EDITORIAL.

Why should Kentucky Dem
ocrats overlook, or undereSti-
mate, two of her distinguished
sons, when either of them would
not only make an executive who
would measure up to the highest
standard required by the people
and the exigencies of the strain
ed business conditions of the
country, but would bring enthu-
siasm to every part of our great
nation? Hon. Champ Clark is no
ain-bow chaser, no lightweight
in the field of activities. He
is not theoretical, but practicable,
pointed and effective in his eff
forts to advance the interests of
the entire people. Not a pluto.
crat, but a Democrat in the
broadest Sense-a man well
schooled in the field Of construc-
tive craftsmanship, with exec
utive ability the equal of any
other American. He stands for
the reforms the people demand
and the country most needs, and
his record is spotless in all his
public career. If he should be
given the nomination, he would
win. Then Hon. Oscar W. Un-
derwood is the strongest leader
that a Democratic congress ever
had man of tremendous pow
ers, aggressive, progressive on
true Democratic principles and
policies. His leadership agai ms
class legislation and favoritism.
| in giving equal opportunity to
all, has no superior in the annals
of American history. His deter
mination to accomplish the re-
forms in the tariff that will give
] relief to the great mass of the
people and knock from trusts
their strongest bulwark, is known
to all who read. No man can
doubt his executive powers, nc
one can discredit his Democracy.
True, he has not left the ole
path Of Jeffersonian principles Il
beat the brush of sentimental
ism and popular praise, bu
steadfast and true, courageou.
and undaunted he has made

LECTURES ON INDIA.
distinguished HIndoo Pays Tribute
to British Rule.


Denying that Great Britain has ever
used India for her own exploltations,
Rustom Rustomiee. a distinguished
scholar Of India, in his lecture on The
Parsees Of India; their costumes, customs,
and ceremonies" before the National
Geographic Society last night at the New
Masonic Temple. declared that the money
raised by taxation of the people OF India
Is used by Great Britain for the improve
ment of India, and not dollar OF II for
England herself.
England has just begun a great ere
for India" said Mr.. Rustomjee. "and
the crowning Of King George and Queen
Mary as. Emperor and Empress OF India
was the greatest event in the history OF
that country. Great Britain, instead OF
just ending as some people think, Is just
beginning TO rule India"
In speaking OF the Parsees of India. Mr..
Rustomjee said that through the thirteen
centuries which have elapsed since these
people, numbering 1000 left Persia for
India, they have maintained their fndi-
viduality as a race and are a most re-
markable people. having been the first
OF the Oriental races to educate their
women.
Following the lecture, Ambassador
Byrce made a short address, describing
some of the remarkable customs OF the

new ORNAMENTS
FOR The HAIR

Pearls threaded through the hair have
ranked among the most beautiful and
becoming coiffure ornaments the wits OF
women have devised all through fash
ioE IS history. and strands of the lus-
trOus globes are being used still for the
ornamentation OF the tresses.
In a new way saw them worn the
other evening. A strand of particularly
lovely gems was threaded through the
hair that draped the crown Of the head,
and then Was brought beneath the chin,
making a necllet of quite a new de-
scription, rather like a chin strap, ann
fascinatingly pretty. -
Draperies are centainly the crux of the
new coiffure schemes, and the skill with
which the carefully FURNISHED tresses
are coaxed into sculpture-like neatness,
without a suggestion Of primness, IS
most clever
In the nape Of the neck curls are ar
ranged and upon the forehead IN many
instances short TlEgs Is cut 1nIs
type OF hairdTessing makes the flat and
classical band a picturesque resource as
a decoration. There are steel and silver
fillgree ones that are very effective and
that can be worn in lieu Of the valuable
gems.

DRESS HINTS FOR
ELDERLY WOMEN
Gowns and Hats Which Are
Suitable and Dressy.

Evening gowns are for elderly women,
too. Why not? do not say that they
should be decolette, because there are
few women OF sixty summers, who can
still boast Of beautiful neck. But Il is
not difficult to have n gown that is low
cut in effect saw an excellent illus
tration of just such a gown the other
evening-it was OF black chantiIy lace
over white charmeuse, with bands OF Jet
III surplice effect on the bodice. and the
V, both back and frcnt, was filled with
tulIe. At a distance the gown looked to
be strixingly decolette, but at the same
time II was perfectly modest for a wom-
an Of so many years. The stately ALL
black gown should be the only kind
considered by the woman Of seventy, or
more, as her years should then be con-
sidered.
II a woman is really yearning to look
old she can easily have her wish full
filled by wearing certain styles Of coats
the loose, shapeless kinds that are elab-
orately braided and have "old lady"
imprinted all over.
For winter there is no more charm
ing coat than one OF fur-genuine seal
skin, Persian lamb or Hudson seal-as IL
possesses the desired tone OF dignity and
also provides the necessary warmth. A
black broadcloth coat with fur lining
and Persian lamb or skunk collar. should
be second choice. as il is cOzy and warm.
No matter how correctly the elderly
woman may be gowned, II her hat is
not absolutely in harmony with her
years, It will ruin her entire appearance.
Some women insist upon wearing middle
aged clothes, but at the same time feel
that they owe It to their years to wear
bOnnets. But the bonnet day is over,
except for the dear old ladies. How
ever. the picture hat is not for their
selection, even If the costume IS inclined
to be elaborate. The only definition that
can be applied 70 hats for these women
is merely conservative-both in size and
style. For dress wear hats, French os-
trich and paradise plumes are the most
appropriate thing, but not to an extrava-

material other than the dress.
This season no formal costume is made
of ore material Satin and moire to-
gether. or either OF these materials with
velvet are happy combinations.
Fur coats have now a rival in the
smart coats of heavy plush. These new
coats are usually trimmed with fur Of a
brownish tone. and are very elegant
Jewels, embroidery, rich brocades. lace
and fur all are used as magnificent TRIM

Some pretty scarfs are new ones which
are shaded from deep tone 10 the palest

All sorts OF pretty caps are worn with
tea gowns These are trimmed with
beads OF gold bands or fur.
Black and white are still good Double
faced materials are in the foreground
and are appearing even in lace.
Most OF the muffs are enormous fiat
squares. Velvet frills combined with fur

Fringe edges hats. wraps, scarfs. sashes,

Jabots, peIisses, and rabats are more
important than ever in the decoration of
separate blouses and bodies Of one-piece
frocks.
Hats are sIoping away abruptly from
the face toward the back. A puffed crown
or a plain fitted hood effect may be the
finishing line, but this ''niniche' shape is
one OF the types that has caught the
fancy Of the designers and the wearers.
The new tailored silk waist does not
look unlike the ordinary mannish shirt.
Often the waists have reversible and de-
tachable cuffs and a detachable frill and
can be fixed up quickly as a dressy waist,
though generally they are used for busi-
ness or travel
Large collars are cut in odd shapes.
Some are Of lace. some of fur, and others
of the most gOrgeously beaded tissues.
Ratine has found good deal Of favor
with milIiners. and II is used in its rough

which means hat that is coIIapsibIe and

for the city streets, though IL is often
worn an them.
Nuns OF fur or satin are trimmed with
fringe, narrow and wide, and evening
scarfs, which are made OF gauze and
gathered in the middle OF the back and
over the arms. are also edged with a mar
