Tribute.

Washington, March S.--Richard A.
Ballinger's resignation as secretary OF

accepted by President Taft, and Wal.
ter l.. Fisher, of Chicago, was ap-
pointed as his successor, his commits
sion being signed Immediately by the
president.
Mr.. Fisher will take Office within a
few days.
Secretary Ballinger rendered his
resignation in a letter on Jan. 10, Das-
ing it entirely upon the condition of
his health. The president replied at
once, expressing his confidence in Sec
rotary Ballinger, his reluctance to ac-
cept his resignation, and requested the
secretary to remain in office until the
close of the session Of congress. I'm
mediately upon the adjournment of
congress, Secretary Ballinger renewed
his request that he be relieved at a
date suiting the presidents conve-
nience, but Immediately if possible.
President Taft, in a letter, formally
accepted the resignation.
The correspondence between the
president and the secretary is ont volu-
minous, but it sets forth beyond ques-
ton the confidence which Mr.. Taft has
reposed in Mr.. Ballinger throughout
the long siege and the Indignation
with which he has viewed the attacks
upon the secretary's personal ard Of
fetal integrity.

cepting the resignation, ito know you,
to know your standards of service to
the government and the public, to
know your motives, to know how you
have administered your office and to
know the motives of those who have
assailed you.
Il do not hesitate to say that you
have been the object of one of the
most INSCRIPTIONS conspiraces for the
defamation of character that history
can show
And in the conclusion of his letter
the president declares that every
fiber Of my nature rebels against such
hypocrisy referring to the attacks
upon B~allinger's c~haracter) and nerves
me to fight such a combination and
such methods to the bitter end, lest
success in this instance may form a
demoralizing precedent.
But personal consideration for you
and yours makes me feel that | have
no right to ask you for a further sacri-
flee"
The president goes on to declare
that it is evident he has been himself
the ultimate object Of the attack and
says that to insist upon Mr.. %Ballinger's
remaining in Office with the prospects
of further efforts against you, is sell
fishly to impose or you more Of a
burden than l ought to impose"

PLACE CARDS MADE
FROM VALENTINES
Last Years Presents Just
the Thing for This
Purpose.
The girl who wishes to enter

THE girl who wishes to enter
tain on ST. Valentine Day with
little expense should resurrect
her old box of Valentines
which most girls keep from year to
year.
Here can be found plenty of quaint
figures that are just the thing to
paste on strips of water color paper
This can be done in several ways.
The figures can be cut out leaving a
narrow margin and around it can be
pasted an oval, round or square-de-
Clded oy the eXigencies of the figure
frame of gilt paper. Paste a strip of
caro- board at the back to make the
frame stand and write the name of
each guest across the top of the
frame.
An easier method is to cut out the
figure and paste to a shallow base OF
water Colored paper on a visiting
card. Paste strip at back to make
1t stand and write name on base
Again the figures can be applied to
the surface of water colored paper
and pasted very fat. Blur the edges
with soft shadows of paint or with
gilt outlines to conceal that your card
is a makeshift instead of a hand
painted affair.
Old lace valentines can be converted
into attractive souvenirs by coverinC :
boxes the correct shape with gilt or
silver paper and pasting the old
fashioned lace emblem on the top.

MAN COMPLAINS IT,.
WOMAN INVADES
WORKING FIELD
By FRANCES CARROLL.

n OF many days ago a man was
nj citing to me the constant de-
crease in the salaries of men
since the business world had
begun to accept the services Of wo-
men.
1T is not as easy for a man to make
a living today as 1t was ten years
ago." he said, because women are
In position to underbid him when
1t comes to the question of salary.
The chances are she has not spent
her whole life in educating herself
to fill a certain position, as is the
case with the man, and she does not
therefore expect as high a salary. In
the second place she usually has not
the same financial responsibility to
urge her into insisting upon the same
pay for her work that the man de-
mands."
There is a deal Of Justice in this
assertion.
But the mans argument stopped in
the middle. He should have added

Velvet Bag Again Takes
Place In Popular Favor

The velvet bag is enjoying a we'll
merited revival; indeed 1t is rapidly
pushing the gold and silver mesh
one from first place in popular favor.
Though there has not been a re-
viyal of the convenient side bags the
hand bags are smart and light. The
favorite shape is oblong and rather
smaller than the ordinary leather bag:
The somberness Of the black velvet
most of them are in this color.
though occasionally one matches a
costume-is relieved by the marking.
Gold or silver initials in small block
letters are used in middle of front
More elaborate Is the gild monogram,
and there are even crests and mono
grams done in small diamonds Of the
Partisan order.
one Of the objections to the velvet
bag is that it is a dust catcher: 1t
needs frequent rubbing off: To keep
IT in good cordition a small piece or
crepe is carried in the inside pocket
The roughness of this material makes
1t an admirable duster for velvet.
