A NEW THING UNDER THE SUN

wW@RHAT dainty accessory of wo-
mans summer toilet, the par
asol has come into its own
again-not that it was ever
really 'out." but the women, mostly
very young. who decided to let the sun
burn their faces until their noses peel
ed had little use for the sunshade. To
other women it was always JOY and
a comfort under the blazing sun. This
season fashion requires the matching
in color of shoes, gloves and parasols.
It's an expensive fad, of course, and
it is to be feared that most women will
have to let the combination go. But
an attempt at harmony of eoloring Is
within reach of even a modest income.
Here's suggestion: Cover one of your
old parasol frames if it is in good
condition. with piece left over from
your foulard frock. You can thus be
smart at little expense.

Changes In Congress.

Although Senators Aldrich and Hale,
leaders of the upper branch of CON
gress. do not retire until March, their
seats in the senate chamber, which
are regarded as most desirable. have
been assigned.
The unwritten law of the senate is
that the first senator who makes claim
on the seat of departing member OBJ
tains possession as soon as it is va
Gated.
Senator Burkett of Nebraska beat
the rest of his Republican colleagues
to it when announcement was made
by Senator Aldrich of his intended re-
tirement Senator Dolliver of Iowa
was the next to make claim and OBJ
tain the seat occupied for so many
years by Senator Hale.
A considerable number of members
of the house have already given it out
they will not seek reelection, The
reasons they assign are various. In
some cases the political unrest is the
real cause

out at the end of this congress. MAX

Nothing is palmer in this whole
question than the fact that under the
present conditions the more capable vi
the younger employees are constantly
looking for opportunities to leave tie
service with advantage to themselves
They regard the government service
AS merely a stepping stone to some
thing better
Yet it is fact that most of the
government clerks are exceptionally
faithful to their tasks They know
that there is no opening in the upper
ranks for them. with the rarest of eX-
ceptions, and they are confronted with
the virtual certainty that when they
have been incapacitatpd after years OF
service they will be dropped as worth
