NITA'S new YORK FASHIONS
Winter > Resort Fashions Forecast
Summer Hfodes-SmaH but Stylish
Hats-BIack and White Safe.

The flight southwark begins along
in January and continues through
February and March. You are not
considered much in the fashionable
world if you don't take at least a trip
to Aiken, but your prestige rises if the
southern hegira includes Florida, Ber-
muda or the Isthmus of Panama, the
latter being especially favored by
those who are looking for green fields
and pastures new
OF course this ''out of the snow
mands suitab BILE attire for the tropical
chimes and New York shops, always
alert in the matter of seasonable sug-
gestions, have windows crowded with
gowns and hats for wear at Palm
Beach or Panama
of course these are the advance
guard of the summer modes of the
North and therefore must be regarded
as more than a mere flyer to quote
q sporting term. Hence they are of
interest to the rest of us stay-at-hones
who are beginning to think of summer
toys
Along Fifth avenue. where the shops
are keenly attuned to the pulse of the
fashionabIes the shop windows are a
tantalizing joy to the Individual who
stands two inches deep in sIush, swath-
ed in q storm coat, gazing wistfully at
modes far removed from the moment.
To me the hats are best worth re-
cording, for an extreme is reached in
these that makes them truly laugh

on the other hand l never cared for
the extremely small specimens of mil

monkey of an organ grinder.
In one of the, smartest shops that
always carries the last word in head
wear there was little bit of a straw
derby, color cream, trimming an ORR
entail band with Two loops sticking out
behind. presumably to add size to the
real hat, and on the crown mind you.
three pink silk rose buds
I merely quote this one hat as the
extreme of absurdity. There are 9TH
ers, small but exceedingly chic. Very
little trimming is used but the tend
ency is to extension effect in the
way of loops at the back This mode

and hair as well re-appearss in straw.
With a couple of perky velvet loops
sticking. up in front, this model is very
pleasing on a youthful face, with a
few stray curIs wandering out from
the closely. woven shape
Even with these barometers, it is
impossible to predict just what color
will be most favored for spring and
summer 1913. It is wise to stick
closely to black and white as you can't
go very far astray with these even
though the shapes are queer and the
trimming freakhsh.

REVIEWS
FROM
Our Exchanges
MIR. HEALY.

(HartfOrd T1meS.)
We dislike to say anything which
will deter the Republican majority in
the House from continuing it's chosen
al and insuring continuation and ex
tension of Democratic sucucess, but
the appointrnen t of Mr. Hea1y to the
hea)dship of the judiciary committee
must necessarily rouse poignant emo
ton.
Mr.. HeaIy was removed from a
somewhat exalted public office for al
legged serious misconduct therein by a
Republican governor. 1t is not for a
newspaper to pass upon Mr.. HeaIey's
guilt or innocence. That was deter
mined by the states chief ma gistrate
In the intervening years Mr.. Healy has
never cleared himself of the charge.
His methods of securing vindication
have taken the form of attempts to eX-
alt himself in other lines
To place him at the head of the ju-
dietary committee is to rebuke the
executive who removed him. to affront
the serious-minded citizens of this
state who have regarded the state
government as something more than
and to mock at the dignity of the leg
tally affecting the welfare of the COM
monwea1th 1t is proof conclusive
that the Republican organization, In
spite of bitter lesson, has not yet
learned to treat the citizenship of Con
necticut with anything better than
contemptuouS disregard.
But of course the Republican house
majority is at full liberty to continue
as it has begun.

DESERVED CRITICISM.
1springhe1d Repub1ican.l

Strength is given to the bull moose
party IN Connecticut by such fatuous
laundering as the Republican legisla-
tive leaders at the state capitol are
guilty of Mr.. HeaIy, who has been
chairman of the judiciary committee,
the most important committee in the
House, and also the floor leader of the
majority, is identified with the worst
phases of machine and corporation
rule. A few years ago ne was remov-
ed by a. Republican governor from
the office of state tax commissioner,
as the Hartford Courant now says,
under serious charges" The Cou-
rant says that Mr.. Hea1y did not want
the House leadership; then so much
the worse for the party that has fore
ed him into it.

KITCHEN CRAFT
Lettuce and Potato Salad.

Shred the lettuce till very fine and
keep in cool place. Peel and cut
raw potatoes into dice-shaped bits,
and cook in sailed water with two or
three onions. Take out when done,
remove the onions pour over the po
tatoes while they are still hot dress
ing of oil, vinegar. pepper and salt,
the same old way, and let them cool.
Let them get very cool before putting
on the lettuce, which should be dress
ed with little of the same sort used
for the potatoes. The advantage in
dressing the potatoes while they are
hot is that it gives the dressing a
chance to soak into the vegetables and
to flavor them thoroughly, besides
giving them that sort of creamy con-
sistency which they do MT seem to
acquire if dressed when quite cold.
Chopped parsley and thin slices of
cold boiled eggs may be added to this
salad garnish, as may sliced
gherkins and capers. 1t is much bet
ter to get the flavor of onion by boil
ing with the potatoes as herein sug
gested than to trysto bring about that
result by adding raw onions, sliced
or chopped.
