WASHINGTON Feb. 14-One OF the most
situations in the history OF
the United States legislature resulted from
the refusal OF the United State Senate to
permit three OF its members-Smoot OF
Utah, Bourne of oregon and Fletcher, OF
Florida-to obey the sumons OF Justice
Daniel r. Wright OF the supreme court OF
the District OF Columbia. The trouble. in
which IS involved one OF the most inter-
esting constitutional points that has been
raised here In years. all arose over a
little award IN the matter OF paper on
which government documents are printed.
This business is IN the hands Of the pub
lie printer subject to the direction OF the
Joint committee on printing. composed OF
three senator's and three representatives.
Not long ago the bid OF the Valley Paper
Company Of IIolyoke. Mass. though actu-
ally the lowest. was rejected by tho joint
committee on the ground that It had not
complied with technical requirements. The
company then sought redress in the Dis
trict supreme court, with the result that
some days ago Justice Wright issued an
order directing the six members OF the
committee 20 appear IN court and show
cause why a mandamus should not be is
sued compelling them to make an award
to the lowest bidder The house voted to
permit its members TO obey the summons,
but The senate held that the court had no
authority to summon members Of con-
gress. Judge Wright IS the man who SEN
fenced Labor Leaders Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison TO jail for contempt Of court.

Beaded Ornaments

" HE decorative value OF fringe and
ornaments is high as a contribut-
- Ing unit in the general scheme of
a costume. The bright pieces of color
that move to and fro are decidedly at
tractive, and well deserve the favor that
fashion accords them.
Bead fringe is in great demand and
is generally high in price. But 1t costs
only fraction of the market price if
beads are purchased and the trimming is
made at home. Then the varying widths
that ornament a gown most effectively
can be made in the exact quantities de-
sired and without waste.
Most effective garnitures for evening
or afternoon frocks can also be fash
toned at home with the aid of a good
design, the necessary materials and
some knowledge of the use of the en-
broidery needle. Net is the most salts
factory foundation. On this are sewed
beads in scroll or conventional flower
design. Stitches in "lazy-dazy'' or un-
using soft embroidery floss in the same
color. follow these bead designs. An
effective touch OF color is often intro
duced when floss to match the gown Is
used for the petals OF flowers and mock
jewels for the centers of conventional
lied figures. A bit of ribbon work en-
hances the beauty of one of these
beaded ornaments and emphasizes the
color note OF the whole scheme.

4 of pleasing as many as usual in

ed TO a child of years. and is adapt

The pieces shown upon the page are
half of a square Dutch yoke, to which
material for hens should be added at
the back; half of the cuffband, which
will do for either long, short or three
quarter sleeve, and half of a belt.
The small section of design, half of
which appears just below the center
front, may be used or discarded at your
pleasure. If used, it should be placed
upon the plain surface of the little gar
ment just between two side pleats or
box pleats OF the skirt portion.
Flower petals and leaves should be
done in a solid over-and-over stitch,
with an eyelet in the center of each
blossom.

open field of fancy work.
Here is a sensible, correct style for
little girl, and one not difficult of accom-
plishment by the thrifty housemother
who keeps work such as this within
easy access.
1t may be picked up at a moments

Embroidery on Pongee

DONGEE frocks are now ready for

wasted, and the very tone of the pom

dull-leaf green and old rose of the
conventional running vine of the Tudor
rose design.
This is used successfully on the side
opening of a plain Russian- bloused
house frock, and its sections are re-
peated in. short strips at intervals on
the tunic's side opening. The work is
fat in effect, suggesting very little
