CONGRESS STRUGGLING
Making Little Headway Towards
AdjOurnment-Harris Thinks
LOrimer VIII Be Unseated.
Washington, June 10.

Washington, June 10.
Dear Home Folks:
We are yet seeking for a sign that
the end may come within month OF
weeks, but no sign has as yet been
given us. So we dawdle and drift
along, doing a little something every
few days, leaderless, rudderless,
trying in vain to get somewhere and
making a mess of it.
A few days ago the senate took
account of stock to see where ii was
at, and was scared at the quantity of
business yet before it which must be
cleared up before it could go home.
The first Of the week it discov-
cred that several important appro-
Driation bills were demanding inn
mediate attention, and so it dropped
work on the tariff bills after the pas
sage of the first one, and feverishly
began on appropriations. The ex-
ecutive legislative and judicial bill
which provides for all the running
expenses of these branches of the
government for the coming fis-
cal year-was first tackled, and at
the end of three days it had gotten
away with II of the 40 pages of
the bill
The Lorimer case was started
down the track simultaneously with
the appropriation bills, and both are
now running neck and neck. SEN
ator Kern of Indiana for the anti
Lorimer contestants began his open
ing speech Tuesday and closed it
Friday afternoon. Fair length, but
not much breadth. Near the end of
the week the legislative bill was f.
nally passed, as was also one other. |
In the matter of Lorimer an agree
ment has been reached to vote on
July 6 or sooner if congress adjourns
sooner.
1t is probable his seat will be de-
clared vacant The opposition to |
him is almost wholly political, a !
result of the BLACKBOARD condition of
Chicago politics, and largely because
he is a regular instead of a mongrel |
This is why every ir-
regular in the senate is spitefully |
against him. The truth as to Lori !
mer has never been told in any Yer

SENTIMENT

1t is a mistake for girls to laugh at
sentiment in others. The faded flowers
in the old book were once fragrant. and
although perfume and color have van
ished, they recall TO their possessor the
grace Of day that has fed"
The young members of a family often
wonder why Aunt Eliza (who is usually
severe and %snappish) looks so much pleas
anter when Alice plays Mendelssohn's
Spring Song "silly old thingi' is the
comment of her nieces and nephews. But
they do not understand that Aunt Eliza
had her romance before she was severe
and snappish, and the tender Tilt of the
music always recalls It.
Nothing Is more Objectionable In girls
than the affected cynicism which is too
prevalent nowadays. The heart that feels
for another, and the sympathy which Ia
SO rare and so precious a git, is surely
a better tribute In a young girl than the
cheap wit which. with barbed arrows,
aims at the sentiment she makes a boast
that she does not wish to understand.

THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO

If a man knows his wife believes In
him, 1t helps him to believe in himself
itsshe expects great things, he'll prob
ably do great things.
Anyway, he is bound to achieve more
than the man who is constantly hearing
dispiriting remarks about his actions.
Don't allow yourself to be a "damper.p
It's better to be too optimistic thar to
be constantly looking on the lark side of
things. Try what a little encouragement
and appreciation will do. and even II
your husband doesn't set the river on
fire, you will have the satisfaction of
knowing that you are doing your part
towards helping him to do his best.

Then let the door be locked and not

Draughts of cold air on baby's eyes
may cause Inflammation In them-not the
worst form of ophthalia, 1t is. true, but
any kind should be guarded against.
After washing and drying, the skin
Is one Of the best and simplest busting
powders that can be obtained for an In
fant's skin.
Never use a highly.scented powder, or
any kind of fancy face powder. Such
things sometimes contain ingredients
which would be very Injurious to the
sensitive skin of an infant.
The parts that specially need busting
with powder are the neck, under the
arms, and in the bends of the joints, but

