It IS never so difficult to look well
dressed as when travelling. whether By
land or sea, and the woman who can
appear neatly gowned at the end of a
long Journey deserves the highest
praise. IT taking an extended land trip

the ocean voyage, which may be any

pending upon whether the direct or the

be due time and consideration given to
the selecting of travelling costumes

It's an old story that stage gowns
and costumes are as a rule months
ahead of the fashions, and in some
cases at least creators of fashions, but
this is not so extraordinary when it IS
considered that these gowns are the
product OF the largest establishments
which have had representatives abroad
during an entire summer, for the eS-
press purpose of picking up the very
latest fads in the line of dress. Then
again. the big theatrical production is
planned weeks ahead of it's presenta-
tion, and when the order for costumes
is given to a firm. it is but natural that
these creations should embody the very
latest effects, for it is to the ADVANTAGE
of the costumer to turn out mis- idees
in such shape that the fashions to he
shall be strengthened by force Of ex-
ample.
In a new play that may deal with
some special subject. AL the ingenuity
of the costumer and the actress is re
Quired. however. for when all is said
and done there are certain laws of the
stage that make changes in prevailing
ideas necessary. In The Vanderbilt
Cup" for instance. the play that is now
setting New York agog. Miss Elsie
Janis. the youthful star. had some ex-
[remely difficult problems TO deal with
Aut0mobiling garments. for instance.
furnished a stumbling block for many
days. II would have been simple TO
wear the regulation costume, but that
would not have suited the stage re-
quirements. as there is a decided lack
of color and dajntiness about these.
Therefore. something new had 10 be
evolved that would follow the regular
Tpptnr1uz~ modes nd Al
light and color necessary to give q
good stage picture.
The re. ait has been most happy and

After the election last fall it was
apparent that Ex-Governor Odell
could not long retain his position as Re-
publican boss OF New York State, says
the New York Public Opinion. His down
fall has now been brought about in con-
nection with the election of a new
Speaker for the Legislature. Odell had
his candidate ready. But Governor Hig-
gins also produced a candidate In the
person of James w. Wadsworth, Jr.,
and after a bitter struggle for votes in
the party caucus the Higgins forces won.
1t is certain that PRESIDENT Roosevelt in
tervened. The weight of his influence
was with Governor Higgins, n it Is
reported that before the war began he
insisted s~trenuously that the New York
machine must be purged. Ii, under the
new auspices. the Legislature passes a
satisfactory ballot law and takes steps
to insure better representatives in TIE
United States Senate than Platt anu De-
pew, the people will nave much to be
thankful for.

The insurance Investigation is at an
end. The New York Legislatures COM
mittee completed the taking of testimony
On December 30, and it's report Is now In
course of preparation. For the evils
discovered many remedies. doubtless.
will be offered, and the State will prob
ably take some action. But even If lit
tie more is done. we may rest fairly
content with the effects of the hearings
before the committee, says Public Opin-
ion. The @mere uncovering of evil con-
ditions has in many led to
their correction. The presidents Of the
three largest life companies and many
minor officials nave resigned under fire.
Movements for reorganization under rea-
sonably promising auspices lave been
inaugurated. All these changes have
been brought about by the family quar-
rel in the Equitable which first made the
insurance question an issue, and by the
subsequent probings by Mr.. Hughes.
When things can be seen as they are
they are made right almost automati-
| cally. We have reason to be afraid OF
the dark. The methods OF the guiltieI
insurance companies have been charac-
terized as plain dishonesty. Back OF
| dishonesty is lying-always lying.
