Smart NeckMear.

There is great variety in the neck
wear OF the moment. and even with the
lingerie waist, without which so many
women feel that life is impossible, col
lars and ties are now required to give
the desired finish about the neck. The
rundown embroidered collar is all per.
vading and is worn with all kinds of
waists-taffeta. crepe de chine. chiffon
or lingerie. as the case may he. There
is an endless variety in these collars.
Some are of the finest. sheerlst linen
lawn, with most exquisite embroidery
and edged with narrow valenciennes
lace, and where the edges meet in
front there is n tie or stiff bow. the
daintiest thing Imaginable. These col
lars are not so stiff as the heavier
linen, but the latter are certainly at
tractive and have both Openwork and
heavy embroidered designs. and the
edges are scallOped. To wear With
these are dainty tie bows and jabOts.
Prettiest of all are the plated ties on
the order Of those worn by Presbyte-
rian ministers Of Olden times.

Parks In the River Sections.

Naturally as the years go on this sit
uation instead of improving VIII get
worse. so that il is regarded as a wise
step to begin now the acquisition OF
property where these play parks can
be provided. This is more especially
true in such a section of the city as
Georgetown, which was laid oft under
a different plan from that Of the old
section of the city of Washington. That
work of planning city was done more
than a hundred years ago. and no pro-
vision was made for parks or for the
circles and the triangles and open
spaces which rather freely dot the orig
inaI plan of the city of Washington.

of contrasting shade may be used for
this purpose or striped figured or
polka dotted material. When the
coat Is Of cloth the decorative pieces
are sometimes Of velvet, although for
the spring linen or silk is more used.
Trimmings Of lighter or darker col

coats, either In straps, facings or
shaped trimming.

three terms or a period equivalent to
three terms. They are Senators ALI

Senator Allison is past seventy-nine.
Senator Hale is nearly seventy-two.
Senator Frye will be seyenty-seven In

six, Senator CulIom will be seventy
nine next December. Senator Teller
win be seventy-eight in May. and Sen

however. is less than a year younger
than he, and Senator Teller is younger
by only about fourteen months.
Within a year Senator Teller will
end his term and viii quit the senate,

CONGRESSIONAL
In The SENATE

Washington, D. c., April 1.-THE
senate considered at length today the
bill regulating a settlement of &C,
counts between the United States and
the several states relative to the dis,
position of public lands
Senator Gamble said the bill would
result in the appropriation of s8,OOO,-
900. The bill consists of two parts;
the first is devoted to claims of the
states for per cent upon the net
proceeds of public lands disposed OF
for bounty land warrants, Indian res
ervations and other purposes, and the
second part as to advances deposited
many years ago with the states out o.
the proceeds of public lands. A dispo
sition to filibuster against the bill
was shown when Senator Nelson ask
ed for a reading of the printed report
of Is pages.

Discreet silence.

An excellent piece of advice was
that once given to George Gray, a
young Methodist preacher, who was a
mere boy when he began his work.
Within few days of the time he was
fifteen and half years old his name
was on the records of an annual con-
ference as travelling preacher the
youngest candidate ever received in
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was sent to the Barre circuit in ver-
mont. AS he mounted his horse to set
out for his appointed field of labor, a
jaunt Of more than 200 miles, his un-
Gle, a Methodist Of much shrewdness
and humor, gave him a parting adj
dress which he never forgot and to
which he often referred in later years.
''NeVer pretend that you know much,
George" said he, looking up at the
youthful rider from under his shaggy
eyebrows, "for if you do SO pretend
the people will soon find out that you
are sadly mistaken, but neither" he
added after a moments pause, need
you tell them how little you know, for
this they will find out soon enough"

TRYING NOW TO
PROVE LILLEY
cheerful LIAR

Washington, D. c., April Frank.
lin A. Taylor of Waterbury, Conn.,, to-
day testified before the special house
committee Investigating the charges
against the Electric Boat company
that he had heard the report George
l.. Lilley, author of the charges, had
made statement in the Waterbury
club last Saturday that it was quite
likely he would get an adverse decis-
ion from the committee, and in that
event he would tell all he knew
about the whole matter of the sub.
marine boats of the fleet in the house.
In addition to Mr.. Taylor, the wit
nessas today were Eli B. Frost, presi-
dent of the Electric Boat company;
Maurice Barrett, secretary-treasurer
of the Electric Boat company, and
Charles Ferry of the Bridgeport Brass
works. They denied knowledge OF
any undue influence being used
toward members of congress to secure
legislation favorable to the Electric
Boat company, although Mr.. Taylor
and Mr.. Ferry admitted they had
asked Mr.. Lilley to vote for the ap.
preparation, because they thought it
would help their business should those
boats be authorized.

The Venus de Milo.

It is questionable whether the real
Greek woman Of that immortal epoch
when sculpture meant something more
than decorative end to an architectu-
raj means possessed the chaste lowell
ness accredited to her in the chiseled
remnants left to US. It has ever been
the within Of artists to work away from
the physical facts of their models to-
ward the ideals of their fancy. The
sculptor is usually proudly careless
historian and but poor reporter. All
Greek sculpture doubtless is a highly
glorified record Of true Greek eth.
nology; but. granting such woman
as, say, the Venus de Milo did exist
in all her bodily and facial perfection
she would meet with but cold reception
at the hands Of our critics Of feminini
ty today. Her modern women asso
ciates would. am certain, adjudge tn,
classic lady a trump. Ideals change
with the centuries If nature does not

The session was opened with bit
ter attack on Attorney General Bon
aparte by Mr.. Clark of Florida, who
denounced him as being no lawyer
and unfit to hold Office. The occas-
ion for the utterance was the report
ing out Of the committee of a reso-
luton by Mr.. Clark calling for a
statement of expense connected with
the peonage investigations and pros
ecutions. That the resolution was
simply an excuse for a further and
unnecessary attack upon the attorney
general by Mr.. Clark was the dec
laration of Mr.. Caulfield of Missouri,
who led the opposition. The resolu-
ton was tabled.
