come arbiter Of fashion himself.
"Why, the styles Of today are a
hundred times more comfortable
than generation ago." said
Campbell. Women don't have a
lot of sleeves, bustles. and skirts
hanging around. Where the grand
mtoher used to wear score of
skirts and frills. grandchildren
today may only wear one-apiece."

declared. Congressman from suf-
frage States today demurred to
talk on styles fearing feminine
reprisals at the polls. Others said
they didn't want to rock the

Most congressman seemed satis-
fed with the soul comfort in
feminine summer attire as exem-
plified on F street.

Climbing Roses Urged As
Home Be1utifierS

bush had been cut down In This
manner.
In the case OF a high trellis q
different method must be followed.
The removal Of wood must begin
from point higher up instead Of
from the root. as the growth Of
a bush Is not enough to replace all
its top on a high trellis II required
to grow 50 far. Only so much Of the
old wood should be removed after
the flowers have bloomed as will
enable the new shoots from the end
Of the remaining poStion of the
stalk to replace the Old growth.
About four feet Is safe measure Of
the amount that may be taken off.
Those who have grown climbing
roses as a screen on their porches,
in order to insure a fine bloom the
coming year. will do well to follow
the advice as given for the higher
trellis. In other words. about four
feet Of the old stalks that have
bloomed should be cut off immedi-
ately after the blossoms are wither-
ed. The foliage win recover within
a very short period and continue to
screen the porch. and next year an
abundant crop OF blossoms will be
assured.
