ARMY PROMOTION
 BILL IS VETOED

Washington, January 2S.-The Presi- dent today vetoed the act of Congress providing that officers of the army, navy and marine corps, and of the rev enue cutter service. on the retired list, whose rank is advanced in accordance with law, shall receive commissions in accordance with such advanced rank.
 The President based his veto upon the objections made to the act by the Secretary of the Navy, and by Admiral Pillsbury, chief of the bureau of navi- gation They represented that. should the act become a law and the officers who have been transferred to the re- tired list, at an advanced rank. be given commissions in the advanced rank, the effect would be not only to make them temporarily senior to the officers of the lower grade, who were then seniors before their retirement, but 1t would also make them perma- nentiy senior to those officers who re- main on the active list, as tn cir com missions in the advanced rank would be from the date of retirement, and the officers on the active list would have commissions to that grade from such dates as vacancies might occur.

The Abuse Of Perfume

The choice of perfumes and the moder- ate use of the same, is one of the most necessary of all the many trifies that go to make up the perfect toilet.
 Many women who are deeked for con- quest make themselves perfect nuisances by the too abundant use of perfume
 If people would only learn that heavy odors are vulgar and extremely outre, there would be more comfort for those who must endure this bad custom
 The woman who restraints her love of onions for-the sake of her fellowman. who would have a fit at the very sug gestion of an odor of precipitation, will saturate herself with perfume or sachets and think she has added the finishing touch of elegance.
 Some people are made deathly i'll by the odor of perfumery; there are others who become unconscious from the smell of heavy scent in a warm room, while others sneeze and cavort over the smell of sachet powder, particularly in close room.
 I know one woman who is more sus- ceptible to odors than any thing in life.
 
 standing any other test but the pungent odors that assail her often make her deathly sick and she is consequently in a fainting condition from these nuisances.
 Leaving the question of lack of refine ment out of this discussion perfumes should not be used to excess from a humanitarian standpoint It is prac- tice that should be refrained from simply because it is annoying to others.
 An odor to be permissible should be the essence of daintiness and so elusive as to be almost imperceptible.
 Delicate sachets may be placed among ones clothes with impunity. The slips of perfumed pasteboard, the new Ameri- can Beauty pads, and other delicate. re- fined scents are delicious. Toilet waters used after ones bath are delightful and leave a subtle suggestion of feminine rer finement and daintiness but the heavy perfumes. like unto altar of roses, musk. tube roses or patchoull should be tabooed now and forever.

 MT. Holeman is too well known to horse lovers to need further comment.
 Those having horses with pretentlon their headquarters, the Palace Livery man. A. S. Johnson.
 MT. Pollard is at present in Kentucky purchasing a few select horses for the new firm of Pollard & Holeman Those desiring a perfectly hammered pleasure horse could do worse than give them an order
 > In addition to their place at the Palace they will have a stable at the new riding and driving club for the handling of mat inee horses.
 Pollard & Hoeman had a stable of local horses over the southern circuit the past season, which they handled very success fully.

The device of the new corset to reduce the hips is an arrangement which Is in evidence only when the wearer is stand ing. When seated all sense of compress sion vanishes.
 There are many other clever ideas em- bodied in the 1909 corset models to mold the American figure to the silhouette of the moment. and still allow the wearer comfort and ease; but as much as My Lady bows to Dame Fashion this is not the age of the De Medici and corset tor ture is not endured over many moons, consequently corsetieres are very clever to make the new ones models of comfort as well as style.

The Corset Of 1909

The problem of proper corseting is se- rious enough to the slender woman, but it is absolutely consuming to the stout one
 The new corset models therefore, are of vast importance. They not only pro- vide for extreme reduction of back and hips, but in some makes there Is an in genious patent construction to avoid thickening the waist. These corsets give freedom and comfort whether standing or sitting.
 This is an American idea in corsets, and is the result of knowledge gathered from long experience from Parisian cor set makers, whose models very seldom suit the American woman's form.
