HARRY FLOYD

In its "side-light flashes" of the leg
islature, the Tallahassee cores pond
ent of the Tampa Tribune has the fol
lowing to say of Harry B. Floyd:
Ben Franklin discovered that cleo
tricity and lightning were kin, and
Harry Floyd applied the electrical
flashes to Franklin county so that to-
day that district is recognized as the
home of one c. H. B. Floyd rather
than the integral part Of the fifth sen
atorial district.
Harry Floyd has been talked about,
laughed about and maligned, but the
fact remains that the Lilliputian is of
the Napoleon type when it comes to
gray matter 1t may be that at times
his verbosity is excessive, that his
verbage is disconnected, his yitupera-
ton uncontrolled and his villifcation
extreme, but Notwithstanding he is
highly capable of taking care Of him
self when it comes to open debate in
the house.
He is master of irony, an employ
er Of sarcasm, distributor of ghoul-
ish glee, an emancipation of repartee,
and a past master in the art Of enter
tanning. He is relished in the house,
and the Florida legislature would be
dulled and dimmed by his absence.
HE parades his learning and lore
Unfortunately and wastefully, but
apparently has a reserve force always
at hand. He delights in rambling
among the stars, plucking roseate
symbols from that empyrean way and
dashing them at the listening public.
He writhes in SMILES that are unus-
ual and pyrotechnic He has meta
phors that are appalling in their inge-
nuity and originality. He dotes on
rapid-fire invectives and gatling style
anathemas. His delivery is the antith-
esis of calm: he enjoys the lingering
Of arms and sway of heads; his bitter
and biting wit Keeps opponents at bay
and his sally Of humor is enjoyed by
all.
when Harry Floyd rises to re-
mark on anything one can generally
bank on attention, for the Franklin
member is always productive of in
terest and entertainment"

MRS. 8RYAN's DATES OVERLAP

Mrs. Bryan's dates overlapped on
saturday, and for while it looked as
though somebody would be disappoint-
ed. Mr.. Bryan had invited the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and their
wives to meet him and Mrs. Bryan at
the New Willard at O'Clock, and for
the same hour Mrs. Bryan had accept
ed an invitation Of Mrs. Matthew 7.
Scott to be a guest of honor at re-
cepti0n at Continental Memorial Hall.
II was explained that Mrs Bryan had
accepted Mrs. SCOTS invitation before
she knew OF her husbands arrange
ments, and as he was leaving the city
1t was necessary for her to acquiesce
in his plans. She solved the difficult
ty by waiting at the New Willard IN
til she had greeted everybody, and
then jumping into the state depart
ment carriage, she was driven rap
idly to Continental Hall. Secretary
Bryan has decided to keep the horses
and carriages belonging to the state
department, which We're purchased
under Secretary Knox The latter is
splendid judge of horseflesh. and
so good We're the horses he selected
for his official use that it was suppos-
ed they belonged to him, as they out
classed anything any cabinet officer
had ever driven around Washington
before. Mr.. Bryan is no less an adj
mirer Of the equines. and rejected all
overtures from an automobile firm in
favor of the teams of his predecessor.
Also he has purchased a very hand
some riding horse. He will probably
be the only member Of the admins
tratiOn to ride horseback. Town

WORK OF PRESERVATION BEING
DONE BY WOMEN'S CLUBS

"The saving of the Palisades on the
Hudson river was chiefly due to the
energetic action of vomen's clubs in
New Jersey" says Addington Bruce
in his Woman in the Making of
America. The famous cliff dwell
ings of Colorado would have been lost
to the nation had it not been for TIE
benetieent activity of a number of Col
oradO women, who organized a Colo
RADIO Cliff Dwellings Association, gain
ed the support of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs and instituted
a successful campaign for the creq-
ton of the Nest Verde National park
The state federation of New
Hampshire lent powerful aid in TIE
struggle for the preservation of the
White Mountain forests. So, too, il
New York, where the state federation
has battled bravely against the van
dalsm that threatens to convert the
Adirondacks and the Catskills into
barren wastes. Elsewhere, particular
ly in Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachu-
sets, Wisconsin, South Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee and California,
women's clubs have done splendid
work for forest preservation.
The movement to rescue Niagara
Falls from the rapacious grasp of
commercialism has been loyalty sup
ported by women in all parts of the
country. Both through their clubs
and as individuals they are ably sec
onding the efforts OF the American
Civic Association, which has made
the saving of Niagara its special
care"

NATNTY shirred effects are always
pretty in thin materials and
we are to wear such diaphanous
fabrics this summer that the model
that is shirred and finished with deep
trimming Of lace is especially worthy
Of mention. In common with many
another design Of this season, trim
ming and treatment completely trans
form it. Fundamentally Il is just a
simple shirred blouse and, il it is made
with high neck and without trimming,
it is available for morning wear
whereas, with the square neck and
trimming, it is really elaborate in
effect.

