SEATTLE SOCIALISTS SCRAP

The socialists of Seattle are split
by factional war. The state COM
mittee has declared the local com
mittee unrepresentative and dis
loyal to party principles. The To-
cal charter has been revoked and
the committee demands that all
property and finances in the hands
of the local body, of which Walter
Thomas Mills is the. most prOmi-
nent figure, be turned over to the
proper authorities But the Mills
faction is undaunted and will take
an appeal.
The trouble is said to be the
resumption of an old fight between
Dr. Herman F. titus and Mr.. Mills,
both editors of Seattle socialistic
papers. The former controls the
state machinery, and the latter that
of the local party.

One Thousand Women
March on Capitol.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Temperance
advocates, one thousand strong,
marched through the national capitol
in support Of the bill to rid the Dis
trict of Columbia of the liquor trafc.
Men, women and children, represent
ing score of total abstinence orders
and the leading churches of the dis
trict formed the procession, which
moved through the capitol for more
than two hours, while Representative
Webber and the prohibition advo-
Gates were speaking before the house
committee on the District of Colum-
bia in an effort to secure a favorable
report on the bill.
There were plainly dressed women
of all ages, and women dressed in the
height of fashion walked with those
wearing the plain uniform Of the
Methodist Deaconess. Many moth
ers carried children in their arms and
led their families. Among the men

Wells and Veilings

Wells and yet more wells, The shops continue to show new and startling nov cities In these head draperies and face coverings and women buy with abandon.
 There is perfect craze for wells in New York. One simply cannot have too many veils. And as to their wearing. it all depends upon the individuai,-three wells are ns fashionable as one. It makes little difference about the number. 90 long as their arrangement Is artistic and not impractical.
 Face wells. those fine meshes with or without dots, ranging in price from a quarter of a dollar to a dollar and quarter and more yard, represent the gteat amount of sales in the shops today. The smartest veil In New York at the moment Is rather large open mesh with a large chenille dot spaced two inches apart. This yelling is double width. and the veil, a yard square. is worn at one point In front. or one side of the square Is drawn snugly under the chin and the four points pinned down close at the nape of the neck. This latter arrangement is perhaps the better. as 1t gives better lines to the head and Is less conspicuous than the long point over the chest.
 new French veil has the front point rounded off. and the edge of the finely dotted net finished with a wide lace boT- der. But the novelty of tbis veil Is really not in Its shape: 1t Is in the drapins which fin the original was accomplished by a deft fingered French modiste, who. after draping it skllfuliy over the chapeau attached a tiny cut steel clasp to :he folds. When hooked. the veil Is drawn In close to the back of the head. The arrangement does away with the use of any pins, which all too often destroy the delicate mesh of these facial prote:- tors and beautifers.
 Wells of this design may be made at home with a square yard of any fash lonsble yelling. lace or ribbon bound, and fitted with a clasp of metal or semi-pre- cious stones.
 Another French novelty is the circular
Arizona republican., 1907-11-24

Among the many novel garments and accessories designed for the comfort of the motorlst this winter is e knitted silk motor scarf for men. They come In all the dark colors with a striped border of white. and the ends are finished with a fringe two inches deep. The length Is somewhat over a yard. and the width about half a yard. They remind one of the old-fashioned comforter" which many of the present generation could own to having worn in the long ago.
 Very beautIful accessories to the feminine wardrobe are those Syrian SIX scarfs wrought with gold and silver threads, and priced according to the weight of metal they carry. Those In black are particularly effective both as shoulder and head dressings. Brunettes and women of more ma ture years. especially those with the fashionable white or gray chevel- ure. wear black, while debutantes and young matrons effect white and the delicate pastel colorings.
 Are we to have another novelty pin fad? Many of the re- turning European tourists of the late summer came back to
