Mr.. HUGHES AND EFFICIENCY.

M r. HUGHES-the candidate. Of course-'' still rot
i eggug the president account OF the passage OF
the Adamson eight hour act lie declares IN his speechc
that tho bill raises wages but does not reduce hours
It is unfortunate for Mr. Hughes argument this
nection that his analytical powers bit atrophed It
was he as remember, who first employed the phrase
America first and America efficient"
The Adamson act provides that the eight hour day or
railroad, shall he the standard after January l next and
that the roads shall pay the for eight hours
work as they now pay for ten This necessarily
Increase in wages for it not he forgotten in this CON
necon that all railroad men affected by the law what

they given certain amount Of work TO do for every
day employed They may bc able TO do this work IN s..
hours or again in twelve hours that depending entirely
upon the efficiency of the methods used by the roads
The new law offers the roads the alternative OF rcccy

hours work in eight hours II the roads wish to save the

their method Thus we see that direct economic in
ocnye +, impaired for greater productivity We also
perceive that the law wage bill only when the road
fail Of applying the cighthour principle in which case
the extra pay IS punitive for their ncinccncy.
IL II will be recalled that a couple Of weeks ago the rail
way executives advisory committee held meeting New
York for the purpose Of considering the application OF the
term, OF the Adamson act to their properties he first
thing they did request the national conference

and other details Of the application Of the eight hour day
This rcquc, indicates pretty ooneu,iycy that the railroad,

cordingly Clearly they intend to have the work done in
eight hours which has heretofore been done And If
they manage TO do this the law will not impose

 The most noticeable thing about the underneaths is the use of decided colors ; delicate shades of pink and blue are shown, but there are varying tones of rose, yellow and ''sunset" effects of double sheer materials.
 The white garment IS frequently band- ed with color, and the majority of models show some touch of decided shade
 Philippine embroidery is gradually gaining a foothold As there is no duty on articles from the Philippines, it is possible to secure the daintiest of dainty lingerie at remarkably low prices. The soft silks, nainsook batistes on which the work is done, is manufactured in America and then sent to the Philippines to be. embroidered.
 The continued use of fepe de Chine, wash .tatfeta and satin # responsible for the use of hem-stitching and scallop- ing. Slots and eyelets are used in place of ribbon beading, as it facilitates the laundrying.
 The French idea of combining pink with blue is quite prevalent. Lace of a new shade between cream and white is often used in conjunction with colored underwear
 Calais, Cluny. flet, Valenciennes, Venise effects, Bretonne nets and Ori- entals are the lace trimmings most in vogue for under garments.
 ChimaleoHs-- to- be worn under the corset have won popular edict Petit coat drawers and chemise are noted in new redingote combination. Those of soft batistc and Valencinnes lace are markedly different from the usual com- binatlonS.
 Envelope combinations of glove silk in pink and flesh, tints are no longer a novelty, but are what might be called popular"
 The return of the petticoats has brought in its wake many new models which adapt themselves to the widely different whims of fashion in a most satisfactory way. The fancy of old fashioned effects finds itself in narrow very full, frills, 'ruches, tiny tucks, bias puffs, hemstitehing and feather-stitch- inS. .tt1

Popular colors D. ..;;K ,nt,sss;:ts a.e Belgium blue, tt~cs, god. royal purple and wide at.;pcs oi white alternating with color Frequently the top is of shade con- trasting with the rufies. The higher grade the petticoat, the wider the founce. Chiffon cloth, net, sheer silk crepe and marquisette in combination with taffeta, satin, peau de Cygne and novelty silks will doubtless be the leaders.
 The extreme of elegance is reached in the petticoats of cloth of gold and sill yer to be worn with evening gowns. The circular skirt is well favored, as soft materials so cut hang in soft folds. Chif- ion petticoats with flounce after hounce like the petals of rose are embellished with ribbon roses. Most popular IS silk jersey for both street and evening wear. A jersey top petticoat spreads itself out at the knees with three ruf1es of lowered taffeta edged with pink ruch- ing A flesh pink batiste with a deep ruff1e of the batiste puffed and inserted with Valencinnes lace was tucked three times for novelty just above the flounce.
 Night dresses are of Empire and. red ingote style, and, as other articles of feminine wearing apparel, the white muslin night robe has given place to gowns of delicate colors. Shocking, picot edges, organdy embroideries, cut work and various kind of faces are used extensively.
 Printed crepes in butterfly and other designs are more called for than ever, as they do not necessitate ironing A night robe of plain rose linen with futed ruff1es of organdy was made in panel effect with short puff sleeves, a ribbon laced about the waist finished in a perky bow with streamers at the side front. A night robe of white crepe de Chine has the lower part box plaited to a deeply curved yoke. The sleeves are butterfly shaped and slashtd with rib bon. The hem IS scalloped and narrow streamy sash of pale blue satin ribbon is run through slashes at the Empire waist
 Sleeveless is a night gown, also in Empire design. of washable satin, band ed around the sleeves, neck and hem with white washable crepe. The waist has a pale pink ribbon run through the embroidered eyelets.

