Democratic Senators
Fighting President
on Shipping Bill

These are six of the seven Demo-
cratic Senators who have rebelled
against the shipping bill President
Wilson and his administration have
been trying to put through for sew
eral days: James p. Clarke, Arkansas;
Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock, Nebraska;
James *. Vardaman, Mississippi:
John II. Bankhead, Alabama; Thomas
w. Hardwick, Georgia; James A.
O'Gorman, New York.
Most of them were opposed to the
government going into the merchant
marine business at all. In the first
part of the week considerable pres
sure was brought to bear on them by
friends of the President.
The fight of these Senators was the
first important contest in which Presi-
dent Wilson had engaged with the
members of the upper house. The
feeling against him there, it has beer
claimed by political enemies, has been
growing ever. since he nominated for
Federal Offices politicians in various
States over the heads of the Senators
representing these.

such marriage advisable? E. NJ.
Such a marriage is highly inadvis-
able. A girl of fifteen is incapable of
making a choice by which she must
divide her life, and a man of ffty-two
is old enough to be her grandfather.

A1OMen tssls ses slnreReS as
What an Accomplished Girl
Should Know

and then she should be taught how
to talk. OF course, in its highest es
sence, conversation is as much an in
spiration as poetry; there are two or
three great principles that any girl
can master that will make her an
interesting and agreeable companion.
Don't Talk About Yourself. Your
Family or Your Amusements.
She can be taught not to talk about
herself, her family, her little amuse-
ments. the places she has been, and
to always talk to other people about
themselves and their amuse ments,
and their families and their interests.
Between talking about my own golf
score and your golf record is the diff
erence between being a bore and
brilliant conversationalist.
She can also be taught to listen
intelligently, and to think before
she speaks. so that she will keep off
other peoples pet corns, and will not
converse with a dlvorcee about matri-
monial infelicity, or ask a one-legged
man if he dances the fox trot.
An accomplished girl should know
enough music to be able to play and
sing sufficiently we'll for parlor con-
sumption, which isn't highbrowed in
spite of all that we pretend to the
contrary. She should also know how
TO play good game OF cards, so that
she Will not be the despair of hostes-
ses, or incite murder in the breast of
her partner when she has to fill in
at a table of bridge. Talleyrand said
long ago that every one should learn
to play a good game of whist i'm their
youth, so that they might not pass a
miserable old age Every girl should
learn to play a good game OF bridge
nowadays, so that she may not pass
a miserable present as a wall flower
An Accomplished Girl Must Know
How to Make Stew Into Ragout.
Finally, an accomplished girl should
know how to cook and sew. What
ever else a girl may need or not need
to know, she is sure to have use for
all the houseWifely accomplishments
she can attain. If she is rich she
will be able to run her establishment
better if she is a practical cook her
self, and she can come the nearer to
getting the kind of effects she wants
from her dressmaker if she knows
how to make the garment herself. If
she is poor, her ability to keep n good
table and dress well depends entirely
upon her own skill and knowledge of
how to cook and sew 1t is art that
turns q stew into a ragout, and two
dollars worth of dry goods into a
confection, and no woman has a right
to consider herself an accomplished
woman who can't do this.
It's great thing to be an accom-
plished girl, and it requires much
knowledge, but the results are worth
the effort.

(85I5 Two-Piece Yoke Skirt,
~ to 81 waist.

Here is skirt showing plaits used after
one of the newest and most approved
methods. They really are not made in
separate pieces but, nevertheless, they are
arranged to give panel suggestion.
While they flare abundantly and freely
as the wearer walks, they take straight
lines when she is not in motion, and
these lines are always becoming. The
smooth yoke does away with all bulk over
the hips. The yoke, as we'll as the skirt,
is cut in two pieces, and the trimming of
buttons at the side-seams is an effective
one. If preferred, the finish can be made
at the natural waist-line with belt.

BY DOROTHY DIX.

Women are the Jacks -of-all-trades
of life. To succeed a man must spe-
cialize. 1t is enough for him if he
profession. But for woman to sue
ceed as a woman-and being a wo-
man is Il profession in itself-she
must know something about every
thing. and have half dozen differ
ent arts and trades at her fingers
ends.
We don't hear the oId-fashioned
phrase, IAN accomplished girl" very
often nowadays, but there's just as
much need for her as there ever was,
and this brings up the question Of
what an accomplished girl should
know.
First. think, that an accomplished
girl should know how to read-not
elocute. Heaven protect us all from
the young women who arise in COM
pany and recite, There are few
greater pests in the world than she,
but on the other hand, there is
nothing more delightful than the COM
panionship of one who is able to read
aloud to you inteIligently, and sympa-
tbetically a passage from some book,
or a news story from paper. This
accomplishment is very rare one.
Not one woman in a hundred can read
aloud so that you can understand
what she is reading about. She
doesn't understand it herself, and
that's why so few have the reading
habit.
Girls Should Be Taught To Write an
Interesting Letter.
Second, an accomplished girl should
know how to write. She should be
taught to write a legible hand, and
an interesting letter. Nothing else in
the world does more to predispose us
I'm a woman's favor than for her to
he a dead letter writer one who
sends us a line of congratulation when
good fortune comes our way, or
word of sympathy when sorrow
knocks at our door; who writes us
graceful little note of thanks for any
courtesy, and who shows that she
keeps our memory green when she
is away from us by an occasional
letter.
Most people are guilty of silences
that are nothing less than brutal just
because they have never been taught
how to write letter or skilled in the
gentle art of notes. No attention is
paid to this in the ordinary school,
md yet how to write letter in one of
the most important things that a wo-
man can know,
An accomplished girl should know
how to talk. Her voice should first
he sand-papered and manicured, or
whatever is necessary to make it
agreeable to the ear. She should be
taught how to laugh instead of giggle,

Down in Washington the admin

with the idea that it is having a hard
job to maintain the neutrality of the

has sought refuge on American soil
indicates that the work is not going

Europe progresses. AT the same

The Newspaper Bill.

Certain newspapers, which have
permitted cowardly contributors to
slug somebody under the protection
of anonymity, are responsible for the
/ Powell bill 1t is, in fact, purely
personal reprisal on the part of the
senator, who, in common with other
public men, has been maligned in a
newspaper which will neither take
editorial responsibility for what it
says nor compel the contributor to
sign his name Rutland Herald.
The Messenger feels that 1t is join
ed by the great majority of newspa-
pers in Vermont in regretting that
there has been occasion for the pro-
posal of such Legislation as con
tanned in Senator Powell's bill. There
have been excellent reasons why the
state has been able to be proud of
the newspapers published within it's
borders as rule, and it is double
pity if this rebuke has to be visited
on all because of the shortcomings of
very insignificant minority.
The basis for the proposed legisla-
ton is not Senator PowelFs desire to
avenge himself on some journal
which has permitted unsigned attacks
to be made on him, according to his
own statement, but because some
well known citizens of his city have
been the targets of such attacks. 1t is
also believed that some editors have
been in the habit of writing to them
selves, expressing views for which
they did not want to assume editorial
responsibility.
Beyond all doubt when an editor
writes to himself in this way he is
exhibiting journalistic cowardice of
the most extreme kind, and is not de-
serving of the respect of his fellows
of the Fourth Estate nor of the public.
If there are such in Vermont their pun
ishment would be welcomed by the
great majority OF editors even more
than by the public.
There is no profession which
should demand higher character quail
ifications than that of journalism OF
course there is an ideal which cannot
be attained by mortals, who are
prone to make errors, but there
should be that honorable intent on
the part of editors which has right
to expect

successful editor, once said; yet at
