There is nothing wrong with the woman
who has the desire to be good to look
upon. There is something radically the
matter with her if she has no pride in
her grooming, no care for her clothes.
II, coupled with natural pride in the
grace and beauty with which Coz has
endowed her. she has a genuine artistic
sense, she will make every line, every
color of her costuning enhance her nat
ural beauty and cover her defects.
The woman who accomplishes this is
an artist.
To help her in the furtherment Of her
natural gift she has many promising in
fuences of styles which are now preya-
lent and which are to reign supreme
throughout the winter.
From the crown of her head to the
tip of her toe the Orient influences
woman'S clothes this fall. Not the eX-
treme styles OF harem skirt and Turkish
trousers, but the more subtle influence
of color and texture and the symetrical
following of the lines of the figure.
East Indian Turban.
Developed in every conceivable ma
terial often TO match the costume in
texture, the East Indian turban fits close
around her face. The new skirts fall
in soft clinging draperies about her feet
suggesting utmost cRrelessness; which is
the height Of the modiste's art. Her low
cut evening slippers are embroidered in
rich colors, and the East extends its in
fuence even to her gloves and hose.
Oriental embroideries appear on every
thing to be worn by women Of fashion
and good taste, together with other truly
artistic features OF Oriental costuming.
The general features of Eastern dress are
permanent. They have endured through
many centuries. Chinese, japanese, Per-
sian and East Indian robes several hum
drcd years old differs little in cut, color,
and embroidery from those of to-day.
In matters of clothing the body the
East reached a point of artistic perfec-
tion many years ago and il seems to
have received no suggestion of anything
better in all the centuries in which new

changes. and accepted no foundation Of
style as permanent.
And now we are about to admit the
Crudeness and ugliness of the modes Of
untried nations. and go back TO the far
East for the dominant note of our cos

This Oriental influence goes even be-
meath the outer garment for we have
come TO accept the word of the East for

of lingerie is fatal TO the grace of di-
aphanous draperies, and a death blow to
art in dress Accordingly, the woman
who accepted the wondrous grace of
Eastern draperies, must also accept the

THE BIRD PUZZLE
HAS BIG RESPONSE

Numbers nine and fourteen present the
difficulties of the bird puzzle to the gen.
eral puzzler this week.
Not that these numbers are any harder
than the rest, but just simply because
some folks have taken a notion that
there are several feathered friends that
might be given to answer the deScrip-
tiOns given in these two places.
In spite OF these knots, which even the
most gTouchy, hard-to-please puzzlers
admit 10 be trivial, the bird enigma has
been warmly received since its first pub
lication on Sunday, and solutions have
poured into The Herald ONCE through
every medium.
Early Monday morning they began ar
irving by special delivery and private
messengers. which does not indicate,
however, that any of these eager con-
testants who hurried their lists along
met with success.

But I am saying that you need not

FIRST RIGHT OF CHILD
IS TO BE BROUGHT UP
IN 4 PEACEFUL HOME

to get their real soul mates, but chaos
would reign and society be disrupted If
all of these people broke up their homes
and went Careering off seeking their af-
finities
Fortunately. most people have a sense
of honor and loyalty that makes them
stick at their post and do their duty, and
make the best of a bad bargain. They
know that there is something higher than
romance and better than indulgence OF
the senses.
A Binding Obligation.
The truth is that when people are
married they take upon themselves an
obligation that they cannot drop at will.
They have incurred responsibilities that
they are bound to fulfill. no matter how
irksOme they become, and the one who,
having set his hand TO the plow. turns
back because the way Is hard and rough
and pleasanter pastures beckon is a
coward and a quitter who deserves our
contempt, not our emulation.
Nor IS the happiness Of the individual
the paramount consideration. Indeed,
when people have children, their own in
CIInatiOns are a small matter. The great
thing. the one thing, that they have to
consider is the welfare of the child that
they have brought into the world. They
have thrust life upon a creature and they
are bound by every law OF just thinking
to do everything in their power to make
that life a success.
The first right of child is to be
brought up in a peaceful home and to
have the training of both mother and
father. 1t IS not possible for warning
parents or divorced parents to give a
child the environment that is necessary
to its best interests. child that spends
part of its time with APPARENT and part
with another, and that has two sets Of
mothers and fathers, that knows that
scandal has darkened its mothers name,
or that it's father has been unfaithful to
its mother, is in an unthinkable position.
1t has been robbed of its heritage Of
belief in purity and truth and honor. Il
has been made cynical in its cradle and
taught by example to despise what is
noblest and best in life.
1t is the child that is the victim when
married men and women decide that they
have a right to go of and live their own
lives their own way and seek soul mates,
and no parent has a right to buy release
from an uncongenial marriage at such q
price.

