/ LEGISLATIVE COMMENTS
REVIEW AND PROSPECT
BY LEWIS H. MACHEN.


Considering that Il clear ma jority of
the members OF both houses of the
Legislature are now at their respecttyc
tasks they have gotten down to bust
ness with remarkable promptltude. The
early routine OF the session has been
OF Il kind to be- disposed OF without
the usual fiiibustcring and sparrlng for
position. The fight over the AUDITORS
position was by far the livcliest, ard
lctt some rather touch: scars. The
Governors appointments have not oc-
c2sioncd the long discussions which
nave been known IN years past. Those
matters our OF the way, the real busI-
ness Of Legislation began without de-
lay. and mas gone forward with iuSty
strides
Of course. the work done 80 Ear
mas been chiefly that Of the commit b.
tees. II seems difficult 10 get the pub
lie to understand the Emporium; uart
played BY committees in the work of
legislation. y large mass OF the bills
proposed are drawn by persons un
familiar with the work, and must be
gone over line by line and comuared
with the Constitution and the existing
law. Under the present Constitution
there arc many subjects upon which
tie Legislature ~ forbidden to enact
special laws. In those cases, where 1t
hitlon In thesc respects Titll n local
bill, II is now necessary to propose a
general statute. As conditions differ
In the various sections of the State In
almost every respect. II is often diff :
cult. and sometimes impossible, TO
draft n general bill which can pass
muster. The committees cndcavor TO
adjust differences. reconcile incon-
sruities ana also pass upon the policy
Of the proposed law. The rccommen-
dations Of a committee are yer, per-
suasivc. 1t is not unknown that the
full House OF Senate should reject d
committees advice, Du; 1t is unusual
The average member finds II inpos-
sible to study every bill carefully. an I
no member can have an expert Know :
edge OF all matters upon which he Is
called upon to vote. The committees
get such knowledge from outsid ,rs
who can be depended upon to appear
AZ the public hearings whcnevcr theIe
ancc pending. In case of doubt, the
members stand by the committees re-
port. For this reason the advocates
Of every measure strive strcnuously
for the committees approval and it's
enemies for their condemnation.
Generally speaking, the House COM

The life OF silk stockings is so brief
that few women ever have enough Of them
and the gift Of one or several pairs IL
sure to be hailed with JOY. The gift may
be a modest one OF a pair Of plain silk
stockings costing 81. II Is not advisable 10
buy cheaper stocking than this. because
it cdnnot be guaranteed. II is possible
however, to get good wearing stockings
/ for this amount This price is sometimes
! shaded a bit, as. for instance, when three
pair are offered for 81 70, but ii is a good
working rule to remember that, generally
speaking. hard wear cannot be expected
from stockings costing less than 81.
For general wear the changeable, or
| shot silk stockings are very smart and
very English. There is one type In silk
showing the changeable effect only 10 the
! calf. which sells for 81 II is claimed that
the plain upper part makes this stocking
more elastic and flexible The same shad-
| ings are shown In a stocking entirely of
the shot effect which sells for s.. There
are cheaper ones, however which can be
| bought for s. 95 The most popular color
| ings are the black and white and the
| black and gray. In fact. the gray tones
are by all means the newest either in silk
or Isle thread. There are some partlctt-
| larry effective designs shown in the gray
French Isle thread stockings, which sell
| for s. 80. The ombre shadings are like
wise used In the isle thread stockings,
which cost 81 95. For the benefit Of those
who like a warm and pretty stocking the
/ shot effects are produced in the wool and
silk mixtures Charming stockings come
| in such artistic blendings Of color as
! bronze and royal purple, green and brown
and green and salmon pink. These clever
combinations Of color are brought out by
the drop stitch design and hand en-
broldery.

at the sides are appropriate for street

long points on either side of the en-
oroidered tulle jabot. Another collar of
white lace is banded with skunk fur The
plastron attached to this collar is almost
square, with the fulness thrown 10 the
side by means of small crosswise tucks
An effective finish is given 10 this plas-
iron by a border OF a narrow band Of
black tulle
Charming as are the lacy neck hxings
they fade into insignificance when COM
pared to the alluring stoles and scarves
Tor evening wear. Among the novelties
are the scarves Of metallic tissue orna-
mented with exquisite embroidery. worked
out in silver and gold threads Others in
coarse silk net are also given this touch
OF gold or silver in the embroidery finish
ing the ends
The most attractive scarves are those
OF chiffon in the delicate. soft shadings.
Often two harmonious tones will be COM
bined, giving the lovely ombre effect.
These scarves are long and enveloping.
and the edges are softened with marabou
or ostrich. The fashionable dolman lines
are given to some of these voluminous
scarves by catching the fulness in the
centre OF the back, and weighing the
point with a long silk tassel.
These MUNICIPALITIES of chiffon are also
adapted for the street and for the thea
tire. The set shown in the sketch is of
salmon pink chiffon combined with the
new taupe fox fur. The collar has bands
of FUR with q frill OF chiffon Tending a be-
coming soft finish next 10 the face. The
stole. ends are crossed in the back. but
are cleverly slipped up under the collar,
SO that they appear TO come from beneath
it, in the front Drapery lends distinc-
ton to the large muff. which is bordered
with the fur. A curious color scheme Is
produced by catching the drapings with
a rose pink blossom, but the effect Is
most pleasing. strange as IL may seem.
Delightful Christmas gifts can be made
from strips Of fur combined with velvet
or satin to form snug little neckpieces
These collars tit the neck closely and
fasten on the side with large bow with
generous long ends, sometimes falling to
the waist. If a pleated frill OF white or
cream net is added they are in general
more becoming.
