Good style, grace and simplicity
characterize this neat little model,
which may be developed with or with

well with long or short sleeve. For
ordinary wear; for school, or home,
wash fabrics, such as galatea, ging
ham, or percale are very desirable.
If warmer material is liked, there are
lovely half wool suitings in plaids and
checks, also nice serges, repps, voiles

Duty of Congress

TINE next congress will be billion-dollar con-
i gress beyond any doubt. In view OF the
nationwide demand for expansion OF the army and
navy there must be a considerable addition to the
usual appropriations. Neither party, says the New
York Sun, would dare to obstruct the path to
preparedness If the Democratic leadership in the
house should be found in the way it would soon
be hustled to one side.
Over the Republicans and the seven Progressive
members the Democrats will have a majority of
only thirty one in the Sixty fourth Congress. The
record of the Republican party leaves no room Tor
doubt that it will stand practically as unit for an
adequate army and navy. Leaders OF the Pro-
gressive party have already declared themselves.
In the Democratic membership of 232 there
great many sensible and patriotic men who can
have no sympathy with penny wise pound foolish
national defense policy. Therefore it may be TAX
en- for granted that the next congress will vote the
necessary, appropriations for the army and navy,
even though the total for all needs OF the country
should be too large for comfort.
Where is the extra money to be found? 1t must
be forthcoming No one wants bond issue. Only
a supreme emergency would justify that expedi-

After the war, what? Does any one doubt that
every manufacturing nation in Europe will see

unless it is amended before the peace? Thrift to
the uttermost farthing, or its equivalent, will be
the rule in England and on the Continent, and
