DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP.

Outside OF New England the election returns are
such as 10 give new hope TO those who still retain
confidence in the Democratic parry When the
first returns from the middle states and central
west came in they seemed TO indicate that the
voters OF many sections were dissatisfied. This
dissatisfaction shown in spite OF the fact that
radical leaders in some places had done real harm
10 genuine Democracy and i'm other places there
was an entire absence of leadership.
The signal increase in the number of Demo-
Gratis elected 10 congress under most adverse cir
cumstances can be taken as proof that the people
are not satisfied with the prospects of Republican
rule after Mr. Roosevelt has retired from the pres-
dency. There many Democrats who believe
the country can be best governed only by Il
triumph OF those principles TO which the Demo-
cratic party has been historically devoted, the prin-
ciplcs of the constitution. Many of them voted
the party ticket last Tuesday, though not satisfied
with party leadership or lack OF leadership.
The situation in Pennsylvania must be dis
couraging to those who have heretofore believed
IN reform within the party There over
turn there last year, but the party in the keystone
state is now dominated by the Penrose machine,
which Is menace to good government and civic
decency.
The defeat Of Senator Colbys reform move
ment in New Jersey led to the reputation OF many
Republican candidates at the polls. How strongly
the people OF New York are aroused TO the in
competency OF the Republican leaders to deal with
present problems is evidenced by the fact
mat not WltHSldndlnS the distressing burden OF
Hearstism and the bad effect Of the newspaper op-
position to the head OF the ticket probably most
of the candidates OF the Democratic party were
successful
The Democratic party must trust a great deal to
the developments of the coming year and hope that
some new leader will arise who will while true 10
the party, yet have sufficient discernmcnt to grasp
the really important present questions, and ques-
tons that may become important i'll the future. At
the present time every indication points to the be-
lief that two years from all the national
Democracy will need is able leadership.

THE WOMEN'S CORNER
LITTLE COATS FOR
DRESSY OCCASIONS

Fashion has bottled up much OF ~
smartness i'm the delightful little coats
which one finds at every nand yet In In
finite variety. Two OF the latest models
are sketched here, both developed In soft
satin finished cloth in the palest cream
shades. The coats are innocent OF any
thing like snugness. yet they follow the
lines OF the figure to a certain extent, es-
pecially In the case OF the first design.
The front Is plated below an elaborate
bolero effect OF stitched cloth bands en-
broidered with narrow white silk braid.
The full sleeves open In original erect
at the back where they are edged with
little ruchings OF white silk. A broad
band of white silk braid il stitched upon
the sleeves at the cuffs
With the exception OF narrow frills OF
lace upon the sleeves, the second model Is
self-trimmed, tucks and bands OF the
white cloth being employed for very
smart decoration upon the front of the
coat This idea finds repetition in the
sleeves. There In a narrow vest OF cloth
trimmed with tiny white crochet buttons,
but large white cloth buttons are used
to hold in place the ends OF stitched folds
wherever such treatment adds TO the ef-
fectiveness OF the decoration. Although
white is rather an expensive color" IL Is
seen more than ever this season, being
used for all occasions and In all fabrics.

SIMPLE LIFE GIRLS
CATCH HUSBANDS EASILY.

II tho young lady who wrote that
men are too selfish to marry would re-
alize the fact that the average girl knows
more about the Paris fashions than she
does about housekeeping, the reason why
men don't marry would quickly dawn
upon her. The men whom she speaks
of could probably support wife but not

The women Of this generation have
plunged into an extreme Of childish

grandmothers the better for the nation.
