LIKE CHILDISH rule
REGULATION as to Wearing Hat il
British Parliament.
No Member May Raise Point OF Pro.
cedure Unless His Head ls Cow
cred, and the Custom 10
Strictly Observed.

Once more the tyranny of the hat
was asserted recently in the house
Of commons, which, though 1t claims
to be the most dignified legislative
assembly In the world. is in many
ways one of the most ridiculous
writes a London correspondent.
It seems amost incredible that In
the English house Of commons NO
member may raise a point of pro.
cedure during the division unless he
is setting down with his hat on, but 1t
is solemnly laid down in the rules,
and it was for this reason that one silk
hat had to serle three heads during
the debate on home rule few night
ago.. 1t is the custom for members
of the house to sit with their hats
on, and many and various are the
rules as to when a member must keep
his hat on and when he must take it
off, This house is the only legislative
assembly which has such fashion
When a member of the house adj
dresses that body he is supposed to
rise and remove his hat before be-
ginning, but the rule that he must
be seated and wearing his hat when
he takes an exception to the ruling of
the chair is on ironclad. Even Glad
stone, at the top of his power, was
called to order on the one occasion
when he forgot to observe it.
Being on their feet much of the
time, the occupants of the ministerial
and opposition front benches gen.
orally sit bareheaded. In the midst
of the home rule debate few nights
ago, both Sir Edward Carson and Aus
ten Chamberlain had questions to put
to the chair when the division was
called.
Both, however, had left their hats
in the members cloakroom. After
a minute or two, Sir John Lonsdale
handed over his silk hat, which was
donned first by Sir Edward and then
by the Right Honorable Austen, Meth
er of whom it fitted.
There is no end to this farce of
the hat A member is supposed to
raise his hat whenever he is referred
to by another member or whenever
he speaks to anyone on the bench
above or below him. If he wishes
to propose a motion he signifies the
fact by raising his hat. Hats are
used, too, to reserve places in the
house, just as travellers reserve places
in trains leaving their bags on the
seats, and for this reason most mem
bers have spare tile in their lockers.

What Matrimony Means.

Simeon Ford, the reconteur, the
Washington Star says, was speaking
on matrimony at a dinner in New
York.
'Matrimony should mean polite
ness" he said, tbut does it?

rebuked by a policeman for swearing
at woman
Why the man retorted angrily
and reproachfully, she's my wife!'
And the policeman, with pro-

 There was no sale after all. The placarding of the bills had been done on the creditors initiative and with out the knowledge of the process ser- yer, who, as soon as he learned of it, threw up the whole case in right eous indignation.

mannequin from the most fashiona- ble modiste in Rue de la Paix. This is a fact which has brought despair to the hearts of the creators of the fashions, who were at loss to un- derstand how these department sto- res always got hold of their very smartest creations a few days after they had been launched and offered them for sale at one tenth the price, but the riddle has been solved and three society ladies, who had dress es made ill Rue Taitbout, Rue de la Paix and Palace Vendomes merely in order to place them at the dispo- sal of the department stores that paid for them and good commission besides, have suddenly found them selves ostracized by every first class modiste ia Paris. The now have to have their dresses made in London and Vienna.
 M. le Euc de Talleyrand-Perigord, Prince de Sagan, and husband of Miss Anna Gould, who lives in a magnifi- cent house in the Avenue de Mala- koff, has had rather unpleasant trick played upon him by hasty creditor. The prince, no doubt for good reasons of his own, had repudi- ated a deht of $6,00O. The creditor put the matter in the hands of pro- cess server, who visited the Princes mansion and there seized a certain number of articles. A day or two ago there appeared on the walls of the Avenue Malakoff and adjoining streets nnmber of fluaming yellow bills, announcing the sale by public auction of certain objects belonging to the Prince de Sagan and seized foI debt.
 The list made amusing reading Among the personal belongings o1 the Prince seized by the process ser yer were one moustache comb, sever pipes, one cigarette case apparently silver, three cambric nightgowns, . bottom hook, pair of socks, clothes brush. tie pin with al apparent, false pearl. pair ofg black suspend CTS, cloth cap. and pair of bed

PACKEY M'FARLAND
 GENTLEMAN FIGHTER
CHICAGO LAD IS GAME TO THE CLOSE BUT DOES NOT LIKE
 BRUTALITY.
Has Played Football and Basketball and Is a Money
 .... Maker.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Packy McFar- land is gentleman of the ring. Ev- eryone knows there is no such thing as white streak in Packey. He is game to the core. At the same time he is not one of those fighters who like to see their opponents gore run and who gre absolutely regardless of everything except winning their bout
 'I do rot want the man who likes to see knockouts to come to see me fight,'' said Packey, today.
 Those words picture McFariand. He is a boxer who boxes for two things--love of the scientific game and to make money, but he is lh this business making money because he loves it. If there were more McFar- lands the.a would be less legislation against boxing.
 Mcfarland is a clea1-cut, likable lad of twenty-five. He has been box ing since he was fifteen, and took up the spor. after a preparation for it playing rugby at Englewood High School, Chicago.
 Mcfarland played half back when he was fourteen years old on q team that average eighteen years in age. He says football, basketball and oth- CT games are rougher than boxing. He knows that he cannot always Hast as a boxing champion and hence is preparirg for the future by study 1 ing law. At present he is taking a private course under Judge John J..

 We are all in black, filmy breezy black silk in the afternoon now in order not to get overloaded in the hot rooms where we drink tea or dance, in private houses or one of the numerous restaurants made into tango ball rooms.
 The tango bacillus runs riot in our veins and the bridge tables are de- serted, fo: it is not only the young people wh3 are dancing. Oh, No! The modem grandmother is not old or backward, she dances tango pas sionately, happy at this new form of exercise which is far more pleasant than the {, dious gymnastics, and the fashionable doctor who tells his old CT patients that tango is an ideal preserver of youth, is a wise man who kno x; what is expected Of him. In the afternoon then, tout le mon- de is dressed for tango. Black pre- dominates, but you may wear raven blue, brown or elephant grey. The skirt is short and slashed at the knee, because without this any move ment would be impossible. The waist is made from maline or lace through which you see the silk ribons of the lingerie, and it is trimmed with lace ruches ar narrow fur edgings and in the centre of your belt, which Is very low down you wear an enormous

Very many of us powder our hair so that it looks like white cloud under the black velvet. Veils are not popular and those you see are mostly of the yashmiak or harem va riety, that is to say almost opaque at the bottom and transparent from the eyes up. Filmy lace veils with one and never more than one mouche (beauty spot) under the left eye are coming into vogue, a revival of the roccoco. From that period we have also taken the long black silk rib bon in which we carry our monocie or ofte1er a big pearl, which is rare- ly real ill these days when everybody worshops at the shrine of the goddess of imitation. B
 To finish our tango costume we put on very thin silk stockings in the color of the gown and exceeding ly high-keeled shoes tied with rib bons around the ankle. Our sleeves are short and we wear gloves to the elbow in dull light colors and little bags of velvet, with monographs in diamonds
 Our lingerie consists of very thin silk combination, worn under corsets with only one or two whalebones on each side, reaching almost to your knees but barely coming above your waist and leaving your diaphragm free. Above the corsets merely a chemise in batiste or linon trimmed with lace and silk ribbons-C'est tout.
