For many weighty reasons President

work on its hands.
l. No sane conclusions have yet beer

6. There Is no urgent necessity for act

not acting hastily.
Z. Enough new and untried legislation

to digest and resdjust matters is sorely

that she induce Covington, her lover, TO

that If Covington won't run, Speed Will.
The Cowboys are hilarious over the pros

White Lace Waists.

Not only are nets and laces used
together, but they are combined with
taffeta. Dressy waists have the upper
part of lace and the girdle or peplum
in white or colored silk. The new
Japanese collar and the plated sleeve
frills are also made Of taffeta. ALI
over shadow laces and plain nets are
shirred on heavy cords and trimmed
with lace bands and edges.
Many of the models have the
sleeves unlined, but the body OF the
waist shows a low-cut lining both
back and front. This leaves the neck
and the arms partially uncovered, the
tint of the flesh showing through the
lace. When entire Innings are used.
pale pink chiffon or net is used, as
this suggests the flesh tint. A large
proportion Of the necks are finished

TT ia said that French women can

fully that are quite impossible to other
women. But the French insist that
Americans are favored with the same
gift. Whatever may be our opinion of
the French talent for clothes, we will
concede that the women manage their
coiffures with fine effect. Here Is a
group Of three, dressed to suit the in
dividuals and to be worn with eve
ming dress. Each n shows the beau
ty of ~carefulness, at least, and some
originality Of treatment.
At the top a simple style shows the
hair waved only about the face. 1t is
plain over the crown of the head and
combed to the nape of the neck. There
is a wide, loose and very soft braid
made of wavy hair extending all about
the head. An ornament made of pearl
beads follows the line Of the braid and
holds the hair about the face neatly In
place.
Such a couture is an excellent model
for women whose heads are not as
shapely as they could wish.

Knew the Time,

On a cold night a man was hasten
ing across the public square with hii
overcoat buttoned up to his chin. He
was rather anxious to know what time
1t was, but he was too lazy to open hif
coat in order to get at his watch. Just
then he saw a well-dressed man ap
preaching and remarked to himself:
'This Is a cinch. I'll cen ask yor
genteel stranger what time 1t is and hs
will unbosom."
He perceived that the stranger wal
buttoned up Just as he was. When h
came up the man who wanted to know
the time removed his hat politely snt
said: "Sir. do you know what tim'
1t isl"
The stranger paused, removed HI
right glove. unbuttoned his coat from
top to bottom, unbuttoned his under
coat, and finally pulled out his watch
while the chill wind cut into his unprs
tected chest. Holding up the watch o
that the light would shine upon Il
face for an instant he glanced at
and growled:
"Yesi"
Then he passed on without anctAs

themselves upon the weapon with hor

Speed, who had sat in open-mouthet
amazement during the scene, pinched
himself. Like Larry, he could not re
move his gaze from the swarthy man

fort, however, undertaking to divert
the present trend of the conversation

pinned on. The natural hair is waved
and combed back to the nape of the
neck. Here 1t Is coiled or the ends
are turned under and fastened in with
a fancy comb in the new mode. The
entire front effect Is made by pin
ming on a ready-dressed piece made
with a short light fringe over the fore
head.
Milady's own hair is waved and
dressed as shown in the third couture.
A small fiat pad supports the hair at
the back. The waving is very loose
and the hair, parted a little at one
side and 1uffed, sweeps backward and
over the pad. All the ends are brought
together in the new mode at the right
side and pinned in with a long shell
comb.
Women are, rather reluctantly,
adopting the high hair dress, but with
one accord apparently taking to waved
hair.
One should not lose sight Of the
value of individuality in the matter Of
the couture. 1t is as desirable as va
| riety. An occasional change of styles
pleases everyone, for in hair-dressing,
as in other things, variety is the spice
of life.
