When Girl Looks at Man She May Be Thinking

Dorothy English-''Men's Mode of Dress
Is by Far More Absurd Than That of
Girls" Agree Tpo Young Won.en.
BY NIXOLA GREELEY.SMTTH

We must admit that the young
women have taken 1t all very meek
ly. Day after day they have heard
themselves criticised and their cos
tunes and makeup denounced by
young men who have taken part in
the discussion OF the dress paint
and-powder problem. And It has
been the exceptional girl only who
has questioned the right or Justice
OF the opinions expressed. or sug-
gested that her neighbor remove the
mote from his own eye before ques-
uoning the beam in hers. Yet the
voice OF protest has been heard.

OBJECTIONABLE TYPE OF YOUNG
MEN IN NEW YORK.

Still another letter furnishes a vivid
description OF the Objectionable type OF
young men in New York. There Is nc
denying that we have all met him.
Dear Madam-I have read with
interest your several articles on tao
subject of the freanish dress OF the
women OF to-day. However.
whether you be right or wrong. l
should like TO point out to YOU the
ridiculous dress of the men ,; 90
day. When walking on Broadway
or any notable street or avenue. one
chances to meet what l would term
as up-to-date English Johnnles.
Their tight pants and sometimes
half way up to their knees. their
narrow-shouldered coats. collars thr'
are almost choking them. their fash
lily colored ties and their English
sailors sitting back on their necks
are what IL termed the latest style
for men Of to-day. This manner Of
dress. In my opinion. Is more ridicu-
lous and absurd than the way In
which the girls OF to-day bedeck
themselves. II. L. s.

YOUNG MEN OF FINE FAMILIES
BUT COARSE MANNERS.
Here is another letter from a reader
who thinks that the glass of criticism
snouid De turned for a while upon the
young men:
Dear Madam-I read with a great
deal OF interest your recent article
on the young women you observed
IN the vicinity Of Broadway and Ono
Hundred and Forty-fifth street and
their dress. ! think II you would
stand on or near that corner any
evening you would observe a large
crowd Of freakishly dressed young
men, who make II their headauar-
tiers. and whose chief pa time is fiirt.

woman who passes.
Their mode OF dress Is by far more
absurd than the girls you saw. and
their actions are a disgrace TO the
sex.
And the peculiar part Is that they
are all sons of fine families" and
some have sisters OF their own. II
they are the best the fine families"
can produce. then / guess We Will

WHERE THE MEN COME IN FOR
A SCORING.


Dear Madam-When a girl gets old
and loses her youthful contour and
charm. does not the man also age
and lose his charm and youthful
ness? Does he stand still while his
wife goes on? on the contrary, a
woman generally grows old more
gracefully than man. A well-kept,
well-preserved woman OF fifty. es-

THINKS HIM NORMAL.


WHITE PLAINS. ". Y, July 1o.-No
little excitement was caused during the
noon recess OF the Thaw hearing to-
day. when a motion picture machine
company attempted to get pictures Of
Thaw. his family and those directly con-
nected with the trial. As soon as coun-
eel for Thaw saw the camera placed so
- to catch the prisoner as he came out
OF the courthouse he threw Thaw back
into the building and attempted to spir-
It him through rear entrance. Here
Thaw was again confronted by the pic
ture men, and with the prisoner keeper
he started on the run for jail.
However the photograph company was
successful In getting pictures al. Mrs.
Mary c. Thaw. the Countess Of Var
mouth. Justice Keogh. Attorney Jerome
and Attorney Shearn as they were leav.
Ing the court.
Or. William A. White. a Federal alien
let, resumed the stand when court was
reopened and his cross-examination was
taken up by Mr.. Jerome. The former
District-Attorney used every art in his
attempt to break down the alienist's
testimony with but little success.
The Government expert was even
more emphatic on cross-examination
than on the direct in his assertion that
Thaw Is sane and normal. so far as his
freedom from the faint Of incanity Is
concerned.
DO you think that It was normal for
Thaw. a man Of thirty-six, to draw pic
tures-pictures Of nude women being
beaten?" asked Jerome.

Slow Work in Congress.

