1t is evidently true that the early fall
will usher in some sensations in the
way of trimmings. There must be
something new to distinguish the new
season, and, although there are count
less ways of combining laces and en-
broideries, the designers energies are
rather bent just now toward the de-
velopment Of something that is an en-
tire departure from the ornaments to
which we have become accustomed.
After the way cretOnnes have been
taken up we can expect almost any
thing. Therefore it is not surprising
that one of the latest decOrations-Out
on trials Il sort of coarse lace made
from hempen string. Certainly the
description does not sound elegant,
but the same is true of cretonne; one
has to see the really beautiful way
in which these embellishments are en-
ployed to appreciate their novelty and
chic.

Wouldn't 1t Be Better?

The constitution of the United
States wisely provides that all
measures for the raising of rev.
enue shall originate in the House
of Representatives. This is be-
cause the House of Representa-
tives is supposed to be closer to
the people than any other body.
Almost without exception our ex-
perience has shown that when
matters like this are left to the
State Department the United
States gets the worst of it.
Wouldn't it be better to adhere
strictly to the spirit as we'll as to
the letter of the constitution and
let Congress pass on all these
matters?-Cedar Rapids Repub-
lican.
