CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT
Merited Castigation Causes Solons
to Squirm.

Washington, d. c., January g.
That the remaining less than two
months term Of President Reese.
velt's presidency Is to be tempestuous
sailing II the house and the senate can
make a rough sea, is evident. 1t is
believed that the President enjoys
nothing better than contention.
The course pursued by the house of
representatives with reference to that
portion Gf the Presidents regular
annual message which contained the
offensive structures on the secret
service matter will probably be to
strike from the records the language
In the message considered to be
offensive to the dignity OF the national
legislative body. IL is also said that
those parts of the Presidents special
message on the 5ih inst. criticising
Representatives TawDey, Smith of
Iowa, Shirley and Fitzgerald will also
be expnnged. The house may amend
che Presidents message by striking
out. erasing, blotting out, expunglng
and otherwise obliterating the words
on the particular sheet or paper which
the President sent TO congress, but as
Byron says, What is writ is writ"
1t has been published in at least ten
thousand newspapers in the United
States, and translated into several
languages. 1t is very widely believed
to be deserved, and any such action
by the house as has been suggested
will simply give it wider circulation
and publicity. The action Of the
house will, of course, be equivalent to
censure of the President, and such
pronounced censure as has not been
known since the days OF President
Andrew johnson, aud the action will
doubtless be accompanied by oratori-
cal TRADES from both democrats and
republicans, but there is a difference
between the time of Andrew johnson
and the time of Theodore Roosevelt.
and vast difference in the popularity
OF the two men, although they have
10 some respects similar characteris-
tics. The country sends to congress
a vast body of men to do certain
legislative work. The majority OF
those men are not here to work, but
are here with their families. or with.
out them, on a pleasure trip, very
much such pleasure trip as attracts
people to the seaside, or mountain
resorts. or to Europe. But small
portion Of the time Of the majority Is
devoted to legislative business. II it
we're known how SO called statesmen
fritter and waste their time here, few
of them would be returned. 1t is a
we'll known maxim that employees
without supervision will not use their
best efforts for the work of the en-
| ployer. Members of congress are no
| exception to this rule.
Some democratic members, it is
stated, are inclined to take the stand
with the President iu favor of his re.
cOmmendation for transferring the
secret service to the department OF
justice and permitting it to be used
in ferreting out crimes against the
government wherever suspected.

Of each week. The girl who fooishly per-
sists in eating a light breakfast will soon
lose flesh, and holows will form about
her ears that will leave their traces in
ugly burrows which will show clearly even
after other flesh has been accumulated
'The complexion of the ears should re-
ceive quite as much attention as does the
cuticle of the face. The girl who is care
full not to allow the wind to blow too
roughly upon her cheeks, nose and lips
should remember that the ears chap and
burn and tan quite as readily as do the
hands and the face, and that the veil
should be so arranged as to protect per-
fectly the ears from the effects of sun and
wind.
eff a girl has what may be termed an
inoffensive ear--moderately sized and of
uondescript shape-she should do her ut
most to keep it plump and to make it
delicately pink by occasionally pinching
the lobes so that aroused circulation will
give them lifelike appearance.

over design seems more appropriate.
Girls who have mechanical as well as
artistic ability may find a new outlet for
their talent in the paper sculpture work
which is used for the decoration of candle
shades, photograph frames, &c. The
candle shade i'll the illustration is made
IN this fashion, and to girls who are clever
III the use of tools this order of handiwork
offers a new opportunity for the decora
ton of gifts. Many Easter gifts are
being made in this fashion. The shade is
made of ivory colored paper that is heavy
enough to permit the cutting of the de-
sign in relief. The candle shade is then
cut out and the design cut ON it so that
petals of flowers, leaves, &C., are raised
from the background. The design is not
cut through, it is merely cut in relief
When the candle is lighted the design
stands out boldly. Some of the shades
have color added to the cut design, the
entire flower or its centre or petals being
delicately colored.
One of the illustrations shows an odd
figure resembling a little Dutch maiden.
This is the crochet girl, and she is quite
a favorite among young girls. Her yoke
isn't really a yoke at all, but merely an

lie. The top of this linen cover is slightly
fulled, and it is drawn up in the centre
with a piece of daisy ribbon. BY this
means it Is possible to remove the linen
outer covering and launder it. Part of
the attractiveness of this gift depends on
its being presented in small heart
shaped flower box, the exact size of the
| linen heart The flower on the box
matches in fragrance the scented pad of
colored silk which is inside the linen heart.
In color also the silk heart should match
the flower on the box. That is, if the de-
sign on the box is violet the little pad
should be covered with violet silk and
scented with violet sachet The tiny rib
bon or cord which gathers the top of the
linen heart should also be violet.

