Nesbit, center and incentive OF
the world famous Thaw scandal,
greeted me with prim little nod.
Her transparent orange muslin
gown emphasized girlish figure
slight to the point of frailty. No
longer incontestably beautiful,
her hazel eyes large and long, hel
piquant, carefree face now sub
tly defiant, give her still a beauty

Pausing, Miss Nesbit laughed,
not a pleasant laugh, although
the red lips disclosed two rows
of pearly teeth. Troublous years
have not dealt lightly with "Flos-

II am thinking of your ques-

on open hand.

"Well, take my experience, for

duction in express rates for par
cells all over the country. The
cut ranged from 10 to 80 per

The commission declared that
the rates will be merely expert

will become permanent unless
the companies lose ftoc much.
Today's order will force a close
competition between the express
companies and the parcels post.
In many instances the new rates
will be lower than the postal

Practically all rates on parcels

radically lowered. On small pack

said today he had not re.

When Informed that the
report was a 10 to 90 per
cent cut in small parcel
rates he said:
'"That looks like an In
justice. OF course it would
probably mean more busi-
ness, but we would certain
ly need it with any such
cuts as that"
1t is general talk that the
express companies have al

PROVES THE SPIRIT
OF THE PEOPLE

Tampa Times: One county in
Florida has emulated on small
scale MissOuri's and Alabama's great
rOad-building achievements. Marion
on last Thursday with five thousand
men built eighteen miles of road
and they say it was good road, too.
The people OF Marion are TO be
congratulated upon their grit and
energy and public spirit. Even if
the road they have built is not first
class-and We do not by any means
undertake to say that it is not-the
eXertiOns that they have made and
the example they have set the rest
Of the state would be worth while.
These road-WOrkings en- maSse
show the spirit Of the people. their
ENTERPRISE and their determination
TO DO things for themselves. They
evince the deep interest the people
take in the construction of good
roads and their Importance and ne
cessity to the country.

be exemplified in this wedding, which
will typify the democratic idea.
The ceremony will be marked by all
the simplicity and lack of ostentation
which has been a characteristic of the
Wilson regime at Washington. The
efforts of the President and of the
bride herself to divest the ceremony
of all unnecessary pomp will still
further strengthen the human ties
which bind the Wilson's to the common
people. The sensible action in Wash
ington to buy a gift for the bride is
new departure in official etiquette
and would never have occurred in any
other country.
The ceremony will take place in the
famous East Room OF the White House,
which has been the setting of so many
events of historic interest i'll this cOun-
try. Miss Wilson will be the fifth
daughter OF President to be married
in the executive mansion. The first
was Miss Marie Monroe, who. in
March, 1920. was married to her
cousin. Lawrence Gouyeneur of New
York. Elizabeth Tyler was married
to Congressman Waller of Virginia in
1912. In 1874 General Grants daugh-
ter, Nellie, was married to Algernon
Sartoris. an Englishman. The last
White House wedding was on Febru-
airy Il, 1906, when Alice Roosevelt
became Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
The only president to be married
while in the White House was Grover
/ Cleveland. who was married to Miss
Frances Folsom soon after his inaugu-
/ ration in 1885.

But Anyway, Fashions We Have With Us
Always---Sometimes They Are Worse
Than Others

some beneficial or protective infiu-
ence on the wearer. Ultimately they
assumed decorative function and
the glory that was theirs has lived
on.
Where is the silk hat and frock coat
of twenty years ago? What has be-
come of the old fashioned college man
with his peg top trousers creased
along the sides and the yards OF un-
necessary cloth in their seat, and the
long coats with raZor-edged creaseS?
Where are the mortar-board hats OF
yesteryear? Where is that old time
rooter that used to walk the sidelines,
his hands deep in his side pockets, his
curved pipe in his mouth, his small
bottom and high cuffed trousers rest
ing at the top of his boX-toed shoes,
his four-in-hand tie hanging from
his little wide-pointed collar, his flat,
teiescoped hat?
How changed!
Today he must be content to hang
his arms at his sides and leave his
pipe at home. With the yards of extra
cloth in his old-time suit, coat has
been made for his dad" The cuff on
| the bottom OF his pants has been
| placed around his hat, and his bow
| tie has been put on the back of his
hat or cap. His collar is high and
long pointed or round-edged; his neck
| tie resembles a garden of roses. There
| is just enough room in his coat pocket
for his cigarette case and enough room
in his trousers pocket for his latch
key.
Just what is the correct dress today?
| The suits are, of course, closeftting,
with small turned-up bottoms on the
trousers. The pads on the shoulders,
used first by soldiers to keep their
guns from slipping, are missing. The
lapels are short and pointed at the
! top, with heavy roll that covers the
first button of the coat. The cOlorS are
combinations of black and white
greens and plaids. The vest has a col
lar. A black silk guard is worn around
the neck for the watch or monocle, or
chain for the watch across the front
of the vest. The vests and coats have
patch pockets. The two-breasted
English sack is nODular
The hats are high crowned and in
shades of green, blue and smoke gray
The caps have pleated back with a
bow and are made of rough cloth. They
come in plaids, checks and stripes. The
visor is long. The derby hats have q
high crown with narrow, heavy roll
brim.
The ties are knitted, with gooC
deal OF color. The tango tie, wide
knitted tie. is the latest The bow
ties are wide with pointed ends.
Soft shirts are worn, with double
French cuffs.

ont in the shoes, the toes being long
and pointed. Some wear white hose
with black shoes. The heel is low.
The overcoats this season are snort
with belted back and inverted plait'
Some have the heavy shawl collar.
The longer coats have the belt extend
ing all the way around. There Is
heavy sale on mackinaws. They come
in three STYLES, the Norfolk, with the
belt all the way around, the PLAIN
mackinaw and the long mackinaw Wlth
belt in the back and inverted plat.
The colors vary. The full dress suits
are skin-ftting.
How are fashions perpetrated! Some
say that is was an early desire to outuo
nature. and others that it came about
through imitation, the poor attempt
ing to dress like the rich, desire TO
assert equality. In the days OF pubic
executions in Europe the criminals
sometimes chose to wear fashionable
clothes when they went to the scanolu.
The fashion would at once change.
If Cy Hoskins had been asked few
years ago what he would think oil d
well-dressed college man of 1913 with
his near-tights and the little bow on
his cap,-if Cy had been asked such a
question as this he would have turned
away and said: There CANT be no
such animal"
But Cy has lived and learned. only
last summer his son returned from col
lege and told his dad how he follow
ed zone of those English-dressed fel-
lows around in order to learn how to
do the English walk"
1t is what our eyes become accus-
toned to that we consider bright and
fitting. A few years ago every man
wore suspenders. Since then it has
become one of the hard and fast rules
of college life that freshmen must
leave his suspenders at home with his
'jeWelry."
And maybe tomorrow we'll, we
should worry. Let the women set the
pace.