SKIRT PADS ARE
PRACTICAL IDEA

Some dressmakers frequently have
greatSdiff1culty in making skirts cut with
the raised waist line hang straight in
front at the line of the normal waist
At this point the skirt breaks and is
very apt to show an ugly wrinkle, es-
pecially when the wearer Is seated.
This can be avoided by making a small
oblong pad OF the same material as the
skirt and inserting It directly in front
The pad is made four inches long and
two inches wide and is placed length
wise with the skirt. 1t can be tackled
in place.

FAV0RS FEDERAL
FIXING OF PRICES
Would Control the
Trusts by Industrial Board
His Views Are Radical.

Duluth, Minn.-Attorney General
Wickersham before the Minnesota
State Bar association here took an
advanced stand on the further federal
regulation of corporations, and de-
clared that a government commission
to regulate great industrial organlZG-
tions, in the same way that the Inter
state Commerce Commission regu-
lates railways, was certainly most de-
sirable and that it might be absolute
ly necessary.
Mr.. Wickersham's speech was little
short Of sensational in many of its
features He declared that it was
matter of serious consideration wheth.
er it would be practicable to give 20
the proposed interstate corporation
commission the power TO fix prices.
To do this in theory would Simply re-
quire an extension Of the principle by
which the Interstate Commerce conf
mission controls the rates on rail
roads.
The law of supply and demand, Mr.
Wickersham said, no longer controls
years, he declared, the prices in all
the great staple industries have been
fixed by agreements among the prin-
cipal producers and not by normal
play of free competition.
An interstate commission, the At.
torney General added, would prevent
violation OF the antitrust act and a.d
business men TO maintain continued
status of harmony with requirements
OF the law
Many of Mr.. Wickersham's declara-
tions were the most radical he has
made since his entrance into official
life. His remarks made a deep i'm.
preston. There was nothing in the
speech, however, to Indicate how far
the Attorney General reflected the
views of President Taft.

IN THE UP-TO-DATE FASHION
Lecturer Found II No Trouble at All
to Anewer Question Meant to
Embarrass Him.

"Will you allow me TO ask you q
question:" interrupted a man in the
audience.
Certainly, sir" said the lecturer.
You have given us a lot of figures
about immigration, increase of wealth,
the growth Of trusts and all that"
said the man. Let's see what you
know about figures yourself. How do
you find the greatest common di-
visor?"
Slowly and deliberately the orator
took a glass of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes, and he replied, in q
voice that made the gas jets culver:
Advertise for it, you ignoramus!"
The audience cheered and yelled
and stamped, and the wretched man
who had asked the question crawled
out of the hall total wreck.

TAFT FOR PEACE
AT BULL RUN
Makes Important Announcement,

NATIONS WILL ARBITRATE
President Has Adventurous Journey
from Washington to Manassas,
Where Veterans Cheer His
Peace Plea.

Manassas, Va. Mud bespattered
after a strenuous trip from Washing
ton through swollen creeks, President
Taft faced an audience made up in
part OF veterans who wore the Rue
and the Gray, within few miles Of
the scene of the battle of Bull Run,
the first great conflict of the Civil
War.
The President selected the 50th an
niversary of the battle of Bull Run
for the important announcement that
the United States has practically con
cluded a general arbitration treaty
with France as well as Great Britain.
The President was introduced by
Governor Mann. When the crowd had
stopped cheering the President said
that men who have been TO war know
what it is and want no more of il. He
added:
Therefore look to you veterans OF
the civil war TO aid in the movement
for peace. | am glad TO announce
here today that as England has agreed
to enter into an arbitration treaty
signifed her willingness to enter into
the same treaty. Both treaties will be
signed within ten days. and ! expect
to be able TO announce within a few
days that three other nations have en-
tered into the agreement. This news
| bring TO the veterans of real war
because l know they will most appre-
ciate permanent peace"
Mr.. Taft did not name the nations
he had in mind, but it was generally
believed that he referred to Germany,
Italy and the Netherlands. Japan
ultimately may come into the far
reaching peace pact, but the negota-
TO be merely tentative.
