The length below the waist line

bust vary widely. In order TO be
properly fitted one should sit I'm

and do not push up or show at the

A lot OF nonsense has been pub

A PSYCHOLOGICAL REGULARITY
OF WOMEN.

But let no one delude you with the
specious suggestion that since a col
lege education lis the natural course
for a boy who cam afford it. so Il
should be for n girl. There is g
deep psychological difference be
tween crowd OF a thousand boys
from eighteen to twenty-five and a
crowd OF thousand women of the
same age. am not quite able tc
explain this yet, but any profound
student of feminine psychology will
| am sure, agree with the statement
that while male humanity gains Ger.
tain indispensable virtues from as.
sembling in gangs. female humanity
loses tone precisely, If subtly, in pro.
portion as ii so assemblies. To put
1t broadly, there is something vul-
garizing in a large number OF wo
men which cannot be explained by
the personality of any one individ.

HOW IT WILL AFFECT THE PARTIES,

IT HE license question has become perma-
4 manent one in Delaware politics and natu-
rally the leaders Of the old parties wondering
how it will affect the selection of candidates for
the next campaign. Ii is evident that the prohi-
bitionists will attempt to secure as many mem
bers of the next Legislature as possible TO pre-
vent legislation that may be favorable TO license,
and the license supporters will try to secure as
many members as possible in order TO halt any
further legislation against them
There has been some talk that an effort would
be made to pass a law providing for prohibition
for the entire State by legislative enactment but
there is no likelihood Of the success Of such an
effort. Such a step would not be supported by
many OF the leaders in the prohibition movement.
"A prohibitory law, to be effective must have a
sufficient public sentiment behind it to enforce
the law and prohbtory measure placed upon
a city or county that had decsiyely voted for IL
cense would not be enforced in that district.
Then, again, the Constitution has clearly made
provision for local option-giving the people the
right to vote on this question-and this method is
better than a State prohibitory enactments
The recent election showed also that the mem.
bers Of the last Legislature fairly represented the
wishes of their constituents. The Kent and Sus-
sex members desired an election the license
question and the result proved that the people Of
the lower counties were opposed to license
There was no demand by members of the Legis-
lature from Wilmington for an election and the
vote here showed that the city was opposed to
the measure
In the selection Of candidates on the State tick
cts Of both parties next year the license question
will affect the nominees. The upper and the
lower parts Of the State will come in conflict with
each other 1t is probable that the candidates for
higher offices, especially, who will be most in
favor with the parties leaders will be those who
did not take an active part in the recent cam
paign. That will be the politics in it," And
politics is largely compromise

A View of the Election.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The temperance advocates are giving
many and varied reasons for their fail
ure to carry Rural New Castle county and
wilmington. The vote n this city showed
however, to any candid mind that even
with the best of political management
wilmington would have been carried by
the vets. but there is every reason TO be-.
lieve that with proper management the
majority here would have been cons der
ably decreased and rural New Castle
ought to have been carried by the anti
license forces. Hon. Washington Hastings
I'm THE JOURNAL of last Saturday
touched upon certain causes that resulted
I'm am overwhelming majority for license
in wilmington. but a close reading of his
article shows clearly that Mr.. Hastings
did not tell All that he thought.
The difference was Just this. The cam
palgn for prohibition in tss lower coun-
ties was conducted by politicians, by
men who know the ins and outs Of poll
tics They dld not rely entirely upon
mass meetings and the outward mani e.
tations OF political campaign They got
right down to the voters. They were VIII
ing TO hear advice and heed IL. They were
not encuhbered by new men ineXperi-
enced in politics. some OF whom feared
that someone else might get the credit of
the campaign. These lower county poll
ticlans sized mp the situation in New
Castle county and I will warrant that
the result here was just what thsy ex-
pccted. Alexander NJ. DAILY. John satier-
