AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON WOMANA
HAs II AN oProRTuNE TIME,

Why, on the first day of Congress.
lid the ,suffragists elect to present
their petition and to make their call
apon the President? Why didn't they
wait till Congress had more time to
give to the matters Couldn't they
wait till more important matters had
been brought up? Didn'. they realize
the inopportuneness of pushing their
way up the steps of the Capitol on
this very first day, when at best Con-
zressmcn couldn't give them their un-
divided and collected attention?
What was the point of all this spec
tacular playing to the gallery when
Congress was all absorbed with the
serious business of attending 10
weighty matters of legislation? Bands
playing. and flag-waving. banner
floating and marching are all very
well at times, but why rush in on the
6rst day of Congress? Why not wait
for a more opportune oecasion'
These are some of the questions
that certain type OF spectator asked
themselves and their .neighbors yes
terday as they witnessed the delesa-
lion OF women making their impress
sivc progress up the steps OF the
Capitol, music playing and flags
waving in the brisk December wind.
Many in the crowd probably thought
that it was a sign OF. rashness. and
of lack of diplomacy-this spec
tacular presentation of the petition
the very day of Congress first scs-
sion.
As matter OF fact, the women at
the helm of the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage timed their little
dramatics-if you choose so to call
it-with deep design. They knew well
enough that the Congressman would
ba.. a dozen or two dozen or hun
ircd things more prominently in
their mind than suffrage on this first
hHC" iot >oh
grcssmen would be out to greet them.
They knew that there would be no
immediate or sensational results from
their impressive entrance Of the Capt.
tol or later of the White House.
What they did know was this--that
every Congressman who watched the
performance, who saw the group OF
dignihed women from all parts Of the
country making their way to Con
gross on the first day of its as
scmblagc would have that picture as
one of the first and most lasting OF
impressions of this Sixty-fourth Con-
gross. He would be made to realize,
as no end of circular letters, indi-
vidual appeals or individual petitions
could possibly do, that the suffragists
were only waiting for Congress to
assemble before making this petition.

SIMPLICITY IS THE
KEYNOTE OF TOILET

The summer girl. despite her old
fashioned frocks, is most up-to-date
in the way she makes her toilet
Primeval simplicity-if there Is such d
thing in the modern toilet-and pris-
tine freshness are the fad. She has
put away all her beribboned and lace
trimmed appurtenances. which mark
the winter fashion of her dressing
table: neither is there decorated china
nor silver to be polished, but every
thing about her is pure white and
washable.
A dresser of white enamel furnishes
an excellent foundation upon which to
work. The cover is of fine linen, with
simple finish of hemstitch. but with
no open work to admit dust to the sur
face beneath. Her toilet set is of
white china. with a scalloped edge. but
there are no raised figures to hold the
dust. If she can1ot afford the china.
she has pure white celluloid.
For her hatpins she has one of two
holders. If she wants to stand the
holder on the bureau she selects one
of those which looks like a slender
flower petal vase. If she wants to
hang it against the wall, it looks like
a funnel, with one side fiat to hang
smoothly against the wallpaper

ing to correspond with that on the
Jacket, and are then finished with
turn-back cuffs cut in point at either
side and fastened with a short row of
buttons.
The skirt is circular with fiat groups
of pleats over each hip and directly In
front and back. Being circularly cut,
the pleats acquire a very graceful
"hang" for they are shallow at the
top and gain in depth gradually. so
that the fullness is all at the bottom
and the hips smooth fitting.
While the design is becoming to the
general run of figures and assures the
annroved lines and silhouette, 1t is
neyertheless most suitable to the
slender girl Kindly do not adopt 1t.

plain circular skirt and the more

Trinkets for the Wall.

Girls are learning to hang many lit
tie trinkets on the wall around their
bureau, as this prevents the accumu-
lation of litter on the bureau and
saves wearisome dusting. For in
stance. a girl has a good sized key
rack hung on the right side of the
bureau, from which swing a button
hook, glove buttoner, shoe horn
and extra shoe laces.
Another convenience for the summer
girl who is away on her vacation Is
pin sheet. A six-inch strip of silk of
the ordinary width Is first covered with
sheet wadding and then with six-inch
sash ribbon of a contrasting color.
The softer silk side is studded with
pins, stuck in just as they are when
bought in the paper. There are rows
of safety pins in various sizes, pearl
headed pins, smaller pins with various
colored heads to match different neck
wear, and common black and white
pins all arranged in groups. At one
end of the sheet is sewed two ribbons
which match the lining silk, and the
summer girl can roll up her sheet like
housewife and pack 1t in her bag
when travelling. At the hotel she fas-
tens 1t up on the wall by means of
two stout pins or fine tacks stuck
through the corners

any way severe, but expresses rather

The top is made SO that it may be
fastened closely about the base of the
neck or turned back from the throat,
by leaving a few buttons undone. The
buttons are run from the top to the
bust line, and fasten through a seton
strap rounded at its end. The up
standing collar Is slightly gathered
into the neck, and is cut very high
across the back and sides with point
under each ear.
The edge of the jacket runs a trifle

Complexion Brush.

Among the toilet conveniences which
she will find essential for the summer
may be mentioned the rubber COM
plexion brush. which looks not unlike
bath mitt. and slips over the hand
The use of this brush is much better
than constant application of powder
TO the face. 1t is used dry on the face,
and is particularly successful in i'm
proving an oily skin. 1t can be washed,
but must be dried before using again.
A bottle of good talcum powder for
the arms and hands and one of face
powder will be needed. also relia BILE
lotion for freckles, a little bowl of
almond meal and an atomizer filled
with toilet water. The girl who has
trouble in keeping her hair in shape

find the occasional use of brilliantine,

The girl who goes away on a long
vacation should always carry her own
manicuring set and take care of her
hands, as good manicurists are not
plentiful at resorts. The teeth should
not be neglected. and it is well to have
on the dressing table spool of dental
floss This comes in small, thin BILE
shaped cases. A spool will last long
time. II is much safer to use than
the wooden toothpick, as much harm
can be done if splinter of wood be-
comes lodged in the gums.

NEW YORK, June 12--Many pretty
uses of ribbon are seen upon the
gowns. hats and blouses for midsum-
mer wear. They are threaded through
large huttonholes to give a touch or
color TO a white blouse, or folded
around a high collar in a fashion that
suggests the early fall. The ruined
skirts in vogue naturally offer many
opportunities for the use or rfbbohs.
Narrow frflls are edged with them.