To arrange the hair becoming this season Is not such a vexing problem after all, because Fashion dictates that the best arrangenent IS the one which Is the most Becoming.
 The modes for arranging the hair are so varied that they may be worn any way that suits the contour of the face. The woman who brides herself on her appearance will do well to devote an extra hour or two to try one or two of the new modes to discover which one suits her best. She must study .her profleI and her features carefully-beSt 10 use a triple mirror and hand glass for this purpose. If or.e's face is long and narrow medium coiffure will make tine face look fuller If the face is stout and round, one can modify the new modes so as to bring out the acme Of beauty and charm.
 To give The hair the sleek appear ance, so much desired, the hair should be given a vigorous brushing Increased circulation and live appearance is gwen the hair by rubbing the fingers vigor- ously into the scalp.
 There is something about the deflni- ton of "coiffure' which leaves great deal to be implied. The dictionary de- fines "coiffure" as an arrangement or dressing of the hair. i "The hair has been called the great est natural adornment of the body Since earliest times Fashion has played audaciously with feminine tresses. Says the writer of Solomon's Song of the princess daughter, Thine head upon 1. thee is carmel, and the hair of thine
 head like purple the king is held in the I gallery"

 soft frame to the face: Altogether the styles. are more tolerant. and less trying than for sometime previous: '.
 The new high Psyche coiffure IS easily achieved. The hair! is drawn back, from the forehead and down low over the ears, few coquetisil curls fill Tn the knot adding a youthful charm. De voices of filmdom often copy the hair dresses of their favorite ieading pie ture actresses, and possibly this is one of the reasons accounting for the heads that are swimming over with rcurls.
 Several inches of height may be given to coiffure by rolling the hair under and then drawing out the ends into little; curls. The hair IS. kept naturally close, but not tight, and falls gracefully low over the forehead and ears, waved just enough to take out itss straight ness.
 Braided>effects are also good, and the time may not be. far distant when the coronet braid will be welcomed back again.
 One need not discard the low hair dressing arrangement, for 1t is so uni versally becoming as t9 be never quite out of fashion. One pin ;or,-nlore may catch the softly ooiIed Psyche. knot! The hair is brushed back from the face, the back hair then twisted and drawn into a cross-over knot,- IS caught by pin at both sides of the head, and. then the ends are crossed and turned oyer,
 The new haiFpins come in especially fetching designs. which gives the fright emphasis to the coil of hair. Jet con- tinues popular and IS equally used in dark or blond locks.
 Various composition materia1s with Oriental and semi-precious. jewels are displayed. High pompadour roll combs are just what their name signifies thc1n to be.
 The Spanish interpretation is noted in the combs meant to be wor, at the back of the top-knot
 Butterfly designs in enamel with | jewels, or of jet and rhinestone are much admired Shell combs mounted with balls of brilliants or with alternate balls of sapphires and emeralds, are new notes in hair adornment :. B., < :,
 Barrettes are the logical accompani- ment to the hair drawn up in back, and there is greater Variety of choice than ever before of all-sorts and kinds. For evening wear platinum barrettes, a-glit- ter with rhinestones are a good choice.
 Mandarin combs and combs in pea cock feather design are used for coif- | lure decorations. s'9