over the human features. When washing
them morning and night they should
be tenderly handled. taking care to keep
the inner and outer edges free from CRIME

circumstances should any hard instrument
be used on the cavities, which may be
kept free from wax and dust by gently
sopping them with tepid water a sud
den deluge of cold water injected into
the ear may permanently injure the hear

indication of soreness about that portion
of the anatomy the family physician
should be promptly consulted.
Deafness is frequently due to neglect
of what seems an Insignificant matter,
and there is scarcely any physical defect
which puts girl at so great disadvan-
tage when in society or renders her more
liable to accident when on the street

sachets are so useful when properly
scented that one can hardly have too
many of them. OF course it is necessary
to consider the favorite perfume Of the
recipient in preparing them.
To make the gift attractive, Powered
box, decorated with the blossoms which
is to scent the sachets, should be procured.
The envelopes must fit this box. The
envelopes should be in a suitable shade.
For instance, the violet Powered box might
be filed with violet colored envelopes
filled with violet scented cotton and tied
with violet Powered ribbon. The rose
Powered box with rose sachets could have
delicate gray envelopes tied with gray
and rose lowered ribbon. Flower seals
may also be used to seal the envelopes.
or if not then they should be sealed with
gold seals or tied with gold cord and
sealed in the colors. 1t is possible also
and not difficult-to make the envelopes

fine grade or other lowered paper being
possible.

the designs the effect is quite as salts
factory as the hand painted designs. OF
course the design must be chosen with
reference to the shape of the frame and
where it is to be cut out for the photo
graph. One of the points to be most care
fully considered in the making of such
frames is their suitability to the room in
which they are to be employed. When
it is quite impossible to find paper which
has the designs in the desired colors sol
placed that they will fall properly upon
the frame then the figures may be cut out
and applied to plain paper frame. 1T
is more often necessary to cut out the
figures in making square or rectangular

dotted white Swiss muslin, lined with
delicate shade of pink. blue. green.

that its four corners come between in
stead of beneath the muslin corners, thus
leaving the latter semi-transparent. The
eight deep points thus formed are finished
with hemstitching bordered with Vnlen-
ciennes, Cluny or some inexpensive white
lace, and at their base the two materials
are caught together and shirred to &C.
commodate double draw strings Of one
half inch satin ribbon, matching the
shade of the lining. When these strings
are drawn taut the cluster of eight deep
points forms a flower petal appearance
that is most attractive.
A collapsible dressing bag that is well
adapted for travelling is made of six half
yard strips of wide taffeta ribbon Joined
with cable cording and shirred to a circu-
lar cardboard bottom. A satin lining is
tackled to the seams of the ribbon panels
and the sections thus formed make con-
venient pockets. Zach receptacle has its
individual baby ribbon drawstring, and
wider ribbon at the top of the bag pulls it
together.
Slipper bags are made of six half yard
strips of satin, taffeta or ribbon, with
gracefully rounded points that project

broidered and faced with plain silk or
with all-over muslin embroidery. Small
pockets set on the outer side of each panel
are for handkerchiefs. talcum powder.

Model opera bags recently sent over
from Paris are of taupe and tan colored
ottoman silk, lined with matching satin.
The lower edge of each side of the bag is
ornamented with small flowers done in
vari-tinted baby ribbon, and above is set
a small medallion Autograph done on silk
and framed in gold braiding. The top Of
the bag is gathered into an inch wide
band of gold embroidery, the bottom is
finished with gold fringe and the sides are
laced together with gold cordage similar
to that employed for the handle.
Another type of opera bag. or "opera

of wool satin and has fiat sides slightly
wider at the bottom than at the top,
where they are set plainly into broad
band of fancy silver or gold braid. "

