BUSTS OF VICE PRESIDENT!
ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS TO
GO IN SENATE.
Positions Will Be Selected Soon
After Holidays-Both Are
About Ready.

Shortly after the holidays the Senate
probably will decide where it will place
marble busts of two of its Vice Presidents.
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Mr.. Roose-
velt's career in the Senate was extremely
brief. and although it ended about seven
years ago. up to this time no bust of
him has been made.
Mr.. Roosevelt selected James Frazier a
young artist of New York, highly recon-
mended by Saint Gaudens as one of the
mos promising sculptors of the day. and
Mr. Frazier has been at work for some
time in carrying out his commission. 1t
is understood that this bust is now near
completion and will be delivered before
March 4.
Sixteen years ago the Senate adopted
a resolution giving continuing power to
its committee on the library, of which
Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island Is
chairman. to have made busts of Vice
Presidents. This resolution merely All
1horlzed the placing Of s.ch buSts in the
Senate wins, Of the Capitol. and they may
| lie put in any OF the inches in the gal
| lery of The Senate chamber or in other
parts of the Senate wing. There is q
wide range of selection n the matter OF
| position. as there Is no restriction against
| the removal of busts that now occupy
most important PAGES within the cham
Der itself to make way for new ones.
BY the removal of one of these marble
effisies of a President of the Senate dur
in- the early days of the nation a place
was made for the late Vice President Ho-
bart within the Senate chamber.
Mr.. Fairbanks bust Is being made by
Franklin Simmons the American artist
residing in Rome who has executed many
designs for Congress. and whose work
stands In many places about the Capitol
and throughout Washington. 1t is likely
tina; Mr.. Fairbanks bust will be placed
in the Vice Presidents room until the
expiration of his term Of Office

If countess can dress in this fashion

plain suit will outlast three cheap
overturned frocks.
Model Costume for Business Use.
The model dress for young woman
in an office would consist of a plain
cloth skirt for winter, a tailored silk
or white linen blouse. linen collar, silk
tie and a ribbon belt This may
not sound attractive. but if it is we'll
made and properly worn the girl who
has it on is in style. If the waist
chosen is a dark silk. turnover white
cuffs will be suitable and pretty.
The art of being well dressed in this
kind of model consists in having all de-
tails perfect. 1t is in this way that a
girl shows her good form and taste.
Belt and tie must be in accord, both
having some reference to the color
shown in the skirt. Every detail must
be fresh and immaculate. Her hair
must be tidy and becomingly dressed
and her hands and nails should be clean
and carefully manicured.
A girl who dresses in this way is apt
to succeed in business, because appear
ances are in her favor and her general
air of trigneSs and fitness give an air
of feminine businesslike directness
which are decided advantage.

Smart simplicity should be the key
note of all garments a we'll bred
woman wears to a business office. This
style may grow monOtonous, but as
there should be the same fitness in a
girls working clothes as there is in her
theater robes. she should not rebel at
the necessary plainness of the former.
1t would be quite as appropriate for a
man to wear his dress suit to the office
as for girls to dress in lingerie, etc,
for work in lawn and lace waists and
short sleeves are bad taste. They are
associated with the light or leisure side
of life into which business does not en-
ter. High heel shoes for business are
in bad form, while jewelry-well, no
girl with innate refinement would
dream of wearing such ornaments dur
ing the working day.
Laces Should Not Be Worn in Office.
One reason that some girls wear
finery of various sorts to their Office
is that they think it necessary for
style But never was there a more
mistaken idea, for the correct kind of
simplicity has a distinction which
makes itself evident and is more chic
than endless yards of lace a certain
American woman of fashion, who has
