 Letter of Withdrawal.
 Here is the@ letter written by MT. Jones to- the president withdrawing from the fight: <.,.
 My Dear MT. President: I have reached a definite conviction that it is my duty to ask you to withdraw my nomination as a. member of the federal reserve board. You are aware that I was in no sense whatever an applicant for the office. It was with the gravest reluctance that I agreed to accept the honorable but heavy burdens of that office in case my nomination were sent to the senate and confirmed by it. Y
 II did not then anticipate a pro- tracted and bitter contest At the invitation of the committee. on bank ing and currency I willingly appeared before it to answer any questions which they might desire to ask of me, and I endeavored to answer with entire frankness all the ques- tions that were asked and my testi- mony was made public at my request.
 Tt is not for me to surmise mo- tives or ito complain of results That my nomination and the controversy that has arisen over it in the com mittee on banking and currency is seriously embarrassing your admins tration and is causing injury to the party of which you are the leader is too clear to admit of any doubt
 And in view of the character of the report made by the majority of. the committee on banking and currency, a. majority composed of six republi- cans and two zdemo of it based on distortion of facts and per vefsion@-of truth feel convinced that such opposition has developed to
New Britain herald., 1914-07-24

the confirmation of my ,appOintm ent and such criticism has been made of my nomination that even if the nomi- nation were confirmed, by the senate my usefulness as member of the federal reserve board would be seri- ously impaired.
 II am not willing longer to- remain the cause of embarrassment to you and to your administration, and in view of the considerations above stated l now ask that you withdraw my name from consideration.
 Faithfully yours,
 THOMAS D. JONES"
 Mir. Jones' Personal Letter.
 The above letter was Mr. Jones' formal declination. but he also wrote personal letter tofthe' president and MT. Wilson gave out a part of it as follows: ~ess.
 ''I cannot let the matter go with out personal word. which deemed inappropriate to be inserted in that letter. confess that the opportun- ity to be associated with you, even in a minor way, in the actual crea- tive work. of government took. strong hold upon my ina agination. ~
 Tt served to overbear doubts of the wisdom of my undertaking the task presented, growing mainly out of consideration of :, health. I doubt whether I could have stood the work long, but I was prepared to devote the last ounce of strength there was in me to the work which your proposal seemed to bring to me.
 ''Now that the vision is passed my preponderant feeling is that of pro- found relief had come to feel that I was in some way the occasion of getting you into inextricable difficult ties. I am sure that my withdrawal is wise.
 1T hardly dare trust myself 10 say how deeply I prize the confidence you have shown in me and your en- deavors to carry the matter through. It will always be a matter of deep pride to me.
 With light apparently ahead in Mexico, and with achievements al- ready accomplished, which even the m ost sanguine. could not have antici- pated year and half ago., you can afford to face minor irritations with entire equanimity If from now on you are beset with controversy and difficulties you can, in my opinion, rely with entire confidence upon the fact that your past achieve ments will rank among the highest achievements- of the holders of your great office. ~.. .- a,,. ,.s..,. :is The Presidents Reply.

With warmest regards l cordially and faithfully yours, WOODROW WILSON. # Dramatic Withdrawal. The withdrawal of the nomination of MT. Jones was accepted under dra- matic circumstances. Senator Reed was on the floor of the senate grilling the International Harvester company
 and making a sharp attack upon MT.
 Jones.
 Senator Reeds speech was sensa- tional In referring to the fact that
 MT. Jones pleaded that he did not be-
 come a director of the Harvester trust
 until after it was organized Senator
 Reed had just said:
 "A man who volunteers to serve on
 board a pirate ship with an already
 established criminal history may be
 worse than one who enlists with the
 original crew. The latter might have
 been, deceived into the service: the former knows the gory record of the
 craft
 ''The man who conducts the Har- vester trust cannot escape responsibil- ity by alleging that his sponsor and friend created it before he took ser vice.
 "A man who cannot determine whether the practices of a monopoly are illegal until the question has been decided by the courts is too much in need of advice to be placed in posi- tion requiring great discretion and in dependent judgment. Even burglar is willing to admit his wrong after he has been advised by a court and duly sentenced to the pen.'
 Senator Reed was still hurllng his bolts against MT. Jones when Senator Hitchcock, smiling, tiptoed into the chamber He moved over near Sen ator Reed and slipped him piece of paper telling of the presidents ac- tion. Senator Reed read the note, looked surprised and then resumed his task once more with renewed energy. He was still flashing the Har- vester company when the presidents messenger appeared at the senate door and handed in the notice of withdrawal. t Senators Hitchcock and Reed be- .lieve they have won a great victory over the president and do not seem to fear the political consequences Each of them expects to be strength ened in his own state by the result.

