the back that covers in a graceful way

One swallow does not make summer,
and one plaid gown does not make a
fashion, and yet the idea is so good that
it should be borrowed by many. 1t has
been a long time since plaids were used in
America, although some caprice of Paris
brought in the Scotch plaids last sum-
mer: they fell flat in the States and We're

not even used for accessories. Over there
they even got into millinery, and Scotch
turbans with cairngorm brooches were
worn with velvet suits which had collars
and cuffs of plaid.
Maybe the fact that the design is pc
culiarly absorbed by the schoolgirl over
here is responsible for its elimination
from the wardrobe of the older woman.
Whatever the reason, it might prove in

frocks will be at the height of fashion
this spring and are already being worn
on the streets instead of coat suits The
sumptuous furs of the season are re-
sponsible for this kind of costume being
exploited SO early in the season. They
have been so varied and so lavish in their
width and fullness and the season has
been SO mild that it was not possible to
wear them in addition to a coat.

Say what you will about the Florida
and Georgia season and magnify the i'm
portance of it's place in fashions it is not
really a guide to what will come 1t is
called the little season in America-this
resting time between the gayeties in So
ciety and trade. There is nothing signifi-
cant behind the clothes worn during
these weeks as there is behind the clothes
worn on the Riviera. To that spot on the
azure coast the greatest designers OF
Paris send their newest ideas: they toll
and agonize over experimental frocks
that will be heralded to a waiting world
as the last thing in style The cut of a
coat by Paquin. the swirl of sash by
Premet, that new star in Paris: tie
drapery of a skirt by Cabot. the hang of
a coat suit by Drecoll, the use of a new
sleeve by Worth. are events of impor-
lance to every one concerned.
Those who make and those who wear
are equally concerned over the success
of every gown worn on the Riviera. Later
on these fashions will be shown to the
American buyers with notifications
caused by the criticism of the public. The
women who don these frocks are quite
conscious that the eyes of a world that
takes fashion seriously are upon them
and they throw themselves into the role
of displaying them with a dramatic sense
that is impossible TO the Anglo-Saxon.
Half the work of the Paris designers is
done when the Riviera season begins: the
rest of the time is taken up with oDSer-

the country than to the advantage of
those whom they employ. The expert

We have a freer hand in working

There need be no conflict or jeal-

used, but not monopolied upon any
narrow idea of individual rights as
against the abiding interests of com

That a policy can be worked out by
conference and concession which will
release these resources and yet not
jeopardize or dissipate them, for one
have no doubt. and it can be done on
lines of regulation which need be no
less acceptable to the people and gov.

as well as more safe. This is an all

life and energy lies even nearer to our
interest than the preservation from
waste of our material resources.

Women Against Suffrage Pro.
test to Senate Today.
Not in Favor of Amy COnStitu-
tiOnal Amendment.

Washington, April 19.-Anti-su f-
fragists appeared in force today pre-
pared to protest to the senate woman
suffrage committee against any con-
stitutional amendment giving the
right of franchise to their sex. Two
hours had been allotted them in
which to present their arguments.
Among the principal speakers were
Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, president of
the National association opposed to
woman suffrage; Mrs. A. J. George,
secretary of the Massachusetts branch
of the organization and Miss Lucy J.
Price, one of it's foremost lecturers
and workers.
The women also brought with them
letters of protest from many anti
suffragists throughout the country.
Among them were arguments written
by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Molly
Eliot Seawell, authors who condemned
the suffrage cause. These were in the
care of Mrs. Francis NJ. Scott, a pion-
eer in the anti-Suffragist movement.
Trousers" Leader Was There.
The committee room was filled with
women a half hour before the hearing
began, a few men were present. Miss
Alice Paul and several other leaders
of the Suffragist cause had places near
the committee table and listened to

Walker, who has the statutory right
to wear trousers, sat just behind Chair

through reports of testimony in the
case of 1Ir. Murphy of the Star by
Paul Sutermeister, a reporter of the
Kansas City Journal, who corroborated
Mr.. Murphy's testimony and by testi-
mony of court officials concerned in
the original divorce case.
Referring to articles published in
the Star subsequent to the decision 10
Judge Guthrie and bearing thereon,
the report says:
Your commissioner admitted over
the objection of the petitioner articles
published by the petitioner, but your
commissioner is of the opinion that
all the articles which appear in this
record should be excluded"

to all articles except an interview with
Judge Ralph Latshaw of the criminal
court. This interview published In the
Star quoted Judge Latshaw as saying
the decision of Judge Guthrie was
Outrageous" and that he would new
er "allow Mr.. Nelson to be locked up
in jail"
The report holds that this article
should be excluded for the additional
reason that it was publication of a
statement made by judge of the
criminal court of Jackson county re-
ferring to what the judge intended to
do officially. In the opinion of your
commissioner this interview should be
stricken from the record on the
ground that it was scandalous on the
part of the judge giving it. But your
commissioner cannot find serious fault
with a layman for repeating the state
ment."