IT HE color Of the ears is faithful

II u Color OF the ears is falt1tul
barometer of the physical condi-
tion," observed the April Grand
mother, as she patiently slipped a cup of
hot water. "a disturbed state of the
stomach, for instance, is nearly always
indicated by fiery tint in the ears, and
whenever my own look unduly flushed
and burn unpleasantly I begin to irri-
gate my system.
Crimson ears can usually be bleached
by dieting. or at least by eliminating from
the regular menu such Satanic connections
as pickles and gravies, and by always re-
framing from eating very hot and very
cold foods in rapid succession--such as
taking ice cream Immediately after soup,
as / have frequently seen done by girls
and even women of mature years when
lunching at restaurant
"Ashen colored ears indicate an amaze
mic condition, usually due to malnutr:tion,
which also may be traced to faults of
diet. OF late years too many young girls
have adopted the fad of getting along
with the Continental breakfast of a cup

iris are also making for Easter
lgifts to their friends charming taffeta
- silk hoods for wear in the evening
These are meant largely for wear by
their older sisters, cousins and friends,
for of course very young girls have little
use for evening finery. The hoods are like
those which have been worn in the win
ter, except that they are much simpler
and very easy t. make. The shape is OF
the simplest-a full cap with sufficient
gathers around the face to make the
hood stand up from the hair. The hood
is gathered on a hat or bonnet wire so
that it stands out from the face, and the
circle or oval of wire is large enough not
to border the face closely. A shallow ruff
He of the silk finishes the hood around
the face and at the bottom. At the nape
of the neck the hood is gathered up by
a narrow ribbon or silk cord. Inside the
face ruffle there is a narrow ruffie of fine
lace which stands out from the face
Tiny punches of founces. rosebuds, vio-
lets. &C., are placed here and there on
the lace ruffle. catching it back from the
face in the middle of sthe top and at the
sides. There are also bouquets of three

spring, with its fresh odors and blossoms.
that sachets of all sorts are particularly
lsuitable for the occasion. The corsagc
sachet is now necessity with most woIn-
en-, and these small affairs are so dainty
and also so useful that they are partic-
ularly popular with girls who have
talent for the needle. The heart sachet,
which has already been described, is only
one of many which are being made. for
gifts. The small flower sachets which
have been popular for some time, although
not novel, are so pretty that they still
continue very desirable. These are made
in two ways, either with small bags con-
tanning the scented cotton, the top of the
bag being made into the semblance OF
flower. or the sachet itself is in the form
of a flower whose petals are padded with
scented cotton.
Most attractive is the pansy sachet for
the corsage made in this fashion. Satin
ribbon is used TO make this sachet. The
three lower petals have scented padding
between the two satin coverings. The
two upper petals. although they arc
doubled are not padded. The top side of
the petals are painted in water colors to
resemble a pansy Yellow and violet
satin is mostly used for these pansy
sachets. The painting is not at all diff,

TO employing water color paints on fab
RIGS can readily do it.
~ FITS of envelope sachets are also
most attractive for IN Easter gift.
- These may be made quite elabo-
rate or as simple as desired. Girls who
can use water colors or draw cam OF

The box is covered with brocade and has
ia band of heavy gold galloon sewed all
around the edge ms n border. -Four flaps
of brocade are attached to the box-two

box is lined with plain silk. The flaps are
brocade on the outside and plain silk on
the inside, with border of gold braid
The box is not very deep. but is of pre-
|cisely the right shape for lies. The flaps,
which are sewed to the long sides of the
box, are nearly as wide and r as long
as the box. The end flaps are as wide as

the chief characteristics of attrac-
tive Easter gifts, and there is
never an occasion when the eN'
penditure of large amount OF
money is so unnecessary in order
TO procure n suitable gift. A very little
money, the exercise of some taste ana
the bearing in mind of what the spring
festival really means in the sense OF the
fresh blossoming of nature are the ele-
ments needed In the selection of Easter
gifts.
Young girls almost always prefer TO
make their Easter gifts. and there Is
nothing more attractive as an Easter
memento than n dainty piece OF hand
work. whether its use be the adornment
of the person or of the boudoir of the
REGIMENT. Small accessories OF the
toilette made of fine linen. with trim
ming of drawnwork. embroidery and
lace, are particularly attractive. and
among the gifts which girls make for
one another at this season there is noIle
more popular than hand made lingerie
handkerchiefs, hand embroidered col
lars, &c.
Next to these articles in popularity come
the charming furnishings of the dressing
table and of the boudoir generally. Made
of linen, lawn or batiste, they. too, are
trimmed with hand embroidery and
drawnwork, or. if there is not time for
such elaborate decoration. are at least
examples of the finest needlework and
are trimmed with narrow lace, all, of
course, set in by hand.