materials, such as lawn, organdy,
Swiss, or handkerchief linen, the edges
are picot edged or hemmed and hem
stitched. PiQue collars are also picot
edged and are usually doubled, as are
the heavier linen collars.
! With the return Of the 1880 styles
the basque and bustle-has come the
, latter's satellite, the sash. Sashes of
ribbon, silk and even of the same fab.
/ rio as the dress are most important
and charming addition to dresses of
null or organdy, silk or serge.
Handsome broad ribbons are to be
had in any number of designs suitable
for different kinds of costumes. Louis
XIV. designs In dainty colors, banded
on either edge with satin stripe or
corresponding color or of black, will
give the simplest dress of lawn or
Swiss an air Of dainty charm, while a
richly striped or figured ribbon swirled
loosely around and securely tackled to
a foundation skirt, having black
chiffon tunic or overskirt draped over
it, is a method of obtaining variety
which famous French dressmakers are
using.
The Mexican designs which are fol-
lowing closely in the wake of the
Mexican revolution bid fair to be most
popular in the fall. Queer stilted de-
signs of birds, weird reptiles and cab.
alistic geometrical figures, in brilliant,
but crude combinations Of color, ap-
, pear on ribbons whose trimming posi-
bilities cannot be ignored. A girdle
made of nine-inch ribbon crushed
around the waist, closing with a snap
py bow fastened at the back or front
will give to dress of dark blue, brown
or black what the bright yellow of the
oriole gives to the birds plumage.
Following closely after the sashes,
but used more for severe frocks, are
the vest belts. These are made with
! vest-like tabs in front and tiny watch
pocket on either side, usually stitched
cloth to match the dress, or in con-
trasting colors, these are distinctly up
to date, while made in white pique
these belts are extremely popular
Other accessories which are GER
tainly practical in giving an old skirt
a modern look are the tunics of silk,
pleated, gathered, or plain, which are
made to be worn over any skirt. These
are usually of black or blue silk and
often of plaid or striped silk. One
pleated tunic is rather short, with the
belt about two inches from the top,
allowing the upper pleats to fare out
around the waist Another is accor-
dion pleated and cut in deep points. A
third type is tunic of net edged with
box-pleated ruche, which IS especial
lily pretty worn over light-colored
dress.
In high favor is the dress combining
two colors or fabrics. It is much more
popular than the dress of one color or
material; therefore in the Illustrations
II have shown two distinct types, both
suitable to either development
The first shows dress Of coarse
green linen and white linen lawn. The
front and back of the waist are of
green linen and are attached to the
white linen sleeves by narrow bead
ing of embroidery The collar and
vestee are of white linen, hemstitched.

shirt-front, is new and pleasing varia-
ton from the v neck which had long
monopoly. 1t is less trying to the av.
erage woman than any other neckline.
The long tunic holds undiminished
sway, but in this skirt variation Is
shown in that the striped tunic is at.
tached to yoke of plain crepe. The
lower skirt is also of crepe. Crepe
covered buttons fasten the dress from
the neck to the bottom of the tunic.
This model is full of possibilities for
the woman who is either making up
new frocks or remodeling her old
gowns to suit the present mode.
The proper use Of buttons, beading,
tunics, sashes. belts and the proper
combination Of materials are the true
keynotes to bear in mind when select
ing either your gowns, their trimmings
or the accessories to be worn with
them.
