Mrs. Charles E. Hughes Chief De-

Attractive in Person and Character,
She Finds No Time to spend
Upon Clubs.

Should Charles s. Hughes. governor Of
New York, become the next President OF
the United States. which the trend OF
events, in the opinion Of some observers.
makes constantly more probable, much
interest will attach to the question: Who
is the new first lady of the land?'
Mrs. Hughes was before her marriage
Miss Autoinette Carter. daughter of the
late Walter 5. Carter. who was the senior
member Of the firm OF Carter q Hughes
Charles Z. Hughes was eaken into part
nership by his father-in-law some time
after the marriage. Mrs. Hughes is of
graceful build. tall and slender. though by
no means attenuated. Her features are
regular, her hair dark brown and pos
sessing that "waviness'' which is so much
envied by the woman who hasn't got it,
Her eyes, also brown. are large and ex-
pressive.

She is essentially a wife and mother,
with no club-life to distract her attention
from the important business Of maintain
ing the home which she has made for her
loved ones. The only organizations OF
which she is a member are the Colonial
Danes the Daughters of the American
Revolution. and the Alumnae Association
of Wellesley College. Of which she is a
graduate. She is fond of travel. but only
when her husband goes along. and she is
nearly if not quite as satisfied when sit

Hughes working near by.

and very small they look when compared
with the big mallard decOys. A small
flock OF them is put out In some partly
exposed place. Then. unless the birds are
flying pretty briskly, one man remains in
the blind, while the other beats about in
order to stir the birds up. This is fine
shooting in some localities.
And now a word or two about recover
ing your game. Never try to chase down
and pick up a crippled teal You can
overtake him easily enough, but just
when you are reaching for him. quick as
a flash he gives flirt with his other
wing and his tail and down he goes, and
the chances are you win never see him
again. For goodness sake, don't lose
birds like that Shoot every crippled bird
over again, and he sure of him. Per
sonally. after losing bird in this way,
the writer feels sore for the rest Of the
day. and it is such a fool trick and so
easily prevented.
Lastly. after the days shooting is over,
there is always the evening flight 10 look
forward to. and here is where your
knowledge Of the game-or lack Of it
will show itself. and where you viii put

birds during the day

feeding grounds for the night, and they

Don't get discouraged because there is
nothing doing at sundown Teal fly just
at .dlAsk, and all your shooting win be
done in about fifteen minutes, often when
it is almost too dark to see. and what is
done is mostly snap shooting. If no special
place can be found, then il is a good plan
to take stand in the center of an open
marsh, with plenty of clear space all
around you, and keep your eyes wide

One Of the tricks OF the sport is to

after dark it is impossible 10 find them all.
At such times a lantern is priceless, and

It is no mere play upon words to affirm
that Secretary Root reached the root Of
the matter when he told Americans resi-

The Secretary Of State was simply ad-
vising our fellow-countrymen in a strange
land to avoid committing the offense for
which We every day condemn newcomers
to our shores. One of the great objec-
tions in the public mind to the Chinese
and Japanese and to the natives Of some
OF the countries Of Southern and Eastern
Europe, is that they do not settle in
America for the purpose Of learning our
ways and assimilating our ideas and

its advantages and opportunities without,

TROUSERS IN THE PAST
LONG CONSIDERED BADGE OF BARBARISM
AND EVEN AFFECTED POLITICS.

The antique artist generally represented
an Oriental in trousers or pantaloons-
always when treating him with scorn.
one may venture IS say there is no figure
of Paris extant which shows him bare
legged. That was the style of brave and
honest rnen-the other the style of ours.
Undeniable it is also that the latter style
made its way in the ancient world con-
currently with the decline of freedom and
civilization. though Il is open to argument
of course, whether the adoption OF trous-
ers was the result of degeneration or
coincidence.
Until that time, apparently, they were
worn only in Europe by the inhabitants
.of southeast GauI, whose dress seemed
so extraordinary to the Romans that they
gave the name Of "Breechcd Gaul" TO
the province In after ages, no doubt,
this singular garment was assigned to
the German auxiliary troops Of the en-
pire as well as TO the Gallic But is there
evidence that any Teut0nic people wore
trousers at home? Plenty can be found
to suggest that all went naked barring
the saglm. a shaggy mantle like the
Kaffir's kaross. or the red indiana
blanket Real trousers have been dug out
of Scandinavian bOgs. OF course. with
loops for a strap around the waist, at
tributed to the Bronze age. but they may
as well be of the tenth century, when
the fashions Of Rome were familiar to the
Vikings, as Of the fifth
Ancient Sign of BarbRrisp.
The point is that until the decad8ace set
in trousers were still regarded as the sign
of barbarism. Plutarch tells US that
favorite general of ViteIius was detested
because "he wore breeches and long
sleeves after the Gallo manner, though
his standard was Roman. and he com
manded Roman officers" They were as
scornful and indignant comments the Pan
Mall Gazette, as Elizabethan soldiers
would have been had one of their gen
erals assumed the saffron mantle and the
Doleaxe Of an Irish kerne But as time
went on and the antique civilization
waned. trousers grew more and more
common. Soldiers wearing them are con-
spicuous on Trajans column These are
German and Gallo "auxiliaries," but a
sculpture on the Arch of Constantine
shows a Centurion in fun uniform thus
arrayed In fact we know that trousers
We're recognized in the equipment Of
Roman soldiers before that But not in
civil life. Taste combined with common
sense in excluding the innovation among
people who did not wear uniform and still

But when IL came and the Teutonic

liked, they promptly rejected the Gallo

Newspapers on war Ships.

II is not generally known outside of the
