TIoN WILL ASK LEGlsLA-
TURE TO ACT

The New Mexico Federation Of
Women's Clubs has begun campaign
for legislation empowering the state
to participate in work Of al charitable
nature. The Optic has received the
following communication on the sub
iect from the president of the fedora
ton, with the request that it be pub
Iished:
The arrival of cold weather and the
coming Of the Christmas season when
the thoughts Of all kind hearted peo-
pie turn toward the relief of the poor
and the unfortunate should make
every thoughtful citizen of New Mex
leo consider the conditions in this
state, standing practically alone, as
it does, among the states of the union,
in making absolutely no provision for
public charity. There was time
when il was proudly asserted that
New Mexico boasted Of her lack of
poor houses and poor funds, a lack
which should be a cause of shame in
stead of pride unless the state could
also boast that there were no poor
within her borders Unfortunately,
''the poor we have always with us" in
New Mexico as well as the rest Of the
world. fact which may be quickly
corroborated by application to any one
of the various benevolent organiza-
tions scattered over the state which
run the gamut from "tag days to
charity balls" in their efforts to coax
few dollars from the pockets of the
public to relieve the suffering in their
several communities.
IN New Mexico as elswhere, the
greater part Of this relief work is car
Tied on by women, either as individu-
ais or in organizations, so it seems very
fitting that the New Mexico Fedora
tion Of Women's Clubs, representing
40 it does, women's organizations
all over the state, should take the lead
in urging some legislation which will
compel some public aid to the poor
and helpless and will provide the nee
essary means for giving this aid
While much is done by the charity Of
individuals and organizations, and
while much must always be done in

ANY one Of the three examples OF
"a fine hats which are shown here Is
of a sort to make the observer OF
"class" in millinery turn to look twice
at it. Hats are as numerous as roses
and the pretty ones inspire an admira-
tion as frank and untirlng as that
given to the flowers. Here are three
totally dissimilar, each vying with
the others, as an example of excel
lence in the milliners' art, and all
far above the average in point, Of dis
tinction in style.
The largest of the three has a
rather small crown with soft top,
garnished with a ribbon band, which
terminates in small fiat bow at the
side. The brim is wonderfully grace
full, curving upward slightly and
widening at the left side. It Is a
shape better suited to mature women
than to the youthful wearer on whom
it is pictured.

plume of ostrich at the front is cal

AT EARLY all the new negligees are
IN cut with kimono sleeves and set
gracefully to the figure by means OF
odd drapings. A negligee is a neces-
sity and might just as well be cleverly
shaped as to hang in unbroken lines
One of the prettiest Of those which
have been recently brought out is pic
tured here in two views, showing both
the back and the front.
The material used for this garment
is pink alhatross and it is an ideal fab
ric for the purpose. Others similar in
weight and general character are wool
challie, nuns yelling, Japanese crepe
and crepe de chine, light weight silks
and some fancy weaves.
The heavier cotton crepes are ex
tensively used for negligee. kimonos
and boudoir jackets. Hand-embroidered
flower patterns in silk or cotton floss
are used literally on them and stand
the tub perfectly The cotton crepes
are to be had in all colors. Embroidery
which is to be washed is done in white
or in the same color as the negligee
and copied from the handsome import
ed silk kimonos on which lovely trail
ing vines and scattered blossoms are
initiated In silk floss.
The favorites, those that are "besi
sellers" are made Of cotton crepe dec
GRATED with embroidery that is easy tc
do and rapidly worked. Great numbers
of gsyly embroidered kimonos and
negligees are direct imports from
Japan, and these include popular
priced as well as expensive varieties
Wide sleeves are liked, those shown in
the picture are good examples Of this
feature. Among the more expensive
and especially among the imported
garments, the long angel sleeve is fire.

brim of velvet and crown of silver

dentation breaks its line and adds to
its becomingness. 1t is trimmed with
a single metallic rose and finished
with long tie of handsome moire
ribbon. This is mounted to the brlm
at the left under an odd and pretty
bow.
The curious shape of the third

PRIVATE ROOMS GIVEN.
Secretaries to Heads of Navy Depart
ment Provided With Quarters.

Partitions have been placed in the al
cove of the corridor just outside OF the
big reception room of Secretary Daniels
in order to provide two rooms, each about
ten by ten feet in area. One of these
rooms is intended for the exclusive use of
Mr.. Banks. private secretary to Secre-
tary Daniels, and the other for the ex-
elusive use of Mr.. Howe. private secretary
to Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. Under
the present arrangement all persons de-
string to see the Secretary or the assist
ant secretary must await their turn for
an audience in the adjoining Offices oc-
copied by the private secretaries and their
assistants.
1t is explained that Messrs. Banks and
Howe have so much business of private
and confidential character to perform fol-
their chiefs that it was deemed neces-
sary to provide them with places where
they could retire for its performance
without possibility Of interruption by Off
cial visitors The only way that could
be accomplished in the present crowded
condition of the department was by util
izing a portion of the corridor.
