Senator Burton and the Tobacco Habit

You smoke, do you not, senator?''
he asked.
"Oh, yes, | smoke"
Spectators thought Burton was
about to produce for the gentleman
from Maine, but maybe he didn't have
another cigar. Anyway, Frye got an
answer to that old question: is this
an Interrogation or an invitation?"
Il smoke about six cigars a day, .
Frye said then.
Il smoke about that many" the
Ohio statesman commented.
Il don't smoke at all" chimed in
Senator Nelson, who is chairman of
the Ballinger-P inchot committee.
NO" said Frye, "but you chew
enough to make up for it,
Il don't either" he said.
He fished chunk of plug from his
pocket 1t was about as big as your
thumb.
"A piece like that II last me a
week"
Then he shifted the lump in his left
cheek to his right. If piece like
that lasts the senator a day he must
take one chew and keep it the whole
day through.

Four years ago the late Representa-
tive Campbell Slemp, father and prede-
cessor of the present representative
from the Ninth Virginia district, and
Representative Brownlow, who comes
from the Tennessee part of Bristol,
agreed, so the Virginians say, that II
Eli Warren, Tennesseean, were
made postmaster Virginian should
be named as assistant. The Slemps
put forward no candidate for the
place and Warren got the appoint
ment on Brownlow's Endorsement.
But the Virginia representative now
says that as soon as this appointment
was confirmed Brownlow put in a
Tennessee man as assistant.
At this stage the president enters.
AS soon as the younger Slemp got his
congressional seat he acquainted Mr..
Taft with the situation and told him
that it was about time that Virginia
was given some recognition in the
patronage in this divided town. The
president thereupon sent to the SEN
ate the nomination of man named
GOodell. The Tennessee side of Bris-
tol then got busy. A bundle of tele-
grams was sent to BroWnlow. Brown
low took an ascension AS soon as he
came down he proceeded to the White
House. His protests against the Vir-
ginia appointment were vigorous. AS
a result Goodells name has been
held up.

How Congressman's Secretary Got Help

dressed about a thousand envelopes
apiece. You see, it's seed time here;
all the congressman are sending Sec
rotary Wilson'S seeds to their con-
stituents.
Horn saw monumental task be-
fore himself. Hence the pretty-girl-
tempting-lunch invitation. Now
number of pretty girls and secretaries
are wondering who got the best of
it. The party idea in this connection
has taken root, too. One secretary
has scheme to have a stag affair in
his office. He will have cigars and
pop.
One of the New York members of
the house was in New York recently
and met some of the state politicians.
When the session closed a state SEN
ator owed the congressman nice lit
tie sum which he did not have about
him. However, he forwarded a check
very soon, and inclosed the following
note: Most unwillingly I inclose a
check. If it were such a debt as you
could sue me for, am inclined to
think l would not pay it. AS it is,
feel that / must pay it if | want to
consider myself a gentleman"

ABOUT ODD BODICES
STILL AN IMPORTANT ADJUNCT
OF THE WARDROBE.
Thin Stuff the Favorite Material for
the GoWn-Colored Waist--Hori-
zontaI Trimming Feature
of the Garments.

Though by no means occupying the
first place Of interest, the odd bodice
is still very important adjunct to a
comfortable wardrobe. 1t is absolute
ly required for the street suit of coat
and skirt, and fashion requires that
the smart bodice match the gown
material In color and be made with
the utmost care
White waists are plentiful, materials
in these ranging from the coarsest lin
en- to the most diaphanous nets, laces
and gauzes, yet even these charming
garments fail in the elegance that the
-colored waist will give. Thin
stuffs are the faVorites for this waist.

ment showing what may be dubbed a
tailored finish.
The jumper overblouse of chiffon,
lace or net, put over one or more in
terlinings. and low necked and short
sleeved, is a model used for dressy
gowns as well as smart odd waists.
For the jumper portion of such bod
Ices very little material is required,
and when 1t is made of a fine lace or
suipure, or of tinseled gauze, it Is pos
sible to vary the effect by having sew
eral underbodices, in various colors,
for change. Remnants of material
suitable for the jumper decking are
now sold in all the shops at low
prices.
One adventurous woman discovered
coarse white net, splashed scatter

had been reduced from a dollar and
half, and the buyer intends turning
fine tucks and covered with a very
low, short-sleeved jumper of pale gray

material will go with it.
A very decided feature with the new
waists on shirtwaist lines is the hori-
zontal trimming. this being shaped
with bands of lace or embroidery be-
tween tucks. Such up-and-down lines
replace the yoke effects to a great
degree, and as they induce the slim
look still required for all raiment
the trimmings are likely to have a
great vogue.
For all waists, whether practical or
fine, the belt is a needed detail, and

NOVEL IDEAS ON SHAMPOO
Put Forth by Specialist, and Are De-
cdedIy Worth Being Given
Fair Trial.

A specialist who had had success
with treating falling hair had novel
ideas on shampos that are easily
adopted by the girl who washes her
own hair.
Make strong lather of soap suds
by putting a cake Of pure white soap
in a pitcher that holds a couple of
quarts. Pour a pint Of boiling water
over the soap and shake until a thick
lather is formed, when the soap is re-
moved.
Let the mixture cool to blood heat,
or so that it will not scald the skin,
and pour a little at time over the
scalp, rubbing it in with the tips Of
the fingers.
When scalp is well cleansed, pour
the rest of hot mixture over the long
hair, washing it gently down from the
roots toward the ends.
Rinse with warm water, using a
bath spray, and keep it up until no
soap suds remain, either on scalp or
long hair. Part hair and spray scalp,
| especially at sides of head and at nape
| of neck.
Have several smooth towels, made
very hot, and dry the hair with them.
When nearly finished separate hair
into strands, thread with finger or
comb to remove tangles, then draw fin.
gers from scalp to ends of hair until
it is dry, soft and fluffy.
This specialist does not believe in
cold water rinsing, which most hair.
dressers feel will prevent cold. The
hot water gives more Of a gloss and
prevents harshness. She also avoids
combing the hair when wet or pulling
it when drying.
