With the passing OF the years the
reverence in which Jefferson Is held
by the American people at large. as
well an by the Democratic party, has
increased rather than diminished.
There have been iconoclasts who have
sought to prove-and have built up a
very plausible case--that Thomas
Paine. and not Jefferson. wrote the
Declaration Of Independence. Other
idol breakers have sought to show
that "Jeffersonian simplicity" was a
myth. and that Jefferson really lived
the life of an ar-istocrat.
When Jefferson was President he
was sternly opposed to any observ-
ance OF his birthday. and when a
movemNnt having that end in view
was inaugurated by his friends. and
he was asked to divulge his birthday.

distasteful to me than what you pro-

GIRDLES OR SASHES
FOR SUMNER GOWNS

Girdles are mostly broad and soft,
many reaching nearly to the bust line.
The waist line will tend toward nor
NAL in the tailored effects, while in
party or evening gowns the waist line
may be either very high or extremely
low.
For the stout woman, a yoke-shapel
girdle, with seam in front, line taper
ing into a long sash in the back and
tied at the end with fat bow, gives
height to the figure and relieves
breadth at the hips.
A fancy sash, four or five yards long
and ten inches wide, made of soft crepe
or charmeuse, worn twice around the
waist and allowed to drop from sides
to center of back, where it is tied in a
big fiat bow, is seen on many dainty
white gowns.
Girdles of Persian embroidery, cut
with two deep points in front and one
at back, finished with black silk tas-
sells, gives an Oriental touch to Il
dark-colored gown.
