CHURCH AND CLOTHES
No Longer Correct To Wear Best Clothes To Re-
Heious Meetings.

We publish the following article at
the request of a prominent lady oil Fred
erick-hurg:
Ii is not long ago that most of Us had
SUNDAY clothes gorgeous hats and
the like that We're reserved especially
for church services and the walk before
or after the same. But now 1t Is no
longer considered "the thing to wear
your handsome clothes 10 church. II
YOU have Sunday hat, put it away TO
wear to a lawn party. and get out your
plainest every day headgear 10 wear 10
church. The light, fluffy and elaborate
toilette has been relegated 10 the eve
nings for places OF amusement, and in its
place for church wear we find the sim
plest costumes of the most modest colOrs
along with plain hats. Indeed the
woman of fashion seems to have ac-
Quired "a delicate perception OF the fitness
of things and no longerappears IN church

arrayed in dress OF so simple a make
and material a. not 10 attract the at
teniOn or throw into relief the palmer
clothing OF the less fortunate.
For years the clergy OF the big cities
deplOred the tendency 10 Oyerdress IN the
feminine members of Neutrality-suspicious..
knowing full well that no woman attired
in all the agonies of her Sunday best
is in any condition OF mind or body 10
profit by serious sermons and spiritual
truths. The new and elaborate gown,
not Vet quite comfortable and probably
TOO tight in the belt or collar; the new
gloves that pinch and won't buttoDl
the dainty patent leather pumps with
high heels that make standing or kneel-
inga torture. are all lovely tOloOkat, but
we know that they put religious influence
at "a discount. Who OF Us is there that
can rustic up a church aisle in a "crea-
ton" that she knows Is the envy and
despair of every feminine in the con-
gregatiOn. aud then settle her mind on
praver and mediation? II there is such a
woman. she il but little below the an
gels. To the seriOus-minded observers
this move Of our women for simpler
dressing at church services is one greatly
Co be- commended. and shows the practl-
cal good sense that is the heritage OF
most up-tO-date American wOmenn they
will on V Use it, To much feminine finery
NJ church cannot help but offend and be
distasteiul To many.
In the country towns and villages 1t
is still the proper thing to dress TO the
mines" on a Sunday and parade to
church to show off the finest ones
wardrobe affords. but it is ouly a ques-
ton OF time. and they too will learn the
value and fitness OF quiet dressing, and
will no longer distract the bashiul
young preacher from his sermon by a
bewildering array Of fine ladies, whose
expressions seem to announce the TACT
that they are dressed up for church and
hone to be admired.

LETTER TO PvD CONWAY

Dear Sir: No man is in position to
influence men with regard to their prop
erty more than you in that little room
where they tell you their troubles. Pity
if YOU don't know how to keep a house
dry and sound, any sort OF structure,
house store factory warehouse shop barn
fence-any sort Of fence, except rail; with
paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money, ana
putting it on costs twice a. much as the
paint.
That is short; but that's all; it includes
the rest. one paint wears long, another
wears short; bnt the one that wears long
is the least-gallons paint; least-gallons
means pure and strong and most-gallOns
means aduterated and weak, besides
small gallons.
Paint is one Of the biggest interests in
the United States: not the business OF
making it, no, the business OF paint,
taking care Of property. Paint Is worth
a great deal more than it costs, and the
best costs least: DevOe.
Yours truly

THAT NEW YORK CONTEST.

The conflicting rumors that come
from New York are such that no one
can this far from the scene OF the
conflict make any predictions. One
day it is Hughes, the next Hears t.
The betting is by large odds infavor
OF Hughes. What that means no
one knows, it is all speculative. We
rather think the sane, safe and con-
servatiye voters of the great Empire
State will see to it that radicalism
shall not triumph. Good govern
ment, law and order are involved in
the contest. The old time leaders OF
the Democratic party OF the Cleve-
land-McClellan stripe have revolted.
Even Croker has joined the insur-
gents. On the other side it is stated
that a number of the Republicans
have bolted Hughes, especially the
labor element. All sides and all par
ties are divided.

INSURANCE LAWS AND THEIR
ENFORCEMENT.

When the office OF commissioner OF
insurance was created by the last
legislature, there went up a howl
from various quarters in the state
that the Office was unnecessary and
was created to supply position for
Col Button, who was appointed by
the legislature to I'll the position.
We endorsed the movement at the
time as an eminently wise provision
against the numerous frauds that
are constantly being perpretrated in
the name of insurance. Subsequent
events have justified this view, and
the day is not far distant when tie
people generally will come to regard
the Office as one OF the most valua-
BILE precautionary assets in the gov
eminent OF State. The Richmond
Times Dispatch of Nov. LIST contains
the following article in substantial
tion of this view:
There have been number of charters
granted by the State TO fire Insurance
companies which have never complied
with the laws of the State.
Prior TO August I'd Virginia had no in
surance department, and there was con-
seuuently no means provided for follow
iDR Is these concerns and publishing them
n the event Of their failure to conduct
their business properly.
Col. Button, the new Insurance Com
missioner, is looking up all OF these
concerns as rapidly as possible. and Is
making public the names ofall such COM
panies which he is able TO locate.
Complaints have been received by the
department regarding the following COM
pauies, which still retain their charter
rights: ~
National Assurance Corporation OF Viz
ginia. operating from New York; Ola Do
minion Fire Insurance Company. lncOr-
porafed, OF Richmond. Va, operating
IRON New York; Southeastern Fire lnsur-
ancs Company, Incorporated, operating
from Chicago; Virginia Home Insurance
company Opefotink nun niie'N' f'''o'
Guardian Insurance Corporation oler-
ating from New York.
II Is reported that all OF the above
named companies have refused payment
OF their claims.
The department has also received an
INQUIRY regarding the Mount Vernon Fire
Insurance Company, of Alexandria, Va.
which has forfeited its charter for non
compliance with the revenue law
OF course it doesn't follow that all
the companies under investigation
are crooked, but at least the investi-
cation Commissioner Button will
conduct with reference to suspected
companies will show which companies
are not complying with the law.
