wealth from the community. That the class of idler. should have so much wealth as to ruin even their own souls in reckless and extravagant liv- ing, and the class of workers should nave barely enough to keep body and sould together, is the one crying shame of our so-called civiIizatibn.
 Dofng the right thing is more in- dicative of taste and character than wearing the right thing. and in such cases where wearing the right thing Is indicative of lack of taste and lack of character"
 What It Costs to Dress.
 The statement of Miss Morosini which called forth Mrs. Stokes's re- buke was made in connection with her description of her costumes for Horse Show week, and was as follows:
 There is really no end to the amount of woman with money could spend on dress. When say $2OO.OOO a year I am putting the figure very low. A well-dressed woman has at least 100 gowns year. Some of mine cost as
