come down TO this: II your good old
aunt took lessons In painting on plush

lady was morally good makes her plush
painting good. even when It's rotten.
And where do all the kickers get the
idea that the show T. an exhibition OF

are no clothes in the show. The exhibits
consist OF felonious tides. furniture, first

OF the show. SO far as can see. make no
attempt 70 ridicule their foreOears. They
have brains enough to See that "a person

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN---ST: The
exhibition of tasteless and crude orna-
ments admired by my generation may be
instructive but should not be ridicuied
by modern men and women.
Go into any large department store
during the holiday season, oh. aye. youth
full wiseacres. and gaze upon tho acres
Of monstrosities offered for sale. which
no doubt are sold. and hold your peace
concerning the crude tastes Of your
mothers.
The women who took pride In making
God Bless our Home in wax water
lilies. In lambrequins bright with roses
and pansies, in leather work and spatter
work. in "Oriental' and "Grecian" paint
Ing, were not as lacking In taste as those
who buy the hideous bric-a-brac sold In
this twentieth century.
As for the costumes. a graceful figure
il charming whether clothed in volum-
nous skirts or half covered by modern
gowns. and a pretty. youthful face Is as
attractive encircled by neat brads and
well FURNISHED hair as when smothered
In snarly. rough masses and hyaway ends
of hair.
In my day bonnets were bonnets and
tied under the chin. Some we're ugly
and some were pretty. What more can
YOU say to-day?
I recall bonnet OF my own. black vel
vet with a white ruche inside and pink
roses, tied with pink ribbon strings. No
one need tell me that was not pretty,
though It was worn just Atty years ago.
At this late day I may say there was
pretty face within the encircling rim.

Of navy development have been freely

on grounds Of reason. Hut no one be-
fore, In or out Of Congress, has ever
intimated or apparently even thought
that any motive that could In any way
be associated with the word graft had
any place in the makeup Of the naval
officer. As n matter Of fact, these
officers are usually devotees Of their
calling. enthusiastic and single minded
defenders Of their country with GER
tain vein OF simplicity and nafvete
in their characters as regards the or
binary affairs Of life.
Few Of them have any wealth and
none acquire any. Nor do they care
about it as a rule. Modest living is
the rule for themselves and their fam
lilies. and all are happy to retire when
their time comes on the comfortable
competence that the country gener-
ously allows them. No group Of men

absolutely foreign. The rigid training
that begins with the first day In the
Academy at Annapolis makes the bare

horrent to them than the worst straits
into which honest men may fall.
The country. we think. will read with
disgust the charges 80 recklessly
launched by Messrs. wITuERsPooN and
HEysLEY. There will be universal
gratitude TO Chairman PADGETT of the

fists. At present. II We are not mis-
