We were sitting in her living room
at the time. Its walls We're hung
with pictures, notices, banners, and
shelves Of bric-a-brac-an manner

agreed.
In ner everyday life the American
woman has not the same sense of pro-

doing of myriads Of things that were

her life, sap her vitality and destroy
her serenity.

RUFFLES ON SKIRTS

ruffles, extending from waist to ankles
This is quite in the old style Of sew

fuffiness with simplicity, and maintains
the tight and narrow skirt announced
for this fall and winter.
Usually five ruffles are used on q
skirt; sometimes these are plain, again
they are edged or yelled with chiffon or
tulle. This style Is becoming to every
one but the short. stout woman, who
should beware of It.

Guarding their life apart;
But when the earth IS dreary,
And the heavy clouds hang low,
With their slender cheer for the way

The Christmas blossoms blow.

are warm, light and pretty, and will be
much worn this winter for skating,

WHITTIER ARE
WE DRIFTING?

The methods employed by
Lorimer and his friends to Sc
cure a seat in the United States
Senate, for the former, are both
disgraceful and criminal, and
our earnest wish is that every
man who accepted a bride to vote
for this CONSCIOUSNESS monstrosity
will be convicted and imprisoned
at hard labor in the penitentiary.
What can be hoped for our
country so long as men like
Lorimer and his henchmen can,
by bribery and corruption, sue
coed in attaining to such an
exalted position as that of a
senator of the United States? 1t
is a travesty on fair elections,
and a foul blot upon the es-
cutcheon of the great State Of
Illinois. 1t demonstrates more
conclusively than any thing else,
that the election of United States
senators should be by the people
and not by the Legislatures of
the several states.
If something is not done, look
ing to this end, we very much.

Of the ordinary routine are brought to
the commander in chief.
1.-The organization is built on diSci-
pline. Each individual knows what
work he has to do, and If he fails the
failure reacts directly upon him. Thus
each in turn is responsible to the one
above him until the responsibility
reaches this Office. In the final analy-
sis l am responsible to the firm. If a

dispute with a customer ! am directly
responsible. although / have probably

the actual administration Of authority
and responsibility right down the line
until the person who is at fault feels
It personally. Doubtless hundreds Of
things happen in this store every day
OF which l have no knowledge, and l
don't need to know about them. So
long as the man to whom I have dele
gated the authority delegates it in
turn to some one who knows how to
use it properly there is no reason why
I should interfere.

The primary may have its
faults, and sometimes it may be
perverted from its legitimate
purposes, yet, nevertheless, it is
still the best system now pre-
vailing for the selection of our
public servants. One thing is
certain. and that is, if United
States Senators were elected by
the people there would be fewer
bribery suits in our courts.