- REEN on some Of the quiet tones
= is beautiful. A charming COS
tune of crepe de Chine is
finished with a collar and cuffs Of
emerald green satin and there is a
little tunic Of the same arranged over
the skirt while the vestee Of the little
jaunty coat is made Of white cloth
and held by emerald buttons. A most
attractive blouse is made Of sulphur
colored crepe de Chine with trimming
of velvet buttons and cream lace. A
very lovely afternoon gown is made
entirely Of sulphur yellow satin with
girdle and neck bow Of navy satin
while the collar and chemisette are Of
soft white tulle Everything dainty
and transparent is used for yokes and
chemisettes. Either we wear round
neoks or appear to do so for the cover
ings when used are nearly invisible

devised for the use for which this dress
is designed. It is admirable for the
luncheon or bridge party, il is quite
correct for the theatre and, If a little
loose coat Of satin. either Of the same
or Of a bright color, we're added. the
costume be worn upon the street as
well as within doors.
Very little children are extremely
apt to follow the trend Of their mothers
in prevailing styles. This season
draped frocks Of this sort are fashion
able and they are made from all sorts
Of pretty, childlike materials. The lace
bertha that falls over the shoulders
gives pretty lines and the sash that is
arranged at the high waist line is
quaint in effect. In the back view. the
same frock is shown with the skirt
allowed to hang straight and without
the frill on the foundation.
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1913-04-03

CIMPLE models are always espe-
y cially appealing as warm weather
approaches. The blouse with
the full fronts and diagonal closing is
very charming and very attractive.
Il is pretty for the cotton crepes that
are worn so much, charming for the
soft silks and Il is equally we'll adapted
to marquisette and voile. This one Is
made of dotted null with trimming
Of embroidery. A very smart blouse
could be made from white crepe de
chine with collar and cuffs of en-
broidery in Bulgarian style or the new
MORE silk. which is soft enough to be
made full. with collar and cuffs Of
plain material or lace. In fact, as
stated in the opening sentence, the
blouse of the season is a fascinating
creation, made from many beautiful
materials and in many attractive ways

>OR indoor wear, nothing seems 50
popular as crepe whether il is
in silk or wool or a mixture Of
fhe two or cotton. An attractive
@ttle afternoon dress that illustrates the
favor for crepe and the new over
blouse in its latest from is extensively
charming in an unusual way. The
skirt is narrow. showing a plain triple
BOX plait at the back while, at the
front, it is very slightly draped over
2 wedge-shaped panel The bodice

scarcely anything prettier could be
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1913-04-03

FRONT Blessings make an accepted
feature Of blouses of the simpler
sort. One Of these shown here is
made with a little chemisette and
Robespierre collar that are cut in one.
II includes a becoming plat over each
shoulder and it makes an excellent
model both for the simple gown and
for the odd blouse. Practical. useful
buttons and button-holes make the
proper means Of closing.
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1913-04-03

TRILLS make another important
feature just now The two frilled
blouses are charming. Each
shows a different variety Of the Robes
pierre collar. The blouse with over
tapped edges and diagonal closing can
be made with either long or elbow
sleeves. In the illustration, the ma
terial is a brocaded crepe and the
collar is white silk while the frill is OF
lingerie material hem-stitched. The
other frilled blouse is somewhat more
on the shirt waist order but includes a
novel and pretty closing. 1t also can
be made with shorter sleeves as can
almost every model shown. for sleeves
are a matter Of individual preference
and It is always easy to cut them of
at any desired length.
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1913-04-03

THERE is no feature Of present
styles more insistent than the
one Of contrasting sleeves. The
illustration shows two blouses that are
treated in that way. In one case, the
plain sleeves are simply stitched to the
blouse at the dropping shoulder line
but, In the other. there is a novel
arrangement Of over-lapped edges
that is in every way distinctive. The
palmer blouse is closed right down the
front and shows a satisfactory feature
in the sleeves that are laid in little
tucks at the inner arm, for these tucks
provide fullness for the elbows. In this
case, lowered silk is combined with
plain. The more elaborate blouse
shows brocaded cotton crepe over
plain crepe but a pretty effect could be
obtained by the use of contrasting
wolfe or cotton crepe over white, or
fancy silk over plain; for we are treat
ing silk and cotton after the same
manner this season.
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1913-04-03

OUCH an over blouse as the one
shown is sure to be appreciated.
II can be made from so many
different materials and it can be put
to so many different uses. Just now
when we are using the loveliest pos
sible brocaded and lowered silks, il is
especially useful. This one can be
worn over any kind Of a blouse or
guimpe and a practical feature is
found in the adjustable girdle that
can be arranged at the high or the
natural waist line. As shown here, the
blouse is made of one Of the satin
finished foulards and is designed to be
worn with a skirt to match.
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1913-04-03

TINE blouse Is a subject Of per
petual interest to the feminine
world. This season it has taken
on so many possibilities that It makes
a never-ending subject Of discussion.
We will wear long sleeves, three-quar-
ter sleeves and elbow sleeves. We will
wear round, square and V-shaped necks
with and without chemisettes. A great
many Of the blouses are made with the
long dropping shoulder line and again
the over blouse is in the height Of
style. Such models lend themselves
20 combinations Of material with ideal
success and this is essentially a season
Of combinations The illustration is
replete with suggestion.
