appetizing appearance, and when tested the
supplies proved to be as good as they looked.
There certainly are some good cooks and
caterers in Mrs. Governs family. and she had
the display la California. But we advise the
Sisterhood that this grade of refreshments
cannot be kept up and had better be curtailed,
for we cannot all afford to furnish that class
of style.

Mr.. Barnes was right in contending
that political party should have lead
ers. You might as well have an army
without officers. AS to calling them
bosses, there was never, until the ad-
vent of President Wilson, such a politi-
cal boss in this country as Col. Roose-
welt. The political leader-call him boss
if you will-confers with other leaders
and pays some heed to the sentiments of
his followers; but Col. Roosevelt was the
whole thing-a law unto himself. When
he subsidized his party disappeared. AS
to President Wilson, everybody knows
that he has usurped the functions of the
legislative branch of the government
and has been as great despot as the
Car of Russia.

Col. Roosevelt himself when on the wit

Mr.. Barnes with being personally cor

defamation of Barnes. Penrose and other
Republicans should be taken as Pick
wickian. That would render all libel suits
unnecessary and futile.

| Such prediction from an obscure man

London, whom all the world turned
TO for years for fashions for men, is
no longer recognized as the leading
style center While the styles of this
spring still show the influence Of
English designing, they have been
Americanlzed to such a great extent
that we may now look to Chicago and
New York for authoritative ideas.
For several seasons English design
ing plus American tailoring have
made powerful combination. But the
clothes Of this spring show English
designing improved by American ideas
plus American tailoring, making u
still more powerful and forccful COM
binatiOn. The styles, the workman
ship the fabrics the patterns and
ColOrs Of this forthcoming season have
never been surpassed for cleaverness
and serviceability
The American method Of tailoring
for years has held the supreme posi-
tiOn i'm the world of clothes making.
The looms abroad for centuries pro-
duced cloths that were far superior to
those Of America, but the foreign tail
oring has never been brought up to
standard Of ours at home The high
rank in which our tailoring stands,
has still not satisfied our manufaCtur-
ers, and this year finds many i'm
proved methods in workmanship
The fabrics of Europe, which for
many generations knew no superiority.
this spring finds the cloths Of Ameri-
ca bidding for equal hOnOrs. Years Of
practice and observation of the Eu-
ropean methods have produced skilled
artists in America whose fabrics rival
those of the looms abroad. This sea-
son we may expect to see as many
domestic fabrics tailored up into suits
and overcoats as fabrics from Eu-
rope.
ClOthicrs and merchant tailors are
more optimistic this spring than they
have been for several seasons. They
feel assured that the styles that have
been created for the forthcoming sea

son will appeal to all classes ages
and sizes Of men. They predict better
business-they predict the universal
adoption of American styles.
For several past seasons there has
been a tendency for mature men to
follow the lead set by young men by
wearing lively clothes A man was as
young as his clothes. Many men in
their thirties and fortes looked like
college lads. But this spring, to a
limited degree, we find this condition
reversed with young men a bit more
conservative, following the styles set
by their fathers and older brothers
Designers this spring have created
many styles for young men that,
thought quiet in makeup and re-
men, are indeed attractive. Many are
shown with short, stubby, we'll
rounded, rolling lapels, quite unlike
those of previous seasons. They are
shown in two and three-buttOn coats
of a very conservative nature.
For spring and summer nearly all
the suits are unlined. This gives more
comfort on warm days, being lighter
IN weight, and the coat holds its shape
better. In many stocks there are suits
that are one-quarter and one-half
lined for men who live in localities
where the weather varies.
Suits as a whole this spring promise
to be chesty and extremely form fit
ting. This Of course applies only to
young mems fashions. The coats are
severely tailored and follow closely tho
lines Of the body They are snug in
appearance, but in most instances not
so tight as to make them uncom-
Portable.
The one button suit bids fair for
supremacy in young mems STYLES this
spring. 1t is a very handsome model
that first saw the light of day last fall.
but promises TO occupy the spotlight
on the stage Of good dress this sprils
1t buttons somewhat like the Tuxedo
and in most instances has long and

extremely wide rolling lapels. In this
model again we find the lines Of the
coat following closely the lines Of the
body.
Speaking of lapels in general this
season we might say that they will be
much wider than ever, and i'm most
cases peaked, rounded and rolling.
There are many that are short and
stubby, while there is still a tendency
for the radical young fellow to choose
those that roll to the second button.
The gorge Of the coat will be cut
much higher and deeper than has
been the custom before in American
styles. This is somewhat an adapta-
tiOn Of the German fashion. The col
lars of the coat are cut very high and
broad, setting well onto the collar OF
the shirt.
The low cut vest Is here in a strong
contingency this year, bringing the
shirt into fuller view. The styles
shown this season resemble closely
those Of about ten years ago. Most of
them have rolling lapels and are worn
with the first button open. The ma
iority have five buttons, while some
few have six and seven buttons
White and fancy waistcOats that
were i'm the height of their popularity
a few seasons ago are back again
They are shown in striped effects and
solid colors Most of them are low
cut five-button styles with wide roll
inc lapels
Double breasted vests are coming
into favor with many smart dressers.
They are shown with wide rounded.
rolling iapels They will be Worn I'm
early spring, but not so much during
the summer because Of their double
thickness.
The trousers this year are cut much
i'm the same style as last fall. They are
narrow and straight and quite snug
around the waist and in the seat. The
young men will wear them a trifle
shorter, with narrow cuffs of about a
to u inch i'm width. Most Of the older
men will wear their trousers about the
same as usual, with the bottoms
touching the heel. They viii wear
them without cuffs.
First and foremost i'm the world of
new patterns for spring comes the
Glen UrguhaH plaid. II is beautiful
effect that should he even more pop
ular this spring than the Tartan plaid
was last fall It comes In all colors
