Long Skirted Blouse.

A new idea in the waist-line of
blouse is to Shir it over elastic bands.
This makes the waist fit easily. 1t
is used with the long-skirted blouses,
and some girls like to wear one of
these over a sports skirt, instead of
silk sweater. The material is used
in solid color, with white collar and
cuffs, or white with colored acces-
series.

THE CARNIVAL QUEEN.

The immense float upon which
Miss Jean Wallace, Queen of the
Carnival, rode made a beautiful pie
ture as it wound it's way down the
avenues among the green trees car
rying its weight of youth and beau
~ TO the coronation.
The float presented a magnificent
appearance in white and gold, with
traceries here and there of white
morninggiory vines. Upon the float
was built a throne with white col
umns at the four corners, topped
with chapters of gold, supporting
canopy of white morning glories,
which terminated under a dome of
gold
On the throne was a gold chair up
on which the Queen sat in her regal
splendor, Her dress was a creation
in tilmy white chiffon, deliberately
trimmed in silver and pearls. The
high Medici collar was made OF silver
lace edged with pearls. the Iong court
train being edged with ermine.
The maids in waiting who We're
Miss Irene Malone, maid Of honor,
Miss Cora Brown. Miss Julia Ander-
son, Miss Mary Robson, Miss Laura
Margaret Hoppe and Miss Virginia
Barnes, sat upon steps leading up to
the throne They each wore sheer
est white organdy frocks made very
full, and carried silver baskets show
cred in pink sweet peas, with large
pink tulle bows on the handles.
On the throne with the Queen sat
her two little train bearers, Herbert
Clay and Bassford Field, These beau
tiful children dressed in quaint little
white satin suits made the picture
all the more enhancing.
The Queens crown bearer, Palmer
Reynolds, years old, rode in the
Kings chariot, carrying a white sat-
i'll cushion, upon which rested the
jeWelled crown of gold, to be placed
on the lovely head of the Queen.
This handsome child was perfectly
darling in q suit of white satin and
gold lace, with this he wore little
slippers Of gold.
Surely the Queen could not have
found anywhere in all the lana,
three more beautiful children to add
10 her retinue.
ms lovely spectacle was drawn
by four big white horses with white
harness, outlined in white morning
glory vines. Walking at the head
o. each horse was a footman in white
g.; cry.
Dn either side Of the float rode the
Queens knights on horse back,
dressed in knightly attire, with silver
regalia, and from their sides hung
silver swords ready to be drawn in
defense of their lovely young Queen.
The knights were DR.. Leslie Blair,

Congressman c. William Beales Of

for the bill we're local. At the time
the bill was before congress, Adams

harvest and at the start of the apple
picking. Growers communicated with
Mr.. Beales, asking him to use his vote
to prevent a railroad strike which
would tie up freight shipments and
cause loss to the orchard men esti-
mated from S150,000 to 100000 He
authorized the correspondent to say
that this was his reason for supporting
the bill

Of Sacramento, Cal, to a correspond

to this was that he had advocated the
eight-hour law for years and that
President Wilson had seized upon it as
a political expedient.
Neither the railroads nor the men
demanded legislation" was a declara-
ton imputed to Congressman Cassius
c. Dowell of Des Moines, Ia, who de-
clined to say why he voted for the
bill president Wilson took the mat
ter up, and when he was unable to
handle it he passed the buck to con-
gress."
Congressman Lindley H. Hadley of
the Second district, Wash, said he
did not care to comment on his vote
at this time, in view of the possibility
of further legislation bearing upon the
same question

reasons, either directly or through

letter, telegram was sent TO each
congressman Finally, The World
correspondents throughout the coun-
try were instructed 70 see the con-
gressmen personally and 10 interview
them on the subject OF their approval
Of the law
The result Of the canvass is that
eleven Of the seventy stated their rea-
sons either directly or through cor
respondents. Fifteen Of them declin-
ed TO give their reasons. Three Of
them acknowledged the requests and
promised 10 make statements, but did
not. Sine could not be reached by cor
respondents. The others were not
heard from.
OF the eleven who gave their rea-
sons for supporting the bill. nine de-
ciared they did so because they believ-
ed that by its passage alone could a
national calamity be averted Two de-
clared their chief reason was their be-
lief in the principle Of an eight-hour
day which IL embodied. One man gave
both reasons. From correspondents
came the information that Republican
campaign managers were urging lnOSe
congressman who voted for the bill
not to state their reasons for doing so
Others who declined averred that il

TO HAVE SUCCESS WITH PEAS
Some Things About Their Planting
and Care That the Amateur Gar
dener Must Remember.

Peas naturally require cool weather
and are likely to DO badly if planted
after weather gets hot. They are
about the first seeds to go into the
ground.
One popularity of peas is that they
require to be planted quite deep to do
best. How far apart to run the rows
depends on the kind of peas being
grown. If the low growing varieties
are to be grown they may be planted
In rows not more than fifteen inches
apart The taller varieties may need
to be planted thirty inches apart. The
low-growing varieties have never given
the writer satisfaction and he will
grow them no more. The medium
sized vines will produce more peas
and continue to produce longer, but
they have to be brushed" that is
sustained with brush.
In buying peas to grow for the use
Of the family do not select small ones
like the Alaska. This variety is a
great one for the canneries. for they
cater to the hotel and restaurant
trade, which demand small peas, as
they make a better show:

RIGHTLY PROUD OF CITY
Great Metropolis Of New York Worthy
Admiration Accorded It by All
Americans.

New York, as the incoming foreign
err full of prejudice, or doubt. or hope,
and the returning American, crammed
with guide book and catalogue culture,
see it, or might see it, rises vision,
a mirage of the lower bay, the color
by day more shimmering that Venice,
by night more magnificent than Lon
ion.
In the morning the mountains of
buildings hide themselves, I u reveal
themselves in the rosy steam clouds
that chase each other across their
danks. When evening fades they are
mighty cliffs glimmering with glisten-
ing lights in the magic and mystery of
he night. AS the steamer moves up
the bay on the left the Great God
less greets you, a composition in color
and form with the city beyond, finer
than any in any world that ever ex-
listed, finer than Claude ever imagined,
or Turner ever dreamed. Why did
not Whistler see it?
Piling up higher and higher right
before you is New York. And what
does it remind you of? San Gimigna-
no of the beautiful towers away off in
Tuscany, only here are not eleven, but
eleven times eleven; not low, mean
brick piles but noble palaces crowned
with gold, with green, with rose; and
over them the waving, fluttering plume
of steam, the emblem of New York To
the right, filmy and lacelike by day,
are the great bridges; by night pat
tern of stars that Hiroshige never
knew.
You land in streets that are Flor
ence glorified. You emerge in squares
more noble than Seville. Golden stat
ues are about you, triumphal arches
make splendid frames for endless
vistas; and it is all new and un-
touched, all to be done, and save for
the work of few of us, and we are
Americans, all undone
The Unbelievable City, the city that
has been built since | grew up, the
city beautiful, built by men l know,
built for people know. The city that
inspires me, that love. And all Amer
lea is like this, and-all-or nearly all,
unseen. unknown, untouched.-Joseph
Pennell, in Scribner's Magazine.