Powder there is apt to form into cakes
and so to increase the danger of chatting.
To prevent this, smear the skin be-
tween the thighs with white vaseline, or
l%anolin. This is an excellent preventive
of chafng, because 1t protects the skin
from wet far better than any kim of
powder, and. of course, can never cake.
Chatting may cause a baby much suffer
Ing and induce crying and restlessness. 1t
Is always due to carelessness, for no
Experimentation baby is ever chafed.
The best soap to use for baby's bath
Is the old-fashioned white CASTLE soap.
Strongly scented or highly colored soaps
should never be used either for babies
or young children.
Thu skin in infancy Is much more deli
cate than In after years, and soaps and
powders which do grown-up folk no harm
may cause skin eruption in very early
youth.
Although an expeditions FIRST bath Is
an important matter, don't try to hurry
nurse too much.
A few moments must be spent in max
ing a careful examination Of the infants

of skin eruption, any Jumps or unnatural
marks.
If anything of the kind is detected the
doctor should be informed Of It at once.
The mouth should also be inspected to

The American dollar, say men who
know, is worth only about ninety cents,
compared to the buying power of a dol
lar a few years ago, and how to get 100
cents of value In food is the problem the
woman who markets must solve.
Fifty years ago the market place of
a city was its business centre, and in
the larger cities of the country this con
dition is recurring, at least In the mar
kets of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wash
ington, Cleveland and New York. the
picturesque old scenes of a generation
ago arc faithfully reproduced.
New things to eat have been invented,
and new ways of living have been in
vented, but wives of men on a moderate
salary realize 1t pays to go to market.
So with market money gripped In a safe
purse and a heayy-laden basket on her
arm In the place of a shopping bag, she
makes her purchases and plans her din
ners for several days to come. Last year
there was sold from the city markets of
the country more thai n hundred million
pounds of meat and millions Of pounds
of poultry and fish besides; today more
and a better class are trading at the
curbstone counters and sidewalk aisles

DETACHABLE FLOUNCES

With the advent of the thin summer
frock comes the demand for the lingerie
petticoat. Detachable fiounces are a
practical article TO have. especially
when travelling.
A strip OF linen four yards long and
a half yard wide is necessary to make
a fiounce. This may be tucked In
groups of five tucks, with strips Of lace
insertion between, or 1t a be plain,
with strips of the lace placed every three
inches.
The bottom of the LOUNGE should be
finished by an edging of the lace. Gather
his strip and sew 1t to a strip Of ma
terial. This may be buttoned or basted
to the skirt, IL desired.
The one-piece slips often have fiounces
of silk; these may be removed when
the slip rs laundered.
Elounces formed of narrow ~pleatfngs
of silk and null are extremely dainty.
The narrow pleat1ngs are sew to a
wide founcs of plain lawn.

CARE OF COMBS
AND BRUSHES

After using combs and brushes wips
them on a soft cloth with a nap. Twp
or three brushes and combs should be
kept in constant use and cleaned eveE5
day so that a fresh one may be always
ready.
A thorough washing In soapy water q
with n dash of ammonia or borax IN
the water will keep them clean and sweet
smelling. Swish the bristles through the
water, but do not allow the water TO
reach the woodwork. Rinse In cold water
and allow to stand on end in the sun, q
a current of air will soon dry them.
Keep the brushes and combs In a boz
or receptacle where the rust will not ~
cumulate upon them, not out on the
dressing table.
When these are soiled it is not possfb1H
for them to serve in cleaning the haif
and scalp, which is their obvious mis-
sion.
Nerer use any but your own oombs
and brushes, as diseases are easily trans
mitted in this manner, especially IL

black and white whipcord.
The separate blouse of fin white
lawn has collar, cuffs and front of
white ratine and small white pearl but

Fine tucks with bands of Irish lace

an edging at the low square neck and
bands OF the insertion to mark the deep

EARRING GOSSIP

of the most remarkable features of

face of ingenious limitations the great

the absence of "fal-lals" on our
dresses makes us yearn for earrings.

| want to buy a New York University
pin. Can you inform me where / can get
one? Is 1t possible to write to the col
lege for onef Thanking you In advance,
! am sincerely yours. Il. Il.
Have you tried the jewelers. and the
3ewelry departments of the department
stores? l think you will be able to get
the pins there. There is probably a book
and stationary store connected with the
college which offers a large selection Of
the university insignia and which will
be the most satisfactory place to pur-
chase. If you will write to the college
enclosing a stamped self-addressed en-
velope the secretary will probably give
you the name and address of the store.
Better still, If you have Il free afternoon
get one of your friends TO accompany
you upon a tou of inspection of the uni
versity buildings. You will find the
trip very enjoyable this pleasant weather.
