ASK SENATE TO RAISE SALARIES.
That Body Disinclined to Act as Catspaw,
However.
IFrom Tho Tribune Bureau. |

Washington, Jan. 11-No little amusement
was created IN the Senate to-day by the ap-
pearance of Representative James Watson of
Indiana, who came to ask Senators to pull the
House chestnuts from the fire by restoring to
the Legislative Appropriation bill the provision
increasing the salaries Of members OF Congress
from So 600 to s., 500 a year. which was stricken
out IN tho House. Mr.. Watson also asked that
the provision increasing the salaries of the Vice
President, the Speaker and the members of the
Cabinet, which was adopted by the House but
dropped in the Senate committee, be restored
Mr.. Watson explained that when the House
struck from the bill the provision increasing the
salaries of members of Congress II fully ex-
pected that the Senate would restore it, and
that the members OF the lower chamber were
greatly disappointed at the action OF the Senate
committee Some Senators informed Mr. Wat
son that they were fully aware of the expecta-
ton of the House in this respect. but that they
regarded the OF the lower chamber as
in the nature OF imposition. Mr. Watson
went on to explain that the House leaders had
agreement with the Democrats to permit the
provision to pass without division, but that later
the minority members broke faith and demanded
a roll call. He said, however, that leaders had
patched up a agreement with the minority
TO the effect that no division would be demanded
on a conference report which provided for
the increase and they sincerely hoped the SEN
ate would come to their rescue.
The general belief in the Senate Is that the
increase should be voted. but there Is marked
lisnclination to act as catspaw for the House
Attention Is also called to the fact that mem
bers of the House have been active in promotIng
the movement for popular election of Senators,
and II Is regarded decidedly cheeky for the
House to send its whip to the Senate 10
asks the upper house to do what the lower houss
feared to do: Opinion was so divided on the
subject that it was impossible tonight to gauge
II with any accuracy.

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Mother Goose Luncheon" an Enjoy
able Party-For a Shower.
Mother Goose Luncheon.

Every once in awhile the request
comes for a Mother Goose enter
tainment, and this affair described be-
low is quite out of the ordinary. In
the invitations, which had quaint lit
tie pen and ink sketches on them of
Mother Goose" in peaked hat and
broom, evidently quite ready to
sweep the cobwebs down from the
sky" the guests were requested to
wear something to indicate a charac-
ter in the dear old book of nursery
rhymes.
The table centerpiece was an encr'
nous "pie" with a ribbon ~radiating tc
each plate, where it was attached to
a funny little white lambkin. On the
place cards most realistic spiders OF
Japanese manufacture were fastened
by a drop of glue.
Each guest was called upon to re-
cite the rhyme she represented when
she was correctly guessed. This was
the occasion of much merriment.
When the dessert cours was brought
in, the hostess asked all to pull their
ribbons, and out of the "pie" came all
sorts of birds. They were found at
the favor counter and elected much
favorable comment. There is no tell
ing what can be found until you begin
to look" said the interchangeable host
ess, who was ever on the alert fol
something new.
The souvenirs were a joy to the
guests, being small Japanese teapots
bearing a card on which was written;
Polly, put the kettle on, and We'll al
take tea"
A copy of Mother Goose for Grown
Folks" was the prize to the person
who correctly guessed the most char
acters.

norRnce or for mercenary rearons are
opposing the sale Of all household
remedies, iohy IS q not equally neces-
sary for patients to knoio the compo-
sition of the remedy prescribed By a
physiciani Does any sane person be-
lleve that the opium in a physician's
prescription is less potent or less like
ly to create a drug habit than the opi-
um in q proprietary medicine? As a
matter of fact. more opiam-addicts
and co~cain-fends hare been made
through the criminal cdrelessness Of
ignorant physicians than BY any other
means.
Unquestionably, there arc a number
of proprietary remedies on the market
the sales of which should be prohibit
ed, and no doubt they will be when
the requirements of the Food and
Drugs Act are rigidly enforced; many
are frauds, pure and simple, and some
are decidedly harmful Of the aver
age proprietary remedy, however, It
may truthfully be said that 1t is dis
tinctly better than the average physi-
clans prescription; for not only is its
composition less secret, but 1t is pre-
pared for the proprietor by reputable
manufacturing pharmacists in magnif-
Gently equipped laboratories and I'M
der the supervision and advice Of able
chemists, competent physicians and
skillful pharmacists. 1t should not be
considered strange, therefore. that so
many physicians prefer to prescribe
these ready-prepared proprietary rem.
edies rather than trust those of their
own de yising.

