OF course the Savoy is the hotel Of

therefore, to which the management
had recourse. Yet it Is recalled that
when the same question of an evening
dress requirement arose not long ago
in New York in hotel as exclusive as
exceedingly high rates can make 1t,
there was a marked difference of opin-
ion among patrons.
The American likes good clothes not

the consultations of religion. But the
State of being under bonds Of etiquette
to associate certain hours and functions
with certain fixed forms Of dress Is re-
garded sometimes as irksome even in
the most aristocratie circles of dem
ocracy.
Despite tradition and the vote at the
Savoy, there are signs of uneasiness in
modern England over the rigidity of
the rules of dress. According to Will

is turning thousands of people from
the London theaters to the music halls

METHOD OF TARIFF REVISION.
BY Senator A. J. Beveridge.

We must revise our tariff, and that
Is big thing; we must do more
we must now make sensible up-to-

a bigger thing.
There are nearly 1000 items named
in our tariff laws, and every year
new articles are put on the market
which are not named, but which are
covered BY general terms of the law.
1t is plain that just and intelligent
duties cannot be fixed without a
knowledge of the facts upon which
