s Have So Fea Great
Speakers.

In the department called The
interpreters House." in the Sep
tember American Magazine appears
the following:
So far as the writer knows there
are only two real fine speakers be-
fore large assemblages in either
party. They are w. J. Bryan and
Bourke Cochran, although Wood
row Wilson, of whose eloqueuce his
friends speak with much enthusiasm,
remains to be put to the great test
of addressing huge and sometimes
hostile crowds. At times Mr.. Little
ton of New York has shown signs
of possessing the ancient gifts, but
his early southern training is too
much for him and he is apparently
incapable of resisting for more than
five minutes, the lure of false meta
phor, ALTERATION and the other vices
of trumpery oratory.
THE reason for the decline seems
plain enough. Always in this coun-
try the lawyers held almost a mo-
nopoly of public speaking. Their
practice at the bar kept them IN
constant training for their occasion
al appearances on the platform
Nowadays the best lawyers go sell
dom to court. They stay close in
their offices, applying knowledge of
the law and ingenuity in reasoning
that would be thrown away on the
average Judge, to the building up
and safeguarding of large business
undertakings in which they are part
ners as we'll as counsel. They have
altogether neglected the art of ad-
dressing the crowd and have neither
the time nor the inclination for the
physical training which all great
orators have found essential to the
production of their calculated
efforts"

FROCKS FOR LITTLE GIRL
Simple Styles That Are Always In
Favor and That Would Be Un-
wise to Change.

In children's frocks nowadays style
is quite as important as it is in re-
gard to grown-up garments. For a
long time there has been comparative.
ly little difference in the outline OF
clothes for young girls, grown girls
and their still girlish mothers, but per.
haps this is to no small extent due to
the fact that grown-up lines have been
simple enough for children to adopt.
No doubt IL our dressmakers sue
coed in forcing upon us panniers and
draperies, general good taste will pre-
vent our defying little girls frocks to
match, and We shall leave them still
straight, slim and simple. Meantime
the coat and skirt of simple make,
with plain front panel, large revers
and collar and the inevitable sprink-
ling OF buttons or long Cossack
frock or a pleated skirt and Magyar
blouse are each regarded as in their
proper place becoming to the school
girl or even to the smaller child.
