England is not the only European
country in which the cost OF lVihe

rising everywhere. But nowhere else
are conditions so serious as in Gfea'

as price of food, shelter and clothing

been going down

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Good Republican Doctrine.


The Republican party is united as
to the general policy of President Taft
on legislation now before Congress.
Every Republican can vote for the ad-
ministration measures and every Re-
publican is free to make every effort
to perfect these measures while they
are on passage. This combination of
criticism within the party and action
with the party may be strange to
Democratic Senators at Washington,
but it is and always has been good Re-
publican doctrine.

First News of Fall Millinery.

Millinery Trade Review: The mil
llnery market is on the qul vive Tor
information as to what the other TEL
low is doing. Advance models of do
nestle manufacture are plentiful enough,
ut the time of going to press, but
the Paris output has not yet arrived,
although there are hats on the high
seas as these lines are written, and
on receipt of these, many doubtful
points may he determined, but as
past experience has taught MS, first
importations are far from infallble.
Among the hand made and ready to-
wear people there is much interest
manifested i'm the Hindoo turban, and
this might argue that for early wear
at least the draped orietal effects will
be poular favortes. Another term
frequently on the lips of dealers in
millinery, is the chapeau cloche or
bell shaped hat, which is not unlike
the erstwhile peach basket, and is
keeping the mushroom green in our
memory. Indeed, the consensus of OPP
inion is that the mushroom reign is
beginning again, if. indeed, it has ceas-
cd for several seasons.
OF course the question of the large
versus the small hat is again being
agitated. Some say one, some say
the other, and the safe answer and
the most correct is that both will be
worn. 1t seems likely that what the
brim may lose in width the crown
will gain in height, for the cloche
is very high. Many shapes show the
mushroom tendency and not few are
cut away or indented directly in the
front. Tam crowns appear to be great
" in favor, and not few hats show