The corset cover that sewing
on insertion, then beading. and then
lace, should be welcomed, and n is
here shown that any girl could make
up for herself and use the yard left
from a thin lawn or batiste waist. The
model is greatly in demand because 1t
is so simple and involves so little
labor. The girl who is stout and
breads to put anything extra around
her hips, need not put on the little
peplin which is really only to protect
the corset below the waist line. In
the summer when white skirts are
worn this is not necessary.
The garment is made in two pieces,
joined in a bias seam at the back. and
to make one like the picture here in
medium size would require rs yards
of flouncing about 16 or Is inches
wide. If you want the skirt portion,
it will take one-half yard of plain ma
terial. This will give any girl a nice
piece of fancy work to do on the piaz-
"a or lawn, as there are so few seams

MADAME MERRI.
SECRET OF GOOD DRESSING.
A Matter That Is Altogether Apart
from Vanity.

To understand the art Of good
dressing does not show vanity, but
wisdom.
And for a woman to contribute to
the charm and beauty of life by un-
derstanding the underlying principles
of good dressing and practice them
in the. making of her clothes is to
benefit the world and her ownself at
the same time.
Good dressing does not necessitate
any uncomfortable compromise with
reform in dress.
More often than not the so-called
reform dress does nothing but make
its wearer conspicuous.
The question of good dressing is
more simple than reforms and move
ments. 1t does not force a woman to
take a stand and in any ostentatious
way differ from the prevailing modes.
All that is necessary for her to do
is to study her own color scheme, to
understand the merits and faults of
her own body and to select for that
body the clothes that are just suited
in line and color.
To avoid useless ornamentation and
to see to it that the color, texture and
cut of her clothes are suitable to her
occupation in life.

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Falthlst Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.

The Faithist community which has
established a modest footing in Bal
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of man to
the glory and labors of the gods and
goddesses Of the Etherian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list OF
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as the days OF
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick in more than
one joss-house In the east end, the Ma
hometan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the I'LL in
Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis-
sion in Islington, and in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. OF Christian sects In
London there are at least 300, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples Of Will
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manians, the followers Of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TINES.
in Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those Of our generation. To be sure.
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage IN his front yard, vermin In his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid.
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang Of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

The President and the South.

John Temple Graves has aroused Sc
we're criticism of himself and Presi.
dent Roosevelt in Georgia by declar-
ing that Roosevelt could break the
solid south as a candidate for 1908.
Democratic editors in that state are
quoting from Roosevelt's books and
speeches to show that he is at heart
a malignant slanderer of the southern
people. Among the extracts quoted
are those declaring that "a streak Of
coarse and brutal barbarism runs
through the southern character" that
southerners were OUTLAWS and trait
ors," and that Benedict Arnold, Aaron
Burr and Jefferson Davis were men OF
like character.

In Praise Of the pie.

Laura Simmons tells in an article
why good New Englanders should
stick to pie, and calls attention to the
fact that Emerson ate it three times
a day, and says that pie is the ladder
by which New England has climbed
to its place Of proud eminence. She
questions whether any sensible per-
son was e known to forage at tho
midnight hour for predigested cereals
or the "innocuous prune. She does not
believe that many New England ances-
tors died of apoplexy, due to pie, but
counsels all to go on p~ie-eating, despite
the fact that the fiat has gone forth
that 1t is vulgar to eat pie.

Starch were used. In order to get the

cAPEs FOR EVENING WEAR.
Made In All Lengths, and of Many
Materials.

Just a word about the wraps which
are being worn these summer even
ings, when the weather permits a
wrap of any sort. The capes are
strictly first, and all lengths, from the
hip to the full length. The nuns cape
and the Red Riding Hood share hon
ors about equally, and as for their ma
terials the soft, firm silks and the
thinnest of cloths, which are also of
a firm, smooth weave. Either Of these
capes is cut circular, SO that they rip
pie deliciously as they fall in unbroken
lines from the shoulders, but they are
never, by any means, made SO full that
they may not show a garniture Of
some kind around the bottom, often
the Greek border wrought in the wrap

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own

One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe, ac-

was ~soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample Of his sound, con-
tented philosophy: I'll tell you what!
A Nal is mighty miserable If he amt

nothin' that makes a man more miser-

is where a Teller sits around an thinks.

Feather Hatpins.

Novelties of a very pleasing char
acter are some feather hatpins that
have recently arrived from Paris.
They are the daintiest, prettiest
things imaginable, and are to be had
in a variety of choice. Humming
birds offer themselves as particular
ly charming and adaptable owing to
the varied character of their plumage,
and there are also some sweet little
miniature peacocks in realistic color
ings, while a very distinguished note
will be found in some black crows.
Almost do these hatpins amount to
trimmings, SO fascinating and alto
