Suggestions For Clever Dressers.

All the world of womankind is especi-
ally interested in dress at this time Of
year when great demands are sure to be
made upon every garmentin ones ward
robe. A new suit, hat or coat is sure
to be needed and it's just as easy to
make satisfactory selection as poor
one if only one can arrive at definite
idea of what one wants.
HAT WRINKLES.
Say it's hat that won't be too dressy
to go with ones tailormade but good
looking enough to 60 to the theatre with
the prettiest frock in the outfit. Buy
velvet hat of the style that suits face,
figure and pocketbook best and insist
first on having the hat of good quality
and well shapes, making the trimming
a secondary consideration as such hat
trims itself and never needs much adj
ditional garniture Black is the best
all round color since it goes with any
thing and is universally becoming in
velvet, though trying in other fabrics.
Let the trimming be nice OF its kind, not
poor ostrich or imitation, but anything of |
a fresh, stylish bit of color or prettiness
that serves to augment the elegance Of
The velvet.

THE LONG SHOULDER.

The long shoulder line made familiar
by the kimono sleeve continues modish,
though many sleeves are now sewed in.
Trimmings that start at the collar and
go down the sleeve over the shoulder
conceal the joining and the effect is
about the same as with the sleeve cut in
one with the bodice Knitted flowers
and foliage are curious novelty much
employed in millinery and going well
with the heavy wool embroideries
Bulgarian styles that are SO much used
by dressmakers and tailors.

Snobbery at the Naval Academy

tic feet. She was invited to one Of
the naval academy hops several weeks
ago by a midshipman whose name has
not been disclosed by the department.
She attended the dance and shortly
afterward left Annapolis for her home
in New Haven. At the time Of her
departure she knew nothing of the in
cident in which she figured.
One Of the officers on duty at An
napolis suggested to the midshipman.
on the supposition that Miss Beers
was a domestic, that she should not
have been invited by the midshipman
to the hop.
The midshipman, according to the
report received at the department, re-
piled that he disagreed personally
with the view Of his superiors at the
academy. There was, however, moth
ing that he could do under the cir
cumstances. The inquiry developed
that Captain Bower was responsible
for the suggestion that Miss Beers
was not a desirable guest at academy
social events. Miss Beers returned to
her home in New Haven without
knowledge Of the rumpus that had
been stirred up In Annapolis. In some
way that is not known to the depart
ment members of her family learned
of the incident and complained to the
navy department.

Importance must be great, for see how
the senator reads 1t over to the lad,
pointing out each word with his pen

the note carefully and speeds away.

way his chops shall be broiled.
If the senate page should take a no
ton to disclose the secrets of his pris-
on house he could a tale unfold that
would make the Undertaking maya
zines look like periodicals subsidized
by Wall street. He could tell exactly
what that whispered message was that
passed between a leader on one side
at a critical moment during a roll call.
He could tell what went on out in the
cloakroom when a deal was on to
trade one little bill for another little
bill, and incidentally to break a party
pledge and sell out a party measure.
Even the familiar designations by
which pages know their masters would
make mighty good copy. One senator

WA SHINGTON. - Some person.
W speaking from the bottom OF the
well of truth, has said that no man
is a hero to his valet. The philosophy
Of the observation might have been
greatly strengthening IL the sage had
thought to add that no United States
senator Is any great shakes to a SEN
ate page.
There is a popular impression that
the senate pages are studious youth
with bullying foreheads, learned in the
Constitution and deep in the mysteries
OF senate presidents. They are sup
posed to converse exclusively in par
liamentary and senatorial language,
even when engaged In the youthful
pastime of matching pennies in the
cloakroom. These ideas probably are
erroneous.
These wrong Impressions about the
high constitutional atmosphere that
surrounds a senate page come nat
urally enough from the superficial OBJ
servation of visitors in the gallery.
Looking down from there it is easy to
suppose that when a senator claps his
hands and a page hurries noiselessly
to his side and inclines a respectful
ear. that the fortunate youth is re-
ceiving information of the highest i'm
port. Doubtless he will write 1t down
In his private diary before he sleeps
that night, and In later years will pub
l!sh 1t in his memoirs whera eager mil
lions will read 1t. Also doubtless he
won't, for the chances are i1e dis

The incident aroused a big stir in

FOR FANCY SLIPPERS
EASY TO HAVE PAIR 70 MATcH
EVERY GOWN.
BY the Use Of Rosettes The Pardonab,e
Deception Cannot BE Discovered
Plated Ribbon Another
Style Of Trimming.

One of the delights of the present
day girl is to have a collection of fancy
slippers-a pair for almost every gown.
None of these slippers are plain and
many Of them are very much deco
rated. These decorations can be
changed so as to make the same slip
Ipers look like something entirely diff
%ferent. The girl who cannot have as
many pairs as she has gowns a
make for herself a large collection
iof rosettes. bows with buckles and
various little fancy trimmings.
Black velvet slippers are used with
many gowns and they can have fiat
white bows with rhinestone buckles or
colored chiffon and satin roses. These
little flowers are not hard to make. A
strip of the material Is folded over and
gathered, then twisted in such a way
that 1t looks like the petals of a rose.
There is a certain knack in the twist
ing, and the girl who does not succeed
in doing it might take a lesson in max
ing the flowers at an embroidery
shop.
Another style of trimming is a fiat
~rosette made of finely plated ribbon.
This is sewed around a small circle of
the same ribbon, stiffened and edged
with beads. For very full dress occa-
isions a pretty way to trim the slippers
lis with little rhinestone butterflies,
whose wings stand up. These may be
right OF the slippers or have a rosette
under them. The trimming is often in a
different color from the slippers, so the
girl who has a white pair can have
chiffon rosettes or flowers in pink, in
blue and in yellow to go with gowns of
those colors. If the gown has touches
of black in It's trimming Gas so many
do now a better effect is given by
using black slippers, either of velvet,
satin or patent leather. The same dec
orationa can be used on those as on
the white slippers. and a few strong
stitches will hold them in place, so it
is quite easy to change them.

The peasant couture, which is gain
ing votaries, is a very picturesque
and common adaptation of the orig
inal design. After parting the tress-
es in the center, above the brow. the
long locks at the sides are plated
and rolled round over the ears in a
spiral mound. Those at the back are
curled, and it is noticeable that they
are piled higher upon the crown Of
the head than a month or more ago.
Little children are wearing their hair
in just the same may, but there are
no curls at the back; all the locks
are crispy plated and twisted in spir'
ais above the ears.

Labor-saving machinery y now used

other kinds Of out-of-date machinery

Human labor is the most costly thing

WI ought to make machinery take the
place Of human labor whenever pos
sible.
It Is true that many farmers cannot
afford to buy costly l~ahor-saving farm
implements. They do not take care
Of their farm tools. They let their
tools remain out In tho rain and sun
shine from one years end to another.
The tools do not last more than two

to spend several hundred dollars each
year for tools.
We boast Of our common sense. We
are certainly not using any kind OF
sense when we leave our wagons, bug
gies, plows and other farm tools out
in the weather. We are using any
thing but sense, when we work hard
for money to pay for tools to decay

can house our tools when not using
them and cause them to last four or
FIVE times as long as they now last.