Even without the gentlemen's
agreement that no important action
should be taken in Congress while
the national conventions were in ses-
sion, no one would have looked for
any signs Of activity at Washington
while Chioago and Baltimore were
centers of interest. 1t was hoped
that wien the Presidential candi-
dates had been named, Congress
would hasten its most important
work and then adjourn: but little
has been done, and no one seems to
know when the members may expect
to go home.
Of the thirteen general appropria-
ton bills, but three have become
laws. These are the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill, the forti-
fication bill, and the diplomatic bill
The army bill was passed, vetoed by
the President, repassed by the house
and now awaits consideration by the
senate. The pensions bill went to
conference on June 3, and the ag-
ricultural bill on May 20 The legis-
lative bill, which abolishes the Com
merce court and the tariff board, is
still in conference; it is practically
certain that it will! be the subject
of prolonged debate. The postofice
appropriation bill has not been re-
ported 70 the senate. The Lorimer
case has the right CT way il the up
per branch, and nothing of impor-
tance will be done until a vote is
had on it.
With much important business on
hand, Congress is not likely to adj
journ before the middle of August,
and some members, noting the ap-
parent unwillingness to make haste,
fix the date as far ahead as Septem-
Der ]. IRutland Herald.

Wilson's Weakness

After many years the free traders
have gained Co~rplete cOnt1Ol of the
democratic party and named one of
the most violent of free traders for
president Skilled wo kmen of every
trade I'd farmers sfC uld not allow
the dust raised by other issues to
blind their eyes to these facts Free
trade is beautiful in theory. but ru-
inous in practice. 1t means inevita-
bly, lower wages and less money in
circulation. Read the history of any
manufacturing nation which has
tried both free trade and protection
during the past 100 years or ask
any man who worked for a living
during the great depression of 20
years ago. Wilson is fine type of
manhood and his platform contains
many splendid things, but his free
trade advocacy is a fatal weakness.

win Have Progressive Senate

The state of Vermont has much
reason to expect progressive legis-
lation from certain of the men who
have been nominated to the state
senate. While disavowing all inten-
ton of classifying unfavorably any
body not mentioned and specifically
emitting the Rutland county men
because We have referred to them
with all good favor before, we name
the following senatorial nominees
as of promise in raising the state
senate out of the ultra conservatism
of the past: Messrs. Dyer and Nc
Cuen of Addison county; Messrs.
Calderwood and Darling of Gale
donia county; Mr.. Mower of Chit
tenden county; Mr.. McFeeters Of
Franklin county; Mr.. Darling of
Orange county; Mr.. Blanchard of
Orleans county; Messrs. Babbitt and
Barber Of Windham county; Messrs.
Elliott and White of Windsor coun-
ty. These men are twelve in num-
Der and with Rutland county's four,
a majority of the senate for pro-
gressive service is assured. [Rut-

PRESS COMMENT


The Roosevelt idea of virtue seems
to be that it is something for the
other fellow to practice. The great
majority of the contested cases
brought before the Republican Ma.
tional committee were so entirely
! lacking in merit that they were dis
missed by vote that was unanimous
or practically so, all the Roosevelt
members in many cases and nearly
all in most cases voting against
them. Here was a deliberate at
tempt on the part of the Roosevelt
management to get delegates to
which they had no shadow of title,
in other words to steal them. Be
cause they failed in their attempt
can they be held guiltless? The law
holds an unsuccessful. attempt to
steal to be crime.
And now we see the man whose
attempt to steal more than 100
delegates was frustrated in part
by his own friends on the National
Committee, boiling the republican,
party and founding a new one be-
cause as he claims somebody else
succeeded N stealing delegates
where he tried and failed.
A man who charges others with
theft should come into court him
self with clean hands.
The testimony presented to the
National Committee justified the
seating of the Taft delegates. The
cry of fraud iterated and reiterated
by the Roosevelt party is an attempt
to prejudice public opinion.
Mr. Roosevelt is not above the
law or the Ten Commandments. 1t
cannot be right for him to attempt
to do what he charges others with
doing. He charges that Taft is
surrounded by bosses and calls to
his own aid men like Finn and
Woodruff. He thunders at 'big
business and endeavors to persuade |
the public that the corporations are
against him while men like Perkins, |
Munsey, Mccormick and Hanna f.
nance his campaigns. Before the |
campaign ends the voters are likely |
to learn more about the real merits /
of the candidates, and when they |
learn the facts they are likely 10 deal |
