cent brings about $4,000 a year. It
costs $4,000 to keep up the Morosini
home, leaving Giulia but $4,000 a
year for her gowns.
'sHow on earth can she dress de-
Gently OF that sumT' ask the Four
Hundred.
You see, Miss Morosini has been
called the chameleon girl'' because of
her habit of changing gowns many
tines each day.
Mirabile
There's prospect the poverty stricken
maid may be able to wear no more
than two or three dresses a day.
Speakingqof dresses, you older ones,
do you remember how the girls used
to dress?
There was Molly Smith.
Molly did not have three different
dresses a day. She had only about
three all told
There was that Hnsey woolsey gown
in which Molly MIXED the COWS and
washed the dishes before school time
Mostly Molly wore the linsey woolsey
in school, and she was good to look at
very.
Then there was the checked ging-
ham that she wore, with white collars
and cuffs, on Friday afternoon, when
there was speaking. or to spelling
school. Molly was most fetching in
that combination. Your eyes just
would wander her way.
And there was that white dress for
summer Sundays and special occa-
sions. 1t may be doubted if Miss Nor
osini in her costliest gown was half
so pretty as Molly Smith in her Sun
day dress.
OF course Molly had the advantage
in her natural coloring of peaches and
cream complexion, and the spring Of
youth and health in her every move
ment, and the sweet and innocent look
of maiden modesty in her eyes, all of
which Miss Morosini, being of the age
of thirty-five and sophisticated, may
possibly lack.
OF course it is hardship to come
down from $4,000 year for dresses
to $15, 200.
Molly Smith, though, didn't spend
$4,000 for her gowns nor $500 nor
800. Perhaps SIS all told for material
would cover the cost for year, and
Molly made her own dresses.
Well, much depends upon the point
of view, of course. but it is doubtful
If Giulia Morosini ever had more com
fort or satisfaction or fun in her
gowns than Molly Smith in hers
And as for Iooks-ask any old boy.

OF course there is II whole, lot in the
eater of the pie as we'll as in the max

To enumerate-
Pies like mother made should al

appetite, a childish hunger. There
should be receptive and grateful
stomach as well as high appreciation.

Just as flower of the field is the

PRESIDENT TAFTS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

President Taft, in his inaugural ad-
dress, said in part:
Anyone who takes the oath I have
just taken must feel heavy weight
of responsibility. If not, he has no
conception of the powers and duties Of
the Office upon which he is about to
enter, or he is lacking in proper
sense of the obligation which the oath
imposes.
The Office of an inaugural address is
to give summary outline of the main
policies of the new administration, so
far as they can be anticipated.
have had the honor to be one of
the advisers of my distinguished pre-
decessor, and as such to hold up his
hands in the reforms he has initiated.
I should be untrue to myself, to my
promises and to the declarations of the
party platform upon which was cleo
ted to Office if I did not make the main
tenance and enforcement of those re-
forms most important feature of my
administration.
They we're directed to the suppress
sion of the lawlessness and abuses of
power of the great combinations Of
capital invested in railroads and in in
dustrial enterprises carrying on inter
state commerce. The steps which my
predecessor took and the legislation
passed on his recommendation have
accomplished much, have caused a
general halt in the vicious policies
which created popular alarm, and have
brought about in the businesses affect
ed much hignher regard for existing
law.
To render the reforms lasting. how
ever, and to secure at the same time
freedom from alarm on the part of
those pursuing proper business meth
DDS, further legislative and executive
action are needed. Relief of the rail-
roads from certain restrictions of the
antitrust law have been urged by nv
predecessor and will be urged by me.
Department of Justice
Then, too, a reorganization of the
department of Justice, of the bureau OF
corporations in the department. of COM
